~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.
Game Day
Hermione's room
Waving her wand, Hermione charms the ends of her hair to curl. Parting her hair, she pulls it up into two pigtails. Thus making her hair fluff upward and outwards. I look like a dumb blonde. Applying makeup to her face, last night's scene with Sirius and Professor Niko rings around her head.
At least talking to Ginny helps. Smirking evilly at her reflection in the mirror, she stands up. Inspecting her cheerleading outfit, Hermione pauses. Last time I wore something this short, Sirius charmed my cloths to become longer. Smiling evilly, she takes her wand muttering several enchantments until she was satisfied. There that should make things interesting. With the added bonus of getting Draco to agree to my dare, today will be a day that will not soon be forgotten.
Series of knocking at her door, just before it opens. Hermione looks to see Ginny standing there blushing furiously. "Problem, Ginny?"
"Are they supposed to be this short?"
"I answered that at the meeting," dismisses Hermione rolling her eyes. "Yes, they're supposed to be this short."
"You do realize that Sirius is just going to use a spell to make them longer," comments Ginny. "Right?"
"Ginny," purrs Hermione with a decisive twinkle in her eyes. "You have just given me the best idea."
"Oh god."
Dinning Hall
Teacher's table
Laughing with Remus, Sirius smirks as the Slytherin girls walk in. What in Merlin's name are they wearing? This should be good. Some of the girls were wearing green and silver outfits with the skirts above the knee. Smirking Sirius nudges Remus. "Cheek out the Slytherin girls."
"Bloody hell," stutters Remus. "What are they wearing?"
"It's called a cheerleading outfit," sneers Professor Snape down the table. "Professor Niko thinks it will improve the muggleborn and pureblood relations."
"Smashing," laughs Sirius irritating Snape. "Although somehow I don't think that is the relations that are going to be improved." Looking at Remus, Sirius says under his breath, "I don't think any of the Gryffindor girls will be wearing that."
Loud boisterous chants come from just outside the Gryffindor entranceway. Gazing towards the doorway, Sirius watches Hermione, Ginny, Lavender and three other Gryffindor girls walk in wearing the same cheerleading outfit, only this time in Gryffindor colors. Clearing his throat, Sirius reaches for his wand. This is for her own good. Muttering off a spell Sirius looks away, as the spell goes to work.
"Hermione," bellows Ron pointing to her skirt. "It's shrinking!"
Swiftly looking back, Sirius notices instantly that his spell did the opposite effect of what he wanted to have happen. Bloody hell! That wasn't what I wanted! Whoa! Where did Hermione get those legs? Shaking his head to clear the dirty thoughts that were penetrating his brain. Sirius flushes profusely when Remus nudges him demanding, "What did you do that for?"
Sirius glowers at the student body as loud catcalls and suggestive comments were rudely voiced. "That spell didn't work the way it way suppose to," growls Sirius not taking his eyes off the students. "I was trying to charm her skirt longer."
"It didn't work," says Remus stating the obvious.
Dinning Hall
Slightly Hermione's POV
Feeling Sirius's eyes on her, Hermione smiles knowingly to herself. Bet you didn't think I would be wearing something like this. Striding towards her usual seat at the table, Hermione hears Ron bellowing.
"Hermione!" Glancing over to her best friend, Hermione sees that he's pointing at her. Oh guess Sirius tried to do something about my outfit. "It's shrinking!" Giving one of her best friends a fake glare, Hermione takes her seat.
All right now I have to portray a typical dumb blonde. I could just pretend that I'm a Malfoy but somehow I don't think that Draco will be too pleased. Tapping her fingers on the table, Hermione smirks at Ginny. Turning her gaze to Harry and Ron, Hermione pouts at them, and then bats her eyelashes at them. This causing both Harry and Ron look at Hermione questionably.
"Oh look, the girls have gotten into their roles," laughs Professor Niko. Hermione and Ginny slightly cringe at her condescending tone. "You look so cute, Hermy." Professor Niko turns towards Sirius and Remus as they approach. "Don't you, gentleman think so?"
"Think what," questions Remus.
"That the girls look so cute," purrs Professor Niko as she strokes Sirius's arm.
"Sure," dismisses Sirius.
"Is Professor Niko your girlfriend," asks Ginny as she bats her eyes at Remus. Remus gives Ginny a weird look. "Professor Black."
