Disclaimer: The only thing in this story of my own invention is the plot (but not the previous plot of the first five Harry Potter books). I own nothing else.
Author's Note: I know this chapter is going to be very short, but I'll try to make up for it with future chapters! Just to let you know, at the current time I am in the middle of writing chapter 4. I am planning on having about 8 or 9 chapters, but I'm getting new ideas along the way! Thanks everyone for reviewing—you are so nice! I was expecting at least some bad reviews!
"So, Fred," inquired George as he hung up the "closed" sign in the shop. "What color do you think these... Truth or Dare cookies ought to be?"
"Magenta is one of my favorites, but I think that for marketing purposes we should disguise them as ordinary assorted cookies."
"But why? I say magenta's a fine color..."
"Well I suppose it'd be easiest to trick people if the cookies didn't stand out."
"True, true," answered George, pausing in deep thought. "But how should the person go about doing their truth or dare?"
"Hmm... That could be a problem. They can't just go blurting out their deepest, darkest secrets, or they'd suspect something—"
"And they can't just, say, go running around in their underwear without wondering why exactly they're doing it."
"They've got to work it into a conversation they're having... No conversation, no effect—"
"Or delayed effect."
"Right. Now let's say someone's got to run around in their underwear because they ate a cookie. They would bring up the topic of underwear and wait until it was appropriate—"
"As appropriate as it could be."
"Right. So it'd still be funny, but they wouldn't suspect the cookies!"
"Then how long do you think they'll take to develop?"
"I'd say 'bout two months... at the earliest."
"And then we'll have to test them—"
"George! I've got a brilliant idea! You know how Mum always bakes those delicious Christmas cookies for everyone?"
"Yeah..."
"D'you think we could—"
"Sneak them into a batch or two? I'm up for it, yeah!"
So thus a plot was born.
Author's Note: I hope you are enjoying it so far! Keep the reviews coming!
Next Chapter: Back to Hogwarts and the famous trio.
