The Million Dollar Question: Truth or Dare?
Chapter 4: January 6th 1995 (first Friday after school starts back up)
Hermione and Viktor had become attached at the hip following the ball, but they were not the only ones. Ginny and Harry could now not be mentioned let alone be seen without the other. Their favorite position to be seen in was with their lips attached in one of the big chairs in the Gryffindor common room. Also, Lavender and Ron were now at that puppy love stage of their relationship. Pavarti and Dean had been walked in on by every single one of his roommates, so much so that his roommates had begged Hermione to teach them a spell to see if people were in the room. Homenum Revelio was the spell she taught the boys to see if people were in the room. The couple was also asked by their fellow Gryffindors to learn locking and silencing spells because their roommates had taken to complaining about walking in on them and they could be heard down in the common room. Hermione then taught the aforementioned couple Colloportus and had to research another silencing spell because when they lost their concentration their Silencio spell stopped working. She found Neca Tacea in one of the books she read which rendered a whole room quite until the Done Magna counter-curse was cast. The Gryffindor tower took a vote and the room would not be taken from under the spell until the summer. Dean could also not be found the majority of the time and his roommates then confronted him and it was found that he had been spending time with Luna. His roommates took the mickey out of him until their girlfriends threated no physical contact until they stopped teasing Dean. Dean was very grateful to the girls so he asked Luna to ask the girl what each of their favorite flower, animal, and color was and then he painted pictures including their three favorites, he also did one for Hermione as a thank-you for the spells she taught them. The only couple that was not found out was Hannah and Neville, but that was because no one had thought anything of Neville's absence because he was always in the greenhouses. But, he now spent most of his time with Hannah usually in the Hufflepuff common room. Hermione could now never be found in the Hogwarts library for two reasons. One, she had found out that the Room of Requirement made it easier to find books. Two, she also spent a lot of time with Viktor on the Durmstrang boat.
Although no one had walked in on Viktor and Hermione yet, their body language and all-around happy disposition gave it away a few days after New Year's. So the five girls who had gotten ready with Hermione set out to confront her about it. They planned an all-girls sleepover for the first Friday after school started in the Room of Requirement. Ginny was in charge of getting Hermione there without her suspecting a thing. Hannah and Luna were in charge of food and Lavender and Pavarti were in charge of games and a way to get the details out of Hermione. So with that mission in mind the five girls set about to do their tasks before Friday. They all found ways to tell the guys and also Ginny have Harry make the guys meet in their room Friday night to lay down some rules regarding their room. Ginny also found a way to make Viktor disappear for the night so they could steal Hermione away from him. So with her boyfriend and two best friends out of the way and it being impossible for her to get a detention they were all set for Friday. When Hermione found that her Harry, Ron, and Viktor were all MIA she got a little worried that Harry and Ron had somehow found a way to confront Viktor, but when she asked Ginny where Harry was and she said that all of the fourth year Gryffindor boys were upstairs she was relieved. This also made her less suspicious when Ginny asked her if she wanted to go to the Room of Requirement to talk and hang out. When Hermione found the girls in the room she also did not worry, but was excited about hanging out with them.
"So Pavarti, I would ask how things are with Seamus, but I think all of Gryffindor knows that," Hermione said. At that all the girls laughed, breaking the little tension in the room that was there.
"Ya Pavarti, I think Hermione should be given an award for teaching those spells because really who can have sex that much!" Ginny said to a now blushing Pavarti. Hermione quickly joined her in the blushing category. They all laughed when they saw Hermione blushing.
"Why are you blushing Hermione? Is it because of the compliment or the sex thing?" Hannah asked. Hermione's blush deepened and with that blush Lavender and Pavarti's plan flew out the window.
"Do you know someone who has had sex more than those two?" asked an awed Lavender. Hermione's head slowly nodded in the affirmative.
"Who?" asked Ginny, who was almost positive she knew the answer.
"Manictr," Hermione answered under her breath. At this all the girls were holding back smiles.
"Who? I didn't hear you," Luna got out between smiling lips.
"Me and Viktor," said a now tomato red Hermione.
"Really? When did this happen and why are we just now knowing about this?" shouted a very enthusiastic Ginny.
"After the Yule Ball," Hermione answered still blushing beet red. At that the girls threw many questions at her all of which she answered blushing. After a while, once Hermione's blushing went down, the girls decided to play truth or dare. They also decided to go find their boyfriends to bring into the game. Ginny told Hermione where to find Viktor and Ginny went up to Harry's dorm to find the others. Once they were all back together the game started. They decided to make three rules. One, if you chickened out on a dare you had to remove a major article of clothing. Two, if dares were sexual then they had to be done with your partner. Three, you had to be under Veritaserum, which the room had so graciously provided, when you gave your truths. They used a bottle from one of the empty Butterbeers to use to pick the turns. Since it was because of Ginny that they all were here she spun first to pick her victim. Her spin landed on Hannah Abbot.
"Truth or dare, Hannah?" Ginny asked Hannah.
"Truth." Ginny thought about it for a while then smiled like the cheshire cat. Ginny handed Hannah the truth potion that the room had provided and told her to put a drop on her tongue.
After Hannah had hesitantly put the drops on her tongue, Ginny asked, "How far have you and Neville been, when was the first time you did so and how many times have you since." Neville and Hannah blushed crimson, but soon the potion started working.
Still blushing Hannah answered, "Well we've been all the way and the first time we did was over the summer a little after Neville's birthday and I haven't counted the number of times, but my guess would be more than fifty." The group sat gob smacked; no one, not even Ginny, had expected that one. Ginny handed her the antidote so when they all got their voices back she would be saying things she didn't have to.
