Chapter…
Bianca and Candice were woken up by Jordy the next morning.
"Girls, wake up!" he said shaking them. There was no response. He tried Bianca first and she slowly started to wake up. He helped her up and she leaned on his chest.
Jordy was a year younger than them but he grew a lot over the holidays and was now a head taller than them.
"What's going on?" Bianca asked looking around.
"Wake Candice up, we have to go to Diagon Alley, remember?" he replied.
Bianca being the only one that could wake Candice up, did and they had their showers before changing and making their way downstairs to see Jordy, Keagan, Jamey, Nicolas and Jesse sitting on the couch waiting for them.
"I'm hungry" Jamey complained.
"Alright, lets eat and go" Bianca said making them al breakfast. Gabriella walked into the kitchen and smiled.
"Morning everyone" she said kissing them all. "I see we are getting ready to go to Diagon Alley today"
"Yeah, but I don't even know where it is or how to get there" Bianca said.
"Oh right. All you have to do is Floo there" Gabriella explained.
"But we can't Floo using our fireplace. It isn't connected" Bianca pointed out.
"Yes, I know. That is why you have to go to your brother house. His is connected because he sometimes uses it to go to work." Gabriella said. "I told him you will be coming and he said it was ok. Now I have to go to work"
"But it is Sunday" Bianca said.
"I just need to pick something up. I will only be there for half the day. Bye everyone" she said leaving.
"Bye aunty" The boys yelled.
They all finished eating and somehow fit five growing boys in the back seat of Bianca's small car.
"I'm not sitting on the back. I don't like being pressed up against someone of the same sex as me" Jordy said. "But if it was a girl it would be a different story." Grinning as he hi-fived his brother Keagan and his cousins.
"Tough luck, Nick's house isn't that far away anyway." Candice said.
"Now, when we are there I don't want to hear anything about you boys playing girls or treating them in a way that I thought you not to" Bianca said.
"Bianca relax. We don't treat girls badly and we hate any boy that does." Jordy started making his cousin happy.
"Good, and just between us. If you see a boy hurting another girl then you haven my personal permission to bash them." Bianca said grinning back at them before focusing on the road again.
"SWEET!" the boys yelled.
"But don't tell anyone" Candice added.
They finally reached Nick's double-story house and the boys fell out the car and onto the pavement.
"Man now you go my jacket dirty" Jesse complained getting up from the floor.
"Show me" Candice said. "Don't worry you cant see it" she said.
They walked to the front door and knocked a few times. Belinda opened the door and smiled at all of them. She greeted them and ushered them into the living room.
The boys all gave her a kiss on the way in (including Candice and Bianca).
Nick came downstairs and greeted the boys in their usually manly way and grinned at Bianca and Candice. "Haha… you have to get school stuff" he teased.
"Nick leave them alone" Belinda said leaning on his chest with his arms around her waist.
"Haha… you have to go to work in 10 minutes" Bianca teased back wiping the smile off his face. "Yeah, I thought so" she said making her way to the fireplace. Others giggled behind her.
"Ok, so there should be enough Floo powder for you guys there. You are free to Floo back at anytime. Nick will be here later but I will be working late." Belinda explained.
"You didn't tell me you were working late" Nick said.
"I thought you last night before we went to bed" she said.
"Yeah, but I say anything just to get you into bed" Nick said. The guys laughed and the girls rolled their eyes.
"Well then you should have listened to me" Belinda said.
"I'm not getting any tonight am I?"
"Nothing" Belinda confirmed.
"Ok, we have young people in the room. We don't want to hear anything else" Bianca said.
"They aren't that young" Nick commented.
"Ok, we're going now" Bianca said as she Floo-ed to Diagon alley.
The others followed and met each other on the other side.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The group of cousins looked around taking in their surroundings. They followed a small path and looked out to see a street full of shops and people bustling around. There were young children running around and parents carrying bags full of what looked like school supplies.
They smiled as they felt comfortable in the friendly looking atmosphere. They tightened their jackets a bit as the cool wind blew sending shivers down their spine.
Bianca turned and they formed a little circle. "So I guess we have to go to the bank to exchange our muggle money into galleons"
They walked down the street until they saw a sign saying 'Gringotts'.
"Bingo" Bianca said as they opened their door and made their way in, smiling at the goblins working behind the counter.
"Yes?" the goblin asked as the group stopped in front of him silently.
"Hi. We were wondering if we would be able to exchange our muggle money for galleons" Bianca asked politely.
"Fine." The goblin replied. They gave him the money quickly and left after.
"I hate them. They freak me out" Candice said.
"Me too" Bianca said looking around. "So, should we get our robes first?"
"Wait, I remember hear something about different groups in Hogwarts" Candice said.
"So?" Jordy asked.
"We aren't in a group yet, how can we get the right uniform with the right group symbol on it?" Bianca finished, understanding what Candice meant.
"Exactly" Candice said.
"Um… well maybe we can ask the shop attendant when we get in there" Bianca suggested making their way 'Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions'.
They entered the store and looks around. It was quiet large with one side of the store containing school uniforms and the other side with formal robes for Balls etc…
A short lady made her way to the group smiling largely. They smiled back being polite.
