Disclaimer: I still don't own Harry Potter!

A/N: I forgot to mention that I got that line about the three second mutual kiss from Instant star (thanks to griffin14 for reminding me!) This may be the last chapter depending on the reviews I get. I hope everyone liked the story and thanks to all the wonderful reviewers and my BETA Beatrice.

Recap of Chapter 4: Harry was 'too sexy for his shirt', Hermione's deepest desire was to kiss Ron (even though she denies it), Malfoy was a ferret (again), Ron's wearing a dress from Ginny's dare and Harry & Ginny kissed.

(end of chapter 4)

"Harry. Truth, dare or double dare?"

"Truth."

"What do you think of Ginny?"

Chapter 5

As Hermione said this, Harry wished that he could change his choice. He'd rather do a silly dare than answer that particular question. He knew that after the kiss, everything had changed between them. He also noted that Ron was laughing at his situation. While he was thinking all of this, the truth potion started to take effect.

"Ginny is a pretty redhead with a fiery attitude that kept me in line last year when I was yelling at everyone. She is kind, loving, stubborn," Harry paused but the potion took over again, "and a great kisser."

As he said the last attribute, he glanced at Ginny and she blushed while shyly smiling at him. Hermione looked a little wide eyed while Ron was still laughing. To get Ron back for laughing at his discomfort, Harry decided to put him on the spot.

"Ron. Truth, dare or double dare?"

Ron looked down at his current outfit from the last dare and he decided that he'd never pick dare again.

"Truth."

Harry decided to ask something that he'd been wondering about for a while.

"What do you think of Hermione?

To Harry's satisfaction, Ron looked even more uncomfortable than Harry was when he was forced to answer the same question.

"Hermione is one of my best friends. She was an annoying know-it-all when we first met. She's still a know-it-all but she wouldn't be Hermione if she wasn't," Ron paused while Hermione looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "She thinks I finally saw her as a girl in 4th year but I've known that a long time. She was the prettiest girl at the Yule Ball and I admit that I was jealous of Krum when he took her to the Yule Ball." By the time Ron finished the sentence, he was the same shade as a tomato.

He looked Hermione right in the eye and said, "Also, I'm sorry for acting like a prat with that kiss incident." Everyone exchanged looks because it was said without the influence of the potion.

Hermione looked stunned while Ginny looked thoughtful. Ginny flicked her wand and Ron's clothes changed back to normal. His makeup and highlights were also removed.

"Why'd you do that Gin?" asked Ron.

Ginny thought about the question for a second and answered: "Because you apologized."

"Malfoy. Truth, dare or double dare?"

"Dare."

Ron rummaged through his pockets and took out an ice cream that was kept frosty by a cooling charm. "Eat this." Hermione, Harry and Ginny smirked when they realized what the ice cream really was. Pansy looked mildly interested while Malfoy looked slightly afraid, especially after the ferret dare.

Draco took the ice-cream and ate it. He waited for a moment but didn't feel any different.

"Nothing happened," he said, sounding relieved.

The Gryffindors exchanged looks because the trick didn't work. All of a sudden, neon letters appeared on Malfoy's forehead. Everyone, except Malfoy, started pointing and laughing.

"What's so funny?" Malfoy asked while patting his face to make sure he didn't have any hair growth like Pansy. Pansy handed him the small mirror she conjured earlier and written on his forehead in neon green letters was the word 'wanker'.

"Where did you get the ice cream from?" Pansy asked Ron.

"It's a product from Fred and George's store called Insult Ice-cream. It's going to be available to the public next month."

"Weasley, you're dead!" Malfoy threatened.

Ron rolled his eyes at Malfoy's threat. He briefly wondered if Malfoy would get "revenge" on him the same way he did to Harry by having him kiss someone. If so, he hoped that person would be Hermione.

"Granger. Truth, dare or double dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to write with one of the special quills," Malfoy stated while the trio looked stunned.

Noticing the looks, Ginny became curious. "What do they do?" Ginny asked. Harry decided to answer the question.

"Last year, Umbridge had me in detention writing with those quills. The quills didn't use ink, they used the writer's blood. The person would have the words they wrote engraved on the back of their hand." Harry held up his hand and the faint outline of 'I must not tell lies' from his fifth year detentions was still seen. Ginny winced at the sight and glared at Malfoy. "You are such a prat!" she exclaimed.

Malfoy smirked while Hermione was thinking.

"There's no way that I'm doing that dare! I'd rather take the consequences," Hermione decided.

Malfoy's smirk got even wider, if that was possible, and Pansy started smirking too, even though she had no idea what he was thinking.

"You now have to go into Snape's personal quarters and steal a pair of underwear."

Pansy and Ginny looked shocked while Harry and Ron looked disgusted at the idea of Hermione touching Snape's underwear.

"Just grab the first pair and get it over with," Ginny advised.

Hermione had an incredulous look pasted on her face. She desperately glanced at the clock hoping that she could get out of performing the consequence. Unfortunately for her, the timer read 45 minutes. Hermione sighed in defeat.

"I know that his room is connected to this room but how will I get into it?" she asked. "Wouldn't he have some wards set up?"

"Actually, I don't think the wards are activated now since he expected to only be gone for a couple of minutes while we were busy in detention," replied Pansy.

Everyone looked shocked at Pansy's show of common sense.

"It's worth a try," Hermione admitted. Hermione left the group and walked to the other side of the room towards Snape's chambers. When she reached the door she turned the knob and pushed the door open.

