Chapter 3

Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter!

The next day, Mrs. Pradhan pulled out a moldy boot. "Here's your portkey to the BBQ girls. Remember to stick with Manali!" (Omg I've been putting BQQ, sorry)

"Do we have to?" whined Nehal

Manali said, "I don't have to stick with you. I just have to make sure you don't get lost."

"Okay guys." said Nehal. "Let's go!"

Jackie, Nehal, Danielle, Heather and Manali gathered in a circle and touched the boot. In a second the portkey jerked them up. But since they weren't outside they blasted a hole in the ceiling as they floated up.

"Great more work for me." said Mrs. Pradhan.

The girls landed at the BBQ on the ground. They were all in miserable pain.

Heather said, "Ouchies."

Nehal said, "Ow. I think I hurt my back!"

Danielle said, "Okay who is touching my ass?"

Jackie said, "Oops…my bad sorry Danie."

"Get up girls!" hissed Manali. "You're representing the Pradhan family!"

"But I'm not a Pradhan!" said Heather

"Yeah but your are guests for this event!" Manali said while looking around to see if anyone was watching.

"Sorry." Said Heather, Danielle and Jackie

"Its okay." answered Nehal.

"Okay here comes Mr. Fudge. (LOL) Now act proper!"

"Hello Manali!" said Mr. Fudge

Manali smiled. "Oh hello Mr. Fudge my what a beautiful day it is to have a BBQ are you going to be making the food yourself?"

"Why yes I am Manali. But with some help from a little bit of magic." He winked at her.

Manali giggled, "Mr. Fudge I would like you to meet my sister Nehal and her friends, Danielle, Jackie and Heather."

"Hello." said Mr. Fudge as they each shook hands with him. "Well I must go now but it was nice meeting you all. Manali will you come with me, we need to discuss some issues on our agenda."

"Certainly Mr. Fudge I'll be there in a minute." Manali turned her attention to the girls. "Now you guys have to stay out of trouble. If you do something stupid my whole career will be destroyed!"

"What career?" joked Nehal

"That's not funny Nehal! There are a lot of important people here!" Manali walked off feeling angry, but then she turned around and said, "So Nehal what do want your career to be?"

"Well…" said Nehal. " I want to be a…"

But Danielle interrupted her. "Boys! Look Nehal!"

Nehal looked and saw Ian and Draco walking towards them.

Manali said, "Okay then…I'll just be going now."

Danielle ran over to Ian and hugged him. Ian ran his fingers through her hair. "Hey Danie!"

Jackie and Draco made eye contact but he looked down at his feet.

"Did you and Slimeball break up?" asked Nehal

"Whose Slimeball?" asked Jackie confused

"Uhh…never mind."

"Do I look okay?" said Jackie who sounded worried.

"Eww you look so ugly" said Heather sarcastically,

"Heather!"

"Don't worry girl you looks fine… now go talk to him!" Heather and Nehal pushed Jackie forward

Jackie walked up to Draco. "Hi Draco, how is your summer been?"

"Good."

"How come you didn't owl me?"

"Howcomeyoudidn'ttellmeyouwerehalf?" mumbled Draco

"Say what?"

"How come you didn't tell me you were a half – blood?"

Jackie paused. "Oh…I thought that wouldn't matter to you."

"Well it matters to my father! He doesn't want me seeing you any more!"

"And you're going to listen to your father to tell you who to date and stuff?"

"I have to. That's just the way it is. In addition to that, my father says I should go out with Amanda?"

There was silence.

"Fine be like that Draco!"

"Be like what?"

"A Slimeball!"

Jackie slapped Draco and walked away. "Come on gurlios!" She dragged Heather and Nehal away from the scene.

Nehal looked at Draco then at Jackie. "Wow Jaxs I never knew you had it in you to slap him like that!"

"Well I did!"

Draco rubbed his cheek. "Slimeball…where have I heard that name before?"

"Jackie what did you say to Sli-Draco?" said Heather

"I called him a…" Jackie gulped. "Slimeball!"

