Note: Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing is in this chapter .:cuddles with Duo plushie:.

Note2: Draco is very conflicted in what he feels toward Usagi. That's greatly shown in his actions.. He doesn't know whether to continously be cruel, or give in to the kindness that she radiates and deserves in return. He's very torn and as a result, often indulges in both ends of the spectrum on high scales..

Chapter Nine

Spinning Bottles, Dangerous Kisses...

Draco approached the sleeping blonde's bed slowly. "Rise and shine, darling," he sing-songed mockingly. The rise and fall of Usagi's chest continued at its slow, sleep-induced pace. He shook her shoulder gently, but she merely mumbled and swayed with the motion. Trying to keep the slow smirk from spreading across his lips, he carefully swung his leg over her side and straddled her waist, evenly balancing out the weight between his legs that rested on either side of her. The additional weight should have been enough to wake her up, but she remained fast asleep.

"Usaagi," he cooed softly. Upon still receiving no conscious response, he slowly pressed his mouth to her slightly parted lips, knowing she'd need to wake up sometime from the lack of air. He held back a victorious chuckle as she subconsciously reciprocated to the kiss, her arms coming to wrap loosely around his back to pull him down against her closer.

Usagi opened her eyes languidly upon waking up from the beautiful dream. Finding it becoming increasingly difficult to breathe, she realized all too late things were quite real. Her eyes snapping wide open, she grasped his shoulders quickly and pushed him away, gasping slightly.

"Good morning," he murmured. "Sleep well?"

Usagi struggled to sit up a little beneath him. Realizing it was to no avail, she rolled her lips lightly to keep the choice angry phrases toward him that balanced upon her tongue from coming out. "Can you get up, please?" she asked quietly.

"Hmm..." Draco shifted against her, hearing her quick intake of breath as he crossed his arms and placed them folded against her chest. "You didn't answer my question," he replied disapprovingly.

Her eyes beginning to roll heavenward with exasperation, she closed them briefly before letting a plastered smile settle upon her lips. "I slept wonderfully, Master Draco. I thank you kindly for your asking."

Draco raised a pale eyebrow, a frown briefly marring his lips before replacing with an equally pretentious smile. "Wonderful. I trust you'll get ready with haste. The guests will be arriving in an hour or two." His smile broadened upon seeing her eyes widen slightly.

"So soon?" she whispered. She wanted nothing more than to closed her eyes again and simlpy sleep for the remaining ten days of her stay.

"Not quite soon. It's already almost 12 in the afternoon, dearest Gryffindor. You sleep quite soundly. I always wondered of your constant tardiness to classes, but with how you sleep I can say now I'm not surprised." He finally rose from his place on top of her, smoothing out the creases of his buttoned-up black shirt. "Lunch is waiting for you on the table. You'll need your strength for today. I also took the liberty of going through your clothes and picking out which lovely outfit for you to wear today. It's waiting for you in the bathroom for after your shower. Tata, Usagi." With a final smile and a mock blowing of a kiss, he left her room.

Usagi sighed as she finally got out of the bed, stretching away the last traces of tiredness. She truly wished today would pass by quickly, but something deep down told her this would be one of the most dreadful days she had yet to endure under the Malfoy residency.

She proceded into the bathroom, expecting the worst as far as what she was meant to wear today. To her blessed relief, the french maid outfit was not her required outfit. Instead, a plain black skirt pleated with red silk lay folded beneath a matching black shirt, simple and V-necked. Usagi was rather surprised yet pleased with the ouftit, relieved it was not excessively trashy or degrating. Perhaps today wouldn't be so bad...

x-x-x-

"T-the morning paper for M-Master Draco," stammered Dobby, holding out the rolled paper with shaky hands. Draco glanced at him for a moment, smiling pleasantly.

"Good morning Dobby," he said conversationally.

Dobby's large eyes widened impossibly. "G-good morning to the Master Draco," he replied in a squeak, the trembling of his arm increasing.

"Ah yes, I have a feeling it will be a lovely day... You see," he began, sitting up more in his chair, "Usagi..." He watched as the house elf's eyes softened upon hearing her name, "...and I are going to be spending some time with my friends today..But she is not very fond of my friends, I'm afriad. I'm hoping to change her mindset against them, hmm? Usagi can be so very lovely, but sometimes she's most disobedient towards me... I do not like defiance. Nor do I like when one accomplices her in such defiance against me," he finished icily, his eyes narrowing with disgust at the trembling elf.

