Chapter 8
"JUNIPER THERE IS SOMEONE ON THE TELEPHONE FOR YOU!" I heard uncle Moony yell. "Coming!" I answered. I ran down the stairs to the living room where my father was watching television. "Hello?" I asked. "Hey Juniper it's Chris and Luke." I heard the cheerful voice of Luke rang to my ears. "Hey guys, what's up?" I asked. "Well, we found someone for to be our Bassist." Chris said. "Really who?" I asked with hope in my voice. We have been looking for a bassist the past three weeks. "Well he is one year younger then you and Luke, he is a wizard and can play very good." Chris stopped for a minute. "And..." I said knowing that there was something wrong was. "He lives in Finland." He dropped the bom. "Well shit." I looked around only to see my father and uncle looking at me with confusion written all over their faces. "Have you guys found someone else." I asked. "No." They said. "Well lets get this dude to London then." I sighed knowing there was going to be a hard time finding a place for him to stay. "Are you sure?" Luke asked. "You guys said he was good and I trust you." I answered. "Okay, see you tomorrow." They said and hung up.
"What was that about?" Uncle Moony asked. "The guys found a bassist who is really good, only a year younger then us." Uncle Moony looked happy for me but then saw the look on my face. "But the catch is...?" I sighed. "He lives in Finland." "Get him over here." He said. "I said that too but where will he stay? Chris is already at Luke's house." I said. "He can stay here." He chuckled. "Really?! I thought with dad that he couldn't stay here." He laughed at the look on my face. "Yeah he can stay here, not like they know about Sirius in Finland and if he does then we will tell him the truth." I hugged him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" He laughed. "No problem dear."
The next they uncle Moony dropped me off at Luke's house. I went up to the door and knocked on it. "Hello Juniper dear, the boys are upstairs. You know the way." Miss Patterson smiled. I walked up the fairs and then went to Luke's room. "Hey assholes." I barged into the room. They looked shocked at me. "Hey Juniper." Chris said. "I have exciting news." I announced. "The bassist guy can come to my house and stay there." I plopped down to one of the bean sacks that was next to Luke's bed where he and Chris are sitting on. "Really?! That is amazing!" Luke hugged me. "But I need to know a name." I said. "His name is Empu Vitalen." Chris said. Looking happy. "Great send him a letter to ask when he is coming." Finally we found a bassist. We have been covering songs and sometimes we practiced original songs that Luke and I wrote.
Two days later our bassist landed and we came to pick him up from the airport. "Thank you again for letting me stay mister Lupin." Empu said in his Finnish accent. "No problem Empu, you are always welcome here." I smiled, finally we have our bassist.
