Harry thought the festival was amazing - there was a ferris wheel that had blue and green lights surronding it, a hippogriff ride, a fun house, food stands, games, and even a music tent that had the Weird Sisters playing! Plus not only were his friends from Hogwarts there, a couple from Stagwid were there too.
"Harry look!" Ron said smiling and pointing over toward the fun house.
"Is that Hermonie?" Harry asked trying to figure out if it was his best friend.
"Harry! Ooh my gosh! I've missed you greatly!" she said giving him a huge hug.
"I've missed you to Monie'! You look wonderful"
"Aww thanks, you're not too shabby yourself!" She replied laughing at her 'nice' compliment. "So did you enjoy Stagwid?"
"Yea i guess - but i def. missed you guys" he said as somebody tapped his shoulder.
"Harry Potter right?" This mysterious girl asked him.
"Uhm yyyeeaaa...wait a second, Natalie?" he asked with a shocked face.
"Yep! How has your summer been going?"
"Its uhh - its been good. You look so different!" he said still in a state of shock.
"Haha i know. But thats what dying your hair from brown to blonde, and getting your braces off can do!" she replied laughing. "So Harry, who are you little friends?" she asked in a suductive voice.
"Ooh gosh, im sorry, these are my best friends Ron and Hermonie. You guys, this is Natalie..one of my friends from Stagwid.."
"Hmm..Ron huh? You're pretty cute.." she said winking at him and turning back around to talk to Harry. "So do you wanna go on the ferris wheel with me? PRUTTY PRUTTY PWEESE?"
"Uhm sure..if you guys dont mind.." Harry said turning around to Ron and Hermonie.
"No, you crazzy kids go right ahead.." Ron said shooing them off and holding Hermonie back.
"Yayy! C'mon Harry!" Natalie said taking his hand and walking away. "So those are the friends you told me so much about? They seem nice.." she said as she got onto the ferris wheel. .
"Yep." Harry said smiling and getting into the cart.
"Ooh gosh.." Natalie said with a frightful look as the ferris wheel started up.
"Whats wrong?"
"I'm uhh..I'm kind of afraid of heights.."
"Then why'd you ask me onto this thing?" Harry asked confused.
"Because i knew that i would'nt get to talk to you otherwise.." She said smiling and looking out the side of the cart. "Ooh wow..you can see everything from up here! I just wish it was a little lower..."
"Well dont think about how high it is..think about uhm..how beautiful the site is from up here."
"Well, it IS amazing, i can see everyone and everything! Theres Brad and Mark..thats who i came with, and isnt that your cute little friend Ron? I didnt know he liked that Hermonie girl.." She said as the ride ended and they got off.
"Neither did I.." Harry said in a soft tone of betrail.
"Are you okay? I know what will cheer you up! Lets go dance!" As soon as the ride had ended she once again pulled him away. As they got into the tent they saw that the Weird Sister's were packing up their stuff. "Hmm wondered what happened there?" She said trying to get Harry onto the dance floor.
"Wait no no no no no - I don't dance." Harry said refusing to go onto the dance floor.
"Ooh you lier, you danced at the Sadie Hawkens Dance remember?"
"But that was because somebody paid me too" He said laughing.
"Well, im not going to pay you, but will you dance please..for me?" She asked him giving him the baby face.
"No fair, you know i cant say no to that face..its like death defying!" He said knowing that he had no choice now.
"Well of corse i know that! Why do you think i gave it to you?" She said pulling him onto the dance floor. Harry found it amazing that he was actually having fun with Natalie, espically since they had a bad past together. About ten minutes into dancing, a slow song finally came on. "Ooh i love this song!"
"What is it?" Harry asked not knowing anything about it.
"Its Collide silly goose!" She said putting her head on his shoulder. Harry didnt really mind the fact that he was slow dancing with her, or even the fact that her head was on his shoulder. But once he saw The Little Weasly, all of reality died. Immeditally she noticed him and started walking toward him and Natalie.
"Excuse me, can i cut in?" She asked in a sweet, sort of angelic voice.
"Uhm no, were in the middle of something." Natalie snapped.
"Natalie, please, i havent seen her in over a year.." Harry said looking at Ginny.
"Haha thanks.." Ginny said as Natalie walked away. "So how have you been?"
"I've been pretty good, how about yourself?" He asked, not understanding why she wasnt as excited to see him as he was her. Maybe shes got a boyfriend? Or maybe Ron told her i was here.. Harry thought to himself.
"I've been really good, my birthday is actually in about a week!" She said with a huge smile.
"I know, Ron told me. I can't believe your going to be 16 already! It seems like everything has changed since i left."
"Well alot has, but..everything is going to be alright." She said in a sarcastic voice.
"Haha shut up.." He said laughing along with her. While Ginny and Harry were dancing Ron and Hermonie came into the tent.
"Ginny, i'll be right back.." he said as soon as Ron went towards the punch table. "Do you want some punch?"
"Uhm..sure!" She said as Harry turned around. Little did Harry know, as soon as he walked away, Natalie came up and started going off on Ginny.
"Ron?" Harry asked as he got some punch for Ginny and himself.
"Ello' Harry! Where have you been all night?" Ron said not knowing why Harry seemed upset.
"Why didnt you tell me?" Harry asked wanting to know the truth about him and Hermonie.
"What are you talking about..hey whos that yelling at Ginny?" Ron said looking over toward Ginny.
"Ooh no.." Harry said walking quickly over to where the two girls were.
"Stay away from him you little bitch!" Natalie said with a sharpe tone of voice. "Harry is mine, not yours, so dont try and ruin this."
"Haha excuse me..but you dont own him, and if you actually knew him, you'd see that he doesnt really like you, and hes just being polite." Ginny snapped right back.
"Is there a problem here?" Harry asked the two of them as he gave Ginny her punch.
"Uhm no babe..i was just looking for you to tell you im leaving." Natalie said in an innocent voice.
"Uhm okay..?" He said in confusion. "I guess I'll uhm..see you around..?" He said taking a sip of his punch.
"Yea..i guess so. But do i atleast get a kiss goodbye..? And not a stupid kiss..the ones im used to" she said in a suductive tone.
no..please dont Ginny said to herself, praying Harry wouldnt kiss her.
"We've been down that path, and we both know it doesnt work, so no..I'm sorry" he said kissing her on the cheek and turning around to dance with Ginny. "C'mon Gin.." He said pulling her back onto the dance floor.
"Hold on..I want to introuduce you to somebody.." Ginny said pulling him over to the cornor of the tent, where he first saw her. "These are my best friends, Laura and Michelle. Girls, this is Harry." Ginny said with a giddy sort of voice.
"Harry Potter?" Laura said in shock. "We've heard SO much about you!" Michelle inturpted, making Ginny feel embarassed.
"Uhm okay..well its uhm..Harry what time is it anyway?" She asked trying to get away so they wouldnt say anything about him and her together.
"Its 11:10"
"Ooh crap! My curfew is 11!" She said as she ran out of the tent.
"Ginny, Ginny!" Harry screamed running after her. "Dont worry, I'll explain everything to your Mum.." he said trying to calm her down.