"Hello, how may I help you?" she asked.
"Hello, would we be able to purchase Hogwarts uniforms here?" Candice asked.
"Of course dear. All of you?"
"Yes please" Bianca replied.
"Ok, follow me". She led them to back section of the shop and stopping. "Shall we do the boys first?"
The boys sighed and did as she told them. Jordy was first. He stood on a little step and she measured his torso. She bent down and slid the tape up then middle of his leg.
"Oh, stop" he said jumping a bit.
"I need to measure your in-seam" she said simply, whipping the measuring tape out again.
"Man you gotta warn a brother before you go and mess around in his junk" Jordy said. The others laughed but she didn't understand.
"Young man. Look at these jeans. They are four sizes to big for you. The crotch is almost on the floor." She criticized.
"That's the style" he smiled.
"Well I don't like it now stand still"
"Ok, but go easy on me" he said.
"This is going to be one long day" Bianca said sitting down on a chair with Candice. Five boys later and it was the girls turn. They did it as quickly as they could. They found a top that fit them properly along with skirts a little above their knees.
"Your skirt is too short. You need a bigger size" the lady said.
"But we like it like this" Candice said.
"Fine, I don't want to argue like I did with these five" she said pointing behind her to the boys that were smiling sheepishly.
They finally finished in the clothing shop and made their way to Flourish and Blotts to buy their books. They were greeted by a short man clearly in his late 60s wearing a grey shirt and black pants.
"What can I get for you young ones?" he asked.
"We are going to need to get books for two seventh-year students, two sixth-years, one fifth-year, one forth-year and a third-year student please" Bianca asked.
They could see you man was having trouble remembering so they slowed it down for him. "We are attending Hogwarts this year and need books for a third year student" Candice said, starting at the youngest.
He nodded and they followed him. He pushed a load of books into their hands. By the time they were finished in the shop each on of them had a bag filled with heavy books and robes.
"Can we get something to eat before we do anything else?" Jordy asked.
"Alright" they bought ice-cream and sat down for a while talking and eating.
"Guys we better get the rest of our stuff" Candice said looking at her watch. The stood up and started walking down the street.
Bianca not looking where she was going bumped into someone causing them to drop their bags. "Sorry" she said. The others stopped and watched.
A boy around the same age as she with light skin and long white blonde hair stood above her cursing as she picked his stuff up.
"Look where you are going next time!" he barked.
"Settle down. Accidents happen" Bianca said standing up but not giving his bags.
"Don't tell me to settle down" he said almost yelling. Jordy and the other boys were at her side in an instant giving him a death stare.
"Didn't you mother teach you manner and to never talk to a girl like that?" Jordy asked through gritted teeth.
"My mother has taught me not to associate myself with scum such as yourself" he said looking at the group up and down. "At least I can afford clothes that fit me"
Jordy jumped forward about to punch him but his brother held him back.
"Well that explains it. Your whole family must be stupid then" Bianca said. "Here, do you want you bags or not?"
She held them out for him. Leaning forward to snatch them off her Bianca dropped it on the floor again. "Oops, it slipped" others laughed.
"You did that on purpose" he yelled.
"Was it that obvious?" she asked stupidly.
"Pick it up!"
"Why don't you, it's your bags" Bianca said, firing him up.
Just then four other people joined him.
"Lucius, what's going on?" a tall and thin girl with blonde hair asked eyeing the group.
"Are they giving you trouble?" someone behind him asked. "Want me to get rid of them?"
Bianca laughed, "Well look at you. Too cool to fight your own battles"
"Looks like I could say the same to you" he replied looking at Jordy and the other boys for a few seconds.
"If they were fighting my battles then you would be dead by now" Bianca told, rolling hr eyes.
"Just pick up my bag so I can get as far away from you as possible" Lucius ordered.
"No" Bianca challenged putting her hands on her hips. She wasn't going to let anyone ordered her around.
"NOW!" he yelled.
"Well well, if it isn't my favorite fagot and his little gang of wannabees" an anonymous voice said from behind Bianca. They turned around to see a very handsome tell boy around the same height as Jordy, with dark brown spiky hair, full pink lips and obviously had a good body underneath the very stylish clothes he was wearing.
"Stay out of this McKinnon" Lucius said ignoring him.
He walked to the front and stood next to Bianca. "Or what?" he asked, smiling smugly.
"The same thing will happen like the last time"
"You mean when I beat the hell out of you?" …. No response. "Mmm sound familiar"
"Well as much I love to stay we must be off" Bianca said turning around.
Lucius leaned forward and held tightly onto her wrist. She spun around and punched him in the face with her other hand and watched him fall to the ground.
"Ooohhh, now you made her angry" Jordy commented, preparing for the show.
"Don't ever touch me again" she said leaning over him. Kicking him one last time she turned around and stomped off.
The others soon followed except for Candice.
"I'm Candice, she's Bianca by the way" she said shaking his hand.
"Brett" he replied smiling down at her. "Is she your twin?"
"No we're cousins and yeah we look the same. I hear it all the time"
"She throws a good punch" he commented
"That's why I stay on her good side. Sorry I have to go. Maybe we will run into each other again… on happier terms"
"I hope so" Brett said.
