Chapter 3
August 6th
Hermione and Ginny's Room, Order of the Pheonix Hideout
Wow! Yesterday was awesome, forHermione and Ron that is. As forHarry and I, well, it'll never happen. It won't happen in this lifetime, and I was very stupid to think that some how he liked me, but he doesn't.
Anyway, the plan worked, as anyone could have guessed by the fact that today was an awesome day for Hermione and Ron, thanks to Fred and George. I never thought they could actually be so serious about helping a friend…
Flashback
I woke up to mum shaking me.
"Ginny, you had better get up and get dressed. Breakfast will be ready soon and your dad and I need to speak to all of you kids." She said before moving over to Hermione's bed to wake her up.
Curious, I walked over to the wardrobe and got out a pair of capri's (A/N: or three-quarter pants same thing but w/e). After a few minutes of deciding, I chose to wear a pink shirt that said, "My mother said to pick the very best one" on the front and "And you are not it!" on the back.
"Which shirt should I wear, Ginny?" Hermione asked as I came out the bathroom after changing into the clothes that I had picked out earlier.
Hermione had laid a light blue shirt and a white shirt out on her bed. The blue shirt said, "Dare Me!" in white writing on the front while the white shirt said, "Angel" in pink writing.
"Hhhhmmmm I don't know, Hermione."
"Ginny! I can't decide you have got to help me!"
"Okay, Okay, don't get your knickers in a knot!"
Well… since we're planing on carrying out the plan today or tomorrow maybe she should wear the blue one… It also looks really good on her… but the white one wouldn't look bad on her either…
"Today please, Ginny"
"Okay, why don't you wear the blue one?"
"Sounds good to me! Thanks! Oh and wait for me please I shouldn't take that long."
"Okay."
Ten minutes later, Hermione was finally dressed.
"I won't take that long, my foot." I muttered half to myself as we hurried down the stairs to breakfast.
"Sorry, I didn't think it would take that long. Honest!" Hermione said as we entered the kitchen.
Everyone was already there and was apparently waiting on Hermione and I.
As I sat down I noticed that there weren't any members of the order here except for my mum and dad of course.
"Now that everyone is here. I will now make the announcement." Mum said, glancing around the table. "Your dad and I have decided that we are going out without you kids tonight, and that Fred and George will stay here to, not really baby-sit you but to make sure that you don't burn down the house or anything. I know that we don't normally tell you things like this, this far in advance, but since we will be leaving around 5 and won't be back till really late tonight, I thought we had better give you some warning."
"You made us wait to eat for that?" Ron asked.
I rolled my eyes as mum gave him a look and put the food on the table.
Ron,Harry and the twins attacked the food like they hadn't eaten in days.
How can guys eat so much? They never seem to stop eating!
I spooned some eggs onto my plate and grabbed a piece of toast. Hermione on the other hand only grabbed a piece of toast.
Hmmm… Hermione isn't eating much this morning. I wonder what's wrong with her. I know she doesn't eat as much as the guys do, but she normally eats more than this. Tonight will be perfect for our plan, since mum probably wouldn't like to see Hermione and Ron kiss, assuming we can get them too…I wonder if we'll be able to find out whoHarry likes and I hope no one dares me to say who I like…That would cause a little too much tension for my comfort or for anyone else's…
"Ginny are you almost done? I'd like to speak to you alone, if you are," asked Hermione in a whisper.
"I'm done. Should we go upstairs to our room to talk?" Why does Hermione want to talk to me? Is it about the plan or something else? I guess she'll tell me. I thought as Hermione nodded.
Hermione and I excused ourselves from the table and walked upstairs.
"Okay, what's wrong?" I asked as soon as Hermione shut the door.
"Well, nothings wrong. I was just wondering if we can trust Fred and George with their part in our plan, I mean, if they let us borrow the supplies to play Truth or Dare the magical, how do we know that it won't get too embarrassing?"
"Well… We don't but it's a risk we agreed we could take. Plus, it's a really good way to know if they're lying or not."
"You're right, Ginny. I worry too much."
"That's okay, Hermione."
"Okay then. Let's go tell Fred and George the plan and see if they'll let us use the stuff or not."
Hermione nodded and we went to go ask Fred and George if we could borrow the stuff for our plan. As our plan sounded like fun to them and since they wouldn't have anything else to do besides watch us, they made us promise them that they could play also. They said that they would help us out if it took too long for us to get the information we wanted.
So far, so good, now all we have to do is stay occupied till mum and dad leave.
