Today was Serena massive summer bash where everyone and anyone were invited to her party, there were people from Serena's boarding school; there were the Elites of Upper East Side, young celebrities and a lot of wealthy peoples children to list who everyone was in that party would have taken a very long time. The party seemed more like royal wedding then a summer party no-one even knew fully why Serena was having this massive summer party… yes she has had parties before but this big for just a summer party never. It's so big that it was even mentioned in the newspaper and even was a few magazines but luckily Serena had managed to get bodyguards to make sure that the people who weren't on the list would come in. Almost everyone who was going to Serena's summer party were getting very excited to go and they were all doing their shopping to make they would were their best for Serena's summer bash.
Nate, Harry and Chuck were three people out of the whole guest list that was not very excited to go to the party for three very different reasons. Chuck didn't want to go to the party because he confused about his feels for Blair and the new kid Harry (which shouldn't be happening), but unluckily he had a reputation to up hold so even though Chuck Bass was in a relationship doesn't mean he is allowed to skip parties of fellow Upper East Sides. Nate was not looking forward to the party because he had a feeling that something big bad…no bad was not the right word right he didn't know what to call it but Nate felt that something big is going to happen at the party and that there will be a lot of drama. Whereas as Harry was not overly keen on massive or big parties he could deal with them but he preferred to avoid them as much as possible but he know if he want to be normal in the Upper East Side then he had to go to Serena's summer party.
Both Nate and Harry had gone to the swimming wear department to buy swimming trunks for the party that night because they knew that most of people that were going to the party had bought their outfits nearly as soon as the party invitation give to the people so the stores would be stress free and nearly no one there...well nearly no one because as they came into the department they saw Chuck Bass in looking at trunks.
"Hello Chuck, I thought you would already have a swimming trunk?" Nate said to his friend.
"Well, I did but I am bored of it now so I am getting a new one. What about you and petite?" Chuck said while staring at Harry and when Chuck had called Harry petite which caused Harry eyes to narrow with irritation at the nickname.
"Well, we were in no hurry to buy swimming trunks for the party so we have waited until today to buy them," Nate said coolly before heading to the opposite side for the room and started to look for trunks there. Harry didn't want to be close to Chuck so he went to the area that Nate was looking and started to look for a swimming trunk to wear at the party. After while Harry had managed to pick out a few trunks and trying them all Harry chosen the green trunks with lightning bolts on the side(1). Whereas Nate had nearly found one at once it was red with a black and white strip on the side (2). Chuck had chosen a black trunk with blue and white stripe on the side (3). When they paid for the trunks Chuck told them that he would be pleased to see them at the party before they separated to go different ways.
Once back at Nate's place they put away their things before going to the living room, Harry could see the something was bothering Nate so Harry went into the kitchen and made them a cup of tea which he put on the table in front of Nate as soon as the tea was ready before fetching his own cup of tea, he knew that Nate liked coffee better then tea but tea would help him to relax better the coffee in his opinion. Harry sat next down next to Nate on the sofa but didn't saying anything letting Nate decide if he want to talk or not however was too deep into his thoughts he had not notices that Harry was sitting next to him. Harry cleared his throat to see if Nate knew he was sitting next to him but not reaction at all.
"Nate...Nate...Nate!" Harry exclaimed while shaking Nate's shoulders which after a while manage to bring Nate out of his thoughts notices that Harry was sitting next to him.
"What is wrong Nate?" Harry said worriedly to Nate.
"Sorry Harry for being so distracted by my thoughts but this morning meeting Chuck in the shopping was no comfort at all."
"What do you mean Nate?"
"Chuck was not completely himself today and when Chuck Bass is not completely himself you will never know what will happen."
"How do you know that?"
"One thing that Chuck never ever does is to say he will be pleased to see us at party because it is against the Chuck's rule on showing emotions, so if now Chuck starts showing emotions we have no idea what going to happen. Right all I know is that same is going to happen tonight at Serena's bash and I can safely say that I am worried." Nate said while shifting in his seat and ruffling his own hair.
"I am sure that the party will go as it is supposed to and nothing going to go wrong."
"Trust me Harry it will I have been to enough of these parties to know also I knows friend well enough know that and the worst is I know there is nothing I can do to stop it," Nate said with a heavy sigh, this was becoming a bother in the Upper East Side for Nate he didn't mind the parties, the gossiping and the rumours but he really disliked the way some of his friends acts and even how sometimes he acts too. Hope he can change his ways with some of the help from Harry because he would need someone to remind him if he forgets. Suddenly Nate and Harry heard a hoot coming from the room which caused them both to look in the direction from where the hoot was they both saw it was Hedwig. Harry jumped up for the sofa and went straight over to Hedwig to retrieve the letter. When Harry had retrieved the letter he headed towards the sofa and sat down on to read its contents.