Nehal turned around until she was facing Jackie, "Wow Jackie! I think I'm a bad influence on you!"

"Well he is! His father disapproves of me because I'm half –blood so he won't let Draco go out with me…and Draco is just letting his father take over his love life!"

"Slimeball." muttered Nehal.

"I know and Mr. Malfoy wants Draco to go out with Amanda!"

"Oh no! Not Amanda!" gasped Heather sarcastically

Nehal said, "Shut up, this is serious."

"I hate him." said Jackie quietly

"No you don't and I bet he doesn't either!" said Heather

"But then why is he doing what his father tells him? I thought he…liked me!" said Jackie

"You'll just have to talk to him when his father isn't around." suggested Nehal

"Darn tootin'!" agreed Heather

"What's wrong with Malfoy?" asked Danielle

"Oh he's just upset about the whole Jackie thing!" said Ian

Danielle looked at Ian. "What Jackie thing?"

"Well his father won't let him go out with her, just because she's a half-blood!"

"Omg that's so stupid! I know that Jackie is a half-blood but she's such a great friend to me and I hate it when she's sad or upset."

Ian sighed, "I know you do sweetie but there's nothing we can do."

"Yeah I guess your right."

Heather, Nehal and Jackie were walking along when someone yelled out Heather's name. Heather turned around and saw that it was her friend Tommy from Germany, and some other guy beside him.

"Tommy?" said Heather. "What are you doing here all the way in England?"

"Dropping by to see you!" said Tommy. There was silence until he came back to his senses. "What are you doing here in England?"

"I go to school here. I'm an exchange student at Hogwarts."

"You go to Hogwarts?"

"Yeppers."

"Hey I'm going to be there too."

"Coolios, wass up?"

"Marcus went to University!" said Tommy

"Really? Cool! Hey, wasn't he DJing with his friends in the summer?"

"Yes. How's your brother – thingies?"

"Er…my brother is good and I don't know about my cousin because there my cousins!" Heather then looked at the guy beside Tommy who she was ignoring. "Hi! Who are you?"

"Steven is my name, Texas is my game. I'm a cowboy!"

"Hi, I'm Heather and I'm not a cowboy!"

Jackie walked away feeling sad while Nehal was staring at Steven.

"Hi, I'm Nehal." She said elbowing Heather out of the way.

"Ow!" said Heather. "Nehal you're over Dean?"

"Dean is shagging with every person he can find! Including guys probably. I have a feeling this guy is different!"

"Howdy y'all!" Steven started singing.

Shoo fly don't bother me! Shoo fly don't bother me! Shoo fly, for I belong to somebody!

With that he kissed Nehal's hand.

Nehal said trying to be polite, "Charmed. So what school do you go to?"

"Scarlet Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

"Oh cool…I've never heard of it."

"It's in Texas!"

"Right…"

"I'm so excited for school this year!"

Nehal's jaw dropped. "You are!" She then thought. "Omg he seems like a complete dork!"

"Yeah I'm Quidditch captain this year!"

"Omg me too!" said Nehal out loud. She thought again, "Okay so he's not a complete dork!" She looked at Steven. "What position do you play?"

"Chaser!"

"Omg me too!" exclaimed Nehal. She thought, "Wow we have so much in common and he's cute!"

"What broomstick do you have?" asked Nehal

"Rocket 100 you?"

"Dirt Devil." (Ahaha that's a name of a vacuum cleaner)

"Wow! That's like the best! You rock!"

"Thanks."

Jackie was leaning sadly against a tree when she suddenly saw Draco back up towards her. "Draco!" She said quietly, but he didn't hear her.

Amanda walked up and put her arms around Draco and started kissing him.

"Ott, get off me bitch!"

"Come on Draco, we're going out now." said Amanda

"We're pretending. We only have to do this when my father is watching!"

"Come on Draco! I know you like me!"

"No I don't!"

"Yes you do…"

"No I like Jackie!"

Amanda walked off angrily.

Jackie's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't sure what to do with Draco just standing there. She was stunned with what Draco had just said. Suddenly, Draco went to talk with his father.

