Second Instalment in The Truth or Dare Game series...
It was Christmas Eve at the Potter's and we were all there; James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Lily Evans, Anastasia Lawrence and me, Michelle Tombell. We were all pretty drunk as we sat around chatting and snogging our other halves (if we had one). James and Lily were eating each other's faces off, in the corner of the room (it's about time!), Ana was snogging Sirius, as they were going out. We all thought that she was the one for him as it was 7th year and he wouldn't (and apparently couldn't) leave her side; they were attached by the hip! And Peter was just staring at the snogging couples in delight, which I have to admit, is kind of creepy.
Everyone knew (well only Lily and Ana) that I fancied, had a crush on, was in love with or whatever you may call it, with Remus and everyone said that he did too, but I won't believe them till I hear and see it with my own eyes and ears.
Remus and I were sitting by the fire talking until I heard a drunken Sirius shout that we should play 7 minutes in Heaven. We all agreed though I was a bit hesitant, but they all convinced me in the end.
"Right, so we ditch boyfriend/girlfriend okay? It'll be much more fun." James slurred the words out. We all nodded and he carried on, "Oh and we ignore whether they are girl or boy ok? So, shall I start? Okey dokey!"
He grabbed a bottle as we all sat round it. James spun the bottle. Not me! Not me! Please not me! I prayed silently. It landed on Peter. Peter started muttering and stuttering under his breath after he managed a strangled "I'm o-out." We were all silently relieved. Well, I sure was, I grinned.
"Peter, you chicken. Fine, if you really won't kiss me, you have to...um...go to the shed and get some Dragon Dung and bring it here, ok?" James slurred out grinning. Peter went running and five minutes later he came with a handful of Dragon Dung. "Come on then, Peter. You have to eat half of it, then the other half you have to shove it down your pants, and then sit on this piece of newspaper because my mum loves her sofas." James said grinning from ear to ear. All the Marauders were grinning broadly. The girls were sniggering behind their hands. I was drunk enough that I was laughing my head off, grabbing my chest because it hurt so much. Everyone was looking at me but I ignored them completely because even if I wanted to stop I couldn't. After Peter had done it I stopped laughing like a maniac. "Let me spin the bottle again as Peter doesn't want to kiss such a beauty like me."James said pouting. He spun the bottle and it landed on Ana. "Phew! That was close!" I said sighing with relief. I was sitting between Ana and Lily, Ana was next to Sirius (Surprise, Surprise!), Lily next to James (Either she's really drunk or they're going out, which means it's the apocalypse!) who was sitting next to Remus. "Come on Ana. Let me show you what a real snog is" James said winking at her and Sirius. They went into a wardrobe and after we shouted "Seven minutes!" Ana came out first, with her wand out, cleaning herself up. Her flaming red hair was a bit messy and her clothes were creased. James came out with his jet-black hair messier than usual, his glasses askew and his clothes a bit crinkled. "Well, Ana, has Sirius been teaching you how to kiss?" James asked a surprised look on his face.
"Nope, I'm a natural. I would even say that I taught Sirius some of his moves. James, you're not that bad. Five and a half, I would say." Ana said laughing at James and Sirius' outraged expressions. "Now whose turn is it?" Ana said cutting James and Sirius off.
"Either Lily or Remus. Who wants to?" Sirius said. Lily was shaking her head really quickly and Remus was shrinking into the carpet. "Fine I'll choose then. Li- Remus, you're up next." Sirius was going to say Lily but James' glare made him backtrack. Remus whimpered as he spun the bottle. Please, please, please, not me, please, pleeeeease not me. It passed me once, twice, thrice, and it landed on Lily. Phew, phew, phew. I'm gonna hyperventilate. They were in there, but there wasn't much noise. I have to admit I was kinda jealous of Lily.
"It's seven!" We all shouted. They came out looking less ruffled than Ana and James. Remus' honey-gold hair was only a bit ruffled and Lily's bright red hair wasn't ruffled at all. More than anything, it looked like it was seven minutes in hell for Remus and Lily. "It's James' turn again!" I said. James shook his head. We all started chanting and in the end he gave up. He spun the bottle and it landed on...me. Just my luck. Might as well make the most of it.
