~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
Breakfast
Gryffindor table
"Hi guys," greets Ginny as she sits down. "So what did you think of my costume?" She turns to look at her brother first.
"Gin," replies Ron as he swallows what he shoved into his mouth. "You looked beautiful!" Watching his sister blush, Ron sighs. Whispering a silent, "thanks" to Hermione, Ron returns to his conversation with Harry.
Remus shook his head as Sirius stroked his chin. "Ginny."
Looking up at Sirius, Ginny smiles sweetly. "Yes?"
"How did you like your evening?"
Pondering a little, Ginny hums before answering. "It was a little strange, I only recognized a few people. But after talking to someone for a few minutes I king of figured out who they were. How about you?"
"Don't mind him dear," dismiss Remus as he playful slaps Sirius on the chest. "He's currently searching for someone."
"Really," interest sparks in Ginny's eyes. "Do tell?"
"Yep," laughs Remus. "Sirius got the shock of his life last night. A girl was able to out prank him in one day."
"A girl," laughs Hermione trying desperately not to smile. "Was she pretty?"
"She was so-so," answers Sirius tilting his hand up and down. What? You egotistical dog! "We've got class, so I will see you all at dinner."
"No," states Hermione turning her attention to her food. "You won't. Ginny and I have a meeting to go to." Under her lashes Hermione watches both Remus and Sirius walk out, going on about 'perfects and their bloody meetings.' Winking at Ginny who winks back letting her know that tonight was 'Ladies Night.' Hermione punches Ron who shouts for Harry to join them as the group head to class.
"Why she likes him," groans Ginny as she thinks about what Sirius said. "I'll never know."
Ladies Night
Transfiguration Room
Shutting the door, Hermione puts a sealing spell on. Ginny puts up a silencing spell. "Welcome my perfects, to the first meeting of Ladies of Hogwarts this year! Are we ready to began?"
Laughing Kathy (Muse, Ravenclaw perfect) answers, "yes we are. Millie (Slytherin Perfect) and I brought food and drinks. And Jade (Hufflepuff Perfect) brought the supplies." Pointing to the food and drinks on the table. The supplies were neatly piled on the floor. The girls sat around a circler table.
"Ah yes" remembers Millie right before she states, "Draco demands to know who Psyche is."
"Big deal," dismiss Kathy waving her hand. "Everyone else wants to know who Eris is. Even some of the teachers are asking."
"Please ladies," interrupts Ginny before the two could start fighting. "The only one who knows who everyone was that night is Hermione," gesturing to the lady in question. "And she is not talking."
Shaking her head, Millie smirks. "Hermione the resident know-it-all," fake bowing to her, "the Halloween Feast was an ingenious idea. How did you get Draco to agree to it?"
Smirking Ginny looks her dead in the eyes, "its all in what you know." Laughter floats throughout the room, even Millie laughs when her question goes unanswered.
"So did Flip ever clean the common room," asks Hermione.
Groaning, "no," placing some food on her plate. "It was if possible worst this morning."
"If you think that's bad," argues Millie pouring herself a drink. "Try the Slytherin common room, since you guys (Ron, Harry and Hermione) defended you-know-who it has looked like a trash can."
"I totally agree, the Hufflepuff rooms look like everyone has been partying all night long," states Jade angry displaying on her face. "The poor house-elves can't keep up with it all. What about the Gryffindor common room?"
"Looks like a bomb went off," groans Ginny as she puts some food on her plate. "That's not so bad. I hear the Heads of the houses are starting to get pissed off cause no-one is studying."
"Ok," groans Hermione stopping the conversation. "We all know that students are not studying, cleaning up after themselves. Is there anything else I need to know about?"
"Yes, Draco wants to know when the first official day of Quidditch will start."
Laughing, "That's all. He should be more concerned with what Dumbledore is going to do when the teachers tell him…" pausing Hermione's eyes take on this devilish glint. "Ladies," purrs Hermione. "How would you like to help me, help you?"
"How," asks Millie. "And at what cost?"
"Well," answers Hermione. "I was thinking of starting small, then if that doesn't work….then slam them hard."
