A/N: Well this chapter is dedicated to my good friend Chris since he is obsessed with Gwen Stefani. Thanks T-Rose for my only review. :Tear: No I am j/k I don't mind. Hopefully you like this chapter!
"Natalie…Natalie…Can you hear me? Natalie." Van leaned over her as Nick held her hand.
"Ow my head." Was the first words that passed her lips.
Nick and Van smiled.
Natalie opened her eyes and looked at both of them. "Where am I?"
"The hospital wing." Nick answered.
"Why am I here?"
"You don't remember?" Van helped her sit up.
"No, I don't remember a thing. I just remember chasing the snitch." Nat's eyes widened. "Oh no, how did the game go? Did we win?"
Van nodded.
"So you don't remember anything?" Nick crossed his arms.
"Tell me, what happened."
"Okay, you were chasing the snitch and were getting really close when I noticed Jerome, the Slytherin beater, right behind you. I began to yell your name, yet you were really focused on the snitch and didn't hear me."
"Why was he following me?"
"I am getting there." Van sat back in his chair and folded his arms as well. "Right as you were about to touch the snitch the slimeball Jerome hit a bludger toward you which hit you in the back of the head. You were instantly knocked out and lunged forward. Luckily you were so close to the snitch that when you flew forward you grabbed it and fell on top of it. So you did catch it and won the game, even though you did it subconsciously."
I seriously caught the snitch!" Natalie smiled.
"Yup. You won the game for us."
The celebration was cut short for Nat though. "Oh wait that means Jaden is going to tell everyone that stupid lie."
"…He already did." Nick didn't look at Natalie, instead he watched another patient stir in their sleep. He knew how mush his sister didn't want to hear those words.
Natalie's face fell. "He did?"
"Right after the game he told Jae." Van looked at her sympathetically. "We tried to stop him but nobody would listen to us. Jae looked pretty mad."
Nick cringed as he heard her cry.
"Jae's mad at me now." She wiped a tear away. "I don't want to leave this bed. I hate Jaden!"
"There must be something you can do." Van looked at Nick.
"The best thing to do is act like it doesn't affect you because if you do, people will stop talking, thinking it is a lost cause." Nick rubbed his sister's hand trying to comfort her.
"He has a point there Natalie." Van smiled.
"How did you get so smart?" Natalie smiled as she wiped her tears.
"Comes with the territory I guess."
Van and Natalie laughed.
"What?" Nick looked at them puzzled.
-
Natalie left the hospital wing the next day. She walked in to potions and saw Van and Nick waiting for her.
"Have you heard more talk recently?"
Nick shook his head.
"Students take your seats."
Natalie quickly sat down in her seat which was next to Jae. She turned to Jae but Jae wouldn't look at her.
"Today you will make potions independently. Instructions are on the board, begin."
"Natalie can I borrow a quill?" Nick asked.
"Sure." Nick smiled and Nat grabbed her stuff. Natalie put her bag on the table and grabbed a quill. "Here." As she was turned around Jae knocked her bag off her desk.
"Oops, clumsy me." Jae grinned evilly. Half the class laughed.
"It's alright, I don't think you're clumsy." Natalie gathered everything back into her bag.
"Please be careful with you belongings Mrs. Potter."
Natalie looked at her brother who shrugged. Natalie ignored it and began to work on her potion. She followed the instructions perfectly. "Now I need to cut up that root and I am done." She put on her gloves and began to carefully cut up the root. While she wasn't looking Jae dropped some of her extra ingredients into her cauldron. Instead of a sky blue color it was a royal blue color now.
Jae laughed silently before turning back to her own.
"Natalie dropped in the root and then noticed the wrong color. "What happened?"
"Oh no, I think I just put some of my ingredients in your cauldron instead of mine." She smirked.
"That's alright." She got out her tube and put the liquid inside. She walked up to the front desk to turn it in.
Nick and Van looked at each other.
Natalie walked back and cleared her potion before sitting down.
"Turn in your potions."
Class was over so Natalie left and waited outside for her brother and Van.
Jaden came up behind her. "See what happens when you don't listen to me." Natalie spun around and smiled.
Natalie: Uh, huh this my shit
All the girls stomp your feet like this
A few times I've been around that track
So its not just gonna happen like that
'cause I ain't no hollaback girl
Jae walked over to see what the commotion was about. Jaden put an arm around her waist.
Natalie: Oooh oooh this my shit
This my shit
I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that
Getting everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack
Gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown
Gonna take you out
That's right
Put your pompoms down
Getting everybody fired up
Jae looked offended. Jaden shook his head. Nick and Van stood behind her to back her up.
Natalie: A few times I've been around that track
So its not just gonna happen like that
'cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
Oooh oooh this my shit
This my shit
Amanda stood next to Natalie as well.
"Amanda, get over here. We don't associate with boyfriend stealers."
Amanda looked at Natalie then back at Jae. "No, I am staying right here. Natalie did nothing wrong."
Jae's mouth hung open in shock.
Amanda folded her arms.
Natalie: So that's right dude
Meet me at the bleachers
No principals
No student teachers
All the boys want to be the winner
But there can only be one
So I'm gonna fight
Gonna give you my all
Gonna make you fall
Gonna sock it to you
That's right I'm the last one standing
Another one bites the dust
Natalie moved some hair from her eyes and smiled. She looked back at Van who gave her the thumbs up. She wasn't sure where she was going with this song but it was making her feel better by singing it.
Natalie: A few times I've been around that track
So its not just gonna happen like that
'cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
Oooh oooh this my shit
This my shit
Jae pulled Jaden's arm and they left the room. "She has no idea what she is up against."
Jaden just laughed then turned to see Natalie smiling at Van. He shook his head and continued walking.
Natalie and Amanda: A few times I've been around that track

'cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
Oooh oooh this my shit
