"When I was raised, I was raised to be open minded, I grew up in a muggle town."
"Muggle are No-Maj right?" I asked not being used enough to the word yet.
"Yes, non magicians." She said and she sighed in thoughts. "So my mum was a Gryffindor and my dad a Ravenclaw. Almost first Slytherin in my family, so anyway I didn't want to tell my blood status or better I didn't even know what that was. When I first came here, I was barely used to the word muggle so yeah. Basically that's the reason for the whole Slytherin wing to hate me. I got this room in my first year after someone poisoned my candy, because I was a 'mudblood', making me throw up for at least three days. Normally only special persons get rooms for themselves. Seems like I am a special person, or was until you came. But I'm glad anyway since it was really scary sometimes. "
" Wow that was a sick story. They sound mean. Well don't listen to them I'm going to stand up for you now. As my friend. My first Slytherin friend. "
I smiled at the strawberry blonde haired girl as she teared up I hugged her. She was burying her face into my shoulder." I've been alone for such a long time. "She sniffed." Without anyone, because I didn't want to be a mean dickhead."She cried.
" Shh Shh it's okay I'm here now. I like your attitude, you're brave and kind. Shouldn't you be in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor?"
" Well I guess even the sorting hat makes mistakes, I don't think you belong here either, you have this hero attitude. " She rubbed her eyes.
To be honest I wanted her to smile again, that was why I decided, ask her something after we talked for a while."Hey it's the first day I know we have lessons tomorrow, but we should prank on someone tonight." I remebered a few pranks he had played an enemy nack in America, well not a real enemy but we taught a jerk a lesson and became friends. With him afterwards. Also I knew I shouldn't get into trouble the first day of school but anyway, I asked so I couldn't change it anymore.
"What kind of Y/n?" She asked.
"I will tell you." I started to smile widely then told her the whole plan. Since Malfoy didn't know my owl yet....I wasn't sure if he'd recognize his own... I wanted to take my owl for this prank. I actually wasn't sure who to chose as our so called victim, but since Mary didn't seem to like Malfoy I just agreed.
I took out a paper and wrote on it in my prettiest handwriting:
Dear Draco Malfoy,
I've wanted to tell you something. It's more like a confession. I'd be pleased if you'd come in the common room today 11 pm when everyone's asleep. I hope I can see you there.
In love the girl you know
I took out my favorite perfume and sprayed some of it on the paper after carefully folding it and making a waxcharacter on it. At the bottom of the letter Mary had pressed her lips with some lipstick. Then I gave it to my owl and made her fly. It was ink, which would disappear after being opened and read.
"You know what? I just remebered now. Malfoy has a single room. Snape gave it to him, because of his so called whiny attitude."
"Great couldn't be better! Are you able to open these windows?" I asked.
"Yes of course. What are you planning?"
"Are you good on your broom?"
" I'd like to say so." She smiled proudly.
"I will make it a two part prank. While I'm pranking him in the common room prepare the second prank in his room I'll come later and watch the show." I grinned.
"Settled!" Mary and I gave each other high five then carefully prepared the prank. It was a difficult spell which I was putting on our sheets making them look like the person we desire. But as soon as he'd get close enough to the person of his desire it would just turn into a monster. It means no harm, but surely scares the person.

It was finally time to play our prank on Malfoy. I hide behind a couch on which one of the sheets was. It looked like a doll in human size to everyone, but to Malfoy since the spell was for him it must look or better transform into a person of his desire. I pitted the person, but even Malfoy must like someone. Only him and the person herself could see it. It wasn't even necessary for him to know it, the spell knew what his heart was thinking. He came down two minutes past eleven.
"Late for a date with someone who wants to confess." I whispered to myself and couldn't help myself but chuckle. His hair was not gelled as it used to be. The smell of his own perfume was all over the room now. I catched myself with the dumb thought that his perfume wasn't that bad. Then he looked at the sheets. I hoped he wouldn't catch me, since I was hiding behind the couch on which the sheet was laying.
"Y/n was that you?" He asked looking at the sheet which I couldn't see. But when he said my name my heart stopped. Why me? Did someone hear Mary and me talking about that and warned him? "Listen I know I was mean today, I'm sorry but I have a reputation." He sat down next to the sheet. That was the moment when it turned into a scary monster with sharp teeth. Malfoy cried out as he jumped and ran away. I quickly ran into my room got my broom and flew to Malfoys window which was lightly opened. Mary was waiting there. I got out my wand and swung it to continue the magic.
"Why doesn't it stop! Help me someone help me!" Malfoy cried and yelled as the sharp teeth monster appeared again. Making me look like an ugly potato with sharp teeth. I was kind of disgusted be the look I had when I was a monster like sheet. But I so tried to hold my laughter just as Mary. But when Malfoy actually started to cried out louder. I thought I needed to end the prank just now. I got my wand, but it slipped out of my hand. Both Mary and I flew down to catch it. When I came up again, someone already saved Malfoy. What a cry baby.
"They don't even look that scary." I sighed as I spied through the window.
"That was a strong magic trick." The professor I used to know as Snape hissed in a sharp cold tone.
"Professor Snape what was that?" Malfoy asked scared. He must be still under shock otherwise he wouldn't be so nice.
"Shut up Malfoy." Snape went towards the window. I hurried to hide above the window, it was almost to late for Mary. He almost spotted her then yelled something which Mary couldn't hear anymore since she flew away. I couldn't hear it either since I was also flying away.

Shortly before we layed down Mary said up once again.
"That was fun. Felt like a equal revanche to Malfoy, for burning my hair last year. He said it was all an accident but it wasn't."
"He did burn your hair?" I scanned her hair with a shocked gaze.
"Yes what you see is a magic wig. It recreates my original hair." Mary answered.
"Oh my Lord I should have scared him more." I snapped hating myself.
"You did way enough to make me feel happy again. Good night Y/n."
"Night Mary."
