Summary:
Best friends Hermione, Ron and Ginny are playing a game. What one game could become very deadly? Will one game of Truth or Dare turn them into virtual enemies? What will the dares be? Who will die in the surprise package?
Enjoy!
The Beginning
The hot stifling air surrounded Harry, Hermione and Ron as they sat in the Great Hall as the hourglass ran out. As usual, Hermione was still writing, checking and adding in bits furiously. She took these exams very, very seriously!
"Quills down!" droned Professor Binns.
Hermione put her quill down at once.
"Leave you papers and you are dismissed!"
Hermione, Ron and Harry ran outside!
"Exams finished! Let's go to Hagrid's place!" yelled Ron as he started to run around in circles.
"Wait, I just remembered! For question 13b, the Elixir of Life was used by Nicholas Flamel, not the Elixir of Life is used by Nicholas Flamel! How stupid can I get?" exclaimed Hermione.
"God, Hermione! That's only half a mark! Just relax! Try the breathing exercise! It might work!" said Ron calmly.
"Half a mark? It could be that half a mark that makes the difference between a fail and a pass!" screeched Hermione.
"You really think that you'd fail?" asked Ron.
"Yes as a matter of fact!" said Hermione.
Ron groaned and didn't say anything else. He knew that there was no point in arguing with Hermione, as to her, even 0.0001 of a point was a lot. They continued to walk to Hagrid's hut. They knocked that door, but there was no reply.
"Let's go back to the common room", said Harry, who had remained neutral in the conversation.
Five o'clock was not a pleasant time in the Gryffindor common room. Fred and George were sitting in a corner producing what they thought were the best Christmas Crackers on Earth.
"I'm really starting to get really, really bored!" said Ron glumly.
Even after the exams, Hermione still had her nose stuffed in a book.
"Who's up for a game of Truth or Dare?" asked Ron.
"ME!" yelled Harry and Ginny together.
"Hermione, do you want to play a game of Truth or Dare with us?" asked Harry.
"I don't think so", said Hermione.
"Come on Hermione! It will be really fun! Don't be a coward!" said Ron, feeling happy with himself.
"Fine", said Hermione obstinately, not wanting to embarrass herself in from of all her friends.
"Can we give you one dare?" asked Fred and George simultaneously.
"If it doesn't involve killing each other, yes!" said Harry remembering that the last time they gave a dare, he ended up almost getting eaten by a hippogriff.
"Yay!" yelled Fred and George together.
They all sat in a circle and began. They spun a Firescrumptous (It was a fire cracker that Fred and George were making. It's sort of like 'Spin the Bottle', except they used a fire cracker because they didn't have any bottles). It landed on Harry.
Harry, truth or dare?" asked Hermione.
"Truth," said Harry
"Ummm…would you rather get killed by the Whomping Willow, or get eaten by a hippogriff?" said Ron.
"I think I'd rather get killed by the Whomping Willow," answered Harry giggling.
"Why would you rather get killed by the Whomping Willow? Wouldn't it be more slow and painful?" asked Ron.
"Yeah…but surely, it wouldn't be as painful as getting chewed up into a million pieces by a giant hippogriff," answered Harry hesitantly.
Ron considered for a while.
"True," said Ron after a lot of considering.
"Harry, spin the fire cracker!" commanded Ron.
Harry spun the fire cracker. It landed on Hermione.
"Okay, fair enough! Hermione, truth or dare?" asked Harry.
"I play on the safe side, so truth," answered Hermione.
I know what they're going to ask. The normal question: Who do you like or some kind of variation of that, thought Hermione.
"Who do you have a crush on?" asked Harry.
Hermione muttered to herself under her breath. Hermione knew the answer, but she was too afraid to say it. But she decided that she had to say it.
"Ron?" all of them except Ron asked simultaneously.
A/N: This is supposed to be a cliff. Please read and review. Many people convince themselves that they know what Hermione's answer is going to be, but think again! Anyway, until the next chapter is published…
Have a great time and review!
