Chapter: I believe in a thing called love

A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys! This song is I believe in a thing called love by the Darkness. It is one of my favorite songs. Shauna and T-Rose requested this song so here it is. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Months had passed since Jaden had asked Jae to the Winter Ball. Nick counted down to the final day, it was close but not close enough. Nick sat in transfiguration hoping for a miracle when a beautiful black girl walked up.

"Excuse me, Nick."

Nick looked up. "Hey Shauna, what's up?"

"Nick, are you planning on going to the winter ball?"

Shauna's cheeks began to blush.

"I want to, but I don't have a date."

Nick tapped his quill against his ink well.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go with me."

Nick smiled. "Yeah, sounds like fun. I will go with you?"

Shauna took a sigh of relief. "Oh good. Then I guess I will see you later."

"Yeah."

Shauna walked away and Nick turned back to his desk. "Where are Natalie and Van?"

On cue, Natalie and Van walked down the aisle to their desks. "Running Late? He raised an eyebrow at his identical sister.

"Yeah." She looked at Van who nodded.

They took their seats and Van leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Keep it a secret?"

Natalie nodded and he understood.

"Okay students open up your notes and your minds. It is time to take notes on transfiguration."

A few students groaned but pulled their parchment out anyway.

Nick sighed and opened his book bag.

-

"I have to go to practice early since I am a new member of the team." Natalie looked at Van.

"I need to get a head start on my transfiguration homework so I can enjoy going to Hogsmeade this weekend." Nick readjusted the thick book he held in his arms.

"I will see you at practice later Nat, I want to start this homework as well."

Natalie waved to them as the left in the other direction.

"I wonder why Kristine called me so early to practice."

She walked out of the main doors to the quidditch pitch.

Smoke billowed from the chimney of Hagrid's hut. Her parents used to tell stories of Hagrid. Strange thing was that Hagrid had left Hogwarts after Dumbledore died. No one lived there full time. There was the occasional guest but no one permanent.

"Never hurts to look." Trace of snowflakes littered the cold ground and crunched under Natalie's shoes. She tiptoed to make sure she didn't make a loud noise. She heard laughter from inside the shed. "There is someone in there." She found a clear window and quickly peered through it. Jaden threw another log into the fire, he was talking but what he was saying was muffled. Natalie looked to discover Amanda sitting on a chair nearby wrapping herself up in a blanket for warmth.

"Why are they alone?" Jaden leaned over and kissed Amanda. "Bloody Hell…" Natalie tiptoed and put her ear against it to listen.

"That should warm this old shack up."

Amanda giggled.

"Now, aren't you glad you skipped class to come here with me?"

"Yeah..."

"What's the matter?" Jaden's tone changed.

"It's just Jae. She is my best friend. What will she say about this?"

"She won't say anything because she won't know. I promise that she won't find out."

"Okay."

Natalie grew angry. "How could he cheat on her with her own friend?" She looked around and then looked back at the hut. "I must tell Jae." She turned to run but slipped and fell making a loud sound. Nat remained completely still. "Please, don't hear me." She slapped a hand over her mouth. "Idiot, don't talk!" She thought. She tried to get up silently but it was too late, Jaden had heard her.

"What are you doing around here Potter?"

Natalie looked at Jaden. "Why are you doing this to Jae."

"I asked you a question first Potter!"

"Don't call me Potter!"

"I will stop if you answer the simple question."

"I was going to practice."

"The reason I am here is to talk to Amanda, aren't I allowed to talk to her?"

Natalie didn't answer.

"Didn't think so. The quidditch pitch is over there by the way."

Natalie got to her feet.

"Don't toddle off just yet. Why don't you come inside, I made a fire."

"I am late to practice."

"They will survive without you." Jaden walked over and grabbed her arm.

"Let go of me!"

Jaden pulled her into the hut.

"Stop, let go."

He closed the door behind her. "Now stay awhile. I don't bite."

Natalie looked toward Amanda who would not look at her. She crossed her arms and watched the fire flicker. "I really must go to practice."

"Just a few more minutes." He tried to push her into a chair.

Natalie struggled. "Why are you doing this?"

"I am trying to make you love me."

Amanda laughed.

"But what about Jae?"

"My relationship with her is getting old. I am ready to move on." He pushed her back into her chair and trapped her in a lip lock, a long lasting lip lock. Natalie pushed him off of her. He grinned at her.

"What are you trying to pull?"

Jaden: Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel

My hearts in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel

Natalie rolled her eyes and Jaden caressed her cheek.

Jaden: Touching you

Touching me

Touching you

God you're touching me

Jaden ran his fingers through Natalie's hair and Natalie hit his hand away.

Jaden: I believe in a thing called love

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart

There's a chance we could make it now

We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down

I believe in a thing called love

Ooh!

Natalie pushed him away from her. "If he believes in love, then why does he cheat on Jae?" She thought. Jaden moved some of Amanda's hair behind her ear.

Jaden: I wanna kiss you every minute

Every hour

Every day

You got me in a spin

But everything is A. Ok!

Natalie tried to get out but Jaden beat her to the door. He put his hand on her arm and spun her back toward Amanda.

Jaden: Touching you

Touching me

Touching you

God you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart

There's a chance we could make it now

We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down

I believe in a thing called love

Ooh!

Natalie reached for her wand to find it missing. Jaden laughed and held it up. Natalie jumped up for it and he pulled it away and with his other arm he wrapped it around her waist.

Jaden: Touching you

Touching me

Touching you

God you're touching me

Natalie elbowed him in the stomach and he dropped her wand. She quickly grabbed it and ran for the door. She blasted it open with her wand and ran out. Jaden chased after her.

Jaden: I believe in a thing called love

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart

There's a chance we could make it now

We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down

Natalie turned and shot him backwards before running off. She was almost to the quidditch pitch but she could still hear Jaden.

Jaden: I believe in a thing called love

Ooh!
