Chapter Two: Truth or Dare
"What is up with that outfit?" Hermione said in disgust, looking at a pair of neon pink shorts and a matching top. She and Ginny were shopping in a department store in London.
"Ugh, you're right," Ginny replied. "Who would ever wear that?"
Hermione shrugged and turned away. This was her and Ginny's first shopping trip. Hermione had wandered up and down the streets, but had not seen anything that interested her. Ginny, however, would stop in squeals of excitement every time they passed a window.
"Hey Ginny," Hermione said. "Do you want to head home now?"
"But you didn't even buy anything yet!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Yeah, I know, but I'm tired and everything. We'll come back tomorrow, I promise."
"Oh, all right," Ginny said in an exasperated voice, "but tomorrow I am gonna pick out clothes and you are gonna get them!"
"Okay," Hermione said while rolling her eyes, "tomorrow you get to dress me."
Hermione and Ginny headed back to the Burrow. When they got there, Ginny deposited her new clothing in her room and she and Hermione went down stairs to see what the family was up to. Upon entering the living room, Ginny realized that she had left the carrots her mother had asked for in her room and rushed back up the stairs.
Hermione walked into the living room. Harry and Ron were playing chess, Mr. Weasley was writing a report for his work, Fred and George were experimenting with a new item for their joke shop, and Mrs. Weasley was sitting in a chair looking very tired. "Oh hello, Hermione, dear," Mrs. Weasley said. "Back so soon? And where is Ginny?"
"She's upstairs getting the carrots you ordered. And we are back so soon because we were tired," Hermione replied, sinking slowly into the nearest seat. "Where are Bill and Charlie?"
"Oh, they had to take care of some business for the Order. They will be back soon," Mrs. Weasly said. Just then Ginny came strolling into the room.
"Hi Mom!" she said. "I got your carrots."
"Yes, Hermione told me," Mrs. Weasley said. "So, are you girls hungry?"
"Yeah," replied Hermione. "Can we help you fix dinner?"
"Oh, no," said Mrs. Weasley. "Arthur and I have decided that tonight we are going to celebrate the arrival of you and Harry, so we are going to eat out at the Leaky Cauldron."
"Shall we leave then?" asked Mr. Weasly. "Time to get cracking."
The family put away whatever it was that they were doing and gathered in front of the fireplace.
"George and Fred, you two first," said Mrs. Weasley. Fred and George each grabbed a handful of Floo powder and set foot into the fireplace.
"The Leaky Cauldron," they said together. They whooshed out of sight. Soon all of them had disappeared into the flames.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When they returned home, Ginny and Hermione went upstairs to the bedroom they were sharing. Ginny opened the window to let in a draft. She turned around and faced Hermione.
"Do you want to play Truth or Dare?" she asked hopefully.
"Sure, why not," came the reply from Hermione.
"Great, I'll go get Harry and Ron," Ginny said.
"Why do we need the boys to play Truth or Dare?" Hermione said.
"Because, silly, two person Truth or Dare isn't very exciting! And besides. You HAVE to have guys when playing Truth or Dare, it's like a rule or something!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Whatever," replied Hermione. "I'll set up some cushions on the floor."
Ginny left the room grinning. She had an idea for a dare that would make everyone freak. And she was going to enjoy every minute of it.
When Ginny returned with the boys, Hermione had the room set up with cushions, soda, and a blindfold, just in case. Ginny, Ron, and Harry plopped down on the floor and Hermione followed suit.
"I'll go first," said Hermione. "Ginny, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Oh, come on," said Harry, "Truth? On the first turn?"
"I'll do dare later, I promise," Ginny retorted.
"Have you ever been kissed on the mouth?" Hermione said.
"Um, no," Ginny said blushing.
"Yeah I thought so," said Hermione.
"Yeah well, it's my turn!" said Ginny. She decided not to do her big one 'til later in the night. "Ron, truth or dare?"
"Dare," Ron said.
"Um, oh, what should I do? Okay I have it. Sing the name of every girl you have ever liked while dancing up and down and acting like a monkey," Ginny said with an evil grin on her face. She glanced at Hermione whose face was impassive.
