The four girls were sitting in the common room, in Gryffindor tower.
Hermione was studying, Ron and Harry were playing wizards chess, while
Danie was counting.
"100,101,102,103, 104,10-" Danie was interrupted by Heather.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Counting the ceiling tiles. Oh great, you made me lose count. Now I have to star all over again! One, two."
"This is ridiculous!" Said Heather.
"You're telling me! I'm trying to go over my history again for tomorrow!" Said Hermione.
"Oh yah!" Heather said smacking her forehead. "You're coming with us tomorrow! Uncle - I mean - Professor Dumbledore said you could."
"But what about the school work?" Asked Hermione.
"You need a break." Heather decided for her.
"Hey, lucky!" Came Ron and Harry's voices from the fireplace.
Danie turned to them. "Well, do YOU want to spend the day with Snape?"
"Um, never mind." Said Ron.
"Let's DO something!" said Heather.
"We could go find a grand piano and tap dance on it." Suggested Danie, earning her several strange looks from the people around her.
"How about not!" Heather said "What about Truth, Dare or Kiss & Tell?"
"Umm.." Hermione said.
"Uh," Ron said, glanced at Hermione then said, "Okay."
"Well, it's better than losing to Ron at chess." Said Harry.
"Danie, how about you? Danie? Daaannniiieee!" Heather said.
"Huh, what? Oh. Sure. What am I doing?"
"Truth, Dare or Kiss & Tell." Replied Heather.
"What's the Kiss and Tell part about?" asked Hermione.
"Well if you don't tell the truth, or you don't do the dare, you have to kiss a guy, or a girl, of the person who dared you's choice. Does that make sense?" replied Heather.
"Sure, okay I guess." Said Hermione, glancing at Ron quickly. "How about Lisa and Ginny? Are they playing?"
****
Ten minutes later, almost all of the fifth and sixth years in Gryffindor house were sitting in a circle, getting ready to play Truth, Dare or Kiss & Tell.
"Alright. Who's going to kick it off?" asked Heather.
"Well it was your idea, why don't you?" said Lisa.
"Okay, Ron! Truth or Dare?"
"Um, Dare." Replied Ron.
"I dare you, to go down to Snape's office, knock on his door, and run away."
"No way! Do you want Gryffindor to lose more points from him? You guys already lost enough!"
"So you won't do the dare?"
"No."
"Kiss Hermione then."
"WHAT" shouted Hermione and everyone started to laugh.
"Do it Ron!" shouted Heather over the laughter!
"Kiss her! Kiss her!" everyone began to chant.
"Fine!" Ron said, turned to Hermione, leaned forward, hesitated for a second and then kissed her. But instead of stopping as planned, they lingered quite a bit longer.
"Awwww!" All the girls in the room broke into a chorus of high-pitched squeals. They broke apart.
"Uh, sorry." Said Ron.
Hermione leaned forward and whispered to him. "That's okay, I didn't really mind."
"Someone clean out the closet!" said Danie, who was sitting right next to the two and could hear Hermione.
"Danielle!" said Ron suddenly. "I dare you to go and ask a really stupid question of Snape!"
Danie made it look like she was thinking about it for a second. "Okay!" she said brightly. "Everyone, follow me! Single file please!"
"What? I'm not going to Snape's office just before curfew!" said Lavender.
"Fine." Said Heather. "Danie, me, Lisa, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Dean. You guys come. You can be confirmation."
Everyone that Heather named agreed, Neville with a bit of persuasion, and before they knew it, they were walking right past McGonagall in the hall.
"Where are you going?" she called.
"Where no student has willingly gone before!" Came Danie's reply.
"I'm not going willingly." Squeaked Neville.
"Don't worry! He doesn't bite! Hard." she assured Neville.
Danie stopped in front of Snape's office in the dungeon, and knocked on the door. The door swung open and Snape stood looking down on all of them.
"Do 'real' wizards wear boxers or briefs?" Asked Danie.
Snape looked at Danie, at the crowd behind her, crossed his arms and stared at her.
"You're not going to answer are you?"
"No." he said, sounding really annoyed. "If you have a real question to ask me, do it now or go away."
"You're not going to take any house points?" asked Ron.
"What would I take them for, stupidity?" he asked.
Within a second Danie had thrown herself at him, knocking him to the ground and sat there on his chest, smiling down at him.
"Why do I get the feeling that I should've seen that coming?" He asked her.
"Because you should know me better than you do." She replied.
Snape sighed. "Now get off me."
"Whatcha gonna give me if I do?"
"I don't know. What do you want?"
"A pony. On second thought, an answer. Why do I have an urge to rip out everyone's throat and drink their blood?"
Everyone backed away from the two on the floor.
Snape sighed again. "Can I just give you a blood sucker and tell you later?"
"No, both now."
"God, you're exactly like your mother." He said.
"You knew her mother?" Harry asked.
"Very well." Danie said to him.
"You're squishing me!" Snape said.
"Tell me!" Danie replied.
"Fine, you're three quarters vampire! Happy? The blood suckers are in a jar on my desk. Now get off of me!"
Danie stood up. "Can I have a pony now?"
"No."
"A dog?"
"No."
"A bird?"
"No."
"A fluffy white kitty?"
"Definitely not."
"A bat?"
"We'll see."
"A vampire bat?"
"Fine"
"A piggy back ride?"
"Eleanor Danielle Snape!" Snape shouted.
"Oops." She said. "Too far?"
"Yes!"
"Should I go now?"
"Only if you want to."
"Um, see you later!"
Danie ran out of the room, with everyone scrambling to catch up.
"I'd appreciate it if you don't mention that to anyone." She said once they were out of the dungeons.
"Which part? The tackling, the vampire or the fact that you're SNAPE'S DAUGHTER?" asked Hermione.
"Um, the last two."
"How are we going to explain the part about not losing any house points?" asked Heather.
"I guess I'd better come clean. But let's keep the vampire part to ourselves, okay?"
Everyone nodded, and Neville began to whimper.
"Don't worry, I won't eat you."
**** "Did she do it?"
"How many points did we lose?"
"What did she ask him?"
The group was bombarded with questions the second they climbed through the entrance.
"Yes I did, we didn't lose any house points because he couldn't figure out what to take them for, and I asked him if 'real' wizards wore boxers or briefs." Danielle said.
"Cool!" said Parvati.
"Alright! My turn! Seamus! Truth or dare?"
"100,101,102,103, 104,10-" Danie was interrupted by Heather.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Counting the ceiling tiles. Oh great, you made me lose count. Now I have to star all over again! One, two."
