The Aviary:
Several hours later guests started to arrive and the O'Riley's men started greeting guests while the female population was still perfecting their looks. An hour into the party the lights turned off in the Ballroom. A magical spotlight appeared at the top of the stairs. Mrs. O'Riley was in the spotlight looking beautiful in sea foam green robes, with her dark brown hair falling to her shoulders. Her husband walked up the Grand Stair to escort her down. When Mr. and Mrs. O'Riley were at the bottom of the staircase the youngest O'Riley stepped into the spotlight. All the eyes that had previously been on her mother and father were now on Kennedy. She stole the show in her robes, white kimono style with red and green trim that had cherry blossoms for the pattern on the material. Kennedy realized she was the center of attention, and it made her nervous. Roary appeared next to her, much to Kenn's relief. Kennedy took her brother arm and began her descent of the stairs.
"Standing next to you makes me look bad, Kid," Roary said out of the corner of his mouth. He smirked when his sister elbowed him in the side and told him to shut up. "Relax sis! You've done this before, many a time actually." Kennedy relaxed slightly and began to smile at their guest instead of looking like she didn't care about anything.
When the pair reached the bottom of the stairs their parents stepped out of the shadows and stood next to their children. The crowd erupted into applause and several camera flashes went off. Kennedy blinked and asked her brother out of the corner of her mouth, "Why are people taking pictures?"
"Umm... I don't know, I guess they had reporters come, for what, I don't know, but I don't recall there being cameras last year. I also don't remember there being applause, not since they announced that mum was pregnant with you. You don't think..." Roary answered, escorting his sister away from the stairs as the lights came back on.
"No I don't think, do you?"
"Oh shut up. They can't be having another child, they're not exactly young enough any more. What could it possibly be..." Roary's said, his brow furrowing in frustration. The two O'Riley children began greeting people.
After an hour at the party, filled with trying to decline offers to dance and not succeeding, Kennedy decided that she could leave the party. Kenn walked out into the courtyard, the cool night air blowing on her warm flesh. She walked over the fountain and sat on the edge dipping her fingertips in the icy cold water. It was a shock, but one she enjoyed. The girl stood and headed down the path towards the aviary. The courtyard led to a maze of bushes that Kennedy knew by heart. She navigated the maze almost mindlessly finally ending up in front a large glass building. There were no lights on inside of this particular building, and Kennedy didn't plan on changing that. The door to the aviary had a special charm on it, if you were part of the family or with someone who was, you could open the door, if not, don't try. For the fools who try the O'Riley family, who are all very fond of their birds, gave them a face full of dungbombs, an electrical shock that was powerful enough to temporarily short circuit ones system, and another shock before that to the most terrible spot to be in, the funny bone. The idea of this was to make you stink, have you laugh at your own mistake then have your body, save for you brain, lungs and eyes, so you could enjoy your trip to the ministry for punishment.
Kennedy placed her hand on the door handle, it recognized her immediately. The door opened slowly for her, she stepped inside. The aviary was kept warm for the birds, but not unbearably so. A bench in the back of the aviary by the most exotic birds was Kenn's favorite spot to sit; she was going to that spot now. The girl sat down on the little stone bench and held up her hand. Almost immediately her pet toucan, Tapanga, flew to her arm. Kennedy pulled a mango she'd snatched from the kitchens. The bird took it gently out of Kenn's grasp and threw it in the air for herself, then took flight to catch it, this made Kennedy laugh. I guess her name fits her really well, sweet and unpredictable, Kennedy thought while throwing some more fruit in the air for the bird to catch. Since she was looking and talking to the other birds Kennedy didn't realize
someone was tapping on the glass, wanting to be let in. When the tapping started to get louder Kenn looked up and saw a shadow in front of the aviary. She walked over the door and still couldn't see who this mysterious person was, but they looked to be about her age and taller than her.
Kenn flipped the light on the outside of the building on. Standing outside of the aviary was none other than Draco Malfoy. Aw crap! What the heck is he doing here? She thought to herself. Draco pointed to the door handle, indicating that he would like to be let in. Kennedy eyed him wearily, but opened the door. Draco stepped inside and the door closed.
"Why the hell are you here, Malfoy?" Kennedy asked outright, not even bothering to try and be polite.
"What you didn't know I was here? I'm surprised," Draco replied while looking around at all of the birds in the big glass building.
