It was December 22nd, 1998. A group of Hogwarts students from the so-called "8th year" plus a couple of 7th years was sitting in the Gryffindor common room, playing drinking games. All the younger students were gone for the Christmas break, so only those older students who didn't feel like going home for various reasons were around.
This year had all been about regrouping and reconciliation, and under the encouragement of the Headmistress, the former rivals from the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses had fallen into a routine of friendly challenges. They would challenge each other to two-on-two quidditch matches or try to outdo each house's latest party. Tonight the Lions offered to host a night of board games and invited the Snakes into their den.
On the red side were Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood, who was considered an honorary Gryffindor. On the green corner were Blaise Zabini, Theo Nott, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass.
With the help of a couple of bottles of Firewhisky they have been through a few challenges of exploding snap (Ginny was crowned champion), a fast-paced wizard's chess tournament (Malfoy beat Ron in an exciting finale) and Blaise got furious because he lost to Luna Lovegood in a match of Gobstones and got soaked with disgusting goo. That was until she offered to take him to the prefect's bathroom to help him wash the smelly liquid and he came back beaming. When they walked back into the common room Hermione and Ginny exchanged looks. Knowing Luna she probably did something incredibly erotic without intending.
By now they were all good and buzzed so Granger decided to up the ante. She ran to her bedroom and came back with a small vial of clear liquid.
"I made an experimental batch of veritaserum with Slughorn's help. It not only forces the truth, if the person resists it will push them to act on it. How about a good old fashion game of truth and dare…with a twist? She wiggled her eyebrows.
Blaise and Theo lift their arms in joy
"YES! You are the best Granger!"
She laughed and gave them a bow. Ginny and Luna exchanged naughty looks.
The other ones blushed into different shades of red but they all nodded.
"Fine. Let's do this" said Pansy.
They all sat in a circle on the floor.
Hermione smirked
"First here is another catch. There is very little serum and it is very potent. So, if you want to ask someone something you must touch your fingertip to the mouth of the vial like this –she touched the vial and tip it to drip a bit on her finger- and then you feed it to your victim like so" She stretched and put her fingertip on Theo's mouth. He obediently sucked on it in a lustful way. Whistles and catcalls filled the air.
She gave him a satisfied smirk.
"Now, Theo. If you could be doing anything right now, what would it be?"
He groaned painfully. This was a bad idea. The truth may get him punched in the face. He tried to hold back, but the serum was too strong. Hermione gave him a warning
"If you don't answer it will force you to act on it. Your choice."
Theo yelled
"FUCK!" then he said "I would have my face buried in the Weaselette's tits" he said looking at Ginny.
There was an explosion of laughter, howls, and cheers. That kept Ron from trying to do anything about it. He had to admit that his sister was one of the school's hot chicks, but he did blush a deep red. Ginny shot Theo a flirty look that seemed to spell "later". Theo had to adjust in his seat to disguise the sudden swish and flick that happened in his pants. That little red firecracker was going down tonight.
Pansy clapped excitedly
"My turn, my turn!"
She loved playing matchmaker and she had a pureblood match in mind. Plus, she really wanted to do her friend a favor. She took the vial and put a drop on her finger. Then she did a quirky waddle on her knees to get in front of Ron.
"Open up Weasley"
He rolled his eyes but licked the finger offered. Pansy beamed.
"Weasley, what do you think about my friend Daphne?".
Ron blushed beet red. When they came back to school and started hanging out with the Slytherins he noticed Daphne for the first time. He also noticed that she preferred nice tight shorts and mini skirts. And this year she was keeping her school skirts above regulation length.
"I think she's a babe. She's got the best pair of legs I've ever seen. Plus she always acts very sweet."
The howls and catcalls were deafening. Daphne blushed furiously but gave Pansy a shy smile. She was very pleased to find out her crush was not one-sided.
Luna spoke
"I would like to go next"
She took the vial and crawled in front of Daphne. The poor girl knew it was coming. She took the drop of serum and waited for the hit.
"Daphne why is it that you like to sneak in to watch the Gryffindor Quidditch practices?"
Dammit. This girl was observant. Pansy gave Luna a double thumbs up and a Cheshire grin.
Daphne sigh and looked at the floor while answering
"I like watching Ron in his Quidditch uniform. He looks so... big."
Harry gave his blushing friend a shove. Ron was smiling widely, grateful that Hermione was such a genius. Tonight he was going to get himself a girlfriend. He moved to sit next to Daphne. She gave him a shy smile and rest her head on his shoulder. He put his arm around her and gave her a peck on the lips.
"Oh right oh right, too much cuteness and not enough sauciness! My turn!" Said Blaise grabbing the vial. He crawled towards Pansy and put the soaked finger to her mouth. She rolled her eyes but got very nervous. Blaise was to be feared.
