~The Dare, the Hand Shake and the Challenge~
Summary: Before the start of the Seventh year term, Hermione and Ginny trick Draco into playing a muggle game of Dare throughout the school year. Voldemort is gone.
Dinning Room
Swallowing hard, Sirius has to admire the girl's creative costume, damn if she wasn't a Slytherin. Sirius watches as she gracefully stalks her way towards him, her small smirk widening with every step. Great she thinks she has the upper hand here.
"Just play it cool Sirius," states Remus as he places a hand on Sirius's shoulder. "Look at her costume! She must have spent at lest a month on it." Staring at the approaching woman, Remus watches her, "besides she could very well be anyone."
"Greetings husband," purrs Eris as she traces a finger up Sirius's arm. "Planning a," smirking as her tail strokes Ron's chin, "prank." As Ron pulls her tail away from his face Eris hisses at him. Ron's face turns white, as Harry coughs loudly.
"Apollo," greets Eris slightly purring at him. "How are you?" Eris's tail is now stroking Sirius's leg. Growling Sirius starts to maneuver away. "Oh Ares, look," pointing to the girl walking towards them. "It's Aphrodite," humming to herself, "I wonder if she is still mad at me for getting Cupid together with Psyche."
Getting into his character, Sirius answers, "I don't know honey," earning him a scowl. "She could be glad to see you, I hear the two of you are rather alike. Both of you create chaos where-ever you go."
"As if," hisses Hermione glaring hard at Sirius. What the hell is wrong with you guys?' Glaring at all of them, Hermione crosses her arms. Shifting her weight for one leg to the other. Can't you tell it's me?
Pansy smiles condescending at Hermione as she practically drools on Sirius. "Well Eris, is it? Having fun," running her hand promiscuously across her chest trying to get Sirius's attention.
"Hi guys," greets a beautiful Muse. Tonight's costumes are sure interesting. Don't you think?"
"Yeah," agrees Ron looking at the Muse strangely. "What are you?"
"Well, Pan," purrs Hermione gesturing to the woman in question. "She is a Muse, one of nine. I'd say from her costume she is the Muse of Music," watching the Muse shake her head in the positive. "Aren't that right B." The two girls high five each other, "Say did 'Flip' clean the common room yet?"
"Well Eris," Laughs B the Muse. "No, in fact it was worst when I left." As the two girls discuss possible ways to incite 'Flip" a Ravenclaw sixth year to clean up his mess in the common room, Sirius winks at Remus. They mouth silently to each other that it was possible that Eris was a Ravenclaw.
As the conversion flows they learn that the muse was Katherine a Ravenclaw perfect. Ron and Katherine get into a discussion on Quidditch, which Harry adds comments about.
Feeling left out, Pansy asks, "What type of Goddess is Eris anyways?"
Smirking at her "I am the daughter of Hades," she purrs as she walks around Sirius running a finger over his broad shoulders. A slight shudder runs through Sirius. Stepping to Sirius's side. "Goddess of discord or better known as the Goddess of Chaos," leaning into Sirius "wife of Ares."
Smirking evilly at Pansy, "responsible for getting Cupid and Psyche." Purring as Hermione shoves Sirius away from her, "but principally known for being the Trojan War when Ares decided to piss me off!" Sirius trips over Hermione's tail and lands rather loudly on the floor.
Shocked Sirius just sat there as loud snickers echoed in the dinning hall as Eris turned and walked towards the Slytherin table. Damn that tail! Damn the woman wearing it!
Watching the exchange from the table Psyche leans over to Cupid. "Do be a dear and get me some punch," Psyche suggests as Hermione swiftly makes her way towards them.
"Because believe me," pointing to Eris as she approaches. "You don't want to be here when she is." Draco nods as he gets up, "oh, and tell Ares he better apologies and fast because Eris is known for being irrational when pissed."
"Yes dear," doles out Draco as leaves.
Sitting down in a huff, Hermione tries to control her urge to yell, "they didn't even know it was me," she hisses. "What now?"
Rising her eyebrows, Ginny contemplates what to do. "I don't know." Looking over the room, "lets see Draco is getting me something to drink," Smiling sweetly Ginny continues, "he's being real sweat tonight. Ah, the boys are still milling about where you left them. At the head Table, Snape has this big eat-shitting grin on his face and Dumbledore is looking," confused she narrows her eyes. "I don't know very pleased."
"Pleased," questions Hermione looking over her shoulder. "You're right he does look very pleased." Shrugging her shoulders, Hermione urns back to Ginny. "I don't know why."
Looking at the Head Table, Ginny comments, "damn I wish I had a camera." Laughing, Ginny whispers, "I want a photo of Snape smiling later for blackmail."
Laughing the two girls discuss the possible uses of a photo of a smiling Snape. Draco smirks at Sirius as he walks by him, wonder who is Eris? Better yet who is Psyche?
Handing her the punch she ordered. "Eris, having fun?"
Groaning, "not really." The woman pouts as she sulks, "Ares is being a prat."
Draco smirks at her, "well," pausing to think about it, "why don't you be you."
"What," asks Psyche.
Sighing heavily, "Your," pointing to Hermione. "Eris, Goddess of Chaos, last time Ares pissed you off you started the Trojan War," pausing waving his hand around, "go create chaos." Shooing her away, "and leave me and my wife to our lovely dinner."
Evil laughter erupts from Hermione; even Draco shivers. "Perfect idea," purrs Eris as she gets up from the table. Smiling devilishly she walks up to the head table. "Zeus," she purrs, "this party is boring." Rubbing her hands together. "Lets liven it up a little." Glancing back at the boys watch this.
Sirius watches the girl talk to Dumbledore, glancing back towards him. What is she up to? Stepping back the girl in question snaps her fingers. Sudden lightening flashes across the enchanted ceiling followed closely by thunder. Looking up, it starts to rain, not really rain but little bits of red and black paper. "What the hell?"
Glaring at the girl playing Eris who is standing in front of the Head Table smirking her face off, Sirius stalks up to her, "stop this." Eyes popping out when her tail cresses his bottom,"now!"
"No," purrs Eris as she walks away from him her tail slapping him hard on his bottom.
"Poor Ares didn't learn his lesson the first time." Feeling a sharp tug on her tail Hermione looks back just in time, as Sirius pulls her tumbling towards him.
Two vice like arms grip her as a jolt courses through her. "Change it back," demands Sirius as Hermione tries to get him to loosen his grip. "Now," growls Sirius. Sniffing, she smells like rose's.
Purring Hermione lifts her face up to his, "maybe, what do I get out of it?"
Growling Sirius demands, "What do you want?" Sirius hears the girl purr as she somehow moves closer to him. Suddenly her face was closer then it was before, her tail was caressing his back.
Lowering his head Sirius softly kisses the girl, a low moan reaches his ears was he pulls away from her. Seeing her wink at him, the girl in question snaps her fingers twice the 'rain' stops.
"Attention Guests," addresses Dumbledore from the Head Table. "We have only a few more minutes before the unveiling. At that point we will know who is playing who."
"Later," whispers Eris as she slips out of his grip. Sirius tries to catch up to the vixen but she continues to elude him. Watching her weave her way throw the thong of people in the dinning hall, he notices that she chooses to leave throw one of the side exists Sirius rushes to follow her. Once in the hallway Sirius looks around for her.
Bloody Hell, where can she be?
