Hello everyone and anyone who may be reading this! Sorry it took me so long

power for four and a half days so I couldn't work on my story!
Anyways, this chapter is real important, because you meet a new character,
Ralee! Yay, Ralee! Ralee is actually my friend Laura, the name Ralee comes
from the last two letters of Laura, Ra, and her middle name, Lee. Creative
huh? She made it up not me. Anyways, I want to give a big round of applause
to Laura, because she helped me out with this story, giving me some great
ideas, which will be coming up soon enough, and for making some great dolls
for me on her website. Some of you may be wondering what exactly dolls
are.(Ellena) they are like little pictures of these cartoons. They're
really cute, and you can go see them at Laura's site,
GO THERE. It is an awesome site, and you'll love it. Be sure to check out fanfic, can you guess whose fanfic it is???? And check out dolls she made for her friends, if you e-mail her, she'll be glad to make some for you I'm sure, and while you're there. Make sure you sign her guest book! Now, I also wanna say thanks to Ellena because she is my only reviewer ever, and she's really great 'cause she lets me know just what she thinks. Thanks Ellena, and you're surprise is in this chapter; so pay close attention! Lastly, I want to thank my friend Denise, for reading my story, which she is doing right now even as I write this, and supporting me with whatever I write. Thanks Denise. Also, there's a little joke in here. My Black Cat. I really do have a black cat; only her name is Black Beauty, not Pineapple. Pineapple is my nickname for Denise! And I decided to put her in here. Ya know, she's my muggle friend and I had to mention her, those poor muggles they don't get enough attention. Oh, and you might be wondering, since I have a nickname for Denise, does she have a nickname for me? Yes she does. It's Porky. Please don't ask me why, it's too hard to explain. Same goes for Pineapple. Just go with it. Anyways, I've jabbered on long enough. So on the story!

The next morning at breakfast, they were all sitting at the Gryffindor table, when Draco's Slytherin girlfriend walked up to their table. Mandy glared at her. "What do you want?" She held up her hand. "I come in peace." She said jokingly. They just glared at her. "Um." She said. "I have a confession to make. Can I sit down?" Missy silently slid over to allow her room. Everyone was quiet for a moment, then, "Well what do you want?" Elorra asked. Ralee bit her lip. "I don't suppose it's any use asking you not to get mad at me is it?" No one answered. Ralee sighed. "Oh well, I may as well get this over with."
She opened her mouth but saw Draco heading towards her with an angry look on his face. Ralee's eyes went wide. "Uh oh, I'll have to continue this later, see you tonight!" She jumped up and ran to Draco. They all watched as he asked her something, and they distinctly heard Ralee say, "I was just warning them Draky baby." Lizzy snorted into her kippers. "Well." Said Hermione. "What was that all about?"
Mandy and Missy were walking to class, they had just said goodbye to Elorra and Lizzy. The two of them were walking down the hall when Ron and Oliver walked up.
"Hi Mandy." Oliver was grinning.
Mandy laughed, trying to play it cool. "Hi. Uh. Ol.Oliver." She smiled.
Missy laughed and looked over at Mandy. "That was smooth Haha haha."
Mandy blushed. "Oh, thanks Missy."
Ron stepped up to Missy. "Hey. " He grinned at her.
Missy put on anther fake smile. "Hi Ron." She grabbed Mandy's arm. "Well, we better get to class." She said, as she started pulling Mandy away.
Mandy looked back at Oliver then at Missy. "But.Oliver..."
Missy laughed. "I'm sure you'll live."
When they arrived to Potions, their last class before lunch, late, Snape was at the front of the class with his arms crossed staring at them. "You're late." He informed them.
Mandy and Missy quickly sat down. "Five points from Gryffindor." He said. "Ok, today we will be making a shrinking potion. Your ingredients are on the table, along with a paper on how much to put in it. Now, pair up and start working." He sat down at his desk, and stared at the rest of the class.
Mandy and Missy paired up and started working on the potion. They had just about gotten it when...
Mandy screamed as their potion blew up. She flew back onto the floor, along with Missy. The rest of the class laughed and pointed at them. Mandy got up, and helped Missy stand up also.
