Natalie Black
Chapter 9
Guess Who?
It was December 4th and Natalie had a lot of homework to do. She was in the Gryffindor common room. Hermione was there. At this point Natalie knew that Hermione didn't like her. Natalie didn't feel like going to the library, so this was her only choice. She sat down and started her homework. After finishing half of it she started hearing Hermione's thoughts. Hermione was thinking-Why does she have to be here? I don't know what Harry sees in her. I hate her.- Natalie couldn't take it anymore after about 15 minutes. She finally said 'Hermione,why do you hate me?' Hermione said 'I don't hate you.' Natalie said 'Dislike, hate whatever. Either way you put it you don't like me and I want to know why.' Hermione said, lying 'I don't dislike you. I like you. You're a nice person. I'm glad you and Harry are together.' Natalie said 'You are a terrible liar Hermione. Oh and on top of that I can read people's minds once in a while, I don't choose when or anything it just happens. So why do you hate me, and tell the truth this time.' Hermione didn't say anything for a minute and then she said 'Because since you came all Harry does is talk about you. You knew him for less than a week and you got him to notice you the way I've been trying to get him to notice me for years. That's why I don't like you.' Natalie said 'So you think that I was trying to get Harry to notice me? Guess what? I didn't even plan on meeting Harry. When I did, I didn't try to get him to notice me. Yeah I liked him and yes I wanted him to notice me but I didn't want him to either. I didn't plan on falling in love with Harry. I didn't even plan on going to Hogwarts. But when I was offered to go to Hogwarts I decided to go. And since you are probably like everybody else you didn't listen to Dumbledore. His words were Natalie will be joining us for the semester. I will be gone in February. Harry will forget about me and then you can be with him. In less than two months I'll be gone, so get over it.' After that Natalie left the common room to go for a walk and clear her mind. As she was walking she was wishing that she was with her friend Chris in New York. She looked at ther watch. It was 4 in the afternoon. If she were in New York right now she and Chris would be meeting Jon and Carleigh at the pizza place. Part of her wished she never even came to London. If she could turn back time she knew she wouldn't make the same decision she had. If only she could turn back time, then she could change everything. But she couldn't. Natalie never thought she would regret the decision she made a year ago. Natalie didn't really obsess over things that happened in the past. But this was something she couldn't help but obsess over. She loved Harry but she knew that she would have to leave him. Whether she liked it or not. She would have to go back to New York. Part of her wanted to leave. The other part of her wanted to stay. But she knew it would be too painful for a lot of people if she stayed in London. And she couldn't tell Harry anything about this. Eventually she would have to tell him that she was leaving though. That was all she was going to tell him. She wished she could talk to Chris or Carleigh or Jon. She knew that the most that was going to happen was that she could e-mail them. Natalie wanted to tell Harry about her secret, but she couldn't. It would be too hard even though she might have to once she tells Harry she is leaving. Natalie couldn't think about Harry right now. All she could think about was New York. Then someone came up behind her. He said 'Guess who?' Natalie knew that voice. It belonged to someone American. Someone like 'CHRIS!!!!!' Natalie said shocked.
