Chapter 2

Jackie was in her room packing all her stuff to go to Nehal's.

There was a knock on the door. "Come in." Jackie said.

"Jackie." Mrs. Allan said. "We have a slight problem with our fireplace!"

"We do! Omg this can not be happening! What's wrong with our fireplace?"

"It's blocked!"

"Is there anyway we can fix it?"

"I'm afraid not."

Jackie sat down on her bed in defeat.

"Listen how about I drive you there or they can pick you up by car."

Just then Jackie got an idea. "Okay mom, I'll owl Nehal another letter and ask if she can come pick me up…by car."

As soon as Jackie's mother left the room. Jackie went to owl Nehal.

Yo gurlio

It's me again! Our fireplace is blocked so do you think you could pick me up in your car! Thanks so much

Jackie

Meanwhile at Nehal's house….

"Sorry about my mom guys." said Nehal

"Don't worry about it." said Danielle

"Yeppers!" said Heather. "Moms will be moms."

There was silence.

Nehal said,"I wonder if I'll be like my mom when I'm older."

"I don't think you will be." answered Heather

Danielle started to think about herself as a mom and Ian as her husband…

"Oh Ian, don't you love our perfect family!"

"Of course Danielle. And what would a perfect family be without you!"

"Oh Ian!" She said and kissed him."

Nehal and Heather looked at each other and sniggered at the sight of Danielle.

Just then Manali came in.

"Hey you're not supposed to be here!" said Nehal

Manali said, "Well sorry! I just came to bring you an owl!"

"You bought me an owl? How sweet!" exclaimed Nehal

"No!" Manali said. "Jackie sent you a letter using her owl."

"Oh…huh? I thought we had everything cleared up."

"Well I guess you don't…good day!"

"Well I'm glad I'm an only child!" said Danielle. "I wouldn't want a sister like yours!"

"She's not that bad…" Nehal's voice trailed off.

"Read the letter Nehal!" said Heather

Nehal read the letter out loud. She smirked. "Guys, tonight out comes my baby!" she said gleefully.

"Oh my gosh!" said Heather. "Who's the guy?"

Danielle replied, "Well according to Jackie, the tag did say Riley."

"Exactly!" said Nehal. "My car…well someone's car we stole, we have to pick Jackie up in it!"

"But Nehal you don't even have a drivers license!" said Danielle

"So?"

"You cannot drive!"

Nehal gasped, "Danie!"

"I didn't mean it like that I meant…that you're not allowed to drive because those muggle men with blue suits could arrest you and you could go to a muggle Azkaban!"

Nehal said, "Yeah but were not going to be going there!"

"Why not?" asked Heather

"Because." smirked Nehal again. "Since people say I look like my sister I'll just pretend I'm her since she is legal driving age and you two can just go as yourselves!"

"Are you sure this is going to work?" asked Heather

"Positive."

"Won't your mom suspect anything?" asked Danielle

"Yeah but…we'll just tell her were walking to Jackie's house."

The girls all smiled.

"Nehal!" yelled Mrs. Pradhan

"Yes mother?" Nehal said as she came up the stairs followed by Danielle and Heather.

"It's time to pick up Jackie now!"

"Er…mom there's been a change of plans. You see since its wonderful, fantastic weather outside we thought we could walk to Jackie's house and help her carry her stuff over!"

Heather whispered, "I thought we were taking the car!"

Nehal elbowed Heather in the stomach and Danielle stepped on Heather's foot.

"Ow!" yelled Heather in pain.

"Are you okay Heather?" asked Mrs. Pradhan

"Yeah." lied Heather. "I just have a painful stomach ache. "

"So is this okay with you Mrs. Pradhan?" asked Danielle

"Well…I guess it would be alright but why didn't you tell me before? That way I wouldn't have to rush to prepare for dinner."

"Sorry mom." said Nehal.

"Sorry Mrs. Pradhan." Said Danielle and Heather

"Alright you may go."

The girls ran outside into the garage where Nehal hid her car.

"Nehal isn't this a obvious place to hide a car?" asked Danielle

"Nonsense." Nehal said. "I used an invisible charm."

Nehal pointed her wand and said, "Appear!"

Shazam! The car appeared.

"Good job Nehal." said Heather jumping in the back seat.

Nehal smiled. "Thanks, I know I do good work!" Nehal fixed her make-up and hairstyle so she looked more like her older sister.

As soon as they were ready to go. Nehal pushed the fly/invisibility button and they went flying into the air.

Nehal said, "It's been so long since I've had a ride in my baby!"

Danielle and Heather looked at each other.

After ten minutes of flying they finally landed and drove up to the driveway of Jackie's house. Nehal honked the horn, since she didn't feel like walking up to the door.

"My they sure are not very patient!" said Mrs. Allan.

Jackie looked out the window and saw Heather and Danielle but not Nehal. "I'm confused." she said.

Mr. Allan said, "Come on Jackie hurry up!"

Jackie walked outside with her family as they helped carry her stuff.

"Hello fellow Allan's." said Nehal.

Mrs. and Mr. Allan looked at each other.

James walked up to Heather, "Hey baby!"

Heather looked disgusted. "Okay James I'm 4 years older than you."

"Which means she's old enough to be grossed out by you!" added Jackie. She then gave her parents hugged and she decided to torture James by giving him a big fat smooch on the cheek. Jackie then turned to Nehal. "Umm…where should I put my stuff?"

"Oh you can put your junk in the trunk!"

"Excuse me?" Jackie said not believing a word.

"Jackie it's me!" The supposedly Manali was saying from the corner of her mouth.

"What the…" trailed off Jackie.

"Jackie it's me Nehal!"