"Wait a second, how long have you two been together and Neville why the hell didn't you tell us about this," Ron gestured between the two.
Neville fielded this question, "Umm well, we've been together since a little after Sirius Black broke into the castle with my passwords and I didn't tell you because you never asked." His roommates looked sheepishly away when he answered the second part and the girls looked impressed. It looked like none of them knew how to answer that, but lucky for them Hannah saved them.
"So I spin now, right?" Hannah asked to get the game back going. Ginny answered yes. Hannah spun and it landed on Dean. "Okay Dean, truth or dare?" He chose dare and after conferring with the girls Hannah dared him to take Luna down to Snape's lab and snog her there for at least five minutes or until Snape found them. After deciding he would do it Hermione was thinking about a way for them to see them doing the dare and a spell book appeared, with the spell Vultius Tibi which allowed the group to see Luna and Dean sneak down to the potions classroom and snogged for four minutes when Snape walked in on them, but was to shocked to give them detention or take off house points; they had been sitting on his desk and Dean had been on top of Luna. They sped out of the room when they had heard him spluttering. They ran all the way back up to the room without being caught. The room was in hysterics when they got back. Dean spun and it landed on Ginny who was dared to give Harry a lap dance. To which she did and to which had Ron alternating between shooting glares at Harry, 'who looked like he was enjoying himself too much' according to Ron, and Dean because he had chosen 'a dare like that for my baby sister,' the comment to Dean had just spurred Ginny on. She only stopped when Harry had started to get hard and had started blushing realizing that everyone would be able to tell if she continued. Ginny spun again and it landed on Hermione who was dared to tell the room what she had been doing with Viktor on Christmas after the Yule Ball. The dare was chickened out on, as Ginny knew it would be, but it did what she had intended, it got the boys interested and made Hermione blush, as well as glare as she removed her pants. Hermione then spun and it landed on Ron who was dared to go dance in his underwear on the heads table to which he declined and was called a party-pooper. He then removed his shirt and spun. It landed on Viktor who chose truth, knowingly falling into the trap that Ginny had set. He was given the truth serum and put a drop on his tongue.
"So what were you doing with Hermione after the Yule Ball," Ron asked Viktor, who had a glaring Hermione on his lap.
"I was making love to her," he said in what he hoped was a nonchalant tone. Hermione was blushing and still glaring at Ron, but had taken a hesitant glance at Harry, who looked indifferent, but was silently gritting his teeth and was squeezing the girl in his lap's hand. Ron looked nonplussed, but not like he was going to hurt Viktor which was what Hermione had been afraid of. She gave her boyfriend the antidote after she had exhaled in relief. Viktor spun and it landed on Pavarti, who was dared to strip tease, but declined and removed her shorts and her seat back on Seamus's lap. Pavarti spun and it landed on Lavender who was dared to go down to the Great Hall and decorate it with pictures of her and Ron snogging. She did so after Hermione cast the viewing charm on her. Lavender came and went without being caught and then spun with the bottle landing on Harry. He chose truth and was asked how he felt about Ginny to which he answered I love her. She responded with an 'I love you too.' What the group didn't know was that was the first time they had said it to each other. He spun and it landed on Luna, who chose truth and was asked the same question as Hannah.
"Well, we've made love, the first time was over the last break, and like Hannah I don't count, but I would guess about fifteen twenty times." Luna answered. Again the group was flummoxed and it was Neville this time who asked how long they had been together after she had had the antidote. "I think a few months by then right Dean; you asked me a few weeks after school started right?"
"Ya that's right," Dean answered the question he knew she knew the answer to. After that was cleared up Luna spun and it landed on Seamus who chose dare which was to jump into the Black Lake naked. To which he agreed with a shrug after Hermione place the viewing charm on him. He cast a warming charm on himself the stripped to his boxers which he vanished as he was jumping. He cast a drying spell on himself as he was getting out and putting his clothes back on. He also got back uncaught. Since they had cast a non-repeating spell on the bottle they all knew it was gonna be Neville, but Seamus spun anyways and it landed on Neville who chose dare. He was dared to snog Hannah in front of all of them because they were all wondering what it would look like because they had seen every other couple snog. Neville shrugged and turned Hannah's head around and started going at it; she was sitting on his lap like all the girls were with their boyfriends. Soon she was turned 180 and had her legs wrapped around him. The rest of the group asked Hermione and Viktor, who were on the snogging couples left to make them stop. Viktor used the Aguamenti spell to cool them down.
"You know what I just realized," Ginny said turning to Hannah, "You lied to us before." Hannah gave her a quizzical look as if to expand on her thought, "The night we were all getting ready for the ball we were talking about sex and Pavarti was the only one who said that she had, why did you lie to us?"
"Oh that, well I didn't know you guys all that well and I knew Neville hadn't told his friends about us, so it wasn't my place to tell you guys," Hannah answered looking rather sheepish, "Sorry."
"It's all right I was just wondering why that's all," replied Ginny, "Okay does everyone want to sleep in here because I know us girls are going to. Do you guys wanna stay?" Ginny asked to break the slight awkwardness that had arisen. When they all answered in the affirmative five double beds appeared in the room as well as a bathroom for them to get ready for bed in. The girls went in first and changed into their PJ's and brushed their teeth. Next the guys went in while the girls crawled into bed. In the bathroom five sets of pajama bottoms appeared for the guys. When they came out and crawled into bed the light went out and they all fell asleep.
