~x~
The night is Christmas Eve and the entire Weasley clan are together, as they complete their tradition of eating way too many sweets… oh, and listening to Celestina Warbeck, the only singer Grandma Weasley will listen to on this evening.
"Rose, you have got to leave me some of the fudge!" Hugo complains as his sister continues to scoff the pieces in the box that they were given to eat together.
"I will do… if you play truth or dare with me!" she laughs as she backs him into a corner, so to speak, since he never plays this game with her… not since she was getting so bold with her daring and then decided to dare him to jump off the roof of the Owlery… that didn't go down too well, with Madam Pomfrey in the Hospital Wing.
"Fine," he groans, "But if you are anywhere near as crazy as you were the last time, I will tell Mum and Dad!" he threatens to 'tell on her to Mummy', which never goes down well.
She narrows her eyes at him and shakes her head. "I wasn't crazy; I was hyper from all the sweets that you made me eat that time. And, anyway, you didn't have to jump off the top of the Owlery!"
He rolls his eyes, deciding that he can never win, but nods his head. "Fine, you win. Start it off then, since it's your game."
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth... actually, no, dare!" he says, remembering the reason he asked for a dare last time was because she was pressuring him about loving Jade or whatever… someplace where he does not want to go near ever again.
Her eyes sparkle as the influence of fudge overtakes her body, making her mind even crazier than it is normally when she plays truth or dare. "I dare you to… kiss Victoire on the lips," she challenges with a grin which intensifies as he groans.
"Fine," he sighs, standing up and moving across the room, staggering slightly as he almost falls over one of Victoire's baby's toys that are always lying around the floor. Then he bends over and presses his lips to hers for a short moment, regretting it as everyone in the room turns to look at him in silent shock, just as Teddy pulls him off.
"Oh, that's just because he's hyperactive, like he was with the Owlery jump thing he did," Rose says in explanation, standing up in the suddenly silent room with the empty pot of fudge. "He ate all the fudge… no wonder he did that!"
Hugo narrows his eyes at his sister in anger, as his father comes across to take him out of the room, his protests of innocence ignored… but the only thing Hermione hears is:
"He jumped off of the Owlery?"
All I could think of… sorry it's a) a little long and b) a bit more crack-fic-y than it probably should be.
Don't fav/alert without review please!
