Do You Dare?
By: TheUnknownFace
A/N: To all the readers out there, TheUnknownFace has written two great chapters; this one and the next chapter. However, TheUnknownFace has suffered a terrible writers block and asked if I could continue for her. Please R/R. As TheUnknownFace says: FLAMES WILL BE USED TO LIGHT THE FIRE.
At
first it seemed as though that day would be as any other. Little did most of
the Gryffindors and about 20 other students know that that night they were to
play the well-known game of Truth or Dare. And in the Gryffindor common room!
But that night would be one that the kids would never forget…
It
was Hermione that suggested it. Little ole innocent Hermione. It was the seventh year for Ron, Harry,
Hermione, and crew, and she had been made the Head Girl (Harry Potter was the
Head Boy). Anyway, she had suggested the idea at lunch the previous day.
"But
Hermione," Ron started, "so many things could go wrong. Imagine if
Professor McGonogall walks in and sees a bunch of us sitting around, and on top
of that, people from other houses! You KNOW that it's strictly forbidden!"
He crossed his legs over his chest and looked at her defiantly.
"Listen to me,
Ron," She, being the smartest witch in school (probably in the school's
history) and knowing all the regulations and rules, answered numbly, "A) I
could just tell her that I was trying to improve inter-house relationships, B)
As for the whole 'we can't play truth-or-dare' crap, I'll just tell her it's a
game Muggles play. Like we were doing an experiment on Muggle studies, or
something…"
Ron
had pondered this for a moment. He
eventually gave in.
Hermione
and Harry had considered doing something like this for a while, they just
didn't know how or when to have it arranged. After all, it's not every day a
Slytherin and a Gryffindor get together to make something so fun.
And this was going to be the party of the year.
It
hadn't taken a while actually, to plan all of everything. Considering that they
could get food for free (Hermione had told Harry about the secret passage to
the kitchens) they could easily get the food and drinks from the little house
elves. Surprisingly the Slytherins
didn't mind having to go into the Gryffindor common room.
And
now, that night had come. Hermione Veretta Granger would not be known as the
'smart, friend-of-Potters, ditz gone babe' girl she was known for. She was
taking a chance! And plus, she had paid Ginny Weasley to dare her to kiss Draco
Malfoy.
Draco
Malfoy was probably the hottest guy she had ever met. (Besides Oliver Wood and
Harry Potter)
(short A/N) Sorry all, I'm throwing in a bit of my own little fantasies in.
But really! Draco is hot! And as we all know, you can't get any better with
Sean Biggerstaff's /Oliver Wood's hot Scotty accent. Whoa - totally ignore me
if you're a guy.
So
now it was 10 minutes to 9 and Hermione Granger and Virginia Weasley were
frantically getting ready for the party.
"Thank
Gods for these jeans," Ginny said as she slipped them on.
Ginny
was not the type to get out of her wizard robes to wear…tight sexy Muggle
jeans! She also had a red fitted shirt on, nothing special.
Hermione
(also in jeans and a black shirt with a low neckline, which still had her Head
Girl pin on it) sat in front of the vanity mirror trying to apply gloss. (Which
she gave up on doing and resolved to using a spell)
* * *
In
the next room, Harry, Ron, Dean, Seamus, and a few of the other Gryffindor boys
were also getting ready. If you can call a quick refresh of deodorant
and endless chatter of girls they wanted to snog 'getting ready'. It was all
quite charming.
Both
sets of students met each other in the common room just as the Slytherin
students entered. Hermione lit a bunch of candles, casting blankets of dark
shadows upon the walls of the room. She sat down on the rug (they had pushed
all of the furniture against the walls as to have room for all of the
students).
"As
you all know," Hermione started, grasping full attention of everyone in
the room, "we will be having a game of Truth-or-Dare. Does anyone not know
how to play?"
The
room stay silent. Neville coughed.
"Well
than!" announced Hermione, "We'll just have to start - Harry, you go
first."
He
thought for a moment. Who would be his victim? He gingerly looked around the
room. Seamus caught his eye first.
"Seamus,
truth or dare?" Harry asked.
The
sandy haired boy thought for a few seconds, before showing a smile and
replying, "Truth."
Just
what I wanted him to pick, thought Harry.
"Alright
Seamus, who do you like?"
All
eyes turned to Seamus as he gulped…obviously a bit nervous…"Lavender."
His
ears turned pink as she kissed his cheek. Hoots of laughter came up from his
fellow housemates and Parvati Patil giggled hysterically. He bowed his head
with a sort of glee and a twinkle in his blue eyes. It was his turn now…Who
should I pick? He thought so many choices.
Better
pick a Slytherin.
"I
choose...Malfoy. Draco Malfoy, truth or dare?" he asked, speaking rather
quickly but letting Draco absorb the question.
"Dare.
Give me your best shot Finnagin," He glowered at him like an angry bull,
but did not express emotion through his eyes.
He
simply slicked back his hair, trying to hide his now sweaty palms. Draco became
even more nervous when Seamus took quite a bit of time to decide the dare and
had his eyebrows furrowed.
Eek.
Seamus,
smiling and apparently pleased with his chosen dare, exclaimed, "Draco
Malfoy, I dare you to kiss Hermione Granger on the lips for 3 whole
minutes!"
And
a fit of giggles and laughter escaped from the other students.
