A/N: hi, I'm back after my vacation! woot, was muy fun! (ha) I was in Cape May (WoOt- the Taco Bar!), and I got inspired for more stuff in this story which is good, because I was running out of ideas... heh. So, I thank my reviewers, and to all who reviewed my other story! yay! To all of you here are a bunch of cyber-cookie-things! YAY! Um, there is some shameless plugging in this chapter, forgive me, I could not resist plugging my other story. --smiles-- (oh and please forgive me if Hagrid does not speak with his accent, I'm sorry I have a problem writing like that, so just imagine it, thanks.) Oh and I'm sorry I had to get this whole thing rollign and I'm using truth or dare, sorry if you hate the game, but enjoy the chapter. --smiles--

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Harry Potter- those belong to JKR, and I also do not own the songs mentioned in this chapter. --smiles--

Claimer: HA! I own the cat mentioned in this chapter, and I owned the other one but she died, my pen name is dedicated to her. (I know technically the cats belong to my parents but still, Andy's my BABY! Erm... now on with the story!) ENJOY!

Last Line from the Last Chapter:

"Sure, why not," Oliver stood up, and they left, along with the twins, to head down to Hagrid's Hut.

---------------------

On the way there Bumbery insisted on her tradition of walking to Higrid's Hut whilst doing the cha-cha and singing muggle songs, must be followed. So, the three boys joined the girl dancing and singing songs like, 'I'm a Little Tea Cup', 'C'est La Vie', 'Graduation', and 'Mambo Number 5'. During which Oliver was transfixed on the swaying of Bumbery's hips, of course he also felt like an idiot for dancing himself, but that's besides the point.

When they reached Hagrid's Hut, she did her ceremonial knock, consisting of two sharp raps, then three slow ones. Hagrid opened the door and received a hug from Bumbery who yelled, "BRUCE!"

Hagrid smiled, then asked, "What are you doin ere? I didn't know you were comin back!"

"Well, I just had to visit my favorite keeper of keys and game keeper."

"Ah, well, would you like a cuppa of tea?"

"That'd be great Bruce old buddy!" Bumbery took a seat and Oliver sat on her left, Fred on her right and George next to Fred. After sipping hot tea for a few moments, Bumbery said cooly, "I see you still have Fang," nodding to the giant boarhound, who was sitting with his head in George's lap.

"Yea, and I assume you still have those two damn-"

"AHEM!"

"Sorry, those two cats, what were their names…?"

"Their names are Asterisk and Ampersand," she said through gritted teeth, and pursed her lips afterwards. You see choice in pets was the only thing that Hagrid and Bumbery disagreed on, of course it was mostly a friendly disagreement, friendly on Hagrid standards, but otherwise the two go along.

"How are the little buggers?"

"They're doing pretty good, Andy is much more sociable than Risky, and he likes to go outside, they're almost opposites."

"Ah."

"How's Buckbeak?" After she said that, he looked happy about the change of subject.

"Well, Buckbeak escaped after almost being executed, but if you wanna ask about Witherwings that's a different story."

"Ah," Bumbery said, catching on, "How is Witherwings?"

As soon as she asked, Hagrid launched into a long explination about all of his pets, during which Oliver looked bored and hungry, as many hours had passed since breakfast.

"Um, Bruce, I think we have to go, you know so we can eat lunch."

"Yeah Hagrid, we got to go," the twins said simultaneously, Oliver just nodded.

Hagrid said, "Oh, alright, I'll see ya'll around."

The four students stood up, they headed to the door, but Bumbery stopped, "OH! I almost forgot, I got this for you," she said taking out a leather-bound book and handing it to him, "It has pictures from our field trip to the Bronx Zoo, all of the muggle animals and stuff."

Hagrid smiled, "Thanks a lot dearie."

"See you around Bruce!" She called, waving as she left the hut.

"Bye Hagrid," The twins said following Bumbery's example, and Oliver waved at the half-giant and followed this three friends back up to the castle.

