Truth or Dare contd.

Harry and Ginny exchanged a silent look before George (Harry had finally learned to tell the twin's apart easily) took their attention.

"Now guys, I trust you all know how to play 'Truth or Dare' but there are different variations soo…"

Fred picked up his twin's train of thought. "These are ours. One person asks the person of their choice…"

"Except the person who just asked them." Cat interjected.

"Truth or Dare," finished George. This stone we've invented will turn purple if you lie, green if you tell the truth…" The stone in his hand continued to glow neon green as he placed it in the centre. "… And striped if you leave some of the story out. The penalty for refusing a truth or dare is removing an article of clothing."

"And on that note," Fred said, grinning wildly, "Harry, truth or dare?"

Harry paled. He did NOT trust the twins. "Truth" he muttered quickly.

"Who was the girl in Albania?" Fred responded instantly.

Harry blushed. He'd wondered when this would come up again. "That was Hermione's aunt in the picture." Remus snickered as the stone glowed striped. "She's a detective – kind of like a muggle auror – and at the time, she was in disguise as a prostitute." Remus was all out laughing now, Tonks was grinning and all the other contestants looked relieved. Ginny – Harry sought her eyes – looked … happy.

Turning to Remus, his face still red, he simply asked, "Remus, truth or dare."

Obviously his years as a marauder were still affecting his reflexes as he answered instinctively, "Truth."

Harry could feel himself giving a mischievous smile that seemed to unnerve both Remus and Cat. "What happened between you and Tonks just before Dumbledore's funeral?"

Remus blushed and took off a shoe while Tonks avoided her laughing companions' eyes. "Cat, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Kiss Harry."

Cat made a face and pulled her jumper over her head to reveal an overlarge t-shirt with a picture of a dragon on it that made Charlie blush and Ginny smirk. "No offence Harry, but I saw you being born. I can't kiss you when I saw you being born. That's … gross. Charlie, truth or dare?"

Harry couldn't blame him for choosing truth. The look on Cat's face was just as bad as the twins if not worse. He looked at Remus who looked like he couldn't quite believe what he was seeing. He blinked, looked again, rubbed his eyes, shook his head and joined in with teasing Charlie for admitting that his first crush had been on Madam Rosmerta.

Unsure what it meant, Harry continued to watch as Hermione was forced to admit that she had had a crush on Remus in third year. He was glad Ron had gone out of the room at that point for snacks. Tonight wasn't time for another of his 'jealous moments'.

And so the game continued. It got a bit boring after a while, so no one objected to Fred and George said he had another game for them to play.

"It's called 'I never'" Fred explained as George handed out the shot glasses. "and it's a muggle drinking game. Basically, everyone takes a turn to say 'I never did-something-or-other' and everyone who has, has to have a drink." He reached over into his bag and pulled out a bottle from the bag and put it in the centre.

"This bottle," George continued, having finished with the glasses. "is charmed to pour out the drinks to those who need them. So let's begin. I've never got a scar."

The bottle poured drinks to Harry, Ginny, Ron, Charlie, Tonks, Remus and Fred who all downed the drinks. Harry recognised it as fire-whiskey.

Ron, who was next, said "I've never got married." His smile was huge as Cat alone drank.

"What?" she exclaimed. "We got divorced. I was very, very drunk"

"I've never been caught kissing by a teacher." Hermione stated. Ron blushed red as his, Ginny's, Tonks' and Remus' filled. Remus' caught quite a few stares.

"I'll have you know," He responded. "That I have the record of the prefect with the most detentions in Hogwarts history."

Harry was still rather jealous at Ginny's drink. His mind conjured up images of her and Dean and her and Michael, but he pushed them away. He had no right to be jealous. He wasn't her boyfriend any more.

Cat was next and simply said "I've never gone out with someone to make someone else jealous."

Tonks, Charlie, Ginny, Ron and Hermione all had to drink after that one. Thinking of Lavender and Krum, Harry said his own. "I've never dated someone before I've kissed them." He blushed at all the stares; he hadn't meant to say that.

Everyone else, except Ron, drank to that one.

Ginny smiled cheekily as she said "I've never given anyone outside my family my clothes." Charlie glared at her as he drank, along with Hermione, Tonks and Remus.

By the end of the game, Harry was thankful he hadn't done much and so had remained fairly sober. Fred and George were singing – rather loudly and out of tune – a very rude song about a wizard from Norway. Tonks and Remus were attempting to leave, but kept bashing into things and collapsing in laughter. Hermione and Ron had sloped off a while back, when they'd got enough alcohol in their system to start snogging. Charlie and Cat were whispering on the sofa, as he helped Ginny to her room (AND LEFT).

It was about twenty minutes later when he realised he'd left one of his shoes downstairs. He was only half-way down the last flight of stairs when he hard the radio.

Cat, who'd obviously had a sobering charm cast on her, was cleaning up while Charlie fiddled with the radio. Quite suddenly, a new song came on.

Harry watched as Cat straightened up and turned round. "You did that on purpose," she jokingly accused as Charlie took hold of one hand and put another on her waist.

They waltzed beautifully together, obviously used to the steps and style. "You've improved," she muttered, smiling very wide. Harry thought she looked very happy, something he'd never associated with dancing.

Charlie lent in and kissed her, much to her evident enjoyment and Harry's shock. "I had a good teacher," he told Cat, once they'd broken apart.

Feeling like he was intruding on a private moment, Harry turned round and went back up the stairs. Something told him Cat wouldn't be sleeping in her own bed tonight.
