Kennedy Cheek | October 5th, 2026 | Courtyard | @Lily Isobel McCoire | WC: 243

It was a chilled autumn afternoon in the courtyard, the crisp air persuading Kennedy to pull her jacket tighter. In her hands she held a photograph of her little sister, her silly grin missing her two front teeth. The photo had come in the most recent letter from her family and it felt like treasured gold. It didn’t move like the normal wizarding photos, instead it stayed perfectly still, a sign of Kennedy’s muggle heritage. In the photo Mayah was in one of their mom’s old dresses, and it was 10 sizes too big but Mayah has always loved playing dress up. Kennedy had no doubt that her little sister would one day inherit their mother’s stunning appearance. All three of her siblings had the same dark hair from their mom, however Kennedy was the only one who had straight hair instead of curly. Robbie and Mayah had always taken after their mom with their loud confident personalities, but Kennedy was more reserved like their dad. Kennedy went to carefully place the picture into her bag when a stray wind caught her off guard, sweeping it right out of her hands. It was across the courtyard before she could process what had happened, and nestled itself in a low hanging tree branch. While it wasn’t too high up, Kennedy could already tell that her shorter stature would not be able to help her reach up. She glanced around searching for a potential solution.

Lily was outside today. She had been worrying about Colin after everything that had happened over the summer and she truly felt that she needed to be there for him. She hated what had been done, hated that she couldn’t always be there for him. As a sister, she would put everything aside to make sure he was okay. To make sure that he wasn’t sliding into depression or something. But he would also kill her if she put him first. If she stopped her studying and her homework to be there for him. And it killed her that she had to put education in front of her family. That just wasn’t her. Lily climbed up a tree to be alone, to not be bothered, to maybe just maybe have some peace. But alas! It was not to be. Because just as she was shutting her eyes, the footsteps of a person. Lily didn’t move but just listened. She cracked an eye open and saw that the girl had lost something to the wind. There was a photograph stuck in a lower branch. Lily carefully climbed down to get it and she glanced at the photo before looking at the girl. “Is this yours?” She asked, not in a particularly kind voice, but not in a mean voice either.

Before Kennedy could do much to problem solve, she realized that there was actually a girl sitting in the tree. She was on the older side, maybe a fifth or sixth year. The girl climbed down out of the tree, effortlessly, and grabbed the photo of Mayah.
“Is this yours?” She asked
Kennedy stood open-mouthed for a moment. In her time at Hogwarts her interaction with older students had been scarce, she was a little intimidated by them. They seemed like they knew it all, like there was some secret to life that everyone younger than them was yet to find out. Kennedy has seen the shift in her brother slowly happen, he was suddenly so much better than her, and didn’t have the time to talk to her anymore. She snapped out of her starring however, and remembered to be polite. She fixed her face and quickly nodded her head.
“Yes! The wind had blown it from my hands.” Then Kennedy took a bold step by her personal standards, “What were you doing sitting up there in a tree?” She asked, however what she didn’t say aloud was how dangerous she thought it was. How could the girl sit up there and not be afraid of falling? If one thing went wrong she could end up with a broken wrist. But maybe that was a part of the secret of getting older: did it make you care less about what happened? Kennedy didn’t think that was the answer. Maybe the girl was just a brave and daring person, which Kennedy knew she herself could never be.
