Yeah, yeah, I know it's been done only ten BILLION times before (actually only 50 when I looked it up, but I think that was a cutoff), but I just had to do a Truth or Dare story. They are so funny. and I have been hit with a lot of inspiration from my life and friends, and the stories I have read online. Thanks to all other authors of Truth or Dare fics! But this is only starting out as my having fun with a Truth or Dare game. as you might have been able to tell from the rating, this is going to become a very intimate love story between Hermione and Draco.

Note to Reader: Princess Flower Child and Bigfanicyupimmindy are friends of mine. Since pennames are so long, though, I am going to call us by our real names: Anne (That's me, Forever an Elf), Haley (That's Princess Flower Child), and Amanda (That's the girl with the long name I don't feel like writing out.

Disclaimer: I no ownie the Harry Potter characters! I only own me an' my friends!

Anyway, on with the story.

Chapter 1- Preparations

It was a calm and peaceful morning at Hogwarts. It was New Year's Day, so most of the students were still on vacation. Ron, Ginny, and Hermione had stayed to be with Harry. As a matter of fact, the whole of the Gryfinndor 5th year students had stayed at Hogwarts over vacation, except for Neville, whose grandmother wanted him with her after Voldemort was announced to be on the loose. Draco Malfoy's parents had gone on vacation to the Alps without him, so he had stayed along with Crabbe and Goyle. Pansy Parkinson stayed because Malfoy was, too. There had been a large New Year's party the night before, so everyone was exhausted. Ron was the first to venture down from his dorm and into the common room at 11:30. He was surprised to find that all furniture had been arranged in a circle, and he began to get very suspicious.

I wonder who did this, he thought, It doesn't seem like anything ordinary.

"HI RON!!!!" the voice came from behind the couch. Ron immediately turned around to look at who had called him, and saw the head of a curly blond- haired girl. He screamed.

"RON! Anne, it's Ron!" screamed the girl.

A second head popped up beside the first one. Ron screamed even louder.

"Quit it, you're scaring him" said the new head.

"How can I be scaring him by being polite and saying hello?" asked the first head.

"Maybe you're being too random" suggested the second.

Suddenly, a third head popped out and spoke. "If you aren't quiet, you'll- "

The third head was cut off as Hermione, Ginny, and Harry ran down from their dormitories in response to Ron's screams, which were louder than ever. They began to stare. at the moved furniture, at the clock (which read 11:45 by now), and at the three heads on the couch at the end of Ron's pointing finger.

After yelling at Ron to shut up, Hermione spoke.

"What are you people doing here? And who are you, anyway?"

"Oh, I am really sorry about that. We though you would like the surprise. Come, sit down." It was the second head talking, but only Ron knew that. The other Gryfinndors saw her as a girl with straight auburn-colored hair that was held in a shoulder-length ponytail, and a ton of pale freckles. They soon learned that this was Anne. The third head was a girl with very long brown hair wore it down. They learned that this was Amanda. The first girl, the girl with super-curly blond hair was Haley, who was at the moment very concerned about Ron.

"I didn't do anything bad to scare him, did I?" she asked Hermione.

"Of course not," replied Hermione, "Ron just isn't much of a morning person, not to mention that he probably has a hangover from last night's party."

Ron protested as everyone laughed. "So I was a little drunk. That doesn't mean I have a. a. haaangover." Sways and falls back on couch beside Haley, who begins to giggle incessantly and can't stop.

"Anyway, why are we here?" Ginny asked impatiently.

"I think. that they're here to flirt with Ron" Harry said slowly. As a response to this, all three girls blushed a little, and Haley began to giggle even harder as Ron seemed to move even closer to her.

"Well," Anne said, "We were thinking it might be fun for all of you to play Truth or Dare"

"What or what?" asked Ron.

"Truth or Dare!" exclaimed Amanda, "It's a muggle game, Harry and Hermione will know. If you don't know how to play, we still have to wait for Pansy, Draco, and his friends to get here before we explain."

At this both Harry and Ron flinched. "You. invited. SLYTHERINS?" stuttered Harry, disbelieving.

"Why not?" Haley commented, "It will add an exciting twist to the game."

"Yea, bro, listen to her," teased Ginny.

Ron didn't have time to respond, though, because at that moment the doorbell at the portrait hole rang. It was Malfoy and company. Anne went to let them in an unseen orchestra began to play victory marching music. The Slytherins took in their surrounding for a bit before sitting down. Draco was the first to comment.

"So this is the Gryfinndor common room"

"Yup, this is it," said Ginny.

"It's pretty-" Draco began to choke from effort, "nice".

Harry leaned over to whisper in Hermione's ear. "Is it just me, or is he trying to be nice to us?"

"I noticed it too" Hermione whispered back.

"Okay, okay, quit it with the small talk!" yelled Amanda, "We need to explain the rules of Truth or Dare, which Anne will kindly read now."

"Thank you, Amanda," said Anne. She then cleared her throat as she unrolled a long scroll that trailed to the other end of the room.

Ron stared in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me. Those can't be the rules"

"Oh, yea, you're right," said Anne after glancing down, "This isn't the rules, it's Hermione's History homework".

"But Hermione, Professor Binns said you only needed a paragraph!" protested Harry.

"I couldn't fit everything I knew in a single paragraph," Hermione pouted.

"Mione, you've got three paragraphs about what makes the sky blue in here," stated Draco, looking the paper over.

"That's simply ridiculous!" said Pansy, who would agree with Draco on anything.

"FORGET IT!" yelled Anne, "I've got the real rules now!"

"Get on with it, then!" said Haley.

"Okay, this is for the benefit of Ron, Ginny, Pansy, Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle" said Anne.

"Actually," said Draco, "Only for Ron, Pansy, and I. Crabbe and Goyle don't really want to play."

"Okay then." said Anne, "Then they can go down to the kitchens and pig out with the house elves. Just tickle the picture of the pear"

Crabbe and Goyle grinned and shot off faster than any two fat guys should be able to run.

"We won't be seeing them for a while," murmured Harry.

"Okay, now for the last time, I will try to explain these rules," said Anne. She took a deep breath, "Okay, you will be asked 'truth or dare' by another person in this room. You must answer one or the other. If you answer truth, they will ask you a question that you must answer truthfully. If you answer dare, you must do whatever they say, unless they tell you to answer truth. If you don't like what you are given to do." she paused, "You must remove one article of clothing."

"Sounds fun enough," Ginny said slowly.

"Of course it is!" exclaimed Amanda, "Now, Haley is going to start us off".

I know, I know, pretty cheesy cliffhanger, but I am babysitting and my brother is hungry. Email me any good ideas for dares/truths or put it in your review. I plan on making a lot of chapters. I'll be back with the next one right after I feed the 8-year-old!
