A/N - thanks for the review again, starfiregirl! hoping to see other reviews from: jedimasterevan or evilwitch111 or any of the other 65 hits I've recieved! (I check my 'Stats' often). Please and thank you! (I just want to know how the story is going) Once again, A/Ns durning the story will be in ( parentheses) because the other brackets don't work, and italicized. And here's another chapter of DARE.
OHMYGOD! I almost lost this whole entire chapter and i was really really really really really really really really really really really really mad and sad, but then i hit the back button, and the forward button, and i found most of it...WHEW!

Chapter 3: Getting Started, with Pansy

"Pans, are you sure you're okay back there?" Hermione looked behind her and asked.

"Yeah--just--fine," Pansy said between grunts. "Ugghh." She sighed, and stopped.

Hermione, at the front, stopped, and turned around. "Pansy, I can enchant them. Proffessors McGonagall and Dumbledore gave me permission to use magic outside of school already."

"No, that's oh--What am i saying? Get back here. Thanks a lot, Herms." Pansy said as Hermione smiled and said the spell to make the many trunks levitate.

"Great. Let's continue, shall we?" She went back to the bag she was carrying (but really levitating) and the group continued up the stairs. Hermione turned right into a whole wing of the house (yeah, a whole wing. They call it "The Guest Wing." haha.).

"A whole wing! Are you serious!" Ron exclaimed.

"Yeah. Mum and Dad just added it a few years back when our relatives started coming so often. It's really handy for us, because there are six separate rooms, but Mum and Dad said I could make the walls disappear, and make it one big room with two doors to the stairs."

"Wow," Harry said in awe. He had never seen anything like the room Hermione had fixed up. You could tell where there were supposed to be different rooms, because there were beds with furniture around them, all with the same color scheme. "Wasn' t it a bit hard, Hermione?" He asked.

"Well, it was, but then I remembered that in Hogwarts, a History, I read that they did this in Hogwarts sometimes. Like, created walls and broke them down, and such. They talked about it so much, that they actually tought you how to do it in the book! It was much easier here at home though, because there aren't all those safety spells around it."

"Aaah," everyone said, in understand-ment. (not a word, i know, but you know what i mean.) "That's my Hermione," Draco said with a grin, and Hermione turned a little pink.

"Well, I'll just assign you colors, it's easiest that way. If you want anything, please, please let me know! I want you guys to have fun while your here!" Hermione said that, looking at all her friends. Then she turned to each, and said, "Okay, Draco, why don't you take the blue, Harry you can take the green, Ron, take the orange, Pans, take the pink, Ginny, you can be on the other side of me with the yellow." Everyone moved to there area, and Hermione moved to her red bed (hehehe).

Pansy immediately set to work on opening her suitcases (or trunks, whatever) and putting her clothes in drawers. Hermione was really smart, in more ways than one. She gave Pansy the pink "room", which was her favorite color, and the one with a closet (off the wall), two dressers, a large space to put her trunks, and an empty trunk at the foot of the maple bed. She called Hermione over and asked her if she (Pansy) could either make the trunk disappear or move it somewhere else. Hermione apparated it to her room, which was empty at the moment.

Hermione was a really nice girl. When Pansy joined the group, Hermione was the only one of Harry, Ron, and Ginny that was trying to include Pansy. Hermione was very nice to her. Pansy, who wasn't very warm to Hermione, continued to ignore what Hermione was trying to do, and concentrating on being mad at her. She had stolen her precious Draco! But soon Pansy realized how helpful Hermione was with schoolwork. That was the first thing that got her. Then she noticed how kind and sweet Hermione was being to her. Next, she found how amazing her group of friends was. For a long, long time, Slytherins and Gryffindors weren't the best of friends. But when Hermione and Draco started going out, and Pansy joined Hemione's friends, they were really acheiving something! Now, you could see Slytherins and Gryffindors together everywhere.

Pansy put the last pair of shoes in her trunk at the foot of her bed. She surveyed her pink area, and really took in how beautiful it was. Everything was placed around the bed, in a sort of semi-circle. The foot of the bed was facing a large empty space in the middle of everyone's beds and "rooms." Her bed spread, was gorgeous. It was all different shades of pink. The background (which you couldn't see too much of), was a light, pastel pink. On top of that were several different square/rectangle shapes all different shades of pink. The closet was maple wood, too, as well as the dressers. The carpet was the same shade of pastel pink.

She could see everyone else's room was pretty much the same thing, except for Hermione's. Her's was based on Gryffindor. Pansy remembered her saying something about her parents remodeling her room while Hermione was in her 1st year. Pansy's parents had done the same, with green and silver. However, they had her room done a month before she was even born. Hermione's bedspread had a large lion on it, and her carpet was red. The sheets underneath the comforter (or whatever) were red and yellow striped. Pansy continued to look at everyone else's rooms. They were all still getting ready, but Pansy couldn't figure out why. She had much more stuff than they all did.

