Natalie Black /Chapter 21 /Strong and Powerful
(I don't own anything in this story accept for the plot, Natalie, and Chris. Sorry I forgot about this in the other chapters.)
Natalie only had one more day in New York. She was ok with that though. She did everything she wanted to do. She saw New Found Glory in concert. She was in Time Square to watch the ball drop on New Years Eve. Natalie did a lot of things that she can't do in London. She was happy that she did what she wanted to do. She didn't know how much longer she would be able to do them. Natalie was happy though. She talked to Harry and since then she felt like everything was perfect. For some reason she didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about not telling Harry. She knew that Harry has a huge future ahead of him. Plus she also knew that her child would be a major target for Voldemort if Harry knew about her. For some reason Natalie just had this feeling it would be a girl. Not like a feeling that she wanted it, but a feeling like it was definitely going to happen. She didn't know why but she just did.
Natalie sometimes worried what was going to happen after she had her baby. She had, both muggle and wizard, money because of what her parents left her. Let's just put it this way, she has more money than Madonna makes in 3 lifetimes. She wanted to finish school but she didn't know if she even had a choice. She was thinking about everything. Harry, school, her child, everything, every time she thought about all this at once it was like putting twenty things into a computer at once and then the computer crashes. But instead of Natalie crashing she thought about what Harry told her 'You are a strong and powerful witch. You can handle anything that comes your way. Remember that.' And Natalie did remember that. That was what kept her going everyday. Natalie was going back to Hogwarts tomorrow. She was so nervous. She didn't know why. Carleigh was the only one who even knew she was pregnant. She didn't even tell Chris. She just couldn't. When they got back to New York she would tell him. She had other issues to deal with right now. Like the fact that she had to stop loving Harry. If that is even possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Natalie was on her way to the Hogwarts Express right now. She finally realized the reason she was so nervous. Harry. This was the first time she'd seen him since New York. Natalie thought that she settled everything in New York but then she realized that she didn't. Were they talking? Were they avoiding each other? Were they friends? Too many questions. She and Chris sat in a compartment with Ginny. Harry walked past their compartment and said 'Hi Natalie.'
Natalie replied 'Hi Harry.' And they continued with what they were doing. Ginny and Chris both looked at each other.
Chris was the first to say something, 'What the hell was that?'
Natalie said 'Harry and I sorted out some things in New York. We aren't together but we are on speaking terms.'
Ginny said 'That must be why Harry was so happy over the holidays. He wasn't just moping around thinking about you. I mean he was thinking about you but he wasn't thinking about how to get you back. I mean he...er.. it was very complicated, what he was thinking.'
Chris said 'Whoa! Rewind when was Harry in New York and how come I didn't know?'
Natalie said 'He came a day after we did. He only stayed for like three or four days. And well I was afraid you would kill him. So I didn't tell you. I don't tell you everything, you know.'
Chris laughed 'Well now I might kill you for not telling me.' Natalie rolled her eyes and started reading a book. with her headphones on.
Chris said 'Something is bugging her and she isn't going to tell me what it is.'
Ginny said 'I know. A few weeks can't do that much to a person. It's fake. She is putting on an act. But I don't know what is bugging her. It isn't Harry though it is something else. Luna is an empath. I'll get her. Then maybe we could try to figure it out from there.' With that Ginny left and in a minute she was back with Luna. Luna entered the doorway of the compartment.
She said 'Ginny, Chris come out here for a minute.' They went with Luna into an empty compartment.
Ginny said 'So, could you read her?'
Luna said 'Definitely. She is worried, confused and more than anything, she is scared out of her mind. I have no idea what could do this to her.'
Chris said 'Natalie, scared? I should have known. That girl doesn't ever show fear. But what is she scared of?'
