A/N- Sorry for the long wait. We all have our individual fanfics to work on, so this one got put on hold for a while. However, we're back, and we're ready to roll! On with the next chapter!
Chapter 3- Misbehavin'
After being dragged off by the Golden Trio, Mini spent her next few minutes shooting down plans for further Halloween mischief. The four of them were walking the width of the hall, and when they finally reached the table holding the left over Halloween treats, Mini turned to Harry.
"Excuse me," she said, stepping away for a moment to grab a cauldron cake and some various candies. "Sorry, Harry, but I missed the main feast."
Harry nodded, knowing well where she had been during the feast. "That's all right."
With that, he turned and started up a conversation with Ron and Hermione. Mini, dumping a bit of her food to gain some speed, took this time to escape and see where Jade had gone. She hadn't gone far before she witnessed Jade being led away by her father.
"That's not good," Mini muttered.
Turning, she saw Draco Malfoy in the distance, crushing a dropped pastry. Obviously, he believed that no one was watching. Mini smiled deviously.
Time for some fun, she thought, approaching the Slytherin prince.
As she came nearer, Draco looked up and had the expression that he had just dumped a whole bag of lemon drops into his mouth.
"Summers," he said with tightened lips.
"Could you possibly be enjoying such a simple act of destruction?" Mini said, smiling as Malfoy's face became shocked and, yet, equally spiteful. "I would have expected that from Crabbe or Goyle, but you, Malfoy?"
Malfoy sneered but was ready with a comeback, nonetheless.
"Gryffindor. Why are you hanging with the Potter Fan Club, Many Summers?" he shot.
Mini grinned, enjoying this banter. "I pay no attention to the separation of houses. You know this because you spit every time Jade and I are in a discussion not involving curses. What you really wanted to ask, Draco, is the whereabouts of my dear friend Jade," she said.
Draco's eyes darted away, desperately trying to come up with a retort. Mini huffed slightly.
"She's busy with her father," she said.
A thought seemed to hit Draco, as his eyebrow raised with the slightest bit of realization. Mini shook her head.
"No, she was most likely outside when you went searching for her. She obviously didn't want to speak to you."
This turned Draco's pale color into a bright red. Practically growling with rage, he hissed, "What do you want, Summers?"
Mini laughed. "To give you a tip, Draco."
Draco looked off to both his sides, apparently checking to see if the other Slytherins were watching. When he was confident that they weren't, he still spoke between semi-closed lips when he said, "Go on."
Mini didn't care to keep her side of the conversation secret or otherwise. When she replied, it was through normal, if not smirking, lips.
"Other than the obvious, you lack one thing Jade can't go without. Draco, you're simply not bad enough," she said.
Draco's eyes widened. "Excuse me? Not bad enough? What are you, playing me?"
Like a fiddle, is what Mini thought. However, she said, "She likes her guys bad, so bad that perhaps they taste death--are death. Cheer up, Dracie."
Mini took a moment to remember what Tariq looked like. Then, she added, "She does like blond hair. Oh and leather pants are a plus. And don't forget, black silk."
Draco's eyes narrowed in suspicion. Eyeing the Gryffindor girl carefully, he asked, "Why are you helping me?"
"I'm not," Mini replied innocently enough. "I'm just
telling you what she likes."
"How do I know that you're not
playing some sort of idiot joke? How do you know what she likes?"
Mini smiled, turning wistfully. Over her shoulder, just before she walked away, she said, "Because I saw her boyfriend."
And then the devious Gryffindor walked away, leaving Draco with his mouth agape. Once she was a few feet away, she giggled to herself.
That was fun. I can't believe he was considering my advice, she thought. Then, mentally shrugging, she thought, Then again, I can't believe I was telling the truth about Jade's preferences.
Mini exited the hall and started up the corridors towards the common rooms. She stopped short when she saw Jade talking with a Ravenclaw girl that most people referred to as "G."
"I'll bet she's still not off the hook with Snape," Mini muttered.
Deciding against her previous destination, she turned and headed back to the Great Hall.

Marnea grinned, thinking. "Well, it was more of an idea I had during class. Would you like to help me play a prank?"
After the Head Girl said this, she glanced around, looking for anyone who might be listening in. After deciding that no one was around, she added, "It's on the Weasley twins. Surely your father can't object to that?"
I hope she helps, Marnea thought. I don't know if I can pull this off on my own.
Jade leaned against a nearby wall, thinking. Finally, she asked, "What's the prank?"
"Oh, just something small. As Head Girl, I've got access to a lot of common room passwords."
She paused, allowing the magnitude of her words to sink in. When she was sure they had, she continued.
"It wouldn't be on the twins, per say, but rather on the whole of Gryffindor house. Don't worry. I can all but guarantee that we won't be caught."
"The whole of Gryffindor house?" Jade asked. She sighed, thinking it over. Finally, not wanting to pass up the chance for some quick fun, she said, "I'm in, just so long as no one gets hurt. When do we do this? If we do it now, I can get Mini to cover for us."
Marnea shook her head. "No, I'll need a few days to get the supplies."
"Okay, whenever you're ready. Right now, though, I'm going to go to the Great Hall to speak with Mini, I need her advice on something," Jade said, pushing off of the wall.
"Sureā¦but don't you have to go talk to Snape?" Marnea asked, pointing in the direction of the dungeons.
Jade winked at the Ravenclaw. "He won't notice if I'm gone for just a few more minutes, will he?"
Marnea laughed. "No, I guess he won't. Tell you what, I'll send you an owl when I get everything I need."
Marnea then turned, hearing some stifled laughter and caught sight of the Ravenclaw and the Slytherin making trouble again. She sighed.
"I have to go now, though. Until then," she said.
With that, she turned and walked away. Jade smiled.
"Yes, until then," she said to herself.
What will Mini think of this, she thought, walking back towards the great hall.
End Notes: Okay, so, what did you think? I hope everyone liked it. Please review!
