Chapter one: I dare you to…

"Mione, don't you ever get tired of reading?" Ron, worried by his friend's routine, which is, may I remind you, reading like there is no tomorrow. Unfortunately, there is no stopping this know-it-all. Everywhere you go you can see her holding a book, may it be in the Great Hall, the Hospital Wing, or in the bathroom.

"Don't you dare say that sentence to me ever again! Do hear me Ronald!?" Her eyes were filled with disgust and resentment as she glares into Ron's eyes. She shut her book with force and continues glaring at him.

"Y-Yes Ma'am!" Ron did a mock salute but he clearly showed a sign of fear. A sign that he usually gives off only to Hermione. This was a girl whom you do not want to cross.

Ah, and there's Harry, sitting beside his two best friends. You know, the boy-who-lived-and-just-can't-die? Yes, Harry famous Potter whose best friends with a know-it-all and a rather afraid red head. They were useful in times of help though.

"You know better than to cross her, Ron" He merely whispered as his best friend was nervously laughing for his life.

Hermione sighed. She doesn't want to get angry at Ron like that, though it is best to let out your anger on some friend. A minute after all that nervous laughing led out by Ronald, Ginny came in the common room looking rather happy.

"I love it!" She chirped in as she jumped for joy.

"Love what?" They trio chorused.

"This!" She held out a golden necklace with a sapphire tear shaped pedant.

"Who gave it to you? I bet it's your boyfriend Dean. Seeing as he is so obsessed with you." Ron said. Harry just sat there looking at the ground feeling--- jealous? Maybe, Maybe not. Hope so? I dunno. Hermione saw this. She saw resentment forming into her friend. She did not want Harry famous Potter getting all jealous cause when he does. He gets all frustrated and doesn't stop ranting about he's better off with Ginny. Though what she does know for sure is that Harry really, really likes Ginny, yes Ginny, as in Ginnerva Molly Weasley, Ginny.

"Ronald!" Hermione said above whisper. " You know how Harry feels about this!" She whispered in his ears.

"I do? Oh yes, I do." Giving a nervous laugh, he rubbed the back of head with right arm.

"So… Wanna play a game?" Ginny said getting an empty bottle and setting it up the table right-side up.

" No. Don't tell me it's spin-the-bottle!?" Hermione and Harry blurted out. They both hated this game. It was the most inappropriate game in the history of muggles.

"No, silly. We'll play Truth or dare using the bottle, though spin-the-bottle is a good idea." Ginny snickered. Hermione hates it when she does this. It always lead up to catastrophe. Well, her catastrophe that is.

It was late in the evening and everyone was going up to their dorms. Ginny kept inviting people to their game but they refused. Sadly only Lavender and Dean had joined in, so much for the saying 'The more the merrier'. And so they started playing their game. Lavender spinned the bottle first, and fortunately for her, it landed on Ron.

" So Ronald, Truth or dare?" There was a hint of seduction in her voice. This scared Ron. Sure, Lavender was pretty but she's gossipy. The number one thing he hated in girls.

What should I choose? If I chose Dare she'd dare me to kiss her. Typical of Lavender. But I wasn't chosen in Gryffindor for nothing. Buggers. He thought. This was a pretty big deal for him. If he chose dare, she'd be his first kiss. So much for having Hermione as his first kiss. Feeling slight smack on the head, Ron turned around to see who smacked him.

"Just pick Ronald!" It was Hermione. Of course, being the bossy one, though she does look cute when she's bossy.

"I pick… Dare"

"Okay Ronald" She snickered before she continued. "I dare you to French kiss me!"

Everyone gasped. This was certainly what Harry, Ron, and Ginny expected. He had it coming, though I guess he figured she'd dare him to kiss her. Hermione thought. Ron sighed. He knew this was coming and yet, he went for it. So much for having Hermione as my first kiss. Then, slowly, he leaned over her, eyes closed. Lavender closed her eyes as she giggled softly. Then, just after blinking, Ron was on top of Lavender. He had done it, he kissed her. Seconds turned into minutes. He's actually enjoying this. They all thought. They could hear the soft moans of Lavender. Ginny couldn't take it. She's seeing her brother snogging the life out of Lavender, her best friend. Ginny had enough.

"Okay, Okay! Break it up you two! Honestly, get a room!" Ginny separated Ron and her best friend. Lavender sighed dreamily, remembering her 'great kiss' with Ron. Her hair looked completely out of place. Ron looks stunned. He actually liked kissing Lavender and so did she. She's one hell of a kisser. He thought. Back to the game. It was Ron's turn to spin and the tip of the bottle slowly stopped to Harry. Harry froze. He knew everything about him. So, there's no need for truth right? He still doesn't whom I like. He thought. Bloody hell, and I was supposed to pick truth. If I told it then she would know. Well, I could whisper it to him. Yes! That's it! I'll just whisper it to him! Merlin, Harry you are a smart one! It was funny to be talking to himself and on the real world he was grinning.

"So, mate. Truth or dare?"

"Truth" He said it with confidence. Dean just chuckled.

"The boy-who-killed-you-know-who chose truth? Well that's a first." Just as he said that. He felt an elbow nudge him in his stomach. He turned to Hermione, who, in return, glared at him.

