Hello guys,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The summer holidays have just begun. James and Sirius have finished their sixth year at Hogwarts and have a whole summer to sit around, do nothing and think of pranks to use against their new neighbours. Well technically they aren't really their neighbours. James' parents have a holiday house about two to three houses away from the Potter Mansion. His mother thought it would be a good idea to stay there for the rest of the holidays.
The only problem was that their amazing holiday house was in the middle of a muggle street. Sirius was so upset that they weren't allowed to use magic; he was quiet the entire way to the house. They had to dress and act like muggles. Dressing like a muggle wouldn't be a problem but acting like them was hard.
The boys were sitting around moping about having nothing to do, until they noticed a big truck outside the house opposite theirs. They moved to the window to get a closer look.
"Looks like someone is moving in" James stated.
"You know what this means don't you?" Sirius asked grinning.
"Pranking Time" they exclaimed as they ran up to James' room.
They stayed there for most of the afternoon organizing what to do, when to do it and how to do it. At around five-thirty they looked out the window and saw that the truck was gone and there was a woman running up and down the driveway with her arms full of bags.
"They unpack rather fast for muggles." Sirius noticed.
They say down on the floor and decided to play a game of poker. Mrs. Potter said it was a muggle game and it was very enjoyable. It wasn't enjoyable for James because Sirius would cheat every five seconds.
Around seven-thirty Mrs. Potter came into the room.
"Boys. Dinner is on the table." That was enough to make Sirius jump up and slide down the stairs and run into the kitchen.
They ate dinner while Mr Potter asked the boys what they will be dong this holidays.
"I don't know dad. There is like nothing we can do because all the muggle stuff is boring." James pointed out, before stuffing his mouth with mashed potato.
"That's not true there are so many muggle sports that you boys could learn how to play" Mrs. Potter said as Sirius snorted.
"Mum where are we going to learn how to play a muggle sport?" James questioned.
"Well, there are special classes I could sign you up for, or you could ask some of the neighbours to teach you" she answered. James and Sirius grinned widely.
"Oh. We will visit the neighbours, if that is ok with you." James smiled sweetly.
"Now boys. I don't want you getting into trouble with the neighbours. Let them enjoy their holidays in peace' Mr. Potter told them, seriously.
"Well it is good to know that my parents have so much faith in me" James said putting his hand on his chest.
"We do have faith in you James. We just worry. The things you do when you are with Sirius are…. Indescribable" Mrs. Potter said. Sirius just smiled and batted his eyelashes.
They all finished their dinner and the boys sat on the couch and tried to find out how to use the remote to the TV.
"Ok, boys. We are going out. Don't wait up because we will probably be gone for a while. Be good, don't burn the house down, if you go out anywhere leave a note and lock the door" Mrs. Potter said kissing both the boys on the head. They just nodded in response.
"We mean it boys. If you get into any trouble we will take away your broomsticks" Mr. Potter threatened. That surely got their attention and they looked at him if he was crazy.
Mr. and Mrs. Potter left and James and Sirius didn't know what to do.
"Well, there goes our prank out the window. This is going to be the most boring holiday ever." Sirius said collapsing on the couch again.
"I don't now about that" James said.
"Huh?" Sirius asked.
He saw James looking out the window. He joined them and smiled instantly. The new neighbours were having a welcoming party. Cars were pulling up in the driveway and there were children running everywhere.
"Well Sirius, looks like we are going to a party" James smiled.
"But we don't even know them" Sirius said.
"Good point….. We can just pretend that we are friends and walk past their house every now and then" James thought out loud.
"I don't get it" Sirius said again.
"Either do I, but we have to do something or I will go crazy" James exclaimed.
They wrote a note and left it on the table. Just as they were about to leave they saw a note stuck on the door.
Boys...
If you are going somewhere and it is too far to walk, then you may take the car. But if there is one scratch on it your father will kill you. Be good.
Love Mummy.
They exchanged glances before taking the car keys and house keys. When they got into the car and James started the engine.
