Fun and Unity

Chapter 3

Draco's eyes lit up, as he thought of all the possibilities of this game, all the things he and Harry could do…

"Draco! Draco! Earth to Draco, are you alright?" Hermione was waving her hand frantically in front of Draco's face trying to get his attention. "Draco are you awake, you've been spacing out a bit."

"What…oh, yeah, I'm fine, just…thinking…" Harry smirked knowingly, causing a slight pink tinge to come to Draco's cheeks, forcing his to examine his shoes.

"Well come on then, everyone in a circle, it's easier to play that way." Everyone listened to Harry's instructions and sat down in a circle, as he got the bottle of firewiskey and some glasses.

He poured a generous amount into each, before putting in a few drops of what seemed to be water, but Draco knew better, potions wasn't his best subject for nothing. It wasn't water it was veritaserum.

Harry levitated all the glasses around the circle, letting everyone take one as they passed.

"Since you Slytherins are our guests of honor, I say one of you should go first." Harry proposed, with a twinkle in his eye, not too far from Dumbledore's.

"Well if you insist Harry." Draco took the invitation to start the game. "Harry, truth, dare, or strip?"

"I think I'm going to play it safe with a truth. " Harry smirked, he wondered what Draco would ask.

"Ok, I've been admiring your tattoos, but I have yet to figure out what they mean, care to indulge?" Draco asked, true wonder swirled in his eyes.

"Anything for you Draco." Harry said as he took a shot of the veritaserum-spiked firewiskey and grimaced.

"Well the lion and snake on my left arm are there to show that I'm a Gryffindor lion on the outside, but a Slytherin snake on the inside, because in my first year, the sorting hat wanted to put me in Slytherin, but everyone I had met so far had told me that Syltherin was the house for evil, so I chose Gryffindor."

Draco gazed upon Harry with a look of true amazement, he had never known that the 'Gryffindor-golden-boy', was really a Slytherin snake at heart.

Harry grinned at the look on Draco's face, it was priceless.

Harry then pointed to his right arm where the shaggy dog was. "This is in memory of my godfather, Sirius Black, he was an unregistered animagus, and the closest thing to a father I had."

Harry's finger trailed down his arm to the werewolf and stag. "The werewolf is for Remus Lupin, who you all probably know is a werewolf, but he was also Sirius and my dad's best friend. And the stag is for my father, he was also an unregistered animagus, a stag, they all became animagus when it was the full moon and Remus became a werewolf, they felt he needed the company."

Harry lastly pointed to his lower left arm. "This phoenix is Fawkes, Professor Dumbledore's, it's there to remind me I always have people behind me. And last the dragon." Harry's face tinged pink, as he looked down to the floor, he really wished he didn't have to tell everyone, but the veritaserum wouldn't let him.

"Well it's actually…a…uh…dragon for…youDracobecauseI'vehadacrushonyousincefourthyear…"

Draco blinked a couple of times trying to sort through the jumbled up mess that had just come out of Harry's mouth.

"Wait, what? I don't speak mumble-talk Harry."

Harry frowned, clearly upset he had to say it again.

"I said…it's a dragon for you Draco because I've had a crush on you since fourth year…and I knew your name meant dragon…"

Ron's mouth was hanging, he couldn't believe what he had just heard, Hermione on the other hand was smirking, she had known from the start about Harry 'little crush' on Draco.

"Okay, now that we're done, it's my turn." Harry had a mischievous glint in his eyes, that's never good. "Blaise, truth, dare or strip?"

Of course, Blaise never being the one to step down from a challenge, chose dare.

"Let's see…" Harry's eyes searched the room for inspiration, "Your dare is to…French kiss…Ron!" Harry smirked, he couldn't wait to see this, unlike Ron, who didn't know his secret crush, Harry knew exactly whom Ron liked, and he was dead set on getting them together.

Ron's face flamed red, all the way to his ears, as Blaise slowly crawled over to him and cupped his cheek with his hand, bringing Ron unbelievably close, before whispering, "I've seen you admire my arse, Ron, don't deny your fondness for me."

If humanly possible, Ron's face became an even darker shade of red, as Blaise caught his lips in a breathtaking kiss, that left both seventh years panting, staring into each other's lust filled eyes.

"Well, I think we all know who Ron likes now." Hermione stated, pulling Ron and Blaise out of their trance. Blaise's face tinged pink, as he slowly attempted to crawl back to his spot, when two strong arms wrapped around him and pulled him into a lap.

