A/N I decided to try and keep most of the relationships the same as in the book, for this story because I don't really love the fanfics where they change it up too much. I'm not saying there won't be moments where it gets a little uh let's say different, but you know (at least you will). (This is also my first fanfiction so don't be too hard, but constructive criticism is appreciated and if I continue writing stories lmk your thoughts on what I should write about)
Chapter One
It was December 23, two days from Christmas and the Golden Trio was finishing up their 7th year of Hogwarts. It had been eight months since the Battle of Hogwarts and everyone was still recovering. People were still trying to re-build parts of the castle after re-bounded curses and jinxes left gaping holes in walls or even took out entire rooms, and families were still trying to move on after one or more losses. Ron's brother George still hadn't gotten over the loss of his twin brother and lost most of his sense of humor. George almost never left his room anymore and had taken over Fred's bed and wardrobe. When George did leave his room, however, he had red swollen eyes and he never spoke to anyone. No matter what anyone said or did it seemed as though George would never be back to his former self. The Trio decided to stay at Hogwarts during the Christmas break because it was there last year and they wanted to spend as much time as they could there before they left.
"Bloody hell it's cold out," muttered Ron to Harry and Hermione as they walked into the village of Hogsmeade.
"Well why didn't you grab your coat before you left, Ronald?" replied Hermione walking into the Three Broomsticks.
"Well I didn't think it would be this cold out." said Ron.
"Sometimes I don't know why I decided to date you with all of the complaining you do." said Hermione a bit playfully.
"Merlin's beard will you two stop bickering? You guys have been together almost 8 months and you still won't shut the fuck up." said Harry sounding mildly irritated.
"Anyways I've been thinking…" said Hermione "since its Christmas break and most of the people had the same idea as us for staying here for break I was thinking we should get some of the 6th and 7th years together to play a game of Truth or Dare."
Both Harry and Ron turn to stare at her.
"You mean the game we used to play as 2nd or 3rd years?" said Ron incredulously.
"Well, yeah, but not in the same way we used to.." said Hermione sounding mischievous, "For starters I think we should spice it up a bit. Let's say we have everyone take Veritaserum for the truths and put a charm over the room forcing people complete their dare."
"At first I wasn't so sure about this whole thing, but with these new twists I think it might make the game really fun. I'm down." Harry said enthusiastically.
"All right invite everyone you think should be there
and tell them to meet outside the Room of Requirement tomorrow night. Got it?" said Hermione pleased with Harry's support.
"I mean if both of you are going it looks like that means I don't really have a choice.." said Ron
"Great! Make sure you invite multiple houses as well. We don't want all Gryffindors," said Hermione, "Well I'm going to the Room of Requirement to get everything prepared for tomorrow night. I'll see you guys later" said Hermione exiting the Three Broomsticks.
