Chapter 10:
Bianca and Candice woke up the next morning to the sound of the phone ringing. They decided to get up and have their showers then instead of having one the last minute. They changed into the clean smelling ballet tights and so on. Gabriella washed it for them because she claimed they were making the house stink.
They packed their bags and were ready in twenty minutes. Bianca doesn't usually have breakfast except for on the weekends but because she had five minutes she decided to take an apple. They migrated down the stairs and into the kitchen where Gabriella once again was talking on the phone in hushed tones.
"Ok, Bye" She said hanging up and looking at the girls. "You didn't tell me you were working again today"
"Mum I told you last might when you asked what I did yesterday" Bianca stated.
"Oh, I'm sorry honey. I have so much on my mind." her mother said. Bianca and Candice sat at the table for a minute.
"Like what?" Candice asked, trying to hide her curiosity.
"Well I start work next week Wednesday and the family is calling non stop to organize a party before everyone starts work again" Gabriella said. That was true and part of the reason why she was stressed but she decided to them the other half later.
"Dad goes to work the day after you doesn't he?" Bianca asked munching on her apple loudly.
"Yes, he does. He is stubborn and always has to have the last day off. Don't ask me?" she said putting her hands up as the girls looked at her oddly.
"Sorry mum. We have to go. We will see you later ok" Bianca said. They both kissed her on the cheek before walking to the door.
"Girls" Gabriella called.
"Yeah" they chorused turning around once more.
"Be home for dinner tonight ok. At seven o clock."
"Ok" they said and walked to the car. They got in the car and drove off.
"Now is it just me or do find it very sus. Something is going on but I guess we will just have to wait until tomorrow." Candice said. They reached the Hall in the next few minutes and prepared for the classes.
The rest of the day was busy as they worked hard. There were times when their minds would wonder to the 'Birthday thing' or the boys who were currently spending the day with their parents.
------------------------------------------
"Boys would you hurry up and get in to car" Mr. Potter said.
"Dad why do we have to go to the stupid meeting thing with you. It is for work and for all you know I could be a spy for Voldemort or something" James said as he and Sirius were pushed in the car.
"James you are not a spy" his mother said closing the door. The car started and they drove in the same direction that Bianca and Candice were going.
"How do you know?" James asked
"Because we are your parents and we just know these things. Besides you want to be an Auror when you finished school" Mrs. Potter stated. James huffed and at in the backseat. He hated when she was right. He was never able to prove a point.
"That's why sometimes you gotta learn to shut up, mate" Sirius whispered.
"He's right you know" Mr. Potter said, looking through the rear view mirror. The car parked and everyone climbed out of the car.
"What are we doing at the Community Hall?" Sirius asked following the potters in. James and Sirius didn't have a problem because they would see their girlfriends but it was a bit odd.
"This is where the meeting is going to be held" Mrs. Potter said walking in.
When they entered the Hall they found a bunch of little girls pointing their toes and jumping softly. At the front of the class were to very pretty brown haired girls calling out instructions.
"Boys isn't that you girlfriends?" Mr. Potter asked.
"Yes" they answered. Tanisha heard talking and turned her head. She saw James and Sirius and yelled, "They are here again to help with our leaps"
The girls turned their heads and smiled. James and Sirius just waved. Mr. and Mrs. Potter watched as all the girls smiled at them.
"Mum you go to the meeting and we will wait for you here" James said. He didn't give his parents a chance to negotiate, because he walked away. Sirius following.
"Where is the meeting place then?" Mrs. Potter asked.
"Go to the front of the hall and there is a staircase. It should be held up there" Sirius yelled.
Mr. and Mrs. Potter walked back and were out of sight.
------------------------------
"Well hello there. Couldn't get enough of us could you?" Candice asked.
"I wouldn't miss seeing my girlfriend and her little friends in pink dresses. What do you think I am?" Sirius said smiling. He kissed her on the lips and James did the same to Bianca.
All the little girl chorused, "Ooooooooohhhhhh"
"Yeah, yeah. Everyone in the corner and maybe if you are good I will let you dance with my boyfriend" Bianca said. All the girls ran to find a spot in the line.
"Ok so we are going to do it like yesterday. Watch us once more and then you can each have a go doing it with one of the boys then by yourself." Candice said.
Bianca and Candice demonstrated the leap theory once more and then the girls had their turn. Each one stood anxiously in line waiting to be lifted in the air by two men.
------------------------------
Mr. and Mrs. Potter found the meeting place and went inside. It was secured with locks and other handy equipment and spells. Inside were familiar faces. Albus Dumbledore, Kingsley Shaklebolt, Minerva McGonagall, Mad-Eyed Moody and many other order members.
"Hello everyone" Mr. Potter said taking a seat with his wife.
"Now everyone. This is just a brief meeting. I come to tell you that there have been no major attacks by Voldemort or hid Death Eaters. We do, however, have suspicions that he is planning something big, like a weapon but we are unsure at this moment. We have spies working on finding out and we will be in touch with them very soon. Any questions so far?" Albus Dumbledore explained. He looked around the room and a few people raised their hands.
