A/N Okay, well then. Um, this is an interesting and weird chapter. I just wrote it when I was bored. But Hope, i put you with Remus so be happy!
My Last Breath
Chapter 9:
By: ME!
"Okay, so here's the rules," Sirius began to explain. They all sat cross legged on the floor of the living room, in the pajamas of their choice. "You have to either agree to truth or dare or be paralyzed for the rest of the night. If you were paralyzed, we could do much worse things like stick you outside in your underwear or something."
"What kinda game is this?" Lily exclaimed in horror.
"Actually, it's not made up. It's Wizards' Truth or Dare, in which a spell is placed upon all of us so we can't lie, we can't deny, and we can't cry," Sirius retorted.
"What kinda ryhme is that?" Kayla snickered.
"Hey, it came on the instructions, don't make fun of me!" Sirius pouted, crossing his arms.
"Basically, you can't lie when you pick truth, and you can't refuse to do something. You're forced to do it," James explained. Lily really hoped this was a somewhat civilized game.
"Okay! First up is James! Truth or dare?" Remus asked.
"Truth."
"Okay, I'll let you off easy this time. How long have you liked Lily-bean?" James bit his lip and looked up at the ceiling where the faint glow of the charm hung in the air.
"Since I first ran into her on the train in first year, when I was carrying that box of tarantulas," he mumbled, wincing at the rememberence of the hex she had preformed on him. He had spent his first day at school in the Hospital Wing because of an over-grown head. Lily laughed slightly as she remembered it as well.
"All right. Sirius' turn. Truth or dare?"Remus asked.
"Dare!" Sirius immediatley shouted.
"Um, okay then. You have to go upstairs and get your pink boxers with unicorns on them that Bellatrix gave you as a joke on Christmas, and wear those all night," Remus dared, then snickered. "And yes, that's just the boxers." Sirius stuck out his lower lip.
"You're not as mean as you think Moony."
"I try!" Remus joked, shrugging his shoulders. Sirius stopped noisily upstairs and came back down with bright neon pink boxers on, with little purple unicorns on them. He sat down grumpily.
"Okay, Remus! Your turn!" he growled. Remus gulped and knew that either way he was doomed.
"Truth or dare?"
"T-truth."
"Okay, who do you think is the hottest girl in the whole school?" Sirius asked. Remus literally held his mouth shut with his hands, knowing if he didn't, the truth would burst from his lips. He was planning on staying that way for the rest of the night, but the spell that was put on them prevented him rom doing so. His hands began to feel like hot coals on his face, and he had to pull them off or he would burn himself.
"Hope Buzzel!" he accidently screamed out, earning laughs from the others.
"Now that," Lily said through giggles. "That was priceless right there." Sirius turned to her with a smile on his face.
"Good Lily, 'cause now it's your turn. Truth or dare?"
"Truth!"
"Okay, do you think I'm hot? 'Cause Kayla says she's not sure, and I want some one else's opinion," Sirius whined. Lily almost laughed out loud because this one was so easy.
"Nope, I don't think you're hot," she stated simply. She was glad that she had found a loop hole. She didn't think he was hot, she knew he was hot, but a lot of guys in the school were much hotter. She'd just rather stick with James. Sirius made stuck out his lower lip again and turned to Kayla.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Okay, I dare you to kiss me." The room grew silent as they waited for Kayla to do something. Finally she just leaned up and kissed him quickly on the cheek and sat down contentedly.
"You didn't say I had to kiss you on the lips," she muttered, her face bright red.
"Oh well, at least you did kiss me!" Sirius said happily. He turned to James.
"Your turn!" he sang. "Truth or-"
"Dare."
"Fine then!" Sirius grumbled. "I dare you to stick a whole bowl of ice down your underwear!" James winced and glared at Sirius menacingly.
"OI, just be happy I didn't make you smack Lily's butt or something!" he exclaimed. James sighed and went to the kitchen, coming back with a huge bowlfull of ice. He pulled his pants away from his stomach, and after taking one big breath, dumped them down his pants.
"COLD!" he yelped, much to the amusement of the others.
"And you have to keep it there the whole time!" Sirius laughed. James looked up at him in pure horror.
"But Sirius! My parents put on an anti-melt charm on the ice from the freezer!"
"Exactly."
"I hate you," James muttered, twitching and trying to make himself less cold down there.
"I love you too, James!" Sirius joked. "Next person! And that would be...oh crap it's me."
"Yup!" James exclaimed happily. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"OKay, go upstairs and get one of my mom's bras, then put it on and leave it on for the rest of the night."
"I hate you," Sirius mumbled.
"What happened to, 'I love you too James!'?" James mimicked Sirius' voice.
"That James is far gone!" Sirius retorted, heading upstairs once more. When he came down again, the room erupted in uncontrolable laughter at the sight of Sirius in a pink bra. So now he was in pink boxers and a pink bra and was very mad. Once the bickering died down, Remus realized it was his turn.
"Truth or dare Remus?" James asked, trying to surpress a snicker.
"Ah, dare," he stuttered nervously.
"All righty then! Write a letter to Hope right now and ask her to go out with you!" James dared, ignoring the hurt expression on Remus' face.
"You people are cruel," he growled, snatching a peice of parchment and a quill from Sirius' outstretched hand. He scribbled down something on the paper and handed it to Kayla, who quickly read it over and smiled approvingly. She retrieved her owl, Cookie, and gave it to him with a treat.
