Ginny

"Hey Ginny, want to play truth or dare? Just us Gryffindors," Lavender invited me.

"Who's playing?" I asked. After our last game of spin the bottle, I learned to NEVER play with certain Gryffindors.

"Just you, me, Parvati, Dean, Seamus, Colin, Denis, Chloe, Richard, Joan, Jean, Cyrus, Ron, Harry, and Jake," she smiled at me. Just a few? Can she count? That's fifteen people!

"I don't know. Can I bring Hermione?" I asked, hoping she'll take her invitation back.

"Sure thing. If it makes you feel better, then who am I to stop you? Meet us at the common room," she smiled for one last time and left.

Great. Not only am I stuck with Lavender, but I also dragged Hermione into this. I hope she'll forgive me.

-o-o-o-

"Ginny! I said no and that's my final answer!" Hermione all but shouted in my face.

"Come on Hermione! I don't want to get stuck with Lavender and Parvati all night. They're my friends but when they play a game, it get pretty Slytherin-ish. If you love me, you'll come," I made my infamous puppy dog eyes.

"Ginny, I refuse to join. Just because you can make really good puppy dog eyes, doesn't mean I'll agree to anything you want," she looked away from me.

"Look into these eyes, Hermione. Look at these eyes and tell me no,"

She hesistated for a moment before finally looking at me.

"Gin, your not going to... Stop that! Gin... Okay fine! You win!"

"It's not my fault you can't resist me," I smiled as I led us down to the common room.

This will be an interesting night. Yes it will.

-o-o-o-

"Isn't there any other dare? I mean why in the world would he believe that? Even a hippogriff won't believe me," I have to agree with hermione in this. I think Parvati lost her marbles! Who in the right mind would believe that?

"Hermione's right. Everyone knows that they hate each other. The only thing that's keeping them from killing each other is Azkaban," I defended my best friend.

What were they thinking? Surely they know better than to mess with a Slytherin. Doing that stupid dare is like signing your own death warrant.

Sigh. Sometimes I think I'm the only sane person in Gryffindor besides Hermione.

"That's her dare. She has to do it. It's not that bad. It could be worse," Parvati said.

Note to self: stay away from Parvati.

"Just give her another dare. Any dare but that. Come on!" Ron whined. Gotta love Ron. Sometimes, I'm really glad that he's not a heartless git all the time.

"Rules are rules. Once we say the dare, there's no changing it," Seamus grinned at us.

"I knew it. Hermione Granger a.k.a. miss-know-it-all a.k.a. bookworm is too cowardly to do it. Parvati, you owe me ten galleons!" Lavender took Parvati's bag and started looking for her money.

"Hermione! Don't be such a scardy cat! If you're too scared to do it then why did you join the game?"

"It's my last year in Hogwarts. I want to do something I don't normally do," She truthfully answered.

"Exactly! This is the perfect dare. All you have to do is find Malfoy and tell him that you love him. It will be hilarious. What are you waiting for? Go on,"

"But what if he laughs at me and you know it's not true,"

"Well, it's just a dare,"

Just a dare? Just a dare! For Merlin's sake, it's a bloody suicide mission! It's a good thing Mione values her life.

I smiled as I realized that she's not going to do it. I know she won't. She risked her whole life to fight for muggle rights, and now she can live in peace. I'm very proud if my soon-to-be sister-in-law. That is until I saw the determination in her face.

She nodded her head and walked out of the common room without another word.

My jaw dropped as soon as she left. What the...? I silently prayed that she can hear my thoughts. Please Hermione, don't do it! It'll ruin your life! For Merlin's sake, we're talking about the bloody ferret!

"I think we should follow her, just in case Malfoy tries to kill her," Harry stated a matter of factly.

"I'll come with," I volunteered myself. If Harry can face You-Know-Who, then Hermione can face Malfoy. Then again, You-Know-Who almost won in the end.