"So, where are we going?" James asked.
"I don't know I was following you" Sirius said looking over to James who was hitting his head on the steering-wheel, repeatedly. They turned the car off and just sat there.
It was around ten o'clock when they heard music. Very loud music coming from the house opposite theirs. The boys sighed and watched as they could see people dancing, having a great time, through the window.
"JAMES! LOOK!" Sirius exclaimed punching James in the stomach to get his attention.
"WHAT?"
"Look!" Sirius said again getting out of the car. James did the same and walked over to Sirius. James followed Sirius' eyes and suddenly realized. Sirius was staring at two girls.
They both had tanned skin. One had very curly, brown hair that reached her lower back and the other had hair that reached just under her shoulders.
Sirius liked the one with shorter hair. She was wearing denim short shorts with a brown top and brown boots. The girl with longer hair caught James' eye, and she was wearing black short shorts with a blue top and black boots.
"They are hot" Sirius said not taking his eyes off them.
"Tell me about it" James replied.
"Where are they from?" Sirius questioned.
"I don't know but lets find out" James said as they both made their way over. But they stopped.
At least fifteen children ran out of the house. They all had tanned skin and were playing on the grass. Then more people came out of the house but this time they were men. Five men wearing jeans, expensive jackets and hats walked out and were sitting on their cars outside.
"Do we really want to go over there?" Sirius asked.
"Maybe not right now. Let's just wait for a little while." James said. They both sat down on the steps leading up to their house and watching the party across the street.
---------- At around 3:00pm in the afternoon. ----------------
There is one thing you need to know about this family. They love to party. Every weekend there is a party at someone's house, and there isn't even an occasion. For the parties that do have an occasion that just means that it will be bigger than others. These parties could be small, but they don't know the meaning of the word. That is why there are so many children. As soon as one becomes a teenager then they have another one. Luckily for Bianca, her mother stopped at two.
"Mum, what time is everyone coming?" Bianca asked, her mother Gabriella who was in the kitchen cooking.
"Around ten" she answered rushed.
"So, I am guessing they are going to leave the normal time?" Bianca asked again stirring the pot on the stove.
"Yes. Except for Taryn. She's got baby Candice with her so she will be leaving earlier than everyone else. I think it was around 2:30. That is what she told me" Gabriella answered.
"Two-thirty. That is a bit early for them. What if I was to look after baby Candice for a while? Would they stay longer?" Bianca asked her mother.
"I don't know, maybe. Oh, Bianca. Can you call your brother and tell him to come tonight?" Gabriella asked before leaving the kitchen and running upstairs.
"Why do parents ask as if it is a question? They will force you to do it later anyway" Bianca said to herself as she picked up the phone and dialed the number.
"Hello Nick."
"Hey, wassup?" he asked from the other end.
"Mum, wants to know if you are coming tonight?" Bianca asked.
"Yeah, I'll be there. What time?" he replied.
"I don't know the usual time, I guess. Around midnight?" she answered.
"Alright, see you then. Bye" he said before hanging up the phone.
Bianca hung up the phone and went up to her room. On the way, her dad stopped her.
"Honey, can you please get the music ready for tonight. I have to go to the shop to buy the alcohol" With that he left.
"Again with the questions" Bianca mumbled under her, breath. She reached the computer and sat down while she looked at the long list of songs and groaned.
Why did we have to move to a muggle street? Now I have to do everything by hand" she thought to herself.
Hours later Bianca finally finished. She looked at the time and was shocked to see that it was 9:30. She ran up to her room and searched through her wardrobe. She decided to wear her small black shorts and blue top with her boots. It was summer and she was very likely to get hot. She had the fastest shower known to man kind and changed quickly.
She put gel in her hair and fixed up her curls before running down stairs. Every time there was a party it was hers and Candice's job to make sure the children stay out of trouble.
