Chapter Ten: Girls vs. Guys: The Truth of Dares


After unnecessary introductions were made, Mrs. Evans asked her daughters to show the guests to their rooms.

"Humph." Lily grunted, but started to lead the Marauderers to their rooms; obeying mostly because of the stare her mother gave her. Now, Lily was not a disobeying child—that is, not unless she had her mind set on something. For example, trying hard not to give into the voice inside her head telling her to go out with James Potter. "This way."

Lily picked the shortest route to the boys' bedrooms so as not to have to deal with them for very long. Though, she still had to endure James saying how fun it would be to spend Christmas with her, and Sirius asking if the twins' rooms were near his and James' rooms.

Unfortuanly for the twins, the two Marauderers' bedrooms were near the twins'—in the same wing. Mrs. Evans had gotten the rooms across from the girls' rooms all set for the boys, not knowing that they didn't get along that well.

'At least,' though Lily as she showed the boys their rooms, 'it's only for a few days.'

Across the house, Linzey was showing Mr. and Mrs. Potter where they would be sleeping. And, like Lily, she picked the shortest route. It was a good thing, too, because all the while Mrs. Potter was talking about how much she had read about the twins when James had sent her letters.


James' P.O.V.

Sirius and I were trying to find out where the kitchen was so we could go eat lunch when we hear two very familiar voices coming from a room down the hall.

"So are we going to do it?" Linzey asked.

"I think we should. I'd love to see the looks on those two's faces!" Lily relied.

"Great! So it's settled."

"Perfecto."

Knowing they were about to come out, I motioned for Sirius to retreat to the hallway we had come from so to look as though we just came by and never heard a thing. I wonder what they were talking about…a prank perhaps?

A small crash knocked my out of my thoughts as I saw Linzey and Sirius on the floor; Sirius positioned on top of her. Whether he had deliberately bumped into her or not, I have no earthly idea.

"BLACK, YOU BETTER GET OFF OF ME THIS INSTANCE!" Linzey screamed, somewhat muffled by the boy on top of her.

"Hmm…I'm not sure if I wanna."

"BLACK! IF YOU DON'T GET OFF OF ME RIGHT NOW I'LL—."

"You'll what?" Good ol' Sirius, never knowing when to stop. After all this time around the Evans Twins, he still hasn't figured out not to get them too awfully mad.

"BLACK!"

All the sudden Sirius was hanging upside down. Looking over at Lily…oh, I wish she'd go out with me…I saw that her wand was out. Hmm…we aren't allowed to do magic outside of school…this must be one of those protected houses where the Ministry doesn't know.

Abruptly, I was upside down as well. "HEY! LET ME DOWN! I didn't do anything!"

"Thanks mate, I really feel loved." Sirius sarcastically said beside me.

"Oh, yeah—AND SIRIUS TOO!"

Lily was the one to reply—Linzey was still attempting to get all of Sirius' 'germs' off of her. Hey—Lily even looks good upside down! "Hmm…how 'bout NO." A mischievous smirk appeared on her face.

"Enjoy hanging around, boys." Linzey's smirk matched her sisters as they disappeared around the corner.

"HELP, HELP! We're so going to die! Too much blood rushing to your head is a VERY bad thing! OH MY GOSH! HELP, HELP!" Sirius yelled as he realized our situation.

"Er—Sirius, mate—we have wands." I told by worried friend.

"Oh, right." Sirius and I began the process of trying to get our wands without dropping them, considering we were upside down.

Disappointingly, as if on cue, the Evans Twins reappeared around the corner and in one swift motion of Lily's wand, our wands were in the hand of the two twins.

"Shame, shame. You know you aren't allowed to use magic outside of school." Lily said, clutching my wand in her free hand.

"Oh, well, I guess you will just have to miss lunch." Linzey smirked. Sirius' and my eyes widened.

Laughing, Linzey disappeared around the corner again followed by a laughing Lily who winked at us.

"We're going to STARVE!" Sirius shrieked dramatically. "STARVE! I can't believe that I'm going to st—OWWW!

Sirius fell on the floor and I followed. "Must be a payback for that frog incident." To our dismay, we saw that the Evans Twins had taken our wands with them.

"Yeah, I guess." responded Sirius, "Now lets go EAT!" My best friend skipped down the hall. I ran after him.

You know, instead of hating Lily Evans, this just made me like her more. She defiantly has the gift of pranking, which I have never seen in a girl before—especially one such as pretty as she was.

