Chapter Eight

Ron, Hermione and Harry had exchanged nervous grins at the idea. Taking that as acceptance the twins got up and left the room, returning a few minutes later with a small crystal bottle.

"Veritaserum! Where did you get that?" Hermione asked.

"Stole it." Fred winked. "Right…everyone take a swig…it'll guarantee the truth. We've also got a handy spell…binds you to doing the dare or suffering the consequence. Like an unbreakable vow almost, except you don't die if you refuse."

"What does happen?" asked Harry.

"Nothing much…you just get covered in fur, suffer from chronic diarrhea, radiate the stench of onions, garlic and dung for several minutes and…oh yeah, I almost forgot…you have to do the dare in the end anyway 'cause the spell makes you…so don't say 'no I can't do that' or you'll get all those things happen to you." George explained. The three friends looked worried but agreed nonetheless.

Fred and George took out their wands, performed the spell upon themselves, before turning on the three others and cursing them as well. Then each of them took some of the truth-telling potion. They were ready.

"Okay….you all know the rules of this excellent muggle game that our poor old Dad told us about as children. Now…it was our idea…so…we'll go first." Said Fred. "I think, George, that Harry should go first. What do you think?"

"I agree dear brother," said George. He looked at Harry. "Truth or dare?"

Harry stayed silent for a few seconds, contemplating which one to choose. The twins were notoriously horrible at this game so either way the truth or dare would be bad. Which one to go for was the question? He couldn't lie or get out of a dare which was annoying. Finally, he chose,

"Truth."

The twins grinned.

"Name," said Fred

"every" said George

"girl"

"or boy"

"you've ever"

Fancied." George finished the question with a smirk.

Harry grimaced but the truth poured from his mouth.

"Cho, Ginny, Jessica Alba and I had a tiny crush on Seamus for a bit." Harry turned bright red.

Hermione howled with laughter, as did the others. "By the way you three Weasleys'…Jessica Alba is a muggle actress. She's hot though, so it's no wonder Harry liked her. The whole Seamus thing though…that's unexpected."

"I'm not gay!" Harry protested "I just had some kind of crush on him…I don't know why. It was the only time it ever happened to me. I'm not gay!"

"I know mate…you're taken truth-potion so there's no way you'd be able to say that if it was a lie." Ron clapped his friend on the back, still chuckling. "You are bi though."

Harry folded his arms, sulking.

"Anyway…my turn to choose…uh..." Harry's eyes traveled over the four other players, trying to decide who to pick. He smiled "Hermione…truth or dare?"

"Truth also please." Said Hermione.

"Wimp." Fred said under his breath. Hermione punched him lightly.

"Okay Hermione…same question…no wait, that's boring…um…have you ever fancied or done anything sexual with a girl?"

Hermione blushed but made no attempt to resist telling the truth.

"I fancied several girls whilst we were at Hogwarts, and one person who wasn't at Hogwarts, and I did several sexual things with two of them. I fancied Jenny Whitmore, you guys don't know her, Lavender Brown…yes Ron, I know you two dated…Padma Patil, Parvati Patil…well I have to like both don't I, they're identical…and Tonks. You guys don't know her either. Jenny was in the year above us…your year Fred and George…she was a Ravenclaw though. She spent a lot of the time in the library, where I got to know her. She was on of the girls I did stuff with. The other one was Padma. I don't have to specify what I did with them do I, 'cause it wasn't part of the question?" asked Hermione. The boys all nodded, wide-eyed. "Fine…it wasn't anything major. I kissed the two of them, went down on Jenny, Padma went down on me a few times…she liked performing oral…she's a lesbian by the way…and there was some mutual masturbation with both of them. Simple. Now…it's my turn to pick someone."

"Wait…wait…you….your a…bi…a bisexual as well?!" Ron stuttered.

"Yes Ronald…but I prefer boys." Hermione stated as if it were the most obvious thing ever. The four boys stared at her astounded. "And if you want to know which ones, you'll have to wait. Now…I pick you George…truth or dare?"

"Dare." Said George as he grinned mischievously. Hermione's eyes glinted with mischief as she pondered the dare.

"Lick Fred's cheek," She announced. George shrugged as if to say 'easy' and leaned over to lick his brother's cheek. "I meant the other cheek George…"

George's eyes widened, but he didn't dare refuse. He knew the outcomes of the cursing spell only too well. Fred stood up and pulled his trousers and boxers down slightly and George licked his freckly buttock.

"That wasn't very fair on me though Hermione." Fred complained.

"I know!" said Hermione, smiling innocently as she cocked her head. She stuck her tongue out at George. "How did he taste?"

George scowled at her. "Truth or dare Ron." He grunted.

"Dare." Ron replied. "No, I wasn't put of by your dare, 'cause after that experience I don't think you'd want someone to suffer something similar."

"Well, you're bloody wrong mate." George laughed. "Your dare is to kiss Harry…I mean proper full on with tongues and everything."

