Chapter 1
The Game Begins
There had definitely been more exciting times than this at Grimmauld Place. The only current occupants of the house were Mrs. Weasley, Remus Lupin, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. There was absolutely nothing to do, and the only sound heard throughout the house was the pitter-patter of rain against the dark windows, along with the pages of a book being turned by Hermione.
There was a sudden creak, and the door to the study Hermione had been reading her book in opened.
"Hey Hermione," Ginny greeted her with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I have the most brilliant idea on how to liven things up…"
Hermione tried to not acknowledge Ginny's presence in the room. Last time she went with one of Ginny's schemes to "liven things up" she had ended up with green hair and purple eyebrows for a month. Personally, she had hated the look, but Tonks seemed to think that it was cool.
Ginny scowled. "Fine then, Hermione! I'll just tell the boys my awesome idea and get them to convince you to take part in it!!" She slammed the door and ran upstairs to get the boys.
Hermione gave a small smile. This was probably going to be a very long night.
"Truth or dare…" Ron asked Ginny and Harry, "What's that?"
"You haven't heard of truth or dare?!" they exclaimed together incredulously.
Ginny and Harry started to explain.
"It's a popular muggle game, and it's really awesome!"
Ginny continued, "You sit around in a circle and someone will go first, that person will pick anyone else in the circle that they want and then ask them 'Truth or dare?'"
"If they chose truth, you ask them a question and they must answer honestly, choosing dare means they will have to complete whatever dare you give them." Harry finished.
"We can even use some watered down veritaserum to ensure everyone is truthful!"
Ron giggled with glee (a/n: I just HAD to make SOMEONE giggle with glee!!!), "We should get Hermione to play! That could be hilarious, and we can get her away from those books for a while!"
"You two should try to convince her to join. Ever since that accidental potions incident where her hair turned green she hasn't listened to anything I have said to her!" the younger redhead pouted.
"Well," said a familiar voice at the door, "If you turned my hair green I would avoid you also."
They all turned to see who had came in. "Hi Professor Lupin!"
The older man corrected them, "Call me Remus! I'm not your professor anymore, am I?" He looked over at Ron and Ginny. " Your mother just left and told me to keep an eye on you all, so try to not set anything on fire, okay?" He looked pointedly at Ginny, causing her to turn red, then turned away to leave the room.
Harry stopped him. "Remus! We were gonna play truth or dare, care to join us?"
"Well…"
"HERMIONE JANE GRANGER!!!" Ginny yelled, causing Hermione to rush up the stairs.
"What's wrong?"
Ginny said squeefully, "Remus said he would play truth or dare with us!!!"
"I never said I would play!" He defended himself.
"I don't want to play!" Hermione frowned.
Ron looked at them both and grinned, "You have to!"
"NO, we don't!"
"Actually," Harry smirked, "you have no other choice. I put a magical time lock on the door so no one can leave the room for several hours."
This statement earned deadly glares from both Remus and Hermione. Ron and Ginny, however, were applauding Harry's moment of evil genius.
And with a flick of her wand, Ginny pulled five chairs together into a circle.
"Let the games begin!"
