Kenny enjoyed what was romance that was to remain nothing more than a secret kept only between the two as he didn’t think it would be really a nice idea to go and tell about it because it was too much. He really enjoyed the dinner and now that he helped Cassandra up like the gentleman he was, they were now going to go out and check out the lovely stars as he had his blue plaid flannel shirt with him over his long sleeve to help keep him from getting cold. The night really was a good one with a nice breeze that not too cold not too warm but just right to be honest.
He realized that Cassandra wanted to keep relationship pretty much small yet good as they can for the time being. However he did noticed that she wanted to really show her feelings but just don’t know when it shall be done at all. He walked with her with one hand holding her hand for now because he was worried if he had his arm around her she would probably feel a bit uncomfortable for now after the talk that they had. He looked up the stars with Cassandra hoping to find some really good constellations out tonight as he can noticed from a distance the castle lights on for now so it was safe for now and no problems at all.
He then saw something that he learned from the lake and pointed his finger out hoping Cassandra would noticed what he was pointing at. “Here’s one I learned, it’s called the Big Dipper, its part of a large constellation called Ursa Major” he said as he was pointing at a group of stars that looked like a measuring cup. He then showed her the Little Dipper which was part of the Ursa Minor. “Interesting to know, the Ursa Minor also features the Northern Star, a star that isn’t positioned north but helps you when you’re lost. “Well it may be hard to see good constellations, but the stars out tonight are really so much of a show themselves and to see them outside is a real entertaining treat.” He said as he looked at Cassandra who looked like she was having fun but felt something was wrong. He figured that maybe she was going to kiss him by surprise as he looked at her as he had his hands on hers waiting to see who wants to do the kiss first.

Her mind was already planning the different ways to keep their relationship secret. Of course she knew there were abandoned classrooms and places they could go, assuming that he was willing to sneak out after crewfew and meet her. Then she figured the locker room of the quidditch fields could be interesting since it was probably abandonded when no one was playing or practicing. Obviously common rooms would not work and the great hall would not work. But she had a feeling that there would be enough places to go to get by.
It seemed that he did not want to take it further since last time she freaked out but she wanted to show him that she was actually intersted in going further. The hand holding was nice but she moved closer to him and placed her arm around his waist. The waist seemed right and she felt warmer as she walked with him. Once in a while she stole a quick glance at him before looking back at the sky. Cassandra wanted his arm around her shoulder and him to kiss her. Afterall a girl could not be expected to make the first move all of the time, but if she had to then she would.
Then he pointed up at one of the star sets. She directed her attention to the different places he was pointed. Of course she knew them because that was one of those things they spent time on during the first year in Astronomy. Even if she did not like the subject she still worked hard for grades. Then he mentioned using the North Star in case you got lost. "well hopefully we wont need it since we can still see the castle and that should keep us from getting lost." She commented.
Part of her wanted to wait to see if he would kiss her, but she had a feeling he was not the type to take things further without her initating it. After a bit she stopped walking and pulled him closer to her. She gave him a kiss and kept it passionate. She hoped it was what he needed to get the hint that she was interested in going further.

When they walking outside Kenny was being so much calm and careful hoping not to make Cassandra feel uncomfortable as he held her hand for now. He really wanted to have his arm around her like its done in those romantic dramas that the muggles watch on the screen and end up crying for some reason. He was afraid that if he did something like that she would probably be quite upset and maybe even snap at him like when they were at the tower after he said that he think that he was in love with her. He promised that they should wait a while before love is ever considered for the two and he would stick by it with her.
When he did show her the stars at night however he noticed that she let go of his hand and then placed it around his waist which made it seem like she wanted to feel more relaxed as he felt maybe it was right to do what his mind tells him as he placed his arm around her shoulder for now as he showed her more of the stars at night. He was doing the best he can to show her a real good time and he did not know it yet but he was really doing well in making her very impressed. She then told him that they might not need the north star as the castle lights are still on for now keeping them from getting lost at all. That comment made Kenny chuckled a bit as he thought it was cute and funny.
When he looked at Cassandra not sure which one should kiss he thought maybe something was going wrong with the two. He was then met with a kiss by Cassandra by surprise as he really liked how it went and then he looked back at her and gave a nice looking smile as he had his arms around her as he moved closer to her face. He looked ready for anything as he closed his eyes and begin to kiss her back on the lips as he kept the lips there hoping to see how she will react to this.

