Story Talk: I don't remember if I told you this last time or not. But just in case I didn't, I have already figured out an ending. The thing is you may not like it. I refuse to change the ending. However I will write a sequel if you really want it. Just keep in mind as you are deciding that I love my ending and really don't want a sequel but I do have a few ideas for one if you really want it.

Authoress ramble: I recently got a live journal. Slowly but surely I am getting internet literate. You should check it out and leave me lots of comments. I will give cookies.

Chapter Three

The Dare

I really didn't know what to think. What he said was . . . I don't know. I confirmed a few suspicions that I had been having. Draco had change a lot since fifth year. I don't know why, but once he came back he was . . . not nice, bu t not mean either. I shocked me at first then Ron told me of his discovery. I thought that might have been it. Only now I realize that it couldn't have had anything to do with it. Ron couldn't have found out Draco was gay until after we got on the train and Draco hadn't been remotely rude when I saw him before I boarded the train.

I thought that if anything he would have been mad at me for what happened last year. Really it wasn't even my fault. It was Ginny's.

FLASHBACK

"Wow you guys the place looks great." I said when I walked into the common room. It really did look good. Parvati, Lavender, and Ginny had done an excellent job.

"It does, doesn't it." Ginny said admiring her work.

"You're finished a bit early though, aren't you?" Ron asked. He had followed me down from the dorm. We were trying to sneak out before the party. Neither of us wanted to go. But of course they had to be here.

"Well we thought we could play a game of truth of dare." Ginny said. Parvati and Lavender began to giggle. I looked at them curiously, but soon my attention was diverted by a thumping sound coming from a cupboard. Ginny quickly ran over to it. She opened it only enough to stick her wand in and muttered a 'stuptify'

"What was that?" I asked. Lavender and Parvati looked at each other with wide eyes, but Ginny calmly answered.

"This first years' cat. I swear the thing is insane."

"Oh."

"So how about that game?"

After much debating the three girls finally got Ron and me to agree to play. Actually they more forced us to, but we ended up playing nonetheless. Nothing had really happened so far. Ginny admitted to dating Blaise, which sent Ron into a ten minute long rant. And Ron had to kiss Parvati, but otherwise it was really boring. Then Ginny's turn came.

"Harry. Truth or Dare?"

"Dare." I answered. Immediately I knew I would regret it. The look in Ginny's eyes was just scary.

"I dare you to try to seduce Malfoy tonight at the party."

"WHAT!" Ron and I yelled in unison. Ginny smiled at us as Lavender and Parvati began to giggle once again.

"To bad Ron decided on no chickens. What was it you said Ron, 'We're men we don't need chickens.'" she mocked making her voice deep. "Yep I believe that was it."

"I . . . er . . . Sorry Harry." I was sending death glares at him by now, praying that one would be a killing glare.

"I guess you better get sexy Harry. Malfoy will be a hard one to catch."

"Hey I didn't decide on no chickens, it shouldn't count!" I exclaimed. I really didn't want to seduce him. No, I didn't like him, but I was gay and Malfoy was undeniably attractive. No matter how big of a jerk he was.

"What if I was to say that if you do this and are successful I will make a polyjuice potion. You can go home with Ron and I will go to your aunt and uncles." I eyed Ginny. If she would really do it, the embarrassment would be a fair price to pay. I would get to spend my whole summer with Ron.

"And if I don't win?"

"Nothing. You have nothing to lose."

"Except my head if Malfoy gets to pissed."

"I think you'll be okay Harry."

"Fine it's a deal."

END FLASHBACK

I don't know why I agreed, but now I am glad I did. Especially if my suspicions are correct.