Dobby shifted upon his feet, stretching his arm out a little more. "T-the paper Master D-Draco," he croaked nervously. Draco grabbed the paper from him and set it down upon the table. "I-Is there anything else the Master will be needing from Dobby today?"

Draco smirked slightly. "No. I wish for you to stay out of my sight the entire day and not interrupt any such activities that you may hear. Understood?"

Dobby nodded quickly, not having to be told twice. "Y-yes sir, of course, most certainly, Dobby would never dream of interrupting the Master Draco..."

"Dobby!"

The trembling house elf turned around, his fearful eyes melting into twin, sparkling orbs of glowing happiness. "Good morning Miss Usagi," he greeted breathlessly, rushing over toward her. As he prepared to throw his arms around her legs in an embracing 'hug', Draco's icy voice halted him.

"Don't touch her. We have company coming today, I'd rather you not lay your dirty hands upon her."

Usagi looked up at Draco, tilting her head. Sighing, she merely patted Dobby upon the top of his head. "Don't worry," she murmured to him as he brought his hands to his face, his eyes saddened as he pondered if they were dirty or not.

"Dobby is most sorry," he apologized in a whisper, slinking away with disappointment.

Usagi narrowed her eyes at Draco, wanting so very desperately to yell at him for making her friend feel bad, but the challenging smirk upon his face melted the words away. He wanted her to speak against him, she saw bitterly. He wanted a reason to act cruelly towards her. She would not give in to his cruel desires, she vowed.

"I apologize for waking up so late.. or rather, having to be woken up so late," she said breezily, letting a smile settle upon her lips like a familiar facade of a mask.

His smirk faded slightly, almost disappointed she didn't rise to challenge him. He took in her appearence, pleased with how she looked. Her long hair was free of its ridiculous buns, hanging freely down the length of her back. The outfit she wore was most form-fitting, not to mention the skirt stopped rather adequately above her knees.

"No worries," he replied coolly, gesturing toward the plate of food on the table. "Eat. They will be arriving shortly."

Usagi took a seat cautiously next to him, but he had begun to read the newspaper for any interesting stories. She ate her sandwich slowly, enjoying the taste and trying to not let her nervousness override her usual appetite. She nearly jumped out of her seat upon hearing the door bell ring. He chuckled slightly at her reaction, setting down the newspaper and clasping her tensed shoulder lightly. "Finish up, dearest. Come into the living room when you're done."

Usagi found it most difficult to swallow the food, fighting against the lump of fear in her throat. She did so, however, and raised the drink Draco had placed upon the table for her to her lips. She drank it slowly but deeply, savoring the refreshingly sweet flavor of the liquid, allowing it to calm her nerves just slightly. Rising from her seat slowly, she took a deep breath and proceded into the living room.

x-x-x-

Usagi faltered slightly upon seeing so many people. She thought perhaps she would get lucky and only have to endure two or three...

But the eight other bodies that occupied the room was not the most delightful of surprises. It was somewhat of a relief, however, that they were not all males. Pansy and two other girls she did not know were amidst the group of people. One of the girls had long, flowing black hair and deep violet eyes. She was rather pretty, Usagi had to admit. The girl standing next to her had long blonde hair, styled with a large red bow.

She continued to survey the people in the room. Talking to Draco was Marcus Flint of the Quidditch Team.. he was not the most pleasant of looking people. Two other males stook with them whom Usagi did not know. One had long, chestnut brown hair, styled uniquely in a long braid. His eyes were kind and warm, his entire persona radiating a friendly kindness. The other male had jet black hair, short and face-framing. On the couch sat Crabbe and Goyle, deep in conversation.

"Usagi," Draco greeted pleasantly, his calling of her name drawing all eyes to her.

A whistle sounded softly from the male with the long braid. "Woah, what a babe.. you sure did score bigtime with this little deal Draco man," he commented appreciatively.

Draco rolled his eyes, shaking his head. "Why the Sorting Hat placed you in Slytherin, I'll never know, Maxwell," he commented with a sigh.

Duo Maxwell smirked slightly. "Maaybe because I'm such a powerful wizard and I could totally kick your ass..."

