Disclaimer: I do *not* own Harry Potter. Nope.
On with the story, then...
*****
Lily sat up, suddenly looking interested.
"How is the wizard version different?" she asked.
"Well...you cast a spell so that you absolutely have to tell the truth. And one that makes sure you do the dare. And also, you aren't allowed to tell anybody anything you learned while playing, and if you don't tell the truth, you'll have a fit of hiccups until you do."
"Sounds interesting," Lily said, twirling her hair, "You guys in?"
"Sure," said Callia.
Hermione gulped. She had never played this sort of game with anyone ever before...but she had never had girl friends before, either... "Of course I'm in!" she said, joining the other girls on the floor.
And so the game began...
"Myra, it was your idea, so you go first," Callia said.
"Okay," Myra said, grinning impishly, "Lily. Do you like James Potter?"
Lily smiled a little smile, then replied, "Yes."
"Lil, your turn."
"Um....," said Lily, "Myra. I dare you to kiss Remus Lupin in front of everyone at breakfast."
"Okay!" she said, happily. Myra had always liked Remus and didn't care who knew.
"My turn," she said, cackling, "Lily!"
"Ugh, me again?"
"Yep! I dare you to ask James to go to Hogsmeade with you. On a date."
"No...no, no. Anything else, please!!" begged Lily.
"Ah, ah, ah," Myra said, "You know the rules."
"Fine. Okay...my turn? Yes...um....Callia. I dare you to tonight, before the Marauders go to bed, sneak into their dorm and get into Sirius's bed. And when he asks you what you're doing, ask why he's in your room!!"
"Lily, you are mean!!!" Callia said, putting on a fake pout, "Oh, I know! Hermione!"
"Yes?"
"I'm picking you, silly. Okay, I dare you to go down to the common room, stand on one of the tables, and dance."
"Ugh. Call, you're the mean one!"
*****
It was 9:55, and Callia knew for a fact that the Marauders went to bed at 10:00. Making sure no one was watching, she snuck into the boys dorm and climbed into Sirius's bed. After a long while of waiting, she heard footsteps on the stairs. They were coming.
"--she's never going to say yes, Prongs. Face it. She doesn't like you," Sirius said.
"Shut up."
Sirius rolled his eyes and walked over to his bed. Callia's heart pounded...she didn't know why...it was just a dumb prank....
He pulled back the curtains.
"What the--?" he said.
"Huh?" James asked, coming over.
"What?" "Why are you in my bed?" Sirius asked, eyebrows raised.
"Hiding something from us, Padfoot?" James said, "Having some midnight snogging sessions, I suppose..."
"Your bed?" Callia asked, looking confused.
"Yeah...my bed."
"This is my bed," she said, desperately trying to hold back laughter, "Why are you all in my room?"
"Are you drunk or something?" Remus asked, seeing Callia in his friend's bed.
"No, I'm sleeping. In my bed. That is, until you arrived."
"This is my bed!" Sirius exclaimed, becoming frustrated.
"Well of course it is, silly!" Callia cooed, "Who's else would it be?"
With that, she climbed out of Sirius's bed and practically ran back to the girls dorm.
"We heard everything!" Myra said, between giggles,
"This vent...you can hear...everything!"
The girls burst into a fit of giggles, leaving the boys in their dorm, looking dumbstruck and confused.
*****
It was morning. And time for Lily and Myra to do their dares...
Lily spotted James outside the breakfast hall and, winking at her friends, hurried over to him. As soon as James saw her, his hand immediately flew to his hair.
"James?" she asked, sweetly.
"Yes, m'dear?" he replied, smirking.
"I was wondering...if you would go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend."
James looked slightly taken aback, then, straightening himself out, replied, "Sure...yeah, okay! I'll uh...pick you up in the common room. 1:00?"
"Sounds great," she said, and for extra measure, pecked him on the cheek.
Myra, Callia and Hermione tryed hard not to laugh. It was too funny.
"Okay," Lily said, walking back over to them, "I did it. Now it's your turn, Myra."
"Fine, fine, I'm going!" she said.
Myra walked into the breakfast hall. Remus was sitting, as usual, with the Marauders, with a mouth full of bacon.
"Remus?" she asked, "Could I talk to you for a minute?"
"Yeah..." he said, climbing out from the table.
Myra steered Remuss to the front of the hall, and braced herself.
"Why d'you want to talk here?" he asked, eyebrows lowered inquisitively.
"Well, because I had to do this," Myra replied. She stood up on her tip- toes, he was a good 5 inches taller than her, and planted a kiss on his lips.
"Wha-?"
"Just a dare, Remmy," Myra teased, walking to her friends.
*****
"What was that all about?" asked James when Remus got to the table.
"I don't know..." he replied, getting back to his breakfast.
"So you ready for the prank? We're still doing it today, right?" James asked Sirius.
"Of course I'm ready. We just have to wait for Snivellus to arrive." Snape soon arrived, and sat himself next to Malfoy.
"Perfect," Sirius said, silkily.
The Marauders and Ron & Harry huddled together, and Sirius said,
"It's go time, boys."
James stuck his hand under the table, and, pointing his wand at Snape, muttered a spell. His hair instantly turned a deep red, and then changed from that to gold.
"Potter..." he said under his breath, storming over to the Gryffindor table.
"I don't think thats your colour, Snivellus," Sirius taunted as Snape approached.
"You..." he said.
Sirius didn't reply. He pulled out his wand fast, and muttered the second spell.
Snape opened his mouth to say, 'I'll get you gits one day...especially Potter...' but it came out as, "What ever have I done to be worthy of such good prank-age?" The Marauders burst out laughing, so did anyone else who had heard. Snape's eyes widened in horror, and he tryed to say, 'You...idiots...Gryffindors...shouldn't be allowed here..." but it came out as,
"Gryffindor is the best house at Hogwarts! Slytherins shouldn't even be allowed here!"
The Marauders held their sides they were laughing so hard.
"And for the finale..." Remus said. Malfoy, as planned, hurried to Snapes aid. Harry and Ron pointed their wands at him, and Remus and Peter pointed theirs at Snape. Together, they muttered the final spell. Malfoy and Snape looked dazed, as if they had been drugged or something. They sauntered up to the front of the hall, and in their magnified voices said in unison,
"We, Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape, would like to say that we love muggle- borns, and that we think they are the best people on the whole earth!"
This made the entire hall erupt into laughter, even some of the staff, although they tried to hide it.
"Black, Pettigrew, Lupin, Weaver, Potter and Palmer," McGonagall said, sternly, albeit slightly smiling, "My office. Now."
*****
The pranksters managed to get off with only a week of detention, not bad considering they had figured maybe a month or so.
"Hey...I forgot to tell you something," James said, looking awfully proud of himself.
"Uh-huh, what?" asked Sirius.
"Evans asked me out."
"WHAT?" Remus practically yelled.
"Sheesh, calm down, Moony," Sirius said, looking intently at James.
"Really? She did? When?"
"Just before breakfast. She asked me to go to Hogsmeade with her. And then, " he said, pausing for dramatic effect, "She kissed me."
Sirius's eyes nearly bugged out of his head.
"She--Lily Evans...asked YOU out? She hates you!" he exclaimed.
"Nah...no one can resist the Potter charm," James replied, looking smug.
Remus hadn't said anything in a while, and Peter was just jumping up and down excitedly.
"Moony? Why aren't you talking?"
"Just thinking," he said, "It must be a cold day in hell, the day Lily Evans asks you out!!"