In the group, everyone chatted amongst themselves while Hermione entered the room. About a minute later, a scream was heard coming from the bedroom. Everyone jumped out of their seat and rushed to the bedroom but for different reasons. Harry, Ron and Ginny went to help their friend while Malfoy got up because he hoped to get a good view if she'd gotten attacked. Pansy joined the group because she was nosy and Malfoy's shadow. When they arrived in the room, Hermione was sitting on the bed with her head in her hands.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" Ginny asked.

Hermione pointed to the dresser and replied, "Open all the drawers."

Everyone opened a drawer and got one of the biggest shocks of their young lives. Every drawer was filled with thongs. He had every type of thong: lacy, silky, sparkly and beaded. Ginny picked up one from the drawer and it had the word 'Juicy' written in glittery letters. After she read it, she quickly dropped it back into the drawer.

"No wonder Hermione looks traumatized," she muttered.

"Granger. Get up and do your dare," Malfoy ordered.

Hermione reluctantly got up and searched the drawers for boxers or briefs. After a couple of minutes, she still hadn't found any.

"Okay. There are three possible explanation I can think of. One- Professor Snape likes to collect the underwear of the women he sleeps with. Two- He likes to wear the underwear himself," Harry paused for effect, "Or three- he doesn't wear any underwear at all since we didn't see any boxers or briefs."

Everyone shivered at the thought of Professor Snape going commando.

"I think we can all dismiss your theory about Snape sleeping with anyone," joked Ron, "Why anyone would find that greasy git attractive is beyond me."

"A lot of things are beyond you," Pansy stated, "but that's another story."

"I know you of all people aren't calling someone daft!" Ron retorted.

Pansy and Ron glared at each other while Hermione decided to grab the 'Juicy' thong.

"Let's get out of here," Hermione suggested, "This is getting kind of strange."

Looking around at the drawers full of thongs, everyone agreed with her assessment of the situation. With a flick of her wand, Hermione made sure that the room looked exactly the way she found it, with the exception of the missing piece of underwear. They all exited the room and walked back towards their spots.

"Harry. Truth, dare or double dare?" Hermione asked.

"Dare."

Harry figured that Hermione would give him an easy dare since the last time she asked something of him, he had to answer the embarrassing question about Ginny. Thinking of the youngest Weasley made his stomach fill with butterflies.

"I dare you to take the 'Juicy' thong and ask Professor Snape about it at breakfast tomorrow morning."

"What!" Harry exclaimed, "Are you trying to get me killed?"

Everyone looked shocked that Hermione would say that.

"Who knew that Granger, the goody-goody Gryffindor girl, had it in her to think of a dare that wonderful," Pansy complimented.

For a brief second, Harry considered doing a consequence. However, he recalled the traumatized look Hermione had on her face before and decided not to put himself through that.

"I accept your dare."

"How will we know if you did the dare," Pansy asked Harry.

"You'll know by the furious look on his face while we're talking," Harry paused, "Then again he always looks like that. Trust me, you'll know when I ask him tomorrow."

"We have time for one more dare," Ron stated.

Harry glanced at the timer and was startled to see that 3 minutes remained. He snuck a glance over at Ginny and thought about what he had to do. He must have been thinking for too long because Ron nudged him in the ribs.

"Ginny. Truth, dare or double dare?"

"Dare."

Harry took a deep breath and said, "I dare you to go on a date with me to Hogsmeade tomorrow."

Ron and Hermione looked shocked that Harry had the guts to ask her out on a date. Malfoy looked shocked and also disgusted at the show of emotion while Pansy looked a little jealous.

Ginny looked extremely happy, but tried to hide it, at the recent turn of events.

"I'd love to," she replied, trying to keep the excitement out of her voice.

Suddenly, the timer beeped and everyone looked at it. It now read that 0 minutes and 0 seconds remained. The timer disappeared and the door glowed blue and then burst open. Standing in the doorway was none other than Professor Dumbledore. Everyone looked nervous because they wondered if he knew that they didn't have a real detention and just played truth or dare.

"I know you didn't have detention but don't worry," Professor Dumbledore said with a slight twinkle in his eyes, "You won't have to do a real detention next Friday."

The looks he received varied from happiness to disappointment.

"Let me explain. This was never meant to be a real detention. It was just a social experiment to show you all that you can get along without fighting. I don't know what was done in this room tonight but hopefully stronger bonds have been formed amongst you all."

Professor Dumbledore gave each teen a look when he said this.

"What about Professor Snape," Hermione asked, "Is he okay?"

Ron rolled his eyes because Hermione was always concerned about teachers.

"He's not really hurt. I needed him to leave you all alone and that was the most believable way I could think of at the time. If there's nothing else, good day."

There was a silent moment when everybody was thinking about what Professor Dumbledore had revealed.

"At least we're not in trouble," Ron commented, in order to break the silence.

Everyone stared at each other and realized that Dumbledore's words were true. They knew that they're definitely not going to be best friends but a new understanding was formed.

"I'm out of here," Malfoy said. He got up and walked out of the room with Pansy trailing behind him.

Harry and Ginny were the next to leave. They were discussing they're plans for tomorrow in Hogsmeade.

Noticing that they were the only people left in the room, Ron and Hermione decided to leave also. As they went through the doorway, Ron grasped her hand and she put her head on his shoulder. They knew that everything would be different from now on.

I think I may write an epilogue or you can imagine your own ending if you'd like. It depends on what the reviewers have to say.