Draco snorted. "Hah. Doubt it."

"Wanna find out?"

"No."

"Cause you're scared!"

"Of course, that's the only logical explanation."

Usagi watched the bantering conversation between the two, more shocked than anything. Draco seemed so...amiable. It was startling.

As the two continued 'arguing', the two girls Usagi did not know approached her. "Hey," the one with black hair said curtly.

"Hello," Usagi replied, toying with the end of her skirt nervously.

"Rei Hino," she introduced, inclining her head slightly.

"Usagi Tsukino. Nice to meet you," she said softly.

Rei smirked. "Don't be so sure." She walked back to take a seat upon the couch, leaving her alone with the other. She looked a great deal like Usagi with the blonde hair, but most prominently her blue eyes reflected kindness.

"Sorry, Rei can be rather mean sometimes," she apologized on her friend's behalf. "The name's Minako Aino," she greeted, bowing slightly out of habit.

Usagi tilted her head slightly. "You're from Slytherin?" she asked incredulously.

Minako chuckled. "No.. I'm from Hufflepuff, but Rei and I became really good friends. She's very good friends with Malfoy and dragged me along to this little get-together. I heard about you having to be his slave and all, but I never really found out why.. just heard it was very powerful blackmail or something. Either way..." She turned to see if anyone was paying attention to them, before turning back to Usagi. "I'm sorry," she murmured quietly.

Usagi shook her head. "No worries," she said, shaking her head. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad afterall.. His friends really didn't seem too cruel. She looked around the room, her heart clenching painfully as she saw Crabbe, immersed in a conversation with Goyle. Her eyes softened as she saw him smile, a small smile gracing her own lips.

"Well, let's get this party started," Duo exclaimed loudly. "I'm totally up for a good game of Truth or Dare...Ooh, or maybe 'Spin the Bottle'.."

Usagi gulped, but Minako gave her a reassuring smile.

" 'Spin the Bottle?' " Draco questioned. "I have never heard of this game."

Duo's eyes widened incredibly, and even Usagi couldn't help saying allowed, "Are you serious?"

Draco turned to her sharply, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, and you have?" he asked.

Usagi nodded fully. "Of course! Who hasn't? It's a silly party game... I've never personally played..."

Duo continued to gape. "So Malfoy doesn't know WHAT it is, and Usagi's never played.. Man, we are so overdue for a game."

Pansy wrinkled her pug-like nose. "It's a childish game," she said with a sneer. The thought of possibly seeing her Draco kiss anyone besides her was frightful.

Marcus Flint raised an eyebrow. "I don't know," he mused. "It could be rather interesting.." He surveyed the area. "We have four females, and six males.. That's fairly even."

"What does the number of male or females matter?" Draco asked, annoyed that he still did not know the basis of the game.

Duo smiled wickedly. "Weelll," he drawled. "All of us sit in a circle, with a bottle in the middle. Whoever's turn it is, that person spins the bottle and whoever it lands on..." His eyes gleamed slightly, "that is the person you have to kiss. If it lands on a member of the same sex, you can re-spin... Unless you're into that sort of thing." Seeing Draco give him a look of disgust, he continued. "Then! It's there turn to spin and so on and so forth.."

Draco's eyebrow raised further. "You're right Pansy, it IS a stupid game." Pansy couldn't help but beam with pride upon Draco agreeing with her.

The last male in the room who Usagi did not know spoke up. "Perhaps it is a little childish," he agreed. "But still... for experience's sake." His eyes flickered to Usagi. "The poor girl here has never played, and neither have you Malfoy! It's one of those things you have to do for the sake of saying 'I've done it', ya know?"

Usagi studied this male curiously. His dark eyes were almost kind in appearence, his smile gentle.

Draco snorted. "I suppose you're right, Chiba," he replied with a hint of sarcasm.

Rei giggled slightly. "Mamo-chan is always right," she cooed. Mamoru smiled slightly, though a hint of disgust tinged in his eyes.

"Is your little wench off limits?" Goyle spoke up curiously, looking over Usagi.

Draco almost immediately said 'Yes'... wanted very desperately to not have anyone else touch or kiss her. He rolled his lips lightly, gazing at the scared blonde. Plastering a smile, he shrugged. "I suppose I can't be 'that' selfish as to not allow her to indulge in this lovely little game, hmm?"