Someone knocked on the door. Luckily it was Candice. Candice is also the same age as Bianca except a month younger. Candice has two sisters. Tanisha who is six years old and her youngest sister named Candice as well, and she is four months old. Her parents couldn't think of any other good names so they used Candice again.
Bianca opened the door to find Candice holding baby Candice in one arm and a bag in the other. "Hello" Bianca said taking baby Candice and kissing Candice on the cheek before they dumped the food in the kitchen.
At that moment Bianca's mum came out of the kitchen.
"Hello" she said, kissing Candice on the cheek and taking baby Candice from Bianca.
"Let's go and wait outside for everyone else to come" Bianca said linking arms with Candice. They walked outside and stood on the grass talking to each other about their days. They were really close since they were babies and told each other everything.
Soon everyone arrived and had eaten. All the children were fed and they were now running around the house.
"Bianca! Can you take the kids outside, please?" he mother asked.
"Ok" All the children were playing games on the grass. Bianca and Candice were busy holding their little cousins, Candice and Rachel. Soon the babies fell asleep. Bianca and Candice put them in a room that was quiet and left the baby monitor on.
They went back outside. Their five older cousins, all boys were sitting outside by their cars.
"Bianca, I'm bored" her little cousin Adin said pulling her hand lightly.
"Well, what do you want to do?" Bianca asked.
"I don't know" he answered.
"Well you go think about it and then come and tell us" Candice said.
"Hey Ryan!" Bianca yelled at her older cousin who was sitting on his car.
"What?" he asked with his low voice.
"Do you still have your basketball and CD player in your car?" Bianca asked. He nodded and handed both of the items over to her.
"OK KIDS. LINE UP" Candice shouted. All the little children ran over to her, but others walked.
"Ok who wants to play a game of basketball?" Bianca asked.
All the little kids put their hands up.
"Ok well make you teams, and for those who don't want to play basketball can come and dance with me and Candie, ok?" Bianca said before walking off. Only some of the children decided to play basketball. Ryan, Koby, Casey, Cole and Julian decided to join in and play a game.
The little girls were busier playing with their skipping ropes. Bianca and Candie started playing music because they were soon becoming bored, and after a while they were dancing together.
---------------------------------------------------------
James and Sirius sat their watching as the two girls called the kids attention and gave them a ball. They watched the children play in the deserted street with their older cousins.
At around midnight most of the little children were asleep in Bianca's room and the teenagers were still hanging around outside.
"Man enough of this. I am going over there" Sirius said as he walked towards the two girls that were busy dancing. James followed.
"Hi there" Sirius said, the girls couldn't hear him but when they noticed two boys standing there they turned the music softer.
"Hi" Candie said first.
"I'm James and this is Sirius" James said introducing himself and holding his hand out for Bianca to shake.
"I'm Bianca and this is Candie" Bianca answered shaking his hand and Candie doing the same to Sirius.
"So… do you guys live around here?" Candice asked.
"Sort of." Sirius answered.
"What do you mean sort of?" Bianca asked.
"Well this is my parent's holiday house, and they thought it would be fun to stay here until we go back to hog- I mean" James said. Both the girls smiled. Sirius and James were scratching their necks nervously.
"Hogwarts" Candice finished for them. They looked at the girls curiously.
"So I guess you are wizards then?" Sirius asked.
"Well are you just the brightest one out of the bunch?" Candie commented, but Bianca elbowed her in the ribs.
"I was joking" she insisted.
"I'm sure." She retorted.
"So you guys having a party?" James asked.
"Yeah, kind of like a welcome thing, I guess" Bianca answered. She was about to say something else when Candice elbowed her and pointed at something behind the boys.
They all looked in the direction and noticed that another car pulled up in the driveway. It was Bianca's brother Nick and his girlfriend. Bianca ran and hugged him.
"Who's that?" James asked Candice but she was gone as well.
The girls returned.
"Sorry. That was my brother" Bianca answered.
"Are you joking?" James asked again.
"No, I'm serious."
"No, I am" Sirius added smiling.
"That joke is lame and I bet you have used it a thousand times before." Candice commented as James tried to hold back laughter.