Ron did so, and a few of them were rather shocking. Like, for instance, Pansy Parkinson, Lavender Brown, Cho Chang, and Eloise Midgen. Hermione laughed silently to herself. The way it sounded, most of the girls Ron had liked were the ones that wore so little on top that he had seen most of their body.
Ron sat down, blushing furiously. "Hermione, truth or dare?"
"Um, truth," Hermione said, rather scared of what he would ask her.
"Given the chance, would you EVER go out with Malfoy?"
"EEEWWW!!!!!!! Gross! HECK NO! Never, no way, uh-uh," Hermione couldn't think of any words that were drastic enough to describe what she was feeling.
"Well, why not?" asked Ginny. "He is really quite hot! Whenever he is really mean to me or whatever, I just picture him without his shirt on and it's all better!"
"Gross," Hermione said, shuddering slightly. "Harry, truth or dare?"
"Dare," said Harry with a malicious grin on his face.
"Okay, by your expression you asked for it. I dare you to kiss Ginny on the mouth for ten seconds," Hermione said, with an evil cackle.
"You owe me one for this, Hermione!" said Ginny. Harry leaned over to her and they kissed, for exactly ten seconds. They broke off not one millisecond after the time was up.
"Ron, truth or dare?" Harry asked.
"Um, I did a dare last time, truth," Ron said.
"Okay, have you ever considered kissing Hermione?" said Harry.
"Uh, yeah, loads of times," Ron said, embarrassed. "Harry, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Have you ever kissed a girl on any part of her body except her mouth, cheek, forehead, or hand?" Ron asked as payback.
"Um, yeah, once I kissed a girl on her neck and shoulders," Harry said, his cheeks bright red.
"And who would that be?" Ron asked.
"Hey, that isn't part of the question, and you know the Truth or Dare rules, you can't go back and ask more of the same question on the next turn!" Harry said.
Hermione was quiet. Harry had kissed her on the neck and shoulders when they were going out the year before. He had called it her 17th birthday present.
"Okay, Ginny, truth or dare," Harry said.
"Dare!"
"Okay, I dare you to change into a bikini, model for us, and not change back until we're done playing," Harry said with a glint in his eye.
Hermione rolled her eyes. That had been why she had dumped Harry in the first place, because he liked looking at girls in less than modest clothing.
"Okay, whatever," Ginny said. 'She would love nothing more than show off her body for Harry,' Hermione thought, 'she's even willing to risk her mother seeing her.'
Ginny returned minutes later in a bikini, black with blue balls of flame on each breast. Hermione noticed that it was one of her more skimpy bathing suits.
"Okay," said Ginny after turning around a few times and dropping to the floor. 'It's time,' she thought. 'Time to do the big one.' "Hermione, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I have decided that this dare will be the last. Hermione, I dare you to make out with Harry for at least five minutes. And when I mean make out, I don't just mean kiss, I mean tongue, hands, the works."
Hermione stared. Make out with her second best friend? Her ex-boyfriend none the less? "Okay, but time us, the second five minutes is up, I want to know," Hermione said weakly.
She stood up and walked over to Harry, who stood up also. She placed her hands on his shoulders and he put his on her waist. They leaned in and their mouths connected. 'Oh, this is so gross,' Hermione thought, 'Okay, just pretend he's someone else.' Her mind cast around for a guy she would rather kiss.
Ginny called time. Hermione fell away and realized something that scared her more than kissing Harry. She had found a guy to pretend she was kissing. Only subconsciously, mind you, she didn't actually realize that she was pretending to kiss him. But he had made kissing Harry almost not terrible. She actually enjoyed kissing Harry while pretending it was him.
With a shock she realized that the whole time she had been kissing Harry, she had actually been kissing Draco Malfoy.

Hey peeps! Yeah, I know, really bad chapter, and I hope none of my friends make me do any of THAT in truth or dare, but I had to find someway to introduce the idea of her liking Draco. Please review!!!!!!!! I like constructive criticism, so anybody that wants to flame me, go ahead!