Hopefully Sirius and I would find our way to the kitchen in time to eat…


3rd Person P.O.V.

Lily and Linzey were sitting on Lily's bed late that night.

"Gosh, I am so freakin' bored!" Lily, who was in a sitting position, laid back on her bed, exasperated.

"Me too!" Linzey followed the example of her twin and fell backwards on the bed.

Just then the door opened, and the two twins bolted upright. "Sirius Black and James Potter, at your service. Your world will never be bored with us around." Sirius Black was in the doorway with his best mate, James Potter.

Lily snorted, "No it will never be boring just annoying. What is it that you're going to do to save us from boredom."

"Yeah, it must be something real interesting." Linzey said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Truth or Dare." James countered.

"Ohhh…lets!" Lily said, after a moment thought. Only Linzey saw the smile on Lily's face that only meant she had a prank in mind, for James and Sirius were too shocked to notice anything but Lily agreeing with them. "Be right back." Lily quickly left the room in the direction of…her dad's potion room?

After a few minutes of the three sitting (or standing in the boys case) Lily came back with four glasses in her hands. She gave it to each of the three that had been waiting and kept one for yourself.

"What is this stuff?" Sirius asked, inspecting the bizarre drink.

"It makes you tell the truth."

"Interesting…" Sirius looked once more at the drink and gulped it down. Everyone else followed, Lily still smirking.


"Lily, truth or dare?" It was Sirius' turn in the game.

"Dare."

"Hmm…I dare you to call James by his first name."

"Is that all you can do?" Lily snickered.

"Well, um—Fine. I dare you to kiss James. HA!"

Lily breathed deeply. "Fine." Everyone's eyes opened wide, even her sister's. "What? I'm not going to turn coward on a dare!"

She walked around the bed to where James had already stood up. 'He must be so excited. Gosh, why did I agree to this?' 'Because you like him' a voice inside her head said. 'No I don't! Wait—why am I talking to myself? I got a dare to finish! Well, here goes nothing…'

And she kissed James Potter; of all the people in the world she kissed him! It was her first kiss, and she didn't even mean it. 'Oh yes, you did!' that voice inside her head said again. 'No, I didn't!' 'Sure, that's why you're blushing!' said the voice.

It was true. When she had pulled away from their kiss, Lily was indeed blushing. However, so was James. She quickly went and sat back down in her usual spot by Linzey. 'Well, even if I did mean it, Ja-Potter sure didn't! Did I just almost call him James? Oh, Merlin, I'm going crazy again!'

"Potter, truth or dare?" Lily began, ignoring what her mother said about calling the boys by their first name. On a normal basis she would obey her mother, but she didn't want anyone to think that she enjoyed kissing James.

"Dare."

Lily smirked. "I dare you to go tell everyone downstairs that you wet the bed, and you can't say that it's a dare."

James eyes grew wide.

"So…?"

"That's rough, Lily." Sirius said.

"Oh, and you should be one to be talking!" Lily said.

"Fine." James got up from the bed and began walking in the direction of the living room. Everyone else followed.

"Um, mum…"

"Yes, James."

"Um…" James looked over at Lily and the others. "I-I wet the bed." His face turned scarlet.

"What?" Mrs. Potter said, astonished. The rest of the parents looked stunned.

"Um…well…er…."

Laughter filled the stairs where the rest of the group was eavesdropping. "Oh my gosh!" a voice said. "I can't believe he did it!" Lily, Linzey, and Sirius appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

"That was priceless!" said Lily through her laughter, tears in her eyes.

Sirius, who was on the floor laughing, started to tease James by saying; "Jamesie wet the bed, Jamesie wet the bed!" while Linzey was laughing so hard that she couldn't say a thing.

This went on four a moment or so until Mr. Potter, regaining his composure for he too had been laughing, told the four to head back upstairs. So, the group of four trudged back up the stairs, three of them still chuckling and one still blushing deep scarlet.

"Linzey, truth or dare?" James asked when they were back in Lily's room, still blushing from the incident downstairs.

"Hmm…I'm going to pick truth."

"Truth, okay, do you like Sirius?"

'Oh My Gosh! I'm going to have to answer this because of that—wait a second…wouldn't I had have to say the answer already? Oh, Lily does have smarts in her. Well, Sirius Black, you'll never know the true answer.' "Nope" Linzey said out loud, acting as serious as she could, considering she wasn't as good as lying as her sister.