The physical did not make her uncomfortable what made her uncomfortable was the saying. Plus she would let him know where he needed to stop if things got too much for her. So badly she wanted to see how far she could go in a physical manner. Everyone always talked about that final step and she knew almost no one that was pure anymore. Her body was begging for more physical contact right now.
Once her arm was around his waist she felt him arm over her shoulders and pulling her tighter to his body. Having the quiet serenity of the woods and the stars was just the perfect beginning of thier relationship. It was like the muggle movies when the girl and guy finally get together in the beginning of the movie. Then something rips them apart before they realize they are soulmates and returning to each other. Hopefully that did not happen since she did not want drama in her life. Drama ment that she would be stressed out and that is not good for someone in thier fifth year about to take thier OWL exams.
For now she could live with the fact that she was initating things but she hoped that maybe he would start to go further. She moved closer and moved both arms around his waist. Slowly she pulled back from him and looked up at him. "I have a question... are you scared of doing the physical stuff?" She asked and watched his reaction to her question. "because I would be interested in trying the physical stuff unless that is something you dont want to do." Was it weird that she once pictured herself as the girl who needed to be in love and basically almost married before she would even try some of that stuff. Now she wanted to try it and go further but obviously that wasnt going to happen unless he was interested. Was he the type that needed love to do anything of the sort?

((Sorry for the wait what do you mean by physical I‘m trying to be good here))
Kenny seemed a bit nervous than last time when he decided to go and embrace Cassandra and kiss her under the nightly sky. He was doing what he can honestly to ensure that he and Cassandra was to have a wonderful first date. He did enjoyed the dinner at Three Broomsticks as they talked more about school and there true feelings. He noticed that Cassandra was feeling like she wanted to be full of unusual surprises to make the date seem more interesting which had already started when he was showing her the stars.
He looked on as he pulled her close to him as if they were like the main heroes of the romance novels his mother would read. He never really considered himself like the lean hero of the story though she figured Cassandra would be like the love interest of the novel who is interested in him and begin a relationship that was full of wonders. He had so much on his mind for this was his fifth year in Hogwarts and not only that, he had to be ready for the OWL exams and he really want to do real good honestly. He really care for Cassandra however and did not want to mess things up just because he was determined to be an ace student at Hogwarts but he did want his chance to have a relationship that would last.
Kenny then noticed that Cassandra was pulling back as they shared a passionate romantic kiss under the stars as if something felt wrong. Kenny looked at her in confusion when she asked him if he was scared of doing the physical stuff at all?. Kenny never really knew what it meant when people want to do physical stuff in romance but he looked at her and told her what he thought. “Well I’m not really scared I don’t know what it means." He then figured it might mean something bad as he continue to held her in the romantic embrace and resumed his soft kissing on her lips hoping to make her at least feel nice.

It seemed like the whole world just melted away when they kissed and that was a great feeling. She loved how time froze and no one else mattered and all of those other cliche things. Was this true romance? And was this how her parents fell in love? Truthfully she knew very little about how her parents met and fell in love. Her older sister used to tell her that they met one night at a club in London and he walked her home. They talked until 4 am while standing on her door step. Also according to her sister mom's front yard was covered in yellow and red flowers the next day, mom's favorite color.
Cassandra wondered what her moms reaction would have been to see all of those flowers covering her yard and if her father obtained them through magic. She knew their love was genuine and she knew that she had genuine feelings for Kenny. But like every girl she wanted that just over the top romantic moment. Cassandra could not have it though because of the house competitions and the whole wanting a secret thing. Maybe one day when she was older and no longer dealing with the demands of Hogwarts. Once in a while her grandmother talked about arranged marriages but she doubted her father would ever agree to it.
She knew the question was not appropriate and that she was being too forward and felt bad right afterwards. "You know what... nevermind I asked. Its a stupid question that doesnt need to be asked." She said and then kissed him back. The kissing was a distraction and now that thier lips were busy they did not need to talk about it. This reminded her of one of her favorite lines from Shakespeares' Romeo and Juliet. That line was 'You kiss by the books'.

