Natalie Black /Chapter 20 /Goodbye
It was December 20th and it wasn't a good day for Natalie. She had just got the call from her doctor's office that she is definitely pregnant. She had no idea what she was going to tell Harry...or anyone else for that matter. She knew she was only about two weeks pregnant. She knew that she could finish the semester at Hogwarts without anyone knowing. But she didn't know what she was going to do after that. Natalie knew that she was going to have to tell Harry soon. She didn't want to but she had to. Natalie always knew what she was going to do when something bad happened. This time she had no idea what she was going to do. Natalie didn't want to admit it but, she needed Harry. Natalie went on her computer. She saw that Harry was on line. She decided to start IMing him. Their conversation went like this:
MagicGurl1228: Hey
TheBoyWhoLived: Hey Whats going on?
MagicGurl1228: I need to talk to you...in person
TheBoyWhoLived: ok give me the time and place and I'll be there.
MagicGurl1228: the place you saw me at last night, Caffeine Central. one hour.
TheBoyWhoLived: ok see you then
MagicGurl1228: ok bye
TheBoyWhoLived: bye
Natalie was nervous about telling Harry. She changed her outfit three times. She finally decided to wear an american flag t-shirt with jeans and her leather jacket with her black boots. She was so nervous that she was shaking. Natalie was more nervous than ever. Natalie suddenly started thinking the worst thoughts. What if he doesn't want anything to do with the baby? What if he just takes off? What if..What if? There were just too many what if's. Natalie needed to take heer mind off of this. she picked up her guitar and started playing. Playing the guitar was the only thing that helped her get her mind off of things, and that was exactly what she needed. Natalie soon started making lyrics to the chords she was playing on her guitar. Soon she had a whole song. She hadn't been able to make a song that wasn't so upbeat that it sounded like disco. She titled her song 'Worries'. Basically it was every worry that went through her mind. It ended up sounding like a mix of Evanescence and Three Days Grace. By the time she finished this song she had to leave to meet Harry.
She got there about a minute before Harry did. When he got there Natalie suddenly thought that she couldn't tell him. But she did have something that she could tell him though. Natalie said 'Hi Harry.' Harry replied 'Hi. So what was it you wanted to talk to me about?'
Natalie said 'I wanted to tell you that, I forgive you. But I don't want to be your girlfriend. And it isn't completely because I don't trust you. You see I am leaving Hogwarts at the end of the semester. It's not because of you, it was set up that way in the summer before I even met you. I am only going to be there another month. After that I am back in New York.' Harry finally understood everything...well almost.
But Harry said 'So you had this set up for a while. How come you never told me?' Natalie didn't waant to answer it but she had to.
She said 'I thought that we would break up before it was even November. Then I realized that I was in love with you.'
Harry said 'But you can't change it? You can't stay? Dumbledore would probably let you if you asked.'
'Harry, I know my grandfather would love for me to stay, but it isn't what I want. I want to stay here. Go to a muggle college, become a designer or a song writter or something like that. I don't want to stay in London. My real family is there. And I am not exactly the girl who is dying to find out more about her dysfunctional family.' Natalie said.
Harry said 'You're a very powerful and strong witch Natalie. You can handle anything that comes your way. Remember that.' '
I will. Now go. go back to London. It's where you belong. Where your family is.' Natalie said.
Harry said 'Natalie my family-'
Natalie said 'I'm not talking about blood Harry. People who care about you are in London. That's what makes them your family. The way Chris, Jon, and Carleigh are my family. Ron, Ginny, Hermione, they are your family. You have to get back to them now. Spend the holidays with your family. That's what the holidays are for. Goodbye Harry.'
Harry said 'Goodbye Natalie.'