"Yes Moody?"
"How has this suspicion come to be? How have you been getting this information?" Moody asked, with his eyes spinning rapidly in its socket.
"Well at first I was interested because there haven't been any attacks lately. I organized for someone to help find some information just to make sure my theory is incorrect. If it is correct then we will work undercover more to find out what it is and how to stop it" Albus answered.
"I am sorry but if there are anymore questions then please come and visit me or owl me with a meeting location. This is a muggle venue and if we must leave before the spell wears off and we are caught. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone" Dumbledore said. Everyone got up. Some of the people apparated and the other half use the back door to leave.
Mr. and Mrs. Potter walked back down the stairs and waited for the boys. They watched as James and Sirius lifted young girls into the air, helping them with their jumping or something other than that.
----
"Well girls it looks like we have run out of time. Thank James and Sirius before you leave please" Bianca said. The girls all hugged the boys before taking their stuff and trying to find their parents.
When all the girls were gone and it was just the Potters and the girls, they all joined in conversation.
"Hello girls, what a coincidence" Mrs. Potter said smiling.
"I see you attended the meeting." Candice commented, but Bianca elbowed her in the ribs. It was none of their business.
"How did you know?" Mr. Potter asked.
"We know everything that goes on in this Hall" Bianca answered.
"I see" Mr. Potter said awkwardly.
"So you work here teaching young children ballet, I see" James mother asked.
"Well we teach children ballet, self defense for everyone and hip hop classes for th teenagers" Bianca told.
"Wow that is fantastic"
"Its good money too, so we can go shopping without our parents killing us" Candice added as they all laughed. More people started arriving for the self defense class.
"Well we better go and teach but we will see you soon" Bianca said. They all said their goodbyes and the Potter left.
"So, where are we going now?" James sighed getting in the car. That was the most interesting thing that will happen to him today.
"We are going to visit your grandmother, then we are going to lunch then you are going to reply to the owl Remus sent you" Mrs. Potter said.
"Moony owled?" Sirius said brightening up.
"Yes and what it with the ridiculous names you have for each other. Prongs, Padfoot, Moony really it is a bit disturbing" Mr. Potter commented.
"Only to you dad. Only to you" James said.
The rest of the day was boring for the boys and they almost died when James' grandmother keep squeezing their cheeks and telling them stories about when she was young.
Finally and seven o'clock they arrived home and the boys ran to their room. Hoping to escape from their parents for a while.
"Finally we are not surrounded but old people" Sirius said lying on his bed.
"I love my grandmother but I have to agree with you there mate" James stated.
"What are we going to do now? We never know what we can do" Sirius commented.
"Let's reply to the email that Moony sent" James suggested. He took out some parchment, ink and a quill as he sat at the desk.
Dear Moony old pal,
How are you mate? Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you are doing well. We know that the full moon was yesterday but luckily you had a forest near you house. It isn't al bad I guess.
Sirius and I are staying at our holiday house in a muggle street. Yeah, we almost died when we found out. You will be pleased to know we have survived so far without magic.
This holiday was very boring at the start but then of course Sirius noticed some really hot chicks that moved in across the street. Their names are Bianca and Candice.
So you will never guess who has girlfriends now. Yep US.
They have curly hair, hot body (says Sirius), tanned skin and what not. We can go into details later. Maybe you can come and visit us some time.
Well we are really bored so write back ASAP.
Cya
Padfoot and Prongs.
P.S. Sirius says he will find out if he can hook you up with their cousin.
They were both satisfied with the letter and attached it to James' mother's owl and watched it fly off.
"I'm bored" Sirius said.
"Me too and it is only... 7:10" James said.
--------------------------------
The girls arrived home and went straight up to their room. They have a much needed shower and changed into something comfortable. They washed their hair and once they were clean and felt refreshed they walked down stairs.
It was only
6:45.
"Girls can you please go to the shop and get bread and milk?" Gabriella asked as she put money in the table.
They got into the car and drove off. They bought what was needed and went straight back home. They were very anxious to know what the big secret was. Bianca and Candice walked into the house to find the whole family sitting there.
"We go out to get milk and this is what we come back to" Candice laughed watching the children hide under the table.
"Yes honey. Well everyone is here so dig in" Taryn (Candie's mum) said. The parents gathered their children and dished them up some food and once everyone was settled they enjoyed the feast.
A while later when everyone was finished eating and the children were playing outside, Gabriella stood up.
"Everyone quiet please. I would like to propose a toast to Candice and Bianca for being the best children we could ever ask for." she said. They raised their glasses and chorused 'Here here'.
Candice was becoming very impatient and got straight to the point, "What is all this about? First you are always talking in hushed tones, to propose a toast to us and we are having dinner"
"Honey it is only natural to have dinner" Gabriella said.
"But the only time we are having a dinner is on an event or when someone needs a favor" Bianca added as Candice nodded.
"She right you know" they heard someone whisper although not sure who.
"Ok we will tell you. First of all, I just want to say that we really need this favor. We are very desperate and will do anything." Taryn said sitting next to the girls. The rest of the family was quiet and just listened. No one continued so Candie's dad had to.