Kenny didn’t need to worry at all about anything that troubled his life at all, he was here with Cassandra as they stood underneath the stars sharing what may turn out to become another romantic moment. Things were going real calm and fine as they were together and sharing a lovely kiss together on the lips as he really liked to make sure she was enjoying the night as much as he was enjoying this moment. He never really knew how his mother would fall in love with the muggle that became his father at all if they would knew that he would be such a cruel being.
He had real genuine love for her and it really showed since there meeting at the tower where they really mentioned there past and were surprised to know that they are alike. He really wanted so much to be a true love for the two yet it was trouble. The two were in different houses and with the House competitions going on not to mention the Owl exams and the quidditch matches that would be going on it would cause trouble between the houses. But he really cared for Cassandra and hopefully the two would keep there romance a secret for the time being. He was honest in keeping secrets and not blurting things out at all being that he was shy and quiet most of the times. He did wonder though if they would continue to have moments like this as it was almost like a book his mother loved called Romeo and Juliet.
As they were kissing he saw Cassandra pulled back and apologize for what she was saying earlier about physical stuff as he smiled and spoke up to her. “No worries, um do you need to rest your feet again so you don’t have to balance so much and be seated on the ground?” he asked as they resumed there kissing as he really enjoyed there kissing yet he wanted to make sure she does not hurt her foot trying to get a good balance in kissing him.

She remembered the story of Romeo and Juliet. Secret lovers whose families were at war with each other and then Romeo gets banished and Juliet pretends to die. Which results in Romeo actually killing himself and then Juliet kills herself. Obviously there was more to it than that, but that were the major points. The big difference between Kenny and Cassandra and Romeo and Juliet was that they were not star crossed lovers so thier story would not be a Tragedy like Romeo and Juliet.
Another thing was that Romeo and Juliet was definately a tragedy and she hoped that their love would not be a tragedy, although for some reason she felt this strange feeling that a black rain cloud was slowly forming over head metaphorcally speaking. She wondered if her sister and brother both found love yet. Her sister would be 17 and her brother would have just turned 20. Her brother was always the ladies man and even in highschool brought home girls that he was kind of dating, so he must have found love a this point. Then she wondered about her mother and if she would ever remarry.
"yes a seat on the ground with be nice." She commented. They were at grass so under would be comfortable to sit on. She broke the kiss again and found a comfortable spot on the ground. The ground was cool but from the ground they had a great view of the sky and of the castle in the distance. Another good thing about tonight was that curfew was extended to midnight since it was a weekend and all of the studens, who were able, went to Hogsmeade. So they still had a few hours to kill.

Kenny recalled how his mother told him the story about Romeo and Juliet when he was a 4th year at Hogwarts. She told him that it was a story she was so familiar with as a teen as it was both romantic and what was known as a tragedy story. He learned about how the two characters Romeo and Juliet were known as star crossed lovers from two different families that did not get along quite well. Kenny even learned that his mother did in fact cry by the end when Romeo thought Juliet died and ended up drinking the poison killing him instantly which led to Juliet killing herself afterwards as Kenny realized that he and Cassandra can’t be like that being that there was no tragedy though they were from different houses.
He did wonder though about his mother being single, it wasn’t something he hated because it gave her a chance to spend some time with him as they got to do some stuff together whenever he was on break from school. One of his favorite things he and his mother liked were going to the Quidditch games that were played for real being that they are familiar with his mother being a chaser in her days and now he is keeping the legacy alive and he did hope that Cassandra would really cheer for him secretly even if Hufflepuff were to face Syltherin in the finals. Those thoughts seem to be in his mind so much but now his thoughts for now were to have a good time with Cassandra keep the date going great.
Kenny smiled with relief as Cassandra agreed for the two to sit down on the grass area. After breaking the kiss so that the two can have a seat they sat together as Kenny slowly placed his arm around Cassandra’s shoulder hoping she would really enjoy it as they looked up at the stars and the moon that was actually really nice out tonight like it was when they met at the tower. “Cassandra, this has been such a great night and I just want to say I’m really enjoying spending this time with you.” He said in a calm tone as he was wondered if Cassandra was going to react happily with that and maybe even surprise him with a kiss.

