Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but you already knew that.
AN: Howdy! Tis me again! I felt like writing something weird and kinda fluffy…and voila!! This came to mind! My friends and I have Truth or Dare fever, and it's led to some funny situations! This is just a teaser, but if you want more, give a shout! Well, enjoy!
P.S. Please forgive me…I did this in 10 minutes, tops. Probably not even that.

Harry's face came down on the table with a dull thunk, and he gave a yelp, sat bolt upright and rubbed his nose mournfully. He had been leaning on his elbow, trying to keep his eyes open while he waiting for Ron to make his move, but he had slipped. Obviously.
"What was that, Harry?" Ron raised an eyebrow at him.
"Nothing, just slipped. I'm fine." Harry pushed his glasses back into place, and looked at the chessboard. "Have you made your move yet."
"Almost," Ron gazed thoughtfully at the board, and then his eyes lit up. "Checkmate."
Harry frowned as his piece was dragged off the board. "Damn, you win again. Let's do something else!"
Ron smiled as he packed up his wizard chess pieces. "I don't see you thinking of anything better to do."
That was very true. Even though in this year, Harry and Ron's fifth, many people had stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas break, Ron and Harry were running out of things to do.
Ron led Harry up to the Common Room, and murmured the password "Jingle Bells." The Fat Lady Portrait, flushed with spirits, giggled and swung forward.
The boys could see Ginny, Hermione, and Lavender gathered around the fire, the light dancing off their faces.
"Uh-oh," Ron whispered. "Girl talk. Let's get out of here, while we still can!"
Suddenly, Hermione stood up and whirled around. "Boys," she said, and Harry noticed her voice sounded unusually flighty. "We've come up with a solution to our Cabin Fever."
"Oh, really…" Harry said suspiciously, and Ginny giggled furiously.
"Oh, yes," Lavender added. "Have you ever played truth or dare?"
"Truth or Dare?" Ron said. "Never. Sounds fun, though!"
"No, Ron! Don't do it!" Harry practically shouted. "Truth or Dare can only lead to tears!"
"Too late!" Ginny chirped. "He agreed, so now you have to, too!"
"Damn, foiled again." Harry said grumpily, as he joined Ron and the girls by the fire. "I need to work on my strategies!"
"OK," Lavender started. "Let's get-"
"Wait!" Ginny cried! "We only have five people! That won't do at all!!"
"True," Hermione said, then gazed at the doorway. "Lavender, Ginny, come with me!" Ginny and Lavender snapped like soldiers at attention, and marched out of the common room door, following Hermione closely.
Ron and Harry stared at the fire, and Ron tried to make small talk, but Harry was already dreading what was to come. Boys and girls…Truth or Dare…this could only lead to one thing…
"Back!" Hermione announced, panting as though she had been running. Lavender and Ginny were a bit slower, as they were dragging three fighting figures through the doorway. They were…
"Draco, Seamus, and Pansy!!" Harry shouted, leaping to his feet. "There is no way that I-"
"Oh, quite bitching Harry!" Ginny said as she, inch by inch, dragged Draco through the doorway. He had no choice, as behind him, Pansy Parkinson was pushing him through.
Ron didn't even have time to reprimand Ginny on her language, when he saw Seamus being led mutely into the common room by Lavender. He wasn't fighting back. He caught Ron's stare, and blushed furiously. "The last time I played this game," he stuttered. "I had a blast!"
Draco's hold on the doorframe finally gave, and he was flung into the common room, he stared white faced and Ron and Harry, and with a sigh and a shrug, gave in quietly.
"Hermione," Lavender said. "We can't play it in here. Anyone could walk in and catch us!"
"Right!" Hermione, thought for a moment. "To the girl's dormitory!"
"NO WAY!" Four voices said in unison.
"Babies," Pansy snorted, and assisted the girls in dragging the boys up the flight of stairs.
*************
Hehehe….*sings* The girls want some action.
So, time for the count. We have, in the red corner, 4 furiously giggling girls who seem to be out muscle the boys by a landslide, Ginny, Hermione, Launder, and Pansy!
In the blue corner, the "stronger sex", in theory, with lots of brains but not a lot of brawn, Draco, Ron, Harry, and Seamus!
DING DING DING! Round 1!!!
