Seven Minuets in Heaven, or Hell?

Harry and Ron laughed.

"Nice one Ginny. Seriously, what's our dare?" Ron said, still chuckling.

Ginny frowned. "Oh, I'm serious."

The boys paled.

"But, Ginny!" Harry gasped. "We can't MOON Snape!"

"Why not? You have butts under there right?" Ginny said, smirking. The two were two stunned to be embarrassed by the question.

"But-but-but- We CAN'T!" Ron stuttered.

"Oh, sure you can!" Hermione protested. "I'm sure I know a spell that can conceal your identities. No one would ever know."

"But you know how Snape is! He HATES me!" Harry said, horrified. "He'll find out it's me for sure!"

"Regardless, that's your dare." Ginny insisted. "Unless you're too afraid."

"Huh?" Harry and Ron exclaimed.

"I totally understand if you're too scared. Big, scary Snape might get you!" Ginny went on.

"I get the feeling that you're mocking us." Ron said, glaring.

"We'll do it!" Harry said bravely.

"Yeah." Ron said. Then he looked at Harry with a horrified look on his face. "We will!"

"Yeah, but only if we have a spell or something to keep our identities secret."

Everyone applauded.

"It's been nice knowing you mates." Neville said, clapping them each on the back.

"Yay!" Hermione chirped, hopping up and practically skipping to the cabinet. "Let's see what we have here…Oh!"

"What is it?" They asked. She held up two large rings.

"These are thief rings… They completely conceal your identities. Your face, fingerprints, everything. Thieves used them to break into houses and not get caught. These will be perfect." Hermione explained. Harry and Ron put them on. Everyone gasped.

Their faces had gone black, as if there was a permanent shadow over them.

"Did something happen?" Ron said, stupidly. But the rest of them jumped, because their voices had been changed also.

"This is so weird." Harry said, touching his face. He looked at the wall, and magically a mirror had appeared. "Brilliant Hermione! You can't possibly guess who I am."

"Looks like we have to do it." Gulped Ron. Harry nodded and pulled out the Marauders Map.

"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good." He said, tapping it with his wand. It unfolded and the map appeared. "It looks like Snape is… In the LIBRARY!"

"What is Snape doing in the Library this late?" Seto pondered.

"Who cares? C'mon, let's go!" Ginny said, opening the door. The rest of them shrugged and followed. When they got to the Library, Snape was there, looking for a specific book it seemed.

"What do you suppose he's looking for in the Egyptian section?" Yugi whispered suspiciously. Marik scowled.

"If he's taking any of my ideas on taking over the world-"

"Shut up!" The rest of them hissed.

"OK, go for it." Neville whispered, giving the boys a push. They looked at each other and gulped. Then they slipped off into the shadows.

The rest of them waited anxiously at the door, ready to run. Snape was now out of sight, and they couldn't hear anything. Most of them were sure they would never see Harry and Ron again. The very air seemed tense.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" they suddenly heard Snape demand. It was quiet for a few seconds then…

"AUGH!"

Harry and Ron came bolting out and the others willingly followed, Mokuba's sombrero flopping behind him. When they finally got back to the Room of Requirement, they collapsed into the bean bags, laughing like hyenas. Ron and Harry removed their rings, wiping tears out of their eyes. (Mokuba took off his sombrero and mustache)

"You should have seen his FACE!" Ron laughed.

"He looked like his eyes were going to pop out!" Harry added. After they had calmed down, Harry spun his wand.

"Yami, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare." Yami said, lifting his head up proudly like the King he was.

"I dare you to… Turn your hair pink for the rest of the game." Yami went red. Before he could say anything, Hermione waved her wand and his hair turned a violent shade of hot pink.

"Ahh! My beautiful hair!" Yami gasped, looking at the mirror on the wall. "I didn't say I accepted!"

"Oh. Well to late now." Hermione shrugged while the rest of them laughed. Yami sighed and spinned.

"Marik!" Yami said, grinning evilly. "Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." The spirit said simply. Yami's mouth hung open in despair.

"You're loving this, aren't you?" Yami grumbled.

"Every second. Just because you're stupid enough to pick dare, doesn't mean I am." Marik replied, then drinking the veritaserum.

"How can I ask you a question? You've never had a real life like I did." Yami contemplated. "I got it! What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?"

Marik went a little red. "Right before the last duel on the blimp… I tripped and fell on my face."

"That's it?" Yami said, disappointed.

"Yep." Marik said, as he spun. Ryou squeaked and cowered when it landed on him.

"So wimp, what'll it be?" Marik spat cruelly.