"Well I better go. Bye" Candice said, turning around and catching up to her cousins.
Five galleons says he goes to Hogwarts. She thought entering a pet store and calming her cousin down.
"Are you ok?" Candice asked.
"I'm fine. Now apparently we are suppose to bring an animal of some sort. I'm taking Simba and the boys are getting owls, except for Jesse. I think he is getting a toad. What do you want?" changing the subject.
"I think I want an owl. Do they come in pink?" Candice asked.
Bianca smiled, "I don't think so"
"Ok well I want a white one then" they bought their pets and left the store a lot less noisy and empty.
"Well I think that's it. If we need anything else we can get it later. My mum will be waiting for us" Bianca said. They went back to the fireplace and Floo-ed back to Nick's house to see him on the phone.
He hung up and looked at the bunch on them carrying owls, book and robes. "Thank God I didn't go". He said.
"Yes, thank God. Otherwise he would be dead." Bianca mumbled under her breathe, unfortunately not soft enough.
"Who would be dead?" Nick asked suspiciously.
"So we're getting our stuff right and-"Jordy started.
"And this old guy in the street was walking slowly in front of us" Bianca said quickly walking to the front door.
"FREEZE!" Nick yelled. "What happened?"
"And this really ugly guy ran into Bianca and they were arguing and then he grabbed her arm" Jordy told.
"What!?" they all blocked their ears.
"Don't worry, I punched him" Bianca said. "Please don't tell mum and dad. I don't want to have to tell them and reassure them I will be ok before starting my last year of school." She said.
"Well are you ok?" he asked holding up both her wrists. No bruises.
"Of course, I won't let a guy get the better of me" she smiled up at him.
"I taught you well" he said. "You better go home. I'll take some of the boys" he said grabbing his keys and following them outside.
When they finally got home Candice followed Bianca upstairs into their room. She threw everything on the floor and jumped on her bed and screamed in her pillow. Candice sat on the bed cross-legged and looked and rubbed her cousins back.
"Bianca what's wrong? You have been weird since we bumped into that Malfoy dude" she said.
"Candice I don't know what wrong. I just feel so annoyed and I don't know why. I mean I punched the guy and usually it goes over my head but for some reason this makes me feel… insecure. Wait not insecure. Crap I don't know" she said.
"Sweetie, you can feel scared if you want to. No one is going to think you are weak, I mean a guy grabbed you for goodness sake. So what if it was just on your arm but it could be worse" Candice said.
"Candice there was something about him. It was like pure evil instead of like the other guys that do it because they are angry or just plain stupid. You should have seen the look in his eye when I stood up" Bianca explained hugging her pillow.
"Bianca, we don't have to worry about him because we will be at Hogwarts which is under the protection of Albus Dumbledore the most known and best wizard of all time. We will be safe with him and besides you will always have me and the boys. We're just a whistle away, whenever you need us." Candice said
"Thanks Candie. I hate to say it but I am scared. I don't like having enemies and… what if he goes to Hogwarts?" Bianca asked worriedly. A tear ran down her face.
"Bianca settle down." Candice said. Bianca put her head on Candie's shoulder. "He wouldn't do anything. He isn't that stupid and I will always be with you. Trust me; once we get to Hogwarts everything will seem better. Just try to forget about him."
It slowly got darker outside and the weather didn't not improve. It started to rain and bigger thunder clouds were formed. The sat together taking their mind off things that happened earlier and occasionally the room was lit up with the lightning from outside.
"So now onto a different subject." Candice started, "What is going on with you and James? I'm not stupid something happened yesterday because you were dancing around him not with him"
Well I saw him writing another letter to Lily. I guess I'm tired of his lies or should I say unmentioned lies. I have decided that I am going to see what happens when we get to Hogwarts. Watch to see their behavior towards me and each other and then I will break it off" Bianca said.
"Well don't do it lightly. I can't believe Lily. I would have yelled at her long time ago" Candice said.
"Yeah, she isn't going to get off easy and I don't think I will ever want to be her friend ever again if that is the way she will treat people she is close to. I can't really judge James though"
"Why?"
"Because we haven't known him for long. I only half blame him. He has like Lily for so long and by hooking up with meant must mean that he was trying to get over her. She either doesn't want to him to get over her because deep down she likes having all the attention, she has started to like him, she doesn't want me to be with him or she really hates him and doesn't want to him to be happy so she is pretending to like him to break him down when he is fully head-over heels." Bianca explained in one long breathe.
"Ok, I'm kinda of catching on. I am just very surprised, it's a little hypocritical because Lily has always been about friends should stay true to each other and nothing should come between them and stuff and look what she does." Candice told.
"Well I guess we will see what happens when we get to school" Bianca said.
"I guess so. Let's go to bed, I'm tired" Candice said as they changed into their pajamas.
They relaxed in their bed and wished each other goodnight before falling asleep to the sound to rain tapping on their window.

Finished…. I told you it would come soon.
Well I hope you liked it. I think I may have put a lot of information in it but it doesn't matter because I'm sure it was what you suspected.
Please review.
