The entire Weasley family including Hermione and Nicole woke up extremely early on Sunday. It seemed like everyone had something to do. Bill, Charlie, the twins, and Mrs. Weasley were heading toward Diagon Alley, Mr.Weasley and Percy were heading toward the Ministry. Ginny and Hermione were going shopping in London for the dance that night.
Ron was busy doing some last minute homework, which Hermione scolded him for. Nicole was bored so she decided to go for a walk, somehow she ended up walking around Privet Drive, how she got there, who know's.typical! Hey its me...
That day, she held her hair into a straight pony tail, she was wearing a lilac colored halter top, with a short silk lilac colored skirt and some sandals.
She was passing by #4 Privet Drive in which she caught the eye of this handsome tall black haired guy, with the most amazing green eyes she had ever seen. He stopped mowing the lawn to stare at her. She also stopped in mid-step to stare at him. They just stared at each other. They were rudely interrupted by big fat guy who stepped in front of her.
"Oh um excuse me" she said sweetly.
"No, you are not excused you are beautiful I want you, would you-no you WILL go out with me" said the boy grabbing Nicole's arms.
"Excuse me but who are you to grab me like that you pathetic bastard"said Nicole struggling to get out of his grasp.
"Dudley let her go"said the black haired boy to the big fat bastard.
"This is none of your business, go on and finish your chores or I'll tell mum not to give you any dinner"
"I said let her go"he said punching Dudley in the face instantly letting go of Nicole. He kept punching Dudley until he was knocked out.
"I apologize if my cousin here hurt you"he said looking up at Nicole and starring straight into her eyes, in which they were both lost in each other's gaze for a long time. Nicole spoke first.
"So um" she coughed clearing her throat, "he's your cousin hard to um believe you two are related"
They boy laughed, "I'm Harry, you are" he said extending out his hand.
"Nicole"she said shaking his hand, giving him a brilliant smile, which made him blush.
"Listen I'm going dancing with my cousins tonight to this club in London, so um you think you can come with me?"she asked, he blushed and mumbled a yes.
"What club is it?"he asked shyly
"Dance dot com"she said.
A scream from behind them rang in their ears.
"What have you done to my Dudley Dinkins"said a scary looking woman running out of the house that Harry was mowing the lawn from.
She leaned down next to Dudley's body and started sobbing.
"Mummy, oh mummy"Dudley groaned
"Yes pumpkin, mummy's here" said Mrs. Dursley . Dudley got up and started to walk to the house when he spotted Harry holding Nicole's hand. He ran over to Harry and tackled him. Mrs. Dursley started screaming hysterically. Soon Mr. Dursley came thumping out of the house demanding why he was woken up by Mrs. Dursley's screams especially on a Sunday, when he saw Harry punching Dudley.
He ran over to Harry and grabbed him by the neck. He was strangling him.
Harry was taking out his wand, when from behind his uncle someone yelled,
"Petrificus totalus"
Mr. Dursley was as still as a statue, he dropped Harry with a great âEthud'.
Once again Mrs. Dursley was screaming her head of.
Harry looked over to Nicole who looked as confused and bewildered as he did. For she was holding a wand, like he was, and it was she who muttered the spell.
"You're a witch"
"You're a wizard" they both said at the same time.
They just stared in to each other's eyes, twinkling, glistening. Both feeling a feeling they have never felt before. The feeling of love.
"So um what brings you here?"he asked.
"Well you know a little sight seeing you know here and there"she said moving a little closer to him.
"Well um of course sure, so um do you go to any school, I.. I mean a wizarding school of course" he said blushing.
"Oh no I don't"she said once again stepping a little closer to him.
Harry felt like if he was glued to the spot because he couldn't move at all.
What's wrong with me, he thought, not even Cho makes me feel like this.
"So how do you know magic then"he said
"Well my friend and I are home schooled by our grandpa, we'll he's not really our grandpa its just that he raised us our whole lives so we just call him that, he's the headmaster of this school"she told him.
"Oh"
"So um why do you put up with these people?"she asked
"Oh they're my only living relatives that I have, and the headmaster at my school thinks it's best that I stay with them, but he said that this might be my last year"he told her
Nicole kept on moving closer to him till they were face to face.
"I'm sure it was for the best" she whispered in his ear. He slowly nodded.
She closed her eyes, he closed his eyes, he leaned down toward her, was about to kiss her when, someone pulled Nicole's hair dragging her back from Harry.
"Aunt Marge"Harry exclaimed.
"You shut your trap"she snapped at Harry, "and you"she said pointing at Nicole, "how much did he pay you"she snapped.
"Pay me for what?"she said.
"You horrible little slut, you know what I mean, and you how does Vernon but up with you where are they where is Vernon" she roared.
"They're in the kitchen and I did not pay her she's no slut you rude obnoxious old brute she's an old friend of mine"
"That's enough Harry Potter?"
"Harry Potter?"asked Nicole
"Yes" Harry said meekly covering his scar with his bangs.
"Harry Potter, oh no I... I.. Have to go"she said straining to fight back tears, and running as fast as she can.
Instead of going to the burrow, she went to Dumbledore's home.
"Grandpa" she yelled, no answer.
She ran up stairs to her room, threw herself on her bed and broke in to sobs.
"Nikki? What's wrong honey? questioned Dominique she had heard her sob next door.
"I...I ... betrayed myself Dominique, I betrayed my parents" she sobbed in Dominique's arms.
"What, tell me what happened"
Nicole told her about what happened that afternoon. After she finished Dominique looked extremely puzzled.
"Okay I don't get it"said Dominique, "you betrayed your parents because you think you're in love with Harry Potter? Sorry girl but I'm lost"
"Don't you see I'm supposed to hate Harry not âElove' him, I mean it's because of him that I don't have my parents, because of him YOU don't have your parents"Nicole sobbed.
