After a slightly painful five minutes break in which everyone could go and
get refreshments, and in which Severus had hit Quirrell hard on the head
and stolen his rubber bouncy ball, everyone regrouped in the hall.
"I believe it is my turn." Dumbledore said happily.
"Yes, I believe it is. Unfortunately for the rest of us." Severus mumbled.
"Ok... Minerva, truth or dare?"
"Dare." Minerva answered. Albus grinned evilly.
"I dare you to kiss Severus." He sniggered. Minerva looked horrified. Snape looked up.
"Feck off!" He snarled. "I'd rather open-mouth kiss a horse!"
"That could be arranged." Quirrell said offhandedly. Minerva reluctantly moved towards Snape, before pausing suddenly.
"Do I really have to do this?" She asked. Dumbledore nodded.
"Curses on you, Albus, you wanker!" Severus hissed. Dumbledore frowned.
"Severus, there are young impressionable minds here. Do not use that sort of language, please."
While Severus stared at Dumbledore with his mouth open, Minerva quickly kissed him and then gagged, drinking down the beer on the table in front of her as though it was a poison antidote. Severus looked horrified.
"I feel so...violated!" He complained, before taking a bite out of a soap bar to try and cleanse his mouth.
Harry laughed.
"Ye gods, Minerva, why did you have to use tongues?"
Minerva blushed.
"Sorry about that, Severus, I got carried away."
"Too damn right." Severus mumbled.
At that moment, the doors to the great hall burst open and three men walked in. One of them bounded ahead and yelled
"Hello, you gorgeous creatures! How are you, you happy people, you!"
It was a bit like a bouncy version of a hyperactive ferret, whoever it was.
The other two were a bit more calm and collected, showing themselves as Remus Lupin and Sirius Black.
"Hey, guys, we went round to the pub to get beer and we found this Muggle and he's good fun. I think you'll get on good with him." Sirius explained.
"Can you tell us his name?" Dumbledore asked nicely.
"Well, actually, he's pissed off his face and we haven't really been able to get much sense out of him but apparently, from what we can gather, his name is Graham Norton-lorton-norton-lorton-thing."
"Ok then."
"So, what niceties are going on here?" Remus asked.
"We are playing Truth or Dare, also known as Let's Torture Snape!" Severus said, not without anger. Sirius nodded and sat down.
"Sounds like a great game to me. Who's turn is it?"
"Mine." Said Minerva sadly. "Sirius, truth or dare?"
"Truth for me, I have no idea what kind of dares you people have so I want to stay safe for the moment."
"Ok, what is your most embarrassing secret?" Minerva asked. Sirius blushed.
"I have fleas." He said dejectedly. Everyone laughed. Sirius was surprisingly quick at getting over the humiliation.
"Are we doing double dare and that?" He asked. Albus nodded.
"Ok, Rem, truth, dare, double dare, triple dare, promise to repeat or rainbow?" He asked. Lupin blinked.
"Come again?"
"Truth, dare, double dare, triple dare, promise to repeat or rainbow?"
"Erm... promise to repeat, I guess."
"Ok, you have to repeat this. 'When I get back to the cave I will go down to the pub and buy Sirius and Graham Norton-lorton-thing as many drinks as they like.'" Sirius grinned.
"I hate you, I really do." Remus sighed.
"You have to repeat." Harry said.
"Fine. When I get back to the cave I will go down to the pub and buy Sirius and Graham Norton-lorton-thing as many drinks as they like."
"Very good. Now you may go."
"Hang on."
Remus grabbed the Muggle and dunked his head into a conveniently placed barrel of water. The man surfaced, coughing, and Remus dunked his head twice more to sober him up.
"Ok, that's better, Graham, truth or dare?"
"Truth." Said the muggle.
"Ok, no lies, who are you? Really?"
"Graham Norton -" began the Muggle.
"Oh, not Norton-lorton-norton-lorton-thing, then?" Ron asked.
"No. Graham Norton, Irish, Comedian, 40, happy in life, single, gay."
"Ok, one more question." Remus asked. "Do you do drugs?"
"No, but I am an alcoholic." Came Graham's reply.
"Really?"
"No."
"Then why did you say it?"
"Because I can. Now, my turn. Scowly looking black haired man over there, truth or dare?" Norton asked happily.
"Who, me?" Severus asked.
"Yeah."
"Truth."
"Ok, what was your favorite song when you were younger?"
Severus flushed bright red.
"The spider one that goes 'There's a spider in the bath, a spider in the bath, I know he's only there because he wants to have a laugh!' I can't remember the rest."
Everyone giggled insanely and Severus silently vowed to have a serious 'word' with the muggle after the game.
