"Psst. Wake up!" I felt someone grab my hand.

"Murhedudnsj." I mumbled, then spoke, my words still a bit slurred. "What… up, Loran?"

"Ravenclaw badges, remember?"

I jolted upright. "Oh, sh*t, I forgot all about that!" I pulled my hood on, slapped my crown on my head, then grabbed by firebolt. "I'm ready, where's Himalaya and Lori?"

Lorander smiled. "Look out the window."

I turned around and saw Himalaya and Lori floating by the window, talking. "Hey, girls! Took you long enough to wake up, Shade!" I bumped Lori's shoulder playfully.

"Come on, girls! Let's go." Himalaya shouted as the wind whipped her golden curls.


We flew to Ravenclaw Tower as fast as we can and snuck into their common room.

"Wait, no. I have a better idea." I whispered, noticing the sleeping Ravenclaw prefect.

I took off his Ravenclaw badge. "One of you," I whispered to the girls. "Take this and pin this badge onto the Gryffindor prefect. Take the Gryffindor prefect badge and bring it here. The rest of us will pull a few more pranks."

Lori took the badge and nodded, tossing her glossy brown hair behind her and flew off in the cool night air.

I noticed a sheet of paper by the Ravenclaw. It was the essay for McGonagall.

I took out my own parchment and took out my self-writing quill. I scribbled on my parchment, adding to the Ravenclaw's pretty boring conclusion: In conclusion, I have nothing to say about the art of transfiguration, but I have something to say about Professor McGonagall. It has come to my attention that professor McGonagall is a strict, old lady with no sense of humor whatsoever. Even my sister Shade Potter is better, and she is a prat.

I then added Harry Potter was here, before Lori came in. She read what I wrote on the paper and giggled. I hushed her, taking the Gryffindor badge and pinned it on the Ravenclaw.

"Mischief managed." I whispered, motioning for my Thunderstorms to follow me, flying away in the cool night air. Little did I know, we're going to run into someone very familiar…


I was flying so fast that I barely saw the figure flying towards us until we crashed together with a WHAM!

My felt myself falling. Terrified, I lunged, trying to grab onto anything. I felt my hand being grasped by a warm hand.

With a grunt, the figure pulled me up onto his broom. I opened my eyes, and found that I was directly face to face, with… Draco Malfoy.

I felt myself blushing unwillingly. "T-Thanks." I stammered, looking around wildly for my broom.

"Looking for this?" I spun around to see Harry holding my broom, barely holding onto y NImbus 2000. I reached forward, but he retreated. "I'm bringing you and your girlfriends to Fred and George."

I laughed. "Just you?" I looked around for Himalaya, Loran, and Lori. I found them, tied with a rope around their middle in the hands of Ron, Hermione, and Neville Longbottom.

I snorted as I saw Neville struggling to get a strong grip on his broom, knuckles white, face pale. Hermione was only slightly better, her knuckles deadly white.

"PUT. THEM. DOWN!" I heard Draco snarl.

He flew in circles around Harry's friends. Neville was so terrified, he fainted, falling to the ground below. I heard a scream. I saw with horror that Lori was falling with him, desperately trying to fly, but Neville was too heavy.

I saw that Harry was distracted. He was now climbing onto my firebolt, about to fly down to rescue Neville who was about fifty feet below us.

"Oh no you don't." I said, grasping on the end of my broom's handle. I saw Harry's Nimbus right below him, so I kicked Harry off my broom.

I went into a dive, desperately trying to catch up to Lori who was now a good seventy feet below. Sixty, fifty, forty, thiry-five, twenty, gotcha!

I was level with Lori now. Without a second to spare, I used my knife and cut the rope binding her and Neville together. Lori flew upwards, Neville fell down. He landed with a splash into the Black Lake.

"Lori!" I shouted. "Help me bring him up, he can't swim!"

Lori looked down, then up. "Leave him! He's Harry's problem now!"

I hesitantly followed Lori. Then something swooped down dragging a broomstick which was waving wildly in the wind, held tight by Harry's broom.

Neville's broom smacked me in the face, almost causing me to fall off of my broom again.

Sure now that Harry can take care of the problem, I soared upward, halting in front of my friends. Himalaya and Loran were free now, Ron and Hermione nowhere in sight.

They all cheered when I came up to them, about a couple of seconds after Lori. "Glad you're safe. Can't lose our favorite Thunderstorm Queen, can we?" Loran said winking. Draco's mouth dropped open. "So that's why Harry was going to take you to Fred and George!"

"Exactly, since we-"

"Want to know who's our rival!" Fred and George appeared out of nowhere.

"But since you are all hooded up-" Fred started.

"We don't know who you are!" George finished.

I glanced at my prankesters and Draco. "Well, I guess that's our que to-"

"Leave!" Draco finished for me, and we Slytherins all flew off as fast as we could.

We were in the Slytherin Common Room when I had an idea. "Guys, tomorrow's Halloween. Let's plan a prank for tomorrow."

My Thunderstorms smiled. "Yup, definitely, just no more sneaking to common rooms at night unless you have something that can turn us invisible."

I thought hard. "The Invisibility Potion! It's a potion that lets us become invisible for a desired amount of time. But if brewed wrong, there will be severe consequences."

The girls gulped. "Well, we're lucky we have the best brewer in all of Hogwarts with us!" Lorander said with a kind of quivering voice, forcing a weak smile.

That was true, well, Snape would always be better. Speaking of which, I need to go to the library to look up the recipe. "Be right back, I just need to borrow the recipe."

Loriander nodded, munching on a chocolate frog. I looked at the clock. I had ten minutes till curfew. I can make it if I hurry…

I ran out of the common room. I sped past hundreds of portraits till I reached the library with still six minutes left. I began searching for potion books, and immediately found the right one. When I was about to check it out, someone grabbed my shoulder. I spun around, wand raised, but then I saw who it was. "Draco?" I murmured. "What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to do this." He leaned forward and crashed his lips against mine. I froze, a storm of emotions flashing in my mind. I like Draco, sure, but do I feel this way for him? Oh god yes. I immediately leaned in, letting my worries vanish.

Then we heard a gasp. "WHAT. THE. BLOODY. HELL. IS. GOING. ON. HERE?!" Harry shouted, Ron and Hermione at his heels.

I smirked. "Making out, is there a problem?"

Hermione shook with anger. "This is a library, a place to find and read books! Not a place to make out!" And the rule says no making out till you're fourth year or above(I made that up)!

I rolled my eyes. "Screw the rules. Let us have some fun. Come on, Draco."

Hermione looked as if she was about to cry. "But Malfoy's your brother's worst enemy! How can you do this to him?"

I scoffed. "Harry never mattered to me, Granger. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to leave before you start crying. It's past curfew, by the way, thought you'd like to know, Miss Rule Abider." I shot back before I left, book clutched in my hand. Well, this was a crappy day.
