Chapter 1

As Harry sat down a parchment appeared in front of Professor Snape and the professor took it and began to read:

"Dear students(and professors),

Some of you might have an idea of what you're going to do now. There will appear some glasses in front of you which will contain Veritaserum. You have to drink it and then the glasses will refill but this time with water which you can drink when you're thirsty. Above your head there will be a floating zero which will tell you and your fellow students(and professors) how many I've nevers you have done. Yeah, you heard right. You're going to play I've Never. Have fun!

Yours sincerely,

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore"

As Snape had read the letter everyone had taken the Veritaserum and was now staring at the zeroes which danced above their heads before they settled their gaze at Harry's zero. Harry's was gold and silver with a red snake and a green griffin moving around it. The other Griffindors had a golden zero with a red griffin and the Slytherins had a green zero with a silver snake.

When everyone was ready Minerva McGonagall began the game: "I've never been able to tell Albus Dumbledore that he don't have any taste in clothing." At this both Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter were forced to raise their hands and their zero changed into number one. There had been placed a spell so that anyone who had done the I've never had to answer.

A Slytherin girl, named Millicent Bulstrode, went next and straight to the slightly naughty side of the game. "I've never fancied a professor." Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, Blaise Zabini, Draco and Harry raised hands to this, each of them sporting a slight blush. A parchment appeared at the table and Dumbledore's voice rang out in the room: "I totally forgot to tell you that after each I've never, if the parchment glow, you have to tell the others about it." Everyone who had just raised their hands groaned when the parchment glowed and hid their faces in their hands.

Millicent turned to Hermione. "Which of the professors?" Hermione closed her eyes before she answered. "Lockhart." Quiet laughter filled the room. Lavender was next. "Lockhart." Then Parvati. "Lockhart" The laughter grew. Blaise looked around the room and sighed. "Professor Snape." It went quiet and everyone turned to the Potion professor who stared blankly at Blaise. Draco muttered: "Professor Snape." Which made Severus' normally blank surface shift a little. Now everyone was staring at Harry who was fidgeting nervously with his tie. "Professor Snape." He whispered and shock spread across Severus' face.

Hermione was next. "I've never cheated on a test." Tracey Davis, Lavender, Daphne Greengrass, Parvati, Blaise, Dean Thomas, Theodore Nott, Pansy Parkinson, Ron Weasley, Seamus Finnigan, Gregory Goyle, Neville Longbottom and Vincent Crabbe raised their hands. Everyone looked at Harry but when he didn't rise his hand they looked at the parchment on the table it didn't glow.

The next out was Tracey, a Slytherin girl. "I've never broken a bone before I went to Hogwarts." Both Harry and Severus raised their hands and the parchment glowed and a question appeared above it: "How did it happen the first time and when?" Harry looked away and began. "I was four years old and was cleaning the kitchen-" confusing sounds filled the air. "-when my uncle came home. He was drunk and obviously I hadn't done a well enough job and he broke my left wrist. The next morning it was totally healed." Severus stared at Harry and an unrecognisable emotion played over his face. "I was five years old. I tried to defend my mother when my father come home drunk and began to hit her."

Severus motioned for Lavender to continue the game when everyone seemed to be in deep thoughts.
