The Gender-Swap Boot Camp Challenge: Dare

The "As Many As You Want" Competition: 'Why am I such a moron?', unpleasantly squishy, smaller and smaller

"Today is Dare Day!" Georgia screamed as she ran down the girls' dorms stairs. Everyone turned in the direction of the loud screaming, but when they realized it was one of the twins, they resumed what they were doing. Georgia jumped over the top of the Gryffindor common room couch and landed on top of her sleeping sister.

"Geddoff me, you cow!" Freida cried as she shoved her laughing twin onto the ground. She rubbed her back and stomach before sitting up. "Now what were you screaming about?"

"Today's Dare Day! Don't you remember?" Georgia asked with a wide smile.

"Do we really need a special day for dares, Georgie?" Freida said, running a hand through her short hair.

"No, but today is still special. The fourth Thursday of every other month is Dare Day!" she said excitedly.

"I see. Well, okay then, I'll accept your holiday," Freida said as she stood up. "So what's the dare?"

Georgia looked about the room until her eyes fell on a lone figure in the corner of the common room. A tall brown haired boy sat by a small table by the window, using the natural light to read. His soft brown eyes moved quickly across the pages as his mouth muttered every word. Georgia knew of her sister's little crush on the brown-haired bookworm but that she'd never do anything about it.

"I dare you to ask Herman to Hogsmeade this Saturday," Georgia said with a smirk.

Freida's mouth dropped open before she sputtered, "I can't do that Georgie."

"Is it that whole girl-asking-the-boy-out thing, Freida? Because I think we've kind of matured enough for it not to be a big deal," Georgia said innocently.

"No not that! Rhonda's had a crush on her for ages," Freida cried.

"Since when do you care about Rhonda? This is just Hogsmeade, not a wedding proposal," Georgia said with a raised eyebrow.

Freida's eyes shifted from Georgia to Herman. "Are you chickening out, Freida?" Georgia baited. She knew if anything would get Freida moving would be a little light teasing.

Freida narrowed her eyes and said, "Hell no. But if I have to do this, you have to ask Luno."

Now Georgia's eyes widened. Luno was known for being kind of looney. Georgia had never had a true conversation with the dreamy eyed wizard but she couldn't deny the fact that he fascinated her.

She grinned evilly at Freida. "I think I better end of this stick. Deal," Georgia said as she grabbed Freida's hand and shook it quickly before Freida could back out. She threw her long hair over her shoulder before walking out of the common room in search of Luno.

"Hey, Herman," Freida said with a lopsided grin as she fell into the small chair next to Herman's. "What are you reading?"

Herman looked over at her over the top of his book with an annoyed expression. He gave a soft sigh before focusing back on his book and saying, "The Secret Garden."

Freida asked, "Is that some Muggle book?"

Herman answered, "Yes, it is."

Freida sat there, unsure of what else to say. She hadn't really come prepared when she walked over. What did you say to someone like Herman who knew practically everything and wasn't easily impressed. Her knowledge of jokes and pranks weren't going to wow him.

"Did you want something, Freida?" Herman asked impatiently.

"No, I mean, yes! I did want something!" Freida cried and then held her hand over her mouth. Why was she acting like such a goofball? It's just Herman. She shouldn't have been affected by the way the sun shone onto his curly hair, separating it into various shades of brown. She shouldn't have been affected by his chocolate brown eyes. This was just Herman.

There was a pause before Herman had to ask, "What did you want?"

Freida froze. Freida hadn't realized she had been silent for a few minutes. She scratched the back of her neck nervously, "Well, as you should know, this weekend is a Hogsmeade weekend. I'll be going, and I was wondering if you were going too. Since we would both be there, then we would be there together, and then maybe even go there together."

Another uncomfortable pause and Freida wanted to run. This was just too weird. That was probably the stupidest sentence she had ever tried to string together.

Why am I such a moron? Herman would never really agree to go with her. Their personalities clashed too much. She was spontaneous and loud while Herman was conservative and quiet. They would have had a horrible time any way. Maybe Freida still had time to make a run for it. She'd take the mickey from Georgia later.

But then Herman gave her a small smile and closed his book. He said quietly, "I'd like that, Freida."

"Luno!" Georgia called out when she finally spotted Luno walking among some students heading out onto the grounds.

The blond haired wizard turned to his name and watched as the spunky redhead walked towards him. "Hello, there."

Georgia smiled up at the boy, he was actually a bit taller than her, and said, "Luno, come. Walk with me." She linked her arm with his and led him out onto the grounds.

"I've heard a lot of interesting things about you," Georgia said as they walked across the grass.

"I've heard about those things as well. Hogwarts students aren't best at talking quietly. They think I'm absolutely nutters," Luno said plainly.

Georgia opened her mouth, unsure of how to respond to that. Normally she had an answer for everything, a witty remark at the tip of her tongue, but the bluntness and indifference of the statement caught her offguard.

Luno noticed her hesitance, even though he wasn't looking at her, "It's quite alright. No need to be alarmed. I'm used to it to the point where it no longer matters, really. What they choose to say about me is their own business, not mine."

Georgia nodded, admiring Luno's quiet resilience. "If they really find the time to talk about you, then they have nothing better to do with their time," she said. But then she realized her words could be read another way and she blushed. Why am I such a moron?

Luno just nodded. If he picked up on it, he didn't say.

"What were doing before I called to you?" Georgia asked to change the subject.

"I was just going to the Forest to feed the Threstrals. Hagrid lets me do it every once in awhile," Luno said.

Georgia heard about the animals and had seen them in books but not with her own eyes. They seemed so ethereal, with their tightly stretched skin and hollowed eyes. "Why would you want to do that?"

Luno just said, "They're beautiful, gentle creatures, not the monsters people think them to be."

Georgia was a bit scared to meet the creatures up close but she let Luno lead her just the same.

They stopped by Hagrid's hut first to get the meat for the threstrals. Georgia grimaced at the bloody smell of the rotting flesh but Hagrid just laughed, before she and Luno left for the enclosure.

They stood out in the empty field and Georgia waited before she heard rustling in the bushes. She turned to Luno who had a wide smile on his face before he reached into the bag of meat.

"Here," he said as he handed her a piece.

Georgie took it hesitantly, the flesh unpleasantly squishy in her hand. Now how was she going to feed a carnivorous beast she couldn't see? "What if they bite my hand?" she screamed, slightly regretting coming here.

Luna just chuckled, "They won't." He walked over to her and held out her hand, "One's coming close to you. Hold it out to him."

Georgia did as she said and was marvelled as the piece of meat slowly got smaller and smaller in her hand. There was a soft nuzzling against her hand before she saw Luno's piece of meat disappear as well.

After a few minutes, the bag of meat had been depleted. Luno said that six threstrals and three foals had come to eat and they were now just milling about the clearing. Luno was currently reaching up and rubbing one, his hands moving through the air against something only he could see. He then turned to her and Georgia felt pinned like a portrait nailed to a wall. He seemed to reading her, his gaze focused only on her, before he relaxed and said, "You're not like the others."

"What?" she asked in confusion. She hadn't even said a word.

"You're still here. By now, others would have made some excuse to run off," Luno said.

"I have no reason to run off. You're very fascinating, Luno. People should see that side of you instead of just the looney part," Georgia said with a grin.

Luno just smiled back and then turned to her threstral.

"Hey, there's a Hogsmeade weekend coming up. Want to go with me?" Georgia asked.

Luno said, "That'd be nice."
