Well, this is my first story, so please keep that in mind if it's not great! Obviously all characters belong to J.K. Rowling.
Truth or Dare?
Draco, Blaise and Theo were lounging in the Slytherin common room, playing a rather interesting game of truth or dare. One person would dare or ask something to the other two, and all three had to answer or do the dare. The difference was once the task or question was given, it had to be completed, thanks to a special Theo had brewed, slightly similar to an unbreakable vow. It was currently Draco's turn.
Draco gave his trademark smirk as he watched the nervous faces of the other two boys. "So gentlemen. What'll it be?"
Blaise and Theo seemed to silently converse, before the darker boy nodded. "Truth."
Draco's smirk grew wider. "If you could sleep with any girl in school, who would you choose?"
Theo arched one perfect eyebrow at the tall blonde. "That hardly seems fair, seeing as we already know your answer."
"Exactly." Draco replied without missing a beat.
"Wait…just one problem with your question." Blaise said.
Draco frowned. "What?"
"You said 'if you could.' I hardly think that's an issue I have to worry about." Blaise coolly replied.
The other two boys burst into laughter. Blaise was an ego- filled prat, but he wasn't far off the mark with his question. With his tanned muscled physique and tousled black hair, Blaise had no trouble getting girls to fawn over him. Combined with his sexy attitude he was deemed 'irresistible' by 99% of Hogwarts female population.
The same could easily be said for the other two boys as well. Draco had silky blonde hair that highlighted his angular aristocratic features, and a body just as fit as Blaise's due to hours of Quidditch practice. He also had an infamous smirk that girls loved.
While Theo's features were not as obviously eye catching, his cold indifference and air of mystery was a favorite with the girls, and he was regarded as a challenge, which many girls happily competed for. He had a pale countenance that accentuated his bright green eyes nicely.
All in all, the three boys weren't likely to be turned down.
"Okay Theo. You're up first." Draco drawled.
Theo sighed. "Fine. Astoria Greengrass."
"Not a bad choice." Draco remarked. "Well obviously I'm going to choose my recent ex, Pansy. Your turn Blaise."
Blaise's face grew darker, and he appeared to be choking. Finally, he let out a strangled mutter that was indecipherable.
"Um, English please?" Theo asked with amusement.
Blaise's face had now turned a rather grey pallor, and his eyes narrowed at the other two. Again he choked out a name, and by leaning in closely, the boys could just make out the word 'Granger.'
Theo's eyes showed his surprise before his normal emotionless mask slipped on again. On the other hand, Draco's face had started to turn the exact color that Blaise's had been a few moments earlier.
His mouth opened and closed a few times, giving the distinct impression of a fish. By now, Blaise had recovered, and they both grinned at their dramatic friend.
Theo beat Draco in responding. "You know, come to think of it she has become remarkably pretty this year."
Blaise nodded. Granger had become what could only be described as gorgeous. Unfortunately, she was part of the 1% that didn't fawn over him. It wasn't something that Blaise was used to, and saying that it unnerved him was an understatement.
Meanwhile, Draco had recovered enough to splutter in rage. "Blaise, she's a… a mudblood! She's beneath you! Besides, she's a bloody Gryffindor, and it's against the very essence of our house." He concluded this with a warning look, which Blaise decided to ignore.
"Draco, she's different from other girls, and I happen to think that she's nice. Now when you get over your juvenile prejudices we can talk about this again. Until that day, I'm entitled to my own choice. You're one of my closest friends and I don't want to have to hurt you if you don't respect that." Blaise said calmly, his thoughts betrayed only by a steely glint in his eye.
Draco just stared, at a loss for words for once in his whole existence. Finally, he sighed, then nodded. "You're right Blaise. You can make your own choices, and I don't want to stop you from doing that. I'm sorry for my outburst, it's just that..." Again Draco stopped.
Blaise nodded. "I know what you think of her, and you're entitled to your opinion as well."
