A\N This was supposed to be a total truth or dare fic, but I've decided to only make a partial truth or dare fic.
Disclaimer: If I owned HP do you think I would spend my time doing this? I think not.
An Unexpected Discovery:
I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm so glad Malfoy made me do all the Head duties. I thought as I walked down the length of the train, I couldn't bear to be in the compartment with 'Won Won and Lav Lav' any longer. But I don't really feel bad for Harry and Ginny because after the final battle they started snogging each others brains out.
On my way back to the Heads compartment I ran into a much excited Parvati Patil.
"Hello Hermione."
"Hey."
"Have you seen Padma? I've got something to tell her?"
"Sorry, no." her face fell.
"Okay then." I felt sorry for her because the way she stalked off, she really needed to talk to Padma." I continued back to the compartment only stopping to see how Harry and Ginny were doing. When I walked in Ron and Lavender were exactly where I left them, Harry was sleeping and Ginny's face was a look of pure disgust.
"Hey Gin, how's it going?" I asked as she pulled me out of the compartment.
"If I heard anymore of Won Won and Lav Lav, I would have hexed them into oblivion!" she snarled.
"Well if you want you can come sit with me and hopefully not the ferret."
"Sure 'Mione." We started off to the head of the train and when we entered the compartment, we weren't surprised to find Malfoy and Parkinson snogging each other senseless.
"Sorry Gin, I thought it would be better then Ron and Lavender but I was wrong. C'mon, let's go find Padma and Parvati." I spat as we walked toward the other end of the train.
We found Padma, Parvati and Seamus in one compartment near the back of the train.
"Hey guys, can we join you?"
"Sure, Parvati was just telling me that Seamus here finally asked her out."
"Congrats." Both Ginny and I chorused.
"So guys how were your holidays?" Gin asked.
"Good, I went to the quidditch world cup again with me mum." said Seamus.
"Really, I wanted to go but Mum and Dad wouldn't have it, only the boys could go." Said Ginny, and her and Seamus talked about quidditch the rest of the ride.
"Well Padma and I spent the holiday just hanging around." said Parvati. Parvati and Padma talked about how exited they were for divination for the rest of the ride there. I wasn't really listening. We all changed into our robes eventually, whilst the changing I managed to slip out unnoticed and went back to the compartment. When I walked in I noticed that the slut was gone and it was just Malfoy.
"So, are you going to help with the first years or am I going to do it by myself?" I snapped.
"Jeez Granger, yes I'll help you." He replied. My facial expression must have been quite funny because the ferret actually laughed. I didn't even bother asking just storming out off the train and towards the nervous first years. Along with Malfoy and a few other prefects the first years were successfully loaded into the boats and on their way across the lake, while Malfoy and I took a carriage by ourselves, directed my McGonagall of course.
Once we started off towards the castle it hit me, this was my last time ever going on the carriage ride to Hogwarts, I immediately started drilling the picture of the scenery into my mind so I wouldn't forget. I looked at Malfoy and noticed he was just entranced as I was. I started remembering all the past rides up to Hogwarts, like in fifth year when we first met Luna. Then I started thinking of the past year, when we went looking for the horcruxes and the final battle. Then when we were at the Burrow and we were invited back to complete our seventh year along with the others who didn't complete it; then when I was made Head Girl. My thoughts continued to all those who were lost, Mad-Eye, Tonks, Lupin, Fred, Colin, Dobby, Snape, even Hedwig.
"What's the matter with you Granger?" I looked up to find Malfoy staring at me, almost like he cared. Then I realized my cheeks were wet and that I was crying.
"Sod off Malfoy." I snapped.
"Oh, feisty are we?" He said looking amused. "But really, what's wrong?"
"Nothing you would care about." I said, rather sullenly. I can't believe the git actually wants to know what's bothering me.
"Come on, wait let me guess, you're extremely sad that this is the last ride up to Hogwarts and you miss everyone who died in the final battle." My mouth must've dropped to the floor. "I take it I was right then."
"But how?" I croaked.
"I'm feeling the exact same way, without the tears of course." He said smartly, with a touch of sympathy.
"But who did you loose in the final battle?"
"Snape," He said rather quietly. Then looking at my confused face he added. "My godfather."
"Oh, Malfoy I'm sorry I didn't know." I said.
"Granger, don't." he said severely, so I dropped it. We both drifted back to our thoughts for the remainder of the ride and when we arrived at the entrance we didn't look at each other.
When we were just outside the Great Hall, McGonagall stopped us.
"My dears what might I ask is wrong?" Malfoy and I glanced at other and immediately started laughing. My face was all red and blotchy, while his was merely partially tear stained.
"Oh, umm… we were a little emotional on the ride up Professor, as it is our last ride up here as students and our thoughts both kind of drifted to those who lost their lives, those few months ago." I said sadly.
"Oh, well I'll give you a few moments to collect yourselves and then I expect you both in the Great Hall for the sorting." With that she was off towards the even more so nervous first years.