Snape walked up to them and stared at the mess. "Twenty points from Gryffindor." He turned around and then turned back towards them. "And clean this mess up and get out of my class room. " He walked over to Draco and Ralee's potion and smiled. He then looked back at Missy and Mandy. "This is a good potion right here. Maybe you should take some pointers from these two." Draco and Ralee smiled and Snape walked back up to the front of the class.
Missy and Mandy quickly cleaned up the mess that the potion had made, and finished just as the bell rang. The grabbed their bags and ran out of class. They ran all the way down to the great hall as fast as they could.
When they got to the great hall, they sat down at the table and panted. Mandy felt someone tap her on the shoulder, and she looked up and saw Oliver's deep brown eyes. "Oliver!" He smiled. "Care to go for a walk?" He asked. She nodded, her eyes shining. She took his proffered arm and walked out of the great hall, leaving Missy frowning all by herself. Little did she know that this was all part of Lizzy's great plan. 'I'm glad I have the rest of the day off. Oh I love Friday's.' Just then, Lizzy herself rushed up and grabbed Missy's arm. "Hurry! Come here!" she rushed Missy out of the great hall and into the common room. Then she shoved her in a coat closet. "Stay here! Whatever you do, don't move! It's very important!" Missy looked puzzled, but Lizzy shut the door before she noticed.
A few minutes later she heard some giggling, then a muffled sound, then, "Shhh!" then the door opened, and someone stumbled in. the door quickly slammed shut and was locked. The light flicked on. Ron stood by the light switch rubbing his eyes. Missy groaned. "Oh no!" Ron glared at her. Missy pounded on the door. "Lizzy let me out!" "No! Not until you guys can kiss and make up!" Then Elorra's voice: "We're waiting!"
Ralee made her way up to the Gryffindor common room. She felt rather guilty. She wanted to tell the others the truth, before she drowned in her own conscience. She knocked on the portrait and it was opened. Ralee stepped inside and asked for Mandy, Lizzy, Elorra, or Missy. The boy pointed her to the closet. Ralee walked up to Lizzy and Elorra standing outside the closet door. "Hi." "You again!" Exclaimed Lizzy. Ralee nodded. "Yeah, I know you guys don't even know me but." She stuck out her hand. "Ralee Stapp. Pleased to meet you." No one shook her hand. " Well.Anyways, I still need to tell you what I was going to tell you earlier." She took a deep breath and told them everything. Elorra gaped at her. "You what?" Ralee sighed. "Look, I want to make it up to you, ok?" Lizzy grinned a smile slowly spreading across her face. Then she told Ralee her brilliant plan.
Ralee smiled after Lizzy told her the plan. She agreed and told her it would happen tonight. She left, and Lizzy, and Elorra waited outside of the closet, hoping their plan would work. After an hour and a half of waiting, and not hearing anything, they opened up the closet. Missy and Ron were both sitting on the floor, but as far away from each other as they could get. Missy stood up and walked past everyone, and ran up to her dormitory. Ron stood up too, and looked at the two of them and shook his head, and then he also ran up to his room. The two girls then sat down on the couch and sighed. They couldn't figure out what they had done.
Missy ran up to the room and sat down on her bed. She was mad. She couldn't believe what her friends had done. If anything, she was madder at Ron then she was before. She didn't think anything could make her forgive him. Not after what he had done. She lay back on her bed, but couldn't fall asleep. She was too afraid she'd have another dream. She just stared up at the ceiling and thought about how she was going to get them back. It had to be something good.
Ron ran up to his room too and sat down on his bed. Harry looked over and laughed. "How did it go?" He asked.
Ron glared at him. "You were in on it too?"
Harry shook his head. "No, I walked in after they had locked you in the closet. I asked what was going on and they told Me."
"Then why didn't you let me out of there?" Ron asked.
Harry smiled. "Why would I? They had everything worked out. I couldn't wreck that."
Ron stood up. "I thought you were my best friend!"
Harry stopped smiling. "I AM your best friend, that's why I didn't argue with them."
Ron stomped out of the room, and out of the common room, running out to the lake.
Lizzy watched Ron run out of the common room. She looked at Elorra. "What was up with him?"
Elorra laughed. "Harry probably told him that he knew what was going on?"