"Okay mate, if that's what you like. Do you or Do you not like Ginny? And no whispering"

I'm hopeless! This cannot be happening! I cannot just lie! This is Wizard Truth or dare we're talking about! You just cannot lie! Dear Merlin help me! This is worst than facing Voldemort damn it! He thought."I…" What a fine way to tell your crush that you like her, so much for surprising her. He grimaced and sighed.

"Yes" He blushed and turned to look at Ginny. Her face was flushed and yet she looked so happy. Maybe this wasn't a bad idea after all. Besides, she did like me before. This could actually work out! He thought to himself. He was ,inside, smiling for what his best friends question did to him.

Lavender jumped to hug Ginny and she was saying thing he didn't hear. He was too flushed to even hear it! Okay, so… Ron had Lavender, not yet. And Harry practically has Ginny in his hands, well not yet. Dean scoffed. Great and in a few days or maybe even hours, Ginny will dump me for him. Stupid Harry famous Potter and his stunning looks. He thought. Back to the game. It was, as you all know, Harry's turn to spin the bottle. It stopped right in front of Dean.

"Okay Dean, Truth or dare?"

"Dare"

"I dare you to peck Hermione lightly on the lips" He emphasized the word 'lightly'.

"What! Don't I get a say in this?" Hermione stood to defend her part. If that's what you guys call it.

"No, as you know, Hermione, this is Wizard Truth or Dare. If you don't do it, you have to endure the consequences and I tell you it is not ravishing." Lavender said.

"Fine! Just do it quickly okay?"

"Yes yes, Whatever you say Hermione." And he leaned closer and poof! He had done it. He kissed Hermione. It was not bad, seeing as it should only be a peck on the lips!

"Okay Dean, it's your turn" He took the bottle from Harry rather forcefully. He was jealous alright. He knew that Ginny likes Harry and Harry just admitted his love for Ginny. It's official. He's doomed. He turned it hard and without luck it stopped on an empty space. With another turn, but this time with much ease. It stopped right infront of Hermione. She looked, rather, calm, as if this was normal. Most girls would look shocked or maybe even faint. They would think over their decision very, very carefully but Herione wasn't any other girl. She was a know-it-all and she knows what'll happen if she chooses 'this' between 'that'

"I chose dare" Her nose pointed up high. She knew what Dean is like and she knew his ways.

"Okay Hermione. I dare you to French kiss Draco Malfoy for ten minutes tomorrow in your dorm at exactly 9:00 p.m and you will kiss him 'cause we will be there to see it. Seeing as you two are Head boy and Head girl. You can kiss privately in your dorm. But I tell you this, We will be there to watch it. And you cannot, I repeat myself, cannot turn down this dare of mine." He said with a business man tone. Hermione looked rather pale at his 'request'. I cannot turn down his dare. Dear Merlin! Curse the Wizard Truth or Dare! Curse the dare of Dean Thomas! Curse myself for choosing dare! Why can't I turn down his dare? She scoffed. She definitely didn't see this one coming. Ron looked pale too. I mean, them, seeing Hermione turning into a whore just by kissing Draco Malfoy? Well that's a first. Merlin knows how many girls Draco turned into whores.

"I-I… Fine" She scowled. "Can we just finish this game so that we could all go sleep?"

"Sure thing, Oh and by the way. It's your turn to spin the bottle" He remarked. She scowled and Ron looked paler by the second, if that's even possible.

"Ginny, Truth or dare" She said impatiently.

"Huh? Oh yes, Dare" She was in a trance. She was happy that Harry, yes Harry, as in Harry James Potter, the boy-who-killed-you-know-who, liked her. And She liked him back. Well, that was obvious wasn't it? Hermione sighed. She thought this for a second. If ever Ginny chose dare she dare her to – Yes! That dare! She thought. Her face beaming and a sly grin was plastered to her face.

"Okay Ginnerva Molly Weasley. I dare you to dump Dean and be Harry's girlfriend." Dean was not liking her dare, though he knew that was coming. Besides, waiting for a few days for Ginny to say; "Dean, I like someone else. And our relationship is not working out for the both of us. It's not you. It's me. It's over for the both of us. I'm sorry" He did like someone else in particular. Namely, Luna Lovegood. Yes, Looney Lovegood. She was crazy,yes. But she was beautiful with her blond hair and blue eyes. You could literally get lost in them. And she was caring and loving too. So he need not to worry over this situation.

"Oh and do it dramatically." Hermione added. Ginny's face was saying: 'I love you Hermione! Thanks for doing this!.

Ginny cleared her throat and was walking to Dean. She held both his hands and said.

"Dean, I like someone else. And our relationship is not working out for the both of us. It's not you. It's me. It's over for the both of us. I'm sorry" Talk about major Déjà vu! He thought. And she stormed off to the other side of the circle to find Harry squealing for Hermione had done for him, well, not really. I mean who would like Harry Famous Potter squealing? It just isn't right for Merlin's sake! Let's just say that Harry was happy for what Hermione had done for him. And Ginny was, well, hugging Harry. And Ron was, what was this? Ronald Weasley kissing Lavender Brown. Again? Well, that's new. Not really, well, you get the point. Hermione sighed and so did Dean. They expected this.

"So… about your dare Hermione" Dean remarked. She just scoffed and dashed of to her dorm to give thought about was going to happen tomorrow night at this very place.
