The Parent Trap
Chapter Two
Holly Granger stepped off from the coach, her grip on her backpack tightened. She took a deep breath before looking at her surroundings, all she could see were girls amongst girls amongst girls, and they all looked the same to her. They were all squabbling over their belongings, most of them were jumping around with excitement, some were already moaning about things. The scene looked as though it was in chaos.
"Now what?" Holly muttered to herself. She decided to collect her suitcase where others were being rounded up. She walked right up to the pile and noticed hers was at the bottom. "Just great," she laughed to herself. She dropped her backpack and with all her might, she tried her best to retrieve her suitcase. She pulled and pulled until the handle of the suitcase flung off causing her to fall on her bottom.
"You must be new," the girl next to her said. The girl was quite rounded with brown, curly, shoulder-length hair, she had freckles all around her face but mainly on her nose, on top of her button nose, rested round glasses. She smiled pleasantly at Holly.
Holly nodded, "how could you tell?"
"You never grabbed your suitcase as soon as you stepped off the coach."
"Yes I did," Holly said a bit annoyed.
"Well not quick enough then," the girl watched Holly struggle to pull out her suitcase, "here let me help."
The two girls continued to pull. Next to them a tall, thin, blonde haired girl swooped down and grabbed her suitcase from the bottom of the suitcase pile.
"Wow," the two girls said in unison.
"Now that's my kind of woman," Holly said.
"Yo Blondie!!" the tall girl turned around to look at them.
"Could you please help me with my suitcase?" Holly asked feeling a bit pathetic that she couldn't do it herself, "It's that one," Holly pointed to the black one that was falling apart.
"Sure," the blonde girl elegantly swooped down and pulled Holly's suitcase out of the rumble as though it was nothing. "Hey, are you from California?" Holly nodded to the girl's question.
"Do you like live in Hollywood?" the brown-haired girl asked.
"Do you like live next door to a movie star?" the blonde one asked.
"Woah, one question at a time," Holly laughed, "No, I've never even been to Hollywood, I live in Berkeley, which is on the East shore of San Francisco Bay in Northern California." The two other girls made an "O" shape with their mouths.
"Granger, Holly." A woman called out.
"Here," Holly shouted, raising her hand.
The woman called out where Holly was meant to be staying whilst she is at the camp.
"That's where I am," the two girls called out too. Holly smiled and gave the girls high fives. The trio began to walk to their cabin, before they noticed a long, black limo, behind them. It was horning at the girls to clear the path.
"Whoa, who do you think is in there?" Holly asked. The limo suddenly stopped and out walked a man in his mid-thirties. He was rather handsome, the sharp features on his face complemented his tanned skin. His hair was short and a sandy brown coloured, and his eyes were a rich hazel tone.
After him walked out a pretty girl. She had long brown hair, and her eyes were a stormy blue/grey. She looked just like Holly, except she was much paler. The girl looked around her surroundings in approval and turned to the man that accompanied her.
"Well, here we are, Camp Walden for Girls," he said in a thick English accent, "we travelled all the way from London for this?" he stared down at the little girl in front of him.
"It's rather picturesque, don't you think?" she said, admiring the place.
"Picturesque?" the man snorted, "sure there's plenty of girls around, they're just a little too young for me though, they haven't quite developed yet," the girl gave him an evil stare at his remark, "Ok," the man reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a list, "right, just a quick check-list to see if you haven't forgotten anything," the girl nodded, "clothes?"
"check."
"sunblock?"
"check."
"Lip balm?"
"check."
"insect repellent, stationary, stamps, photographs of your father, your grandfather, and of course me," the man smirked at the last part.
"Got it all," the girl gave a smirk back.
"Oh and I have a present here from your Dad," the man handed over a small box.
"A new deck of cards?"
"Yes, maybe you'll be able to find someone here to play poker with ... non-magically," he added on the end.
"Thank you," the girl smiled at him, "thank you for bringing me here Uncle Blaise," she hugged him tightly as she could. He let go of her and then knelt down to her level.
"Now, if you ever want to go back home, you'll have to use the telephone. And you have to remember, this is a MUGGLE camp," he emphasized on the word muggle, "also, please remember to write to us often, your Dad will go crazy with worry if you don't," the girl laughed, "six weeks is a long time to be away from you Mini Malfoy, I'm going to miss you," he tickled her under her armpits, but she didn't move, "not ticklish anymore?" he asked.
The girl looked at him, and hugged him again, "I'll be fine, I promise," she said as reassurance to herself, which he picked up on. He stood up from the grounded and dusted anything that was on his designer suit. He kissed the top of the girl's head, "bye Amelia," and with that he climbed back into the limo and watched the little girl he left behind growing smaller and smaller as the limo began to move further away from her.
Amelia watched the limo leave her, she was all on her own now.

It was already the next day, the girls were all in the cafeteria for breakfast, The whole room was buzzing with excitement, all the girls were gossiping and laughing. Some were playing games, others were reading magazines in between eating their food.
