A/N Guess what??? I have this friend, PiPPen's Gurl, and she's writing the story, The Truth Comes Out. It's really weird, (No offense) and she needs some help writing it. It has massive potential, but see, she just doesn't really know where to go with it. So I would really appreciate it if you read it and reviewed for her. Pretty Please???? I'll thank you in my next chapter if you do!!!!!! So will she. I'll try to make her come over and write her thanks. Now I want 175 reviews before I post that next chapter. oh dear, I'm starting to get greedy. btw, Anything with ** around it is something that would be put in italics *if* the italics *worked* on my computer. Anything in double * around it is something being sung. exp:**Twinkle twinkkle, little star...**
Dedication: To sweetpy, who reviewed on every single chapter!!! Thanx!!!

Recap:
The Gryffindors had a snowball fight. Ginny played a trick on Harry, and when she told Hermione, she went to apoligize to Harry for wishing he was dead. They kissed, and the whole school saw it.
At dinner, Mercury, the owl of the BSB arrived with a letter for Hermione.
The BSB will be arriving the next day, and Aaron Carter is coming with them. Hermione accidentaly let slip that Nick always tries to set her and Aaron up, and Pansy heard. Now the whole school knows, but they don't know how Hermione knows the BSB.
************************
Chapter 11-The Arrival of the BSB
It was a good thing that there were no lessons the next day, because Hermione was totally spaced out the rest of the day. She mostly stayed in the warmth of the common room, snuggled up with Harry, and ignoring the constant questions about how she knew the Backstreet Boys.
At breakfast, another owl had come to deliver a letter.
**Flashback**
"...and the last and best announcement, the Backstreet Boys will be arriving later this afternoon, so lunch will be postponed until one o' clock."
As it was a holiday, breakfast started later then usual. The mail came anyway.
As Hermione looked up for her copy of the Daily Prophet, she saw another owl she recognized.
"Neptune!" she groaned.
"You mean Mercury?" asked Harry.
"No!" she sighed. "I wish it was. That's Neptune, Mercury's sister."
"Who's owl is she?" asked Harry, looking at the curious bird. It had oddly stared-shaped markings on its tail feathers, and wings, but its head was a bright white color.
"She's Aaron's," sighed Hermione, looking desparingly at the owl.
"Aaron Carter? He's a wizard?!" asked Harry in surprise. "I thought he was a Muggle."
"No," answered Hermione. "Nick and Aaron are wizards. Aaron's twin is a witch. Muggle-born."
"What about the others? How do they know about magic?"
"Well, let's see." said Hermione, thinking. "Kevin's sister-in-law is a witch. He didn't find out until he heard her talking about the Quiddith World Cup a few years ago. Kristin(A/N I checked; that's her real name.) was afraid he'd leave her if he found out about it. But he's really mellow. He's cool with it. When he accidentally told Nick about it, Nick told him his secret. Brian and Leighanne's friends are magic, they aren't though. Howie's actually got a foundation for Lupus, and a lot of it he does with magic. He's a wizard too. But AJ as far as I know, and that's pretty far, doesn't have a drop of wizard blood in his veins. He only knows about it, because the others thought it was safe to tell him, and it wasn't fair to leave him out on all the fun. Especially since they're inseperable. Except when I'm around." she added as an afterthought.
"What's that mean?" asked Harry indignantly.
"I'm really good at getting them to go in different directions when they're mad at each other. I'm the-peacekeeper, you could say." she replied, without noticing how worried he looked.
"How do you know them so well?" he said, dreading the answer.
"My aunt's their manager. Every summer I spend June and July with them," Hermione explained. "I pretty much grew up with them."
Finally spotting the look on Harry's face she said , "What's wrong with you???"
"I-" he started, but was inturrupted with a loud screech from Neptune, who had finally spotted her.
"Crap," she muttered. "Oh well."
She took the letter from the owl, chanting a mantra of "Please don't sing, Please don't sing, Please don't sing, Please don't sing, Please don't sing," and with one final "Oh, pretty please don't sing," she opened it.
However well intentioned they were, Hermione's prayers were not heard. The instant she broke the seal, a very beautiful voice began to singing a song with a fast hip-hop beat.
**I know a girl who's tough but sweet,
She's so fine, she can't be beat.
She's got everything that I desire,
Sets the summer sun on fire.**
**I want candy!
I want candy!**
**I want candy!
I want candy!**
**Go to see her when the sun goes down.
Ain't no finer girl in town.
