Devon grinned impishly as she waited for 10 o'clock to come. She had made the decision to not tell Riley that Draco Malfoy would be joining in on their day of mischief.

"What's got you so giddy?" Riley asked impatiently and the grin just magnified.

"Nothing." She sing-songed. "You'll find out soon enough!" Even though her best friend had never said it and would deny it until her last breath, Devon knew that Riley found the pompous blonde insanely attractive.

Devon couldn't wait. This was going to be a train wreck!

"Elle's coming right?" Riley confirmed, know the other blonde would never willingly miss a day of mischief.

"Yeah, and she's bringing Liam." She said, struggling to hold back her devious joy at the fact. It was a well known fact to everyone who frequented the Black-Lupin household that seventeen year old William had a small crush on the gorgeous Ms Russell.

At fourteen, Riley felt comfortable enough with him and both of their knowledge that nothing would ever happen between the two of them to flirt outrageously with the older boy.

Draco was going to throw fits!

At that moment Elle burst frantically through the door with Liam close behind her looking completely confused as to why they were rushing.

"I'm here! I'm here! Did I miss it?!" Elle demanded breathlessly.

"Not yet!" Devon squealed back at her, her shrill voice causing Riley and Liam to wince. "Any minute now!"

"What is so exciting?" Riley demanded as Liam walked over to her.

Elle and Dev shared a giddy smile before Elle burst out with "I just can't wait for him to get here!"

Riley and Liam shared a look, wondering why Elle was so excited for Blaise to be here. Liam threw his arm over Riley's shoulder, pulling her close and leaned down to whisper in her ear how crazy his sister was, causing her to giggle.

And that was the scene that Blaise flooed into, followed closely by Draco.

He took the scene in slowly, his eyes first searching out Devon who was standing beside a pretty blonde, both watching him in barely concealed glee. Then he looked at Blaise who was looking back at him expectantly and moved a half step closer to his confused best friend. Then it all made sense as a sudden movement drew his eye to the stunning blonde he was anticipating sparring with.

Draco could feel the back of his neck heat up and his fist clenched furiously at his sides. His silver gaze turned icy as he tried to telepathically sever the arm of the wanker who was touching Russell from his pathetic body. His eyes never left Riley as she turned a brilliant magenta and tried to mask her shock at seeing him.

Liam looked from his little sisters, practically vibrating with suppressed mirth, to the Italian boy, holding himself tense incase he needed to intervene, before resting on the irate blonde he had never seen before. He was something in the depths of the icy grey eyes and smirked to himself, pulling Riley closer to his side.

Draco's eyes flamed but before he could make a move he was hit by a small redhead with such force it knocked him back a step but he never broke eye contact with Riley.

"I'm so happy you came Draco Malfoy!" Dev squealed as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "You look furious!" She whispered up to him.

"There's no need to sound so delighted about it!" He hissed back, his eyes still glued to the scene in front of him. "Why is he touching her?"

Riley's indignant shout interrupted them.

"You knew he was coming?!"

"Of course I did." Devon crowed. "I invited him."

Riley finally noticed the devilish look in Devon's eyes and realized her best friend knew. She bit her lip and stared at the floor for a minute before straightening her shoulders and staring back at him defiantly.

Elle's impatience finally made itself known and she bounced forward excitedly. "Hi Draco Malfoy. I'm Elle."

Draco tore his eyes away from Riley to stare at Elle for a minute. She met his gaze unflinchingly and said "It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Elle. Devon Penelope speaks very highly of you." He graced her with a breathtaking smile before bringing her hand up to his mouth and softly kissing the back.

A pink flush raced across her cheeks and Draco let out a deep dark chuckle. Elle's eyes flew to Devon.

"I told you!" Dev exclaimed as she smiled triumphantly.

Draco's eyes glowed and he leaned closer to Elle. "What exactly did Devon Penelope tell you Miss Elle?" he asked in a husky tone with a wicked smirk.

Elle's blush kicked up a shade and Draco laughed openly at her reaction to him.

"That's not very nice of you Draco Malfoy." She pouted and slapped him playfully.

He gave her a boyish grin and a wink but before he could reply Riley let out a disbelieving snort.

"No one would ever make the mistake of thinking Malfoy was nice." She spat out.

Draco's eyes blazed and Devon nearly peed herself in excitement as she tried to inconspicuously motion for Elle to watch this closely and Blaise leaned against the wall, watching it all in relaxed amusement.

He sidled up to her like a jungle cat stalking his prey and circled around her completely. He ended up behind her and leaned in close to her ear.

"I know how to be very nice to the right person Russell." He rasped into her ear in a clear voice, causing all three girls to close their eyes and catch their breath.

Blaise cleared his throat loudly before anything else could be said. "I do believe I was promised a day of mischief. Not a front row seat to 'Debauchery Thy Name Is Draco Malfoy'."

Draco smirked, unrepentant, as the girls blushed and Devon hastily explained. "The girls and I have planned a surprise for you three boys. We're taking you someplace secret and you're going to love it!" She produced two blindfolds from the pocket of her bright yellow shorts and smirked, handing one to Elle.

"Bend down boys." She drawled and Blaise and Draco both paled.

"Why are there only two?" Draco demanded, glaring at William, who still had his arm wrapped around Riley.

"No one asked for your questions." Riley said still glaring at him.

Draco just arched an eyebrow at her before turning warily towards Elle.

"Is this strictly necessary? I promise not to open my eyes." He smiled charmingly and it grew wider at her blush.

Elle giggled. "I know better than to believe that from the things I've heard Draco Malfoy. It's the blindfold or nothing."

He turned to watch Blaise's struggle for a minute to see if he was fairing any better.

"Pipsqueak-"

"No."

"But-"

"Not happening."

"Please?"

"Bend down Blaise."

Blaise sighed and leaned over so Devon could place the silk tie over his eyes and Draco held back a laugh at how whipped his best friend was.

He turned back to Elle and dropped to his knees at her feet.

"I'm at your mercy Miss Elle."

Draco swallowed convulsively as the last thing he saw was the devious glint in her eyes before everything went dark.

"Why isn't he blindfolded?" Blaise whined in the vague direction of William.

"He has to drive." Devon said excitedly as she bounced towards the door dragging and still protesting Blaise beside her.

Draco stuck out his arm and gave a surprisingly graceful bow considering he was blindfolded.

"Do your worst Miss Elle."

He swallowed tightly again at her delighted cackle, a feeling of trepidation settling in the base of his spine.

"Oh Draco Malfoy. That was the wrong thing to say." She leaned in and whispered in his ear. "I never back down from a challenge." She linked her arm with his and led him smoothly towards the waiting car, a huge smile on her face as she set her scheme in motion.

With a quick wink at Devon, she pushed Draco roughly into the car and he just happened to land squarely on top of Riley.

"Oops." She said in her most innocent voice, before ruining it with a mischievous giggle as she slammed the door and jumped in the other side.