We quickly cleared our faces and made ourselves look presentable, then headed into the Great Hall. We parted ways there. I immediately headed towards Gryffindor's table. I found an open spot next to Harry; he, Ron, Seamus and Ginny were in a heated discussion: who was better the Holyhead Harpies or the Chudley Cannons. Ginny and Harry were with the Harpies and Ron and Seamus were with the Cannons. I patiently waited for someone to notice my appearance. As soon as I sat down Ron was all over me.
"What's with you and the ferret?" he spat.
"Well, Ronald if you paid more attention to your friends instead of snogging your girlfriend you would know that Malfoy and I made Head Boy and Head Girl, so it is practical that I had to walk in with him, with us being in the same carriage." I said just as severely.
"Oh." He said as his ears turned that all too familiar shade of red. The last time his ears were that color was over the summer.
Flashback.
We had just come back from Fred's funeral. We were all quite disheveled and teary. Harry and Ginny sat in the yard her head buried in the crook of his neck, while she continued to sob. George immediately went to he and Fred's room, he just wanted to be alone. Molly and Arthur sat at the kitchen table and cried. Bill and Charlie left after the funeral to go back to their homes, not being able to bear the sadness that was their family. And Percy didn't even show. Ron and I were currently sitting in his room. We were both in each others embrace, trying not to cry, but unable to succeed. We cried together for what seemed like hours.
We finally both calmed down enough to talk.
"Come on Ron, let's go make some dinner, how ever likely it is that anyone will be able to eat it." I managed to get out.
"How can you be so calm right now?" he said, his voice wavering.
"I just don't think Fred would have wanted us to mope around for him, he would have wanted us to get on with our lives." I said.
"Your right." Said Ron, a touch happier. Then all of a sudden his lips crashed against mine. He was kissing me passionately and I immediately kissed him back, his tongue begged for entrance and I complied. We were still kissing like mad and we didn't notice the door open.
"Ahem." Coughed Harry and Ginny simultaneously. We sprang apart. I looked at Ron then at Harry and Ginny.
"Could you give us a minute?" I asked.
"Sure, we'll be right outside." Harry said, making the outside very clear.
"…"
"…"
"Ron, we need to discuss this, did that mean anything to you?" I said.
"No, well, I er… it's just that I'm dating Lavender and it was a spur of the moment kind of thing right." He stuttered.
"Yes, exactly how I was feeling."
End flashback.
Then the Sorting Hat started singing its song, I didn't even bother paying attention to the sorting as almost all were in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw or Huffelpuff. Before I knew it McGonagall was saying the start of term announcements.
"I would just like to remind you the forest is forbidden, and I would just like to introduce this year's Head Boy and Head Girl; Mr. Draco Malfoy and Ms. Hermione Granger." She was followed with a roar of clapping and the Prefects lead the first years to their dormitories; while Malfoy and I followed her to our common room.
"Here you are, now you must chose a password that both of you agree on." She said as we stopped at the portrait of a man and a woman both wearing pendants, the woman's red with a gold chain, the man's green with a silver chain.
"What do you want it to be Granger?" he sneered.
"I was kind of thinking Dobby." I sneered right back.
"Eh, okay. I did kind of like the little guy." I was taken aback at his answer.
In unison we said "Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger choose Dobby to be their password." The portrait opened.
We both stepped into the common room. In the corner by the stone fireplace was a bookcase that lets you chose what books you want in it, it also had couches and a few tables. We both headed upstairs to our rooms. Mine was the door that said 'Hermione' in gold lettering, whereas Malfoy's said 'Draco' in silver. I opened my door and was immediately drawn towards the yellow and purple four poster bed. It had the perfect amount of purple-ish pillows that matched the color scheme perfectly. Then I noticed a door, when I opened it, I was greeted with a luxurious bathroom, it was huge, and the bathtub could have been a pool. Then there was a steam shower, a marble sink and when you looked out the window, you could see the Quidditch pitch. It was perfect.
I headed down to the common room to re-read Hogwarts a History, again. But before I could sit down, there was a knock at the portrait. So I went over and opened it and I was surprised to see, all the prefects and more.
"Ginny, what the hell is going on?!" I screeched to Ginny, who was leading the pack.
"Let us in and I'll explain!" So, I let every body in. When I looked around I saw: Ginny, Harry, Ron, Lavender, Fred's ghost—wait, Fred's ghost?! George, Padma, Parvati, Seamus, Dean, Luna, Neville ,Pansy, Blaise, and one or two sixth years, and another girl that looked to be in our year, who I didn't know. When I turned around again I noticed Malfoy had ended up beside me.
"Well," I prompted someone.
"Well what?" George said.
"Why the bloody hell are you all here?!" Malfoy said for me.
"Oh, well you see, we wanted to start a tradition of sorts..." Ginny said.
"The tradition being?"
"Once a month, we all get together and play some random muggle game, called truth or dare, but we thought we would spice it up a little." Said Fred's ghost, then George proceeded to hold up numerous boxes of fire whiskey.
"What's truth or dare?" Draco asks?