On one side of the cafeteria sat Amelia, she had already befriended two girls. One was short with dirty-blonde hair and brown eyes, Lindsay her name was. The other was the same height as Amelia, she had sleek black hair, and went by the name of Sky. The trio of girls sat by other who shared the same dormitory as them.
"So, what do you guys want to do today?" Lindsay asked, taking a bite out of her toast.
"hhmmm, not sure to be honest, how about tennis?" Amelia suggested. The two girls looked at each other and nodded in agreement, it was settled as soon as they ate their breakfast they would go to play tennis.
On the other side of the cafeteria, Holly Granger sat with the two girls that she befriended yesterday, Lucy and Brittany.
Lucy, the tall, blonde haired one asked the girls what they should do today.
"ooo, you know what, I've always wanted to fence," Holly said in a dreamy voice, "my mum never took me though because she was too busy with her book store."
"Your mum owns a book store?" Brittany asked.
"Yeah, except she writes books too, seriously she has tonnes of them, we have our own library at home."
"Wow," the two girls said together.
"Anyway, yeah, fencing it is today."
It was already afternoon, Holly Granger was on the fencing court. She had just made a new record, fifty games unbeaten, well she had been there all morning. She had just defeated her opponent, she took off her mask and gave high fives to all her mates on the bench, that were sitting and admiring her performance.
"The winner, and our undefeated champ, from Berkeley, California, Miss Holly Granger!!" the woman spoke as she applauded Holly, "now do we have any challengers?" just at that moment, Amelia and her friends were walking past from their tennis practise.
"You know what, I'll do it."
"Name?" the woman asked.
"Malfoy, Amelia Malfoy," Holly looked at her opponent, she found something familiar about that name, Malfoy, she had certainly read it somewhere before.
Amelia got suited up and picked up her sword, "right then," the woman spoke, "En garde. Prêt. Allez"
Amelia and Holly both locked swords, they twisted and turned, and even ended up going off the fencing court.
Other girls stopped what they were doing to stare at Holly and Amelia's fencing match. They kept trying to hit each other's torso but they kept dodging each other's hits. The girls kept moving further and further away from the court, with more and more girls following them to see what will happen next.
Holly climbed onto the stairs of a cabin with Amelia shortly after her tail. The two girls were still having a war with the metal lightsabres when Holly was hit with Amelia's sowrd and then plunged down into water.
"Argh!!" Holly screeched as her clothing got wet, "you did that on purpose!" she blamed Amelia.
"Hey, it's just a game, calm down."
"Fine," Holly huffed.
"Ok, well, here, let me help you," Amelia offered Holly her hand to take up, Holly just simply stared at it until a smirk appeared on her face that no one else could see because of the mask.
"No," Holly reached up to the hand, "let me help you," and with that Holly pulled the girl into the water with her.
"ARGH!!" Amelia screamed as she too fell into the pool of water, "what was that for?"
"I think you know what that was for," Holly said, standing up from the water and getting herself out. Amelia, did the same.
"Wow, that was quite a match," the woman has just gotten past the crowd of girls to see who the winner was, "Alright, well I think we've got ourselves a new champion, from London, England, Miss Amelia Malfoy."
The crowd of girls broke out into an applause for Amelia, Amelia simply smirked at her winning, whilst taking off her suit.
"Now girls, shake hands," the woman told them sternly. Holly groaned, and Amelia looked as though this was the hardest thing she'll ever have to do in her life.
The two girls turned around to face each other and gasped at what they saw, they were exactly alike in looks, and it wasn't just them who noticed, other girls around them started whispering about how similar they were.
Holly was the first to recover and held her hand out, Amelia took it still gaping at Holly. Holly, with difficultly, took her hand back from Amelia.
"hmmm, whys everyone staring?" Holly asked, looking around at the others surrounding them.
"Don't you see it?" Amelia asked.
"See what?" Holly shrugged.
"The resemblance between us, we look the same." Holly stood there staring at Amelia as though she was the craziest person she had ever met.
A/N: BIG thank you to every one who has been reviewing;
Silidons (my first ever reviewer for this story) – Yes, hopefully the plotting will be really similar to the film, it'll be close to the 1998 Disney version with Lindsay Lohan. As you can tell from this chapter, I used pretty much everything from the quotes to the events that happen. But I will try my best to make it different too.
Jazznly – please don't be angry that I didn't use Anna and Hannah, they are of course great names, but they were a bit too similar for my liking.
Rose.Ashton.Jade.Riddle.Malfoy – Thanks for voting, as you can tell, I used Amelia, yay!!
Karou – Thanks for the suggestions of names. And dont worry about Dramione, I will make them get together and make them happy ... eventually!!
Sonata Ann – Well Chapter Two has been finished and I do hope that you liked it. By the way, thanks for suggesting the names.
Sarahyyy – Thanks for suggesting Amber and Hope, but don't be mad that I didn't use them lol.
Kamiko20 – well, I used Holly as one of the names!! yay
