Players Revealed, Old Friends Return
Me: "Quite a surprise last chapter. I don't think any of you saw that coming. Grand idea."
Harry: "I bet Draco Malfoy is playing for Slytherin."
Me: "My muses complain too much."
Snape: "If Harry of Gryffindor owned Harry Potter do you seriously think he would be typing up fan fiction on his home computer. No. He is just a teen with a highly dangerous obsession."
Note: The plot bunnies made me do it. OotP spoilers ahead!

Everyone ate breakfast as fast as humanly possible the next morning. Everybody was anxious to know who would be playing Truth or Dare that evening. After what seemed like an eternity Dumbledore rose and the plates were wiped clean.
"I believe you would like to know who would be playing Truth or Dare later. Some things have changed though, instead of Professor Snape, a surprise person will be playing, and we will have two players, a boy and a girl, from each house. Okay, from Gryffindor, we have Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, from Hufflepuff, we have Justin Finch-Fletchey and Hannah Abbot, from Ravenclaw, we have Luna Lovegood and Anthony Goldstein, and from Slytherin, Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. Students under sixth year are forbidden to watch due to nature of the game, as are teachers. Thank you."
After Dumbledore finished people began filing out of the Great Hall, the younger students muttering angrily about not being able to watch the game.
First thing after breakfast was Potions with Snape. Today they were starting a new project, Polyjuice Potion. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had no trouble with this potion, having brewed and taken it illegally in their second year, but that was not true for other students, Neville's was periwinkle blue and had the consistency of glue, Malfoy's was better, but still abysmal. That cheered up Harry
Next was Care of Magical Creatures, where they studied Phoenixes, then lunch, after that there was Divination where they studied planets in-depth with Firenze, Transfiguration where they were turning furniture into animals, as McGonagall had mentioned in their very first year and Charms, where they were learning Protean Charms. Then Dinner came. It was pretty good and after it was over Dumbledore cleared the Hall of underage students. All of them groaned and complained before leaving, reluctantly. With a wave of a wand the tables were gone and the spectators backed up leaving a fair sized circle in the middle of the Hall. Dumbledore conjured 11 chintz armchairs, 2 green for Slytherin, 3 red for Gryffindor and McGonagall, 2 yellow for Hufflepuff, 3 blue for Ravenclaw and Dumbledore, and 1 royal purple for the mystery player. The players sat for a minute before the Hall doors to reveal none other than Remus Lupin.

Harry of Gryffindor: "Cliffy! Sorry but the plot bunnies told me to stop there"
Snape: "Lupin? Lupin took my place in that blasted game? Lupin?"
Dumbledore: "Yes, Remus, Severus. Stop complaining.
Harry: "Next chapter, The Second Game Begins!"
Me: "Quite a surprise last chapter. I don't think any of you saw that coming. Grand idea."
Harry: "I bet Draco Malfoy is playing for Slytherin."
Me: "My muses complain too much."
Snape: "If Harry of Gryffindor owned Harry Potter do you seriously think he would be typing up fan fiction on his home computer. No. He is just a teen with a highly dangerous obsession."
