Chapter 18-par AN- Well, it has been a long time since I updated, so I am going to make this chapter really good. Sorry, but please continue to review! I love you!
"I think that we should play a little game of truth or dare." Draco suggested in the most innocent voice he could while grinning like a Cheshire Cat. "Strip Truth or Dare." he added.
"NO, no, definitely not!" Hermione replied thought deep inside she thought that it would be fun to see Draco(AN-Nice thought huh?)
"Ah, come on. Youre no fun." Draco whined.
"In your dreams. I am NOT taking off any of my clothes in front of you!"
"Fine, be that way. We can just sit here and do nothing."
"Fine!" Hermione replied indignantly as she took a seat across the room from Draco.
"Come on, Hermione. It could be fun. Would you honestly rather sit here and do nothing?"
"Yes, I would."
"Okay, fine. We wont play strip truth or dare. Hey, how about I never?"
"I never?"
"Yeah, what you do is say I never and then finish the sentence. If I say something that I have never done and you have done it then you have to take a shot. Understand?"
"A shot of what?" Hermione asked.
"Why Rum of coarse." He replied grinning broadly.
"And where may I ask do you plan on getting Rum?"
"We are in the Leaky Cauldron, arent we?" Hermione was about to refuse, but Draco interrupted her. "Its between drinking and stripping, its your choice."
"Draco Malfoy! I do not like ultimatums!" Hermione said indignantly, but in the end agreed to I never.
Draco smiled widely as he ran to one of the cupboards and got 2 large bottles of Rum and two shot glasses. "Okay, I will go first." he said and Hermione nodded. "I never, kissed the boy-who-lived." he said, smirking at Hermione.
Hermione raised an eyebrow before taking a shot from her glass.
"OH! Do tell!" Draco said, practically bubbling with anticipation.
Hermione blushed and shook her head. "No."
"Aw, come on!" Draco pouted.
"Fine, once in our fifth year I kissed Harry."par "Why?"
"Argh! Because he asked me to." Hermione mumbled.par "What! Potter ASKED you to kiss him!" Draco practically yelled.
"Shut-it! Harry thought he had feelings for me and he wanted to know by seeing if the kiss meant anything." Hermione said, trying to defend her friends honor.
"And was there?" Draco asked in an extremely serious tone.
"That,my dear, is none of your business. Now, my turn. I never kissed Pansy Parkinson." Hermione said.
Draco raised an eyebrow, but didnt lift the glass to his lips immediately. Hermione was about to argue when he took the shot and sat the glass down. Hermione smirked and said, "I thought so."
"Yeah, yeah. Well, I didnt like it." Draco mumbled.
"Uh huh."
"Anyway, I never had sex with a man." Draco said, hoping to find out Hermione's secrets.
Hermione looked stricken. Pain filled her eyes before she blinked it away and took the shot.par Draco was totally shocked. He hadnt expected her to have done such a thing. "What?"
Hermione took a deep breath before anger filled her face and she said, "I took the shot didnt I?"
Draco was taken back by what she said. He was about to drop, but he had to know. "Why? Who?" Draco asked.
Hermione's eyes flashed before a singly tear fell down her cheek.
"What's wrong?" he asked in a desperately confused voice. par "Nothing, forget it. I don't want to play anymore." Hermione said, turning away from him.
Draco stepped up to her and gently placed his hands on her shoulders. "You don't have to tell me if you dont want to." he whispered.
Hermione nodded and wiped at her tear-stained cheeks. "No, I will." she said as she turned back to him.
Draco nodded and took her into his arms in a comforting embrace. "Are you sure?"
Hermione nodded and said, "Its the only thing that I have never told you." she whispered.
"Okay, but lets sit down first." he said as he led her to a bench. par After a few seconds, Hermione collected herself enough to tell him the story. "It-it was m-m-my d-d-dad." she whispered so quiet that he could barely hear her.
"What!" he asked, outraged.
"It was over the summer before I ran away." Hermione said tears falling freely.
"I am soo sorry! I can not believe that anyone would do that! He-he RAPED you!"
"SHHH! I know. Just forget about it. It is no big deal." Hermione said, trying to paste a smile onto her face.
"It is a big deal!" Hermione turned away, but Draco turned her head back to face him and said, "Hermione, I promise that I will never let anything like that ever happen to you again!"
Hermione looked away again and whispered, "Don't make promises that you cant keep."
Draco was startled, she seemed so jaded. "True, I cant keep you from all harm, but I will do my best."
"Thank you. Thank you for everything!" Hermione said, pulling him into a bone-crushing hug. par "So, what do you want to do now?" Draco asked after a few minutes.
"Umm, how about we play some more." Hermione replied.par "You sure?"
Hermione nodded and went back over to the abandoned bottles. "My turn. she said filling up both glasses and saying, I never ate a vomit flavored bean."
The game went on with both teenagers saying funny things and getting very drunk. Soon they had both passed out on the stone floor, waking up entangled in each others arms.
