I do not in any shape or form own Harry Potter or the characters found within. I bow to the brilance of JK Rowling.
At first glance the Grifindor common room looked empty but upon further inspection you could see silhouettes sitting by the fire. "What are you guys doing up its two in the morning?"
"Hey Hermione, well the rest of us couldn't sleep." Voiced Ron
"Yeah I guess we are to excited for the goblet tomarrow." Piped in Ginny
"Hey do you guys want to play a game since we are already all awake?" Questioned George and Fred at the same time.
"Hey that is a great idea" answered Harry. Hermione was leary last time she played a game with this group namely Fred and George they had played murder and Fred had somehow killed her and smeared something on her neck moments later she was covered in purple ichy goose bumps. They hadn't gone away for three days so it was understandable to not jump at the chance.
"I don't know guys we are suppose to be in bed and we don't want to get into trouble."
"Come on hermione" whinned Ron, smiling in an only Ron way. Why is it that that smile melted her, with that smile he could make her do anything.(Not that he knew that.)
"Alright but we are NOT playing murder anything but that."
"Great how about a game of truth and dare?"
"No Fred please no."
"Hermione you did say anything plus everyone else wants to play we were going to play when you decided to join us."
"Fine I will play but be nice." Giving both Fred and George the look that expressed her seiousness of the matter she joined the circle by th fire place. "So who is going to start this non sence?"
"Well how about George asks and I'll go first?" Smiling George agreed.
"So Fred truth or dare?"
"Brother do you ever need to ask? Dare!"
George sat in silence for a moment and then began "Fred, I dare you to go out the portraite hole and push over a suit of armor, making Filch come a running." With out another word Fred stood and left the circle leaving the common room. Fallowed shortly by the clatter of a falling suit of armor. Then Fred reamerged into the common room.
"Well brother I did you one better I covered the suit of armor in Lime acid juice. Who ever touches the suit of armor will be blessed with swelling limes as fingers. Now who is next?" Sitting back down he turned to Harry who was sitting right next to him. "Harry truth or dare?"
"Umm how about truth."
"Well then Harry if you would please tell us how you truly feel about Cho it would be grand." Harry's face flushed as quickly as the words had registered. Harry looked at Fre in utter shock "yes Harry we know that you like her so please inlighten us."
"Umm..." Harry was looking around the room stalling for time. "I like her she is really pretty. And um I am going to ask her to the ball." Cheers erupted through out the small group fallowed by "good for you Harry" and "way to be." Harry breathed in a breath of relief and turned his attention to Ron "truth or dare mate?"
"Truth." Ron said matter of factly.
"Ah you guys are boring were is your Weasley balls bro?"
"Shove it George. Like I said truth." Harry looks at Ron smiling as if understanting completly Ron shouted "no Harry anything but that you promised, you swore you would never tell a soul. Come on mate, please don't."
"Hey if I don't say it I'm tequniclly not saing it you are!"
"Please Harry don't make me say it."
"Ron tell the truth who do you think is prettier Hermione or Savanna Dunkon from Ravenclaw?" Ron sighed in relief, what ever Ron didm't want to say hadn't been asked.
"Hermione. " With out missing a beat he turned to Ginny "Truth or dare?"
"Dare" Ron smiled from ear to ear.
"I dare you to go over and kiss Harry." The color drained from both Ginny's face and Harry's. But not wanting to loose face in front of her brothers she got up and stood in front of Harry leaning in she kissed Harry's cheek. "Hey thats not fair!"
"Yes it is" Ginny said matter of factly. "You never specified where or how I was to kiss him so I kissed him did I not?" Hermione was smiling inwardly leave it to Ginny to find a loop hole in something like this. "Hermione truth or dare?"
"Truth, I know I am safe with you lot with that."
"Okay Hermione if you would please descibe your most embarresing moment." Suddenly protests broke out.
"What kind of truth is that Ginny?"
"What a waste."
"Couldn't you think of anything else?"
