--Chapter 3: Nighttime Pranks--

"Uh... ignore her," Kathrin, a girl with brown hair and green eyes, said as she stood in front of her friends in the doorway. "I think she needs to be taken away. Grandpa's fine, but I swear she lost what little she had like 20 years ago."

"I'm having a sleepover thing, wanna come?" Dyani asked. "We're taking everyone to the train tomorrow too."

"Oh, ok. That sounds fun," she said, looking at Draco, and then over at her grandmother, who had given up on the tabby and had moved on to talking to a lamp. "I think I'll go tell grandpa though. I'll meet you at your house in a bit."

"Okay."

Dyani, Raven, Devi, Draco, Elijah, Crabbe, and Goyle walked down the path to the sidewalk. A small owl that none of them had seen before flew over and landed on Devi's head.

"Oh. Hey you," she said, lifting the bird off her head. She took the envelope it was holding and it flew off. "I'll read it later," she said with a faint blush and tucked it in her back pocket.

"Secret admirer?" Draco said with a smirk. "You know who sent it, don't cha?"

"Yeah, I know who sent it, but that's really none of your business, now is it?"

"Just asking."

"Oh, oh! Please tell me! I won't tell anyone!" Elijah pleaded.

"Uh huh, sure," Devi said sarcastically.

"I promise I won't!"

"Yes you will! Everything I tell you, you turn around and tell that stupid Gryffindor girlfriend of yours!" Draco said.

"Gryffindor isn't stupid!" Devi told him. "I happen to be one, ya know!"

"I didn't say they were all stupid, just Alyssa."

"It's Marissa," corrected Elijah.

"Whatever, she's still a witch," said Devi.

"So are you!"

"Not like that!"

Draco opened the front door to their house and walked inside. The others followed and everyone sat down in the living room.

"There you are!" said his mother, walking in to the room and over to the coffee table in the center. She had a watering can and began to water the flower pot on the table. "You could have left a note saying where you were going."

"Mum, we were just outside," said Dyani.

"Yeah, just outside," Draco said.

"What do you all want to eat for dinner?"

"I think we should wait for Kathrin to decide on that one," said Raven. "You know how she likes to eat."

"Ok, you just come tell me and your father what you want when you decide. We'll be in the library if you need us," she said and left the room.

"You guys have a library in your home?!" Elijah asked in awe.

"What's wrong with a library in the house?" Dyani asked him.

"Libraries don't belong in houses! They belong down the street and around the corner!"

"I still don't understand. What's wrong with having them in the house? I bet Muggle houses have them too."

"Mine doesn't! Really rich Muggle homes do."

"And....?"

"How rich are you?"

Before either of the Malfoy twins could answer, there was a knock on the door. Draco walked over and opened it to find Kathrin.

"Hello," he said.

"Uh... hi?" she said, nervously.

"Well, are you gonna just stand there, or are you gonna come in?"

"Oh. Right." said Kathrin, as she walked in and put her trunk next to the others.

"Everyone else is in the living room."

"Ok," she said and followed Draco into the room.

"Hey Kat!" Dyani said as Kathrin sat down next to Draco, which was the last spot in the room to sit down. "What do you want for dinner?"

"I dunno. Pizza sounds good."

"What kind of pizza?"

"Ooo! A big pizza with everything on it!" said Goyle.

"Not everything... right?" Elijah asked, looking nauseous.

"Yes, everything!"

"Oh, hey Goyle, remember when the put bat wings on it?" asked Crabbe.

"Yeah! That was great!"

"Oh, and the one with the caviar! That one was delicious!"

"Uh, before you guys make Elijah sick, let's just get one with pepperoni's on it," said Draco, looking over at Elijah, who looked very pale.

"Just pepperonis, right?" Elijah asked, looking relieved.

Everyone laughed.

It was about nine thirty and the four girls were sitting in their tent in the backyard. Magic, Mabyna, and Kathrin's cat, Jinx were curled up on their owners pillows. They could hear laughter and assumed the boys were cracking jokes.

