"We only asked you both to stand in the closet," Ron laughed at them both, as they walked out.

"Well I'm sure you would have done the same thing if it was you and Lavender" Hermione winked at him, taking a seat on the floor beside Harry.

"Let's get this game moving now, shall we?" Pavarti cut in, and looked around the room wondering who she should ask next.

"You gotta ask someone who's not been asked yet, like....Lavender!" Hermione suggested, grinning evily.

It seemed as if the whole room knew exactly what Pavarti would ask Lavender if she chose truth, yet Lavender was oblivious to the open mouths and wide eyes staring at her.

"Lavender..truth..or dare?"

"Hermione..I officially am going to kill you after I'm done with this. Truth..right now I really could not stand a dare," Lavender glared at Hermione, and answered Pavarti silently.

"I feel so flattered," Hermione smiled sarcastically.

Pavarti pretended not to know what to ask her, and ran a hand through her hair. "Hmm..this is tough. No wait, I know..Lavender, who do you think is the hottest guy in the school, as in..who do you like?"

"How did I know this was coming?"Lavender cupped her face in her hands.

"We're waiting for an answer Lav," Dean looked at his watch.

"Ugh you know what? I'm not afraid to say it..really I'm not. I mean it's just a guy right? Why should I be afraid?"

"Then say it," Harry said.

"I like Ron" Lavender answered shyly, staring at the floor.

The whole room gasped, and Ron stared blankly at her, as if he had just been struck with Cupid's arrow.

"Did you hear that Ron? You've got an admirer!" Harry slapped him on the back.

"Woohoo!" he punched his fist in the air, and jumped up and down.

Hermione leaned over and whispered something in Harry's ear.

"Great! When do we start?" Harry smiled eagerly, waiting impatiently for their plan to get started.

"I hope you realize you are going to get pounded for this Hermione!" Lavender stood up and made her way over to her.

"Right about now" Hermione replied to Harry.

"And why is that? We just set up a couple, didn't we Pavarti?"

"That's right, Lav..you should be joining Ron with his jumping fit-" Pavarti laughed histerically at Ron who was still bouncing around the room joyfully.

"Ron, will you come here for a sec?" Harry winked at Hermione, and watched Ron as he sat down beside him.

"What?"

Harry leaned in a little closer to Ron, and gasped. "You what? You want to ask Lavender out?!"

"Ooh Lavender, Ron just asked you out..whadda you say?" Hermione smirked at her, giving a thumbs up to Harry.

"I didn't say-" Ron got cut off from a hard kick in the shins.

"I'll say yes," Lavender smiled at him.

"Aww..now would you look at that?" Seamus teased Ron, and stuck his tongue out at Lavender.

Ron couldn't believe what he was hearing. For a year now he had liked Lavender and it took about two minutes for all of this to happen. Ron glanced at Harry and Hermione who were smiling proudly at the two of them. He really did have great friends, they would do anything to make their friends happy. "Hey Harry, Hermione..," he called to them both.

"What?"

"Thanks for all your help!"

"But we didn't do anything..did we Harry?" Hermione nudged his arm, winking at him.

"Mhm..we're not that daft. You set it up, but it was a good thing that it happened, right Ron?" Lavender took a seat beside him, and placed her hand in his.

"Right" he nodded at her.

Seamus now stood up and cleared his throat. "Let's get on with the game! Lav, since you were dared last, you ask someone."

"Alright. Pavarti, truth or dare?" Lavender asked.

"Dare, obviously" she smirked at her.

"Ok..umm..I dare you to lick one of Seamus' toes!" Lavender laughed, and the students went hysterical.

"That's disgusting!" Pavarti yelled across the room at Lavender.

"A dare is a dare Pav," Hermione grinned at her foolishly.

Seamus took off his left shoe and sock and lay his foot firmly on the groud in front of Pavarti. "Go ahead."

"This is sickening," Pavarti thought to herself and slowly tilted her head down towards his foot and licked one of his toes as quickly as possible.

"Ewwwwww!" Dean and Ron snickered at Pavarti, who tried to look as calm as possible.

"Shut up both of you before I dare each of you to lick someone's foot!" Pavarti snapped at them, giving Lavender dirty looks.

Harry rubbed his eyes, checking his watch. It was twelve-thirty, and he, Ron, and Hermione had Potions class early in the morning. "Hey guys..I think I'm gonna go to bed."

"Are you kidding? This game only just got started!" Seamus hollered, tying his shoelace.

"Well I have Potions in the morning..you know how crabby Snape can get," he stood up and started towards the stairs leading towards the boy's and girl's dormitories.

"Yeah..I'm going to bed now too. Goodnight everyone!" Hermione yawned, and followed Harry.

"You two better not be found in the same bed tomorrow morning" Lavender giggled, smiling sarcastically.

"Same goes for you and Ron!" Harry cut in, and made his way into the boy's dormitories after giving Hermione a good night kiss.

After Harry and Hermione were out of sight, Pavarti rubbed her hands together. "Alright..let the game go on!"

"Yeah! Can I dare someone?" Dean questioned.

"Ok, but it better be good!" Ron winked at him foolishly.

"Umm..Seamus, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Tough one..is it true..that you secretly wanted to go out with Hermione, when you knew she liked Harry?" Dean looked at him cautiously, grinning evily.

"Ooohhhh, is that true Seamus? Cuz you know Harry will get pretty mad," Ron joked, checking to see if Harry was hiding anywhere.

"Umm..well the truth is.....


[Yeah I know, pretty cheezy cliffhanger, but I couldn't finish this chapter! I would have just kept going. I'll bring out the next chapter soon :)]