END FLASHBACK
I couldn't believe that Fred and George were going to help Hermione and I with our plan! They surprised me even more by saying that if Ron didn't ask Hermione out soon; they had plans for Ron and Hermione, too. Hermione looked kind of shocked when the twins said this, and whispered a thank you in my ear. I almost laughed, because if Fred and George had plans then she has a reason to be scared. Fred and George's plans would beway, way, way more embarrassing and not so subtle as my plan is. Okay, so Truth or Dare is not the most original idea, but it might work since we're going to play it the unusual way, which happens to be a way that Fred and George came up with years ago, I think they were in their fourth year…
But whatever!
We had to wait till mum and dad were gone and weren't coming back for anything that they "forgot." That was a good hour after they left. So we had forever to do absolutely nada, zip, zilch, squat, nothing!
Okay, so after they were done eating us out of house and home, Ron andHarry found Hermione and I…
FlashBack
"There you are! Harry and I have been looking all over for you!" said Ronbursting into our room withHarry right behind him.
So much for hiding in here till mum and dad leave. Oh well! I hope they have something interesting in mind to do…
"Yes, here we are." Said Hermione looking bored.
"Ron and I were going outside to fly and maybe play some soccer. Would you girls care to join us?" asked Harry.
"I'll join you guys, I guess since there isn't anything else to do." Great! Something to get my mind off of waiting…
"I think I'll join you guys too." Said Hermione.
Wait she's joining us? She hates flying!
"Are you sick Hermione? You just agreed to playingQuidditch (sp?)with us!" said Ron looking really surprised.
"Yes, I did, but I am not sick. I just decided to try it today, that's all." Said Hermione.
Just decided to try playing Quidditch, my foot. She just wants Ron to know that she isn't always a bookworm, and that she knows how to have fun. I thought grinning to myself.
"Ginny, is there something you know and aren't telling us?" asked Harry. When I shook my head, he looked at me like he knew there was something I wasn't telling him. I ignored this and followed Ron and Hermione out the door, down the stairs and outside.
Once outside, Harry, Ron and I grabbed our brooms while Helen went to the shed to borrow Fred's.
Pretty soon, we were playing a game of two on two, Helen and Randy vs. James and I. The goal of this two on two game was to see which team could get the most goals before mum called us in for lunch. Helen doesn't normally fly, but she seemed to know what she was doing. She looked a little scared at first but after a while she relaxed and did really well.
"Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Harry! Time for lunch!" yelled mum from the back porch.
We put up theQuaffle and broomswalked inside.
Whoa I didn't realize playingQuidditch like that made you so hungry! I am starving!
Mum had fixed a bunch of sandwiches and some pumpkin juice for lunch.
"Here take these upstairs and eat." She said handing Ron and me the juice and the sandwiches.
End Flashback
Playing soccer with Harry, Ron and Hermione was bloody awesome! I never thought that Hermione would ever play Quidditch with us. She surprised me! She isn't that bad at it, she's just not the type of person who loves sports, but she's not a girly girl either. She's just… Hermione.
We decided to eat lunch in Hermione's and my room since it was definitely neater. Over lunch Hermione, Ron,Harry and I talked about random things ranging fromQuidditch to school.
After lunch, we played Exploding Snap, and chess, but after a few hours of that Hermione and I went off to the library to read, whileHarry and Ron moved into their room to keep playing chess. It was now about half past four.
Flashback
I sighed as I looked up from the book I was reading. Darn! It's only half past four! Why does time have to pass so slowly when you're waiting for something? Good grief! Wow! I have only been reading this book for about half an hour and I'm already half way through it! I guess that shows how good of a book it is. Hermione was right. These muggle novels aren't that bad… Wait who am I kidding? They're awesome!
Hermione looked up from her book, too and smiled.
"Time just won't pass quick enough will it?" she asked.
"No kidding. I can't wait till we can put our plan into action."
"I can't either!" Hermione was practically jumping up and down with excitement as she squealed this.
"I can see. Thanks for lending me this book. It's great!"
"No problem."
We both went back to reading our books only to be interrupted a few minutes later.
"Bye girls. Be good while your dad and I are gone. Tell us if Fred and George…" said my mum poking her head in the door.
"Mum! Don't worry! We'll be good, just worry about Ron, Fred, and George." I said interrupting her.
"Okay." Said mum still not quite satisfied, but she still walked out the room and left us to our books.
Okay only about an hour left to wait… darn I'm almost through with the book… oh well…
An hour later, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and I were seated in a circle around a small table.
