Chapter 2 of the Dare Game

A.N. Wow, your response for the first chapter was absolutely amazing. It was the most amount of reviews I've ever had for one chapter. You guys rock!

I asked last chapter who was your favourite male actor in Harry Potter and we seem to have a lot of Tom Felton lovers here! (I'm one myself though I also think Daniel Radcliffe is pretty hot). See the end of page for my next completely random Harry Potter question.

By the way one of my beloved reviewers mentioned that the Harry Potter film didn't open in their country till the 25th. Out of curiosity, which country is that? I haven't seen the film yet and my friends have had mixed reactions.

On With the Story…

Over the night Draco thought long and hard about how he was going to get Granger back. But it wasn't till the early hours of the morning did the perfect plan, or so he thought, enter his mind. Perfect he whispered to himself and without much further ado he went up to the owlery and wrote the letter that led to Hermione's doom.

Next morning Hermione waited with baited breath to see what her dare would be and as the owls swooped in she thought she was going to be sick. All of a sudden a ebony black owl swooped down in front of her. She grabbed the parchment and began to read, her eyes widened in horror at what was written and would have screamed if she didn't have any self-control. The note read as follows

Granger,

I know how much you love your books and classes, so this should be an interesting challenge particularly to see if you can carry it through. I want you for 1 whole day (yes Granger one full day) to do no work, don't attempt to go to the library, if a teacher asks you a question pretend you don't know and generally stop being a bookworm. Oh and give up the spew campaign in fact I want you to announce to the whole Hall how Spew was just a waste of time.

Break a leg or should I say break the school bookworm habit!

Malfoy

Hermione gulped and stood up, much as Malfoy had done the day before and made a tiny noise.Like yesterday, everyone turned to face the person who was making an announcement. Hermione whispered something under her breath that no one could here. Malfoy in the Slytherin Table called out jeeringly.

"Can't hear you, Granger!" If looks could kill, Malfoy would be long gone but as it so happened they hadn't developed a spell for that yet. Taking a deep breath, Hermione went for it.

"Okay, as you know, for some time I've had a campaign to give house elves better treatment but from henceforth I've decided that the Society of Protection of Elfish Welfare is to be closed from now on." She sat down and turned a shade of red that rivelled even Ron. Seamus Finnigan tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around to look at him.

"Finally Hermione, I thought you would never learn. Tch, and they call you smart, wait till I tell my mam bout this!" Hermione looked at Seamus and turned away a very disgruntled expression on her face. Harry and Ron both stared at her and feeling waspish she snapped at them.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing!" They chorused but neither of them could hide the grins on their faces from Hermione's announcement. Hermione to turned to get up and as she did said to them

"Face-bothered? I think not…"

The rest of the day was pure hell for Hermione with her being continually congratulated about giving up S.P.E.W. from everyone including the teachers and not being able to say the answer to every question that a teacher asked.

At the end of Transfiguration, which was first period, as Hermione was making her way out of the door, Professor Mcgongall called Hermione back.

"Hermione, can I speak to you for a moment?" Hermione turned around and made her way to the formidable desk where Professor McGongall sat.

"Yes, professor?" she asked wondering what on earth she had done.

"I was wondering if you were feeling alright today? It's just you didn't even attempt to answer a question today. Is it because of your decision to give up that spew thing you had?" Hermione gritted her teeth and said:

"I'm fine and its S.P.E.W not spew. It just wasn't working out and for me not answering questions I just didn't know the answers."

"You didn't know the answers? Miss Granger there must be something wrong…" Professor McGongall said, though there was a twinkle in her eye as it was said.

"I'm fine Professor, now if that's all…" Hermione said, turning to the door. But Professor McGongall interrupted her.

"No, there is something else. You asked me for a book a couple of weeks ago and I made sure that Madam Pince ordered it and I have been informed that it arrived today so if you want to check it out, before anyone else does, I would go the library now." Hermione looked as if her grandma had just died and she had missed the funeral.

"Sure." She said weakly and walked out of the classroom. She caught Harry and Ron up and said to both of them.

"Hey, could you two possibly go to the library for me and get this book out, its just I need to go and get something from the commonroom." She handed them the piece of parchment and they went their separate ways. About 10 minutes later they met up again and Harry said uncertainly to Hermione, not sure what her reaction would be

"Hermione, I'm really sorry, but someone has already checked it out." Hermione stared and then murmured.

"Malfoy is going to pay so bad…"

A.N. Hey, Chapter 2, complete and ready for you guys to review. Tell me what you think, I'm not asking for a long review just enough.

By the way, I've just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It is definitely my favourite but I wouldn't recommend that you take really young children to it (very dark film). I loved it though!

So next Harry Potter trivia question:

Which is your favourite Harry Potter Book and why?

Remember R&R, not rest and relaxation but Read and Review!