You're my girl, what the doctor order,
So sweet, you make my mouth water.**
**I want candy!
I want candy!**
**I want candy!
I want candy!**
**(Hey... Hey... Hey... Hey...
Hey... Hey... Hey... Hey...)**
**Candy on the beach, there's nothing better.
But I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater.
Some day soon I'll make you mine,
Then I'll have candy all the time....**
**(Ohhhhhh...)**
**I want candy!
I want candy!**
**I want candy!
I want candy!**
The beat got a little faster, and the singer sung the last few lines twice as fast as he had previously done.
**Candy in the morning time,
Candy in the hot sunshine,
Candy baby can't you see all I want is your..
Candy!**
**Candy in the morning time,
Candy in the hot sunshine,
Candy baby can't you see all I want is your..
Candy!**
**(Hey... Hey... Hey... Hey...
Hey... Hey... Hey... Hey...)**
**All I want is your Candy!**
The Great Hall rang with applause, and above it all, Pansy could be heard shouting, "I told you so, Potter!!!!! Hahahaha!"
Harry got up and walked out of the hall, looking hurt and abashed.
Hermione got up, and walked to the Slytherin table. All she could say was, "You....." As she couldn't think of anything else to say, she slapped Pansy with the back of her hand and walked calmly out of the Hall, as though she had done nothing more interesting then eat breakfast (which, of course, she had).
**End of Flashback**
Now it was nearly eleven-thirty. Hermione sat curled up in Harry's arms, practically sitting on his lap. They weren't talking, just gazing into the fire, off thinking about different things. Hermione thought about Brian and the others coming. They would arrive in an hour. Then she thought about Aaron. She liked him.
He had been her best friend before Hogwarts, and they still wrote to each other occansionally. But she didn't *think* she fancied him. Or did she?? She knew she loved Harry, but Aaron had always been a different matter. He could make her melt inside just by smiling at her. Aaron was very flirtacious around her, giving her compliments and standing up for her. He knew just how she felt, being Muggle-born like her. Every time Malfoy had insulted her for having Muggle parents, she had written to Aaron, and he had written back, comforting letters they were. Harry couldn't do that; he just didn't know what she went through. Aaron made her feel so safe.
But so did Harry. And there the problem began. Her lists of the boys good qualities were nearly identical. Harry was kind, gentle, sweet, funny, understanding, sensible, strong, gorgeous, and an incredible singer and Quidditch player. Aaron was nice funny, hot, sweet, understanding, a pretty good Quidditch player, and a really good singer. Both funny, sweet, understanding, caring, good-looking, and good singers.
This wouldn't have been a problem if Nick hadn't stuck his nose in. He had always thought that Hermione and Aaron should get together. The thought would've never occured to Aaron had Nick not mentioned what a cute couple they were when he had seen them playfully beating each other with French bread two summers ago. Since then he had done everything he could possibly think of to get them together.
Once, he had actually convinced the coreographer to give she and aaron a part ogether, playing two kids just beginning to fall in love. It was really fun, until Nick mentioned the fact that after the BSB left the stage, Hermione and Aaron had to go back on and share a lover's first kiss.
Another time, (A/N I'm going to fill this in with as many different things Nick had done to set Hermi and Aaron up. In your reviews, pleeeaaase tell me what your suggestion is, and I might use it. If you have more than one idea, tell me.)
Nick had partially suceeded. Aaron was attracted to Hermione, and they had even gone out on a couple of dates. But she just wasn't really interested.
She thought of the letter they had sent her last night. The idea of a duet with Aaron was a good one. She had always liked singing with him. And there was no doubt that she could sng as well as he could. But she had a funny feeling that the kind of duet Nick was thinking about wasn't the kind that was performed on a stage.
A horrible thought suddenly struck her. What if Harry thought she was cheating on him?? Aaron was quite the flirt though, so she expected he would have his hand full with two hundred witches to choose from. Why would he pick her once he saw how plain she was compared to the other girls?
~For the same reason Harry did.~ said an annoying voice in the back of her head. ~You've known him practically your whole life. Harry fell in love with you because he got to know you. Aaron's spent even more time with you then Harry has, so he proably even loves you more han Harry does. Viktor fell in love with you for-~
"Oh no!" gasped Hermione, coming out of her trance at last and jumping to her feet. "What am I going to tell Viktor?????"
"Um, uh oh," said Harry, letting go of her and standing up himself. "I don't know. But whatever you tell him, tell him the *instant* he gets here. Everybody knows what happened and someones gonna let something slip."
"I know," moaned Hermione. "I really screwed up this time, didn't I?"
