You really are an angel! Thank you!
To Be Young Again
Chapter 9: Truth or Dare
A/N: I have decided to take a little break on To Be Young Again. Well, sort
of. This wouldn't really happen, had I been serious, but it has to do with the
story. You'll see. I had a bad day, so I wanted to write something fun.
This is the result. It has the characters and all, but I just decided to have a
little fun. Enjoy reading!
Sirius: Let's play Truth or Dare!
(Everyone stares at him.)
Sirius: (mumbles) It's
a Muggle game. (Perks up.) But it's really fun!
James: Whatever you say, Padfoot.
Sirius: (calls out) Anyone wanna play Truth or Dare?
Severus: I guess I need SOMETHING interesting and exciting in my life. (he joins the circle at the Marauders table.)
Lily: (turns to Arabella
and Jane) Bella, Jane, wanna try? (Arabella and Jane
shrug. The trio joins the circle.)
Remus: Teach us how to play, Sirius.
Sirius: Okay. One person asks another person "Truth or dare?" If the person
being questioned answers "Truth", then they are asked a personal question which
they must answer. If they answer "Dare", they get dared to do something.
Peter: Gotcha.
Sirius: Okay. I'll go first. (He turns to
Snape.) Snivellus, truth or dare?
Severus: Uh, dare.
Sirius: (evil smirk) I dare you (pause for effect)...to take a bath.
(Gasps around the table.)
Severus: (shudders)
I...I...but...a bath...no...
James: If you refuse, you have to strip.
Severus: (whimpers)But a bath…
mommy, no, please… Okay...(he leaves the room)
Sirius: What a wacko.
Five minutes later...
(Snape comes back to the table with wet hair. He
scowls.)
Severus: I never want to do that again. (shudders)
James: You won't.
Severus: Lily-I mean Evans-truth or dare?
Lily: Umm...dare.
Severus: I dare you...to kiss Potter. (he smirks)
((A/N: I KNOW that Snape would never give James the
satisfaction of kissing his crush if they're mortal enemies, alright?))
James looked like Christmas had come early. Lily looked like Christmas had been
canceled.
Severus: (smugly)
Or strip. Your choice.
Lily grimaced, sighed, and leaned toward James, reluctance written all over her
face. James leaned forward eagerly, and just as their lips brushed, Lily pulled
back.
Lily: Um, yeah. (turns
to Sirius) Black, truth or dare?
Sirius: Dare. I'm a daring person.
Lily: Ok. Um, I'm not any good at this. (Looks around pleadingly) Some help,
please?
Of course James is the first too
volunteer.
James: (leans over and whispers something
in her ear)
Lily: EEEW. Are you sure?
James: Trust me.
Lily: Uh, ok then...Black, I dare you to...eat a rat. (she shudders at
the thought)
Sirius: No problem. (He looks at Peter.)
Peter: What the-? Sirius!
Sirius: Only joking, Peter. (He mutters a
spell and a rat pops up in his hand. He transforms into a dog and eats it.)
Everyone except James, Remus and Peter: EEW!!!
Sirius: (satisfied smirk) Ok, James,
truth or dare?
James: Dare.
Sirius: I dare you to ask...you crush out.
James: (sputters) What?
Oh, I'm gonna kill you, Padfoot...(looks at Lily. She knows what's coming.)
Lily, will you go out with me?
Lily: Uh, I uh, well, um...I'd rather eat a rat!
Sirius: Hey! They're quite filling.
Lily: Urgh!!!
James: (looks crestfallen) Um, Evans?
Truth or dare?
Lily: (sigh) Dare, I suppose.
James: (looks as if he's won a million
Galleons) I dare you to say yes and go out with me.
Lily: Potter, you can't do that!
Remus: Oh, yes he can.
Lily: (grumbles) Oh, fine. (looks angry. Her
face is red.)
James: I'll owl you about it. (winks)
Lily: Grr. Lupin, truth or
dare?
Remus: I'm gonna risk it,
whatever 'it' is. Dare.
Lily: Uh, guys? Help?
Once again, James is more than willing to help. He whispers something in her
ear.
(Lily half smiles at
James.)
Lily: Good one.
(James is amazed.) Lily being nice to me?? I'M IN HEAVEN!
Lily: Lupin, I dare you to go up to the one you fancy
and propose to her.
Remus: But...um...see...JAMES, I'LL KILL YOU!
James: Ooh, I'm scared. Oh, and Remus, you're a
prefect. No killing. (wags
finger at Remus)
Remus: Grr. Well, I don't
have a ring.
Lily: Here's one. (takes
a ring off her finger and hands it to Remus)
Remus walks up too Jane. He goes down on one knee.
Remus: Jane? Will-you-marry-me?
Jane: Me? Yes, I will! How did you know?
Remus: Uh, what? (apparently very astounded that Jane likes him too.)
Jane: Oh, never mind.
They lean closer to each other ((A/N: Don't worry Amy!)), and then-
Peter: Uh, guys? Snogging session. Outside.
Remus and Jane give him dirty looks and walk outside
of the Great Hall.
A/N: OK, so it wasn't all that
great, but at least this way James and Lily have a date, right? He he Don't forget to review! Luvya all!
Much love,
OutofAzkaban