Crabbe chortled at this. "Oh, excellent," he muttered, gazing at Usagi with delight.

Duo returned from the kitchen with a slender bottle. Pulling out his wand, he tapped it lightly, placing a spell upon it. "The bottle will not land on a member of the same sex, to cut down the time of re-spins," he explained.

They pushed the couches away slightly to clear the area on the floor, allowing more room for a circle. They all sat down one by one, in the clockwise circling order of Minako, Marcus, Pansy, Mamoru, Rei, Crabbe, Goyle, Draco, and Usagi. Duo placed the bottle in the middle of the circle, before taking settling down between Usagi and Minako, closing the circle. "Well," he began with a grin. "Who'd like to start?"

"I will," Pansy declared haughtily, scooting to the middle of the circle and placing her chubby fingers upon the bottle. Saying a small mental prayer, she spun the bottle and retreated back to her spot.

Round and round the bottle circled, a blur as it spun upon the floor. Her heart rose with uncontained glee as the neck of the bottle finally rested on Draco... before it shifted at its slow, spinning pace and finaly froze on Crabbe. "Ugh," they both said in unison.

Draco glanced at Usagi with a small smirk as she let out a sigh of relief, relieved for some reason that it had not landed upon him.

"Come on darling," Crabbe cooed with a sneer, puckering his lips. Pansy's face wrinkled up with disgust. Nonetheless, she eased her way over to him. Grasping his cheeks in her pudgy hands, she planted a kiss full on his lips, sloppy and wet-sounding. Usagi cringed, finding nothing romantic or appealing about this action. Crabbe reciprocated to the kiss however, his mouth working slightly beneath hers. She pulled away after several long moments, grinnning just slightly. "Fabulous," he muttered, wiping his lips.

Duo whistled approvingly, causing Pansy to shoot him a nasty glare.

Pansy retreated back to her spot. Prior to the game starting, Duo had placed a fizzy drink behind all of them for after each kiss to clear away the taste and not gross out the next person they had to kiss. The two both took long sips of the liquid, before Crabbe trudged into the middle and quickly spun the bottle. He watched in anticipation as its pace began to slow down. The neck of the bottle took a long, slow paced final spin..

It landed on Rei.

Rei raised an eyebrow as Crabbe approached her, settling in front of her with a wicked grin. "Your great dream of me kissing you is finally coming true, Rei," he sneered.

Rei scoffed. "You mean that horrid nightmare I had? Oh, joy.." Her mockery died down as his lips closed fast upon hers, a crushing kiss with an underlying tenderness that she couldn't help but respond to. Her eyes drifted shut as she responded to the kiss, knowing more than a few seconds had past. Small 'oohs' were heard from Marcus, Goyle, and Duo as the kiss continued heatedly. After several long, drawn out moments, the two finally separated for the need of air. "Not so bad," she whispered breathlessly.

Crabbe merely smirked as he retreated back to his spot.

"I demand all further kisses to be like that!" Duo exclaimed with a small applauding clap. Mamoru snickered at this, shaking his head.

Rei scooted into the middle after taking a sip of her drink, spinning the bottle and retreating.

"Woot!" Duo cheered as the bottle's neck pointed to him. Rei shrugged slightly as she settled in front of the braided teen, placing her hand on the nape of his neck and pulling his face to hers. The kiss was rather rough, Duo thought as he reciprocated, seeing right away Rei was the kind of girl that liked to be in control of things. Not at all his style, but it was the nature of the game. He was almost grateful when she finally pulled away, not finding as much enjoyment out of her kiss as he had hoped. "Fun stuff," he murmured however, smiling at her. She giggled slightly and went back to her spot in the circle. Taking a long swig of his drink, Duo clasped his hands together happily before proceding to the middle. Spinning the bottle, he watched its slow pace settle languidly upon one of the two blondes...

Usagi.

He watched as her cheeks darkened with color, her eyes widening slightly. So cute, he thought with amusement. He chanced a glance at Draco, and could almost feel the anger directed toward him. Possessive, was he? Too bad for this game!

Duo smiled lazily as he approached Usagi, trying to ignore the piercing glare of the blond sitting next to her. Settling in a kneeling position in front of her, he let his smile grow gentle and reassuring. "Ready?" he murmured.