"If you could snog senseless anyone in this room who would it be?"
She gave him the evil eye. It was too embarrassing. Her crush was way out of her league because she had been a bitch for years. Now she was gonna pay for it. She tried not to answer. Hermione tried to repeat her warning but Theo held her and signal for her to let it happen. Pansy sat there feeling that she was losing control of her body.
Suddenly Pansy got on her hands and knees, crawled across the circle and straddled on the lap of Harry Potter. She pulled his hair to lift his face and gave him the most lascivious kiss he had ever experienced. The room exploded.
It took him a couple of seconds to react. Then his hands moved on their own and he grabbed a handful of hair and a handful of arse and pulled her flush on his body. She could feel his growing stiffness and felt smug about it. Maybe this was not a lost cause after all.
"Oi, get a room or move on! "
The couple wrapped it up and Harry spoke in her ear "stay here", sitting her across his lap so they could participate in the game, but making clear this making out session was not over.
Daphne decided to get some clarification about the prefect's bathroom situation. She took the vial and crawled towards Blaise. He grabbed her hand and did a lascivious lick. Ron gave him the evil eye and held Daphne tight when she sat back next to him. She asked
"So, Blaise, was your experience in the prefect's bathroom with Luna satisfactory or do you crave some more…interaction."
Blaise smirked
"I wouldn't mind going back in there. Maybe this time I won't be the only one taking clothes off?" he said giving Luna a Lecherous look.
Luna smiled dreamily and said
"It would be lovely to make love to you in that fabulous bubble bath Blaise."
They all cracked laughing and clapped in approval. Leave it to Luna to say the most direct thing without needing any serum.
"Oh right, said Harry, my turn. But first I need to consult with this lovely lady here".
He said something in Pansy's ear. She squeaked excitedly
"Yes! That's perfect!" then she confided something back.
Harry grinned. Then he spanked Pansy to move her off his lap and went for the vial. He kneeled in front of Draco and offered his finger.
"Suck it Malfoy," he said with a malicious grin.
"Fuck you, Potter," said Draco, but still lapped the finger in an intentionally suggestive way. Then he gave Harry a challenging look.
Harry smirked, returned to his place and patted his lap to get Pansy to sit there again. They both grinned at Draco with malice. Harry spoke
"Ok Malfoy, let's say that tonight you get to have the quim of your choosing for dinner –the room exploded in laughter – who would be the lucky lady?"
Draco gave him a murderous look. But he knew what he had agreed to, and he better answered before the serum made him do something insane. The room was dead silent.
"Hermione Granger. I would have her for dinner, as a midnight snack and again for breakfast"
The room exploded in cheers. Hermione felt like she was going to faint. She didn't have time to think before Theo was kneeling in front of her, finger on her lips.
"Open up Granger"
She was breathing shallowly. No way they will let her ran out of her own game. She licked the finger, closed her eyes and waited for it.
"If you could choose any guy in school to fuck you into the mattress who would it be?"
The silence was like a heavy blanket. She stayed quiet for a long moment. Blaise grinned malevolently
"Oh, this is rich. It's your potion, Granger. If you keep holding up is gonna make you do something crazy."
Hermione stood up, nose lifted and to everyone's astonishment, took a couple of steps towards her room. Then she stopped and turned around.
"Malfoy, are you coming or not?"
Draco stood up like a snapped rubber band and in a second was next to her, throwing her over his shoulder, making her squeal.
"Which one is your room love?"
After they were all done laughing Ron stood up and offered Daphne his hand. They left the room quickly through the portrait, followed by the whistles and cheers of the group.
Then Ginny crawled towards Theo and faked a pout
"My roommate took a boy to our room, I don't have anywhere to sleep tonight"
Theo grinned
"Well lucky for you she took my roommate, so I can let you crash with me"
They stood up quickly and holding hands ran towards the dungeons.
Pansy said to Harry
"Please tell me that Ron is your roommate"
Harry grinned
"Yup. Is Daphne yours?"
She nodded, beaming.
Harry took out his wand and produced his Patronus to send a message to Ron
"You're sleeping in the dungeons tonight."
Blaise stood up and offered his hand to Luna
"That's our cue love. We are not wanted here anymore."
Luna smiled sweetly
"Luckily I'm alone in my room during the holidays. We can go to Ravenclaw tower after we take a bath."
Blaise turned to gave Pansy and Harry the last look, grin on his face, doing an excited fist pump.
Harry stood up and offered his hand to Pansy
"Madam, may I invite you to my quarters?"
She smiled happily. Harry Potter was the sweetest man in the world. And she was going to prove that Pansy Parkinson was the right girl for him.