"What do you think this year is gonna be like?" Raven asked.

"I hope it'll be as fun as last year," Kathrin said. "Fred and George's fireworks were pure brilliance."

"Draco didn't think so," said Dyani.

"Oh, just 'cause one chased him 'round the castle for a couple hours?" said Devi.

"If I seem to remember correctly, Dyani, you couldn't stop laughing either," said Raven.

"It was funny," Dyani said with a Draco-like smirk.

"I hope we won't be seeing anymore of that Umblybridge woman, either," said Devi. "She was horrible. Stupid Inquisitorial Squad... Draco docked ten points from Gryffindor because I 'got put into the wrong house.'"

"Yeah, but then he gave you twenty for being our friend," said Raven.

"Like that mattered! Your stupid brother made us loose about two-hundred points!" Devi said, pointing at Kathrin.

"It's not my fault he's not liked by Draco," she said. "Did anyone else notice the silence?"

The girls stopped talking. They didn't hear anymore laughter and the silence was eerie.

"I bet Draco and his followers are up to something," said Devi.

"What would they be up to at-"Raven stopped to look at her watch, "nine thirty at night?"

"I know how to pull pranks and pulling them at nine thirty when you can obviously tell that we're awake is pretty retarded," said Kathrin.

"Giving your closest friends wet-willies aren't considered pranks," said Dyani.

"No, but placing fart-charms on first years and passing ghosts are," she replied with a giggle.

"So it was you who made the Gryffindor common room smell bad every time Sir Nicholas came in! That was disgusting!" Devi said and smacked Kathrin on the arm.

"Ow! That hur-" she stopped in the middle of her sentence.

"Hey, Kat! Ya zonin' out again?" Dyani said, waving her arm in front of Kathrin's face.

"I can see you. I thought I heard something."

"Don't strain yourself too hard, Kat, you might make your head explode," said Devi, looking worried.

The girls were very silent for about a half an hour, then, a light started to glow behind Kathrin's head.

"What was that?" whispered Raven.

"Put that light out, you twit!" said a voice outside.

"But-but-but-I'm 'fraud of the dark!" said a second voice.

"Do you want to wake them?" said the first voice.

"I don't like the dark!"

"God, you're worse than Dursley," the voice said. They automatically knew it was Draco.

"Hey, I heard that!" said a third voice, who they guessed was Elijah.

"Yeah, but you know what I don't hear?" said Draco.

"What?" said three voices.

"Listen you dimwits!" said Draco.

"But Draco, I don't hear anything!" said the second voice.

"DUH! They know we're here!" said the first voice.

The girls were practically suffocating themselves with their pillows, trying not to let a laugh out.

"Maybe they're asleep," said Elijah.

"Can we just get this over with? It's dark and scary!"

"We're standing ten feet away from my back door!"

"If Vincent doesn't like the dark, do we hafta do this?"

"I don't care if Crabbe doesn't like it, we're gonna do this! On the count of three..."

The girls were trying even harder not to laugh.

"One..."

They couldn't get up without laughing, so they decided to stay put.

"Two..."

What was the worst that could happen?

"Three!!" yelled Draco. Streams of what looked like toilet paper from the inside of the tent came flying across the top.

"I ran out!"

"Get a new pack!"

"Ok!"

All of a sudden, a square, heavy package fell down on the tent and sent it down to the ground.

"What the hell?!" shouted Dyani.

"You idiot!" shouted Draco. "You weren't supposed to throw the whole package! What if you hurt them?"

"Don't you mean 'what if you hurt Kathrin?'" said Elijah.

"Shut it Dursley," he snapped. "They're obviously awake now"

"Oh, so you're saying you like her?"

Draco didn't pay attention and ran over to the mess on the ground. "Are you guys ok?" he asked.

No one could hear anything, but the tent was moving. Elijah reached over and plucked the toilet paper package off of the top of the tent. "Maybe that'll help."

"How is that supposed to help?" asked Draco. "Crabbe already made the whole tent fall down! They're probably unconscious or something!"

