A/N- I think I'll do this chapter full of Truth or Dare, and then I'll get
back to the regularness part of the story. Does that work? Sorry about the
end of the chapter, I know it's not great, but oh well. The next chapter
will be coming soon! R/R!
"You're right," Harry said to Ginny, and he looked around the room, wondering who to dare. Like almost everyone else, his first choice people to dare had already been chosen. So he had to think really hard.
Luckily for him, being friends with the smartest girl at Hogwarts was finally going to pay off. If there was one thing being friends with Hermione had taught him, it was that there was a way to do anything. And he was sure that Truth or Dare was no exception.
"Alright. Alicia, Truth or Dare?" Harry asked the pretty Chaser. She smiled at him, pretty happy to have been chosen. Mostly because that would mean she would get to dare someone else, but getting Truth or Dared herself wouldn't be so bad. After all, it was only Harry.
"I'll take Truth," Alicia said, playing on the safe side, just in case. Harry nodded that he had heard. Then he went to work thinking of a dare. He knew anyone in the room probably could have given him a good idea. Most of them were more creative than him anyway. But he wanted to think of one on his own, even if it was stupid.
Which of course, it was. "Alicia, who do you think is the hottest guy at Hogwarts? And you can't lie," Harry asked, knowing it wasn't a great question. Not that he cared. All that he really cared about was that he had kissed Ginny. And it had been great.
Alicia wasn't really surprised. She had figured Harry would ask her this sort of question; that's why she had picked Truth. In her opinion, it wasn't that hard of a question. "That would have to be George Weasley," Alicia said happily.
George grinned at her, looking very excited. He knew that Alicia liked him and everything, but to be thought of as the hottest guy at Hogwarts? That was crazy. Most girls would have said Oliver Wood or Draco Malfoy, or maybe even Harry. But Alicia had said him. He could have kissed her.
Actually, he did kiss her. As soon as she had gotten the words out of her mouth, George pulled her into a long snog. They broke apart a minute later, Alicia blushing and George looking even happier than before.
They both just sat there for a second; then George remembered that it was Alicia's turn to Dare someone. He whispered that to her, and she giggled as his lips brushed her ear. "Um-Angelina, Truth or Dare?" Alicia asked, grinning mischievously at her.
Angelina raised her eyebrows. "Dare," she said, hoping Alicia wouldn't give her something too embarrassing. But dating one of the two biggest pranksters of the current Hogwarts generation had taught Alicia a few things.
"I Dare you to propose to Fred," Alicia said lightly, winking at Fred. Angelina's mouth dropped open. That was definitely the type of thing that Fred or George would have suggested. Obviously, George had rubbed off on Alicia.
But it didn't bother Angelina all that much. She could have fun with this. First, she grabbed Fred's hand and led him to the middle of the circle, where everyone could see them. Fred came willingly. He knew he was going to enjoy this.
"Fred," Angelina said melodramatically, "There's something I've been meaning to ask you." She sounded like she was right out of a soap opera, and she looked it too as she batted her eyelashes at him. "But Angelina," Fred said, as if he was completely clueless, "I already did my homework, I swear!"
Angelina shook her head as if she couldn't believe him. "No Fred. That's not what I have to ask you," she said in a husky voice. Fred pretended to be confused for a second. Then a look of false comprehension dawned on his face. "Angelina, if this is about Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes again, I already told you-"
Angelina put a finger to his lips, and batted her eyes again. "No Fred. This isn't about Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes. This is much more important. It's about our future," she said theatrically.
Fred's eyes widened believably. "Our- our future?" he asked, feigning shock. Angelina nodded, making herself blush. "Yes," she said, getting down on one knee, and taking Fred's hand in hers, "Fred? My love? Will you marry me?"
Fred's mouth dropped open. He was doing a very good job of pretending to be shocked. So good, in fact, that he forgot to answer. "Fred, you didn't answer me," Angelina continued, after being prodded by Alicia.
Fred thought. He wanted to make it funny. He had his reputation to uphold here. "Oh. Sorry Ang!" he said, grinning, "Well let me see. I'd love to marry you. But only on the condition that Alicia and George can come and live with us, and we can have a mulberry bush and a puppy and three goldfish. Oh and also a tree house-and a bed with fluffy pillows! And-"
Everyone laughed. "You've got it," Angelina sniggered, and she stood up and snogged him. "On second thought," Fred said slowly, as if he was contemplating a brilliant idea, "If you'll snog me like that every day, then screw the rest of that stuff!" And with that, Angelina and Fred sat back down with Alicia and George.
