~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.
Manic Monday (Last week)
Dinning Hall
Sitting at the Head Table Sirius slowly drums out a tune annoying most of the teachers sitting at the table. Only Remus could understand why Sirius was so anxious. Come on Sirius, Hermione will be fine. Even if today is the Flying NEWT.
Hearing loud screams coming from outside both Sirius and Professor McGonagal abruptly stand-up. Glaring at each other, they both sit down. Seeing his best friend stare at the door as if willing Hermione to walk in, Remus shakes his head.
"Sirius, you said that she was ready for her NEWT," reminds Remus.
Not turning his head Sirius replies, "Yes but that was with just me out there, not her entire class."
Ok, he has a point, Hermione does tense up when she feels like she gonna fail. Remembering how it took Harry fifteen minutes to calm her down in their third year, Remus starts to tense up.
Suddenly the doors bust open and in runs a third year Hufflepuff. "Miss Barns!" barks Professor McGonagal. "This is not the race track!"
A squeaky "Yes Madman," was heard from the girl before she sat down. More students started to filter in. Since it was the last week of muggle cloths many of the student were wearing blue jeans and tee shirts with expressions on them.
Finally the seventh years started to make their way to their tables. Spotting Harry's bright yellow tee shirt with a smiley face with a hole in the head, Sirius groans. "Harry needs help picking out his cloths."
"What are you complaining about," questions Remus. "Have you seen Ron's tee shirt?"
"Yeah," laughs Sirius. "But his is true." Ron's tee shirt says Irish looks but an Italian temper. With twinkling eyes, Sirius spots Hermione with grass stains on her blue jeans. Getting up he makes his way to her side, "What happened?"
"Harry and Ron," laughs Hermione. "Next time, I'll get you." Both boys fakely mutter, "We're so scared," as they leave Sirius and Hermione alone. "I swear if they weren't my best friends I'd hurt them somehow."
Laughing he wraps his arms around her, "SO did you pass?" Sparing a glance at her tee shirt Sirius merely raises his eyebrows, so You're all stressed out without anyone to choke?
Grumbling then groaning, "yes, but Harry's marks will superceded mine."
"Mione," admonishes Sirius. "You can't be perfect in everything! You passed that's all that matters."
"Yes but," starts Hermione until her looks up into Sirius's eyes. "What did you do?"
"What me," attempting to play innocent which Hermione smirks at him until he cracks. "After dinner, come with me and find out." Sitting down Hermione and Sirius join the rest of Gryffindor for dinner.
Gryffindor Tower
Bell Tower
Hand in hand, Sirius leads Hermione up to the bell tower. The bell tower is at the top of the girl's dormitories; the room is a small round room with window still seats and large windows with flowing curtains. Upon entering the room, Hermione gasps at all the scentless candles that Sirius set-up; along with a bottle of sweet wild berry juice (can't have alcoholic since it was Monday) and chocolate covered strawberries.
"Oh Sirius," cries Hermione right before she kisses him.
Hermione's Room
Later that Night
Knocking on the door startled her out of her retrieve. "Come in," shouts Hermione looking up to see Ginny walk throw the door.
"So do tell," laughs Ginny. Blushing Hermione shakes her head no.
"Please I tell you just about everything," begs Ginny. Waving her over Hermione shows Ginny her hand, there on her ring finger was a Diamond 3 stone platinum ring. Ginny gushes over the ring as Hermione starts to turn beet red. (See bottom)
"So how did he ask," demands Ginny. "Wait does Harry know?"
"I think so," laughs Hermione. "Since he was the one Sirius had helped him pick out the ring."
Gryffindor Tower
Common Room
"So Sirius how did it go," demands Harry from one of the comfy chairs.
"She said yes," beams Sirius slowly his smile drains away.
"What is the problem then," asks Ron.
"What will her parents say," whispers Sirius as
the thought
just occurs to him. Both Harry and Ron
snort looking disgusted. Glancing back
on forth between the two boys, "Out with it," demands Sirius.
Gryffindor Tower
Hermione's Room
"So, he had the bell tower decked out in candles, plus
chocolate covered strawberries," states Hermione.
"Oh your favorite," moans Ginny. "And mine. Do you have any left?"
Swatting her, Hermione continues, "as I was saying," huffing at Ginny's pitiful expression. "I'm not giving you the good details," Hermione chokes back a laugh as Ginny pouts. "Sirius and I were sitting down on one of the window seats."
"How," interrupts Ginny.
Blushing, "Ok! You caught me. Sirius was sitting down; I was leaning on him. First he hands me a strawberry, then tells me to look out the window. He hands me, what I think is a strawberry until I almost put it in my mouth!" Hearing Ginny giggling, Hermione smiles. "Believe me when I tell you I was shocked. There in my hands was a black box; my hands were shaking so badly that I almost dropped it. Inside was this little beauty." Pointing to the ring on her finger, "That's when he whispers into my ear, Marry Me."
"That's so…" trails off Ginny as her eyes glass over. Snapping out it Ginny smirks at Hermione, "Seeing as you're engaged to the man, Draco dares you to give him that tee shirt."
"What! No way," laughs Hermione. "Nah ah, no way."Until Later
