"Dare."
A sly grin appeared on Harry's face.
"Burn all your revision timetables."
"Are you nuts? I spent a whole week drawing them! How can you even think about giving me such a dare?!"
"Simply, Ginny is not the only one who wants to have fun here," grinned Harry. "I know you would never do such a thing so..."
"...you'll have to take off something," finished Ron. "Good going mate!"
Everything Hermione could say while taking off her sweater was "Boys!!"
"Ginny, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Do you have a boyfriend at the time?"
"Yes."
"Who is he?" Ron asked.
"Not your damn business."
"It IS my business. I'm your brother, remember?"
"Unfortunately you are. But still it's not your damn business so I'm not going to answer you. Now, Ron, truth or dare?"
"Hey, why do you always choose me?"
"To annoy you, dummy. So, truth or dare?"
"Remembering your last dare, I think I'll choose truth."
"Which of the Hogwarts' girls would you want to be your girlfriend? Although we all know that none of them would be willing to," she asked with a smug smile while everyone tried not to laugh very loudly from her last comment.
"Very funny, sis, very funny. I think I'll use your own words. It's not your damn business!" Ron took off his socks and put them next to the shoes.
"Then I should use your words, too. It IS my business. I'm your sister, remember?"
"I'll just pretend I didn't hear that. Sirius, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"If you would know that after a week would come a doomsday, how would you spend the week?"
"Let me think... At first I would do something really horrible to Snape, well at least turn him into a chicken," everyone in the room grinned as though visualizing it, "then I think I would buy everything I could find in Zonko's Joke Shop and have the biggest fun in my life pulling pranks on everyone in Hogsmeade," Sirius made a dreamy face which made everyone laugh. "I would also find Fudge and Malfoy and do something to them. Don't know what yet. And the last thing, I think I would find a nice young girl and marry her."
"You? Marry? Yeah right," Harry laughed.
"What? Is it so unbelievable?"
"Well admit, Sirius, that knowing you it is very hard to believe what you just said."
"It's second time this night that my own godson says that he doesn't believe my words. And you know that I didn't lie about that part where I said I would marry. If had lied this damn box would've set me on fire." Sirius made a triumphant expression.
"I told you that this box is broken," said Ginny.
"Hey is everyone here against me?"
"Yes."
"Great, nobody respects this old man anymore."
"Old man? I don't see anyone old in this room," Hermione turned her head to the sides as though looking for someone.
"And you said that everyone was against me. Hermione takes my part," said Sirius looking delighted.
"Hey, don't palter with words. I just thought that if you are an old man then how should we call Dumbledore? Dodderer?"
"You be careful with such words, young lady. Remember that even walls here have ears."
"You know Sirius, you should have considered in becoming a priest. All these preaches about respect and everything..." said Harry and burst out laughing immediately along with everyone in the room.
"Actually after finishing Hogwarts I tried to join muggle seminary, but they refused to accept me," Sirius told them in serious voice. "Maybe that was because when I was asked why I wanted to become a priest I answered that because I like drinking wine and eating. Or they didn't like the questions which I gave them. Who knows," he shrugged.
"What questions?" Ron managed to ask before cracking into laugh again.
"Well, simple ones, really. And that priest whom I talked to really overreacted. What is so bad asking: 'Will I have to wear that skirt all the time?' or 'Will I have my own room so there won't be any difficulties when I would bring a girl with me?' You know I really thought that all these priests are calm people but you don't imagine what hell started after my questions. I was happy to get out alive from there. And it was all their fault that because I was rushing very much some Filibuster Fireworks 'accidentally' fell from my pocket and exploded in their garden. Poor people started making the signs of the cross. I think they weren't used to seeing red and blue stars bouncing around. Strange people. Hey, what are you all laughing at?" Sirius asked as though he just saw that all the students were rolling on the floor red from laughing.
"You.did.not." was all that Hermione managed to say.
"OK, I confess. I didn't really consider in becoming a priest but everything else was real."
"Then why the hell did you go there?"
"Oh, James bet that I won't dare to get into the garden of seminary and blast there some Filibuster Fireworks. You know, it was kind of illegal to do such thing in front of muggles - they don't have fireworks that make stars bounce around."
"But why did you have to pretend that you wanted to become a priest?"
"It just happened accidentally. I went inside of the garden through the gate and one of those future-priests came to me and started chattering something like 'good choice' 'you will be a good priest' 'it's always nice to get a newbie' and before I cold say anything he led me to the other priest, the head of seminary I think, and introduced me as the newbie. And I decided to have some fun," Sirius grinned from ear to ear.
"And after such stories you want us to believe that you will marry one day? You're too wild to marry, my dear godfather."
"I object," interrupted Hermione, "I think that Sirius MUST marry. That's the only way he can settle down."
"Hey, I don't want to settle down!"
"You'll have to. After marriage there would be no stupid bets or pranks against unsuspecting muggles."
"But..." Sirius made a pleading face.
"No buts, Sirius."
"Merlin," laughed Ginny, "you two sound like engaged couple!"
"Ginny, you gave me an idea! If a man wants to marry what does he need?"
"I know, I know," jumped Ron. "He needs a woman!"
"This means that..." Sirius looked expectantly at the others.
"...you need a woman!" realised Hermione.
"Oh I love this girl! So, Hermione, you wanna marry me?"
