A/N Apparently this story is so amazing it needed a new adjective. In the wise words of Carrie, "They are gazmorglupigraciosbodohvafehindikapani-paniwalapre divanerstaunlich.
Yup. That's what they are."
We love that girl ;D
Chapter 11: Just a Sidekick
Wajid dejectedly walked into potions the next day. His date with Ramira had gone awfully, she was always fishing for compliments! On top of that he was second guessing his thoughts on Ethilinda. Sure she wasn't the greatest dancer, but he liked her a whole lot better than Ramira! He hadn't seen her since the Three Broomsticks when she was with that other Slytherin though so he hadn't had the chance to talk to her yet to see if he could have a second chance with her. He decided that he would talk to her in potions today.
He sat down and waited for Ethilinda to walk into class, it was very odd for her to not be early as this was her favorite class. Ramira walked through the door and sat next to him, smiling. She must have thought the date went okay, but it didn't. Wajid would have to talk to her later, something he was not looking forward. He FOUND awkward conversations, well, awkward.
The bell for class to start rang and Ethilinda was still nowhere to be FOUND. It was very unusual for her to skip class. Just then the school nurse entered the class.
"Hello class, I have a very important message for you all today. As you can see one of our students is not here today. Ethilinda was kidnapped last night by a Voldicorn." Madam Pomfrey said gravely.
"What's a Voldicorn?" Wajid asked.
"I'm not even going to tell you Wajid, you'll find out soon enough." She answered him.
"Stop asking questions, ten points from Gryffindor!" Snape said from a corner in the classroom.
"If she is not rescued soon I'm afraid she may not have long and the school may not be able to stay open for long. That is all." Madam Pomfrey finished and left the class.
Oh no! Wajid thought to himself, Not Ethilinda! I'll have to do something! I'll have to FIND her! I am a Hufflepuff after all! I can save her! Then I can tell her how I feel about her too!
Potions dragged on slowly as Wajid tried to think of where Ethilinda could be hidden and different ways to save her, but her couldn't think of anything. He was just a pathetic Hufflepuff. A sidekick.
"Hey Wajid." Ramira said to him as he gathered his things, "I was wondering if you wanted to go out again sometime. I has soooo much fun yesterday."
"No Ramira," Wajid said awkwardly, "We need to talk about our relationship. I don't think things are going to work out." This caused Ramira to get very angry.
"So we are on a break now?!" She yelled, "It's because I'm boring and ugly isn't it!"
"You are always like this!" Wajid shouted back.
"Oh! Well then just call it quits Wajid!" Screamed Ramira, on the verge of tears, "Take this!" She then slapped him and stormed out of the room.
Wajid sat down in his desk again, things couldn't have gone worse. It had been a very bad day for Wajid so far. He looked over to where Ethilinda sat in Potions and sighed.
It's not fair
It's not fair
I didn't know,
I wasn't there
It's not fair
It's not fair
Not seeing you sitting there
I wasn't strong enough
To save you from the evil stuff
I wasn't sly like you
To do what you would do
I know I'm not a leading man
I know I'm not a star
But I know what makes me special
Is what I feel in my heart
I'm just a sidekick
But I love being at your side
I've been in the shadows for far too long
But I'm the leading man of this song
I was a stupid dofus,
But now that's gone
I'm ready for a change,
Gonna keep calm and carry on!
I know I'm not a pretty boy
But I'm a man
I'll find a way to save you baby
Yes I can
Don't confuse the way I was
With the way I am
I'm ready for a change
Gonna take a stand!
I'm just a side kick
Oh yes I'm just a sidekick
Oh yeah I'm just a sidekick
But I love being at your side!
I'm always forgotten,
Always come in second place.
I'll never be a front man
No one can remember my face.
If I was in a dinner
I would surely be the less prominent taste
But when I think about how I feel for you
And the love I have inside
I forget all about all the things I'm not
And my heart swells up in pride!
Am I the strongest?
No I'm not.
Am I the smartest?
No I'm not.
Am I the hottest?
Not I'm not.
But am I the greatest?
No I'm not!
Am I the hero?
No I'm not.
Am I the one who steals the show?
No I'm not.
Am I the one that you should know?
No I'm not.
But am I the one who takes you home?
Definitely not!
Am I the chosen one?
No I'm not.
Am I the prodigal son?
No I'm not.
Am I almost done?
No I'm not.
But I'm the one who's gonna love you with
All of his heart because
That's what I've got!
I'm the one who's gonna love you with
All of his heart because
That's what I've got!
I'm not a great athlete
I'm not good at art
And I know my brain is not my most impressive part
My wand can barely work
And my car won't start
But I know what makes me special is what I feel in my heart!
I'm just a sidekick
Oh yes I'm just a sidekick
Oh yeah I'm just a sidekick
But I love
I love
I loooooooooove
Being at your side!
"I will FIND you Ethilinda, I promise." Wajid said to the empty classroom and walked out to go seek advice from someone he trusted greatly.
Hagrid.
