~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.

Hermione's Room
Freaky Friday Morning

Sirius opens the door without knocking, there before him is Hermione with her back to him. She was standing right in front of her bed muttering to herself. As he wraps his arms around her he was rewarded with a surprised squeak.

"Good morning," mutters Sirius as he kisses Hermione's neck. Instantly spotting a box with his name on it on her bed. What's this? Smirking down at her, "I spoke to Dumbledore last night," planting a kiss next to her ear. "He says that he's willing to administer your Charms NEWT."

"Hmmm," moans Hermione nuzzling into Sirius. "That's nice."

"What have you got there?"

"Nothing," hurriedly dismisses Hermione twisting in his arms she kisses him. Nice try, Mione but not going to work.

Smirking as he recognizes the obvious distraction tact's that Hermione was tempting to pull. Sirius states, "Then you won't mind if I take a look will you?" Kissing her breathless, Sirius flips open the lid Sirius sees an arrow pointing up with the words: "The Man."

This isn't so bad glancing at her face. Pulling the shirt out of the box Sirius is shocked by the rest of the shirt. An arrow pointing down along with the words, "The legend." Merlin! "What?" Looking at the exposed tee shirt then to Hermione.

"I was planning on giving it to you later," whispers a tomato red Hermione.

"Hmmm," mutters Sirius enjoying the blush before glancing down to read Hermione's tee shirt.

Sirius smirks until he reads her tee shirt. Rememnber my NAME you'll be SCREAMING it LATER! My god! Does she think I'm letting her out of this room wearing that?

Seeing his eyes glisten as he stares at her. "Ah...ah," stammers Hermione just a bit. "What?"

"Is later now?"

"What," looking down to were Sirius was looking Hermione squeaks as Sirius once again wraps his arms around her. "Sirius!"

Dinning Hall
Breakfast


A blushing Hermione walks in holding a devilishly grinning Sirius. Ron and Harry start to laugh as they pointed to Hermione's tee shirt.

"That's so true," laughs Harry. Reading off Hermione's shirt, "To save time, let's just assume I know everything. And you do, but that's not shocking Mione."

"Well, Harry," snickers Ron. "I don't think Hermione can do shocking."

"Ronald," barks Sirius getting both boys attention. "She doesn't need to shock you, just me." Harry and Ron flush as Hermione winks at them. "Harry," pointing to his shirt. "Do you really hear voices?"

"Ah...long story," laughs Ginny as she sits down. "Stand up Harry I want to read your shirt." Harry stands, Ginny reads out loud, "I HEAR VOICES…AND THEY DON'T LIKE YOU," and then squinting her eyes she barely makes out the words Harry added, "Professor Snape. HARRY!"

"What," blushes Harry. "You should read what Ron's wearing!"

Glancing over to her brother Ginny reads, "I'm not LAZY I just don't give a damn!." Laughing hard, Ginny gasps as Crabbe and Goyle walk by. "Do they know what they're wearing?"

"Nope," whispers Hermione. Seeing Ginny's confused look, "If I had to give Sirius that tee shirt Draco had to do something similar." Sirius, Ron and Harry look over to the Slytherin table.

Ron reads off Crabble's shirt, "Let's get lost I know the way I've been there before."

As Harry reads off Goyle's, "Nope, I'm not confused. I look this way all the time." The group laughed as they sat down for breakfast.

Ladies Night
Wednesday two weeks later

"So how is everyone," asks Ginny hearing rounds of groan and grumbles. "So NEWT's are taking their toll, huh?"

"Laugh it up while you can," snaps Jade. "You have to take them next year."

"So, I get Mione's notes to study from," dismisses Ginny as she laughs at their plausible shock. "Now let's get on to something of importance, Grad night."

"Been planned since before school," informs Kathy. "But the same problem occurs every year."

"What problem is this," asks Ginny looking confused.

"The teachers always find out and ruin the fun," grumbles Millie. "Last year they stopped Flunder from pulling her stunt."

"What stunt," asks Jade.

"See," states Millie. "No one knows what she was planning on doing!"

"We need a plan," decides Kathy. Everyone turns to Hermione who has her feet tucked under her looking unseeing at nothing a soft smile resides on her face.

"What are you planning," demands Ginny as she swats Hermione.

"A distraction," mutters Hermione. "But this distraction has several problems with it."

"Problems," questions Jade; everyone was interested in the problem that has the Head Girl stumped. "Like what?"

"Well, we would need three people; two in a crunch…." pausing to put it into words. "Plus we would need to be prepared to face steep consequences." Seeing the question on everyone's mind. "Expulsion, if caught."

"What problems." "Expulsion? For what?" Let's hear the plan then decided what to do." Rang around the room.

"First we would need to get into Professor Snape's stores for the potion ingredients. Find three or two people who are dumb enough to drink the potion but smart enough to stick to the time frame and dialog. It would be best if one was a girl and another was a boy cause you see their going to play…."

Gryffindor Tower
Hermione's Room

"Merlin! Mione," gasps Ginny. "How long have you been planning that? It will be brilliant if you can pull it off."

"Since fifth year when I was made perfect and found out that the teacher usually stop all antics on Grad night."

"Wow," whispers Ginny. "If Millie can get her to fall for it, I would be happy if it didn't work."

Laughing Hermione tosses a pillow at Ginny. "Between you and me and the wall, I agree. Plus if Jade gets Justin for the male role! It would be priceless if it didn't succeed."

"That it would, I would love for Colin to have a picture of their faces!"

"Me too. They deserve it."

"I hope Draco doesn't kill you for this," laughs Ginny.

"Why should he? He has kissed her before."

"Yuck! You had to remind me!"
