A/N: I'd just like to thank all the people who have reviewed so far. Also there is a new competition at the bottom of the chapter as well as a poll.

Chapter 12 – Truth or Dare

"I'm bored," Lily whined to the group of six. It was a few weeks after they had returned from Easter holidays and most of the fifth years had begun to freak out about O.W.L.s. But not our favourite group of six no siree. They were more obsessed with finding something to do that wasn't boring.

"Well what do you want to do?" asked Sirius.

"I don't know, you guys come up with an idea cause I'm really bored and I'm about to explode from the boredom." They all shrugged then Peter piped up and said,

"We could play Truth or Dare."

"Wormtail that would have to be one of the smartest ideas you've come up with," Remus put in. At the name Wormtail Lily started and glanced at James. He looked straight back into her eyes and they both remembered the last full moon before the holidays. Lily shuddered and diverted her eyes. The others were all agreeing to Peter's idea and were looking to Lily for her consent.

"Yes let's play Truth or Dare. Mwahahaha," Lily began to cackle evilly. The other five looked at her strangely and Carly said,

"Okay Li let's get you upstairs so we can play." The six went up to the boys' dorm and sat around in a circle.

"Who's going to start?" asked Remus.

"Can I? Can I?" James asked bouncing up and down.

"Potter I don't believe it. You're an excitable blonde," said Lily. Again everyone looked at her strangely again. Lily just looked back at them and smiled.

"James to answer your question you may go first," Carly said.

"Goodie," James said rubbing his hands together, "My first victim shall be Miss Lily Evans. Truth or dare."

Lily smirked. "Truth."

James' face fell. "Aww. Spoil sport. Okay fine, truth. Let's see… ah I know. Why do you hate me?"

"I hate you because you're an egotistical, conceited, sexist, chauvinistic womanizer."

"But-but…" James sputtered.

"Don't say anything; I'm not going to change my opinion until you prove me wrong. Now it's my turn. Hmm… Remus."

"Dare," Remus said.

Lily smirked. "Okay I dare you to sing 'Love Shack' in front of the whole Common Room and at the same time go up to some of the seventh years and sing personally to them guys and girls."

Remus' eyes bulged out of his head. "Like hell I'm going to do that."

"Guys we're going to have to come up with a punishment for people who back out of dares or don't answer the questions," Peter put in, "Padfoot my friend any ideas?"

"Of course my dear Wormtail. If you back out then tomorrow you have to wear only underwear all day. Each time you back out adds another day to the punishment."

Lily grinned. "So Remmie what were you saying about singing?"

Remus growled at her then got up and left the dorm. The others followed him. This was something they were not going to miss.

On the way back upstairs Lily, Carly, James, Peter and Sirius were cacking themselves while Remus was blushing furiously. "That… was… priceless," Lily gasped as she collapsed on one of the beds in the dorm. Remus glared at her and you could see the daggers shooting out of his eyes.

"Whatever you say Lil," Remus said.

"Don't call me Lil," Lily snarled practically baring her teeth.

Remus rolled his eyes. "My turn. Sirius truth or dare?"

"Dare of course," Sirius replied nonchalantly.

"Okay I dare you to go sing YMCA to the Slytherins."

Sirius' eyes widened in fear. "Oh no. No way. Absolutely no way in hell am I doing that."

James shrugged. "Then tomorrow you can spend the day in only your boxers."

"That's preferable to singing to the bloody Slytherins."

"Have it your way Padfoot."

"I will. Now let's see. Ah Carly darling, truth or dare?"

"Truth. You think I'm stupid enough to let you or James come up with a dare for me?"

Sirius pouted. "Aww why did you pick truth? Dares are more fun."

"They're more fun?" Carly was unconvinced, "Yes that would be why you just backed out of your dare."

"She's got you there pal," added Peter.

"Fine," Sirius sighed, "Who do you think is hotter, me or James?"

"James."

Lily looked at her in surprise then narrowed her eyes. 'There's something more going on there, I know it. But I thought Car had a crush on Sirius,' she thought. The game had continued while Lily had been thinking and now Remus was asking her "Truth or dare?"

Lily raised her left eyebrow and said slowly "Dare."

Everyone in the room looked at her in shock and surprise. "Wha-what?" James said.

"Potter you're stuttering again. And I said dare so Remus are you going to dare me?"

"Umm yeah," Remus replied trying to regain his composure, "Uh I dare you to walk around the halls since it is after curfew."

Lily looked at Remus in shock causing James to say arrogantly, "You have been outside the Common Room after curfew haven't you?"

"You know quite well that I have Potter." Lily looked James in the eye and raised an eyebrow, "So that's the dare Remus? Mind if I borrow you Invisibility Cloak Potter?"

"You know about the cloak?"

"Of course. I've known since about October," Lily rolled her eyes. Everyone was still looking at her in shock. "Okay how about I go to the kitchens and bring something back to prove I did the dare?" The others nodded their heads mutely. Lily got up and left. She was back surprisingly quickly, which shocked everyone again after they had only just recovered. Lily handed out the food and then said, "Okay let's keep playing. Hmm Peter truth or dare?"

"Uh truth."

"Who do you have a crush on?" Lily grinned evilly.

"Umm Michelle," Peter muttered.

Lily and Carly both burst into hysterical giggles and it took them awhile to calm down. The Marauders were looking at the two of them as if they were crazy. Why would they be laughing about the fact that Peter liked Michelle? Michelle was a nice girl, surely Lily and Carly knew that since they slept in the same dorm as her.

"Now that you two have calmed down would you care to tell us why Michelle is so funny?" asked James.

Lily burst into giggles again as Carly tried to explain. "We're sorry but it's hard to picture Peter with Michelle. He's way too nice. I know James and Sirius have both gone out with her but she's a right stroppy cow Michelle is. Biggest bloody bitch in the school in our opinion."

"Umm… okay then well do you think we should continue the game?"

They continued to play. Every time one of the Marauders asked James truth or dare he always made sure to pick dare. He had a bad feeling about what they would ask him if he picked truth. And so far no else had backed out therefore leaving Sirius with the only punishment. That is until it came round to Lily about an hour later.

"Lily truth or dare?" asked Carly.

"Truth."

"Okay then Miss Evans; do you have a crush on someone?"

"Yes."

"What? Who?" Carly was stunned.

"Not telling. You didn't ask that as your question. Now James truth or dare?"

"What the hell. Truth."

"Would you ever date a Slytherin?"

"If she was hot." Lily narrowed her eyes at his sexist reply but didn't comment on it.

"My turn now. Truth or dare Lily flower?"

"Truth and don't call me Lily flower."

"Who do you like?"

"I'm not saying a word."

"Lily you'll have to wear your underwear all day tomorrow if you don't tell us," Peter reminded her.

"Fine. Oh would you look at the time we have to go now." Lily grabbed Carly's arm and dragged her out of the room. When they got back to their dorm Lily went straight to bed without saying anything.