"That was so great, Angelina. And you too, Fred," Alicia said, grinning, "And Ang, it's your turn to Dare someone." Angelina thought hard. When she didn't come up with an idea after a while, Alicia let out a squeal. "Oh! Angelina, come 'ere, I've got a great idea!"
After whispering it to her, both girls burst out laughing. It was the perfect idea to give Fred and George a taste of what being on the other end of a prank felt like. Not meanly, of course, because they wouldn't want them any other way. But still, this would be hilarious.
"Truth or Dare, Fred?" Angelina asked, grinning playfully. Fred tried to decipher the look on her face. After a second, he realized it was exactly the same look he got right before he played a prank or something to that effect. "Er-Dare?" he suggested hopefully.
"Fred," Angelina said innocently, "I know we just got engaged and all, but I'm going to have to ask you to cheat on me just this once. I Dare you to confess your love for George-without laughing!"
Fred looked surprised. He had to admit, that was a great Dare. He almost wished that he had thought of it. George too looked shocked. But he was already laughing. Fred led George into the circle, just like Angelina had led him. They stood facing each other. It was like looking into a mirror.
"Fred," Fred said, addressing George. George laughed again, glad that *he* was allowed to. "Actually, I'm George. *You're* Fred," he said, sniggering. Fred grinned, but didn't laugh. "My mistake. George, I really need to tell you something," he said, batting his eyelashes like Angelina had.
George faked being puzzled. "Hmm. Whatever do you have to tell me, Fred?" he asked, snickering. Fred took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down so that he wouldn't burst out laughing.
"Well, the thing is, George, I don't know quite how to say it," he said, blinking. "Just say it Fred! It's not that hard!" Angelina called, smirking slightly. Fred winked at Angelina. He would have laughed, but of course he wasn't allowed to.
"Alright George. Well you see, what it is, is that-I'm in love!" Fred said sensationally. George looked him straight in the eye and grinned. "Really Fred? That's great! With who!?" he asked, sniggering.
"You!" Fred exclaimed, and he threw his arms around George's neck and hugged him. Everyone else in the room clapped. Angelina and Alicia clapped the loudest. But they weren't done.
"Aw Fred, that's so sweet!" George laughed after Fred had released him, "But I already gave my heart away!" Fred pretended to look hurt. "But George, who could you love more than me?" he asked, mock-sadly.
Alicia stood up. "Is it me, George?" she asked, smiling. George looked over at her. "No, it's Professor Snape!" he said sarcastically. Then he hopped over to her and gave her a kiss.
Fred looked after the two of them, faking a glare. Angelina walked over to him, grabbed his hand, and pulled him over to where they were sitting. "It's okay Fred, *I* still love you!" she said, flashing him a smile. Fred laughed. "I feel *much* better now!" he grinned, giving her a hug.
Then Sirius spoke up. "Fred, didn't you ask the first question?" he asked, remembering back to the very beginning of their Truth or Dare game when Fred had asked Oliver about Katie. Fred had to think a little bit before he remembered.
"Oh yeah! I did!" he said, smirking as he remembered his question. "Does that mean the game is over?" Hermione asked, thinking back to the few times she had played Truth or Dare at sleepover parties when she was little.
Sirius nodded. "Yup, that's what it means!" he said. "Noo!!!!!!!!!!!!" Fred said, pretending to cry, "How can this be?!" Lucius spoke up at this. "Trust me Weasley, it can be, and it will be. And good riddance!" he said, still irritated about his failed revenge on Sirius.
"Anyway," Sirius continued, "It's been fun! I'm sure I'll see you all later tonight! But right now, I gotta jam! Parvati, Remmie, you up for something?" Parvati nodded and stood up with Sirius, and Lupin dragged an unwilling Cissa over to the two of them. "See ya!" Sirius grinned, and he and his 'group' walked out of the portrait hole.
After the four of them had left, everyone else started trickling out too. No one really had much of an agenda, but they were all planning to continue making this dance the best they could.
"You're right," Harry said to Ginny, and he looked around the room, wondering who to dare. Like almost everyone else, his first choice people to dare had already been chosen. So he had to think really hard.
