Truth Or Dare

Chapter Four

On Ron's Lap

"What?" Hermione squeaked.

"Who do you like?" Seamus repeated.

"I-er-no one," Hermione squealed.

Unconvinced, Parvati snorted. "Yeah right! I know who it is!"

"GINNY!!!"

"She didn't tell me!" Parvati said. "I knew already. It's WAY too obvious."

"It-it is?" Hermione squeaked.

"Yeah!" chorused around the room, missing some confused ones, (Neville, Ron,) and some 'busy' ones, (George, Katie,) and Dean, who was staring open- mouthed at Parvati. A drop of drool slid down his chin as she continued arguing.

"Seriously, Hermione! You totally have liked him forever!"

"It's obvious?"

"Yeah!" chorused the room again.

"Well, that's nonsense because if anything was obvious, it's that you people are insane for thinking ANYTHING like what you're thinking now."

Lavender snorted. "And YOU'RE insane for thinking that we'll believe that you don't have a crush on---er. Tell him yourself. He's the only one clueless." She paused. "Except, Neville, of course."

Hermione gave up. "F-fine." She took a deep breath. "Ron, I- I fancy you. I have since our first year, but it was more obvious last year." She was staring at the floor, squished between Abby and Ginny, unable to make eye- contact with Ron.

Ron stood up and slowly walked over to Hermione. She stood up, too, and he wrapped his arms around her in a hug.

When they were finished hugging, Ron kissed her on the cheek, causing both of them to blush as scarlet as the couches and armchairs everyone was sitting on. He picked her up and carried her over to his chair, and then plopped down, with Hermione on his lap.

"Ron, truth or dare?" Hermione asked.

"Truth."

"Do you love me as much as I love you?"

"Well, that would depend on how much you love me."

"How much do YOU love me?"

"I love you so much, that if I put my love into the stars, there wouldn't be NEARLY enough."

A tear trickled down Hermione's cheek.

"Awwwwww."

"Well---" sniff "-that would be as much!" Sniff.

"'Mione?" Ron asked. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"How long have you loved me?"

"Ever since I saw you on the train on our way to Hogwarts for the first time. It was very hard to keep a straight face when you tried to turn Scabbers yellow with that silly little spell of yours."

She giggled.

"I love it when you laugh." "Awwwww." Ron kissed her on the cheek again, and Hermione blushed, if possible, an even darker shade of red. "Dean? Truth or dare?" she asked. "Truth." "What do you think of Parvati?" "I think she's hott," Dean answered quickly. "She's the sexiest girl alive! She's amazing, dreamy, and very funny. She's not stupid, but she's not a book worm...." He rambled on for ten minutes, unaware that Parvati was listening to his very words. When he did realize this, he stuttered, "I---I- --er---" Everyone (except George and Katie) looked over at him and laughed. He was so thick. "I--er---" "What? You what? You didn't know that half of Gryffindor House is listening to you right now?" Harry teased. "I---er I must of dozed off.... I sleep talk, ya know." "Yeah, you're always talking about Parvati," Ron said. He put on a fake, dreamy voice and mumbled, "So hott....s-s-sexy thang, you...." The common room burst into laughter, even George and Katie, who finally stopped snogging to listen. Dean blushed furiously, and Katie threw 'The Trusty Pillow' at him, which he buried his face in. It seemed like EVERYONE had a good time and made a boy/girl friend. It was a perfect ending.... too perfect..... A/N Hope you enjoyed it! Next chapter will be something a bit more interesting....