Draco said, "Hello father."

"Hello son." said Mr. Malfoy

"I really hope you reconsider about Jackie!"

"That half-blood? Certainly not!"

"Jackie is worth all the gold in Gringotts father!"

"Look at you getting all sentimental and weak over a half-blood! I will never give you my permission to date her!"

"Then I'll just have to date her, without your permission!" said Draco fiercely, going to find Jackie, but little did he know that she was right behind him.

After about 5 minutes Jackie finally sunk in all the information that Draco said about her.

"Eeeeeeeeeeee he likes me!" squealed Jackie with delight. She started dancing around until she bumped into someone.

"Sorry!" apologized Jackie. Then she slowly turned around and recognized the person she bumped into. It was Hermione! She was wearing a tube top that said sexy and booty shorts, with her thong being exposed.

"Mione, gurl what did you do to yourself?"

"Er…nothing."

"Gurl you look like Christina Aguilera!"

"Anyway…who likes you?"

"You're Mama!"

"My Mama doesn't love you she loves me! She says the only reason why kids are mean to me is because their jealous!" Hermione walked off in an angry fit.

"Okay then." Jackie then continued singing her song.

Meanwhile Danielle and Ian were walking around holding hands.

"So how was your summer?" asked Danielle

Ian replied, "Bloody boring. I missed you. Do you want to spend the rest of the summer at my house?"

Danielle laughed. "I would love to but I'm already spending it at Nehal's!"

"You guys stick together a lot!"

"Yeah we do! We're all really good friends. What about you? Aren't you and Malfoy really good friends?"

"Malfoy and I? You gotta be kidding me."

Danielle gave Ian a questioning look.

Ian said, "Well in Slytherin we don't really get close with our friends. Having friends is more like having allies. We only have friends if they can be useful or to not look like a loser. I like Malfoy and everything but we're not that tight."

"Okay then." said Danielle. "What about Crabble and Goyle?"

"There just two big idiots, Malfoy uses them as bodyguards!"

"Well that's not very nice." remarked Danielle

"Well they are! Anyway…we are excited about creaming you guys at Quidditch!" said Ian.

"No way! You don't stand a chance!"

"Yes we do with Malfoy as our captain. Plus, he has someone to back him up. Me! Because I'm chaser!"

"How? When?" Danielle was speechless.

"Malfoy pulled some strings."

"Oh Ian! Now Nehal has to hate you too!" Danielle said dismayed

"She hates Malfoy?"

"Duh! She's hated him ever since he told Jackie that she should get a nose job!"

"Oh I remember that. And she kicked him in the balls!"

Danielle laughed. "Oh yeah, good times."

Finally the food was ready. Everyone gathered around the table and got their food. Danielle and Ian decided to get their food and then go off so they could be alone.

Nehal whispered to Heather, "Hey Hey, where is Danie and Jaxs?"

Heather answered, "Danielle's with Ian but I don't know where Jackie is. She just kind of took off."

"Does have anything to do with Malfoy?" asked Nehal

"Eeeeeee he likes me!" said Jackie and bumped into Nehal and Heather. "Oh hey guys!"

"Who likes you?" asked Nehal

"He does!" exclaimed Jackie

"Really?" said Heather. "Wensleygale!"

Nehal started at Heather for a second. "Anyways…who's he?"

"Malfoy you dumb asses!"

Heather said, "Wowzers. But what about the things Malfoy said?"

"It was all an act!" said Jackie

"Sure…" Nehal and Heather said.

"I'm serious!"

"Okay prove it." Said Nehal

"Okay!" said Jackie and she turned around to find Mr. Malfoy standing behind her. "Excuse me sir, I need to get by!"

"Is that true?"

"No! Umm…it's April the 1st! Ahaha bye!"

"Excuse me young lady. I haven't finished talking to you!" said Mr. Malfoy disgusted. He knew that he was talking to Jackie and he defiantly didn't like her.

"Umm…" Jackie started to get impatient. "Okay what do you want freako?"

