A Dangerous Game of Truth or Dare

So I finished reading the Hunchback of Notre Dame today for my class and I must say, Disney got it wrong. I'm so glad I didn't just watch the movie and go from there. One thing that I would like to say though is that I always research something before I write about it so I watched all the Harry Potter movies and read the 6th book. I know that the movies are different from the books in slight facts and I try to remember all these differences but I thought it would take longer to read the books to get my facts straight then to watch the movies and I needed the research done quickly but efficiently.

Summary: It's the final year at Hogwarts and the Golden Trio want to have some fun. While researching in the library, Hermione stumbles across a book that contains old games with magical tricks. When she decides on a school-wide game of truth or dare, she doesn't realize how quickly things begin to become out of hand. How far will things go before secrets begin to spill?

Chapter 6: A Kiss to Seal the Truth

Ginny was no being creative or secretive at all about trying to get Harry to drink the Veritaserum. Her first attempt was just as she turned away with Hermione and she quickly turned back around to splash Harry with it. Luckily, Harry had his mouth closed and didn't drink any. Her next attempt was in the Great Hall at breakfast. She casually walked over to Harry and sat beside him. She proceeded to yell at Harry that there was a spider on his back. Ron screamed and Harry turned for just a second to look at Ron then back to see Ginny pouring the potion into his drink. With a goofy smile, she left the table shortly after that attempt. What Harry believed to be her final attempt was when she convinced Luna Lovegood to get Harry to drink it by telling him it would keep the ear pixies from getting into his head. Harry was able to see through Ginny's attempt at using the Ravenclaw to trick him.

"Harry, this isn't fair!" Ginny whined.

"I'm sorry Ginny but that's just asking too much of me," Harry said. Harry was sitting on the couch in the Gryffindor common room with Ginny sitting on his lap. She had her back to Harry's chest and her head slouched down as Harry explained to her that he couldn't do it. Her head came back up slowly and she turned around to Harry and kissed him. It wasn't long before Harry's tongue found its way into Ginny's mouth and the kiss began to heat up. Ginny broke the kiss though after a few seconds.

"That didn't taste that bad," Ginny said.

"You tasted different. What have you been up to?" Harry asked.

"I emptied the bottle of Veritaserum into my own mouth before the kiss. Sorry Harry but it seems like you've been outsmarted." Ginny said.

"I guess the smarter one won this time, but let me ask you something," Harry said, "Look over at Hermione for a second." Hermione was sitting with Ron at the chess table playing a game with Ron winning as usual. Ron and Hermione had changed into more casual clothes now that they would spend the rest of the day in the common room. "Tell me; doesn't Hermione look hot in those jeans?"

"Yes," Ginny found herself saying uncontrollably and slapping her hands over her mouth.

"It seems like I'm not the only one to have taken some of the potion then," Harry said with a smirk, "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea now, was it?"

"Shut up Harry!" Ginny whined, "Now I'm going to have to deal with this for twenty-four hours."

"As will I," Harry said. Hermione looked up and saw that Harry and Ginny are looking at her.

"What are you two looking at?" Hermione asked.

"You," the two answered simultaneously. Hermione looked confused and Ron looked up at the two of them.

"And why would you be looking at Hermione?" Ron asked.

"To see whether or not she looked hot in those jeans," the two answered simultaneously again. Hermione blushed bright red and Ron became incredibly confused.

"Wait, what?" Ron questioned.

"I wanted to figure out if Ginny had taken some of the Veritaserum also so I used Hermione as a test," Harry said.

"Also? So you got him to take it?" Hermione asked.

"Yes," Ginny answered. Just then, Seamus, Dean and Neville came down from the dormitory.

"So what's going on down here?" Dean asked.

"I'm about to have some fun," Ron exclaimed as he looked over at Ginny and Harry.

"And how are you going about that?" Seamus inquired.

"Like this; Have you ever thought of touching Hermione?" Ron asked looking at Ginny and Harry.

"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Yes," the two answered as they paled. Hermione blushed even redder. Seamus and Dean begun laughing hysterically.

"So it looks like she did it, huh?" Seamus asked.

"You did this to me?" Ginny questioned.

"That's who I was going to kill this morning," Harry point out.

"Who were the last four people you kissed Harry?" Seamus questioned as his smile became a smirk. Harry slapped his hand over his mouth as he began to speak.

"Ginny, Seamus, Dean and Fred," Harry mumbled and no one understood it.

"Ginny, do me a favour and hold back Harry's hands. You're going to enjoy the answer to this question." Dean ordered and Ginny complied. She took both of Harry's hands from his mouth and held them down so he couldn't cover his mouth anymore.

"I ask again, who were the last four people you kissed Harry?" Seamus repeated.

"Ginny, Seamus, Dean and Fred," Harry blurted out. The room became completely silent. Harry looked around at everyone who was in a state of shock. "Is anyone going to say something?"

"Seamus?" Dean asked.

"Dean?" Ginny asked right after.

"Fred!" Ron exclaimed loudly. Shortly after, the group heard someone coming down from the dormitory.

"You called me?" Fred asked and Harry went red.

"You and Harry?" Ron questioned.

"Me and Harry, what?" Fred inquired.

"You kissed Harry!" Ginny exclaimed as she climbed over the couch and dove at her brother. Fred ran back up towards the dormitory with Ginny closely behind him

"Sorry, sis! It was an accident!" was all the group heard Fred say before the dormitory door closed and banging coming from the door was heard.

"So," Dean began, "You knew before you kissed me?"

"Yeah," Harry answered. "This is your fault Seamus."

"I know," Seamus laughed, "But we both know that it's going to get worse from here."

"What do you mean?" Ron asked.

"Well, the dares are going to get worse as acts of revenge," Hermione explained, "And although you can't dare the last person to dare you, there are other people you can get back at."

"We know who got dared last," Dean pointed out, "And it was Seamus who dared her so she can't dare him. Which one of us do you think she'll take revenge on?"

"I've done nothing wrong to her so I think I'm safe," Hermione said.

"Ron, you have years of things that she could use against you," Dean said.

"Yeah, but she's closer to Harry," Ron defended himself, "You've must have done something recent to bug her; like kissing Seamus, Dean and Fred."

"But she's still bitter about the break up between Dean and her," Harry said, "Maybe she'll use this as her chance to get back at them."

"Well, one things for sure," Hermione stated, "An angry Ginny is something we have on our hands and someone is going to feel her wrath." The three boys who were most likely to be the victim lost all the colour in their face and made their way to the dormitory to prepare for the next day.

I apologize again for not updating yesterday; I went to go see 21 and didn't get a chance to work on the story so I tried hard to finish it today. I have a good idea of what I'm going to do next to spice things up for everyone as a treat for all my readers to make up for the missed days and stuff