"If I'd known you were here, at the party, I wouldn't have bothered to come to this stupid thing. I'd like to stay as far away from you as possible," Kennedy replied. She walked back to where she'd been sitting before and Draco followed.
"Oh, why so hostile?"
Kennedy looked at him like he was crazy, "Hmm... let me think does this sound familiar? 'It's okay Kenn, you can cry, I'm here' and when I finally stopped crying, you kissed me. Quite frankly that's not what I consider to be...good I guess is the best word. I, personally, only think that idiot scum does that," Kennedy glared at him as he sat down next to her.
"Oh yeah that," He said looking down, a blush rising on his pale cheeks. This shocked Kenn, she didn't think that Draco knew how to blush. He looked at her and smiled, blushing further.
"Yeah that."
"I'm really sorry about that, I just couldn't control myself. I'd actually only meant to be there, not anything more," Draco's eyes were hopeful, like he was telling her the truth. Kennedy highly doubted it, but she had a way to be sure.
"Yeah, uh-huh, sure."
"Honestly, I'm telling you the truth. What will make you believe me?" Draco asked, turning slightly, to face her better. Kennedy smirked, she had the perfect plan.
"Okay Draco I'll believe you," he looked hopefully at her, "if, you jump up and down while hopping in a circle. You have to pat your head and rub your tummy and say 'I'm a giant prick and I should never have done what I did, I'll never do it again." Over and over, until I say stop. The look on Draco's face was one of disbelief and horror.
"I'm not going to do that, what if someone sees me?"
"Well, I guess you really don't want me to believe you that bad, and I guess you're really not that sorry. If that's true I may have to let Raven out," Kennedy said while getting up and heading to frosted glass doors with the only part not frosted reading "Raven". Draco gulped and asked what Raven was. "Raven is my flesh eating bird." Kennedy said, she pushed a button and the frosting on the glass went away. Behind the doors was a giant condor type bird. It was an array of colors, rainbow some would call it. With big powerful wings and beak, claws and lots of muscle in its legs, it had bright eyes that were black by the pupil and became yellow closer to the white. The feathers were obviously soft and fluffy. It looked like a bird that would eat meat, save for that fact that it rested on a velvet pillow and had quite a few other luxuries.
Draco gulped, "Umm... Wow. If it eats meat, why is it in the aviary with the other birds?"
"Oh it's not cannibalistic, just carnivorous," she shrugged and opened the door, "she eats small things, like mice, owls, and cats."
"Cats?"
"Yes, cats you got a problem with that?" Kennedy asked raising an eyebrow while petting Raven.
"No..." Draco walked forward and reached out a hand to the bird. Raven nipped his fingers and made him yelp. "You're just going to let it do that?" He looked outraged.
"Well, I did tell you I was going to let her out, you have to be careful what you do, now if you don't do what I said I might let Raven have a piece of your finger next time," Kennedy said, stroking Raven's head.
"Fine, fine," With that Draco began jumping in circles, rubbing his middle, patting his head and repeating the phrase "I'm a giant prick and I should never have done what I did, I'll never do it again." This went on for approximately ten minutes before Kennedy was able to stop laughing and tell him he could stop.
"I'm never going to do anything that undignified ever again, you got that, Hun?" Draco said while panting. He sat himself down on a particularly puffy bench.
"Hun? Since when did you start calling me Hun? Since when did I say you could call me Hun?" Kennedy looked at him and saw he wasn't phased in the least. He didn't answer and Kennedy wasn't going to try and force him because she just didn't care. If he called her that in front of other people she'd either hit him or yell at him tell him to stop calling her that.
"Okay well since you did what I want I believe you," Kennedy told him. She went to the sink and Draco a glass of water. He gratefully excepted it and drank it down in one gulp.
"Thanks, I really needed that, I didn't know jumping up and down could be so tiring," Draco gave the glass back to her and she put it in the aviary's sink.
"Drake, I don't think it was the hopping, I think it was using your brian, but that's just my opinion," Kennedy shooed Raven back into her room and locked the door, frosting over the glass.
"What a nice sentiment, good to know I'm loved," Draco relaxed now that Raven wasn't about, the bird scared him, but just a little.
"You should be so lucky," Kennedy retorted. She, too, sat down, but across from Draco. "So why don't you tell me how you came to find me out and why." She looked at him frankly and waited for his answer.