Pansy got bored pretty quickly, so she just sat on her bed for a few more minutes, until Hermione came over.

"Oh, hey, Herms," Pansy said cheerfully.

"Hi. All done, I see?"

"Yeah, I can't figure out how fast I went. Everyone else is still unpacking," Pansy said, a little confused. (Hi, again. It's me. I just started writing again after a few hours. And I happen to have writer's block. oh JOY. just thought i should share ;-) )

"Mmm..." hermione said in understandment. (i still dont know what the word is) Soon after, she looked up, got up, and said, "Oh, is everyone ready then? Well, lemme show you guys the house."

"Yeah, that'll be exciting!" Harry said. "Hermione, these rooms are great, by the way."

"Thanks, Harry. Well, let's go this way, shall we?" Hermione and Ginny lead the way, with Pansy, Draco, Harry and Ron following. They walked down a long hallway lined with pictures of the Granger family all over the world.

"I see the light!" Ron said, exasperated, and everyone laughed a little. They had finally come to the end of the hallway. It wasn't that long, and it was well-lit. They were back to the main part of the house, upstairs level.

"This is where my room usually is." Hermione opened a set of double-doors to a very, very large room. It was almost as big as the whole Weasely house, all the rooms set down side by side. (not making fun of anything here, just a comparison. If you see the rooms as small and cramped, then it works. If not---well too bad for you.)

"Wow!" Everyone stared, breathlessly in awe. They were mostly amazed at the size of the room, seeing as there wasnt much in it at the moment.

"Well, guys, I thought we should go swimming now. How does that sound?" Hermione asked everyone.

"Great, that sounds just fine." Everyone said pretty much the same thing.

"So you guys all have your swimsuits then?"

"Oh no! Not down the endless passage of doom!" Ron said, causing a few chuckles or grins.

"Yes, Ronald. And it's not that bad, honestly. Just everyone go there and i'll meet you right outside the door of our room by the stairs. Got it? Okay." The group began walking down the hallway, and Hermione stayed behind to grab her swimsuit. 'Hmm...which one should I wear...' "GINNY! PANSY! GET IN HERE!" She shouted out the door, and the two girls came running.

"What's the matter with you!" Pansy asked.

"I don't know which swimsuit I should wear! It's the first time Draco, and Harry and Ron, have seen me in a swim suit!" Hermione led the girls over to a closet. There was a section of swim suits in it.

"Hmmm...this one might look quite cute on your skin," Ginny picked up a red bikini and bottoms. (not the shorts kind)

"Yes, well this one might look okay, too," Pansy picked up a black tankini, "but if it's a first time, you gotta make a good impression!" All the girls giggled madly at the sound of this. "Plus, I'm wearing black already."

"So we're all wearing bikinis?" ginny asked. They nodded. "Good, otherwise someone'd feel weird if they weren't." Hermione grabbed the swimsuit, and all the girls changed in her room. Hermione in her closet (which was quite large), Pansy in the bath room, and Ginny in the actual room. When they were all done, they went downstairs (the boys had already left) to the pool, where the boys were already chugging butterbeer. Hermione had put a keg in the pool, as well as in the kitchen.

As soon as the girls walked in, even though they were all wearing towels, Ron immediately grabbed Pansy by the waist and started snogging her. Everyone else laughed, because it was clear how drunk Ron was becoming. He must have opened a bottle of wine Hermione was saving for later. Combined with the butterbeer, you could figure that Ron didn't drink too much of each, they perfectly worked together.

"Well come on then, let's get in the pool!" Draco said. Hermione began to undo her towel, but Draco had different intentions. He grabbed her by the waist, (her towel flung through the air, and landed on top of Ron's and Pansy's heads), and threw her in the pool. Hermione was shreiking. She went under, jumped up and grabbed Draco, who was laughing and turned away, by the ankles, and pulled him into the pool. He almost landed on top of her, but she moved away just at the last moment. By now Ron and Pansy had broken apart and were laughing along with Harry and Ginny.

"Oh, it's lovely in here," Draco said. "Come on in, everyone." And everyone jumped in.

WOW, really long chapter. At the top of this page, it was called 'getting ready, with pansy.' this is beacause i hope you get how i'm writing this story. I write the regular story, and I add the back story of someone in the story. Kind of like LOST, one of my favorite shows. I really hope you like it, last time it was Ron's story, kind of. Please review! and sorry if i scared you in the beggining, jedimasterevan and evilwitch111. Just saying your name. So you would review. Which I hope I recieve. As well as more.
Anyways, this might be one of the longest chapters for a while, the next one might be short. But i do this thing, whenever i'm writing, I go into a lot, a lot, a lot of detail. Please comment on my writing style. I doubt i'll change it, but i just want to know how it is. bye for now!