------------------------

When the three entered the hall, it was full with students eating their lunch. Hermione was busy reading some sort of book-like pamphlet, something like, 'What You Really Didn't Need to Know,' or something like that. The four sat down and ate lunch discussing some random things, school was one of the subjects along with pranks.

When the Gryffindors had finished eating, they all headed up to the common room.

"Us girls are going to have a pampering kind of afternoon," Bumbery said while starting up the stairs to the girl's dorm, "You you guys at dinner, okay?"

The guys mumbled some 'yeah's and 'see you later's while the six girls headed to the seventh year dorm room.

- - -

"So," Katie said while polishing her toenails, "How's it going with you and George, Alicia?"

"Pretty good," she mumbled through the bathroom door.

"Ah, young love," Bumbery said wistfully, but was hit over the head with a pillow, courtesy of Angelina, after she recovered, she asked, "Do you have a thing for Fred?"

"NO," she said all to quickly, "The day I have a thing for Fred Weasley, is the day I become a Goth," and since Angelina had no hopes of becoming a Goth, they all took that as a sign, of what I do not no, but still a sign.

"So Ginny, did ever think about highlighting your hair?" Bumbery asked while braiding it.

"Erm, no, not really, besides Mum would kill me if I changed my hair, she's all about 'showing and respecting your heritage', it's quite annoying really, I mean sure, I'm part Irish, but people can know that about me without my having bright red hair," the other girls nodded their heads sympathetically.

"Yeah, I know how it feels, my Mum is all about my African heritage, I respect it and all, but I'm also English for goodness sakes," Angelina said, shaking her head.

"Well, Ginny, we can highlight your hair and make it a more subtle orange color," Bumbery offered.

"Sure, I don't think Mum can be offended if I just make it so it doesn't clash horribly with everything."

"Sure, let's get started," So while Bumbery was highlighting Ginny's hair, Hermione and Katie were having a whispered conversation.

"I'm just not sure I can tell him how I feel," Hermione said, frustrated.

"Trust me," Katie patted her on the back, "It's better if you do, because when a guy hears a pretty girl likes him, he just starts to like her too," to that Hermione smiled, but it faltered.

"But how do I tell him?"

- - -

After a long afternoon of pampering and relaxing, and a delicious dinner, the ten Gryffindors and two former Gryffindors sat down in the common room.

"I'm bored, let's do something," Bumbery whined, her hair now electric blue, "Like blow up a toilet or something I don't care."

"Sorry, but the toilet thing has been done already," Fred said laughing.

"Alright, but what else is there to do on a Saturday evening with twelve people?"

"Truth or Dare," Harry suggested.

"AH! You're brilliant Pot!" Bumbery squealed, "So let's all get in a circle," the other's obliged to her request and sat in a circle, "And let's start with…Trish, truth or dare?"

"Truth," Oliver sighed.

"Do you still have the stack of fashion magazines hidden under your bed?"

"Uh, yeah," Oliver's face reddened slightly, but not that much, what he liked to look at the pictures!

Fred and George snickered, and Oliver sighed.

"Okay then, truth or dare Fred?" Oliver asked.

"Dare, Oliver."

"OH!" Bumbery squealed and beckoned Oliver over, "I have a really good dare," Then she whispered it in this ear.

Oliver nodded, "I dare you to proclaim your undying love for the next person who enters this room," He said.

The next person was, of course, McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall," He started, "I can not keep it a secret any longer- I LOVE YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL!" The rest of the group was trying to contain their laughter, but they stopped when McGonagall spoke.

"That's enough Mr. Weasley," the professor said while picking the student up from the ground where he had collapsed, "I see you have been playing truth or dare with Ms. Bumbery again," she knew this of course because it was Bumbery's trademark to ask the first person to do a dare, to profess their undying love for the next person who entered the room.

As the Professor left Bumbery said, "See you around Professor," then burst into fits of giggles.

After all of them had recovered from the McGonagall incident, Fred looked to Hermione, "Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Who do you have a crush on?"

"Erm…" Hermione reddened, "Uh…hermronremerah…" she mumbled.

Ron and Hermione's faces turned extreme red colors.