"Okay… So what is this game we're going to play and where is it?" asked Ron.
"We're going to playMagical Truth or Dare." I said while Fred and George went off to go find the stuff that we needed to play the game.
" When Fred and George get back with the bucket thing, we all have to put ourwands in to the bucket. We then choose one person to give out the first truth or dare. This person will then say "Spin" and the spinner on the side of the bucket will spin around the bucket and stop pointing to some one. The person who the spinner lands on will then choose truth or dare. If the person decides that he or she doesn't want to say the truth or do the dare then the person can choose to do the other thing, but the person must do the other one." Said Hermione.
Okay, they don't get it. Look at their faces! They are so thick!
"For example, if I am "it" first, I say spin and the arrow suspended on the side of the bucket spins around and lands on someone else besides me. Let's say it lands on Fred. Fred then chooses a truth or a dare. If he picks truth and I ask him something he doesn't want to tell then he can switch his pick to dare. He can't switch his pick again, though. Do you guys understand better now?" I said while Hermione shot me a grateful look.
Fred walked in carrying the bucket thing. He set it on the table while George came in wearinga large winter coat, galoshes, and mittens over his other clothes.
"Have you told them the best part yet?" asked George.
"No, I haven't. They just now understand how to play." Said Hermione trying to keep a straight face.
"Why do I not like the sound of this?"Harry groaned to Ron.
"It's not that bad, guys. Honest!" said Hermione whileHarry and Ron shot her looks that said, whatever.
"Okay so, If you pick truth and you answer the truth with a lie or not the whole truth then you loose an article of clothing. You can also loose an article of clothing if you don't do the dare correctly. Another way you could loose an article of clothing is if you don't want to answer the truth or do the dare, you can opt to loose an article of clothing. The article of clothing will start out small, like a shoe, but will get bigger as you keep lying on truth questions and not doing dares or as you opt to loose an article of clothing. The article of clothing will not be lost forever, it will only get hidden in your room somewhere. You can't loose your… uh... undergarments. So no need to be nervous." Said Hermione blushing.
"Does everyone understand?" I asked and everyone nodded their heads. "Put yourwands in the bucket then and lets get started."
"So who is going to be 'it' first?" asked Harry.
"I will!" said Fred. "Spin."
The arrow spun around and landed on Ron.
"Darn!" groaned Ron. "Truth I guess."
"Okay… Have you ever kissed or done anything with a girl for that matter?" asked Fred.
Ron blushed and said that he hadn't. The bucket lit up green, signaling that it was good and that it was Ron's turn.
"Spin."
It landed on Hermione, who looked very nervous, but said, "Truth."
"Who do you fancy?"
Hermione's eyes opened up really wide.
COME ON HERMIONE! Just say Ron or dare. I suggest you say Ron though and get it over with. The look on his face spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e.
"Dean." Said Hermione.
The bucket glowed red and Hermione's right shoe disappeared.
"Oooo, Hermionetold a lie." George teased asRon sighed.
Why didn't she just say Ron's name? I think he was relieved that dean was a lie though.
I was broken out of my thoughts by Hermione saying spin.
The arrow landed on… George.
"Dare! You people are boring with your truths."
"Okay, hold on while I think a bit." Said Hermione smiling evilly. (A/N: hehehe) "I dare you to stand in a FULL trash can in the middle of the street singing the Barney song without a shirt on!"
Go Hermione! That sounds so funny!
George grinned and stood up. He got the trash can from inside the garage and walked out to the middle of the street, took off his shirt and climbed into the trash can.
"Ummm… Does he know what the words to the Barney song are?" asked Harry.
"I don't know. Whose Barney?" asked Fred.
"Barney is amuggle tv dinosaur for little kids." Said Hermione. " I have the words for him right here, he just forgot to ask for the words." At this Hermione waved a sheet of papet that she had obviously been holding in her hand.
Suddenly the paper flew out of her hand and into George's.
"Thank you, Hermione." He said and he started to sing:
I love you
You love me
We're best friends
Like friends should be
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too.
George sang this in a very out of tune voice that sounded like a dying cat or something, but he sang it.
Everyone laughed as a neighboor stuck his head out the window and yelled, "Crazy kid! Stop singing that and get out of that trash can!"
George gave him a mock salute and climbed out of the trash can.
Once he had put the trash can back in the garage, we all went back to sitting around the table with the bucket on it.
The arrow landed on Harry, who promptly said truth and groaned at the evil grin on George's face.
