Hey all. Here is the next chapter.
I don't own Harry Potter.
Everyone settled into their own beds and laid on their bellies facing everyone else. The circle went Remus, Elizabeth, Lily, James, and then Sirius. Sirius had planned this so that the couples were lying next to each other and so he could be in between his fellow Marauders. Elizabeth and Remus were petting Boots, who was purring like an old steam engine. "Let's get to know each other a bit better." Remus suggests, breaking out of his cat patting daze.
"I'm not sure if there's anything you three don't already know about each other." Lily scoffs.
"True." James says. "But Lizzie just got here." After he said this, he grinned manically and exchanged looks with Sirius.
Lily looks at Remus alarmingly, while Elizabeth just laughs out loud. "Do your worst."
"You'll regret that." Remus mutters.
"Let's get started, Lily would you care to start our game of, drum roll please…." James looks around as Remus and Sirius beat their hands on their mattress. "Truth or Dare!" The boys cheered as the girls just roll their eyes.
"Okay, but first I have an idea. Just wait a second while I get it from my trunk." Elizabeth says quickly and runs up the stairs. After a minute, she comes back holding a Blue and Purple crystal ball. "I got these three years ago. This blue one will tell people if you are telling the truth or now, so no one can lie or we will know." Everyone nods. "And this one will tell us who is to be asked next. All we have to do is enter our names in it like this." She waves her wand. "Brosba Eman." Then she whispers everyone's name into the ball. When she was done, she taped the ball lightly on the top with her wand and set it down in the middle along with the first ball. "Now when we want to start, you just have to tap it again."
"Alright, we have just one rile when we play truth or dare." James starts to explain. "It is that if you can't the truth you can get a dare instead but you have to do the dare no matter what and if you really don't want to do that dare you can change it to truth but you have to answer that. Elizabeth nods and smiles.
"Okay Lily, you are starting." Sirius says.
Lily taps the purple ball and James' name appears. "Alright, truth or…"
"Dare!" James interrupts.
"How did I guess? Okay, I want you to go to McGonagall's office and try to seduce her. We will all come along and watch from under the invisibility cloak." Lily tells him.
James gasps at Lily and then smiles. "Fine. Accio Invisibility cloak."
The five head down to the third floor where McGonagall's office was. When they get there, James gives a soft knock and goes into the room with the other four under the clock.
"Hello, Mr. Potter. What can I do for you?" McGonagall asks.
"Oh Minnie… why the formality? We've known each other for more than six years and each of those years you grown more and more gorgeous." James says and smiles.
McGonagall's lips went thinner, but Lily was sure she saw a little bit of redness on her cheeks. "Mr. Potter…"
"Call me James my beautiful one." James says and smiles.
"Mr. Potter," McGonagall continues. "This is not the time nor the place for you to make comments of that nature."
"Of course Minnie. I would wait a lifetime for one night alone with you." James says and tries not to crack up laughing.
"Nor will it ever be acceptable… What is wrong with you Mr. Potter? I expect you at my office at exactly seven o'clock on the first full day of school." McGonagall says.
"Yes, a private meeting would be wonderful you ravishing, sexy thing you." James says. The four students under the cloak were biting their lips to stop them from laughing.
"No, for a detention. On second thought maybe a 'private meeting' with Professor Slughorn would be more appropriate." McGonagall says crosses her arms.
"But Minnie, I thought what we had was special. I thought up a poem for you. Won't you letting me write it down?" With a flourish, James pulls a quill and some parchment from right under McGonagall's nose and starts writing. After he was finished, he folds it up and seals it with a kiss. "My darling, read it once I have left so that you can savor the moment forever." With this, he left the room dramatically, care to leave the door for the others to follow.
Once the five got out of hearing range, they cracked up laughing, not able to stop until they heard an amused voice behind them. "And what may I ask is so funny? I need a good laugh so enlighten me."
The group spin around only to be confronted with the twinkling eyes of Dumbledore. "We were playing t-truth or dare sir…" Lily explains.
"James was dared to go seduce McGonagall." Sirius continued.
Dumbledore laughs merrily. "I bet she didn't take kindly to that."
"No sir, but I'm sure that she will understand if she reads the letter I left with her." James says and smiles.
"James, that's not fair. From now on you can't tell anyone that it's a dare." Sirius says.
"I didn't say I told her… but I didn't say I didn't." James says and grins.
"Good night everyone and I'll make sure that I'm alert tonight, if you're taking out you dares on the staff then I better be careful." Dumbledore says and chuckles. "Goodnight and I hope to see you soon." With this, Dumbledore makes his way in the opposite direction.
"Was he just encouraging us to take our dares on him?" Lily asks in amazement.
"Yeah I think so. Oh well we don't want to disappoint our headmaster. That wouldn't look good on our permeant records." James says with a mischievous look in his eyes.
"Oh and by the way James, I think I saw McGonagall blush." Lily informs him.
"What can I say? No one can resist the Potter charm, except maybe you Lily." James says and smiles at her.
"Oh yes, I can resist it alright." Lily says.
"You don't have to, you could go out with me." James says simply.
"Na." Lily says and the two walk on with James looking unaffected by the rejection.
Elizabeth looks at the two questionably until she hears a low voice in her ear. "James has been asking Lily out for years. She used to pretend to hate him but we know that one day they'll be head over heels for each other." Remus explains.
"Then we'll have little James and Lily's running around everywhere." Sirius adds.
"Are you three coming?" James calls from up ahead.
"Coming!" Elizabeth yells and links her arms with Sirius and Remus and skips back to the common room to continue their little game.