Sirius' face fell somewhat, but only Lily noticed. 'Hmm…'

"Er, Sirius: Truth or dare?" inquired Linzey.

"Truth."

"Okay…why are you staying with the Potters for the holidays?"

On any other occasion Sirius would have said something different; he really didn't want the twins to know the answer to that question. But, he was 'under the influence' of the truth potion, so he had to say the truth. "Because I decided I didn't want to go home; I hate my family." He responded flatly.

Lily and Linzey raised their eyebrows, but didn't say a word. The only other regionition that they had heard anything was when they gave each other that look twins give each other to say they know what the other is thinking. So, with no further questions the game trekked on.

"James. Pick one."

"Um…Truth, since I haven't done that one yet."

"How much do you like Lily Evans?" Sirius questioned his best friend.

Honestly, James would not have answered him truthfully if he had not been off guard or 'under the influence' of the potion. "I really, really, really like Lily!" He told the group.

Lily raised her eyebrows in surprise. 'He really does like me.' She thought, astounded. 'I can't believe this! James Potter actually likes me! But, if I don't like him, than why do I feel somewhat excited?' 'Its because you like him.' 'There's that voice again. I don't like him…do I?'

Not wanting to be put on the spotlight for a second time, James got the game going again. "Okay, Lily, truth or dare?"

"Hmm…Truth."

"Okay, Why won't you go out with me?"

The girl in question thought for a moment, glad that the truth potion she had drank was only a mixture of food coloring and water. In reality, she didn't want to go out with him because she didn't want to admit that she really liked James. "Because you're an arrogant prat who annoys me to no end."

James' face fell and this time, unlike Sirius', it was noticeable. "Oh."

"So, Linzey, truth or dare?" Lily asked, quickly changing the subject.

"Dare."

"Hmm…I dare you to kiss Black."

"WHAT! That is so unfair!"

Lily shrugged. "I had to kiss Potter, so you gotta kiss Black."

Linzey gave in, knowing that it would be too hard to mess with the top-of-the-class-in-Charms. "Fine."

After the dare was finished, Linzey was blushing darker than her hair (Sirius was blushing somewhat, too). "Black: Truth or dare?"

"HEY! You kissed me and you still are calling me Black?"

"Shut up and pick one."

"Hmm…Dare." Sirius said, positive that Linzey couldn't come up with a dare that would be too hard. Although, when he saw Linzey's smirk he immediately though otherwise.

"I dare you to go up to my mum and tell her that you're in love with her. And, you can't say it's a dare."

Lily matched her sister's smirk. "Good one, Liz."

Sirius just sat there, dumbfounded, and wonderered why the girls dares could not have been better ones. Not that he cared too much since Linzey kissed him.

Sirius really didn't want to do this—he didn't even know the lady—but he had his dignity. "Fine. I-I'll do it." With his head held high, though inside he was sulking, Sirius went off to tell Mrs. Evans about his 'love' for her. He didn't even know the lady! Everyone else followed, letting giggles slip every few seconds, and once again positioned themselves on the stairs.

Mrs. Evans was sitting in her chair (thankfully, in Sirius' case, alone) reading a book. "Er—Mrs. Evans?" Sirius started, already starting to turn scarlet.

"Yes, Sirius?" Mrs. Evans turned to face the nervous, blushing boy.

Sirius quickly turned into the-boy-who-gets-all-the-girls. "Mrs. Evans…ever since I saw you yesterday I knew my heart belonged to you!" Sirius began dramatically as Mrs. Evans sat there flabbergasted. "You are so beautiful that you make butterflies appear in my stomach. You—."

Laughter. More laughter. All from the stairs. "I. Think. You. Can. Stop. Now." Linzey said between laughs, appearing at the bottom of the stairs.

"Yeah. I. Don't. Wanna. Know. What. Else. You. Will. Say. About. Mum." Lily emerged beside her sister, tears appearing in her eyes.

Suddenly, James came tumbling down the stairs (he had been laughing so hard that he'd lost his balance). Everyone laughed, while the people who were already laughing just doubled.

After Mrs. Evans (who had not been laughing) finally got the four to stop laughing, she made them go back upstairs to bed. As they all reluctantly started up the stairs, Mrs. Evans heard moans of protest. It was just like those four not to want to go to bed.
