Malfoy was back in school the next day with his own nose back, except that
he woule go into a sneezing fit every ten minutes that would last for one
minute. Hermione couldn't look at him with out breaking into a fit of
giggles. In potions she couldn't look at Severus either without them both
laughing.
Other than that fact, the days where slow and boring. No one had anything to do and nothing from school ever changed. Severus and Hermione continued to meet in secret and Harry would cover for them mostly.
On one of these slow days, when Severus was to busy with class work to go out with Hermione, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Lavender, and Ginny were in the common room when Seamus and Dean came running in laughing. Shortly after, Neville came in red faced.
"Did you see the look on her face?!" Seamus exclaimed.
"Yeah. That was great Neville!" Dean answered.
Neville mumbled something.
"What did you do?" Ron asked curiously.
"Oh nothing. Neville here just mooned McGonagal," Dean said laughing.
"WHAT?!" Ron, Harry, Hermione yelled at once.
"Why?!" Hermione demanded.
Seamus and Dean exchanged evil glances, "Truth or Dare."
"I am never playing that with you two again!" Neville moaned putting his head in his hands, "McGonagal is going to kill me!"
"You guys are nuts," Ron said flatly.
"You three want to join?" Seamus asked excitedly.
"Yeah right!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Oh come on! We won't be that hard on you!" Dean begged.
"Yeah it would be a lot more fun with more than three! Come on, please????" Dean begged.
"I will," Harry said nervously.
"Alright Harry!"
"So will I," said Ginny and Lavender.
"I will if Hermione does," Ron said.
Hermione thought for a minute. "Alright, I guess it will be okay."
"What about you Neville?" Seamus asked.
"No way in he-"
"PLEASE?? We won't make you do anything that involves teachers anymore!"
"Okay. I guess I will." Neville agreed.
"Alright, let's do it. Bottle or no bottle?" Seamus asked them.
"Bottle. With eight it will be easier than choosing." Dean answered.
"Alright." Seamus transfigured a vase into a wine bottle and they got into a circle with it in the middle.
"I'll spin first," Dean said.
He spun the bottle and it landed on Ron.
"Truth or Dare?" he asked him.
"Um. Truth," He answered cautiously.
"Okay, who do you fancy?"
Ron paled. Looking down he mumbled something inaudible.
"What?" Dean asked cheerfully.
Ron mumbled something again.
"Can't hear you!"
"Lavender," he growled.
Dean and Seamus squealed while Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Neville tried to hide smiles. Lavender went red and looked at her hands.
"Hmm, that's interesting. Your turn." Dean sniggered.
Red faced Ron spun the bottle. It landed on Seamus.
"Dare," he said automatically.
Ron thought for a minute then his face brightened, "I dare you to go to the person you fancy and tell a speech that admits you like them, on bended knee," he said evilly.
Seamus bit his lip. "Do I have to?" he complained.
Ron smiled, "Either that or you have to kiss McGonagal."
Seamus shuddered. "I'll take the first one." He got to his feet and to the surprise of everyone, kneeled in front of:
"Oh dearest Ginny," he began in an elegant voice grasping her hands, "My heart is yours! You are my sun, my moon, my starlit sky! With out you, all is in darkness! The power of your sparkling brown eyes has enchanted me and I stand helpless against it! Please say you'll be mine and we can run away into the sun set!"
Ginny went from white to red. Seamus let go of her hands and went back to his spot in the circle with a goofy grin on his face.
"Oh you had better watch out, Seamus! Ron might hurt you if you aren't careful," Hermione warned.
"Spin the bottle, Seamus," Lavender coaxed.
Seamus reached into the middle of the circle and spun the bottle it landed on Hermione. Hermione's eyes went wide with fright. Seamus grinned evilly.
"Truth or dare, Hermione?" he asked.
"Um, dare," She said cautiously. Seamus' grin widened. "NO! I mean truth! TRUTH!"
"To late," Seamus said snickering, "First one goes. Okay, I dare you. to." His smile (if physically possible) got even wider, "I dare you to kiss Snape."
"WHAT!!" Hermione and Ron said at once.
"Doesn't she get another option?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, either that or kiss Malfoy," Dean said sniggering along with Seamus.
Hermione looked at Harry who looked just as nervous as she did. "Okay," she said slowly, "I'll take the first one."
"Your gonna kiss slime ball?" Lavender said in disbelief.
"Better him than Melon Nose," Hermione said crossly.
"True," Lavender agreed, "I would never do it though. To either of them"
The eight of them rose to their feet and left the Gryffindor tower. They headed to the dungeons with Hermione in the lead.
When they got there, Hermione acted nervous, though she was really excited to be able to kiss Severus again. She knocked on the door lightly and it was a moment before Severus answered.
"What is it, Hermione?" he asked her.
She looked behind her and saw her friends looking from around a statue.
"I was dared to kiss you," She said innocently, "Don't smile! To them I don't want to do this and I'm suppose to surprise you and stuff and this is the worst thing they could think of to do to me."
Severus frowned, "Did you tell them I was a bad kisser?"
"Severus!" she hissed. He tried to hold in his grin. "Now act surprised!" She grabbed his head and kissed him full on the lips. 'He's a good actor,' she thought to herself as she looked at the shocked expression on his face.
*** *Ron's point of view*
He saw Hermione knock lightly on the door with dread in his stomach. He really didn't want this to happen. He watched as she talked to him softly and suddenly saw him frown. Then she grabbed him and kissed him. Ron almost ran over to them and punched that Slimy git in the face. The only reason he didn't like Hermione with any one was because he thought no one was good enough for her. He felt like a big brother to her and didn't want anyone to hurt her.
Ron watched her kiss him.
And about a minute later she was still kissing him.
About two more minutes later they finally parted. Hermione looked kind of flushed as she ran from Snape back to them. Snape stared after her for a while and then went back into his dormitory.
When they got into the common room, they all collapsed into chairs.
"Why did it take you so long? Someone would have thought you wanted to kiss him," Lavender said.
"Well, he was surprisingly a great kisser, for a minute there I forgot who I was kissing. Then I opened my eyes and there was Snape. That's why I ran back," Hermione explained.
"Oh. Right," Lavender answered, "It's your turn to spin the bottle."
Hermione spun it and watched as it slowed and landed on Lavender. Hermione smiled evilly.
"Dare," said Lavender confidently.
"Okay, I dare you to kiss Malfoy."
