AN: First off, I would like to give a huge round of thanks so flipping much to all that reviewed! :D I was amazed that I received so many wonderful reviews and beamed like an idiot for a day. Thank you and let's continue that fad of rave reviews, shall we?
As for the formatting on the last chapter where it seemed that Harry was talking solely for about five lines, I have no idea what happened there. Evil formatting trying to thwart me.
Now for some not-so-shameful-advertising: I have several other fics, one a Ron/Hermione (title is Undeserving?), which are a little shy on the reviews if you catch my drift. ;)
Ahem. And now back to the fic because I know you don't want to read my ramblings and advertisements. ;)
Hermione, you can go next considering you're new to the game and all.
All right. What's the last food we left off on?
Escargot.
Okay. That's simple. Tomato.
Already said it, Hermione. I do believe I told you this game took many wits? ;)
Ron, I remember that statement very clearly, thanks. Erm ... tofu.
My turn?
Yeah.
Er ... sure about that?
Yes, very sure. Completely and totally sure, Harry. I am confident that it's your turn, mate.
Positive, Ron?
100%.
Ron, I was the one who said escargot, making it your turn.
Erm ... are you sure?
That would make it your turn, Ron. I'm sure.
Oh, okay then.
Wait ... you believe Hermione but you don't believe me when I tell you it's your turn?
Er ... well ... yes?
Sorry Harry.
Mutiny. Best mate mutiny.
Oh, Harry, stop it. It's your turn.
It's YOUR turn, Ron!
Damn. It was worth a shot.
Ron, don't swear.
Yeah, yeah, sorry.
...
Do you plan on answering any time soon?
In a minute! Give a man time to think! What food starts with a bloody u anyway???
I believe that's your job to figure out, Ronald.
And don't glare at me like that.
...
Come on, Ron.
Nothing bloody starts with u! Nothing! Er ... umberries.
That's not a food.
Yes, it is! It's a ... newly discovered berry! Don't look at me like that, both of you! It's a food!
Ron, it's not a food.
You two try to think up something that starts with u then.
Er...
Umberries it is then.
Right.
Your turn, Harry.
Strawberries.
Closely related to umberries, those are.
Sugar quills.
I love those.
I know, Ron. I was the one who bought you that one from Hogsmeade when you ran out of money.
Oh, yeah, thanks for that.
Did you ever even eat it? I don't remember seeing you...
Yeah, neither do I ... wait, you have a sugar quill sitting on your bedside table, don't you?
Er ... yeah, I do.
The one I purchased for you?
Erm ... yeah.
Why didn't you eat it?
Well ... I'm kind of saving it ... for a special occasion, you know.
What do you mean?
Well ... I dunno, I'm just saving it. It's a special quill.
Because Hermione gave it to you?
Er ... well ... kind of. Yeah. It was nice of her and everything.
Well ... all right then.
Amazing. I've never seen Ron not devour any food in his grasp.
Oh, shut up, Harry.
It's your turn, Ron.
Oh, right. Soup.
Pretzel.
Lemon.
Nut.
Tea.
Apple.
...
Are you all getting a bit bored of this?
Yeah. Kind of.
I am a little.
Want to play another game instead?
All right then.
Sure. What do you suggest?
Erm. I dunno, actually.
Well ... I know of one game. I haven't played it in ages though.
What is it?
Erm ... Truth.
What's that?
Well, it's mostly played at girl's slumber parties. Not many boys know of it, I think.
How do you play?
It's really simple. It starts by one person asking a question to another person, something about himself or herself. A simple question to ask would be, what's your favorite colour? Then the person the question was asked to must answer.
What's the rules?
Well, there's only one rule really, and that's that you have to tell the absolute truth.
How do you win?
Ron, the game isn't about winning. Typical male. The point of Truth is finding out information about your friends, things you didn't know. It's supposed to strengthen your bond with your friends.
Still, how do you win?
Ron, you're impossible. You win if the other people refuse to answer their question.
That sounds easy. Hardly witty, challenging, or complex.
It can get fairly brutal; of course I've only played it once.
When was that?
When Parvati started it in the girls dormitory in fourth year. Well ... I didn't play it exactly.
What did you do, then?
I finished my reading of Hogwarts, A History, for the fifth time.
So Hermione, the girl who would never break any rule if she could help it, eavesdropped on the girls game?
I was hardly eavesdropping. It's not my fault they screeched their every answer and collapsed into giggle fits every other second.
Didn't they ask you to play with them?
Well, yes, but they were hardly asking any thought provoking questions. They were all things like, which Ravenclaw boy do you think is the most good looking and if you could go out with anyone in Hogwarts, who would it be?
I wasn't, by any chance, mentioned was I?
I don't remember, Ron.
Just asking.
Well, do you lot want to start the game now?
Might as well.
I, Ron Weasley, hereby announce that the game is on!
To Be Continued ...
