Chapter 5: Disturbing Discoveries

Hermione, Lavender, Parvati, and Ginny were all out of breath from screaming

the Hogwarts song as fast as they could. It didn't help that they would randomly burst out

laughing in the middle. Once each of the girls had caught their breaths, Lavender

straightened up. "Okay, okay, okay! Parvati, I've got a dare for you if you're willing to

take it" she panted. Parvati grinned. "You know I'm up for anything." "Okay, since we

all know you fancy Ron, I dare you to go up into his room and ask him if he's seen your

lime green knickers." Lavender said, her eye's sparkling with laughter. Parvati's

eyebrows shot up. "WHAT?" she shrieked, and tumbled off her bed, her long dark brown

hair getting frazzled.

The room burst out into a fit of giggles again. "You heard her, 'Vati. Come on,

it'll be easier if Ginny goes with you," Hermione said, jerking her head toward where

Ginny was sitting. "Yeah," Ginny agreed, "I'd love to see the look on my brothers face."

Parvati stared at the floor for a while, then got up, nodding. "It would be easier," she said,

her, dark eyes sparkling. Ginny got up quickly and grabbed her hand, pulling Parvati to

the door. "Besides, it would be nice if Ron just got out of the shower and…" but Parvati

didn't get to finish as Ginny stopped dead in her tracks, causing Parvati to crush into her.

Ginny whipped around and stared. "Oh, come on Ginny, Ron is good looking. What, with

Quidditch and all," Lavender said slyly. Ginny looked at Hermione, tapping her foot.

Hermione pursed her lips and said, "Fine! I agree, okay? But that causes me no reason to

want to stare at him all bloody day." "She'd rather stare at Harry," Lavender said under

her breath, causing Hermione to glare at her. Suddenly Ginny spoke up. "Why anyone

would want to see my brother in a towel, I have no damn clue," she said, "Trust me, I've

seen enough of Ron to last me a lifetime," she gagged. Lavender and Hermione broke out

laughing as Parvati blushed and whispered, "I still wouldn't mind." "ENOUGH!" Ginny

shouted, and dragged Parvati with her, slamming the door.

Ginny and Parvati trotted down into the common room and made their way up to

the boys dormitory. When they finally found Ron, Harry, Dean, Seamus, and Neville's

room, they heard loud laughing. "Okay, P, you know what to do!" Ginny smiled, as

Parvati began fiddling with her fingers. "Right," Parvati said, with a determined look on

her face. She took a deep breath and opened the door. "Ron, have you s—" she couldn't

manage to say anything more. The sight in front of her just about made her swallow what

she was about to ask.

Harry, Seamus, and Dean were sprawled out on the ground clutching their sides

laughing, and Neville was burying his face into a pillow. Each boy had tears coming out

of the corner of their eyes. Ron, however, was in a much worse position. He was standing

on a cooshy red stool, wearing a very short skirt with a pink sweater that ended just above

his naval. His hair was in stubby pig tails, and he had bright make-up on. They all

stopped laughing, and (in Rons case) dancing when they caught sight of Parvati and

Ginny standing in the doorway. Ron looked horrified, and the rest of the boys looked

slightly nervous. Ginny walked around a stunned Parvati and said, "What are you

doi…Ron, is that mine?" she asked, gesturing to his clothes. "Uh-I, uhmm…" Ron

stuttered, being both afraid of what Parvati was thinking and what Ginny was going to do

to him. "And where did you get—well, those?" she asked, pointing to his chest, which

was oddly, how should you say, bigger. "Also yours…" Ron gasped. "Oooh, you are so

dead, Ronald Weasley!" she screeched, but with a wicked smile on your face. Before

leaving, Ginny turned to Parvati and said, "Well, you got something better than seeing

Ron in a towel," before walking out the door. Parvati made a small panicked sound

before rushing after her. "Oh, and Ron?" Ginny stated, poking her head back in the room.

"I'll be wanting everything back, but dry-cleaned!" and slammed the door. The boys

looked around, their faces struck with horror and embarrassment. "Tough luck, mate."

Dean said.

As Ginny and Parvati raced back into their room, Hermione asked "So, did you do

your dare? "Oh, dammit!" Parvati yelled, slapping her head. "I forgot!" "How can you

forget a dare?" Lavender practically yelled. "Well…" Parvati started, but Ginny said.

"Oh, we ran into an interesting predicament." And she began telling them the story.

"Well," Hermione said smugly. "Sounds to me as if the guys have been playin' a little

'truth or dare' themselves." The girls looked around at eachother in the room, and they all

broke out into identical wicked grins.

A/N: I finally got the space to work! Thanks to all those who still reviewed even after that little problem:

DaFLOHfrmFRiSCO- Don't worry bout it. I'm doing my best to write as often as possible, but most likely it'll be on weekends, or late at night.

Lady Edelweiss-I guess it just took a few hours for the thing to update. Thanks for the compliment on the story!

Okay, now here's something for you guys—name someone (that I've mentioned in my story) to do a dare, and what dare it is. I think it'd be cool if someone suggestions were in the story. R/R! Thx!