Lizzy smiled. "He'll forgive Harry. He can't stay away from him."
Elorra stood up and stretched. "Lets go find something to eat. I'm starving."
Elorra and Lizzy stood up and walked out of the common room, nearly running into Mandy. "Hi guys!" She chirped. "Guess what!? I went for a walk with Oliver Wood, and he actually held my hand for a few seconds!" She screeched out of pure excitement. Elorra and Lizzy looked at each other and grinned. "I take it you like Oliver?" Elorra asked. Mandy looked shocked. "I've liked Oliver since we got here." Elorra laughed.
Just then Ralee walked up. "Everything's great for tonight, guys." She gave them thumbs up. "Great job Ralee!" "We can't wait!" "This is going to be so good!" Mandy looked thoroughly confused. "What on earth is going on here? Why are you guys talking to-to her? And what is going on tonight that's going to be so great, might I ask?" Lizzy, Elorra and Ralee looked at each other. "Maybe I'd better explain," Ralee said. Mandy folded her arms and nodded. Ralee took a deep breath. "Ok, I've really tried to be nice to you guys to make up for what I did." "What did you do?" Asked Mandy. Ralee closed her eyes for a moment. "All right, I've been making your dreams." "What???" "I've been making your dreams." She nodded. "And noises." Mandy was speechless. "Wha-Why?" Elorra and Lizzy leaned forward. This was something they had not thought to ask. Ralee bit her lip. "Well at first I did it because I thought I was impressing Draco. Turns out he wasn't even noticing. Then I realized how mean it was when you guys started seriously losing sleep and doing really bad in your classes. I felt so guilty, so I decided to make up for it by telling you guys." Mandy's mouth hung open, and Elorra and Lizzy looked at each other. Finally, "Why do you even like that guy?" Elorra asked, voicing everyone's opinion. "He's really not so bad!" Ralee said. "He's kind and sweet, and not half as bad as you would think." Mandy folded her arms. "Well explain his hatred of the Gryffindor house. And the Ravenclaw and the Hufflepuff." She looked vaguely smug. Ralee smiled. "That's because he was brought up that way. It's not his fault. If he weren't brought up that way then he wouldn't be so mean to all of the other houses. He's so mean to Harry, Ron and Hermione, because, well everyone dislikes someone, right? I'm trying to change his mind about the other houses now." "So as a change of subject.how can you make our dreams and noises?" Mandy asked. Lizzy and Elorra leaned forward again. Ralee pointed a finger at them and smiled. "Ah ah ah! That's my little secret. But I'll say this.I have a laboratory." Lizzy nodded. Oh." Hermione walked up to them. "Hello!" She looked at Ralee. "Aren't you Draco Malfoy's girlfriend?" She asked, sounding spiteful. Ralee smiled. "Yes. I was just telling your friends how I made their dreams using my laboratory." Hermione's eyes widened. "I've heard about that! Only very skilled witches and wizards can create dreams!" She narrowed her eyes. "Did you by any chance make my dream?" She looked hopeful. Ralee raised her eyebrows. "No." Hermione looked dejected. "Oh. Never mind then." "Well I best be on my way." Ralee said. "Talk to you all tonight!" She waved and was gone. Mandy, Elorra and Lizzy told Hermione the plan and she raised her eyebrows. "But how do you know she likes Ron?" She asked. Lizzy grinned. "Elorra and I have known Missy for years. Trust us, she likes him." Just then a pretty Ravenclaw passed by them. "She waved at Mandy, and Mandy waved back. "Who's that?" Elorra asked. "Oh that's Ellena Frances." Said Mandy. "She's really nice. She's a bit crazy.but that's all right. She's really funny. And smart too! She's helped me with lot's of homework and things." "Oh." Said Lizzy. "Well there's too many Hermione's in this school!" Elorra laughed. "No, there's only one Hermione!" She said. They all laughed, and finally made their way to the kitchens.
