Hi everyone. Bet you weren't expecting this, were you? Yes, I finally came up with a way to start Clue:The Mini Mysteries. If you haven't read Clue yet then I suggest you do. Just click on my pen name. I'm putting it under Hermione and Draco since the first one was. I can't guarantee updates nearly as much as Coyote Ugly, which I'm still going to write. These are one-page mysteries locking into one another. Each page will have a mystery to solve, then you'll get to read Ron's and everyone else's explanation. Hopefully, every Friday night, I'll do a double writing of Coyote Ugly and this one. All right, let's start the show!
Disclaimer- If I didn't own the first one, then how the hell do you expect me to own this one?
Chapter 1 Who Stole the Magic Mirror?
Draco's POV
"AARRGG!!!!!!!!"
You're probably wondering why I'm saying this. Last time you heard form me, I was happily engaged to the woman of my dreams. That, thankfully, hasn't changed at all. Hermione and I are still in love, and so are Harry and Ginny and Ron and Ali. I'm completely surprised that it actually lasted.
Okay, so it's Friday night, about one month after our trip to Chicago and Hill Valley Manor. Not much has changed. The whole wizarding world was in total shocked when we announced our engagement, but we're past that now. So here we are sitting at Harry, Ron's flat. Ginny and Ali are still are Hogwarts, but Dumbledor gave them special permission to come and plan for the wedding. At this time, we're all going through pages and pages of wedding halls, foods, guest lists, and whatever else there is. If I'd have known that planning a wedding was this hard, I would've taken Hermione to the Chapel of Love, but I think she'd kill me. I'm so stressed and sick of planning, hence my outbreak that you just read.
"Took the words right out of my mouth, Draco." Said Harry as he leaned back onto the couch rubbing his temples. The others followed his pursuit. Hermione's head drooped onto my shoulder as she groaned loudly with the rest of them.
"I swear, I'm never getting married again after this." Said Ali as she flipped through a book of banquet halls.
"I hope so." Said Ron smiling at her. She smiled back and leaned forward. He wrapped his arms around her, and they sat there cuddled in each other. The rest of us were too tired for that.
"We need some sort of a vacation. Anything to get away from weddings. I'm going to be so glad when it's over." Said Ginny. Ron suddenly stood up, which made Ali fall on the floor with a thud.
"Ouch! What was that for, Ron? Warn me next time you decide to get up while I'm still sitting with you." Said Ali as she half glared and half laughed at him. Ron looked at everyone sheepishly.
"Sorry Al, but I just remembered something that might be of some use to us." He said as he disappeared into his kitchen, which had barely been used since the infamous cooking disaster at Hill Valley Manor. After that, we had completely banned Ron from all cooking related subjects for our and his protection. Not to mention the protection of the rest of the world. Ron reentered the living room with a large box in his hands. He was smiling broadly. This couldn't be good.
"What's in the box, Ron?" I asked.
"Yeah, it better not have anything to do with weddings, or I might scream." Said Ginny.
"Oh, trust me, it doesn't." he said still grinning from ear to ear. He opened the box and pulled out a long thin box with a picture of six people on it. There was only one word written on the box:
Clue
Ginny's POV
"Oh My God!!!!!!!" I yelled as I read the box. I couldn't believe it. No, it couldn't be, could it? The game was taken by my dad into the Misuse if Muggle Artfacts office. It wasn't safe according to them.
"Ron!" screamed Ali as she jumped off the floor.
"Where the hell did you get that? Wasn't it you that said that you never wanted to see the game for as long as you live?" asked Hermione.
"How did you get it?" asked Harry looking impressed that he got one.
"It's not just any Clue game. It's THE Clue game. The one that sent us back. It was lying around Dad's office so I shrunk it when he wasn't looking. I figured it might come in handy sometime." Okay, it's official. Ron has lost his mind due to too much wedding.
"Why would it help us? That bloody thing could've killed us." Said Draco. He shouldn't talk. Without it, he and Mione wouldn't have fallen in love. Show how grateful he is… just kidding!
"Because we already know what happens. Why not just go and relax? It'll be like a vacation. C'mon. I miss Cookie's cooking." Said Ron. Yep, he's lost it. Although… he does have a point. We could go back. It wouldn't matter that we rekilled the people. Our pack didn't apply to that. I'm also desperate to get away from weddings.
"I dunno… are you sure? I don't want to end up dead or something." Said Ali looking a bit suspicious.
"I'm in.," said Harry with no fear. We stared at him. "What? I'm up for a vacation. Besides, I miss that awesome mansion even if we have to share it with Snape and Voldermort again." We sat in silence for a minute. Everyone was turning this over in his or her minds. I'm up for it.