Jackie rolled her eyes. She hated it whenever she was confused. "Whateves."

Jackie put her stuff in the trunk and sat in the passenger seat. As soon as they were in the air Nehal took her hair out of a messy bun so Jackie could recognize her better.

"Surprise!" yelled Nehal

"What's going on?" asked a frightened Jackie

"Well…" Nehal said, "Since I don't have a drivers license I had to pretend that I was Manali…besides my mom doesn't know about my baby!"

Jackie was shocked. "You did it…you actually did it…you had sex?"

"Yeah!" added Heather. "And you haven't told us who the guy is?"

Nehal replied, "How many times do I have to tell you Heather it's the nickname for the car?"

"Wait a minute…you call your car my baby?"

"Yeah, why do you have a problem with me calling it my baby?"

Danielle said, "No it's just…"

Jackie interrupted her and said, "The tag said Riley!"

"You remember that?" asked Nehal

"Ya and it was in big red letters too!"

"But I thought you were gansta?" asked Heather

Jackie laughed, "Gurl u crazy. I was gansta but the spell soon faded to the after effect which was me being and acting stupid!"

"Right…" said Heather and Danielle.

Nehal then started singing.

The thing about my baby it don't matter if you're black or white

"But your baby's red?" said Jackie

"It's a song Jackie!" said Danielle

"I knew that but you should sing a song with red in it!"

"There are like no songs with red in it!" replied Heather

"Well then we'll just have to make one up!"

"We're home!" said Nehal "And take cover, my sister is outside!"

Danielle said, "Turn around then!"

Nehal turned the car around and by accident hit a tree. "Oops! That tree just came out of nowhere!"

"Yeah about 100 years corrected Jackie

"Just drive!" yelled Heather

The girls started singing the black and white song by Michael Jackson. They started snapping their fingers and moving their heads back and forth.

They looked and saw that Manali was gone so they parked the car in the garage and got Jackie's stuff. When they got inside the house they started dancing because they had the black or white song stuck in their heads.

Mr. Pradhan was about to help Jackie with her stuff when he saw that they were dancing! "What's going on here?" he asked

Manali replied, "There probably doing some stupid ritual to welcome Jackie into the circus!"

The girls stopped dancing.

"What circus?" asked Jackie

"Yeah what circus?" asked Mr. Pradhan

"Oh it's nothing father!" Nehal said while glaring at Manali.

"Nehal take Jackie's stuff to the basement. "said Mrs. Pradhan

The girls dragged Jackie's stuff into the basement.

"So when's dinner?" asked Jackie

As if Mrs. Pradhan answered that question she yelled, "Dinner is served!"

The table was set very nicely and had a shimmer to it as you looked at the plates. They all sat down.

"Now this is what I call a fine dining experience!" commented Heather

The girls ate and talked about what they did during the summer. Just then the Pradhan's owl came through the window.

Mrs. Pradhan said, "Manali could you please get it?"

Manali sighed and walked over to the window sill. "It's just Hogwarts letters. Nothing important, mother."

"Well bring them over then!" said Mrs. Pradhan.

Mr. Pradhan said, "Your headmaster must know you're here girls. Who is your headmaster anyway?"

"Dumbledore." answered Danielle. "He's quite hip for a guy his age you know!"

"Oh…Dumbledore." said Manali, "Ever since I got the job at the Ministry in England, fudge has been complaining about him 24/7."

"I wonder why." said Jackie sarcastically

Heather was puzzled. "Why?" she asked.

The girls looked at her.

"Dumbledore and Fudge our at each other's throats!" explained Nehal

"Just like you and your sister." Added Jackie

Everyone laughed except for Manali and Nehal who were glaring at each other.

Danielle interrupted, "Dumbledore and Fudge have a huge rivalry between them."

As Nehal was opening her latter a red "C" fell out. She picked it off the ground and looked at it curiously. Then she remembered what the badge was for. "Omg!" she said. "I've been elected Quidditch captain!"

The girls and Nehal's parents congratulated her.

"You Quidditch captain?" scoffed Manali. "You can't handle that kind of responsibility!"

"Yes I can!" said Nehal. "Will have practices every night for 2 hours and then run 10 laps and then do push-ups!"

"Oh no!" muttered Jackie.

Nehal looked at Jackie. "Aren't you happy that I'm Quidditch captain Jaxs? We're going to have so much fun!"

"Umm…yeah it's gonna be a blast!" lied Jackie

"Mother?" asked Nehal. "Can we be excused?"

"Yes you may!"

Danielle said, "Thanks for dinner!"

Jackie said, "Yeah best meal I've had all day!"

Heather said, "I love food! But not fast food."

"Umm…okay." said Nehal

The girls all went into the basement and changed into their PJ's. They started gossiping about who's going out with who and stuff.

Nehal said, "Are you excited about the BQQ tomorrow?"

Heather replied, "Ya of course! So who is coming?"

"All the purebloods defiantly!" said Nehal wrinkling her nose in disgust. "The important ones! In other words RICH!" She sent the look to Jackie. "The ministry is so cheap!"

"Say what?" said Jackie

"Slimeball and Smitherins!" answered Nehal (A.K.A. Draco and Ian)

"That's not nice Nehal." Said Danielle. "Besides your rich!"

"Well do I pretend that I'm all that? asked Nehal

Danielle decided to keep her mouth shut.

"Guys I think we should go to sleep!" said Heather. She lay down on her sleeping bag and closed her eyes.

Jackie shrugged her shoulders and went to sleep too.

Nehal was about to when Danielle said her name.

"Nehal?"

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry about what I said!"

"It's already been forgotten."

"Goodnight Nehal."

"Goodnight Danie."
