"So, Kat…You seeing anybody?" Rose asked me.

It was the first Friday of the term, and I was hanging out in my dorm with Liz, Rose, and Lee. It was time for our annual Dare Challenge. We've been having these challenges since second year. It started off as an innocent round of "Truth or Dare", but it quickly turned deadly. Kind of.

"Nope. Are you?" I asked, even though I knew she has never been on a date before. She always in last place of the Challenge if it has anything to do with romance.

She shook her head and her pretty face turned glum.

"Okay. Enough talking." Liz said. "It's time."

We all gathered on the floor, around a tiny fire I started.

"I always admired your fires, Kat." Rose said, as she put her hand under the flame and didn't get burned.

"Okay. Who's first?" Lee asked. We never played for prizes, just pride. Last year, I came in second, just behind Liz. But this year, I wanted to come in first. The rules were simple. You have an entire to complete the Challenge. You could not tell anybody what you are doing. And the most important rule? Don't get caught.

"I will." Liz said bravely and Rose, Lee and I huddled together.

"What should we make her do?" Rose whispered.

We thought about it. Finally, Lee spoke. "Make her date a first year?"

I grinned. "Brilliant."

We all looked at Liz.

I cleared my throat. "We, Katerina, Ainslee and Rosemont-"

"Hey! My name is not Rosemont!" Rose shrieked.

I looked at her and rolled my eyes. "It sounds better when we all have long names."

"Fine." She started pouting.

"We, Katerina, Ainslee and Rosemont, challenge you, Elizabeth, to date a first year for as long as you can, without getting caught." I declared. "That includes at least one snog."

Liz's mouth dropped open.

"Do you accept this challenge?" I asked.

She nodded. "I hate you guys."

"Okay!" Lee said. "I got the perfect one for Rose." She whispered her idea in my ear. I burst out laughing and nodded.

"We, Ainslee, Katerina and Elizabeth, challenge you, Rosemont, to leave secret admirer notes to Hagrid." Lee announced.

Rose squealed. "That's so gross!"

"Do you accept this challenge?" Lee asked.

Rose, quite bravely, said yes.

"Brilliant." Liz yelled.

"Your turn Lee." I said.

"Don't worry, Kat. I got one." Liz smiled mischievously.

"What?" Lee asked warily.

"We, Elizabeth, Rosemont, and Katerina, challenge you, Ainslee, to date Blake Lyons."

Lee immediately shook her head. "Definitely not."

"You realize if you do not accept, you will automatically be in fourth place." Liz said.

This got to Lee. She hated losing. Especially to Liz.

"Fine." she said stiffly.

"Okay!" Liz said. "Last but not least, Kat."

They whispered and then stared at me.

"What?" I asked.

Rose cleared her throat. "We, Rosemont-."

"You just called yourself Rosemont." Liz pointed out.

"-Elizabeth and Ainslee," Rose continued ignoring her. "Challenge you, Katerina, to date the one, the only…Harry Potter."

My mouth dropped. "What! He's a teacher!"

"Sorry, Kat. But do you accept this challenge?" Rose asked.

I thought about it. It was against the rules. I could get expelled. But this would never happen. He wouldn't date a student. There would be no way. I could try and make a fool out of myself. I'll just take fourth place.

I looked at them. "Okay." They all grinned.

"We knew you would do it." Lee commented.

I took a deep breath. "May the final, and ultimate, Dare Challenge begin."