"Well everyone knows that it is Aunty Joan's birthday on the weekend, and she asked the whole family come and celebrate with her. We all know that she lives in another state but we want to go because it is a big birthday"
"Dad get to the point already" Candice sighed.
"Well we, and by we I mean everyone, wants you two to baby sit the kids for the weekend." he finished, as they sat there waiting for a reaction.
"How many kids?" Bianca asked slowly and cautiously.
"All of them" Brian answered.
"WHAT" they exclaimed.
"We know it seems like a lot but half of their weekend is already planned and we can trust you. We would be taking them with us but we can't all afford it and besides it is an adult party" Gabriella told.
Candice and Bianca sighed as they thought about how hectic the weekend will be. Then an idea popped into Bianca's head.
"If we do this then our boyfriends can come over and help us" Bianca stated folding her arms across her chest. Candice smiled.
I think I am a bad influence on her. Candice thought to herself.
"You have boyfriends, who?" Taryn asked with raised eyebrows.
"The boys that were at my party. You know James and Sirius"
"Oh right them. Such nice boys" Gabriella commented.
"So do we have a deal?" Bianca asked. The parents thought about it for a while.
"Deal" Brian said. The most unexpected person agreed. The girls grinned widely.
"But if they sleep over, they are sleeping on the couch" Gabriella added.
"Mum we may be girls but we are not stupid" Bianca said.
"So, what exactly did you mean when you said half their day is planned?" Candice asked changing the subject.
"Right. So Tanisha, Tiana and Sarah have ballet lessons from twelve to three. Adin has soccer and he will go home with a friend after that, so you can pick him up at around the same time as the girls if you want. Just make sure you call and tell the parents you will be late. Jordy, Keagan, Jamey, Nicolas and Jesse will be spending the day with Nick. He is taking them to the park so you don't need to worry about them very much." Mike said he stopped and waited for Brian to continue.
"Malik, Joshua, Matthew, Jason and Daniel will be coming as well but they love computer games and that kind of thing. Just sit them in front of the TV and they will be set for the weekend. Now we have organized to get the blow-up beds out and you can move the furniture so you have enough room. Some of them should fit in the lounge but if they don't you can put them in any of the rooms upstairs. Just make sure you move anything valuable away."
"Man I feel tired already" Candice commented.
"Is there anything else?" Bianca asked ignoring her cousin. She was making personal notes to herself and hoping in her brain that she would be alive by the time their parents get back.
"Well we were wondering if you could also take care of Candice for me" Taryn asked.
"Hey" Candice said.
"Not you. Baby Candice" Taryn answered again shaking her head.
"Mum you know how busy we are going to be. Children running around the house, driving up and down and then have to look after a baby. How will she sleep with all the noise? Babies need a lot of attention and we might not be able to give her that" Candice explained.
"I know honey but I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't desperate. As long as you remember to feed her then I don't mind"
"What are we going to do about food?" Bianca asked scratching her head.
"Well there is a lot of meat in the freezer. Just take it out in the morning and let it defrost. Bianca can make spaghetti or something the first night and we will be home by dinner the next night." Gabriella said.
"Ok we will do this but what do we get in return?" Bianca asked.
"We will give you each an extra two hundred dollars to spend on shopping, when we get the money, and we will pay for al the petrol you use this summer" Brain negotiated. He always knew what would make his daughter and niece happy.
"DEAL" they both exclaimed.
"Thank you so much" Taryn and all the other parents said.
"Well we better go so make sure you get a lot of sleep tonight and we will see you in the morning around 9:00". Everyone left the house. The girls went up to their room slowly.
"How are we going to get through this?" Candice asked.
"Don't worry we will manage. There is no one else that can handle the Street Kids more than us" Bianca laughed as they changed into their pajamas.
"OH, we have to tell the boys to be ready by
9:00 tomorrow morning" Candice said.
She walked over to the desk and found a black piece for paper. She took out a pen and wrote,
Dear James and Sirius,
Well we finally found out what the big secret is. We need you help.
We have to look after all the kids for the weekend, starting tomorrow. Our parents said that you guys can come and help us, but you have to sleep on the couch.
Now when we say all, we mean all the kids you saw at the party before and then some. Well obviously not Ryan and those other nig guys that almost punched you, just the rest.
If you can help us then reply and be ready by 9:00 tomorrow morning and we will come and get you. Reply if you are busy as well.
Hope you can come. We will need all the help we can get.
Bianca and Candice.
They sent the letter with the owl even if it was across the street. They saw the boys room light open so they watched and waited. Ten minutes later their owl swooped back onto the window with a letter attached to its leg. Bianca took it and read it out loud.
Hey girls,
Of course we will help you and we will be ready. This is going to be one busy weekend but at least we will be spending it with you and not our parents.
Well see you tomorrow morning.
Sweet dreams and be thinking of us,
James and Sirius.
The girls smirked at put the letter on their table. They yawned as they climbed into bed. Candice set the alarm for 8:30. They relaxed into the sheets and were asleep within minutes.
-------------------------------------
