Chapter 15: Dangerous games.

1 week after 'the incident' the Gryffindor common room was still an extremely quite area. The once most popular boys in the lion house were now looked upon as lower than Slytherins. They had gone and lost their house all of their points, putting them last in the inter-house cup. Because of them, Gryffindor had no chance to win the quidditch cup, and they had lost the last game of the season to Hufflepuff! Nobody would give the marauders or their girlfriends the time of day. They didn't find their pranks funny, they didn't laugh at their jokes, they trip jinxed them in the corridors, they made sure that the six of them were outcasts.

It was best for the six of them if they stayed out of the common room, stayed at the end of the dinner table and made sure to stay out the way of every pissed off Gryffindor.

Out of all of them Sirius took it the hardest. He loved the attention he used to get, lapping up the cheers from the pranks, bowing and making a show of himself, doing the most outrageous stunts. But now he couldn't do anything. Nothing.

'I am so bored! I don't think I've ever been this bored in the entire life!'

James, who was currently laying on his bed, playing with the snitch he got for his birthday (think of how it was described in OOTP) sat up and looked over to his distressed best friend.

'Padfoot, man, shut up! All we ever hear is you complaining!'

'But I'm bored!'

James rolled his eyes and flopped back on to the bed.

'Amaya! Please tell your boyfriend to shut up before I kill him.'

Hermione, who was also in the boys dormitory, reading with Remus, looked up from her copy of 'History through the ages : Dark Wizards of the 18th century' and gazed over at her exasperated boyfriend.

'Hunny, why don't you read something?'

'Ha! When does Sirius ever read anything?'

Everybody turned to the fiery red head who just came through the door with the Nicole.

'Shut up Lily, I do read!'

'The Quidditch Weekly doesn't count.'

Sirius turned a shade of pink as everybody laughed at him. He pouted like a three year old and cross his arms over his chest. Hermione, felling sorry for him, got up from the floor where she sat with Remus and made her way over to Sirius.

She sat down next to him and kissed his cheek.

'Don't worry baby, I know you read.'

Sirius wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.

'I'm still bored!'

'Sirius we are all bored!'

'Why don't we play a game?'

Everybody turned to face Nicole, their eyes gleaming with mischief, it had been a while since they played any sort of game.

'Why don't we have a game of truths?'

Hermione shifted slightly in Sirius's arms and replied confused.

'Why not dares as well?'

'Well we'd end up kissing each others boyfriends or girlfriends.'

Still confused Hermione asked.

'So? Why not? It would be fun.'

'Yeah I agree it would be a laugh.'

Remus stared shocked at his girlfriend sitting next to him.

'You guys are no fun!'

James sat wide eyed at what his girlfriend had just said.

None of the guys had thought the girls would actually suggest partner swapping. And there was no way in hell that they were going to let it happen.

Remus, finally snapping out of his shock, replied to the three eager girls.

'You three can't be serious?'

'Of course we are!' cried Lily.

'Yeah I always wondered what James kisses like.'

Lily glanced at the other two girls, a sly grin crept onto her features.

'Well why don't we swap for tonight? I get Sirius, Nic you get James and Amaya you get Remus?'

'Yeah ok.'

'Sure.'

The shock and horror across the three guys faces as priceless. This was like some twisted nightmare for them. Their girlfriends actually suggesting that they go off and kiss their best friends girlfriends.

Lily, Nicole and Hermione began to rise from their places next to their boyfriends, the sudden movement from them must have sparked the boys out of their stunned daze, because the second they felt the loss of contact next to them, they jumped and grabbed hold of the girls, pinning them beneath them on the bed.

The girls not being able to contain their laughter anymore, let it loose.

Hermione looked up and her boyfriend who had her pinned down on his bed. Between laughing and breathing, she managed to get out

'y-y-you g-guy-s-s-s are s-s-s-o g-gul-l-a-b-b-le!'

From across the room, Remus got the same response.

'W-w-w-e g-g-ot y-y-ou again!'

James looked down at Lily, who was laughing along with them.

