I couldn’t take my eyes off Kex, wondering what he was going to say. He looked around the table, and then his gaze landed on me. He gave me a small smile, and my heart fluttered.

Then, he stood up and walked over to me. He pulled me up from my chair, and I looked at him with raised eyebrows. He just smirked, that cocky grin of his that both annoyed and intrigued me. I scoffed, trying to act unaffected by his presence.

“There will be a ball tonight,” Kex announced to everyone.

I looked at him, confused. I didn’t remember Kex telling me about a ball. My mind raced, wondering what was going on.

“What’s the occasion?” Harry asked, his voice curious.

Kex’s gaze landed on me, but he didn’t say anything.

“You’ll find out tonight,” he said, turning back to the group. They all nodded, seeming content with the answer. I, however, was still left in the dark. I wanted to know what was going on.
