That night before the party, Ginny chose to wear something a bit more provocative. She opted for a low cut top and skin-tight jeans with killer heels and heavy eye make-up. When Ginny arrived at the Head Boy and Girl dorm, Hermione's jaw literally dropped. "Looks like you sussed out my plan" said Hermione with a smile on her face. "Parts of it at least" replied Ginny. "I still don't understand how going to a party is going to get Harry angry." "Relax, Gin. Everything will explain itself in due time" said Hermione mysteriously, before getting everything ready.
Draco walked downstairs wearing a half-unbuttoned shirt and black pants. "Ginny, wow, umm, you look, nice, umm..." Draco said rather nervously. "I left something in my room." He then practically sprinted back up the stairs. Hermione looked at Ginny and said "Tonight is gonna be fun."
Within half an hour everyone had arrived and the party was underway. Hermione had them playing ridiculously lame, boring games, so when she went to get Charade cards, everyone jumped at Draco's idea of playing Truth or Dare. "Wasn't my party fun?" asked Hermione with indignation when she came back into the room. "Honestly, no," replied Draco. "No offence" added Ron. With a huff Hermione sat down, but quickly got over it and joined in the game.
"Ok, my idea, so I go first," said Draco. "And I pick... Blaise. Truth or dare?" "Dare" Blaise replied straight away. "Ok, I dare you to... make out with Ginny" Draco said with a smug smile on his face. Ginny smiled back. He doesn't think I'll do it she thought to herself. When Blaise reached her, she began to kiss him with as much enthusiasm as she could muster. After what seemed to Ginny like a lifetime, the group called them to stop, and she looked around the group with a smile. Harry snarled and turned away. Everyone looked ecstatically happy about it.
"Ok so I'll go next" stated Blaise. "Granger, truth or dare?" "Truth" answered Hermione, much to the dismay of the group. "If you had to pick one person out of the group to go out with, who would it be?" The group looked at Blaise in shock, as this question seemed far too gay for him to ask. He looked at them and shrugged. "Umm..." Hermione said very quietly. Ron listened very carefully, as he felt sure she would say his name. She mumbled something under her breath. "Didn't quite catch that" said Blaise mockingly. She mumbled louder. "For God's sake Hermione just answer!" Ron yelled, then quickly went red. "Luna!" Hermione yelled back. "What?" asked the entire group collectively. "I'm a lesbian" she said matter of factly. Everyone looked away, except for Lavender who gave Hermione an inquisitive look.
"Ok, Ginny, truth or dare?" asked Hermione. "Dare" said Ginny boldly. "I dare you to... do a striptease!" challenged Hermione. "WHAT?" exploded Ron. "Except Ron, of course" Hermione hastily added. Ginny got up and stood in the middle of the circle, while Ron left the room and Hermione waved her wand at the stereo. The song Lady Marmalade began to play, to which everyone shouted "NO!". Hermione laughed, waved her wand again and Dirty by Christina Aguilera played. The group made a groaning sort of sound, so with just a hint of impatience Hermione waved her wand again. Push Up blasted from the speakers, the group cheered and Ginny began to dance.
From the other room, Ron could hear the boys cheering and the girls laughing. After around two minutes of sitting in a chair, grumbling, he marched into the other room and switched off the stereo. "I think it's time for a new game" he declared, much to the dismay of the entire group, especially Blaise.
After playing I Never and Spin the Bottle, both of which passed with no more startling discoveries, the party slowly began to wind down. Draco cleaned up as Hermione was nowhere to be found. When he returned from the kitchen, Ginny and Blaise were making out next to the bookcase. He walked over, pulled Blaise off her and pushed him out the door. He looked at Ginny with what seemed like disgust mixed with lust and jealousy. He went upstairs to the bathroom, where he found Luna and Hermione making out topless. Both girls squealed and ran into Hermione's room. He laughed quietly, then went into his room. He was halfway through getting changed, when he saw Ginny standing in his doorway.
"Interesting party" she said. Draco simply looked at her, then walked to the window. "What do you want?" he asked rather tiredly. "Seeing as how Hermione's room is 'occupied' and Ron's crashed on the couch, I need a place to sleep" Ginny said, with a slightly pleading note in her voice. "You do have a dorm you know" Draco said in a mocking tone, but Ginny could see that he was smiling. "On the other side of the school. I know you don't really care, but I don't want a detention for being out this late." "Fine, you can sleep here, but stay on your side of the bed."
Ginny crawled into one side of the massive bed, which was so wide that she couldn't even feel Malfoy lying on the other side. To her surprise, he fell asleep quickly. She lay awake for what seemed like a lifetime, and eventually drifted off herself.