It was just awful for someont trying to keep their blood status a secret to have as many muggle books in her trunk as Cassandra did. She knew that one day someone would find them all. She mostly kept classic novels on her, stuff like Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe. If she had never been the magical child then she would probably have gone to a nice muggle boarding school and done very well in her Literature classes only because she enjoyed reading so much. Of course if she was not a magical child then her family would still be together and Cassandra would be a completely different person.
She knew that the quidditch matches were about to start any day now so she needed to mentally prepare herself for supporting her house and him. Now there would be no screaming his name from her seat it would be more just sitting there enjoying most of the games that would be taking place. Gryffindor was definately Slytherin's true rivals. She pulled her sweater tighter around since it was starting to be cooler outside. Snow would follow next month and cover the entire land in white powder. That always ment that the term was close to being over and she could go home for Christmas. Maybe people would visit her this christmas.
She moved closer when he put his arm back around her shoulders. Her gaze was back upwards at the stars and the moon. "I have been enjoying tonight and I enjoy spending time with you as well." She said. Why did he think something like that would upset her? At this point she wanted some sort of conversation. "So kenny tell me... what do you want to do with your life after Hogwarts?" It was an interesting question that showed who a person was. Did he have ambition or was he still unsure of it. Plus they needed to know since after thier OWLS exams they had to take thier NEWT classes and exams. And those exams really did determine ones future. Cassandra planned to take as many as possible to keep her options open.

To find so much muggle made books were really a challenge that both Kenny and his mother would had to endure being that they were wizards and that they would be looked down upon from the cruel muggle people that may want to pick on them for being different. It was something Kenny could never stand since he was a little kid when he moved to England with his mother to start a new life. He can still remember the kids teasing him for being magical and inside he was so emotional and sad.
Kenny thought about the quidditch matches that were coming up real soon as he was hoping to follow real well in his mothers footsteps. He was so nervous honestly about this season as he wanted so much to help lead Hufflepuff into major victory winning the quidditch cup which may be a factor in probably leading Hufflepuff to a great lead in the house challenges that has been going on as always in Hogwarts. He shaked a bit from the cool gentle breeze though he had his flannel shirt on over his long sleeve to help keep him warm for now. Somehow the breeze didn’t really felt like it was all cold and frozen to them as the breeze felt just right though he knew pretty soon that winter was on the way and it meant that it will be snowing and the Christmas season will be on the way as he will get to spend it with his mother and her family who really seemed decent for witches and wizards.
He then felt Cassandra move closer to him after he placed his arm around his shoulder as they both looked up at the stars. After she told him that she really enjoyed this night with him as well as her enjoying the chance to spend time with him, he really smiled brighter as he knew that he was no trouble at all on there first date. When Cassandra asked him what he want to do after Hogwarts he stopped and thought about it. “Well, to be honest it’s really hard to say. I mean I want to be successful Wizard and have a great future. I also probably like to be maybe a popular quidditch star. What about you Cassandra?” he asked as he kept his arm around her shoulder making her feel warm from the breeze as they stare up at the moon becoming brighter than ever.

No wizards ever followed her and her father when they went to buy muggle books. They knew that he married a muggle and that his daughter had been raised as a muggle for most of her life. So they never said anything. They just let them go andno one every spoke of it. But at Hogwarts she did not get the luxery. Instead she was hiding books in her trunk to read at night whenever was dead asleep at night. The one time she ventured out of her room to get a cup of coffee with one of her muggle book she ran into a teacher. The teacher asked about the book but Cassandra said it was just muggle studies assignment and that was it. She ran back to the room without her cup of coffee.
As far as she knew Slytherin did decent at Quidditch and she always went to support her house in her house colors. Normally it was just the house sweatshirt and stripped scarf. Then she would sit with everyone from her house and cheer with them. This year she had to cheer for her friend Diana since she was worried about keeping her as a friend. Afterall Diana could make or break her in the house and even if it was a lame teenager desire she still wanted to be known in her own house.
She figured it was probably a good idea to talk and get to know on another better since they did just jump right into kissing. "A quidditch star sounds like a fun job. You would get to travel and see the world and play quidditch all of the time." She commented. If she could fly then that would appeal to hear. However she could not fly and she hoped that Kenny never asked her to fly or play quidditch with him for fun. Cassandra would fall right off her broom. "Me... I have no idea. Somedays I think I would want to teach potions but I would be an awful teacher. Other days I wonder about going to a muggle college to get a real world degree." She explained. "I know its a silly idea since I cant use a muggle degree in the wizarding world. All I know is that I plan to take as many NEWTS classes as I can."

