Chapter 3: Dare

The next day, Dumbledore was sitting with some of his friends in the Great Hall eating breakfast when Jonathan Wood came to the Hall in quick steps.

"Ah! All of you are here, good!"

"What is it, Wood?" Dumbledore asked.

"Can all of you spare some time for a game now?" Wood asked.

"What game, Qudditch?" Don asked with his mouth full of pumpkin tarts.

"No," Wood said as he sat down beside William. "it is a muggle game called Truth or Dare. You picked a person and asked him "Truth or Dare". If he said Truth, you can ask him any questions about himself and he must tell the truth. If he said Dare, you can dare him to do something embarrassing. After he's done, he will pick the person beside him. So are you guys able to play this?"

All the Gryffindor boys looked at Dumbledore, who was looking at his watch, which has 12 needles, no numbers and some tiny stars moving around the edges. He looked up.

"Sure, why not? We still have some time before our first lessons." He smiled.

"All right, I am the starter of this game. Don, you go first. Truth or Dare?" Wood asked and all the boys turned to Don.

Don swallowed his pumpkin tarts. ". Truth."

"All right, describe one funny incident that you once encountered."

Don frowned.

"Is it a secret? Don't worry, we won't tell anyone." Wood whispered.

"All right." Don said as all the boys leaned forward to listen.

"All right, this is about Aidoneus Malfoy." He said. "I was on the way to the Qudditch stadium to see a Qudditch match when I saw Malfoy alone in the Great Hall.."

"What? What is he doing?!" Nicholas asked eagerly.

"Writing a love poem, to Professor Adara, in fact!"

The boys stared with their mouths dropped open. "Professor Adara?! The pretty Charms teacher who used to be in Slytherin when she is younger?!"

Don nodded excitedly. "I even saw what he had written, he didn't even notice me when I was practically breathing down his neck! He wrote: Her eyes are as blue as the night sky, her hair is as gold as the sun, and her beauty can be competing with the Goddess Aphrodite. Who is she? Andromeda Adara. I run off before he noticed me."

The boys burst out laughing. "Great! We can blackmail him for that!" Joe said excitedly. After what had Malfoy done to Potter yesterday, he doesn't like Malfoy much now. Wood nodded and laughed as the same time.

"All right, Albus, Truth or Dare?" Don asked.

"I choose..Dare. It's good to try something new."

"All right, I dare you to.." Don looked around and saw Minerva waving goodbye to Madeline Hooch, Daisy Brown and Georgia Sprouts. They left Minerva sitting alone at the end of the Gryffindor table. ".Ah! Go and eat breakfast with Minerva McGonagall."

Dumbledore frowned. "But Gryffindor boys never interact with the girls, we are too young for boy-girl relationships! And."

"Whoa! Slow down! What are you talking about? I did not dare you to kiss her, just eat breakfast with her and talk to her. You know, be friends."

Dumbledore stared at all the eager faces. "All right, just once." He said, standing up.

"WOOHOO!!!" The boys called out. Dumbledore stared at them and they shut up.

Dumbledore walked slowly to Minerva and looked uncertainly at the seat across Minerva's seat. She was reading her Transfiguration book.

"Hi." Minerva looked up and smiled shyly.

"May.may I sit here? The boys' end of the table is full."

She looked confused. "I thought the Gryffindor boys never interact with the girls. The Gryffindor girls said so last night.

Before Dumbledore could think of a good answer, she said: "Sit down."

Dumbledore smiled nervously and sat down. "Thanks. I suppose I have not introduced myself yet. I am Albus Dumbledore."

Minerva smiled. "I know. You are quite famous among the girls."

"I am?"

"Yes. I am Minerva McGonagall."

"Pleased to meet you. You like Transfigurations?"

"Yes."

"Transfigurations is pretty interesting, But I like Muggle Studies too."

"Really? What's it like?"

"Albus should be coming back by now." Wood said as he looked at his watch.

"Why should he?" Nicholas asked.

"HELLO! There are other people here who want to play this game. We can't continue if he doesn't come back." Wood said impatiently as he glared at his watch. "What the hell are Albus and McGonagall talking about?! They have been talking for ½ hour!"

"Yeah, if he keep on talking, we are going to be late for the Care For Magical Creatures," William said. "All right, that's it. We are going to drag him to our class. Come on, guys." He stood up with the rest of the 6th year boys and marched to the other end of the table.

"Do you like Qudditch?" Dumbledore asked.

"Oh yes, I am a died-hard Qudditch fan." Minerva admitted.

"It is a very interesting game, isn't it?

"Albus, it's time for our class." William interrupted.

"Just a minute while I discuss Qudditch to Minerva." Dumbledore said quickly.

"ALBUS!" The boys yelled.

"Why don't we talk later during lunch time? Both of us will be late if we continue like this." Minerva smiled.

"All right, see you later, Minerva!" Dumbledore said as he stood up and was practically dragged out of the Great Hall by the boys.

"I shouldn't let you to take that stupid dare." Don mumbled.