'You weren't serious about kissing my best mate?'

'Of course not silly, I love you.'

'I love you too!'

Beaming, James bent his head down and caught Lily in a intense kiss.

Once they broke apart they found that the other two couples were watching them.

'Right - so are we going to play a game of truths then?'

Sirius smirked and reached into his bedside unit and pulled out half a dozen vials of versiterium.

Hermione gasped next to him.

'Where did you get those?'

'Mya sweetheart, I really don't think you want to know.'

Hermione gave him a disapproving look, he re-assured her by lightly kissing her lips, and turned back to the group.

'Right, there is one each, but only enough to answer one question each. So, James gets to asks Remus, I ask James then Remus can ask me. Same direction for the girls.'

Sirius passed everyone a single vial. Everybody looked at Remus, he was first. He sighed and drank the whole thing in one gulp. His eyes clouded over and his body began rigid.

James smirked,

'Remus, what do you really think of me and Sirius?'

'James is a complete and utter prat. -'

Across the room Sirius laughed.

' - But Sirius is a bigger one.-'

This time it was James turn to laugh.

'- However I couldn't ask for two more fantastic best friends ever. They are loyal and true and I love them like they are my brothers.'

The three girls awwed and Remus came out of his trance. He looked at the two boys slightly pink in the cheeks.

'We love you too man.'

'Yeah, love you moony.'

James drank his vial and his eyes glazed over.

'James my man, why is there a little yellow duck in your trunk?'

'Because I like to have a bath my ducky.'

Laughter exploded throughout the room. Even when James came out of his trance he joined in with the infectious laughing.

'My turn!'

Sirius downed the clear liquid, and just like Remus and James, ended up in a trance like state.

'Sirius, when and where was your most inappropriate hard on?'

The four spectators including Hermione laughed at the embarrassing questions.

'In potions when I was partnered with Amaya, she was leaning over the cauldron and I could see right down her shirt, she had this pink lacy bra on.'

Hermione flushed, the other four were laughing at her expression and of Sirius's triumphant smirk when he came out of his trance.

'You never told me you could see down my shirt!'

She swatted his arm and turned away embarrassed.

'Come on baby, I couldn't help it!'

He wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her neck. All the embarrassing hostility she had towards him washed away in an instant.

'Alright! Now that the guys have gone its you girls' turn!'

Lily, Nicole and Hermione paled considerably. They knew that each other wouldn't be that cruel, but they didn't want to reveal anything that the guys could use later on.

Nicole was first, she eyed the vial and in one swoop it was gone.

'How do you really feel about Remus?'

'I love him more than anything in the world.'

Remus was shocked to say the least. When Nicole came out of her trance she turned to Remus eyes wide in shock. Instead of returning her scared look, his smiled and kissed her, then whispering into her ear he told her he felt the same. She visibly relaxed and snuggled closer into his arms.

'Come on babe it's your turn.'

Lily, who looked the most scared closed her eyes, pinched her nose and knocked back the vial.

'Who was your worst kiss?' asked Hermione

'Amos Diggory, he uses way to much tongue.'

Behind her James' face was a cross between, shock, hurt and anger.

'I never knew you went out with Diggory?'

'I didn't, I kissed him for a dare.'

'um.'

'James baby it was in fourth year and it meant nothing.'

Whether or not James was satisfied with her answer it was hard to tell, but he tightened his grip on her hand.

Finally it was Hermione's turn and she was extremely nervous. She didn't know what Nicole was going to ask her, and being under the influence of the truth serum she didn't know what she would end up revealing. She toyed with the vial nervously before pouring it down her throat.

'Ok Amaya, nothing to hard, who would you class as your best girlfriends and guy friends?'

'Lily Evans, Nicole O'Conner and Ginny Weasley, James Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter.'

Harry Potter

'Harry Potter? My- my son?'

'No! Stop! James she can't answer that!'

Hermione snapped out of her daze and was horrified at what she said.

A.N That's it! I'm not writing any more for this chapter! That's your lot! I hope that was a horrible cliff hanger for you!
