Linger

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina walked down to the Garden with her Guitar in hand, Nina was really glad she had brought it with her to New Zealand. When Nina got there she was happy to see that no one was there. Nina sat down on a bench and crossed her legs and rested her acoustic guitar on her knee and took a pic out of her blue jeans pocket. And Nina began to strum some cords and Nina became lead herself into the song a few times and STARTED TO SING.

All I know is that you're so nice,
You're the nicest thing I've seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.

I wish I was your favourite girl,
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world.
I wish i was your favourite smile,
I wish the way I dressed was your favourite kind of style.

I wish you couldn't figure me out,
But you always wanna know what I was about.
I wish you'd hold my hand when I was upset,
I wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met.

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot that you loved secretly,
'Cos it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see.
Basically, I wish that you loved me,
I wish that you needed me,
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three.

I wish that without me your heart would break,
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake.
I wish that without me you couldn't eat,
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep.

All i know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen;
I wish that we could see if we could be something

As Nina was playing she felt a tear run down her cheek. When she finished singing the song she rested her right arm on her guitare and a few seconds later she sang it again but with out the acompany of her guitar, Lily then Nina sighed. [/color]


[I meant to have the title be 'The Nicest Thing' but I can't change it ]

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka was wondering the gardens at the time. The chill in the air ment that she was going to start waring swaters. Today it was a normal blue one but she didn't let her oddness die with it. The skirt was black with a red sash and diffrent colored buttons around the bottom. Each in the colors of the diffrent Hogwarts houses. Her socks where baggy over her black trainers and striped black and white. Pixies twinkled off the ends of the chopsticks that held a side bun up.

Zazuka was in the middle of wondering wheather or not they where going to have a Wild Patch club meeting anytime soon when she heard someone singing. It was quite beautiful really acompanyed by the gutare. Zazuka sat down a short way's away from the girl singing. By the hair she realized that it was Nina, the champion for HS. She listened to the lyrics leting her mind wonder on what they could mean to her or who she was singing about.

When the song ended she waited abit. Somehow Zazuka could tell it was not the apropert time to make her presence known. Nina started to sing again and again Zazuka listened letting her head move from side to side according to the rythem. When the song ended again Zazuka started to clap for her. "That was beautful." She said in her dreamy voice.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina wiped her tear and turned in the direction in the voice and said, "Oh my, I didn't think anyone was listening." Nina blushed slightly embaressed that she hadn't heard the girl come in. "Hi ermm, I'm Nina Patrokov." Nina said awkwardly.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka nodded making the pixies twinkle like bells. "I know. The whole school knows about you and Camren. Your the champions of the Trywizard Tornament after all. You do not know me though. I'm Zazuka Bones, Ravenclaw second year." She said. Her lips spread in the brightest smile to show she ment nothing but good will towards her.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina blushed violently, Nina was relitivly shy and all this attention was surprising for her. "Lovely to meet you Zazuka. Nice name you have there." Nina said kindly.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka laughed into her hand. "It was the first name that poped into my father's mind. My brother's where named according to people from the Bible. I was named after a disnay movie. Zazu was the bird from the Lion King and he just added Ka to the end to make it sound like girl's name. Anyway where you singing about anyone in partuculer?" She asked tiliting her head. There had been a certen something that made her think that the song had a deeper meaning to Nina than it did to her.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina blushed violently and her eyes twinkled she smiled thinking of Alex. "Uhmm, no one in particular." Nina lied, when it really did, this song made her think of Alex a lot now, it never had before but ever since they found out about the Triwizard Tournament they have gotten closer, it helped that Alex was here aswell.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zauzka fixed her almond shaped glasses then smiled brightly. She thought it best not to ask anymore from the blush. "Then you have real talent as a singer. Only someone with true talent can bring such feeling to a song that means little to them." She said crypticly. "The lyrics "I wish, I wish" sounds intresting but one has to really think of what the power of a wish really is." She said looking up. The clouds got her attetion as she thought. Her eyes unfoucused little.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina looked down and looked back up at Zazuka "You are one intuitive 2nd year, all the second years I've meet only care about quidditch, not saying that I don't which I do. But I am a little surprised with you Zazuka." Nina said honestly then winked at the small girl and strummed her guitar happily.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka laughed a little. "Oh I care about Quiddich. My best friend plays for the Gryffendor team. I cheer her on when ever I can and when Ravenclaw isn't playing of course. I'm wierd, I notice things that others tend to over look. Like the way a look can tell alot about a person. The way the light moves across the glasses of someone who wares them. You can tell a lot about a person by just looking. But you can never get the whole picture. For that talking is nessery." She said then laughed into her hand again. "Agian you can ingnore everything I'm saying. I'm wierd." She said again. Zazuka knew that this was what most of the school thought of her. She was used to it really and even embrased it.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina smiled, she liked this girl she seemed nice. A little too smart for your own good, probably got in a lot of trouble with the other students or teachers. "Zazuka, I don't know why any one wouldn't like you, you seem nice." Nina said kindly. "When I was your age I did that very same thing, but as I got older it kind of stopped, sure I notice things like you probably do, but I don't act on it anymore." Nina said smiling. "And you were right, I can't fake emotion like that." Nina winked at the girl, when she realized Zazuka hadn't noticed the wink before. Nina blushed violently again, as she began to think of Alex, then she touched her cheek, her hands were always cold and her cheeks were boiling. When she calmed down a little she rested her hand on her guitar.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka's smiled wide at the wink then looked down. "Everyone here seems to like me even though some of them think I'm completly off my rocker. I'm not saying there wronge eather." She said with a laugh. "No one at my hometown liked me though. Too strange, my father epecially didn't like me. At the moment I'm not allowed to go back to my parents house." She said with a sigh. "I don't really tell anyone that I notice thies things. I usually just write them down or remember them. I can tell you who is going out with who and I didn't hear it from anyone. It's no good fake anything unles you really need it to fake something." Zauzka said. She giggled softly. She noticed that Nina had gone a bright shade of crimson. She also knew that it had something to do with a boy. It usually did with girls even older girls.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina frowned as Zazuka told her about the problems she had at home and Nina couldn't think of anything else to say but, "I'm sorry."