"Well my most embaressing moment would be one day in Herbology when we were working on lizapodamoss and well we were suppose to be popping the spores on them and sucking the puss out but I thought we were suppose to be cutting them. So I started sutting them instead I didn't relieze what I was doing wrong untill 15 minutes into the lesson and I had to ask for a new lizapodamoss."
"BORING" shouted George.
"Well lets see you do better then. Truth or Dare George?"
"Need you ask? Dare."
"I dare you tomarrow to ware Ginny school uniform all day. Make up, stockings, heels and all."
Laughter broke out "bravo Hermione."
"Good one." George's face dropped.
"And if I don't?"
"Then you have to profess your undieing love to Professor McGonigal tomarrow morning in front of everyone at breakfast and sing her a love song, telling her how beatiful she is and that you can't waite till she agrees to elope with you." Laughter broke out again.
"Hemione how do you come up with these things?"
"Muggle born Ron, trust me I have played my share of truth or dare. Well George what is your decision?"
"I'll wear the dress, for the sake of Merline, I can't believe what you are making me do. Okay I say we turn this around now. Hermione truth or dare?"
"Why not dare I did truth last time." George smiled to him self.
"Hermione I want you to please stand and recite the wizarding law backwards while doing a dance on the table. But you have to have it set to song."
"Are you sure that you want the whole wizarding law? Its pretty long."
"Oh alright just the last paragraph."
Hermione rose and stood on the table and began to dance reciting the wizarding law word for word in an all to Hermioneish way.
"Satisfied George?"
"Umm yeah that was great."
"Well Ginny truth or dare?"
"How about truth."
"If you had the choice of snogging any boy in school who would it be?"
"Well..." Ginny thought for a while "definatly Malfoy" ginny spoke sarcasticly knowing the reaction that she would get.
"What you would want to snog Malfoy he is a total prat and plus he hates you he thinks were blood traitors remember?"
"Chill out Ron I was only joking I think it would be my boyfriend."
"What you have a boyfriend?"
"No but I will..." Everyone laughed and Ron Ginny continued the discussion. "Ron truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Well then I dare you to please snog Hermione. Not just a quick snogg but a good solid snog right on the lips."
"Wow umm no."
"Then you have to go to breakfast strak naked." Ron's face paled as he waighed him options and then he decided "fine." Standing up he grabbed Hermione's hand and lead her to the corner where he was whispering "Listen Hermione. I'm sorry about this but I really don't want to show the whole school everything I got." With that he bent his head and ever so gently placed his lips on hers. Her lips were soft and perfect. It seemed as if that was exactly were they belonged. Once the kiss began there was no stopping it. It encompassed there whole beings and it felt so right. What had taken them so long to get to this point. Lip to lip there inexperience led them further.
With each passing moment the kiss grew in speed and passion as if they were tring to make up for lost time. "Hey you two! I didn't say eat eachother." Laughter broke out but they didn't pay attention untill finally they broke apart to out of breath to continue. Looking at one another there cheeks rushed into a firy red. What had they just done?
"Umm sorry about that Hermione."
"Yeah me to. Umm I need to go to be." With that she dashed up the stair case leading to the girls dormatry. Why had she been so stupid as to get involved in that game? Things were definatly going to be acward between them. It took a long time for sleep to finally come, but when it did she was greatfull.
Then next morning she rose and was heading down to breakfast when she saw Ron. Her checks flushed and the fears from the night before returned. Why had she been so stupid? Why had he kissed her like that? Or rather why had she kissed him back?
Just then she caught sight of George dressed for the part, make up and all heading out of the portrate hole picking his seat. "Aparently the tights don't fit properly do they?"
"Not aparently not, Hermione how did you do it? I have been trying for years to get him to do that and I haven't been able to yet."
"Ron it takes a woman."
"Apparently, umm Hermione I;m sorry about last night it never should have happened and I am sorry. Forgive me?"
"Yes I forgive you, but yoiu do know that I am as guilty as you because you were kissing me and I kissed you right back."
"I know but I thought it should be me to appalagize."
"Well thank you Ron. Friends?"
"Friends"
"Good now lets go watch George make a laughing stalk of himself shall we?"