Just then Nick came outside again holding baby Candice who must have woken up.
"Who are you?" he asked, eyeing the boys that were talking to his sister and cousin.
"I'm James and this is Sirius" James answered.
"What's up?" Sirius added.
Nick just raised his eyebrows and said "uh huh" before turning to Bianca.
"Candice woke up and needs to be changed." Nick said handing Candice over to Bianca and going back inside the house.
Baby Candice was too busy blowing bubbles and chewing her fingers.
"Eww, she stinks. You clean her" Bianca said holding her arms out to Candice.
"No way. I did it the last time. Besides she likes you more" Candie answered stepping away from the smelly baby.
"You are so mean, and I plan on hurting you once she is asleep again." Bianca said.
"I look forward to it" Candice answered.
Bianca was about to leave when she noticed the boys still standing there.
"Is she yours?" Sirius asked.
"Excuse me" Bianca asked shocked at such a question.
"I guess not" Sirius said as he could feel Candice burning holes in him with her eyes.
"Candice, I am going to change her and when I come back these two better be gone or have very large bruises on them" Bianca said before walking away.
"Ok, but I think I might need some help. Call the boys for me" Candice said smiling evilly.
"Ryan, Koby, Casey, Cole and Julian. Candice needs your help" Bianca yelled as she went inside the house.
Those five boys that were playing basketball walked over to Candie's side.
"You're dead now" Candice commented.
"What's wrong?" Ryan asked. James and Sirius gulped. Candice looked at James and Sirius and could tell they were scared.
"Nothing." Candice answered. James and Sirius looked at her gratefully.
"Then why did you call us?" Casey asked.
"I was wondering if you could find Bianca's car keys." Candice asked lamely.
They boys walked away.
"Thanks" Sirius said.
"Oh, I wasn't doing you a favor. Now you're on Bianca's bad list. Believe me that is somewhere you don't want to be. If you are on her bad list then you are on her brother's death list" Candice explained as Bianca walked back over to them with a clean smelling baby in her arms.
"You guys are supposed to be gone" Bianca said.
"We're sorry. We want to start off fresh. Hi, I'm James and this is Sirius" James said holding his hand out again. The girls just sighed and went along with it.
"I'm Bianca, this is Candice and Candice." Bianca said. "They are both my cousins"
"Cool. What are you guys going to do now?" Sirius asked.
"Well, we were going to go shopping" Candice said.
"We were" Bianca asked, Candie nodded. "Right, we were"
"Are the shops even open at…1:30 in the morning?" James asked looking at his watch.
"They are if you know the right people." Bianca answered.
"Ok. Go take Candice back inside to your mum and then we can go" Candice said getting the keys to Bianca's car.
Bianca went inside and handed the baby over to her mother. As Bianca left she told her mum where she was going. "Mum, Candice and I are going shopping. We're taking my car and I have my phone if you need me" Bianca shouted through the house.
"Ok honey. Don't be gone for too long." She heard her mother reply from somewhere in the house.
Bianca and Candice got in the car and turned on the engine. James and Sirius were just watching them. "Are you coming or not?" Candice asked.
"We didn't know we were invited" Sirius answered as he and James got into the back of the car.
Bianca drove off and soon they reached the shopping centre. Much to the boys surprise it was still open. "Haven't you guys ever heard of late night shopping?" Bianca asked as they got out the car and walked inside.
They walked through the large shopping centre looking at everything in the shop windows. Then Bianca got a phone call. "Hello" she answered.
"Bianca where are you?" her brother's voice came from the other end.
"I'm shopping with Candice"
"Are you with those two boys?" Nick asked.
"Why are you asking?" Bianca asked nervously.
"I'll take that as a yes" he said "I'm coming to get you" Nick said before hanging up the phone.
"Oh no." Bianca said.
"What?" Candice asked as they all stopped walking.
"Nick is coming here to get us" Bianca said.
"CRAP!" Candice exclaimed.
