Chapter: My Girl
A/N: This song is by the Temptations and is dedicated to The Crazy Eight. (My group of friends) Allison, Ingrid, Julia, Elina, Katie, Nichole, and Elise. (I am number 8). I love you guys! Anyway back to the story.
"Zimmerman, Andrew"
A scared boy with blond hair sat on the stool and the sorting hat was placed on his head.
"Hufflepuff!"
The Hufflepuff table erupted into cheers. Andrew smiled and ran to his new table.
"That ends our sorting ceremony. I would now like to announce that we will be having a winter ball this year, being that this is my last year as your headmaster." Professor McGonagall smiled sweetly as the students awed. "I took this position after Albus Dumbledore, the former headmaster, died suddenly 20 something years ago. I never thought I would be headmaster or be one for 20 years, nonetheless I have enjoyed the many years I have spent here at Hogwarts but I am now too old and I must retire. Since you have been the best students imaginable I have decided to throw you a winter ball as a thank you. It won't be held until the night before Christmas break. But I promise it will be a lot of fun." She paused for a moment to look upon her students. "There is no need stalling this meal any longer. Enjoy and have a happy new school year." She quickly sat down as the food appeared before them.
"Can you believe this, McGonagall's retiring!" Natalie looked at Van.
"It's a shame. I wonder who will replace her." Van bit into his chicken wing. Van had bright blue eyes that stared into Natalie's green ones. His eyes usually hid behind his long red hair. This could help him shield his eyes from Nick as he watched Natalie.
Nick shrugged. "Beats me."
A first year named Julia just so happened to be listening in. "I heard Harry Potter was taking over for McGonagall."
Nick, Natalie and Van all lunged forward choking on their food.
"What?" Julia asked. "Was it something I said?"
"Who told you Harry Potter was taking over?" Nick questioned the young girl.
"My dad, someone at work told him!" She looked nervous.
"Are you sure?" Natalie rubbed her throat.
"Yes…why does it bother you so much?" Julia raised one eyebrow.
"Harry Potter is our father!" Nick almost shouted at her.
"Wow, I didn't know that. Now I see the resemblance." Julia smiled widely.
"This is my tin sister Natalie." Quickly Natalie smiled. "This is our best friend Van Weasley." Van waved. "And my name is Nick. Sorry for shouting."
"No problem."
"We should write to dad." Natalie looked at Nick.
Nick nodded. "We can't send any post until tomorrow though."
"So, about this winter ball." Van looked at Natalie who wasn't looking at him.
"I want to ask Jae." Nick looked over at the Slytherin table.
"As usual." Natalie sighed.
"Who will you ask Nat?" Her blushing brother asked.
"I am not sure yet."
Jae left her table and walked over toward the Gryffindor table. "Hey Nat, I heard you made seeker for you house team. Congrats!"
"Yeah I did. Thanks." Natalie smiled.
Jae flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Do you want to hang in our dorm tonight?"
"Love too, what time?"
"7:30"
"Awesome, see you then."
Jae smiled and then walked back to her table.
"YOU MADE SEEKER!" Her brother shouted.
"Yeah calm down bro."
"When did you find out?" He held his jealousy in.
"My letter came yesterday at lunch."
"So that's why you left…"
"Congratulations. Kristine told me 2 weeks ago. Welcome to the team." Van smiled.
"Thanks Van."
Nick folded his arms.
"I'm sorry Nick, I didn't tell you because I knew you would get disappointed since you didn't make the team."
"Well, I will talk to you later about the times of practice but Nick and I have to go to the…library."
"Okay, cool." Nat wiped her mouth with her napkin.
Van pulled Nick by his collar up and they both left.
"Do we really have to go to the library?" Nick looked at his best friend.
"Nooo. I just had to get out of there. Uh, the girl I like…kept looking at me and I was beginning to get uncomfortable."
"Ohh…well I kinda wanted to stay for desert."
"We can go visit the elves later."
Van walked toward the staircases. "Nick, which classes do we have this year?"
Nick didn't respond.
"Nick…" Van turned around.
Jae, Nat and Amanda, their other friend, were walking down the hall.
"Nick, are you okay?"
Nick looked at Van. "I am more than okay."
Nick: I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
Van rolled his eyes.
Nick: I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My Girl
Van: My Girl, My Girl
Nick: Talkin' 'bout my girl
Van: My girl
Nick sat down on one of the steps and Van leaned against the railing. Physically Jae, Natalie and Amanda were gone but the thought of them were fresh in their minds.
Nick: I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
Nick stood up and held his arms out to the invisible Jae.
Nick: My Girl
Van: My Girl, My Girl
Nick: Talkin' 'bout my Girl
Van: My Girl
Van ran up some steps.
Nick: Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Oooh
Van: I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame
I've got all the riches baby
One man can claim
He slid down the banister to Nick.
Van: I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
Van winked at his best friend.
Van: My Girl
Nick: My Girl, My Girl
Van: Talkin' 'bout my girl
Nick: My Girl
Nick slid down the banister and then Van jumped on his again and they raced. They tried stopping the other but were too fast. Van flipped off the end. Nick did a flip as well.
Van: I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
Nick: With my Girl
Nick did a handstand and Van kicked him over. They then began to fight.
Van: I've even got the month of May
Nick: With my Girl.
A/N: Here is a response to the reviews. YAY!
LondonLegends: I am glad you like it. I am pretty happy with the song selections for this story. Later songs I am so happy I could fit in others I am not convinced on but hey it's still cool. My friends just have really interesting taste. LoL. Thanks for the review.
Tamar-shaki: I am glad you are feeling happy. I feel happy now as well! Thanks for the review.
Readingfreak742: T-ROSE! YAY! I am glad you like the songs. Your song is coming up soon. Thanks for the review.
Elenrod: I thought that was pretty clever as well. I wanted to see if they could guess from my obvious clues whose children they were. I am sorry you think chapter two was confusing. I didn't mean for it to be that way. I thought I had explained it but I guess it wasn't as clear as I thought. Some characters were introduced in part one so that might be part of the problem. For future reference:
Harryand Hermione-Nick and Natalie
Ron and Luna-Raven, Star, Van and Rose.
(Raven, Star are characters introduced in part one)
Ginny and Draco-Riley
(In part one they dated and Ginny conceived Riley out of wedlock. They later broke up)
Ginny and Oliver-Alexander
Draco and Cho-Jazmine
Both Star and Raven have boyfriends but they don't even have names so their parents are unimportant. Other characters are just other characters, nothing important about them. I didn't want to make too many characters that you had to remember.
The only characters you really need to know are Jae, Nick, Nat, Van, and Jaden (A character introduced in the next chapter).
Thanks for the review!
Look out for Chapter 4 next week! Catch ya later!
