It was a sunny day in July, and four boys sat in a circle on a luscious emerald green carpet in the Zabini manor. One stood out; unlike the others, who had dark hair, his was platinum blonde. He spoke.

"Jack," Scorpius said. "Truth or dare?"

Jacques Zabini looked at him. "Truth, I guess." He shrugged.

"All right." Scorpius paused to think for a second. "Have you ever fantasized about a ghost?"

Jack smirked. "No." His smirk grew a little wider. "Have you?" he asked, waggling his eyebrows.

"It's not my turn. Ask somebody else." Scorpius said sternly.

"Fine." Jack scanned his friends before addressing the boy casually leaning against the bedpost. "Truth or dare, brother?"

The boy didn't answer.

"Brother?"

"You won't get his attention like that, Jack. You have to be louder," Scorpius said.

"Oh, let me," said Alexander Nott exasperatedly. "DARIUS!"

Darius calmly turned to face the boys with a tired expression. "You guys do realize that you've been playing a girl's game, right?"

"It's only a girl's game if you make it," pouted Darius' twin brother.

"Fine, Jack. Dare." Darius rolled his eyes, not bothering to hide the mock in his tone.

"I dare you to go down to whatever room dad is in right now and try to lick his elbow without him noticing." Jack grinned evilly. Darius raised his eyebrow at him, but he ignored it."I think he's in the living room. Go do your dare!" Darius sighed, but obeyed. They sat in silence for a minute, trying to hear what was going on.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" A roar could be heard, followed by deep laughter. A few seconds later, Darius walked back into the room, his skin tinted pink despite his determinedly stoic expression, and sat down again. He tried his best to disregard the amused looks the other boys were giving him.

"Scorpius. Truth or dare?"

Scorpius was still grinning at him, but answered "Dare" after a second.

"All right." Darius clapped his hands once, sitting up straight. "I'm going to make this game interesting."

"Mate, you sure you want to do this?" Alex caught up with Scorpius' long strides in the narrow central aisle of the Hogwarts Express. "Darius can't have meant it. Could he have?"

"Absolutely. If Darius wants to see me seduce Rose Weasley, I'm gonna do it." Scorpius didn't look at his friend, instead glancing into the compartments they passed, searching for one girl. "Besides, we're in fifth year already. Chances are, she hates me a little less than first year."

"Or, she hates you a little more."

Scorpius stopped sharply, spinning to face his friend. "Stop being pessimistic! I promised my self I would do this, and I don't want you talking me out of it! Now look impressive." He jabbed his pointer finger into Alex's chest. "She's right there."

They approached the snack cart and the cheerful witch. Rose was bending down, picking out a few Pumpkin Pasties from the bottom shelf to eat on the trip. Scorpius smiled at the plump witch, and crouched down, reaching into the box of Pumpkin Pasties.

Rose looked startled as a hand brushed past hers, swiftly choosing a pasty. Rose straightened up and found herself face-to-face with Scorpius Malfoy.

"What do you want, Malfoy?"

"Pumpkin Pasties, obviously, since I just bought one," he said, handing his money to the witch. "But you know, I think I want a few more things, too." He winked, but started to pick out some more candies. Rose's expression changed from confusion, to surprise, to indignance rapidly. It was quite amusing. Her face flamed, and she scurried away. She reached her compartment, sat down, and closed the door a little harder than she meant to.

"Jeez, what's wrong?" asked her cousin Lily, who was lounging on one of the benches with her feet up. She stretched to see what Rose had bought. "Aww, you only got pasties? Oh, well," she said as she grabbed one from Rose and took a bite.

"Scorpius Malfoy just hit on me," Rose said wide-eyed. The pasty dropped from Lily's mouth.

A/N I started this fic because a) the other fic I was working on had no plot, and b) I started the other one with a challenge, but it was my first fanfiction, and it didn't turn out so well. So for this one, I planned out the entire storyline in advance, and used one of my favorite cliches: the seduction dare.

Anyways, what do you guys think of the first chapter? Was it too short? Because this should be about how long the others will be. The shortest chapter might be 400 words, but i doubt it'll be that low, because I planned out what's going to happen in each chapter and wrote it down. They'll usually be around 600 words. There will be 12 chapters, unless I give up (I hope not!).

So, who's your favorite second generation character? Rose? Lily? Scorpius? Teddy? Victoire? Fred? Hugo? Roxanne? James? Albus? Tell me in the reviews!

Also, I don't own Harry Potter.

Now revised! (heavily)
