Ginny and Draco arrived back at the tower about ten minutes later.
Ginny took a seat on the floor and put about a dozen butter beers around her.
"Wow, Gin, you got enough butter beer for all of us?" Ron asked laughing.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted some too. Well, you should have said something," Ginny said seriously and took a sip of one of her bottles. "Okay, so Hermione, truth or dare."
Hermione said, "Okay, give me a dare."
"Oooo!" everyone said together.
"What?" Draco asked.
"Hermione rarely ever asks for dare," Ginny told him. She smiled widely and said, "You have to read something."
"That's it?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, do you accept this dare?"
"Yes, I accept this dare," Hermione proclaimed.
"Okay." Ginny got up and grabbed her romance novel from her book bag. She walked over to Hermione and said, "Read starting from here," she pointed to a paragraph, "and you end up," she turned the next few pages, "here," Ginny said.
"Okay."
Hermione made herself comfortable and was about to read when Ginny said, "You have to read with emotion."
"Okay," Hermione said and she started to read aloud.
"He climbed into her bedroom window.
"'Troy, what are you doing here?' asked Catherine.
"He walked swiftly over to her. " Catherine, I had to see you. You haven't spoken to me in so long that I was going insane. I have to tell you something."
"'Then tell me,' she said, 'and leave.'
"'I love you." Troy said.
"Catherine looked up at him and asked, 'You do?'
"'I do.' He leaned forward and laid a soft, loving kiss on her lips. He backed away and started towards the window.
"'Where are you going?' Catherine asked.
"'You told me to say what I needed to say and leave.'
"'Don't leave, Troy, I love you too.'
Troy ran over to her, gathered her up into his arms, and kissed her. 'I've waited so long to her those three simple words escape your lips,' he whispered.
"'Then let's not wait any longer,' Catherine said.
"Troy looked down, saw the passion in her eyes, and knew that she wanted the same thing he did. He lifted her into his arms and gently laid her on her bed, covering her body with his own..."
"Oh dear Merlin! No!" Hermione exclaimed as she finally realized what she was going to read.
"Yes, you picked dare, Hermione," Ginny said.
"Well, I want truth."
"Too late, you already accepted dare."
"Oh dear lord," Hermione said and continued to read the explicit love scene.
About 5 minutes later...
Ron and Lavender looked at each other, stood up, and ran from the room and into another.
Another 10 minutes later...
"'She smiled, kissed his chest, and said 'I love you' one last time before falling into a peaceful sleep." Hermione closed the book, flushed and totally embarrassed.
"Nice job reading, Granger," Draco said, smirking, "I never knew you had it in you. Potter must really enjoy you."
Harry opened his mouth to say something when Hermione exclaimed, "Harry does not enjoy me! I do not believe in having premarital sex."
"Sucks to be you, Potter."
"And tell us, Malfoy, how many girls have you enjoyed?" Harry asked him.
"Nope, not fair, Potter, it's not your turn. It's Hermione's turn."
Suddenly Ron and Lavender came back into the room and sat down on the floor with the others, their clothes all bunched up and wrinkly.
"Where did you two go?" Hermione asked.
"Uh... bathroom," Ron and Lavender said in unison. "I mean..."
"I went to the bathroom," Lavender said.
"And I... I..." Ron stuttered.
"Had to go help her," Draco finished the sentence for him.
"Right. I mean no! I mean--!" Ron exclaimed, looking flustered.
"Ron, get over it, we know what you two were doing!" Ginny said. "Unfortunately for me, though," Ginny mumbled under her breath. "Hermione, let's get this game on the road."
"Ron, truth or dare?" Hermione asked him.
"Give me truth, I can't take another dare."
"Who was your first?"
"My first as in what? My first love? My first crush? My first...."
"Oh dear lord, man! Just answer them all!" Draco exclaimed.
Ron shot Draco a nasty look and said, "My first and only love is Lavender." He took her hand in his. "She was my first for everything," he said, looked at her, and kissed her.
"Your first for everything?" Ginny eyed him.
"Uh-huh."
"Even your first crush?" Ginny asked, even though she already knew the answer.
Ron was awestruck; he had no clue that she knew the answer to this. He said, "Well, my truth is over!"
"Oh come on! Tell us!" everyone else exclaimed.
"Fine, it was... Hermione," he said softly.
"Who?" Ginny asked.
"It was Hermione," Ron said loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone gasped and looked at each other. "But that was a long time ago."
"How come you never told me?" Harry asked him in an upset tone of voice.
"Because it wasn't really that important. She was a crush, that's all!" He turned towards Lavender and said, "But you're the real thing." She smiled softly, and Ron said, "Besides, look at you, Harry. You had a huge crush on Cho for the longest of times."
"Yeah, and I'm sure that everyone here has had a crush on someone different than who they are with," Hermione said. "I mean I went out with Viktor Krum for a little, but now look! I'm with Harry!" She smiled and grabbed his hand.
"Yeah, and I had a crush on Harry, and look..." Ginny said, paused a moment, and then slowly said, "now he's with Hermione."