"We're not unconscious!" said Raven, now out from under the tent. "You four are retarded!"

Dyani climbed out after her and said, "What were you doing?"

"I think they were trying to pull a prank on us. You guys aren't very good, now are you?" said Kathrin, looking very pissed off, as she climbed out from under the tent, holding her cat.

"Well sorry! Crabbe had to throw the whole friggin package of toilet paper on the tent!" said Elijah as he helped Devi out from under the tent.

"Now I'm even more scared of tents!" said Raven.

"Now where are we gonna sleep?" asked Devi. "I can't exactly prop up a tent. And we're underage! We can't fix it using magic!"

"We'll just go inside and camp out on the living room floor."

"No can do," said Dyani from the back door. "My parents locked us out."

"Great. Now what do we do?" asked Kathrin. All the girls looked at Draco.

"I can't put up a tent. I already tried to help dad today," said Draco, backing away from the girls looks.

"Then what are we supposed to do?" asked Devi. She looked at Kathrin, who had one of her 'plotting' faces on. "Kat, you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, just dandy. Could I talk to you guys in private for a sec?" she said, sounding barley there. The girls walked away from the boys.

"Stay there. If we don't get to sleep in a tent, neither do you," said Dyani, pointing to the boys.

"But I didn't want to sleep in one anyways," whined Raven.

"What did you want to talk to us so badly about?" Devi asked Kathrin.

"We let them go back into their tent, then we do something to it so that it comes down too!" Kathrin whispered.

"There's no point in doing so, but what the hell," said Dyani.

"We'll figure out how as we go along," said Kathrin.

"We gotta do something else to them too! They traumatized my life even more!" said Raven.

"What if... no..." Dyani said.

"What? What were you thinking?" asked Kathrin.

"What were you thinking?" Devi asked her.

"Something to do with make-up," said Kathrin.

"Oh, hey, I have my make-up purse with me. I've got lip-gloss, eye-shadow, mascara, the works," said Devi.

"Okay, great." The girls walked back over to the boys, who were messing with the heap of canvas on the ground.

"We've all decided that we forgive you for what you did and you're welcome to go back into your tents and sleep. We're just gonna get our stuff out from under the tent and sleep on top of it," explained Dyani.

"Well, can we at least help you guys get your stuff out? I mean, I feel kinda guilty," said Draco.

"Guys, savor the moment, my brother feels sorry for us."

"No, seriously."

"If you must."

The four boys began rummaging through the destroyed tent and pulling things out one by one. When they were all finished, they went back into their tent, looking satisfied with the prank they had pulled.

The girls fixed up their 'beds' on top of the tent. They stayed up for an hour, staring at the stars twinkling above them. When they could hear Crabbe and Goyle snoring, they figured they were in the clear.

"Okay, go get your make-up bag," said Kathrin.

"Got it," said Devi.

"That was fast."

"We were sleeping in a tent, remember? It's not like it two miles away for Pete's sake."

"Oh, yeah." Devi rolled her eyes. "Follow me."

The girls began to follow Kathrin. They got about two feet away from the tent entrance and the girls stopped, dead in their tracks. Someone was moving inside the tent. Suddenly, the tent unzipped and Elijah climbed out, looking not even half awake. He walked around the Malfoy family's back yard for about five minutes. He then stumbled back to the tent and crawled back inside, zipping it back up.

"Okay then," said Dyani. "That's my brother's friend, I'm sure of it now."

"Let's just go," said Raven. "The sooner we are outta their tent, the better."

Kathrin began to slowly slink closer to the entrance. She then began humming her own theme song.

"What's with the humming?" asked Dyani.

"It's a theme song! I've always wanted to try it out. I think I wrote during Potions last year. D'ya like?" she asked excitedly.

"No, it's stupid, and you're gonna wake them up!"

Devi reached out and slowly unzipped the tent. It got caught on something at the top.

"It's stuck!" said Devi.

"Well, un-stuck it!" Kathrin said. ((It's supposed to be un-stuck))

"I can't!"

"I'm fine with it being stuck," said Raven. "That means we don't hafta go in."