"Lizzy, how can we get Patrick to notice me?" Elorra asked on their way back. Hermione laughed. "You don't need to get him to notice you, he already does!" Elorra looked at her. "What?" Mandy nodded. "She's right Elorra. Patrick is always looking at you, and things." "Yeah." Lizzy nudged Elorra in the ribs. "You should try flirting with him every once in a while, to encourage him." She laughed. Hermione shook her head smiling. "Who do you fancy, Hermione?" Elorra asked to get the attention off of her." Hermione blushed. "What do you mean? I don't fancy anyone." "Oh yes you do!" Said Mandy. "And I bet I know who it is too. Joshua Biggs!" Hermione turned cherry colour.
About 15 minutes later, the girls all went up to the girls' dormitory, and plopped down on their beds, eating and chattering. "Hello Missy!" Lizzy chirped, sitting down next to Missy, on her bed. Missy was holding her Black Cat, Pineapple. "Why did you name your cat Pineapple?" Lizzy asked looking at the purring cat." Missy glared at her. "She looks like a Pineapple." Lizzy stared a little longer. Finally, "I just don't see that." Missy glared at her again. "Don' think I'm not mad at you. In fact, the only people I'm not mad at are Hermione and Mandy." Mandy grinned. "You should be mad at us too. We're only mad that we weren't there to help Lizzy and Elorra!" "Oh yeah!" Said Lizzy, giving Mandy a high five. Missy narrowed her eyes. "I really don't appreciate being locked up in a closet with-that-that-boy!" "Ooh." Said Elorra sarcastically. "Ouch. That must really hurt him." "Oh shut up." Missy said irritably. "Don't get mad at me!" Elorra said. "I happen to know what's good for you. And it's not good for you to hold a grudge against someone for that long, especially when they've already asked you for forgiveness! It's especially unusual for you, Missy, because you are usually a very forgiving person! What's wrong with you!?" "It's only because she likes him and she is trying to pretend not to," Said Mandy knowledgably. Missy whirled on Mandy. "Don't you talk to me about liking anyone!" She growled. "At least I like someone my own age! Ron isn't practically an auror or anything!" Lizzy's mouth dropped open and she looked at Hermione and Elorra with a grin on her face. Mandy looked angry. "Oh, so is that why you always get a nasty look on your face when I talk about Oliver? Because he's older than me? I thought you were better than that! You should know that age doesn't matter! Why is it such a big deal? He's only 18!" "Yes, 18! That's." She counted on her fingers. "Three years older than you!" "Actually it's two!" Mandy snapped. "And I don't really think that's any of your business!" They turned away from each other in a huff. Lizzy burst out laughing. "Do you realize what you just said, Missy? You just admitted you like Ron!" Hermione, Elorra, and Lizzy cracked up. Mandy turned around. "You did! She shrieked, willing to forgive and forget. She started laughing. Missy turned red. "I said no such thing!" "Yes you did!" Said Elorra. "You said, 'At least I like someone my own age, Ron isn't practically an auror or anything!'" Missy looked angry. "You're twisting my words around! Now leave me alone!" She flopped down on her bed and pulled the hangings around her bed, trying very hard to ignore the laughter.

It's especially unusual for you, Missy, because you are usually a very forgiving person! What's wrong with you!?" "It's only because she likes him and she is trying to pretend not to," Said Mandy knowledgably. Missy whirled on Mandy. "Don't you talk to me about liking anyone!" She growled. "At least I like someone my own age! Ron isn't practically an auror or anything!" Lizzy's mouth dropped open and she looked at Hermione and Elorra with a grin on her face. Mandy looked angry. "Oh, so is that why you always get a nasty look on your face when I talk about Oliver? Because he's older than me? I thought you were better than that! You should know that age doesn't matter! Why is it such a big deal? He's only 18!" "Yes, 18! That's." She counted on her fingers. "Three years older than you!" "Actually it's two!" Mandy snapped. "And I don't really think that's any of your business!" They turned away from each other in a huff. Lizzy burst out laughing. "Do you realize what you just said, Missy? You just admitted you like Ron!" Hermione, Elorra, and Lizzy cracked up. Mandy turned around. "You did! She shrieked, willing to forgive and forget. She started laughing. Missy turned red. "I said no such thing!" "Yes you did!" Said Elorra. "You said, 'At least I like someone my own age, Ron isn't practically an auror or anything!'" Missy looked angry. "You're twisting my words around! Now leave me alone!" She flopped down on her bed and pulled the hangings around her bed, trying very hard to ignore the laughter.
