The letter X

It all started as a innocent dare, my friends and I had played games like this quite often but it had never ever became anything like this or gone this far,ever.

We were on the Hogwarts Express, in our usual compartment,third in the second carriage, in our usual seats, Zara was nearest the door (I knew that it was so she could check all the guys who walked by out) wearing a red lacy that set off her deep brown skin and shiny black hair perfectly. Beatrix (or Bea) was sitting in the middle so she could talk to/hear everyone wearing a peach skin tight mini dress which worked with her brunette hair and hazel eyes. Cecily was sitting opposite where I liked to sit by the window, she was the closest one of my friends, she was,to put it bluntly, the nicest one of them. I'll admit that I was running a bit late but only a couple of minutes and I hadn't missed the train and there were lots of people still in the platform.

"You're late." Bea said without looking up from her latest issue of Bewitched.

"I didn't know we were on such a strict agenda." I replied which got me a snigger from Cecily.

"Well we are, and you would know that if you were here over the summer." Bea shot back at me with a small glare which I pretended to miss and continued to put my trunk up on the rack above the seats.

"I'll try to keep to it next time then" I said with a cheery smile, I then turned to Zara who hadn't said anything so far. "How was your summer?"

"Really great thanks, Amos took me to see Jamaica play New Zealand at quidditch an-" Zara started but then was cut across by Bea.

"Quidditch is sooooo last season, not to mention masculine" Bea said dismissively. Zara looked away and blushed, Zara blushing?I thought to myself she's usually so strong and individual. I decided to quickly move the conversation on.

"How was your summer Cecily?"

"Um, you know normal." she replied sheepishly shite something is going on here but what?

I decided to just sit down and attempt to keep a little bit of peace but it didn't last long soon enough Bea got bored.

"I'm bored" she huffed.

"What do you wanna do?" Zara asked

"Lets play a game, yeah in fact how about a dare game?" Bea said, she wasn't asking us she was telling us. Cecily didn't look too pleased about this, she was always forced in to this sort of things which she didn't enjoy.

"I reckon it's Daizie's turn today" Bea said looking a bit chuffed with herself, this worried me quite a bit Bea could get quite mean with her dares.

"You're not chicken are you Daizie?" She said a bit slyly

"Hahaha 'course not!" I replied, she turned to Zara,

"Who's walking passed right now?" Zara peered down the corridor,

"Xenophilius Lovegood" Zara said.

Xenophilius was in our house(Ravenclaw), he was good looking with shoulder length blonde hair with bits plaited and had a couple of feathers braided in, he had the most amazing deep blue eyes, athletic and toned from all his time outside but his only down side was that he "far out" or "individual" because he believed in things.

A evil smirk was now on Bea's face when I looked up.

"And there is your dare" She sniggered

"Wait, what's my dare?" I asked seriously confused.

"God! Isn't it obvious? You have to attempt to seduce Lovegood!" She laughed

There was only one thought in my head at that point in time OOOOOHHHH SHIT!