I'll give you cute! "Yes, you old folks look so cute together," gushes Hermione as Professor Niko and Black cringe. "So are you? Professor Blacky?"
"Blacky," whispers Sirius, blinking his eyes. "What?"
"Oh," squeals Hermione jumps up. "Ladies! We have to go! We need to get ready!"
"Mione," states Sirius confused. "You're already dressed?"
"What? I need makeup," shouts Hermione as she and the girls rush away.
Hallway
Outside Dinning Hall
Struggling to control her laughter, Hermione closes her eyes refusing to even look at Ginny. Knowing that if she did so, she would burst. Taking a deep breath, Hermione squeaks, "That went well."
Ginny chokes out, "Smashing I say. Just simply smashing." Laughter was evident in her voice. "I wish I could be there when Draco pulls his stunt."
"Me too," huffs Hermione as her laughter starts to fade. "Do you see the others?"
"Millie is coming this way now."
Waving to each other, both sets of cheerleaders head outside towards the Quidditch pit.
Dinning Hall
Slytherin table
Swallowing his breakfast with dread, Draco watches Hermione
and Ginny leave the dinning hall. I can do this. It's disgusting
but I can do this. Steadying his
hands, Draco recalls what Hermione told him
earlier.
"Draco, think about it," says Hermione. "They won't know what hit them."
"But still," argues Draco. "It's…"
"I know, it's uncomfortable," interrupts Hermione. "But that's why I dare you to do it."
Plastering on a smirk to his face Draco stands up. Striding over to the Gryffindor table, Draco squares his shoulders. Can't believe I'm going to do this.
Gryffindor table
Slightly from Draco's
POV
Ron spots him first; giving Harry the usual warning that he was coming over. Sweeping the table with his eyes, Draco forces his smirk to stay on his face. At least Ginny is not here for this. Pausing, Draco fixing his stare on Harry.
"What do you want Malfoy," demands Ron.
"Potter," snickers Draco keeping his eyes on Harry.
"Why," questions Harry. Narrowing his green eyes.
Moving swiftly but gracefully Draco is suddenly standing extremely close to Harry. Tilting his head, Draco's mouth is alongside Harry's ear. Whispering seductively, Draco says, "I want you." Might as well get into the swing of things. Tracing his tongue along Harry's ear, before blowing lightly.
Involuntarily shivering and jumping, Harry blushes a furious shade of red. Shoving Malfoy away from him, Harry then storms towards the exit of the dinning hall.
Draco calls out, "Don't walk away mad, just walk away." Sprinting Ron closely trails after Harry. Smirking at the leaving pair, Draco winks at the stunned professors. "What?" Draco saunters away.
"What the hell," a whisper Remus as Sirius very slowly starts to recover.
"You got that right," says Sirius.
High-pitched laughter erupts from Professor Niko. Laughing, "I knew it." Linking her arms with both Remus and Sirius, she smiles predatorily at them. "I just knew that Draco and Harry were lovers." Shocking both men with her outrageous claim. "That's why Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger fight so much."
"What," stutters Remus.
"Miss Granger wants Potter for herself," viciously states Professor Niko. "But he's taken by Mr. Malfoy."
Quidditch Field
Game Time
During the game, the girls rework muggle cheer to fit their game of Quidditch. Most of the student body caught on, clapping and chanting along with the girl. The outfits the girls were wearing fascinated the rest of the student body. All the boys notice how short the skirts were as they distracted several players.
When Hermione would do flips she was almost mooning the student body. As the game continues the teachers couldn't figure out whom the students were cheering for the boys playing Quidditch or the girls cheering.
Feeling the air swoosh around him, Draco spots Harry looking at him funny. What? I guess someone wants to play! Liking his lips, Draco intently stares at Harry as he runs his hands up and down his broomstick.
Harry being totally freaked out by Malfoy's suggestive gestures he found himself flying crazy. Sweat was poring off of him as he desperately looks for the snitch. Going after anything that remotely glitters gold, Harry found himself going after a pair of glasses, a ring and several other fluffy things until at last the snitch came out of hiding.
Going full speed at the snitch Harry caught it. Without landing Harry races his broom back to the castle. Only getting off at the last second to rush upstairs to the Gryffindor common room. He didn't stop once.