"So, you guys in or out?" asked Rona at last.
"As long as I'm still Miss Scarlet, sure why not? Count me in.," said Hermione standing up and taking the game from Ron. She began to set it up.
"I'll go if she's going." Said Draco nodding towards Hermione. She beamed at him as he set to work helping her with the game bored.
"It's not Clue without Col. Mustard. I'll be there." Said Harry joining Mione and Draco.
"You can't do this without me." I said following Harry.
"You won't get far without your favorite singer." Said Ali grinning. Ron seemed pleased. We finished setting up. I then remembered something.
"Mione goes first. Scarlet always goes first, but we forgot about that last time. So it's Mione who rolls." I said passing the dice to her. She smiled.
"Okay, here goes nothing." Said Mona as she dropped the dice. The telltale thunder and lightning that shook everything struck and in a split second, we were gone yet again.
Ali's POV
Ouch!
I landed on a stone step. God, did that hurt! Last time was much softer. I stood up and looked around. I wasn't at the club. I was standing on the steps to Hill Valley Manor. Ron, Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Draco were lying beside me. They stirred and finally woke up. What had happened? We didn't wake up like this before. Hmmm…
"Are you guys okay?" I asked trying to steady myself.
"What happened? Where's my freaky secretary chewing gum? Did we make it?" asked Draco looking around wildly. We looked around then at ourselves. I smiled. I was wearing my white sparkly dress that I wore my first night here. The others looked the same too.
"I think we're back. It looks like it anyway. Let's try ringing the doorbell." Said Ginny as she stepped forward.
"Hang on guys." Said Mione or Miss Scarlet. "Don't forget that anything that happens probably isn't us, right? It was like that last time."
"I hope so, but this is all too weird." Said Green. "Hey, did we have suitcases before?"
"No, but we do now." Said Mustard picking up the suitcase that was mustard colored. We grabbed the ones that must've been ours though we weren't sure. Ginny walked up and rang the doorbell. We waited anxiously for someone to answer. My breath nearly stopped when it finally did open it.
The man standing there surprised me so much. It was Mr. Body, but he looked happy. In fact, he looked happy to see us! Does he know something that we don't? Oh well. Only one way to find out.
"Ah, my good friends! So glad you could join me. Jen, and Cookie for the weekend. Come in. I must show you this amazing thing I bought today." Said Mr. Body grabbing my hand and pulling me in. The others followed.
The house hadn't changed much since the last time we were in 1920. It still had its large tapestries and beautiful portraits. Mr. Body led us just a little bit into the hall where he stopped at a great mirror. It was gorgeous! The mirror looked as if it were surrounded my gold trimming that sparkled and gleamed in the candlelight. Mr. Body stopped at the mirror and turned back to us.
"I just bought this earlier. It's made with real gold, and was in the palace of an ancient pharaoh, says an ancient legend. It's said that this mirror has the power to grant any wishes that they pleas, but only one. Of course it can only be made on a full moon, which happens to be tonight. Once that wish is made, no one can ask it anything. Pretty interesting, eh?"
We stared at the beautiful mirror. I suddenly felt a greedy erg to make that one wish. Just think, anything in the worked could be mine! I'd never have to work again! Ron and I could have the wedding of our dreams and go on a beautiful honeymoon. Oooooo, I want that one wish. It seems though, that the others want it too. I can see that hungry look in Harry's eyes and Hermione looks ready to pounce. Looks like I have competition.
"Well, shall we go for dinner? Cookie is making her famous meatloaf." Said Mr. Body turning toward the dinning room. We looked at each other and followed his steps.
Harry's POV
Okay, I'm totally lost. Last time, we're Mr. Body's great enemy. What happened? Maybe that part never happened. Maybe we're just friends now. At least Snape and Sirius aren't here. I can't stand Snape, and it was hard seeing Sirius being that he was dead in real life. Mmmmm… food sounds good. I, like Green, missed Cookie's cooking. All Peacock and I can make are sandwiches so meatloaf is a big thing for us.
Cookie and Jen hadn't changed at all. They looked not a day older than twenty and fifty. The dinning room also looked the same except now it seemed to be livelier. There were more candles that lit up room. It sure gave some color to the dreary room. We sat down as Jen placed our food in front of us. I decided that maybe we should question Mr. Body if her remembered the whole murder thing. Hopefully he didn't.