Usagi refused to look at Draco, already feeling his anger toward this sudden turn of events. She let her head nod slightly, closing her eyes. "Relax," she heard Duo whisper quietly, close enough already that his breath tingled softly against her lips.

It took all of Draco's willpower to not act on his current anger. No one else should be kissing her, he thought obsessively, no one.

Usagi sighed softly as she received a kiss from only the second person in her life, feeling his mouth work slowly and caressingly upon her own before deepening it. His ministrations were gentle and almost loving, definitely not what she expected from any Slytherin. Hardly realizing her actions, she let her hand settle warmly upon his cheek, responding to the kiss with hesitant curiosity.

It felt blissful, Duo couldn't help but think, wanting badly to deepen things further. He knew which lines not to cross, however... and this was definitely one of them. He pulled away finally, taking in her flushed appearence, her lips slightly parted. He smiled languidly as he rose with regret, retreating back to his spot.

Usagi opened her eyes, a small smile settling upon her lips. "Your turn, Usagi," Draco spoke icily after several long moments. Usagi tensed slightly, looking at him finally. A light smile rested in his face, holding little warmth, further offset by the burning anger in his eyes. Usagi trembled slightly as she took a sip of her fizzy liquid, feeling it tingle warmly as she swallowed slowly.

Inching her way to the middle, she slowly placed her hand upon the bottle. She felt her heart quicken slightly as it began to spin, quickly retreating back to her spot. She was not all too eager to see whom it would land on. She knew whoever spun the bottle had to be the one to initiate the kiss, and that was something she was not very good at doing. She was only beginning to learn how to do this with...

Draco.

She gulped slightly as the bottle's slim neck pointed judgementally at him. Pansy scowled darkly. Seeing Usagi's more than evident hesitation, a small hope filled her. "Usagi," she began sweetly, "if you really don't wanna do this I'll take this turn for you," she offered all too eagerly.

"No." Draco's silky voice was quiet but firm, the anger in his eyes dying down to curious expectation as he waited for Usagi to act. Pansy sulked angrily at Draco denying her, very unhappy indeed.

Usagi knew she could not procrastinate long, seeing all of the anticipating eyes settle upon her making her rather uncomfortable. Already sitting next to Draco, she scooted in front of him, kneeling carefully. Her eyes were lowered as she looked at her hands that rested against her legs for distraction. Slowly, she raised her gaze to his face, trying not to cringe away at the intense look of his cold eyes. She placed her hand cautiously against his neck, taking a small, shaky breath as she finally pressed her lips against his.

He did not reply to the kiss, merely letting her lips rest soft and trembling upon his mouth. His eyes stayed locked with hers however, daring her to pull away or break the entrancing stare. After another moment of no response from him, she did begin to pull away. But it was then that he acted.

The others gaped a little as Draco's hands came swift and grasping upon either side of her waist, drawing her up from her kneeling position and pulling her close, forcing her to settle upon his lap in a straddling manner. As he pulled her against him, his mouth pressed hard to her own, her small gasp allowing him to further the kiss quickly. There was nothing gentle about any of his actions, the exact startling opposite to Duo's kiss. His teeth clashed against her own as he pressed painfully close, gripping her waist and rocking her against him slowly.

Usagi moaned slightly as she brought her hands to grasp his shoulders, trying to pull away slightly to ease the pain of the kiss. He refused to allow this however, his teeth grazing against her lower lip, biting against the soft flesh lightly before delving into her mouth with his tongue forcefully. His hands continued to rock her whimpering form against him, his mouth working rhythmically with the movement.

"Draco," she managed to gasp out against his harsh lips. "Gomen nasai," she murmured desperately..

Rei, Minako, and Mamoru, being of the Japanese origin, understood these words. 'I'm sorry.'

Draco hesitated a moment, feeling her salty tears slide between his lips. He was becoming far too familiar with the taste of her tears, with causing her so much sadness. He eased the pressure against her mouth, letting the kiss turn meltingly soft. Usagi trembled as he licked the sensitive skin of her bruised lower lip. His hands slid from graspig her waist harsly to wrapping carefully around her back, still pulling her close but gently doing so. She moaned as his mouth slid from her lips to her neck, kissing a wet trail up to her earlobe. "As am I," he breathed out, though only she could hear.