Dear Harry,
I know it not been so long since I last wrote to you but quite a lot has happened since we last talked both Sirius & Hermione and Draco & Neville have both come out as a couple to everyone (even the Wizarding World) so Molly decided to throw a big party to celebrate the unions (thank god she didn't do it from Remus and me). Penelope Weasley has give birth to a baby girl which made the Weasley family ecstatic by the news and they have decided to name the girl Janet (4) (after Penelope's grandmother) Penelope Weasley. Percy and Penelope decided to hold the christening of baby Janet on the 4th August so expect invitation soon. Sirius is doing great as Quidditch teacher and is of course popular with all student especially the girls but luckily Hermione keeps them behaved (both the girls and Sirius). I have been told when Hermione does her Charms lesson she is using a lot of my teaching technique to keep those 'twits' (her words) from causing trouble.
Neville is doing great as an apprentice to both Poppy and Pomona and from the report that I have been hearing he has been doing exceedingly well in both subjects. Whereas both Draco and Minerva have been changing the syllabus and subjects that have been taught at Hogwarts (I let them know to owl you as soon as they are available to tell you in full details what they have done and are doing). Therefore this coming September the new first years are going to test the new syllabus and subjects so if it is a success then the will carry on teaching it. The topics in question so far are 'Wizarding Culture and Tradition', 'Wizarding & Muggle dancing', 'Wizarding & Muggle self defence e.g. sword, arrow and so on' and 'Magical and Non magical creature's tradition'.
Fred and George's joke shop is becoming ever more popular and they are planning to expand it to America, France and Italy next so they might drop by. George and Lee have now celebrated their fifth anniversary together and I believe Molly is hoping for a wedding there soon. Fred is still unattached but is partying a lot so his mother hoping something is soon on its way. Bill and Fleur are expecting baby number two in August and Charlie is seeing a guy called Riley in Romania.
Both Remus and I would rather that we pay for our own wedding but we know how stubborn you can get so thank so much for the presents so we will soon start planning the wedding. As you know on the 18th July it is my birthday, Remus and I usually just have a small party together the two of us but this time Remus said that this years is going to be different but refuse to tell me anything but that and I can tell you it driving me insane so I sent Remus to sleep for two weeks on the sofa as his punishment. Everyone else is very glad that now there is only three left of his punishment because Remus is drive them insane.
I am glad that you are enjoying New York but sadden that again your every move is followed like it did over here and if you need anyone to talk or help please either owl me or floo.
Lots of Love,
Severus and Remus.
P.S I will be honoured if you call me Uncle. Hermione is very happy with your letter so she won't curse you just yet.
P.P.S There is a present from Remus and I and it in a small bag that hangs around Hedwig's neck just take off and say Moony which while cause the present to enlarge it itself. If you need to get away for a bit or in trouble in New York then hold on to the gift and say 'there no place like home'.*
Harry folded the letter before heading back over to Hedwig and retrieved the bag. Harry said Moony and the presents enlarge it, when it was big again Harry careful opened it. Lying in the wrapping paper was a necklace the chain was thin and silver, hanging of the chain was a wolf with emerald eyes and a lion with red eyes. Harry put on the necklace and straight away felt the warm of love from the spells that both Severus and Remus put on the necklace Harry could guess the spells that were on the necklace. Harry was glad that his friends were all doing well and they managed to move on from the war, it was great to hear the about the new born children being born with now no worries of the war hanging over.
Unlike what Nate though Harry was also quite nervous for tonight's party he didn't tell that to Nate because he could see already how nervous and up tight Nate was getting so he decided not to tell Nate that he to felt that something was going to happen tonight.
7:30 PM the same evening
Both Nate and Harry were sitting in the limo on the way to Serena's party, they sat in silence since both were nervous for what was going to happen that evening at party but enough of that as the closed in on the summer house were the party was being held both Nate and Harry steeled their nerves before getting out of the limo and headed into the house. From what Harry could see the summer house had two floors and a basement but it was very long and tall house. It had massive windows that start from wear the wall touches the ceiling and where the wall touches the floor so everyone look out to the beach and sea hardly any privacy at all. Harry and Nate headed to the back of the house were the party was already in full swing some of the guest were dancing, some were in the swimming pool, someone in the sea and some lounging around the back of the house.
"Nate! Harry!" Serena exclaimed and hurried over to them while ignoring both Dan and the people she was just talking to. She hugged both Nate and Harry before grabbing to cocktails from one of the tray waiters and handed the cocktails to them. Nate and Harry took a sip of the cocktail and they nearly spat out the drink but somehow managed to prevent it from happening. What the hell was in those cocktails! Both of them thought it tasted awful how Serena could like this cocktail or even serve a cocktail like that. They both went over to the bar to order a more pleasant drinks for themselves while they were waiting for their drink Nate looked out over the crowd and he soon spotted Chuck and Blair talking together in one corner than outside he saw Jenny dancing with a random people and in the middle of the dance floor Nate saw Serena dancing with a random guy...wait where was Dan he was normal always near Serena so where was he. Ah! There was Dan standing on the top of the second floor that gave a view of the whole dance floor, he was just standing there looking out on to the party and Nate saw him looking at Serena. Nate felt like he was watch Jay Gatsby watching Daisy Buchanan and that everyone was there just so he knew that she would be there at the party.
