XOXO
Ginny looked over at Hermione who was currently finishing her homework. Ginny had less homework and was already finished. Ginny sighed and watched as the last person (a first year) left the common room. Hermione caught Ginny's eye and smiled putting closing her book and putting everything away. Both looked up at the sound of clumsy footsteps. It was Harry and Ron with Harry's Invisibility cloak.
"There's no way we're all going to fit under this," Ron muttered under his breath.
"Luckily I know a spell that can make a person invisible. I'll cast it on myself and the three of you go under the cloak," Hermione whispered back. After a moment or two they were all hidden from view and headed out to the quidditch pitch. Arriving at the pitch Ginny shivered. She was used to it having cheering students in the stands and players flying around, now it dark, gloomy and somewhat scary.
"Lumos," Ginny said as Harry pulled the cloak off of the three of them. Looking around there was no sign of Isabella or Draco. Suddenly Ginny's vision was blocked, she screamed and dropped her wand. Opening her eyes again everyone was laughing.
"My, my, my, my who knew you were so easily frightened?" Isabella smiled at her, "sorry I didn't think that would be your reaction, I figured you would know it was me."
"You ok?" Draco asked handing her wand over to her, Ginny nodded shooting Bella a death glare.
"I said sorry," Isabella rolled her eyes, "shall we begin?" Everyone watched as she placed a bottle on the ground. Sitting around it in a circle they all grinned at each other nervously this wasn't part of their plan.
"We decided that we wanted a little spin on the game," Draco explained calmly, "to decide who's turn it is the person that just went will spin the bottle. For example if I had just gone I would spin it to see who I was going to challenge." Everyone looked somewhat relieved upon hearing this.
"Don't tell me you cursed it so we have to be honest and do as told," Hermione stated eyes narrowing.
"Yes, but one thing, there is to be nothing dirty. Do I make myself clear?" Isabella told Draco more than anyone else. Everyone nodded and signed a sheet that held them to all promises made, which was three; to be honest, to do as told, and nothing dirty.
"Let the game begin I'll go first," Draco spun the bottle it landed on Harry. Draco smirked this was perfect, "truth or dare Potter?"
"Dare," Harry gritted not wanting Draco to think him a coward. Draco's smirk widened.
"I dare you to tomorrow morning in potions act like you and Professor Snape are lovers, pretend he cheated on you, make it believable in front of the whole class and Isabella who is apparently spending the class with us."
Harry glared at him as the girls giggled and Ron patted his shoulder. Knowing he had no choice he nodded. It was his turn, Harry spun the bottle and it landed on Hermione.
"Truth or dare 'Mione?" Harry asked wondering which she would choose
"Truth," Hermione smiled.
"Have you ever had a crush on a teacher other than Professor Lockhart?" Harry asked not wanting to go to hard on his friend.
"Pathetic Harry you can do better than that. The answer is no," Hermione rolled her eyes and reached forward to spin the bottle. It landed on Isabella who smirked in true Malfoy fashion, "truth or dare?"
"Dare of course," They all knew she would choose this.
"I dare you to bewitch Professor Snape's socks so that they sing everytime Neville Longbottom comes into the Great Hall and of course sing while he's in there and Potions class. Song is up to you," Hermione smiled sweetly at her and Isabella stood up.
"Where do I find his socks?" Isabella grinned.
"House elves do the laundry," Ron shrugged. They all walked to where the laundry was kept and after some persuading they were given a pair of Snape's socks. Isabella charmed them to sing the song of her choice. And as an extra precaution she bewitched them so that Snape would wake up and want to wear this pair for a reason he wouldn't know. After this task was done they all went back to the quidditch pitch. It was Isabella's turn to spin. This time it landed on Ron, his face paled and she grinned.
"Truth or dare," she said in a voice that challenged him.
"Dare," he responded his voice shaking slightly. This seemed to greatly please her.
"I dare you to go up to Dumbledore's office and sing to him the song I'm about to tell you until he comes out. I know the password so that's not a problem. Just keep riding the spinning stair thing, voices echo in there," Isabella leaned forward and whispered the song in his ear and Ron looked startled she rolled her eyes and gave him a piece of paper, "lyrics."
The group headed up and once at the door Bella said the password and Ron got on the moving gargoyle thing. Bella nodded and he began to sing the chorus to Everlasting Love.
"Open up your eyes, then you'll realize
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side, gonna be my bride
You'll never be denied, everlasting love
From the very start open up your heart Feel the love you got, everlasting love"Ron sang this over and over in the tune that Isabella had given him (though he was very off pitch) until Dumbledore came out. The others hid at the bottom, the girls giggled while Harry and Draco told them to quiet. Once quiet they all strained to listen being quiet even with breathing.
"Mr. Weasley may I ask what I have done to deserve the pleasure of your serenading me? Or perhaps it is best I don't know…" Dumbledore trailed off his eyes twinkling in amusement. Ron looked down to see if he could see the others, he really didn't want to say what she had told him to say.
"Of course there is a reason Professor, I just feel so close to you after being here for seven years. I think it's time we deepend our friendship," Ron responded getting down to one knee.
"I do wonder who put you up to this… you may leave, I will not take points off because I myself have done things such as this during school. One of mine was to burn all of the bed curtains in our dormitory," Dumbledore coughed, "ahem well goodnight." Ron sighed relieved. They all walked back to the quidditch pitch laughing once outside. Ron spun the bottle and it landed on Draco.
"Truth or dare Malfoy," Ron knew Draco would never back away from a challenge and would choose dare.
"Dare Weasley I'm not a coward like Granger," Draco flicked a glance at Hermione who was red in the face from anger.
"I dare you to come in to the great hall with a dress on and hand out flowers to the Hufflepuffs," Ron smirked. Draco looked horrified.