He understood her.. An apology..? She thought dimly, dizzying waves of pleasing compensation tingling through her as his gentle kisses seemed almost rewarding for the moment...rewarding her for dealing with him and putting up with his conflicting emotions, praising her for being who she was and enduring this.. or perhaps it was merely in her mind.

His arms moved from around her back, his hand grasping her cheek in the same manner she had first did. He merely looked at her, looked at her pale, shaking features. Her eyes were slightly glazed, her lips darkened in color and somewhat swollen. Her breath came out ragged and trembling, her entire demeanor radiating uncertainty. He pressed a feathery soft kiss to her lips then, letting his eyes drift shut as she responded slowly. She sighed a little, wishing dearly she didn't have to deal with his cruelty to unmask his kindness.

She pulled away when she felt any remaining anger toward her drain away, his entire body relaxed with comfort at her closeness. She rose carefully from her position, smoothing out the short skirt before sitting back down next to him, keeping her eyes lowered to the floor as the others looked on with a wide range of emotions.

Crabbe and Goyle had lust shining in their eyes, entranced and delighted with the actions of their leader. Minako looked saddened for Usagi, her eyes shimmering with sympathy. Pansy was gawking with an unmasked jealousy, wishing desperately it could have been her in that position. Rei seemed a bit confused as to what she should feel, and settled for the most comfortable option of attempting indifference. Mamoru and Marcus both looked rather intrigued, surprised that Draco would act in such a way. Duo looked somewhere entangled between jealousy toward Draco, lust toward Usagi, and overall confusion. "Well," Duo said uneasily. "I think I need a cold shower after that one," he tried to quipped.

Unfortunately, there was a bit of truth to that statement. "You and me both," muttered Crabbe and Goyle in unison.

"Oh honestly, it wasn't that erotic," Pansy barked with a scowl.

"The hell it wasn't," Mamoru murmured, shaking his head. Rei eyed him with a slight frown.

Usagi kept her head lowered, relaxing slightly as she felt Draco's hand rest on top of her own on the floor. His fingers briefly entertwined with hers, squeezing her hand softly as if to offer comfort. He pulled away before anyone could see this said action, rising abruptly. "I tire of this game," he stated. "I wish to move on to the next."

Minako sulked slightly. "But.. I didn't get a turn," she said with a small sniffle. Marcus, who also hadn't gone yet, turned from his position next to her and grasped her chin. Smiling wickedly, he kissed her fully on the lips. Minako's eyes widened, as she realized how true that little saying went. 'Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it!'

Goyle snickered softly at Marcus' action. "What game are we gonna play next?" he asked eagerly.

"If there was an even number of guys and gals we could so turn this into a make-out party," Duo said with a wistful sigh. "Hmm... Maybe Truth or Dare next?"

Usagi groaned slightly, causing Crabbe to glance over at her. "Aww," he cooed mockingly. "Draco's wench doesn't seem to happy with that idea."

"Well, Draco's wench doesn't have much of a choice at some matters," Pansy said scornfully.

"Stop calling me that," Usagi said with annoyance. "I'm not his wench."

Pansy's pug-like face contorted with a scowl. "Draco! How are you going to let your wench speak out against me?"

Draco shrugged his shoulders slightly. "She's not my wench," he replied in agreeance. Usagi sighed with relief. "She's my slave." Her face faulted as she smacked her forehead, shaking her head.

"Oh same difference I'm sure," Pansy muttered with disgust.

"Ooh, is that jealousy rearing its ugly head, hmm?" Minako teased.

Pansy snorted loudly. "Jealous? Of her? HAH!"

Usagi couldn't resist. She stood from her seated position, smiling cutely. "Oh, but I think you are jealous of me," she said softly. Draco watched with a raised eyebrow as she approached him, her eyes glimmering slightly. "I think I wouldn't mind a nice little game of truth or dare," she said sweetly, that plastered smile of obedience settling upon her lips. He frowned upon seeing this, although he wasn't quite sure why it bothered him.

"Now that's my kinda girl!" Duo cheered approvingly. Pulling out his wand, he walked over to each person and tapped the top of their heads, murmuring a quick spell. "It's a truth-spell," he announced with a proud smile. "Each person will be compelled to answer any questioned they are asked, as well as compelled to tell the complete and whole truth, unable to lie for the duration of this game." He tapped his own head with the wand, before putting it away. "Shall we begin?"