"Oh, yay! Come on, James, let have seven minutes of Hell!" I said sarcastically. I jumped from my seat and grabbed James' hand. We went into the wardrobe and I covered his eyes and said into his ear;
"Let's pretend we're kissing the person we wanna kiss, okay?" He nodded. "It'll be much easier than standing here doing nothing right?" He nodded again, so I uncovered his eyes and walked to the front of him. I placed my arms on his shoulders and he placed his on my hips. He lowered his head and kissed me. I kissed him back, imagining it was Remus. I ran my hand through his black, messy hair and he brought his hands up to my hair. He pulled on my hair his tongue asking for permission, slithering across my bottom lip. I was about to open my mouth when the guys outside shouted "Seven minutes!" I sighed and unwrapped myself, while he straightened his hair and clothes. I straightened my hair first, then my clothes as I came out.
"You're not a bad kisser, Michelle. Not bad, at all." James said as we went to sit down.
"You're not bad yourself. Though, having boyfriends since I was fourteen really does help. Boys like a more...um...sensual relationship at that age, instead of a serious one. So, yeah." I said shrugging. Remus, I noticed out of the corner of my eye, was glaring at James and mouthing something that I didn't understand."Who's next?" I said, looking around.
"It's my turn now," Lily said spinning the bottle. The bottle landed on Ana. Lily and Ana both scrunched their noses looking at the bottle.
"Is Lily that ugly, Ana?" I asked smiling. Lily and Ana gave me stares that made me feel as if I should be dead right now. "Sorry, sorry, Merlin's Beard, people, loosen up!"
Ana and Lily just sighed and stood up. They walked to the wardrobe and went in. There wasn't much noise. When the seven minutes finished they both came out as they'd gone in. Exactly. James, Sirius and I started pouting when Lily shot one of her 'don't say anything or I'll kill you' stares.
I was trying not to laugh and failed dismally. Lily and Ana glared at me really evilly (Is that even a word?) and I stopped but James, Sirius and Remus had all started laughing and soon all of us had joined in.
"Ok guys we have to finish this game whether it kills us or not." Sirius told us. "It's your turn Michelle, isn't it?"
I nodded. "Yep it's my turn and I hope I don't get you 'cause then I'd actually have to spend time and space next to you." I said sticking my tongue out at him. He started chasing me around the circle and he nearly caught up with me when Remus had stuck his foot out and tripped him over.
"AAAARRRGGHHH!" Sirius said as he fell face-forward on the floor. We all started laughing and when he stood up he was bright red and steam was coming out of his ears. (Well, not really or I would've been worried...not.) That made me laugh even harder and he rugby tackled me and I fell on top of none other than Remus Lupin. I flushed.
"OW! SIRIUS! THAT HURT!" Remus cried, as I hurriedly stood up and scooted over to where I was sitting before this actually happened. How awkward! I blushed and quickly grabbed the bottle and spun it. I watched as it went round and round and round and round until it landed on...ME! I laughed hysterically and began to get up, taking myself to the wardrobe. However, Lily grabbed my hand and pulled me back down glaring at me.
"And what do you think you're doing?! Sit back down and spin it again, you cheat!" Everyone else grunted and nodded at what she said. I sighed, rolled my eyes and grabbed the bottle to spin it again. I could feel everyone's glares on me whilst the bottle span, but I kept my eyes on the bottle. And this time it actually landed on someone. It landed on, none other than, Lily. Yay.
"Come on my beautiful Lily-flower! Let's go!" I grabbed her hand, pulled her up and took her into the wardrobe. I closed the door behind her and sat down on the floor, tugging on her sleeve so she would sit down. She looked at me curiously whilst she sat down. I put my finger to my lips and messed up her hair a bit. Then, I messed up my own, and started making moaning noises. Lily understood what I was trying to do and played along, both of us pretending to be having the times of our lives. Finally, we heard the guys say "7 minutes!" and we got out pretending to straighten our hair and clothes. I came out 'buttoning up' my shirt and Lily combing through her hair with her hand. All of the boys had their mouths open, staring at us, as if we were goddesses, which caused me to giggle a bit. Ana was looking at us knowingly, and smirking at the guys' faces.
"That was fun, wasn't it Lils?" My face broke out into a huge smirk, and Lily giggled and smirked too. "I think we're going to have to do that more often!" Remus and James looked at each other, then at us incredulously. Then their expressions turned to lust and then depressed. I wonder what was going through their minds, the perverts. "Whose turn is it? I think it's Sirius' turn!" I grinned, jumping up and down and clapping with glee. He grimaced and glared at me. He grabbed the bottle and spun it, landing on Remus. They both grimaced whilst James, Lily, Ana and me started wolf-whistling, clapping and grinning wildly. "WOOO! Go on then boys!" Ana shouted.