"I am Draco Malfoy's father." Mr. Malfoy said proudly

Heather and Nehal's jaws dropped and they both looked at each other.

"Aww…shit!" Jackie smacked herself on the side of her head. "Hey that hurt." She made a sad face.

Mr. Malfoy smirked. "Hmm…you really are a half-blood! I cannot believe my son sucks face with you!"

"Jackie you kissed Draco?" Nehal asked surprised.

"I don't kiss and tell!" Jackie winked at Nehal.

Mr. Malfoy said, "I can't believe my son danced with you at the Yule ball. I thought he would escort a proper young lady!"

Jackie glared at Mr. Malfoy.

"That's it! Nobody talks to my friend like that and gets away with it!" yelled Heather. "Let me at him! Let me at him!"

"No Heather!" Nehal said trying to hold her back. "You could get in big trouble for trying to attack him!"

"Well your friends are idiots too!" Mr. Malfoy said amused.

"That's it!" Nehal gritted through her teeth. She immediately ran for Lucius Malfoy and rammed into him full force.

"Oh no!" Jackie smacked herself in the head again. "Ow, why do I keep doing that?"

Just then Manali walked by. She saw Nehal and ran for her, "What are you doing? You're ruining my career." She tried to pull her younger sister off.

"Hold on Nehal I'm coming!" Heather ran and jumped on Manali.

Danielle, Ian and Malfoy heard what was going on and went to see what all the commotion was about. They all stopped dead in their tracks.

"I do not know them." said Danielle. She was about to turn away when she heard Heather scream. "Hold on Heather I'm coming! Danielle ran for the heap on the ground.

"Wait! Baby what are you doing? You're going to hurt yourself." Ian said as he ran after Danielle.

Meanwhile Draco saw Jackie standing still with her hand covering her mouth and he walked over to her.

Draco said, "Well guess you met my father, huh?"

Jackie turned to face Draco with her hands on her hips. "Not amusing."

"Somebody get these idiots off me!" yelled Mr. Malfoy

"Somebody better watch their hands!" said Heather

"Danielle are you okay?" asked Ian

"I'm fine!" Danielle said frustrated

Mr. Fudge then walked over. "What is all this?" He then pulled out his wand. "Kibbles N' Bits, Hi-Ya!"

Everyone then flew in different directions. "Ow! Ouchies! Wowzers! Mmm…hamburgers!"

Jackie said, "Now if you'll excuse me I have to go and help my friends!"

"It's their entire fault!" said Draco

"Excuse me?" said Jackie. "If your father had not used such shrewd words this would have never had happened!"

"Where's Amanda?" said Draco changing the subject

"Up your buttcrack!" said the voice

Jackie smiled. "Omg I haven't heard that voice in such a long time. Anyways I thought you liked me?"

"Well not when you're like this."

"Well I don't like you when you're a…" Jackie was about to say jackass but changed her mind instead. "Slimeball!"

"Maybe you could use a nose job after all!"

Jackie gasped. "You did not just say that!"

Draco smirked.

"You know what Draco? I don't like the things that you hide from me and all the shit that you do!" Jackie walked off and met up with her friends.

Nehal said, "Guys! We're in some deep shit right now!"

"Why?" asked Heather, clueless to what had just happened.

"We beat up Mr. Malfoy." answered Nehal. "And damn it felt might good!"

"Darn tootin!" said Heather

The girls laughed until a voice behind them said, "What are you laughing about?"

The girls slowly turned around and saw that it was Manali!

"Hi Manali!" they said nervously.

"I hope you're happy of what you've done! I don't even know if I can show my face at work again."

"Manali we're really sorry." said Nehal thinking that she would never say sorry and actually mean it.

"You better be because I'm going home alone!"

The girls looked at each other.

"Wait!" yelled Nehal, chasing after her.

Manali said, "No buts, ifs, and ands!"

Nehal said, "I didn't say any of those."

"You get the point, now scram!"

"But, but…the portkey!" Nehal said desperately.

"Find some other way!"