"Yeah, so we know that. So Harry, was there anyone before Hermione? Any other girls on the side?" Draco asked.
"No," said Harry. "Well, I mean there was that time that I kissed Cho, but that wasn't anything compared to my Hermione."
"Are you sure you're not gay?" Draco asked.
Hermione gasped and said, "He is certainly not gay! He's very good in--" Hermione stopped short of what she was going to say and knew that she just let her own cat out of the bag.
Lavender gasped and said, "And here you were scolding Ronnie and me all the time! Hypocrite!"
"It's just that I didn't want anyone to know. It's not proper!" Hermione said.
"It's called life. Sometimes you need something so you just have to take it," Draco said.
Hermione, wanting to change the subject, said, "So, what about you, Ginny?"
"Who was your first?" Lavender asked her.
"I told you, Harry, but I thought we agreed that that doesn't count as a real kiss," said Ginny.
"No, I mean who was your first..."
Ginny knew what she was getting to and interrupted her. "Oh, well, let's put it this way." She pulled her legs up close to her chest and rested her chin on her knees. "If I can't get a guy to even barely kiss me because of Ron, who in their right mind would take it even further?"
"You mean, you never..." Lavender started, but didn't finish because she saw Ginny shaking her head.
"What about you, Lavender?" Ginny asked, trying to get the subject to turn in the other direction. "Who was your first?"
Lavender looked quickly at Draco and then back at Ginny. "I was always in love with Ron, but it took him so long to notice me."
"Liar," Ron said. "I was most definitely not your first."
Hermione and Ginny moved closer to her and asked, "Who was it?"
"Ladies, ladies, ladies!" Draco exclaimed. "This is not time for girl talk, this is time to be playing truth or dare."
"You know he's right," Lavender said. "It's not fair for me to be saying my truth before it gets to me."
"Come on, Lavender, I just told everyone that I'm not as proper as I'd like to be!" exclaimed Hermione. "So you have to tell us."
"Ladies, don't you think you should lighten up on her?" asked Draco.
Ginny turned around and said, "Looks to me, Draco, that you're trying to help her cover... something... up..." She slowly put the pieces together. "It was you?"
"You!?" Ron said, ready to attack him.
"Ronnie, stop it!" Lavender cried and pulled him back. "If I remember correctly, you broke up with me at the time!"
"You broke up with Lavender?" Hermione asked in a shocked tone.
"That's your first question?" Ron screamed.
"Look, Weasley..." Draco said.
"Don't you 'look Weasley' me, Malfoy!"
"Are you more upset that it was me that was with Lavender, or because I was her first?"
"Look, Ronnie, we were drunk, it was right after Draco came back from getting kicked out of his house..." Lavender began.
Draco looked at Ginny who glared back at him.
Lavender knew before he even told her, Ginny had tears forming in her eyes. Draco looked away when Ron screamed at him again.
Ginny stood up and threw an empty bottle of butter beer at the wall, which almost collided with Draco's head. Everyone stopped talking. If Ginny was aiming for Draco, or if she was trying to get their attention, they did not know.
"Look!" Ginny yelled. "People do stupid things when they're drunk." Ginny walked up to Ron. "If you didn't break up with her, she wouldn't have drunk anything, and she would not have found an equally drunk Malfoy. Right?" she said, looking at Draco. Draco could only nod. "And tell us, *Ronnie*, what was the cause of the break up?"
Ron looked at his feet and said, "I can't remember."
"It was because he told me that he still had unresolved feelings for Hermione and couldn't go out with me until he knew for certain that it was me that he loved," said Lavender.
Ron opened his mouth to say something, but Ginny motioned him to stay quiet and said to Lavender, "Go on?"
"Well, I stole some of Winky's fire whiskey and took it outside with me, not thinking that I would meet up with anyone. But apparently I was wrong." She paused for a moment and said, "Well, Draco was out there sitting near the pond. I was about to turn away when he said, 'It's okay. I don't mind your kind anymore.' I didn't know what he meant by that at the time, but now I understand that because of you, he wasn't going to be mean to us." Tears formed in her eyes, and she continued, "He was drunk, and I knew that he was, but because I was too, I didn't care and just sat down. He asked me what brought me to my drinking, and I told him everything. I asked him what was wrong and he told me of how his father kicked him out and of how..." Lavender looked at Draco and saw him shake his head. "And how... how... he got the disownment mark." Ginny knew that she was skipping over something, but didn't press it. "Well, it was sort of a silent agreement. We both looked at each other and kissed and then well... we were drunk... When we woke up the next morning, he swore that he would never tell Ron, or anyone else for that matter, and I promised the same too." Lavender looked over at Ron and started crying. "I'm sorry, Ronnie, I'm so sorry."
Ron held his crying girlfriend in his arms and kissed her forehead. "I'm the one who should be apologizing for the way I responded to that," he said. "It's as much my fault as it is anyone else's."
Ginny looked sadly at Draco, picked up a few butter beers, and walked out of the room.
