Say "I Love You"

Prologue

Draco hadn't ever really hated Blaise, he'd actually considered him as more than an aquantaince. Sure, Blaise could annoy the hell out of the Slytherin Prince at times. Still, at this moment, the Italian* boy had pissed off Draco. Not only had he tricked Draco into coming over to his house, but Blaise conveniently forgot to mention most of the Seventh year Slytherins were there as well. Now, the dumbass was insisting they played a game of Trolls or Dragons, one of the most boring games imaginable.

"Now, the rules to the game are simple," Blaise explained, a mysterious glint in his dark eyes, "If a person picks trolls, they have to answer one question truthfully. Of course, they'll have to drink this potion," he held up said bottle, "And if you lie, you'll break out in bright blue spots for the next week. Now, if you pick Dragons, you have to do one dare, no matter the extreme. If you don't, the person who dared you gets to pick the punishment fit for the crime. Any questions?"

Draco shifted on the couch, an annoyed expression on his face. He scowled as soon as Blaise looked over in his direction and shot him a glare that clearly said, "I'm going to kill you." Instead of looking worried, Blaise just smirked at him and turned towards the rest of the crowd. "So, who's going first?" Instantly, hands shot up, wanting to be the ones to pick the first challenge. Blaise picked Daphne first, who took a quick gulp of firewhiskey and asked Pansy, "Trolls or Dragons?" The dark haired witch smirked and answered, "Dragons."

"I want you to streak around the block in a muggle town. The busiest part."

"Let's get going then," she said. "Let's go to muggle London." One after the other, they all started apparating out of the room, either alone or in pairs, depending on if they were legalized to. Draco was one of the last ones to leave. It was obvious just how easy this bet was for Pansy. Within moments of Draco arriving, she was nearly stripped down to her undergarments and it didn't take long to lose those either. She shoved the pile into Blaise's hands, gave a little shake to the crowd, and with a wink, started right into a busy stream of people. The entire crowd went out to the main street and watched Pansy streak down in between the people. A few other witches and wizards went after her, between the gasping and gawking by-passers. The rest of the group started apparating back to Blaise's house.

The game continued randomly after they returned, but once Pansy returned, she took lead in the game. Many of the Slytherins chose Dragon, but the occasional Troll popped up. Trolls died down the darker the secrets that came out. "Draco."

The blonde teen glanced up from the floor he had been staring at boredly and snapped at Blaise, "What?"

"Troll or Dragon?" the Italian asked, smirking at him.

Draco growled back in return. He wanted to snap at him and he certainly didn't want to play this game, but if he turned down the challenge now, he'd just be viewed as a coward. After several moments of tense silence, he bit out, "Dragon." He wouldn't back down from this challenge, not while he could get back at him.

"I dare you to get Granger to say she loves you."

Nearly everyone stopped breathing then and there. They looked between the Slytherin Prince and the Italian Slytherin, waiting for the first move. Slowly, very slowly, Draco narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are the rules?"

A triumphant look came to Blaise's face. "You have until the end of our Seventh Year, it doesn't matter if she's your girlfriend or whatever. Granger has to mean it, of her own accord. We have to hear about it as well. I'm sure, seeing her heartbroken will be more than enough proof. If you fail or back out, you have to go gay for an entire year. That includes coming out to everyone you possibly know."

Again, the two Slytherins had this staring match, neither of them backing down. Then, to everyone's surprise, Draco nodded. "Fine, I'll do this dare. But only on one condition; that you do the same to Ginny Weasley."

When the Italian looked ready to protest, Draco interrupted, "You already said she's attractive enough. And she's no mudblood either. I'm sure it won't be too hard for you."

Once more, they stared at each other, only this time they were both glaring. Blaise waited several tense moments before muttering the word between his clenched teeth, "Deal."

~A/N~

*First off, I am extremely aware that Blaise is not Italian. I just like picturing him as Italian a lot more! He just seems so... Italian-like. So don't leave comments about this being annoying, please!

So, this is going to be an interesting fanfiction! Hopefully, you will enjoy reading this story, it's definitely going to be an interesting ride. I'll try to keep the charaters as close to their original characters as possible, but I can't promise that a hundred percent.

This story was first thought of after reading a manga series called "Say I Love You". Aside from the saying I love you part, I didn't steal any of their plot... As far as I'm aware. The Manga is pretty decent though! Little too cheesy for my taste at times.

R&R!
