Chapter 27*~~
The Games*~~
"Here are the rules. You spin the bottle and whoever it lands on is who you ask truth or dare. If they refuse to do the dare they have to spin the bottle and find out who it is they'll end up kissing. If you don't answer a question truthfully the bottle will glow orange and you have to spin and kiss," Hermione said.
"You know this game too well," Ron said, eyeing her up. She gave a secretive smile.
"I AM muggle born. Okay, form two circles!" Everyone at the party split in two. Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws went in one while Gryffindor, Slytherins, teachers, and graduates went in another. The teachers that had accumulated at the party were Snape, Sinistra, McGonagall, Dumbledore, and Flitwick. "Snape, you first."
"Fine," he said. He spun the Butterbeer bottle. After a few moments it stopped, pointing to Harry. Snape grinned evilly. Harry groaned.
"Truth."
"Scared? Well then, Potter, how many girls have you kissed?"
"One," Harry said instantly.
"And you're what? Fifteen?"
"Yes and I happen to care about Ginny. How many girl have YOU kissed?"
"You never spun me." Harry rolled his eyes at Snape's comment and spun the bottle. It halted, facing Sirius.
"Payback," Harry announced. "Is sweet."
"Dare!"
"Ooooooooooooooh, bold," Harry said sarcastically. Ginny and Hermione giggled. "I dare you to-" Harry leaned over and whispered in his ear. Sirius jumped, appalled.
"That's DISGUSTING!"
"Then spin the bottle," Harry gestured.
"Oh fine," grumbled Sirius. "Come along Snivellus. I've been ordered to clean your hair." He shivered and dragged a screamed Severus Snape off. They continued the game looking positively delighted. An hour later they returned, carrying brightly colored plastic margarita glasses and a great deal of assorted drinks and other liquids. Behind them a large black pot floated.
"What on earth are you doing?" asked McGonagall peevishly, wiping her mouth continuously from the kiss Draco Malfoy had just spun on her.
"We've decided that we're bored of this game (and I am too!) so we'll just be playing I've Never now!" Sirius said cheerfully. He sat down and started by pouring all the hard liquor and champagne into the pot. After that he added a dash of lemon juice and chocolate sauce. In a finish he dumped in eight large bottles of Butterbeer.
"That is gross," Hermione said, appalled, hand over her mouth.
"Suck it up," Sirius said lightly. He added some to each glass and passed them out according to house. "Now, someone starts- Remus- and says I've never blah blah blah. Anyone who has drinks half of the stuff in their glass. Now, begin Re!"
"I've never danced on top of a table in the Great Hall wearing a miniskirt and tube top," he said smirking. Snape, McGonagall, and Sirius glared at him as they took a long drink. Joining them was Flitwick, Dumbledore, and Oliver Wood.
"Obviously Remus has something to do with the glare crew but what's with the three of you?" Ron asked.
"I had a good deal of enemies when I was at school," Flitwick said with a shrug. "It's actually Poppy's fault!"
"I've had a great many years at Hogwarts. There are always a few... interesting, people," Dumbledore said calmly, eyes dancing merrily.
"It was Fred and George's first prank," Oliver said icily. The circle began laughing. "Nice to see how funny you find this."
"Flitiwck, you next," choked Sirius.
"I've never... made or used a potion that was highly dangerous and against school rules without the potions master," he said smugly. Hermione, Harry, and Ron drank instantly. Remus, Sirius, Ara, May, Snape, and McGonagall joined in.
"I knew it!" Snape shouted at the trio, the hard liquor effecting him slightly.
"Get a grip," snapped Harry. He quite liked the mixture, if truth be told.
"McGonagall you go, seeing as you've had to drink BOTH times!" Ginny pointed out.
"I was a trouble child," she defended. "I've never felt somebody up while we were snogging on a bed that didn't belong to either of us." Everyone except Flitwick took a long drink.
"Neville?"
"Yeah, you might want to know that the problem Luna and I had was we were a little busy during the scavenger hunt.."
"Gross!" Ginny exclaimed.
"And you and Harry?!" he shot back.
"Hey, is it my fault Hermione's bed was in the room too?"
"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" yelled Hermione.
"So it's MY fault!"
"I like the bed you have in Ron's room. Nice and comfy," she said, the alcohol taking it's toll.
"Me too!" he replied enthusiastically.
"Now, as Ginny is the innocent one and she had to drink, she's next," Sirius said. Hardly effected by the alcohol he was quite enjoying himself.
"I've never brewed Polyjuice Potion in an out of order girls' lavatory and then snuck into the Slytherin Common Room or turned into a cat," she said innocently, looking directly at the Golden Trio. They drank instantly.
"I KNEW IT!" screamed Snape. "Dammit! There's nothing I can do now! You DID take that stuff! SCREW YOU!"
"Wow, he can't hold liquor well," Hermione said. After her episode she had been quite calm and had just sipped the restof her glass away, it magically refilled itself.
"When were you in the Common Room?" asked Draco.
"Oh, we knocked out Crabbe and Goyle, took the Poly juice Potion we'd brewed in Moaning Myrtle's toilets and then went in with you. You know, Christmas in our second year," Harry said easily.
"Oh, you suck!" Draco screeched. "Sorry, I DO have trouble holding liquor."
