A/N: This has to be my favorite chapter i have ever written. Nothing is funner(is that a word?) than a risky game of truth or dare. I will post a lot of chapters tommorow since i will be gone for while. I am having a minor surgery so i dont know when i will be on the computer.
Chapter 7
Truth, Dare, Kiss, or Promise
Recap: The groups played their games for over an hour before they called it quits.
Lily thought of a new game to play. "Why don't we play a game of truth, dare, kiss or promise?"
"Truth, dare, kiss or promise? I've never played that version before." Remus said.
"Well it's just like truth or dare, except with kiss and promise as an option for in regular truth or dare kisses always end up being the dare." Anna told her new boyfriend.
"Let me go get my truth or dare cup. It's in the cupboard over there." James stated and got up and got what looked like a regular cup.
"What's that for?" Lily asked.
"Everyone puts there wand in, to show you are in the game so if you lie the cup turns red. When you tell the truth its green and when you tell a half truth it turns purple." Sirius explained. "Everyone in?" he asked placing his wand in the cup. One by one the group each placed their wand in.
"I will start. Anna, Truth, Dare, Kiss or promise?" Lily asked.
"Umm…. Kiss." Anna said with a mischievous grin.
"You have to kiss…. James's toe." Lily announced and the whole room gave "eww"s
"James's feet aren't the prettiest smelling, or looking for that matter." Sirius stated as James took off his sock. Sirius was right about the smell it was the worst case of sweat sock foot EVER.
Anna cringed and kissed the toe. "Lily Evans, you are gonna pay for that one. Hmm… Sirius truth, dare, kiss or promise?"
"Truth."
"YOU WIMP!" James hollered.
"Yeah it's kind of cowardly. Anyways, truth…. Ah… Did you love any of the girls you have slept with?" Anna asked knowing that Sirius was quite the player.
"Love…. No. Liked… yes." Sirius answered and the cup on the table turned green. "So Remus, truth, dare, kiss or promise?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to… AH HA! I dare you to go into the bathroom, take off your clothes and streak around the room." Sirius dared. Remus turned a dark shade of red.
"Any chickens?" Remus asked nervously.
"Nope or I wouldn't have kissed that filthy toe." Anna said hoping Remus would take the challenge.
"Ok…" Remus went into the bathroom and came out in his birthday suit. He did a quick lap around the game room as the girls blushed and tried to look away and the guys doubled over in laughter. He ran quickly back into the bathroom and put his clothes on. "That was the most embarrassing thing you can make a guy do when he's with his new girl. Ok, Lily, truth, dare, kiss, or promise?"
"Truth" Lily said hoping it had nothing to do with James. Luck was against her today and Remus asked his question.
"Why did you decide to be friends with James?"
Lily took a deep breath, Anna and Leah gasped. What to do, what to do. Well I can't lie, or tell a partial truth… I don't have much of a choice. "I did it because I thought he had changed." She lied and the cup turned purple.
"That's not the whole truth Lily." James stated. If that wasn't it why would she? She hated me. What could possibly make her want to be friends?
"I think that this was a bogus question." Leah covered before Lily could answer again.
"Well it was asked so she has to answer." Sirius stated, knowing the real reason.
"Ok, here's the truth. It's because I caught myself day-dreaming about him in the middle of the summer holidays. I had a daydream about what he was doing yesterday. Is the cup happy now?" The cup turned green with purple spots. "What does that mean?"
"It means that you answered the question correctly but there is more that you aren't telling us." James answered. She daydreamed, ABOUT ME! This is great! She must like me why else would she. No I am getting ahead of myself. She just thought about me because we were around each other so much and wondered what I was doing. I wish I could hold her in my arms that would be pure heaven.
"So I don't have to say anything else?" Lily asked much relived. The group nodded. Good I don't have to tell James that I have gained a crush on him. His ego would double if he knew. I wonder how he would get out a door. "Leah, truth, dare, kiss or promise?"
"Kiss."
"Can I mix a little truth to this dare? Would the cup still know it was the truth?" Lily asked. James nodded. "I want you to kiss the guy that you like the most. On the lips." Sirius gasped hoping it was him. Leah walked up to him and kissed him quickly on the lips. Anna and Lily squealed in delight. Sirius looked dumfounded.
"Ok done. James, Truth, dare, kiss or promise?"
"Umm… dare. They can't get worse then streaking…"
"Ok." Leah said and turned to her friends. "What can we make him do?" she whispered. "I know, make him confess his love for Lucius Malfoy. They live across the road."
"I want you to go across the street and knock on the Malfoy's door. Ask for Lucius and confess your undying love for him."
"That's a pretty good dare. I will need a witness to go with me. Lily since you and I aren't the greatest friends I can't beg you to lie." James said and walked out the door. Lily followed quickly behind. The other friends ran to the front parlor to watch. Lily and James walked out of the manor gates and across the road to the Malfoy's estate.
"I don't believe you are actually doing this." Lily told him.
"Well I don't have much choice. The cup will turn red if I don't do it."
"You have a point. I am not used to playing with a cup that tells all." Lily said as they approach the large doors. James knocked 2 times and a house elf appeared.
"Dobby needs to know who Mister wants." The house elf said.
"I wish to speak to Master Lucius." James said. Lily had hidden herself in the bush.
"Dobby will fetch the young master." A minute later a blonde young man appeared in the doorway. Lily put the silencio charm on herself so Malfoy couldn't hear what was going to be her giggles.
"What do you want Potter? A cup of milk for your brownies?"
"No. I am here to say that I love you. I love everything about you. I need you like Romeo needs Juliet. Be my Juliet, Lucius. Without the dieing of course. I just wanted to tell you that I have passionate love for you. That's all." James said seriously like he actually meant it. Lucius eyed him over and was quite shocked.
"Always knew there was something rather queer about you Potter, but I for one don't swing that way." He said and shut the door in James's face. Lily performed the counter curse and hugged James.
"I don't believe you did that! You sounded so convincing!" She said at a near scream.
"Let's get out of here before Malfoy opens the door." Wow its great having her in my arms even if it was only a moment. James said and they headed back. The group was waiting nervously for their arrival.
"Did you do it Prongs?" Sirius asked.
"Yep. Malfoy told me he always knew there was something queer about me but he doesn't swing that way. Darn. I was hoping we could live together and adopt queer babies." James said, making the group laugh. "I think that is the end of our little game seeing as it's late and we are de-gnoming tomorrow."
