~ 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.

Freaky Friday
Dinning Hall

Sitting down between Ron and Harry, Hermione smirks at Draco who was slowly making his way towards the Gryffindor table. Move it along Snake Boy. I want to see how you handle a table of my peers. Smirking at his unsure facial expression. "Draco you can sit next to Ginny." Who was directly in front of Ron. As his glowering expression, Hermione offers, "Or I can sit next to Ginny and you can sit between Harry and Ron?"

"No thanks," sneers Draco as he quickly sits next to Ginny. Smirking at Ron's irritated expression.

Laughing softly, both Ron and Harry look at Hermione funny. Until she nods her head towards the two individuals who had just come into the dinning hall, causing them to smirk at Draco.

"Are you sure you want to sit there," snickers Ron barely controlling his urge to sneer at Draco's stupidity. Draco jumps as Sirius and Remus sit at the student table instead of the head table.

"Have a good day," asks Hermione to them. Sirius growls at Draco, causing him to slightly shiver.

"Sirius," snaps Hermione glaring at him. "Enough. Remember I have to sit at his table next Friday."

"Actually Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy," interrupts Dumbledore. "Since you two are getting along better, this will be the last switch." His twinkling eyes, and kind smile. "So I suggest that you make the best of it." With that Dumbledore walks to the head table.

"So Draco," purrs Hermione. "I see that you're finally having dinner with Ginny."

"Yeah," grumbles Draco.

"Bet it beats Quidditch," snickers Hermione as she watches Ron and Harry glare at him.

"Sure does," readily agrees Draco. Which causes Ginny to blush, but gets both Ron and Harry to argue with him. Soon Draco, Harry and Ron where having a long decision on Quidditch. Rolling her eyes, Hermione winks at Sirius, who smirks at her. Didn't see that one coming did you?

I don't want to hear about Quidditch all evening. Pausing, then nodding at Ginny, Hermione smirks before stating, "So, what are you all wearing next week?"

"Yeah," laughs Ginny, who understands what Hermione was trying to do.

"I don't understand, Biker and Babes," asks Sirius.

"It's Biker Babes," corrects Ginny. "You know tight leather cloths." Purring for effect.

"Well," huffs Hermione. "I know what Ron, Draco and Harry are wearing since I picked it out. But what about you Remus and Sirius?"

"What about us," questions Remus.

"Are you going to participate," asks Hermione. "I know I would love to see some leather on certain someone." Smirking, Sirius laughs. Both Hermione and Ginny work on Remus and Sirius until they both agree to wear leather on Friday.

Gryffindor Tower
Hermione's Room

Flopping down on her bed, Hermione smirks. Next week is Prank Week, laughing deeply she didn't hear Ginny coming into the room. Gasping in shock as Ginny's face suddenly appears before her. Hermione playfully slaps Ginny's arm as she laughs at her.

"So," ponders Ginny. "I want to know what you're planning on doing next week."

"What makes you think I'm planning something," dismisses Hermione.

"You forget who you're talking to," laughs Ginny. "Plus I know you haven't gotten Remus back for butting into your relationship."

"Ok, fine," playfully groans Hermione. "You've found me out," sighing dramatically. "Well first I'm planning on starting the week off with a bang."

"Does Draco know about this," asks Ginny.

"Who do you think thought of it," laughs Hermione.

"You do know that Prank Week is for the student's to prank the teachers, right," asks Ginny.

"Of course," laughs Hermione. "But remember this is me you're talking to."

"I can't wait until Monday," snickers Ginny.

Dinning Hall
Manic Monday

Stepping into the hall, Hermione walks wearing lose black leather pants and a pale pink sweater. Damn is it cold in here. Glancing over to the Slytherin table, Hermione tries not to smile. This is going to be really interesting. Taking her usual seat, Hermione patiently waits for the mail. Halfway throw breakfast the owl's pour in.

"Merlin, Draco that's a Howler," gasps Pantsy. "What did you do to deserver one?"

Taking a deep breath, Hermione wipes her sweaty palms on her napkin. Just a few more seconds. Glancing at the teacher's table, she slowly lets out her breath. Snape, Dumbledore, and Professor McGonagall are not here, Thank God.

"MALFOY YOU BLOODY STUPID GIT," shouts Hermione's voice via the howler. "WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING?? OH! I FORGOT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO THINK!!! THIS IS PRANK WEEK, YOU DUMB BAS&*^!"

Silence fills the hall; no one could believe that Hermione Granger sent Draco Malfoy a howler. Even Ron and Harry look at her funny before shouting out their identical praise.

Sirius just busts out laughing, as he comes up to the Gryffindor table. "Mione, Prank Week is for the students to prank the teachers." Seeing her utter horror on her face, Sirius laughs even harder.