"So… do you remember any thing about murder?" I asked. Everyone just stared. I know they were thinking the same thing, but I was just the ass who decided to ask. Stupid, stupid, stupid…
"Are you feeling all right, Mustard? You must be hallucinating." Said Mr. Body staring at me carefully. He seemed kind of scared if me. He then stared on a long talk of his new mirror. I had to admit that I wanted that mirror. I could have anything I wanted. That would totally rock!
Dinner ended, and Mr. Body bided us goodnight. Scarlet held us back for a minute.
"All right guys, I think that we came back, but now it's just a different type of game. Maybe if we solve the mystery, whatever it maybe, we can go home." She said.
"Have no fear. I'm here!" said Ron. Great. We're doomed.
"That's real assuring." Said Draco rolling his eyes.
"Look, let's just act like nothing is wrong. Let's just take our suitcases to our rooms and go to bed." Said Ali looking tired. Damn! This means that I don't get to share a bed with Ginny. Damn! So anyway, I went to my room and opened my suitcase. There, gleaming in the candlelight was a shinny revolver. I wonder if the others have weapons too. This doesn't look too good…
Mystery…
Soft clatters followed by a small squeak were heard in the upstairs hallway that night. Some one came out of the rooms with a knife in their hands. The person carefully walked downstairs to the magic mirror. They planned to cut it down, hide it, and make their wish. There was a snipping sound moments later, and the mirror was free. The something happened that the person didn't count on.
"Sorry dear." Said a voice right before the person was knocked out with a small hit of the head with the lead pipe. The new person took the mirror. They planned to hide it away in the billiard room, but were stopped short.
"Not so fast. No one hits my best friend." Said the person who grabbed the new person and gagged him with the rope. The third person was off planning on hiding the mirror in the conservatory. Yet again, they were delayed.
"That's mine. Sorry." Said the fourth person who hit the third person lightly on the head. It wasn't powerful, but it was just enough. "I always loved this weapon best. I served me well last time." Said the thief.
They ran all the way to the ballroom. It was now or never. The wish had to be made. The fourth thief propped up the mirror against the piano. After looking at themselves for a second, they began to wish.
"I wish for…"
!Solution!

^Hi readers! Ron here. So did you get it? Well even if you didn't, we'll cut you a break and explain what happened.^
&Don't forget us too, Sherlock. Oh, heeheehee, it's Ginny, Harry, Ali, Draco, and Hermione here too. Say hi guys.&
"Hi guys!"
&Very funny…&
$We're quite capable of greeting people thanks, Gin. This is Draco talking in case you were wondering.$
@No we weren't really. Everyone wants to listen to Ron get on with this so let him talk. Oh, this is Harry by the way.@
#Just get on with it Ron! I'm getting bored of listening to you idiots arguing, and I'm Ali.#
^So ANYWAY, you just read three attempts and one success pf taking that mirror. Right before the "mystery" came, Harry told you that he had the revolver. Therefore, Harry couldn't have done it because there was no later mention of the revolver. Now, the first person to come down was Miss Scarlet. You couldn't tell until later. She cut down the ropes with her knife then tried to take it to her room. Pro. Plum then came and interfered. He hit her on the head and knocked her out cold.^
*Yeah, thanks a lot, Draco. You're not supposed to kill your wife you know.*
$I didn't kill you. I just gravely injured you.$
^Well, after Plum "gravely injured" Scarlet, he ran off toward the billiard room. That's where I cut him off from the library. With my rope, I gagged him. You could tell this by my saying that it was my best friend that he hit. You could've thought that it was either me, White, or Peacock, but you found me being stopped when someone hit me like Plum did Scarlet. That also remained a mystery until one line was said. The wrench was the favorite weapon of this person and had served them well. At our last stay here, Peacock used the wrench to kill Wadsworth. So the solution is Peacock, with the wrench, in the ballroom.^
&Yeah, and it was completely pointless too. My wish didn't come true. That stupid mirror was a fake. I wished for all of this wedding madness to be over. So I cracked the mirror and ran. Then the next morning, I told Mr. Body. I had to clean it up, but it was worth it I think.&
*Now you're probably wondering what happened afterwards. After Peacock finished, we enjoyed the rest of our weekend, which was sooooooo nice and quiet. That thunder and lightning came back on our last night, and we were back on our couch. It was surprising because it wasn't even a second after we left. Last time we were gone for a whole weekend.*
$That was a pleasant break even if we tried to steal a priceless mirror. What's all the fun in a vacation if you just relax all the time?$
&Oh, and my wish sure didn't work, but we were so relaxed that we finished a bunch of planning that night. Thank God!&
A/N: So here's the first mini mystery. Soooo… what did you think? Should I continue? Was there anything confusing? Just review and tell me! Thanks for reading!
Lots of Love,
RonFan
