Truth or Dare
Lily, Alice, Mary, Marlene, and Celestina were all sitting in a circle on the floor of the Gryffindor seventh year girls' dormitory. There was a bottle in between them.
Marlene stood up. "Welcome to the annual girls' back to school sleepover."
"Don't have to be so dramatic about it," Lily muttered.
"But I want to…" Marlene whined. Seeing all the weird stares, she quickly continued. "The first, and main activity will be truth or dare. As the head of all games and activities, I will spin first. Whoever it lands on must pick between truth and dare, and I will give them the question, or dare. As for truth, you must answer correctly, and you must carry out the dare. If you fail to do so (and I will know if you don't tell the truth), there are consequences. Answer wrong for truth, and I have Veritaserum. Don't carry out the dare, and you must kiss the guy you most like. That's about it."
"Marlene, we know how to play truth or dare," Mary said.
"It was for Celestina's sake!"
"I'm pretty sure she knows how to play. Don't you?"
Celestina nodded.
Marlene pouted.
"Just spin the bottle already!" called Alice.
Marlene reached out and spun it. It landed on Mary.
"Truth."
"Who do you like?"
Mary blushed, saying, "No one."
"Oh, we know you like one. Everyone does."
"Fine. Evan."
There was a collection of 'oohs' at this, all coming from Marlene.
Mary reached out and spun the bottle, landing on Celestina.
"Truth or dare."
"Truth," Celestina replied.
"Who do you like?"
"No one."
"Spin the bottle, Celestina," Marlene said.
"Hey!" Mary cried. "Why do you take a 'no one' from her?"
"Simple. She's a first year."
Celestina spun, and it landed on Alice.
"Truth."
"Who-"
"No! Not who do you like, again!"
"I was going to ask who she thinks is cute."
"Close enough," Lily grumbled.
"Um… Frank, I quess."
"You guess?" Marlene roared. "You're bloody head over heels for him!"
Alice blushed, and reached for the bottle. She spun it, and it landed facing Marlene.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare. I'm not a wimp like all of you guys."
Alice appeared to be thinking. No one particularly cared, as she wasn't the best when it came to dares.
After a while she said, "Go to the guys' dormitories, and kiss Sirius. It doesn't matter where."
Marlene began to get up, but Celestina called out, "Wait! How do we know you did it?"
"I'll go!" piped up Mary.
"I don't trust you," Alice said.
"Then you go!"
"I don't trust her," Lily said.
"Why don't we all go?" asked Celestina. There was a mutual murmur of agreement.
The five tiptoed down, the stairs, and up the ones to the boys' dormitories. They stopped in front of the door to the seventh year boys' room, and let Marlene pass. She slowly opened the door.
Inside were six boys, all wide-awake, with heaps of chocolate around. Marlene pounced onto the bed with the most chocolate. She greedily stole some. Looking around, she saw it was Sirius' bed.
"Oops," she said sheepishly, and pecked him on the cheek.
The other girls in the doorframe giggled, and the guys looked at them for the first time.
"What are you doing here?" Remus asked.
"Truth or dare," Celestina said with ease.
"Yeah," Mary added. "Marlene had to kiss Sirius. And we needed to be sure she did."
"Marlene isn't the most trustworthy," sniggered Lily, earning a "Hey!" from Marlene.
"So," Celestina continued. "You want to play spin the bottle with us?"
The girls looked at her in awe, and she winked back.
"Aren't you a bit young for that?" coughed James.
"Oh, I won't be playing. I'll be watching."
Sirius grinned suavely. "I think we will."
"Down to the common room!" exclaimed Marlene.
The rest followed, sheepishly, so Celestina called back, "It's either this or strip poker!"
James looked at Remus. "Ever feel that she knows way to much?"
"All the time."
Though, Remus couldn't help but think that she might be pretty good at matchmaking.
When they got down, they sat in a circle on the ground.
"Okay, remember," Celestina started. "If you spin someone of the opposite gender, you kiss, otherwise, they take it, and spin. After you kiss someone, the person who did not spin the bottle spins."
Celestina put a bottle in the middle, and said, "Sirius, you first."
Sirius spun it, and it landed on Marlene.
They went behind the couch for five minutes, coming back looking very haggled.
"How was it?" giggled Alice.
"Yeah, haven't you been waiting for that forever, Marlene?"
"Yeah. I wanted to put him in my little black book. Now it's done, I never have to look at him again."
"I know!" agreed Sirius.
"Players," Mary muttered. The bottle landed on her, and seeing as she was also a girl, she spun the bottle. It landed on Evan. She blushed, and pecked him on the cheek.
Evan spun, and it landed on Alice. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips, but only for about a second.
Sirius took this opportunity to whine. "None of you are kissing deep enough!"
Alice's spin landed on Frank. She leaned over and pecked him on the lips. But, it grew until Lily whacked them with the bottle, laughing, and saying, "Get a room!"
Alice got off Frank, and turned to smirk at Sirius. "Deep enough for you?"
Frank looked to be contemplating something, until he finally burst out saying, "Alice! Will you go out with me?"
Alice smiled and exclaimed, "I thought you'd never ask!"
The two started snogging again, until Lily whacked them, again.
"Right…"
Frank spun the bottle, and it landed on Peter. Peter spun it, and it landed on Lily.
James looked a little uncomfortable. Then Peter squealed, "Yay! I've always wanted to do this!"
Remus had to semi hold James back, or else James would have pummeled Peter into a fine pulp. He was only just comforted by the fact that Lily looked very apprehensive.
Peter started slobbering over Lily who pushed him off, disgusted. James felt very torn; between unhappy, for Lily who was slobbered over, and anger that was aimed towards Peter.
Lily spun the bottle, and it landed on Sirius. She kissed him, and came back smiling.
"You know… Sirius, you're an awesome snogger."
James felt like committing suicide. Now that he thought about it, there was a toilet bowl upstairs perfect for drowning himself in.
He faked a yawn, and said, "Oh! Look at the time! I think I'll go upstairs."
He walked up the stairs, and into the bathroom, to the toilet.
The others stayed downstairs for a while, continuing the game. Around three in the morning they started heading up.
On the way up, Celestina heard Mary say "Why the bloody hell did she say that Sirius was a good snogger?"
Celestina sighed. "It's so obvious!" she said to herself. "Lily doesn't know it yet, but she likes James. But, he hasn't been paying as much attention to her lately. So, to make him jealous, she is subconsciously going for his best mate. It's simple, in a complicated way."
Celestina walked up to her bed, leaving one person in the common room, unseen, behind a giant armchair.
Cackling evilly, Rita Skeeter wondered to herself, "Who would pay more for this, Camilla, or Candy?"
