~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.
Hallway Outside Dinning Hall
Standing in the shadows Hermione slips on a black cloak. Feeling the glamour charm fading away, Hermione sighs. Pulling out her wand, she mutters an incantation to camouflage her Eris attire into comfortable tank top and blue jeans.
Watching Sirius checking around the hallway for Eris. Sirius glances back every now and again to double-check that he didn't miss her, Hermione smugly smiles. Oh, someone's interested!
Licking her lips as the tingle from their kiss fades, Merlin is he a good kisser. Breathing deeply, she prepares to step out of the shadows when Harry and Ron race out into the hallway.
"Sirius," shouts Harry as he runs towards his godfather, followed by Ron. "You don't want to be out here." Upon reaching Sirius, both Harry and Ron latch onto one of his arms. Tugging Sirius back into the dinning hall, but Sirius wasn't going willingly.
"Harry," grumbles Sirius as he tries to remove his godson's grip from his arm. "She went out here." Fruitlessly gesturing to the hallway, "I have to know who she is."
"Sirius," groans Ron as he struggles with the older man. "Trust us! You don't want to be out here."
A sinking feeling hits Hermione's stomach. What did you guys do? It better not be what I think you did!
Mere seconds pass, Sirius was proving that he was stronger then both Ron and Harry together. Sirius firmly remains in the hallway, but closer to the entranceway then when he first went out into the hall.
Boom!
A loud, stinky dungbomb goes off. Covering Harry and Ron from head to toe. While only splashing over Sirius's broad chest. Sirius gives both Harry and Ron a dirty look as he glares at them.
"I don't know why you two would want to pull a prank," condemns Sirius approaching the pair. "When your best friend has spent over month getting this shindig ready for your enjoyment."
You tell them, Sirius! Maybe they'll listen to you. Both Harry and Ron look humiliated to begin with, after hearing Sirius both look just plain miserable. I will forgive you two dunderheads but I want some apologies first!
Students start pouring out of the dinning room, taking in the scene. With sweeping robes Professor Snape stands far enough away for the scene but close enough that Sirius could see his smug smile. "I knew this would come in handy," sneers Professor Snape as he reaches into the confines of his robes. Pulling out a camera he starts to take photos.
Draco escorting his date, steps out into the hall, a flash of anger graces his face. "Potter! Weasley! Ten points from Gryffindor!" snaps Draco. Holding out his hand, Draco helps his date pass the site without getting any of the dung on her.
Smiling softly, Psyche lightly kisses Draco's cheek. "Cupid dear, I'll see you back at Olympus." Psyche glares coldly at Harry and Ron as she passes them; she appears to be making her way towards the Slytherin common room.
Watching Psyche intently Draco's smile grows with every step she takes. Too bad so sad, smirks Hermione from the shadows. She's not in Slytherin
Feeling a sharp invisible hand tug at her bottom, so long tail. Straightening up, squaring her shoulders, time to come out and play, before someone kills someone. Moving gracefully, Hermione makes her way towards the 'accident scene.'
"Ron," Hermione shouts, getting their attention. "Harry, Professor Black," pausing before them, she looks them over. "Are you ok?"
"Fine," both Ron and Harry grumble under their breaths with a worried expression on their faces. They glance nervously around for sudden help.
"Yeah," dismiss Sirius raising an eyebrow. "That's what you wore?"
Glaring at Sirius, so what if I did wear this? Would that have been a problem! "Ron, Harry can either of you explain what happened here?" Gesturing to the site before her.
Watching them struggle to come up with a good enough explanation, Draco smirks. "It's being handled," waving his wand Draco starts to clean up the mess. "All but the smell coming off them."
"Well," snaps Sirius looking down at Harry and Ron. "What are you waiting for? A golden invitation! Hit the showers!" Jumping up, Harry and Ron quietly head towards Gryffindor.
"I am sorry, Mione," whispers Sirius as he too walks away.
Glaring at their retreating backs, Draco shakes his head. "It could have been anyone coming out this way."
"Just a shame it was the people responsible," laughs Hermione showing Draco that she wasn't really upset with her friends. "What? If I laughed they would be doing this every day at lest five times."
Gryffindor
Hermione's room
Hearing the shower running, Hermione waits patiently for Ginny to step out. With a towel around her body, Ginny enters the room.
"Well how did your evening go?"
Laughing, Ginny answers, "surprisingly smooth." Picking up her brush Ginny starts to smooth out her wet hair. "Draco can be a real gentleman," pausing her eyes glaze over. "When he wants to be one."
Laughing at seeing her friend wearing a lovesick expression, Hermione states, "too bad he thinks you're a Slytherin."
Smirking, Ginny wiggle her eyebrows. "Do you think Ron or Harry noticed?"
"Nope."
Dinning Room
Breakfast
Hermione walks around the dinning hall informing all the girl perfects about the date for 'Ladies Night.' Days that girl perfects get together and discussed or air their problems. The meet was set for later that night.
At the Head Table
Sirius watches Hermione take a turn round around the room; she didn't even bat an eye when she talked to Millicent the Slytherin perfect. Narrowing his eyes, Sirius observing her as she glides across the room. Making her way towards her 'best-friends'. Shaking his head, she can't still be mad about that. Can she?
Sitting down in between Harry and Ron, Hermione glances around for Ginny. Not finding her, Hermione asks, "So Ron what did you think of Ginny's costume last night?" Glancing at her best friends under her lashes she notices two bright spots of red on both of their checks. "You did talk to her, right?"
At the Head Table
Remus watches in bemusement as both Harry and Ron start to look very mortified. "Wonder what they did this time?" Glancing at Sirius, "want to go find out?" Winking at him, he and Sirius got up and headed for the Gryffindor table.
Gryffindor Table
Gulping hard, "well," struggles Ron. "I really didn't notice her."
Gasping, "Ron," Hermione hisses at him. "How could you not notice your sister!"
"Well Hermione," offers Remus as he approaches the table. "It was a costume party."
Sighing loudly, "Not you too," nervously looking around Hermione almost groans when she spots Ginny walking in. "Look she's here now. Just tell her she looked beautiful, because she really did." And thank Merlin you dimwits didn't notice her missing last night!