Blaise squeaked at the random public display of affection from Ron, he never had expected him to do something like this.

"I'll never let you go." Ron whispered into Blaise's ear, as he trailed his tongue up Blaise's neck and onto the shell of his ear, emitting a gasp from the Slytherin, who clutched onto Ron's legs for support.

"Alright, alright, enough gay action, can we please continue the game?" Blaise glared at her for her obvious interruption. Pansy just batted her eyelashes, seemingly innocent.

"Well, since Blaise is a bit preoccupied right now, I'll just take his turn." Pansy smirked at Blaise who just frowned back and mumbled something close to stupid girls, and ruining the moment.

"Let's see, who shall be my first victim…" Pansy glanced around the circle stopping at the slightly cowering Neville. "Neville…truth, dare, or strip?"

Neville gulped, he really wished he wasn't here right now "uhh…truth…" Neville shivered and he reached down to his glass, and downed a bit of his drink.

"Let's see, Neville you don't seem to like anyone in this room, so who is it that you like, and have you made a move on them?"

Neville visibly paled, "I…I…I'm dating someone, but I didn't ask her out, she asked me, I'm a bit shy you know…sorry I didn't tell you Ron, but Ginny and I have been dating since last year, I really like her you know…"

Neville looked at Ron, hoping he wouldn't get mad at him.

"At least it's you Neville and not some hormone driven 6th year who's only going out with my sister to get in her pants. I know I can trust you with her."

The color slowly returned to Neville's face, as he let out a breathe he didn't know he was holding, and smiled at Ron for his acceptance.

"Alright, it's my turn isn't it?" Neville said, a little less nervous with that fact off his chest. "Umm…Vincent…truth, dare, or strip?"

Vincent blinked his eyes, surprised someone had noticed him, "Truth." He simply stated.

"Umm tell, everyone 2 of your best kept secrets."

Vincent's face flashed a bit of worry, but only for a second, before his picked up his drink and sipped a bit, the veritaserum kicking in rather quickly.

"Well, first of all, I'm not dumb like you Gryffindors and the rest of the school thinks, my friends know, but I had to keep it a secret, my father forced me to, he said if everyone thought I was dumb, they'd tell me secrets without even thinking it over, he said it'd make me a good spy for Voldemort." "

My second secret is that I have a crush on a Gryffindor seventh year girl named Hermione. Her intellect far surpasses mine, but I would be thrilled for the privilege of getting to know her." Vincent smiled and blushed as Hermione's face did the same.

"I…I…I don't know what to say…I…I'm flattered…" Hermione's smile widened even more.

Vincent's face lit up. "Hermione, would you give me the privilege of being your boyfriend?"

Hermione jumped up and ran to Vincent, and pecked him on the cheek. "Of course, I would love to!" Vincent smiled at his now girlfriend Hermione.

"Okay, Seamus, truth, dare, or strip?"

A wicked smile crossed Seamus' face as he chose dare.

"Okay, Seamus I know that you are as straight as an eight, so your dare is to snog the guy you like, if they are in this room."

Seamus' eyes lit up as he turned to the person next to him, Dean. Seamus had been nest friends with Dean for a little less than 7 years, and had had feelings for him since third year. He was glad he could finally act upon them.

He straddled Dean's lap and slid his hands up his shirt, all the while kissing him passionately. Seamus' hands moved up his chest, then to his arms, then face. He cupped Dean's cheek as he pulled back, slightly out of breath, he finally said, "Dean, I love you."

Dean looked ecstatic as he pulled Seamus in for another mind-blowing kiss, before pulling back and saying, "I love you too Seamus, more than you could know."

Seamus then remembered they were not alone as Pansy tried, but failed to stifle her giggles, as did Hermione. Seamus' face turned pink and he buried his head into Dean's neck, as Dean started rubbing his back, and glaring around the circle at the people who made his Seamus feel bad.

Seamus then whispered something into Dean's year, and Dean mumbled a sure love, back to him.

"Well Seamus doesn't want to look at you right now, so I'll be taking his turn. Pansy, truth, dare, or strip."

"Dare" Pansy declared.

"Alright, same dare, minus the whole 'straight as an eight' part." Dean grinned.

"Fine." Was all Pansy had to say, as he grabbed the wrist of Gregory and started to snog him senseless. After a few moments she let go and smirked.

"I don't really mind as we are already going out, no secret there." Gregory smiled, with a glazed over look in his eyes as he thought about his girlfriend.