"Obviously," muttered Ginny. He glared at her.
"Hermione."
"I've never had sex," she pronounced. All of the adults gulped half of their drink. A little sheepishly Oliver, Fred, George, Lee, Katie, Alicia, and Angela also drunk.
"We are adults," pronounced Alicia. "More please! Oh, and Lee, you go."
"I've never worn female panties." All of the women drank. They were accompanied by Sirius, Remus, Snape, Fred, and Ron. There were a few raised eyebrows exchanged.
"Marauders," Snape said easily.
"Remus."
"Sirius."
"George," Fred said calmly as he gulped down his whole glass.
"Hermione dared me," Ron said defensively.
"At least you didn't' look like you have clown pants on! You made me wear your boxers!" she protested.
"Not my fault you have no butt," Ron retorted. "You go Snape."
"I've never danced with a really famous person," he declared. Hermione, Dumbledore, Ginny, Parvati, McGonagall, Sirius, Remus, Ara, May, Draco, and Oliver all drank.
"Krum and Harry," Hermione said.
"You don't want to know," Dumbledore said sternly.
"Harry," said Ginny and Parvati said together. They high fived.
"Dumbledore and you really do NOT want to know," McGonagall said.
"Harry!" cried Sirius, Remus, Ara, and May. "When he was a baby," explained May quickly, drinking deeply.
"Stupid people at stupid parties with stupid Daddy!" Draco exclaimed, continuously drinking. He was beginning to get quite drunk. "And this pudgy old lady tried to get me to show her my room! She was Pudgy Woman!"
"Draco doesn't handle liquor well," Lis informed the circle. She was drinking form her own glass for no apparent reason. "I suggest Fred goes next."
"I've never kissed any one of the same sex that was younger than me," Fred said proudly.
"Screw you!" George snapped, drinking. "I don't care if it was only two minutes. You suck, dammit!" Sirius, Remus, May, Oliver, Lis, Hermione, and Ginny drank.
"Remus is younger than I am," Sirius said defiantly.
"And SOMEBODY," Remus looked directly at Sirius. "Dared me to kiss Peter who is younger than ME!"
"Ara and Lily were both younger than I was. You were all lucky Remus never got the urge to watch two people of the same sex make out. It used be quite scary to play Truth Or Dare with them!"
"Never, and I mean NEVER have a party in the Room Of Requirement and play Truth Or Dare when Arnold Peckler is on the premises," Oliver warned.
"Pansy is younger than I am and Draco is, erm, interesting," said Lis.
"I do have a life in the summer," Hermione announced boldly, her voice oozing with alcohol. "And Ginny and I are friends with friend who like to play games!" She grabbed one of the bottles of rum and began drinking from it. The sky was darkening.
"I ditto Mione!" Ginny said proudly. And as if to emphasis her point, she too grabbed a bottle of rum and started drinking. All around the circle empty bottles were filled with their concoction and/or rum and other liquor. (I do not like drunks, in case any of you wish to know, but there's actually a funny point behind this!!)
Soon the air was dark and the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws had joined them. Dumbledore magically created a blazing fire on a stretch of magical 24 hour sand with all sorts of rock music playing from nowhere. They all danced around the fire, drinking and laughing. Dumbledore and McGonagall linked arms and started twirling in circles, both severely drunk.
Harry and Ginny imitated them and finally broke down laughing in the sand. Harry leaned over her, his breath intoxicating. "I love you," he breathed. He started kissing her. Hungrily Ginny returned the kiss. Suddenly a bunch of fireworks went off and the two pulled apart.
"Look, pretty lights!" Ginny squealed. They hopped up and continued dancing.
By the next morning when everyone woke up across the sand, they all had terrible hang-overs. "God, why do little men insist upon drumming in my head," Hermione moaned.
"One would think you'd never been drunk before," Fred said, shaking his head. He and George led most of the people up to the pool. They all stuck their heads in the icy water.
"Who knew our dear professors could party like that?" asked Harry. He, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny had traveled into the living room and draped themselves across the furniture.
"No tme," Ron said. "Hey Gin doesn't Mom have that hang over crap in the bathroom connected to her room?"
"Yeah, we could multiply it," Ginny said brightly. She hopped up and then moaned, sinking down. "Okay, this time I'm REALLY going." She stood slowly and headed up two flights of stairs to her parents room. She walked into the bathroom and grabbed the little bottle. She cast the spell and handed it to the other three.
"I'll take some outside," Ron offered. He drank his own and then, feeling refreshed, duplicated some more and headed outside with Harry.
Later as the teachers were gone and everyone else lay out by the pool Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fleur, Penny, and some chick named Brasha came walking towards them. "Did you like our master plan of getting you all hang overs?" asked Charlie.
"Never party without us!" Bill advised. They all grinned at each other. But tons of glaring people started chasing them around.
"Nice plan," Brasha screamed to Charlie. He shrugged. Brasha sent him an airborne kiss before she turned around and surrendered to the spray of about a hundred jets of water.
"Here are the rules. You spin the bottle and whoever it lands on is who you ask truth or dare. If they refuse to do the dare they have to spin the bottle and find out who it is they'll end up kissing. If you don't answer a question truthfully the bottle will glow orange and you have to spin and kiss," Hermione said.