Whenever he was at Hogwarts he would follow rules and try not to do anything that may be rash at all whenever it includes reading muggle books though he did wish that he can bring the muggle books he and his mother had in case he felt bored and alone for the day. He did enjoy the outside world now and then when he was taking a break at school for Christmas or Summer and spend time with his mother. He thought about doing muggle studies for this year at Hogwarts and yet he just had a feeling that it was something he was afraid to take at all.
He knew that Slytherins are tough at Quidditch and he figured that maybe this year may be the one for Hufflepuff for they are now pushovers though most of the years Gryffindor and Ravenclaw had been pretty good in the sport too. Even if Hufflepuff did well and have a party it would be tough for Kenny to decide if he wants to spend the victory with his teammates or spend it privately with a celebration date with Cassandra. As far as he sees it if his team did beat Slytherin how will he face her as she might be a bit upset though he did hope that even afterwards maybe Cassandra would probably congratulate him and they would still be cool to each other about it.
Kenny felt better about speaking to Cassandra and getting to know her much better as they did some kissing although she might be ready to probably surprise him again with another passionate kiss under the stars which did seem like something out of a romantic film. Kenny grinned as Cassandra said she like the idea of him being a quidditch star as he would get to travel and see the world and play the sport all the time. He then listened on as she said she wanted to probably teach potions though she was afraid she would be a bad teacher as he looked upon her and begin to speak. “You don’t have to be afraid of being an awful teacher. You would probably not know unless you try.” he said as he gave her a smile hoping she would feel more better. “Dreams happen but only if we want so much to believe in them and that is what makes them come true.” he said as he gazed upon her for now looking at her lovely eyes and hair as they were as lovely as ever. She then told him about her maybe going to muggle college to get a degree. “Well I hope you do very well on those NEWTS classes I have faith in you” he added.

Cassandra, like most Slytherins, broke rules and broke them often. There were parties she attended in her common room with questionable beverages. There were also the nights when she did not sleep at all and she would be outside of the common room past curfew. There were less than five times that she was caught and at most she was just told to go back to bed and pretend it never happened. However her sleeping issues were starting to get to her and she hoped that over christmas she would find a way to get some sleep at night, like more than an hour or two.
As far as quidditch went she would not take it personally if he beat her house at it. There was no reason to be upset over something like that since it was him job to beat the other houses. And she would encourage him to go to the parties with his house since you needed to be friendly with your house. Plus they could always meet up later and celebrate. "Do you know when the next quidditch game is?" She asked since she was still in the dark about it.
She laughed. "please.. I have no patience for people who do not understand and I am awful at explaining things." She said and smiled. But her mother was a muggle teacher so maybe there was some teaching ability in her. Actually she had been thinking about like a ministry type job for after school. "yeah... we both have to pass our OWLS first. and you are right about dreams so I think we should dream big." She commented and smiled. "So you can be a world class quidditch player and I will be the worlds best Auror." Slytherins were known for their ambition and if Cassandra was going to reach big then she was going to reach to be an Auror.

Kenny never really thought of himself as a rule breaker being that he was quiet and shy all of the time but he felt like being tempted to at least take a trip on the wild side of getting into mischief . He had thought of the ideas, but yet he never really consider the idea at all as he just basically stayed put in the common room after classes were over or sometimes he would walk quietly trying to think about what to do whenever he felt like he was all alone with now. He did hope that on his Christmas break however that he might at least think about doing at least something that can be very funny over the holidays as he would be at the outside world and at home with his mother.
He can tell by her eyes that Cassandra wouldn’t be really upset if his team were to beat Slytherin in quidditch matches as it was his job to defeat rival houses as those are the rules and the rules are meant to be followed at all times. He figured that it would be nice to celebrate with his friends first after the victory and then celebrate privately with Cassandra by meeting up somewhere where no one can find them at all. As Cassandra asked Kenny about the next quidditch game he stopped for a bit and wondered as he wasn’t really certain. “Well honestly, It’s hard to say but when it comes time for the next quidditch game I’ll be ready.” He said as he wanted to dedicate at least a victory to her to make it feel like a romantic moment but yet he felt that it may be a bad move with the other teammates finding out.
He then listened as Cassandra kept saying that she was awful at explaining things but Kenny didn’t want to hear it at all as he just spoke back. “Well I don’t think you can be that awful I have a feeling you might do well. I’m only just trying to give you support to make you feel good.” he said as he also heard how she like his comment about dreaming big by believing as he was really happy bout her kindness. As they watched the stars he couldn’t help but noticed that some of the stars up were forming something really bizarre as he noticed a bunch of stars formed together a heart shape symbol as if it was the symbol of love which made Kenny a bit perplexed as the two already agreed that they should wait a few days or weeks until they can really say they love each other but even though it looked odd the stars making the heart symbol seemed really wonderful.
