Summary: Draco, Harry, Hermione, Lavender, Ron, and Ginny are playing Truth or Dare, but it comes out more of a story telling game. Will they become friends? Will Draco be part of the "dream team"? And what's that on Draco's arm? It's not the Death Eater mark, maybe it is, but maybe it's something totally different.

Author's note: Okay, I know there are like a million of these out there. Okay, well last time I checked there was 75. But anyways, there are a lot out there, so this is my make of Truth or Dare.

Ginny thought about it and said, "Dare me, Lavender!"

"Oh goodie!" Lavender said, smiling and rubbing her hands together. "I dare you to kiss Draco."

Draco widened his eyes a little, but then realized that Ginny would never do this, so he relaxed until he heard Ginny say, "Sure. I mean it's not that hard."

"On the lips," Lavender clarified. Ginny only shrugged. "Seductively." Draco shot up in his seat when he heard this.

Ginny sighed and mumbled, "Fine."

Ginny got up from her seat on the couch and walked over to where Draco was sitting in the comfy chair.

Ginny smiled as she thought that she was finally going to be able to kiss Draco, something she'd wanted to do for years. She didn't care what he thought of the whole deal, but she was going to kiss him and he was going to like it, no matter what.

She placed her hands on Draco's thighs so that as she kneeled to the floor she wouldn't fall over and embarrass herself even more. She slid her hands under Draco's legs and pulled him forward so he was slouching in his seat and she was positioned between his parted legs. She placed her hands on his knees and slowly brushed them up his legs. She let her hands slip to the inner part of his thighs, but when she heard him gasp, she placed them once again on top. She allowed her thumbs to lightly roll over the zipper of his pants, and Draco bit his lip hard to keep a moan from escaping his mouth. As Ginny's hands roamed around his chest freely, Draco closed his eyes and allowed himself to enjoy the sensation that Ginny enticed him with. Ginny wrapped her hands around his neck and brought them slowly into his hair, as she leaned down and nipped at his Adam's apple. At this point he let out a groan, and he didn't care if she heard him enjoying this or not. Ginny looked at him and realized that she was actually going to be able to kiss him. He never stopped her, never pushed her away.

Ginny was getting closer and closer to her destination when Draco finally realized what was going on. This was his best friend. Of course he wanted to kiss her, but not because of some dare and especially not in front of her brother. Why hadn't he pushed her away or stopped her? Because he was enjoying himself too much, that's why. As he saw Ginny coming closer to him, he did the only thing that he could do--he turned his head.

As Ginny got closer, she started to close her eyes, but she realized that she wasn't kissing his lips. She opened her eyes and thought that she missed, but saw that he had turned his head.

"Uh, you know, Ginny, you don't have to do this. It's only some stupid dare," Draco said matter-of-factly.

Ginny took her hands off of Draco and said, "Yeah, just some stupid dare." Great. First she found out about him and Lavender, then he pushed her out of the way so he could save Lavender, and now he wouldn't kiss her, probably because of Lavender. Ginny was slowly putting the pieces together. "I get it," she whispered softly so that no one could hear her.

Draco heard her though. "Ginny..." he started, but she put a hand out to stop him.

"It's okay. I understand." She reached behind her and used the coffee table to help her get up. "It's just some *stupid* dare. I did always hate this game, always getting the stupid dares out of the bunch. Well, I think I've had enough for one day. Good night all." She didn't wait for a response from anyone. She turned and left the common room, heading towards her bedroom as quickly as possible so no one could see the tears fall from her eyes.

Lavender knew that this was her fault and was about to go after Ginny when a hand grabbed her arm to stop her. It was Draco. "Let me go," he said, but before he could go he felt someone place a hand on his back. He turned around and was surprised to see Ron there.

"You know, Malfoy," he said, "you aren't really that bad."

"Thanks, Weasley. You know, considering what you learned tonight, I'd never imagine you saying this. This is very big of you."

"Yeah, well, that's the past and I have to be grateful for the present. Besides, I know that it's not Lavender you have feelings for."

Draco's eyes widened a bit and smelled Ron's breath. His eyes widened even more. "How much did you drink, Weasley?" he asked.

"Nothing!"

"How much?"

"Okay, maybe just a little bit."

"Yeah, well, Ronnie ol' boy, thanks for the... well... the interesting night," Draco said and followed Ginny.
