anyways, now we get on to the infamous party. enjoy, and guess what, lots of pranking going on in latter chapters, so get ready for it!
Chapter 10: French Kisses and Tacks
Camy smirked as her letter-bird brought an urgent note from Ginny informing her of the new additions to their late-night party. This could be very interesting. When Dobby appeared, holding the smoking potion which Snape had sent her, Camy was excited to get started.
"Hey Dobby?" She questioned.
"Yes, Camy?" He asked.
" Do you think you and a few of the house-elves could help me ready my chambers for tonights party? I'm afraid I'm not quite up to it yet." Camy explained. Dobby grinned and nodded, eyes glowing slightly.
"What did Camy have in mind? Dobby would be glad to help. Dobby would even have Winky helps Camy! Maybe Camy can cheer up Miss Winky! Miss Winky is missing her soul mate." Dobby confided. Camy was immediately interested. A soul mate for the infamous Winky-the - house - elf? This could be interesting.(a/n ... yeah...late night with my cousin. Will be showing up in a one-shot for Winky later...um..yeah...).
"Well, first we'll need to redecorate. Then we need to have refreshments, of course. And games. Definitely games..." Began the assistant teacher.
------------------
When Ginny finished preparing for the late-night at Camy's quarters, she marched down the stair case from the girls dormitory to find three of her brothers and two family-additions waiting for her in the common room. Quickly she hid her grin. This was going to be great. She knew that none of these students had ever experienced one of Camy's 'parties'. This would certainly be an experience.
"hallo Hermione! I see you brought your boys and the twins!" Seamus, who'd been invited by Ron and Harry, called out to the red-headed-quidittch-tom-boy. Just as he had known it would, this annoyed the boys.
"Her boys, her boys! I belong to no-one i tell you!" A distraught Ron announced.
"Maybe you better tell Lav-Lav that." Ginny snickered, which made him pause as she intended.
"Hello Ginny. I wasn't sure what, exactly we'd be studying, so I brought all my books. oh, I do hope it's not potions..." Seamus trailed off. Ginny, of course, was floored.
"Seamus...we're going to a social event, not a morgue! We call it a "Party". We do this thing there called 'having fun'." Ginny teased. "You do know what fun is, right? Cause I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. Hanging around with ickle-ronnikins can have that effect." Ginny continued, smirking slightly. 'Her' boys looked floored, and Seamus looked quite startled as well before he laughed..
"Ginny! where did that come from? I thought you liked us!" Ron proclaimed, hurt by his sisters mockery.
"Huh? OH, sorry. hehe. Couldn't help it. Had Snape last period." Camy explained. The boys all nodded in understanding.
"He does tend to make people rather put-out, doesn't he?" Harry asked, faking disappointment.
"Yep. Really annoying when he rubs off on one, too. anyways, let's go, shall we? Off to the Room of Requirement!" Ginny proclaimed, flinging her arms about grandly. Everyone else in the group blinked for a few moments, then shrugged.
"Why the Room of Requirements?" Harry asked. Ginny giggled and Harry blushed.
"Cause that's where she lives, of course. Dumbledore, in his infinites wisdom, realized that she would need some place which could easily change to fit her moods or amuse her. A bored Camy is something you never-ever want to meet, trust me. Of course, things get interesting really fast, but...sometimes it's not worth it. Like that time an ogre nearly had us for lunch because we were trying to get one of his hairs...(a/n i love making references from other movies. guess which one this one was inspired by!)..." Ginny trailed off, before turning on her heel and marching towards the portrait hole. The twins shrugged at their sister's multiple personalities and followed, sashaying back and forth across each others' paths along the way. The others, severly clued out, followed more sedately at a brisk walk.
------------
Camy smiled as she told the statue in front of her room to allow entrance to the students outside it's perimeter. Ordinally, of course, there'd been no statue. Dumbledore had added it to make her feel more like the rest of the staff.
As the children entered, Camy was gratified by the awed looks they gave the surroundings. Camy herself was rather pleased. After all, it wasn't everyday she entertained a silver duo and twin pranksters! When Ginny caught Camy's eyes with raised eyebrows, Camy winked. The room did look spectacular, after all.
The walls seemed to have disappeared, instead there was a forest on one side, opposite the door. A cliff seemed to be where they had entered through, the door disappearing after they'd closed it behind them. The side opposite the fire-place was a huge meadow, and the fireplace was a wall with fireplace and two bookshelves beside it. They saw no hint of other rooms besides this one, and no sleeping accommodations. Harry shrugged, it was after all the Room of Requirement and therefore very changeable. The others puzzled on it a little longer, but left it to magic. Ginny didn't need to puzzle at all. She'd seen Camy's hand at decorating before. This was not some of her best work, either. But, as Ginny knew very well, Camy's best work usually happened under intense stress.
The floor was one huge fluffy cloud, underneath which a garden of gi-normaus roses bloomed continually. by the cliff stood a table with all sorts of treats, both muggle and wizarding. All those with a muggle-background, and Camy, laughed when the twins found the soda. When one of them tried it, the other watching skeptically, everyone laughed when he exclaimed in surprise.
"It fizzes!" The twin who'd drunk some declared, as though air had just been invented.
"It can do that." Camy laughed. Once everyone had settled down with a few snacks, the games began. "Alright, then. Time to get started!" Camy announced. "What game should we do first?" She questioned the group.
"What games do you have?" The ever-practical Seamus asked.
