IN THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM
"Urghh! When will this bloody essay complete? 'Mione, can you please let me copy yours?" asked Ron. Hermione gave him a stern look and returned to her homework. Harry gave Ron a pathetic look and mouthed, "Bad luck!" Ron added sugar, too much of it, to his voice, and said, "Hey Hermione pleeeaaase? Pleeeeaase? " Hermione thudded her book shut, rolled her parchment and put all things aside, without replying to Ron. "Merlin's beard!" he said, narrowly eyeing her. Harry decided to finish it later for they had four days time left. Ron followed him. "I'm bored," said Hermione. Ron said sarcastically, "Oh wow! Let's dance!"
Harry said, "Let's play something. "
"What?" said Hermione.
"What about truth or dare?" said Ron.
"Yes," said Harry and Hermione in unison. Harry grabbed a bottle and spun it. It pointed at Ron.
"Truth or dare?" said Harry and smirked.
Ron thought for a moment and replied, "I will risk a dare." Hermione thumped his back and said, "That's like a good boy." They had a laugh and then Harry interrupted.
"I dare you to go and snog Dean Thomas."
Ron and Hermione turned around to see Dean and Ginny kissing each other in a corner. Hermione wickedly said, "Harry is jealous of the boy, right?"
Harry casually replied, "Whatever. Ron, go now."
Ron stood up went to the corner. Dean and Ginny broke apart and looked at him. Ginny shouted blushing, "What do you want?" Ron grabbed Dean's head and kissed his lips and returned, leaving behind a flustered couple. Harry and Hermione broke into a laugh.
Now Ron was the one to spin. It pointed at Harry. Ron smiled out of the corner of his lips and said, "Time for revenge, mate! Truth or dare?"
"Er- dare," said Harry. Ron smirked. "Just what I thought. I dare you to go and propose Parvati over there, she was your Yule Ball date right?" Hermione chuckled. "Go on Harry." Harry swallowed and went up to Parvati. "Hey Parvati, will you marry me?" Parvati giggled with Lavender, who was sitting beside her. She said, "Hey, I know what's happening. I saw that you three were playing truth or dare. Could we join in?"
"Uh sure," said Harry. Parvati and lavender followed them. "They two wanna join us"
"That's alright by us," said Ron. Hermione nodded in agreement. As they played they were joined by two others – Ginny and Neville. After half an hour Ginny said, "It is getting boring. I have an idea, let's send an owl to each of the other houses if they would like to join too. If they are interested we can meet in the Room of Requirement." They sent Hedwig with three notes to each of the common rooms. They got hold of ink, quill and three pieces of parchment and Hermione wrote in them -
The whole of (the name of the other three houses on each parchment - Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff respectively) house,
If anyone would like to join us for a game of truth or dare, come to the Room of Requirement as soon as possible with as many number of students as you want.
As Hermione was about to sign off the first note, Ginny said,"Better to keep it anonymous." Everyone agreed. Harry gave the notes to Hedwig and she flew off to deliver them.
IN THE RAVENCLAW COMMON ROOM
Hedwig perched on Luna Lovegood's shoulder. Luna greeted her, "Hello dear Hedwig. Let me see what you have brought." She read the note aloud. With Padma Patil, Parvati's twin, she headed towards the Room of Requirement. Hedwig headed off to deliver the remaining notes.
IN THE SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM
When Hedwig handed out the note to Draco Malfoy he sneered and said, "Come on, let's show 'em what we are." Along with Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini, he went to the Room of Requirements. Hedwig flew off to the Hufflepuffs.
IN THE HUFFLEPUFF COMMON ROOM
Hedwig gave the note to Hannah Abott. Abott read it and along with Susan Bones, she went to the rendezvous.