"My turn again," He spun the bottle and it landed on Hermione, "have to do a dare this time. Let me think I know I dare you to come in with me to the great hall and hand out flowers to Slytherins. In a matching guys outfit." Hermione frowned moodily and spun the bottle. It landed on Ginny.
"Which will it be Gin?" Hermione asked kindly.
"Dare," Ginny responded confidently thinking that Hermione being her friend would go easy on her.
"Kiss Peeve's on the cheek," Hermione stated then yawned, "It's getting late and some of us have dare's to do tomorrow so let's go to sleep." They all agreed and separated to go to sleep.
XOXO
The next morning Ginny turned around to see Hermione and Draco enter the Great Hall dressed in matching outfits. Hermione's was a German outfit with the knee the knee length shorts. Draco's was a skirt that ended above the knees both had baskets with red flowers. The two looked at each other and skipped down the rows, Hermione tossing flowers at the Slytherins and Draco tossing flowers at the Hufflepuffs. The whole hall looked surprised at first then burst out laughing. Once out of flowers they sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"That was low Weasley," Draco muttered.
"Your one to talk Draco," Hermione snapped back.
"Look here he comes," Isabella pointed to Neville who was just about to enter the great hall. Suddenly everyone heard singing.
"(Snape) Don't go breaking my heart
(Neville) I couldn't if I tried
(Snape) Honey if I get restless
(Neville) Baby you're not that kind
(Snape) Don't go breaking my heart
(Neville) You take the weight off me
(Snape) Honey when you knock on my door
(Neville) I gave you my key
(Both) Nobody knows it
(Snape) When I was down
(Neville) I was your clown
(Both) Nobody knows it
(Snape) Right from the start
(Neville) I gave you my heart
(Neville) I gave you my heart
(Snape) So don't go breaking my heart
(Neville) I won't go breaking your heart
(Both) Don't go breaking my heart
(Snape) And nobody told us
(Neville) Cause nobody showed us
(Snape) And now it's up to us babe
(Neville) I think we can make it
(Snape) So don't misunderstand me
(Neville) You put the light in my life
(Snape) You put the sparks to the flame
(Neville) I've got your heart in my sights"
The male voice came from the staff table while the other one seemed to come from Neville, shocked Neville stepped out of the great hall and the music stopped. Then he stepped back in and it started again. The whole hall laughed and Dumbledore silenced everyone and asked Neville to wait in the outside until this was sorted out.
"Now will whoever has done this stand up and tell us who at the staff table has obtained singing socks that sing in time with Mr. Longbottom's?" Dumbledore asked everyone. Isabella stood up and watched shocked as Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Draco (who were back in school uniform) stood up. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows.
"Professor Snape's socks, sir," Isabella spoke calmly. At this all of the other teachers began to laugh even Dumbledore chuckled. Snape looked over at the Malfoy girl furiously.
"Please undo whatever it is you did to their socks. Now," Dumbledore said peering over his glasses at her. Isabella did as told. Neville walked in and sighed at the silence that greeted him.
XOXO
They all laughed remembering the morning's actions. Now all that was left were Harry's and Ginny's.
"Great choice in song! Why didn't you tell us you did that to Neville's socks too?" Ginny questioned.
"Wouldn't have worked with that song if Neville's didn't and that would have ruined the surprise!" Isabella giggled, "nice skipping Draco." He bowed his head and the girls giggled.
"Oh looks like its time for Ginny's," Hermione pointed to Peeves who was coming up to them.
"Well well if it isn't Potter the Rotter and the special case," he stated as he reached them floating still enough for Ginny to lean forward and kiss his cheek. As soon as she had done this they ran full speed to Potions, not waiting to see his reaction.
XOXO
Halfway through Potions Harry began to fake cry, though only the six of them knew it was fake. Draco looked at Ginny, both faked a look of shock. Isabella followed suit and soon Hermione and Ron did the same.
"H-How could you? I thought our relationship meant more to you than that!" Harry cried causing everyone to look up from their work.
"What are you talking about Mr. Potter?" Snape was too shocked by this outburst to take points away.
"Don't Mr. Potter me, you know exactly what I'm talking about! How could you? I thought we were destined to be together! You said you would never cheat!" Harry wailed convincingly. For a second the group almost forgot he was faking.
"Mr. Potter that is enough, thirty points from Gryffindor. I don't know what has gotten into you and your rotten friends, but I will have none of it," Snape said looking angrier than any of them had ever seen him look, "GET BACK TO WORK!" He shouted and everyone did as told out of fear.
XOXO
"Oh wow Harry," Isabella said the shock wearing off. She now began to giggle uncontrollably.
"That was scary, I am never doing anything like that again," Harry shuddered. The others joined in laughing and eventually Harry did too. Once they had calmed down Hermione raised her glass of pumpkin juice.
"I propose a toast to us," Hermione started.
"To new love," added Ginny looking at Draco who smiled.
"To a friendship that will last longer than we will," chimed in Isabella.
"To discovering sometimes we are wrong about others," Draco stated looking at the golden trio.
"To realizing that we don't always know what's best for others," Ron said smiling at Ginny and Draco.
"To the new generation of Marauders here at Hogwarts," Harry said remembering Black and his father. They all knew of them and looked surprised. They all clinked glasses with one another and laughed.
XOXO
"Well I must say the rest of this year should be interesting so to speak," Draco said to Ginny. The two were sitting near the lake. It was dark and cold but they seemed oblivious.
"I think it has been and will continue to be the best one yet," Ginny said looking at him. They kissed and he walked her back to the Gryffindor portrait hole.
"Good night, I'll see you tomorrow," Ginny whispered.
"Night," Draco whispered back leaning into kiss her. They kissed for a couple of seconds before Ginny went into the portrait hole.
XOXO
