Dares
Just a short Humour piece. Set in The Marauders'
time. The Gryffindor fifth years play Wizard Dares...
"Pick one then James!"
James cautiously took a slip of paper from the pointed hat upended on the table next to an empty butterbeer bottle pointing at him. Sirius was watching eagerly. Remus had a suspicion that he was up to something. James broke into a wide grin and read off the paper:
"Kiss!"
Sirius took his wand in hand and pointed to the bottle. "Spin!"
After a violent spin the bottle pointed right at Lily. She was both shocked and disgusted, Remus could tell from her expression.
"C'mon then Evans!" James said confidently, eager to get on with it.
"No way! Forfeit!" Lily said. Sirius and james exchanged a very brief disappointed look before Sirius began smiling again.
"Sorry Lil, but it's James's dare. He's the only one who can forfeit!"
James grinned widely. Maddie and Alice looked shocked; they knew Lily hated James, badly. Cara, on the other hand, was brave enough to speak up.
"Not true, I'm afraid, Sirius," she stated plainly, leaning forward to block James from getting and nearer to Lily, "technically anyone can forfeit if they're not happy with the dare..."
"All right then," Sirius said, sighing loudly, "Give me a forfeit for Lily then smart arse!"
Cara dipped her hand into the hat and took out a slip. She handed it to Sirius. He read it aloud, frowning slightly.
"Truth..."
"Excellent," Cara said, "Do you fancy Amos?"
Lily gasped and hit Cara lightly on the shoulder. "Tell the truth or I'll let James kiss you!" She threatened.
"Well... Yes... I do... A bit..." Lily mumbled.
Maddie and Alice shrieked. Cara mouthed something that looked like "I knew it!" and James fumed. Remus was pretty sure that smoke would have billowed out of his ears if Sirius hadn't moved the game on swiftly.
"Cara! You next m'dear!"
Cara once again thrust her hand into the hat and read out her piece of paper:
"Nervous." She said plainly.
Sirius let out a huge whoop of joy. He rubbed his hands together all the time the bottle was spinning. It landed on him and he jumped to his feet, grinning madly. Cara didn't look worried in the slightest. Sirius moved over to her side and began to play Nervous.
Remus had never played Nervous, but he knew how it worked. One person puts their hand on your leg and moves it upwards until you shout "Nervous!", then they have to stop. Remus was curious as to what Cara would let Sirius get away with. He suspected she liked him, most of the girls did...
Sirius hadn't even reached her knee when Cara shouted "Nervous!" Sirius swore loudly and Cara smiled like a cheshire cat. She didn't look nervous at all... Remus and James laughed and Peter tried to hold back a snicker but had to release it.
"Sorry Sirius, but I know you too well..." Cara smiled her sweet smile and Sirius melted completely. It made Remus wonder if Cara ever played Nervous with the Slytherins...
"Lily! You next!"
Lily picked up a slip of paper, sighed with relief and read it out:
"Shout." She said, giving James a clear I-don't-have-to-kiss-you-you-stupid-git look.
"All right then, swear out loud!" Sirius said, obviously annoyed that both he and James had missed their chances that night.
After Lily had shouted the loudest profanity ever heard in Gryffindor Tower, Maddie had kissed Sirius on the cheek, Alice had admitted she fancied the seventh year Frank Longbottom and Peter had called himself a "Fuzzy Pink Wabbit" in front of the first year girls, it was finally Remus's turn.
"Oh shit..." He began, "Snog..."
James clapped, Peter's face reddened and Cara smiled vividly in the darkening winter Common Room. Sirius was about to spin the bottle when Cara grabbed his arm.
"I'll do that; I don't trust you..." She told him with a knowing smile. She set the bottle spinning with a graceful flick of her wand.
After what seemed like an excruciatingly long wait, the bottle landed on Cara. She looked shocked, but for some reason Remus sensed it was an act. And his wolf like senses had never let him down yet...
"Well we're not snogging in front of you lot!" She said. "C'mon Remus." Remus got to his feet a little too eagerly for his own liking.
"Not without a witness!" Lily said, clearly volunteering to do so.
Sirius looked on, jealous as hell, as the three headed for the boys' dormitories and closed the door behind.
Remus sat on his bed with Cara next to him and noticed Lily, looking very expectant, on the bed opposite.
"You do realise you're on James's bed?" Remus asked.
As Lily jumped up in disgust, Remus seized the chance and pulled Cara towards him. The snog lasted for at least ten seconds and was more delightful than Remus could have imagined. Of course Lily had still seen them, but the distraction had been long enough for Remus to pluck up the courage to meet her lips.
When they finally broke off, Cara licked her lips. "You taste like Pepper Imps..." She told him sweetly. He merely nodded and got up and left the boys' dormitories without a glance back at Lily, who was giggling. Cara followed him out, doing the same thing.
To Be Continued....
I hope you like the story! It's gonna get better as in the next chapter Cara gives her verdict on Remus in truth, and Sirius plays Nervous with Lily! :)