Ron and Harry's jaws dropped.

"He's my friend…and that isn't fair on me." Harry protested, knowing he'd be allowed to because the curse wouldn't affect him.

"Yeah…I can't kiss him, it's not right. Especially 'cause he's a bi. I can't do it." Said Ron. Just then hair sprouted up all over him, he radiated a disgusting smell and his face turned green underneath the fur as his stomach rumbled. "Be right back."

Ron ran from the room as the other four laughed.

"He'd forgotten about the spell. Don't worry; he'll only be a few minutes. The diarrhea passes quite quickly, as does the smell and fur. Only lasts a few minutes…it has to for the purpose of the game." Said Fred.

Sure enough after a couple of minutes spent in silence, Ron returned, furless and looking relieved. He walked a bit funny though. He sat down and Harry grimaced, the smell hadn't quite gone. It went after a few seconds and then Ron grabbed Harry's face and kissed him. Surprised, Harry didn't kiss back, but Ron didn't stop. He couldn't bear going through 'that' again. After about twenty seconds the kiss ended.

"Sorry mate." Apologized Ron as his ears burned red.

"It's okay." Harry replied. "I'm not attracted to you by the way…never have been, never will be…no matter how well you kiss."

Fred and George laughed and Hermione gasped as Harry told everyone that. Ron went even more red.

"My turn…Fred, you're the last one left…truth or dare." Ron looked at his brother.

"Hm…I think I'll go for truth, just because the dares so far have been nasty." Said Fred.

"Why did you want to play this game in the first place?" Ron asked.

"Because it is a fun game, you find stuff out about people and my brother and I wanted to dare Hermione to kiss us." Fred covered his mouth with his hand as Hermione, Ron and Harry gasped at the last part. "Hermione…truth or dare." Fred asked before the friends could react.

"Dare." Hermione said nervously.

"Kiss me and George, one after the other!" Fred ordered gently.

Hermione bit her lip, crawled over to Fred and George and gave them a quick kiss on the lips each. One after the other.

"Damn…I should have been more specific." Fred sulked.

"George…truth or dare?" Hermione asked, choosing the other twin because it was unfair to do Fred again so soon. She needed answers, and hoped he'd pick truth.

"Truth." said George. Hermione smiled, relieved.

"Do you or Fred fancy me?" she asked.

"We both do." George groaned, unable to lie. Fred put his head in his hands. Harry and Ron laughed at the three of them. "Harry, truth or dare."

"Dare mate." Harry grinned.

"I dare you to go into the kitchen and see what's going on." George wanted to take the focus away from his and his twin's affections for Hermione.

Harry got up and left the room. They four of them could hear a knocking and a muffled voice. There were a few shouts and the sound of a slamming door. Harry came hurrying back in.

"Um…your guests have gone…well, they weren't there when I went in…it was just your mum and dad…doing 'it' on the dining table." Harry turned pale. Fred, George and Ron turned slightly green, except for their ears which all went red. Hermione got up to go look. She came back after a minute.

"I cast a simple spell to allow me to see past the door. He's right…they're going at it like rabbits. I'd guess this is a regular thing for them. They probably like the risk and thrill of getting caught." Hermione shrugged her shoulders.

"You went to look!" Ron exclaimed. Hermione nodded. Ron looked like he was about to faint.

"Anyway…I did my dare…right…Ron, truth or dare?" asked Harry.

"Truth!" Ron replied frantically, not wanting another dare.

"Are you a virgin, and if not, who did you lose your virginity to?" Harry asked curiously.

"I'm still a virgin…" Ron mumbled, blushing.

"Aw…diddums." Fred cooed sarcastically.

"Shut it." Ron threw a cushion at his brother.

Just then Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came in, wearing dressing gowns.

"Harry dear, you scared us coming in like that." Mrs. Weasley scolded. "How dare you disturb our dinner party?"

"Mum, its okay…we know what was really happening." Fred chipped in.

Their parent's jaws dropped. Their faces went bright red.

"Oh Harry…" Mr. Arthur said sadly.

"I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Weasley." Harry apologized to them...they were practically his parents.

"Oh well…nothing we can do about it now. It's against the law to obliviate your own children." Molly said. She laughed at the children's faces. "I was joking. Now, come on…off to bed with the lot of you."

The five of them stood up and left the room, without Molly and Arthur following.

"I bet they're doing it again." Hermione commented. The Weasley children made retching noises. "Anyway…despite what went on…the confessions made and things done…it was fun and I enjoyed it. Goodnight guys." Hermione kissed each of them on the cheek once before walking inside the bedroom she stayed in.

"We'll see you tomorrow." Said Harry "Goodnight, and don't expect a kiss from me." He entered Ron's bedroom. Ron followed. The twins laughed and entered their own bedroom.

The five of them fell asleep quickly that night, and all of them had very 'entertaining' dreams…a side-affect of the potion and curse mixed together. The twins forgot to mention that part of the deal.