"Hurry!" said Kathrin.

"I'm trying! It won't budge!" said Devi.

"Move over!" said Dyani, who then sounded like her brother when he talked to Harry. She grabbed the zipper, pushed it back, and then pulled it forward, opening the tent. The three girls looked inside to see Draco up against the edge, then Elijah, Crabbe, and Goyle. Elijah's blankets were in a bundle down at his feet, probably from his midnight stroll. Luckily, all four boys were asleep on their backs.

"Aww. He's so cute when he sleeps," said Kathrin, looking over at Draco.

"Pfft. Not when he snores," said Dyani. "Just, don't droll on me!"

"Can we hurry up? I don't like being in a tent!" said Raven.

"Ok, everyone pick a guy to give em a makeover," said Devi.

"I got Draco!" said Kathrin.

"Well we figured that."

"Ugh, since no one else is gonna pick either of these two blokes, I'll do Goyle," said Raven.

"I'll do Crabbe then," said Dyani. "I really, really, didn't want to have to touch him, but oh well."

"I guess I'll do Elijah," said Devi as she handed out the 'weapons.' "I just hope none of his stupidity rubs off on me."

"You don't have Crabbe."

"Or Goyle," said Raven.

"I'm happy!" said Kathrin.

"Shut up!" said all three girls.

The girls were in the tent for about a half hour.

"Elijah keeps moving!" said Devi.

"Anyone got duct tape?" asked Kathrin. "We could put it down so they won't move."

"Yes, Kathrin, I can magically produce a roll of duct tape out of thin air," said Dyani.

"You can actually," said Raven.

"Done!" said Devi. "His lipstick is all over the place because he kept moving, but hey, he still looks stupid."

"Didn't know make-up could fix that," said Kathrin. "I'd have used that on Harry when he was 5."

"You didn't know he existed when you were 5," said Dyani.

"Yeah, I did. He didn't know I existed."

"Whatever. I'm done too."

"Me too," said Raven, backing away from Goyle.

"Are you done yet, Kat?"

"Huh? Oh, uh, no," said Kathrin, shyly.

"Back away from him. Let's see what you've done."

"Uh... no."

"Kat, move," said Devi, her patience wearing thin.

"Fine," said Kathrin, as she backed away from Draco.

"That's not done!"

"You've barley touched him!" said Raven.

"She didn't touch him," said Dyani.

"Give me that!" said Devi, as she snatched the tube of lipstick from Kathrin's hand. She did Draco's lips and then the rest of his face.

"Can we get out of here now? I still hate tents," said Raven.

"Yeah," said Dyani.

Devi, Dyani, and Raven climbed out of the tent. Kathrin, however, stayed behind to look at Draco one last time.

"Are you coming?"

"Oh, yeah," she said as she crawled towards the opening. She stood up, and tripped over Elijah's feet. She fell and rolled out of the tent, which came crashing down on the boys. "Oops. That could be a problem."

"Ya think, genius?" said Devi as she helped Kathrin up.

"What the-" said a voice from inside the tent.

After about ten minutes of the girls laughing and watching the boys try to get out of the tent, the boys were finally out. Draco didn't look too happy.

"What was that for?!" he said, giving the girls a very pissed off look. The only things the girls could do was laugh. None of the boys realized what the girls had done to them.

"Oh, nothing," said Dyani. "C'mon girls, let's get some sleep."

The four girls walked over to their heap of canvas and lay back down in their sleeping bags. They were far enough away from the boy's tent that they wouldn't be able to hear a conversation.

"How long do you think it'll take them to notice?" asked Raven as she looked back at the boys, who were now trying to get their possessions out from under the tent.

"I think when everyone gets up in the morning," said Dyani.

"If we want to get the full effect of their shock, we can't laugh or tell them anything about make-up tomorrow morning," said Kathrin.

"What are you, the prank expert?" asked Devi.

"Let's see you figure out how to turn Mrs. Norris purple!"

"That was you?! That was brilliant!"

The boys and girls eventually drifted off to sleep.