"Truth or Dare Ginny?" Hermione said quickly, trying to cover her embarrassment.

"Truth, I guess."

"What was your most embarrassing moment?"

"Ugh," Ginny sighed, "Well, once I had this crush of a guy, one of my brother's friends, and he heard me professing my love to him in my mirror."

They all laughed a little, but George laughed the most, which ticked Ginny off.

"George," she said with a smirk, "Truth or dare?"

"I'm a man, so I'll take the dare."

"I dare you, to kiss Bumbery for uh… ten seconds."

George gulped, "Erm, alright then," He leaned in to kiss her, and when it was over, he was glad to realize, he had absolutely no feelings for her, in that way. So he made his way back to his spot and kissed Alicia on the cheek, and gave her a hug, telling her all she needed to know.

"Alrighty then, ickle-ronnie-kins truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to sing, 'I Feel Pretty' from West side story, as loudly as you can at the Gryffindor table at breakfast tomorrow."

"Okay, but how does it go?"

"It's the one that goes," Bumbery explained, "I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright, and I pity any girl who isn't me tonight, etcetera," while she sang she did hand motions just to piss off Ron, (what she was bored!)

"Oh," Ron said, looking disappointed on having to sing a girl's song, "Truth or Dare Angelina?"

"Dare," Angelina smirked.

"I dare you to be gothic for a day, starting now."

Ironic, Bumbery thought, considering what she said earlier today.

"Alright," She changed into all black clothing, made her skin pale and her nails and make up black, then said, "All souls will rot in Hell in the end."

"Okay then," Ron said nervously.

"Truth or Dare Lee?" Angelina spat.

"Truth."

"Were you a virgin before Katie?"

"Uh, no," Lee said sheepishly.

"Who was it?"

"Does that count as part of the truth?" The others nodded, "Fuck," Lee mumbled, then said, "It was, um, that Ravenclaw girl Marietta."

The others looked a little shocked, but they let it pass.

"So, Alicia, Truth or dare?"

"When were you first able to tell Fred and George apart?"

"Erm, when I said something to the wrong one by mistake."

"What did you say?"

"It was a congratulations for a good grade in potions, meant for George, but I said it to Fred by mistake, who got a really bad grade and got really pissed at me. Then I saw George who wasn't mad at me and I noticed a scar on his left ear, so that's how you can tell just by a glance."

"Okay then," Lee said, a little disappointed that it wasn't more embarrassing.

"Kates, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to use no beauty products for a week, besides the most plain of soaps and shampoos."

Katie gasped, "Oh no! Really?" Alicia nodded, "Alright." Alicia smiled wickedly.

"Harry, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Have you ever had a gay fantasy?"

"No," Harry said truthfully.

"Alright then, the first no of the evening, ladies and gents," Katie said cheekily.

"Okay, since Bumbery is the only one left, truth or dare?"

"Dare," She said with a wicked smile.

"Alright, I dare you to… kiss Oliver for at least ten seconds."

"Okay," she turned to him and kissed him on the lips, his arms around her waist, her arms around his neck.

Is it just me or is there more feeling in this kiss then the one she and George shared? Oliver wondered.

The tow broke apart when Fred said, "Times up mate."

Bumbery stood up and said, "Well, it's been fun but I'm tired," and went up to bed.

Katie yawned and followed her cousin up the stairs, and the other girls left in similar fashion.

Finally it was just the guys, Oliver, Lee, Harry, Ron, and the twins. Lee stood up and said, "Night all!" and left.

Harry and Ron mumbled something about quidditch tomorrow, and all who were left was, Fred George and Oliver.

"So Oliver, how's life been treating you?" Fred asked, leaning back in his chair.

"Eh, it's been fine, doing nothing special though."

"Really, quite interesting mate. Have you been keeping in touch with Bumbery since you graduated?" George asked.

"Um, not really, an occasional card on the holidays, but that's about it."

"Really?" Fred arched an eyebrow.

"Why are you asking anyway?" Oliver snapped.

"No reason, except you two seemed pretty cozy," George nodded. Then the twins stood up and left, leaving Oliver alone with his thoughts.