"Uh, yeah you kinda did," admitted Harry. "But don't forget *I* was the one that kissed *you* out there, so yo can just tell him thaaaaaaaat oh, I dunno, that I seduced you, and that you're to scared of my wrath to break up with me. Then he'll come after me, I'll use the Cruciatus Curse on him, you use the Imperious Curse on him, and we'll live happily ever after in Azkaban."
Hermione looked at him, clearly *not* amused. "That," she stated clearly, "is *NOT* funny."
"Sorry," said Harry, looking her in the eye to show he meant it.
"'S Ok," she said, looking straight back into those dark green orbs.
"You could.." said Harry, trying to think of a good way to break the news to Krum. "Well, I s'pose you could write him a letter. But that's really not a nice way to end a relationship. Especially if you're engaged."
"Yes, that does complicate the situation somewhat."
"Yeah," whispered Harry, and kissed her softly on the top of her head. "Whoa! It's already twelve-twenty. We better get going."
***********************
Five minutes later, they were standing on the steps to the castle waiting for the arrival of the BSB.
"I hope they get here OK," muttered Hermione. "If Nick talked them into flying it'll be a disaster."
****************************
A/N HAHAHA!!! I'm soooooooo mean!!! I said this chapter is when they arrive!! Well, they're there!!! Don't worry though, if you give me 165 reviews, I'll post the next chapter really soon, promise!! In fact, it's already written. And I'll tell you what. If I get five reviews with at least one idea each, I'll post it soon, since there isn't much in this chap to review about. The things I need ideas for are: the thing nick did to try to set hermi and aaron up; what Aaron did to piss Harry off so much that he fights him; and how I can descreetly make Herm vanish completely off the Hog grounds, so she isn't visable on the Marouder's Map.
Thanks to:
lauriena-Thank you for not ditching my story just because you don't like the music.
bookworm4ever-OH! Really?? The BSB are my fav band!! I can't believe someone else likes them!!! I'm glad you think it's at least interesting,though I *am* a little disappointed you don't think it's at least good. Oh well, you can't have everything.
Noodlejelly-That is such a wierd name, but I like it!! I think the 'dreaded boyband' is fantastic, thank you very much! And the 'squeaky little boy' isn't too bad looking. I can't judge his singing since he's pretty much drowned out by the 'backup singers' on the little bit of Candy that I've heard.
sugarbaby256- Cute name. In order: I'm happy that you love it so far, of course I'm going to finish it, what else would I do with it???, and I hope I can keep up with your expectations.
Emili Potter-Well, I'm v. sorry that you don't like boy bands, but thank you for giving me permission to continue my story, oh great one (v. sarcastic). Oh come on! You know I'm just playin' (Ewwww! Not like that PiPPen!)
Linz-Ooooh! Sorry, can't help you with that one! Aaron will definetly hit on Hermi, but it probably won't last long, since I'm making Harry stronger, taller, and hotter than Aaron. I don't think there will be a fight, but you never know.
Deb-Thanks! I'm sorry I made you cry!!!! My bad!
sweetypy-chap1:You are like the eighth person to say that!!! Very cute!!
chap2:I don't think it's very funny, but hey! whatever~!!
chap3:i don't watch soaps for the same reason, it was just a joke. Thank you for telling me about my shadow error, i'll fix it right away.
chap4:hermi was saying that she doesn't love harry, just because she kissed him.
chap5:i personally thought it was really dumb, but, hey! whatever!!! and i'm just shocked!! A match for SHAKSPEARE?!?!?! WOW!! That is such a huge complement!!! just one question:who's Shakespeare??? Just messin'!!!!
chap6:WOW!!! do you have hyper-active tear ducts or something? No offense, but everything seems to set you off. At least you had tissues on hand for this one!! Warning!!! This may get even angstyer(is that a word???)
chap7:I'm glad you thought it was so funny!! That's a neat trick, giving a list instead of sentences. I'll bet it saves a lot of time, doesn't it?
chap8:*no smile* ha. ha. ha. oh stop. my side. it hurts. i'm begging you. stop. seriously.*v. sarcastic*
chap9:OK, if you help me, I'll put in a quidditch practice, and I agree, those are the best parts.
chap10:I know!!! That's the best part!! I can be as mean as I want to be!!!!! I'll get even meaner in the next few chapters.
PiPPen's Gurl-I know you were wondering. You have yet to quit bugging me about it. And I think the thanx was big enough too.
Dedication: To sweetpy, who reviewed on every single chapter!!! Thanx!!!