The two boys glared at us and dragged their feet, whilst walking into the wardrobe. "Do you know a spell that would make them actually kiss and make the wardrobe see through for our benefit?" I whispered in Lily's ears. A thoughtful look came across her face and then her face lit up, and she pulled her wand out muttering an incantation. Suddenly, they both became more animated as they walked into the now-see-through wardrobe. Me and Ana were looking at the wardrobe with lovey-dovey eyes, as we were watching two of the five good-looking guys in Hogwarts, snog each other's faces off.
"This is a dream come true!" Ana grinned at me, sighing in pleasure when they both kissed softly. Then the snogging began. Sirius grabbed Remus by the hair on the back of his neck and pulled roughly, making Remus groan, opening his mouth. Sirius took that chance and stuck his tongue into Remus' mouth, and all we could see was the battle of tongues, though Remus was clearly losing, but enjoying himself. Remus' hands roamed around under Sirius' shirt feeling his abs, which could be seen because his shirt was riding up. I got a very nice view of Sirius' and Remus' six packs which I was very grateful for. Quidditch and werewolf-ness does wonders to the male body. Ana and I sighed at the same time with pleasure at the beautiful pair of handsome males making out.
"TIME'S UP!" James shouted, making the Wonder Boys, Ana and I jump with surprise. I glared at James, but he glared at me, "We were shouting at you guys for the past 5 minutes!" I shrugged apologetically and dragged Remus away from Sirius whilst Ana dragged Sirius away from Remus, as they were both trying to take each other's clothes off. Which wouldn't be so bad, I thought smirking.
"Lily! What are you waiting for?! Hurry up and take the spell off!" Ana and I screamed in frustration at trying to hold these very strong boys away from each other. Lily quickly muttered the counter-curse and they stopped struggling, blushing madly. Remus blushed even more, if that was even possible when he saw that I was the one holding him back, holding very tightly to his muscle-y chest. I blushed as well when I realised that he realised that I was holding him that tightly. I quickly let go of his chest and stepped back. I saw Sirius and Ana hugging, Sirius whispering in her ear, probably trying to make her 'forgive' him. Even though that was probably the best show Ana ever saw and ever will see.
"Well, this is awkward" I stated joyfully, looking at everyone sceptically. They all stared at me and I started giggling softly. This made them look even more creeped out, so it made me laugh even more hysterically. In the end everyone was rolling around on the floor laughing their heads off. Suddenly, we heard someone clear their throat behind us, and we all sobered up, looking for the source of the noise. "Oops." James stated bluntly.
"'Oops' is correct, young man! It's a good thing all of you are of age, because otherwise you would be in even bigger trouble! Now all of clean up and go to bed! It's nearly 3am! Goodnight!" Mrs Potter glared at James, who cowered in fear behind Lily. Mrs Potter then stalked off, closing the door behind her.
"At least she didn't see us when Sirius and Remus were...let's say, 'getting rid of frustrations'." Both Remus and Sirius glared at Ana, but both kept their mouths shut, which only made my smirk bigger.
We all began clearing the room, getting it ready for sleeping. James and Lily slept in a sleeping bag, as did Sirius and Ana. Peter had his own and moved well away from everyone, as he still smelt like dragon dung. My sleeping bag got stuck and wouldn't close, but I'm a big girl so I didn't say anything but tried to go to sleep. Remus lay near me in his own sleeping bag.
After 20 minutes of not being able to sleep, I sat up in the blanket that should be a sleeping bag, and stretched my hands above my head. I thought that everyone else was sleeping, because all I could hear were their slow breathing, but Remus got up and moved his sleeping bag to sit next to me.
"Hey, can't sleep?" He asked, looking at me concerned. I shook my head, my teeth chattering quietly because of the cold. Remus put his arm around my shoulder and rubbed his hand up and down my arm, to try and warm me up. Sadly, it wasn't working. So, I, being the very ingenious person I am, did something shocking to the both of us.
I got out of my blanket and opened the zip of his sleeping bag, got in and zipped it up behind me. Then, to make it even worse (or better, depends what the consequences will be) I cuddled up into his chest and fell asleep almost immediately. He was just so warm, and soft, and smelt so very nice, that it lulled me to sleep. During my crazy moment, Remus just sat tense in his sleeping bag, probably wondering what the hell I was doing. Then when he saw I was asleep he finally shook his tenseness off, lay down and slept peacefully for the first time in weeks.