"Er, uh, um, ah-" Ryou stuttered.

"Well?"

"Dare I suppose!" Ryou blurted out. Marik grinned sadistically.

"I dare you to get a white rabbit, a knife, some rope, oh and some towels too, this is going to be messy…" Marik started.

"MARIK!" the rest of them shouted as Ryou looked like he was going to faint.

"You always ruin my fun." Marik grumbled. "Fine then, you have to turn into a bird for the rest of the game."

Hermione sighed and waved her wand. There was a poof and Ryou dissapeared. They looked down and saw a white dove sitting there. It cocked it's head at them.

"This is weird." Ryou chirped, examining himself.

"Wow, you can still talk?" asked Harry.

"I guess. Someone please spin for me?" Ryou said. Ginny spun his wand. It landed on Yugi.

"Yugi, Truth or Dare?" he asked.

"Truth." Yugi said.

"Hmm… When you first dueled my Yami, did you actually think I was evil?"

"Er, um, yeah for a second." Yugi admitted. Ryou gave him a sad look. "Only for a second!"

"Yeah, it's OK." Ryou said, shrugging his 'shoulders'. Yugi spun. It was Hermione.

"Hermione, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare I guess."

"I dare you to.. hmmm…" Yugi said thoughtfully. "I got it! You have to not answer a single question in class all day tomorrow." The rest of them laughed as she went pale.

"All… day?" she stuttered.

"Yep."

"Er… Fine. I can do that." Hermione sniffed, getting her composure back. She spun.

"Emily, Truth or Dare? Actually, I have another double dare for you and Seto. Is that alright?" Hermione said innocently.

"Don't do it!" Harry and Ron said at the same time.

"Oh, please. I'll do anything." Emily said bravely.

"If she can I can." Seto smirked.

"I dare you two to do seven minuets in heaven. For those of you who don't know, seven minuets in heaven is when two people have to be locked in a closet together for seven minuets strait." Hermione explained. Seto and Emily looked at each other blankly.

"Seven minuets in a CLOSET with HER/HIM!" They cried in unison.

"You aren't backing down are you?" Hermione asked.

"No. I'm going to do it if he's going to do it." Emily said, looking over at Seto.

"Same with me." Seto sniffed.

"Great!" Hermione exclaimed. They turned and saw that a door had appeared. The others ushered the two into the closet, which was hardly big enough for them.

"Have fun!" Mokuba called as they closed the door. It locked itself.

"Why did you dare them to do that?" Ron asked curiously.

"Isn't it obvious?" Hermione said, rolling her eyes.

"I could tell just by looking at them." Ginny added. The boys looked at them blankly.

"What're you talking about?" Harry asked.

"Well, can't you tell? It's practically written all over their faces." Ginny said.

"WHAT is!" Malik said, irritated.

"Oh, forget it." Hermione sighed.

Meanwhile in the closet

Emily and Seto stood uncomfortably in the cramped closet. It was completely dark, so they couldn't see each other blushing at being so close to each other. They were practically nose to nose. After sitting perfectly still for awhile, they began to shift around.

Seto's hand accidentally touched her arm. They gasped and pulled away from each other as much as they could, which wasn't far.

"Well, this is fun." Seto finally said.

"Why exactly did we agree to this?" Emily asked, sighing.

"I don't remember." Seto said, frowning. He tried to shift his position again when his foot caught on Emily's foot and he fell to the floor painfully.

"Ouch!" he moaned.

"Sorry! Let me help you." Emily said pulling him up, in doing so accidentally pressing them close together, their faces only about an inch apart.

They froze completely. Seto could almost taste her lips. For a second, just a second he felt like he wanted to. Then they both pulled away quickly.

"I don't need help from you." He spat.

"Well I shouldn't have bothered then!" she shot back.

"Oh, come on. You know you liked it." That voice in his head interjected again.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Seto yelled. Emily stared at him. Seto cleared his throat and said nothing. They sat there for awhile, calming down. They waited. And waited. And waited.

"Hasn't it bee seven minuets yet!" Emily yelled, stomping her foot. Finally, the door unlocked and they scrambled out.

"God, I couldn't breathe in there!" Seto growled.

The others laughed.

"What?" asked Emily.

"You're faces are all red!" Ryou chirped.

"Oh, great. We need to get in bed or we'll be in big trouble." Harry said, looking at the clock that had appeared on the wall. They nodded and went back to the Common Room.

"You should be in bed already!" The Fat Lady huffed.

"Yeah, yeah." Ron muttered in response. The boys and girls said goodnight to each other. Emily and Seto's eyes met for a second, and then they hurried off to their dorms.