"Nicole girl, you can't blame him for our parent's death, I mean he was a baby just like us. Don't torture yourself"said Dominique soothingly.
"But I feel like he is the one to blame"said Nicole stupidly.
Dominique giggled, " not him, if there's anyone to blame it's Voldemort"
"Yeah you're right I was talking stupid"Nicole said wiping tears out of her eyes.
"Yes I know, that's why God sent me to save you of your stupidity"
"Gee thanks"said Nicole sarcastically. Then they both burst out laughing.
"So I think you should go back to your aunt she must be worried"said Dominique.
Nicole went back to the Burrow, that evening, dinner was a splendid affair. Everyone had spaghetti and meatballs, except for Ron who had a huge plate full of ham sandwiches.
(In honor of Rupert Grint)
Soon everyone went to âEsleep'. About one hour later, around 11:30p.m., Nicole crept out of her room and sneaked inside her aunt's bedroom to make sure they were asleep. No matter how hard Charlie had tried he couldn't get his mum to change her mind about letting the kids go out and dance.
They were both sound asleep. She went back to her room and announced to both girls that they were both asleep. Hermione ran to the bathroom to get ready. Ginny changed right then and there.
Nicole in a bath robe went and knocked on Ron's room.
"Who is it?"he groaned
"Ron they're asleep can I come in?"she asked.
"Sure"he opened the door.
Both twins had put gel on their hair, which made it spiky. Fred was wearing a blue shirt that said âEbillabong' on it with some khaki pants and some Tim's. George had a white under shirt and on top a button up white shirt, with a pair of baggy jeans, and some Tim's.
Ron was wearing a pair of baggy jeans, with a black button up shirt which was open to reveal his white under shirt.
"Boy, you've been working out, those abs were not here when I came last summer"Nicole told Ron. He just blushed.
"So what are you wearing Nicole?"asked Fred while putting on some cologne.
"This"she said taking out her bath robe. As it dropped to the floor. She revealed a black leather one strap shirt, matching with some low-cut leather pants. With some black leather boots. She had used a black bandana as a head band, and her red curls reached her waist.
Seeing the awed looks on their face, she smiled, "I better get the girls then meet you down stairs in ten minutes"she said leaving the room.
She went in to Ginny's room, "come on girls we have to go"she said signaling them to follow her.
They tip- toed down stairs, met the guys and left out the back door. Home free. It was to dark to see what Ginny and Hermione were wearing.
Nicole was embarrassed to face Harry. But she'll do it.
They arrived at the club. When they were inside they were not prepared to see Hermione.
She was wearing a short one-strap red leather dress with glitter, and some very high red high heels.. She held hair in a straight pony tail, and had put glitter all over her neck.
"Hermione you look er great"said Nicole
"Thank you so do you" Nicole couldn't help it she started snickering behind her back.
"So Ron how do I honestly look?"she asked
"You said to be honest so I am... you look like a scarlet women." The twins started cracking up.
Hermione was no longer in Nicole's mind. She was busy looking for Harry. Ginny found a friend from school and was talking to him. She had to admit Ginny looked stunning, her red hair were in wild curls, she was wearing some low cut jeans, up-towns and a white halter top.
She was scanning the room, where she saw him. He was talking to a pretty black haired girl. She approached him, she was right behind him when she turned around and bumped right in to Oliver.
"Oliver!"she exclaimed, "what a surprise to find you here"
"Nicole, nice to see you again", by this time Harry had turned around and spotted Nicole. He smiled at her. She smiled back.
The black haired girl, spotted Oliver,
"Oliver, how are you I heard you were coming to Hogwarts to teach"she said.
"Cho, Harry what a pleasant surprise, I want you to meet a friend of mine, this is Nicole, Nicole this is Harry and Cho"
"We already met"said Harry staring deep in her eyes. She felt weird. Her stomach started squirming and she knew they weren't because of nerves.
"Yes we have"she giggled. Ron spotted Harry.
"Harry!"he yelled
"Ron"
"I see you already met Nicole"
"You know her?"
"Yeah of course she's my cousin"
"She is, really"Harry smiled thinking pretty soon we might be related.
"So Harry you want to dance I mean I did invite you didn't I"Nicole cut in.
They started dancing to âEGive it to her'. (reggae)
"Why did you act the way you did, when you found out my name was Harry Potter"he asked
"I dunno I'm stupid like that"she answered truthfully.
"Oh"
When the song finished they joined their friends in a table.
"I can't wait to see you teach" Cho told Oliver, "maybe you can give the Ravenclaw team some pointers"
"I won't be by myself, Nicole's helping me"Oliver said.
"What isn't she a bit young to be teaching"said Cho uncertainly
"It's true, my grandpa Dumbledore, don't ask long story, said that my friend Dominique and I could assist in some of the classes at Hogwarts, since we are both in a sixth year level it's all right, and for sixth year we will be attending the school as he can't be teaching us and then going back to Hogwarts, you know back and forth"
"Once again, if it weren't for Nicole I would always think that teachers lived at school, I'd never think they actually had a life"said Ron. Everyone laughed.
It was two thirty in the morning when Nicole announced it was time to go.
Everyone was saying there goodbye's and how they would be seeing each other later. Harry took Nicole by the hand and led her outside.
"Harry what is it?"she spoke softly.
"I can't keep it under cover anymore Nicole I'm sorry but if I don't feel your soft lips kissing mine I'll never survive the train ride tomorrow"
"How do I know your lips are soft?"she asked teasingly.
"Only one way to find out"
He
leaned down and kissed her. Both had received their first
kiss.