Nate went to look at Serena and realised no longer was Serena the kind, lovely Serena that he lost his virginity to she had turned into Blair Waldorf...no she was turning worse than Blair was. Right now there was nothing that he could except try and keep his friends especially Dan and Harry who are vulnerablein their own way protect from her. Nate hated the way Serena strung Dan along like a toy that a child would love to play within one minute, then the next minute bored of the doll and throws the toy away. Dan couldn't see what Serena was doing because he thinks that he loves her rather than just lusting after her which causing to be blind to Serena actions but soon Nate knew that Serena's action would shatter Dan to pieces which Nate had to some break-up the relationship without damaged or hurting Dan too much. Whereas Harry could be hurt because of his sexuality he could still remember what happened to Serena's little brother Eric when he came out and Nate will do lot to make sure the same doesn't happen to Harry.
It been a while since Nate and Harry went their separate way in the party so that Nate could catch up with his friends. Harry was now stand the second floor next to Dan looking out on to the crowd of people down below, Harry saw that even though Dan was looking around at everyone but of course Dan mostly was looking at Serena.
"I know that we haven't known each other for a long time but I just have to say one thing it that of what Nate told of Serena you are better than her you should break with her before she breaks your heart Dan. Trust me I know because it happened to a friend of mine and he was heartbroken it took two years to get him back to his normal self," Harry told Dan with a sad smile...Oh he could he forget Seamus face when he caught Ginny sleeping with a Ravenclaw on their one year anniversary and had been cheating on him five months into their relationship. It had crushed Seamus into pieces that he began to stop eating, missing sleep and stopping talking with his friends but luckily Dean and Luna made it their job to help Seamus out of his depression which took them two years which was not easy at all.
"No she won't she loves as much as I love her so I know she won't hurt me at all. What wrong with her dancing with another guys she just have fun it is her party," Dan said determined look and voice. At that remark Harry wanted to shake Dan can't he see that it was not love but lust and that she was using him to her advantage but Harry knew that there was nothing he could do about since he didn't know Dan so well.
Harry was so glad when Nate join or he would have definitely shook Dan to see if he would get some sense knocked into Dan but from the conversation that he and Dan just had not even Nate would able to knock some sense into Dan.
"Well, I am heading down to get some more to drink, would any of you like something more to drink?" Dan asked them.
"No thanks Dan," Nate replied with a small smile.
"Me neither but thanks for the offer," Harry thanked Dan and then Dan headed down the stairs as he went down the stairs when Harry thought he saw….nahh! It couldn't could it?
"Nate."
"Yes Harry."
"Dan not going to listen to you if you talk to him about Serena because I just tried to and he just to deep in denial that he only lusting for her not actually in love with her at all and it is bloody annoying," Harry told Nate and Nate nodded before letting out sigh.
"I was afraid that," Nate said with a sigh while pinching the bridge of his nose to calm himself down it seemed that he was right that something big was going to happen.
"What are we going to do about it?"
"Right now we going to leave him be for to today but either tomorrow or the day after we try and talk to Dan again to get through to him about Serena."
"How are Chuck and Blair?"
"I don't know what is happening between those two right now before it seemed everything was great but when I talked to them just now, I have felt bad tension like one of both of them were going to explode any second," Nate said with a sigh before they just stood in silence looking over the party while think of what had happened so far.
After a while they moved to where there were the private rooms so that they could sit down and relax their legs from all that standing. They started just discussing the people that where there at the party which after a while got them to laugh so hard that they nearly started crying with laughter.
Harry popped to the loo while Nate went to get some beer before heading back to where they just sat. Nate saw Harry looked shock and devastated when he came back for the loo, Nate wondered what caused Harry to feel that way but Nate decided to let Harry to tell him in his own time.
"You are back and here a beer," Nate said giving the beer bottle to Harry who took it and started to drink from it.
Meanwhile Dan need to go to the loo but almost all them were being used of one thing or another so Dan had to use one of them in the bedroom so Dane headed up the stairs to where he was previously with Nate and Harry. He headed toward the main bedroom to go to the loo. Dan reached out and opened the door to the bedroom….
"Hey Dan!" came a yell from behind him but that didn't stop him looking side and he froze at what he saw in front of him….
Back with Harry and Nate
Harry was looking around while he keep on shifting in his seat he really want to tell Nate what was bothering him but he didn't know how to bring it up to tell Nate. Harry also could tell that also Nate want to ask him was wrong. Harry notice Dan was slowly opening the door to the master bedroom and Harry worrying so how to distract him from looking in side.
"Hey Dan!" Harry yelled but it was too late.