"Truth or Dare!" The twins exclaimed as one, before quickly chugging some more lemon-lime soda. Camy looked at Ginny.
"You sure? It's more ... dangerous... when played my way." Camy informed them.
"Is that a challenge! Bring it on!" The second twin demanded. Camy shrugged.
"Hey, Gin-jabber, you explain our rules whilst I get the mechanics." Camy suggested. Ginny nodded in agreement while Camy disappeared somewhere in the forest side.
"Okay, here's how we like to play. One: no cheating. If you chose dare, you either do it, or you get to draw an alternate dare from out of the hat. two: if you chose truth, there's inversiteum, which is related to veriteserum (a/n sp?) but not illegal, involved. So beware. No lying for you! third: no boring dares! The group's allowed to give you suggestions, or you can make them draw from the hat. If they draw from the hat once, however, they don't get to pick an alternate. Any and all props needed for the game can be transfigured by either the one giving the dare, the one doing the dare, or a selected helper." Ginny rattled off.
"don't forget what happens if they try to lie during the truth part." Camy called from her position in the forest, a rattling sound of tinkling glass accompanying her words.
"Right. If you try to lie during the truth part, a secondary part of the potion turns you into an animal for twenty-four hours. I wouldn't suggest that, though, cause you'll still have to go to class." Ginny added as Camy returned from the woods with a small cauldron and a big top-hat. Placing the portable cauldron down in the center of the circle of people, she grinned.
"okay then, who wants to go first?" Enquired the assistant - professor cheerily. Rons' hand shot into the air. Everyone looked at him in surprise, while laughing slightly.
"What!" He demanded.
"S'okay. You can go first, but you don't need to raise your hand. We're not in class." Camy reassured him. He blushed a deep - magenta-like color, but nodded.
"Seamus! Truth or dare?" Ron demanded.
"Truth." Seamus replied immediately.
"Who do you like?" He asked as Camy handed Seamus a glass of the potion from the cauldron. Seamus eyed the stuff doubtfully for a moment, it did look rather like pond-scum, and then gasped at the taste.
"It tastes like Strappleberry!" He proclaimed. The others looked at him in surprise and confusion. "A cross between strawberry and apple." He explained. Then he pondered Ron's question.
"You and Harry, of course. I mean, we are friends, right?(a/n muwhahha! couldn't resist!)" The head girl replied patiently , as though he aught to of known that already. Ron's ears turned red.
"Not like that! I meant who do you know...fancy?" He re-stated. Seamus looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Sarah Bentley." Seamus responded softly, a sort of dreamy look on his face.
"Who?" Harry and Ron demanded. Ginny hid a smile.
" A witch I met last summer, when I was touring Italy. Really hot." Seamus replied, much to the other two girls amusement.
"Well, that makes it 'Mus's turn." Fred laughed, ready to move on with the game.
"Alright then...Ginny. Truth or Dare?" Seamus demanded.
"Dare, naturally." Ginny responded.
"Alright then... I 'spose you could...no...um...draw from the hat!" Seamus chose, his mind still in shock from revealing who he liked. Ginny rolled her eyes and put her hand into the hat which Camy held out towards her. Pulling out a little slip of parchment, Ginny read it aloud.
"You are dared to lick a tree." At this pronouncement, many of the boys grimaced and Camy wrinkled her nose. Shrugging, Ginny stood up and walked over to a tree. It seemed to be oak. Bending her head sideways, Ginny licked the tree. Calmly she sat back down in the circle and accepted the glass of water which Camy handed her. They were about to continue when Ginny gasped.
"EW! i just back washed tree!" She shrieked. This caused laughter to break out around the circle(a/n this actually happened to a friend of mine. It was really gross, but funny!).
"Camy, your turn! Truth or Dare?" Ginny asked, trying to wipe the taste of tree off her tongue.
"Dare."
"Okay, then i dare you to...french kiss a dog! " Ginny declared. Never one to back down from a dare, Camy summoned a dog from thin air. Then she held the dogs face and proceeded to air kiss it. When she saw the flabbergasted looks on the faces of the others, Camy looked puzzled.
"What were you thinking!" Camy demanded, looking slightly grossed out. (a/n the idea for this came from two places. #1 : the annoying commercial by the computer-laptops guy. #2: we dared our friends little brother to air kiss a dog, but made the mistake of telling him to 'french kiss' it, instead of saying 'air kiss'. We hope he was only faking...).
Quickly Camy turned to asking.
"Gred, truth or dare?" She asked.
"Dare." He returned.
"okay then. I dare you to put tacks on all the chairs that teachers will sit on tomorrow." Camy ordered. Rolling his eyes, Gred walked back out the door, which had reappeared. Only moments later he was back, smiling in a self-satisfied sort of way.
"Alright then...Harry! Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
"Alright, I dare you to kiss every girl here." Gred declared. Shrugging, Harry turned to Ginny and kissed her on the check. Then he took Camy's hand and kissed it.
"Spoilsport." Gred sighed, but accepted the dare as complete. Afterwards came Ron and Forge, the game continuing long into the night.
------------------------------------
Well, that's all for now. This Chapter was kinda rushed since I realized i hadn't wrote it yet and want to get on to the next ones. Beware, not all days are in a normal succession of days! Meaning I'll probably skip a few months. I think you'll enjoy it anyways, though.
Once more: please review! I need feed back ! (obviously). I can't make it better if I don't know what you don't like, and what you do!
