2. Ginny can speak in front of Harry and talk to him, and she still has a mega-crush on Harry

3. Set in the Christmas holidays of Harry's 2nd year (Chamber of Secrets book). Justin Finch-Fletchley and Nearly Headless Nick had been recently attacked

8. Enjoy reading!***

It was a cold, snowy day in the winter holidays. The castle was covered in white, the lake frozen over with a thin layer of ice. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and the Weasley twins all sat in the Gryffindor common room by the fire, playing Exploding Snap and wizard chess. They had the common room to themselves - most people had gone home for Christmas, in fear of the attack on Justin Finch-Fletchley and Nearly Headless Nick. The remaining people were outside playing in the snow, which meant that Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, and George were the only ones in the Gryffindor common room.

'I'm bored' announced Ron, sitting back in his cozy armchair as he waited for Harry to make his move in chess. 'How can you be bored? We're in the middle of Exploding Snap and you're in the middle of chess with Harry!' asked Hermione, almost incredulously. Ron was never bored when he played wizard chess, especially when the ginger-haired boy played with his best friend, Harry (mostly because Ron nearly always bet Harry).

'We've been playing chess and Exploding Snap for ages!' moaned Ron. It was true. All morning the 4 youngest Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione had been playing chess and Exploding Snap, swapping around so that they could all play each other. This had been going from 8:30am all the way to 2:45pm.

'Yeah, let's play something else. Gobstones?' suggested Ginny. 'Nah' said Fred. 'Snowball fight!' the twins said in unison. 'Maybe truth or dare' said Harry, who had just lost to Ron, who was partying, fist-pumping the air in victory. 'Yes, good idea!' replied Hermione. The 4 Weasleys looked at Harry and Hermione, confused. 'What's that?' asked Ginny curiously. 'It's a Muggle game' said Hermione. 'One person asks another 'Truth or dare?', and they either reply 'Truth', or 'Dare'. If they say truth, then they get asked any question, and they have to reply completely honestly. If they say dare, then they get told to do something, and they have to do it, whether it's embarrassing, or whatever. Want to play?' asked Hermione.

'Awesome-o!' Fred and George said. 'Sure' replied Ginny. 'I'm in' agreed Ron. 'Well, since I suggested truth or dare first, can I start?' asked Harry. 'Wait' Hermione said. 'When I played with my friends at school before I found out I was a witch, we changed some of the rules. Instead of just truth or dare, it's truth, dare, double-dare, kiss, command, torture. Double dare means you get to pick another person to do the dare with you, kiss is when you obviously kiss someone, command is where you're offered 3 commands, and you have to do one, and torture means either tickling or punching, your choice' explained Hermione. 'You also get 3 chickens at the start of each hour. Chickens are basically skips, once you reach zero then you can't skip. You can earn chickens by doing dares. Whoever has the most chickens at the end of the hour gets to do a group dare. Rules: No inappropriate stuff; if you kiss someone kiss them on the cheek, never lips; everyone except the person who's getting dared gets to check whether the dare is fair or not; you can involve people who aren't playing, don't hurt or humiliate them; if possible, avoid losing points for Gryffindor' rattled off Hermione, oblivious to Ginny discreetly yawning, Ron rolling his eyes at Harry, and Fred and George miming sleep. 'All clear?' asked Hermione loudly. Everyone jumped. 'Oh, um...yup' said Harry. 'Harry, you start' said Hermione.

Harry looked around. He was in the mood to dare someone. Hermione - no, she's pick truth, she's too smart. Ron - nah, Ron was his best mate, Harry didn't feel like picking him first. Ginny - eh, nah. Fred - yes!

'Fred, truth or dare?' asked Harry. 'It's truth, dare, double-dare, kiss, command, or torture' interjected Hermione. 'In that case, double-dare with George' answered Fred.

Harry thought hard for about 10 seconds. Then the perfect double-dare came to him. 'Run around the castle, and get as many shoes as you can from people in 10 minutes. No magic. A teacher's shoe earns 10 points, Dumbledore's shoe earns 100 points, and a student's shoe earns 1 point. Whoever gets the most points wins a chicken. Hermione, you go with Fred, to make sure he gets back on time, and make sure he doesn't cheat! Ginny, you do the same with George. Me and Ron can stay here' announced Harry. Ginny grinned. 'Nice one Harry' she said. 'Do either of you chicken?' asked Hermione. 'No way I'm chickening!' yelled Fred. 'Yeah, you're on Fred!' shouted George.

Hermione conjured 2 small blue stopwatches out of the thin air with a flick of her wand. She handed one to Ginny, who was getting up reluctantly from her comfy seat by the fireplace.

'On your marks...' said Harry. 'Get set...' 'GO!'