"This is for Hope," she told him, and the owl flew off immediatley. "Don't leave her alone until she opens it!" she called, snickering. The color drained from Remus' face.
"You mean, your owl knows where she lives?" he gasped. Kayla nodded happily.
"Yup, and her answer should be here by the end of the night!"
"Right, anyway, who's next?" Remus asked. Lily meakley raaised a hand.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Okay, let me think," Remus pondered for a second and then laughed out loud. "Okay, um, Lily, you have to stay attached to James all night, and that means all night."
"Uh, okay," she said, not realizing how literall the dare was. James put his arm around her waist and she put her arm around him.
"Wait, I have to go to the bathroom, so I can't be attached to him yet," she explained, but when she tried to seperate from him, she found that she was literallly stuck. She tried to pull away but it was no use.
"God, I hate this spell!" she shouted, plopping back down on the floor. She bit her lip, trying to ignore the pain in her bladder at the moment.
"Kayla's turn!" Sirius sang. "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
"You have to strip down to your boxers and bra too so I don't look like an idiot!" Kayla goraned and did as she had too.
"Any of you make a wry comment about this, and I will personally wring your necks!" she exclaimed. " She jumped at a sudden tap on the window, her face bright red. But it was just Cookie, returning from his journey. Kayla opened the window and let him in, and snatched the letter in the red envolope that was adressed to Remus.
"Oh God, she sent you a Howler!" James hooted. Remus snatched the envelope,n but didn't want to open it.
"Moony, you might want to open it before-" Sirius started but the envelope had already opened itself.
"REMUS LUPIN, OF COURSE I'LL GO OUT WITH YOU, YA BLOODY GIT!" it cried for the whole house to hear. Remus flushed bright red as the letter destroyed itself and a small red pile of paper sat next to him on the ground.
"Do my ears decieve me, or does Remus have a girlfriend?" Kayla asked in disbelief. They all laughed and Remus hid his face in a pillow. Suddenly the door opened and Mr. and Mrs. Potter walked in.
"Sorry, kids, but we have to go back to the Ministry in few minutes, we just came hoome to tell you that the boys will be Apparating from America soon- SIRIUS WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU WEARING???" Mrs. Potter asked in disbelief, staring at Sirius' interesting outfit. Now it was Sirius' turn to blush.
"Ah, clothes?" he tried. Mr. Potter was trying so hard to stifle a laugh that his face turned purple and he let out a snort.
"Um, dear, I think they're playing truth or dare," he pointed out.
"Oh, well then. That's different," Mrs. Potter sighed, conjuring up a camera. "Okay, I dare you all to look like you were having a good time!"
"Mom!" James whined. "That's not fair!" But they couldn't help it, they all burst out laughing and Mrs. Potter took several pictures, then stored them away in her pocket.
"Okay, children, I expect you to be good for James' brothers," she warned. They all nodded except for Sirius.
"But mom," he moaned, using his nickname for Mrs. Potter. "We're seventeen! Can't we have a little freedom?" Mrs. Potter shook her head and Apparated back to the Ministry, leaving her chuckling husband behind. He went over to Sirius and suggested,
"Uh, I just took the spell off now, so you should be fine when the boys and their wives get here, but you should probably change out of those before you become the laughing stock of the whole family!" Sirius nodded and quickly rushed upstairs, coming back with his pajamas on.
"And Kayla, you migh want to put a shirt on, because the Jasper's wife would probably think you would be insane to show off your undershirt to her husband," Mr.Potter pointed out. Kayla picked up her light blue teeshirt and slipped it on gratefully, glad that this truth or dare game was over. But James and Lily would be stuck together for the whole night, meaning it was impossible for any spell to seperate them. James was shivering and Lily was crossing her legs in frustration.
"Do you mind telling me what's wrong with you two?" Edward Potter asked.
"I have the ice from the freezer in my pants and we're literally stuck together for the rest of the night!" James shouted.
"And I have to go to the bathroom!" Lily added.
"Um, I'm afarid I can't do anything for you because once the truth or dare spell has been conjured, nothing can stop it," Edward apologized, Apparating into the night before trouble occured. Kayla, Remus, and Sirius had burst out into more laughter at Lily and James' situation when five pops sounded and James' older brothers charged into the room, one with a wife at his side.
"Hello all!" Jasper Potter greeted. "For those of you that haven't met her, this is Katherine!"
"Hi Katherine," Lily and Remus greeted. "Hello Jasper."
"Ah, this beautiful red head must be James' girlfriend!" Tyson Potter complimented, kissing Lily's hand. Lily blushed at the attention.
"And Kayla! We meet again!" Tyson exclaimed, slapping her a high five. "And then we come to Sirius, Remus, and James. Peter still in China?" James nodded. The other three boys hung back, hands in their pockets.
Oi, Jack, Zack, Will, aren't you gonna say hi?" Jasper asked, running a hand through his messy blonde hair. The three shook their heads and walked into the kitchen, going through all the food.
"Sorry about that, they're twenty-year-old triplets and they won't leave eachother's side," Jasper explained. "It's a bit strange, but we love them all the same. We're gonna have a barbeque in the backyard in half an hour, so join us after you're done, okay?" James nodded as his other two brothers left.
"Well, that was interesting," Sirius muttered.
"Your mom took pictures of us!" Kayla exclaimed in horror. "I was in a bra and boxers and Sirius was in pink boxers and your mom's bra!" James snickered.
"Yeah, I don't think we're ever gonna hear the end of this one," he replied.