"Who do you fancy?"
"I don't know. I used to fancy Kate but now I don't know." Replied Harry.
The bucket glowed green confirming his answer.
Yes! He doesn't fancy Kate!
The arrow landed on Ron.
"Dare." Said Ron.
"I dare you to tell the person you fancy what you feel about her in private or here, but the person you fancy must tell you if they fancy you back." SaidHarry with a familiar glint in his eye.
"Okay, Heremione would you come with me?" asked Ron blushing and walking off to the kitchen.
As soon as Hermione and Ron had shut the door to the kitchen, Fred and George took out some Extendable Ears and gave each of us one.
"Hermione, I l-like y-you a-a lot," stammered Ron.
"I like you too Ron." Said Hermione. (A/N: lame i know but then again it works and Truth or Dare is a lame way to get them together)
It was quiet for a bit, then we heard some noises that could only be described as snogging.
I gave the Extendable Ear back to Fred at exactly the same time asHarry gave his to George. Both of the twins looked mildly pleased and disgusted at the same time.
A few minutes later, Hermione and Ron came out of the kitchen and quickly sat back down in their seats.
The arrow landed on me.
"Dare" I said.
"I dare you to put 20 pillbugs in the pot of stew on the counter in the kitchen."
"uhhh… NO! I think I'll take truth instead. I mean, what if one of us forgets that they're in there and we eat it?"
"True. Have you ever gone out with someone?"
"Promise not to kill anyone?" seeing nods from Fred, George, and Ron, I continued. "Yes, I have. I went out with Dean last year."
The bucket glowed green, as I relaxed and stifled a yawn. I noticed that Hermione, Ron andHarry were stifling yawns occasionally, also.
I muttered spin, and the arrow landed on Harry.
"Dare." He said after a bit of hesitation.
Why did he hesitate? Maybe he's afraid of what I could do to him…
"Give me a sec." I leaned over to Fred and whispered, "okay, standin on the roof howlin like a wolf, anything else?"
Harrystarted to look very apprehensive about his dare.
Fred grinned evilly and whispered, "In his underwear. Duh!"
I must have blushed while grinning, because Hermione shot me a questioning look.
"I dare you to stand on the roof and howl like a wolf in your underwear."
Harry blushed, but he got up and started walking up the stairs.
"Where are you going, Harry?" asked Ron. "not trying to get off of the dare are you?"
"No." saidHarry blushing more. " I am going to the roof."
"Right. What are we all waiting for? Let's go!" said George jumping up.
When everyone else hesitated, he said, "You lot watched me it's only fair!"
At thatRon and Fred got up, but Helen excused her and I by saying, "we'll wait here. Make sure he does the dare."
Ron, Fred, and George nodded and ran up the stairs after Harry.
"Thanks, Hermione." I said. " I wasn't planning on him going through with the dare. I thought that he would think it was too embarassing, and he would ask for a truth."
"it's okay. I understand. I am amazed myself that he would do this." Said Hermione.
"what would you have asked him for a truth?" asked Hermione after a few minutes silence.
" I would have asked him if he had ever been kissed or kissed a girl." I said as we heard howling.
Hermione and I laughed.
Bloody hell! He actually did it!
A few minutes later, Ron, Fred and George came pounding down the stairs.
"You lot sound like a herd of elephants coming down the stairs!" I shouted up the stairs at them.
"Sorry." Muttered Ron as they came into the room and sat down.
A few minutes later Harry came dashing down the stairs and walked over to the only chair that did not have a person already sitting in it. Sitting down, he muttered 'Spin'.
The arrow landed on Fred, who promptly said dare.
" I dare you to put one of your 'sweets' in Remus' supper tomorrow at dinner."
" Okay, truth. That's too obvious that it was George or I."
"Fine then. How far have you gone with a girl?"
"HARRY!" Helen shrieked. " That's a bit personal. Don't you think?"
Fred blushed when Harry said that and to everyone's relief said, "Pass."
As soon as he said this, his left shoe disappeared.
"Well, this has been fun, but I think it's time for you lot to turn in." said George getting up to put away the 'bucket'.
Everyone groaned, but went upstairs to their rooms.
End Flashback
Everyone went upstairs to bed. Blah blah blah. Went to bed, woke up, was bored and did nothing. Blah blah blah.
Sorry about any mistakes. My mom doesn't like Hp and wouldn't approve of me writing this so i have to write it in code to save it on my computer. Then when it's loaded to fanfic, i change everything out of code to what it was supposed to be.
