Chapter 2: September 1
Harry woke on September 1st, sunshine hitting his face. Harry had been spending more time with Michael, planning the wedding and whatnot. He ended up deciding that he wasn't going to take Michael's class, having said that he had enough on his plate. His birthday came and Harry was surprised when Michael had given him a beautiful necklace for his birthday. It was a simple pendant with an emerald in it. Michael had told Harry it would bring out his eyes. Harry didn't stop blushing the rest of the day.
Harry touched the necklace, the gold chain and the gold casing around the stone was cool on his chest. He sighed. Hermione had been acting like a bitch about everything while Ron was getting close to his fiancée and Michael's family. Janet and Ron actually were hitting it off pretty good, much to everyone's surprise. Harry and Ron had spent their days watching Michael and the rest of the Jacksons rehearse and prepare for the next summer when they would actually tour their new CD.
Harry quickly dressed in his school uniform and headed down to the Great Hall. He entered the hall only to find Ron and Hermione having a go at each other.
"HERMIONE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HARRY'S BEST FRIEND! WHY CAN'T YOU SUPPORT HIM!?"
"FIRST OFF HOW ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT HARRY GETTING MARRIED!? HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM THAT IT IS A MAN HE IS MARRYING!? THE RON WEASLEY I THOUGHT I KNEW WOULD HAVE BACKED ME 100 PERCENT!"
"There are some things you need to learn to accept about life and the world, Hermione. The magical community isn't as prejudice as the muggle world on a lot of things. Besides this marriage between Mr. Jackson and Harry is completely normal. It happens every day between lots of people. I made a mistake in 4th year and I am not going to make that mistake again." Harry smiled at Ron and said to Hermione,
"Really Hermione you are suppose to be the smart witch and not against these kinds of things" Hermione huffed and stormed from the hall, muttering something about the library again.
"Thanks mate" Harry said sincerely as he sat next to Ron. Ron nodded and turned back to his sausages. Harry locked eyes with Michael and smiled shyly before turning to his toast. Breakfast was ending when Owl post came and Harry saw Hedwig flying his way. He accepted the letters she was carrying and let her drink some of his pumpkin juice before opening the first letter.
Dear Harry,
How is our secret backer? Heard you are getting hitched. Well be assured we have the entertainment covered.
What Fred means is that we have fireworks ready for the end of your reception our dear jaded one.
Good luck,
Forge and Gred Weasley
Harry chuckled before opening his next letter. He loved the twins.
Potter
Your Uncle and I have received word that you are to be married. We have also been invited to attend the wedding. We shall be attending the wedding. We will be at your school on September 1st after your opening feast
Aunt Petunia
Harry sighed and glared at Dumbledore, who merely ignored him. Harry finally just sighed and set the letter aside before banging his head on the table. Everyone jumped and looked at Harry.
"You ok there mate?" Ron asked and Harry shook his head.
"I must go prepare myself for my relatives showing up, no thanks to Dumbledore" Harry muttered darkly before getting up from the table and nearly storming away. Harry's magic crackled dangerously loud and told everyone that he was not in a good mood. Michael watched him with furrowed eyebrows before getting up and quickly following the enraged teenager.
Michael found Harry sitting by the Great Lake, angrily throwing rocks into its watery depths.
"My relatives……they hate me" Harry said as if he sensed the question Michael was burning to ask him. Michael sat down and asked quietly,
"What did they do?"
"Verbal abuse, blamed me for every little thing that went wrong, ect ect. I didn't have a very fun childhood." Michael waited to see if Harry would go on but he didn't. In fact Harry seemed to get lost in his memories and just about screamed when Michael touched his arm lightly. Harry muttered an apology before rushing off back to the school, leaving a dumbfounded Michael Jackson sitting on the grass. Overhead, the sky started to cloud over.
That Night
Harry sat with Ron at the head of Gryffindor table, talking animatedly with Neville, Dean, and Seamus. Hermione sat near Lavender, who was talking non-stop about fashion and Snape's hair for some reason. Harry kept glancing up at the head table, where Michael sat watching him.
"From what my gran said, Michael is the king of pop, whatever that means" Neville said as he glanced up at the singer.
"Neville he IS the king of pop. Pop is a type of music and he basically made it what it is today. He is amazing. You should see him dance" Dean said in awe. Harry nodded and touched the pendant, smiling softly.
"What's that Harry?" Seamus asked and Harry replied,
"Michael gave it to me for my birthday." The three other Gryffindor boys leaned in and Neville whistled.
"You guys may be getting married to keep you here in England Harry, but I think Michael has some serious courting plans in mind" Harry turned his eyes back to Michael, who smiled at him and Harry smiled back, blushing lightly. The sorting came and went, the song being really funny for once instead of warning them all. Dumbledore then stood and hush fell over the hall again.
"Good evening everyone. To those who don't know me, and to the few who don't remember, I am Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Welcome to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. A few start of term notices before we begin the feast. First off let us welcome warmly to the halls of Hogwarts Professor Michael Jackson, who has agreed to begin teaching choir and dance here as he gets ready to start recording his first CD for the Magical Community" There wasn't one muggle-born student left sitting in their seat as they rose cheering for the pop star. Dumbledore smiled as Michael stood briefly, bowing his head slightly in a salute of sorts and raising the peace sign, before sitting back down. Finally Dumbledore raised his hands for silence. Those who had stood to give Michael a standing ovation sat and as Dumbledore continued, Harry shared an amused smirk with the singer.
"Also please welcome Professor Lupin back to the staff as our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor-" Whatever Dumbledore was going to say next was drowned out by the complete standing ovation the hall gave the blushing Remus Lupin. Gryffindor was the loudest of the tables. Eventually the hall calmed down enough for Dumbledore to continue his reminders and then the feast started. As students piled on the food and the talk of the new professors rose to a dull roar, Harry's friends started on Michael.
"One of his most popular songs in the muggle world is called Thriller. And then his most amazing dance move is the moonwalk. I'm telling you guys, he is fucking amazing!" Dean was going on; those who were near enough were hanging off of his every word.
"What's he like Harry?" Seamus asked after a while and Harry took a moment to reply.
"Two words: Amazingly sweet. He is brilliant and amazing" Seamus snickered and Harry asked,
"What?"
"You have that star-struck look in your eyes. You're in love with the man you are marrying for protection" Harry shook his head and turned to his strawberry ice cream, thinking about what Seamus had said. Was he falling in love with someone who he had to marry for protection?
Author's note: So I wanted the wedding in this chapter but I also wanted to get this out so the wedding is next chapter. I hope you enjoy.
Also I changed the title from Musical Love to Will You Be There, a titile from one of Michael Jackson's more heart warming songs. I hope you don't mind.
It will be about a week at the most before I update again.
Thank you, r&r much love
Sierra Stevens
LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP!