Then Nina was up for a bit of a subject change, "What about you, any boys willing to join your cookyness?" Nina asked with a laugh.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka shook her head again making the pixies in her hair jingle like bells. "No, I'm too plain for that and also I tend to sutter around cute boys. There is one Hufflepuff that when ever I see him I have an accsdent. The last time I saw him in the hallway I crashed into a piller sending the statue hurrling into the wall. Luckally it had a spell on it and it came back to gether then jumped back onto the piller. I can never bring myself to talk to a cute boy I don't really know though." She said. This was the extent of her shyness. She could never talk to a boy she liked alone. She had to be with someone else to calm her and brake aquward silences.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

"Awh well, the Yule Ball is coming up soon maybe someone will ask you, or maybe you can ask someone." Nina suggested said holding back a little laughter.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka looked up thinking. The clouds seemed to hold all her ideas. They are the only ones that could really. Them and the stars as countless as they are. "I think whatever boy here to brave going out with odd little me would have to ask me because I could never ask someone as brave as I have been getting lately." She said laughing a bit. "You know your going to have a date for the Yull ball right?" She said laughing into her hand.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

"Well I know that I need one, but I might just use a fall back if the boy I want to ask me doesn't." Nina said cutely. Then frowned at this thought, she figured Alex wouldn't ask her and she would have to end up asking him.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka laughed. "I'm sure he will. You should come as a guest singer or something like that for the W-Rock group we have." She said thinking of the Wrock club in the school. She loved to sing for them even though she waivered sometimes.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

"Whats the W-rock group?" Nina asked happily.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

"A music group we have. W stands for Wizard. The Wizard Rock group." Zazuka said proudly. They where not overly good but it was so much fun to go to the meetings.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina smiled she had figured that much and said, "So if I were to assume that the Genre of music is rock would I be correct?" Nina smiled to herself

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka looked up thinking. "Maybe we will get to that point but for now we are trying diffrent stuff out." She said thinking of thier last meeting. She had actually sung in Japanese even though she had not idea how to speak it.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina smiled and asked, "What is your favourite you have done so far?"

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka again looked up to think about it. She liked everything that they had tryed but what had she liked the most? "We did this Blues rift that I quite injoyed." She said as she remembered how her voice sounded at that point.

 

[Nina Patrokov]

Nina smiled, she loved the blues but she couldn't get enough passion into her voice as she sang it. "The Blues is fantastic, do you listen to muggle music at all?" Nina asked curiously.