Draco chuckled, "Tact isn't your strong point, Hun, don't look at me like that. I'll call you Hun if I want, atleast I'm not calling you wench or bitch or something else like that. Anyways I wanted to apologize for what I did, so I asked your brother where you were and he said you were here. So I came here to apologize. If I'm not forgiven, I'm giving up on you."
"Well you are forgiven and what do you mean giving up on me?" Kennedy inquired, eyeing him. I have no idea what he's talking about. Is he on drugs? Kenn asked herself.
"I mean I'm going to stop trying to get you to at least go on one date with me. You won't even consider before you say no, don't even try to deny it! If you actually get to know me, you might not think that I'm such a bad guy," Draco's eyes softened as he looked at her. "I'm so sorry for all I've done to you and your friends over the years." Draco got up out of his seat and knelt in front of Kenn.
"Please give me a chance, please Kenn, if you hate me after one date, that's okay, but just give me one. That's all I ask," he took her hands and pressed them to his cheek.
Kennedy sat there looking at him, dumbfounded and speechless. "Draco, I don't know what to say really, I've never seen this side of you... I...I... guess... I guess it would only be fair to go out on one date with you, only reasonable." Draco looked up at her, happiness in his eyes. He took his hands off of hers and cupped her face with them, instead. Kennedy just sat there looking at him, a faint blush rising on her cheeks because Draco was looking at her so intently.
"Thank you," he whispered, getting up and helping her up too. "Now I think we should get back to the party, you've been avoiding it for most of the night. We should dance."
Kennedy gave him a strange look as she opened the door, so he wouldn't get shocked. The pair walked back through the maze of bushes and then in the building when they immerged on the other side. A waltz was playing so the couple went out on the floor and took up the step.
-------------------------
"Oh! Narcissa! Look at our children! They're dancing together, we should definitely encourage this. What do you think?" Vevila O'Riley whispered loudly to her friend. Narcissa Malfoy nodded, eyeing her son and her friend's daughter waltzing.
"They make a very nice couple, my question is how my son got her to even dance with him. I was under the impression she couldn't stand him, not that I blamer the girl, he can be a real git. Hmm... We most definitely have to encourage this behavior," Narcissa replied, smiling. When the dance was over and another had started Kennedy and Draco were still dancing, even laughing with each other. This made both mothers very happy, the fathers were obilivious. Draco and Kennedy danced together for several more dances before they sat down at a table and had some beverages.
-------------------------
"Kennedy, did I mention who gorgeous you look tonight?" Draco questioned. Smiling at the glare she cast his direction.
"Yes, only about fifty times. Listen Drake, just 'cause I agreed to go out with, making me your girlfriend," she shivered at the thought, "the doesn't mean you have to be all weird and stupid...er."
"Okay, okay, fine you win, but I have one question," Draco leaned in further so his face was closer to hers. Kennedy could feel his breath on her face. Kenn started shifting uneasily in her chair.
"What would that be Draco?"
"If you're my girlfriend, does that mean I can kiss you?" Draco leaned further yet, this caused Kennedy to shiver, and then she was surprised because it was from.... Delight. She, too, leaned forward.
"When would you like to do that?" She asked in a low, tempting voice, her eyelashes fluttering.
"Well, I'd like to kiss you now, since this was kinda like a date, but I'll have to make you wait till New Year's," he smirked and tapped her nose with his finger.
"Make me wait? Who said I wanted to kiss you?" She looked at him innocently and smiled. "I think I'll retire for the night, I'm rather tired, tired of putting up with you."
"Oh now, I find that hard to believe, I'm not as terrible as you thought I was, am I?" He asked, getting up and helping her up as well. He walked her to the stairs were she took her arm out of his and finally answered.
"No Drake, you're worse," she smirked and went up the stairs, heading to bed. Draco watched her until she turned a corner, he was smiling to himself.
-------------------------
I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm being nice, civilized, and flirtatious with... MALFOY! Something is most defiantly wrong with me, I'll have to see if I have a fever tomorrow, Kennedy said to herself as she laid down in bed an hour after she'd come to her room. Getting out of her costume had taken much care so she didn't hurt herself. Kennedy sighed as she laid down in her bed. She rubbed her hands over the face and rolled over. Fifteen minutes later Kenn finally drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
A/N: sniffs Do I smell romance in the air? Yes I was very unsubtle about them, and i know Draco was OOC, but he's supposed to be. Please don't hurt me! Okay, please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please review!!!!!!!! ok luv ya!
