Truth or Dare

Ron

My face twisted in horror at the thought of going first. Then, being the Gryffindor that I was, and because I wanted to impress Hermione, I grinned bravely.

Ron- "Dare."

I saw Hermione grin evilly at that word.

Hermione- "I dare you to test one of Fred and George's candies."

I gulped. I mean, Merlin knows what Fred and George cook up! So I put on a fake brave face and nodded.

Fred- "Well little bro, you can try out our newest candy, Truth Treat.

George- "Yes, the Truth Treat is a fantastic Chocolate Frog with a special spell inside of it. Once you taste it, you automatically tell the truth without being able to control yourself. Hermione asks you a question and you automatically answer it with a definite truth. Alright little brother! Time to test!"

I gulped yet again as Fred handed me a weird purplish color candy. I smiled weakly and took the candy. Before I ate it I had to ask the Twins something:

Ron- "Erm Fred? George?"

George- "Yesssssssssssss?" He said this in a sing-song voice.

Ron- "How long do these things last?"

Fred- "Ah yes I thought you would be asking that. The effects last for 2 hours."

Ron- "Oh um ok."

I took a deep breath and put the whole candy in my mouth. It tasted pretty good. It tasted like a Bertie Bott Bean, although I couldn't quite tell which one. I swallowed the candy and turned towards Hermione.

Ron- "Happy?"

Hermione- "Very. Just--make sure you chose dare rather than truth more."

I stuck my tongue out at her then resumed the game.

Ron- "Ginny, truth or dare?"

Ginny- "Erm…..truth."

Ron- "How many guys have you dated?"

Ginny gave him a glare. She knew that he was just being mean.

Ginny- "Three"

Fred & George- "WHO?"

Ginny- "For me to know and you to find out. Anyways, erm…….George, truth or dare?"

George- "Truth"

Ginny " Are you two in the Order?"

George- "Yes. Harry, truth or dare."

Harry- "Truth"

George- "Has Ronniekins ever told you who he likes or loves?"

Harry cast a side long glance at Ron and mumbled "Yes"

George- "Who does he like!"

Ron- "Oy! Only one question per truth!"

Fred and George snickered. They had an idea but didn't want to make any jokes or tease him because they weren't sure of their facts. They thought it was…well that was irrelevant. It just couldn't be true! Anyways on with the game.

Harry- "Hermione, truth or dare?"

Hermione- "Erm truth."

Harry- "Who do you like in our year at Hogwarts?"

Hermione- "Well….I'm not telling! I'll take the consequences."

Harry rolled his eyes and said: "Way to be a Gryffindor Hermione. Anyways you consequences are to not read our schoolbooks for the rest of the summer!"

Hermione- "Oh Harry you know that isn't fair!"

Harry just grinned and shrugged at her statement while Hermione meanwhile pouted. I on the other hand was laughing because Harry gave her some good consequences. Although I wished she would've answered the question because I would want to know her crush. While these thoughts were running through my head, the game resumed.

Hermione- "Erm Bill, truth or dare?"

Bill- "Ok, I know I will pay for this but dare…."

Hermione- "Okay, uh I dare you to--

Hermione was interrupted by Mrs. Weasley coming up the hill.

"What in Merlin are you lot doing?"

Fred- "Why we are deciding what to get you for your birthday Mother Dearest"

"Fred, my birthday was a month ago. Now exactly what ARE you lot doing? And you better give me an honest answer!"

Hermione- "Sorry Mrs. Weasley, we were playing truth or dare." Hermione hung her head when she said that and Mum took pity on her and Harry.

"You lot are in deep trouble! Harry and Hermione are excused but you other six are dead!"

At that statement, the Weasley children started running back up to the house so that Mrs. Weasley couldn't catch them. Hermione stayed behind along with Harry. It didn't do us any good to run because Mum summoned us back to her with a flick of her wand.

Hermione

I watched as Ron, Ginny, the Twins, Bill, and Charlie zoomed back by Harry and I on the hill. Once they were turned towards their Mum she started yelling.

"Truth or Dare? Do you remember last time you played that game what happened?"

Harry- "What did happen Mrs. Weasley?"

"Fred dared Ron to go moon the neighbors and when I caught him he had his rear end plastered against the window!"

I burst out laughing. I was laughing so hard my ribs were hurting. Then I saw Ron blushing. I tried to turn my laugh into a cough. What I ended up doing was having a coughing fit. Ron's whole head was blushing now. By his ears was beet red. I managed to say that I had to go fetch something from Ginny's room and ran away laughing like I was crazy. When I finally reached Ginny's room I had to sit down on the bed because my ribs were hurting. Just then I heard six pairs of feet coming up the stairs. I grabbed a book that I brought from home and started reading when Harry, Ginny, and Ron came into the room. Harry took one look at what I was doing and frowned.

"Hermione you cant read remember?"

"Ah but I found a loophole. You said I couldn't read schoolbooks. This is a book I brought from home."

Ron laughed and said: "She's got you there Harry!"

Harry shrugged hopelessly because he knew he was defeated. I saw Ron sort of staring at me.

Hermione- "Something wrong Ron?"

Ron- "No 'Mione, why?"

Hermione- "Since when do you call me 'Mione?"

Ron blushed and shrugged. "Your name is just so long I thought I would shorten it."

When Ron said that I just shrugged, while Harry and Ginny looked knowingly at each other. Apparently Ron saw this to.

Ron- "What do you to know that we don't?"

Ginny- "Oh nothing…."

Hermione- "Oh come on Ginny I'm not stupid. What's going on?"

"We know you two have something going on." Harry blurted out.

Ron & Hermione- "Excuse me?"

Harry- "Erm n-nothing"

Ron blushed while Hermione rolled her eyes.

Hermione- "What could possibly be going on?"

Ginny- "Just the fact that we know that you two like each other."

This time BOTH Ron and Hermione blushed.

Ron gulped and said: "Whatever gives you that idea?"

Ginny just sighed and stood up. "Well gang I have to go downstairs."

When Ginny left Harry turned to Ron and Hermione.

"That's true isn't it?"

Hermione- "Depends….."

Ron looked at her in surprise. "Depends on what?", he asked.

"Just on something I have been thinking about.", I said in a small voice. Then I jumped up and mumbled something about going to see what Ginny was up to. I left the room with a blush creeping up on my face…..

Ron

My head was spinning with everything I just heard Hermione say. Inside, I had a feeling that she liked me but I couldn't be sure. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice Harry's hand in front of my face.

Harry- "Hello! Ron! Snap out of it!"

Ron- "What? Oh sorry mate, I was just thinking about something….."

Harry- "You sure you don't mean some ONE?"

Ron- "Bugger off Harry!"

Harry laughed and then resumed chatting.

Harry- "You like her don't you?"

Ron- "Like who?"

Harry- "Hermione!"

Ron- "Erm well I guess yeah."

Harry- "Way to state the obvious. I already knew that you like her, but I think there is something more going on with you and her."

Ron- "Oy, I do NOT want to talk about 'feelings' with you! Now off of that subject, let's play chess!"

Harry sighed and nodded. They went in the living room and sat down at the little table set up with the chess set. They started playing then like thirty minutes later, and with no surprise, Ron won. Just as he was gloating about his victory, Hermione walked in. He gulped and tried not to look like he was nervous. But of course he didn't do a very good job.
