"What are you gonna do? The odds are stacked against you. Back against the wall, you gotta give it your all. This is the final stand, the powers in your hand!"
Jake woke up that morning at around 9:30 to this song. His little sister Mayleen was watching a show that her muggle friends showed her. When Jake was a little younger he used to watch a show similar to it, but now he didn't really have much interest in them. Still he got out of bed and went to the living room, to watch the show with his sister. When he got down there she was singing the ending of the song.
"Two worlds collide, on the inside. You gotta fight for what's right, before it's gone, gone, gone. This is Bakugan!" when the song ended she sat down on the couch, unaware that Jake was leaning on the wall, watching her sing. "You know, you have a great voice. Why don't you ever sing in public?" he asked her. She shrugged, but Jake already knew why. She had stage fright, but he wondered why she never even tried to overcome it. He shrugged along with her and laughed. Before she could ask what he was laughing about, he turned and walked out of the living room to go into the kitchen, where his mum had his breakfast ready.
He ate it quickly, not really hungry, and he was about to leave when his sister asked if he could drop her off at her friend's house. He knew she really meant her boyfriend's house, but their parents didn't know about him. He shrugged and said yes. After he dropped her off he decided to go to Hogsmeade. He apparated there and almost immediately he looked toward Hogwarts. He missed the school, and it made him truely sad to see how it ended up after the battle. Maybe he should have signed up to help re-build it, but he wouldn't have had much time to help.
He quickly looked away from the school, and walked into the Three Broomsticks. As he walked in he saw someone wave at him. He knew the girl, but her name escaped his memory for the moment, so he just waved back. He ordered a butterbeer and walked toward the table where the girl was seated.