Theo had been silent during this exchange, and he now cleared his throat. "Well, I hate to break up this emotional and inspiring moment, but I think it's my turn to ask truth or dare"
Draco laughed. "Okay, I'd say dare. Blaise?"
Blaise sighed. "Might as well. But be nice Theo! I still haven't gotten over the humiliation of tap dancing to 'Singing in the rain' in the common room."
Theo gave a smile that gave away nothing. "Well, the topic that you two were currently discussing has interested me, and my dare's going to be based on that."
"What topic, the mudblood?" Draco asked, ignoring Blaise's glare.
"Yes, but on a higher level. Relationships between different houses in general." Theo answered with a gleam in his eye.
"Oh no, this can't be good. I know that look. Okay Theo, spit it out." Blaise asked worriedly.
"Here's how it's going to go. I'm going to choose a girl for Draco to get together with from a different house; Draco will choose one for Blaise and Blaise will choose one for me. It's been boring getting any girl we want, so it'll be girls that are actually a challenge for us." Theo stated smoothly. "It will also be a kind of competition to see who can get their specific girl. Any questions?"
The only response was silence, and he looked at them to see them both looking at him with slightly horror stricken expressions. "Good, well I'm glad that's settled. We'll call this little dare 'Inter-house relations.' Oh, and this is going to last for the rest of the year."
Finally Blaise found his voice. "Theo, you have to be kidding. This is ridiculous. We have reputations to uphold!"
"Blaise, we are the ones who make and break reputations. Okay, other houses might deem us mentally unstable, but I bet the rest of our house will be quick to follow." Theo said. He had obviously given this a lot of thought.
More silence followed. Finally, Draco sighed. "Blaise, we might as well give in. Come on, this isn't as bad as the time that we had to steal McGonagall's underwear and parade around with it on our heads." Blaise just looked at him. "Well… it is slightly worse."
Blaise just shook his head. "Fine, but I'm glad I'm choosing Theo's girl. Theo, you're screwed."
Theo sighed. "Thought so. But just to piss both of you off even more…" he paused dramatically. "Granger."
"You're putting me with Granger? Wow, that's SO annoying." Blaise smirked. "You're losing your touch Theo."
Theo just smiled sweetly. "No, I'm picking Draco's girl, remember?" He smiled at the silence. Who would have thought he could silence Draco and Blaise more than once in one night? This was the stuff that legends were made of.
"No. Freaking. Way." Draco snarled, trying to regain his composure.
"I'm afraid that the task's been set. No turning back now, mate." Theo said, sounding way too smug for his own health. "And I have it on good authority that Blaise only thinks that Granger's hot, he doesn't actually like her, right Blaise?"
"Well… I guess." Blaise said, sounding disappointed. Then he surprised them both by laughing. "But Theo, you are bloody brilliant!" Draco made retching sounds as they bumped fists.
"Well, if I have to be with a girl that I abhore, then so do you Blaise. Ginny Weaseley." Draco stated.
This effectively ended Blaise's laughter, but only fueled Theo's. "But… but… but…" he stammered, causing Theo to almost kill himself by laughing even harder. Everyone in Hogwarts knew about Blaise's hatred towards the youngest Weaseley. It was due to her making him the laughing stock of the school in year four by taking a picture of him and Snape snogging. It had actually been Parkinson, but Ginny had managed to charm the picture to look like Snape. At a loss for what to say, Blaise glowered at a hysterical Theo. He suddenly smiled. "Theo, don't think I've forgotten about you." Then he leaned down and stage whispered, "Luna Lovegood."
The transformation was instant. Theo sat up straight, looking terrified. "But she's batty! I tell you, she is absolutely mental. I might get hurt!"
Blaise just smirked. "Revenge is a bitch, isn't it." Theo just sneered in response, whereas Draco looked slightly more happy then he had been a while before.
Theo sighed. "Okay then, the dare starts tomorrow morning. We'd better get some sleep. I have a feeling tomorrow's gonna be a heck of a day."
