"Amber, I don't know where I put it," Dawnelle said frantically. Her stuff was lying around the room covering the floor in a disorderly fashion since she had been tearing it all apart.
"Are you sure? Where is the last place you had it?"
"Well, I had it when we left Lily's room. It was the last thing I grabbed on the way out. I put it in my back pocket."
"Dawnelle, what if it fell out of your pocket?"
"That would mean… oh no," she groaned. Both girls stood in the seventh year girls dorm looking worried. It was 9:00 and they were getting ready to go meet Lily and the boys for this ridiculous game.
"That would mean the Marauders now have our list," Amber finished.
"We'll never hear the end of it."
"Oh man, we better tell Lily."
"Yeah. That's just what she needs. James Potter having a list of what she wants in a guy." Both girls looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Come on, let's go," Amber said. She grabbed a pink hoodie to cover her black tube top.
"So, how bad do you think this game will get?" Dawnelle asked.
"Having second thoughts are we? Well just remember you got us into this."
"No! I'm just asking!" Dawnelle replied defensively.
"Just kidding love!" Amber said jokingly. They reached the portrait of the blue pumpkin that marked the heads dorm.
"Swigniffle," Dawnelle said to the pumpkin. It swung open and they entered the common room. She pulled a sweater on over her purple long sleeve tee. Lily came out to greet them wearing a low cut green top revealing a pink camisole underneath.
"Ah look, the girls didn't chicken out! James you owe me five sickles!" Sirius said, as the three boys entered the room.
"And you owe me ten," Remus said to Sirius. Sirius growled.
"Wait, you guys bet we wouldn't show up!?" Amber asked incredulously.
"Well, I didn't," Remus replied.
"Oh well aren't you Mr. Nice-Guy," James said sarcastically.
"Before we start arguing over this can we start this stupid game?" Dawnelle asked, much to everyone's surprise. "Though I can't believe you three actually bet against us showing up."
"Sure, sure, we can start," Sirius said slyly. James smiled that smile that Lily found incredibly irksome. "Here's the scoop. We start the game with a charmed oath that ensures we do every dare, oh and if your name is put in a dare you have to do it as well. And when we get a truth we take a truth potion to ensure we are telling the actual truth. Plus it adds to the amusement of all when you get a question that you don't want to answer truthfully."
"You're sick," Dawnelle said.
"Oh, someone dare her to make out with me please," Sirius said. Remus rolled his eyes. James put the charm out and everyone agreed to do whatever dares they got. The boys were excited. The girls were anxious and nervous, and the boys knew it.
They were sitting in a circle on the floor in front of the fire place. Lily was sitting between Amber and Dawnelle. Amber was next to Remus and Dawnelle sat next to Sirius. James sat between the boys.
"Who is going first?" Remus asked.
"You asked, so you are," Sirius answered smugly.
"Damn," Remus said.
"Truth or Dare?" James asked.
"Truth." He took a sip of the truth potion.
"Ever slept with someone in this room?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah," he admitted. He didn't look at anyone. Several surprised glances were thrown around the circle.
"Amber you next." She chose truth and took the potion.
"Have you ever made out with someone you haven't dated?" Remus asked.
"Yeah, lots," Amber said grinning.
"Lily your turn."
"Whose choosing my fate?" she asked suspiciously.
"Sorry, we don't get to reveal that," Sirius grinned.
"Fine. Truth."
"Boring," Sirius sighed. She sipped the potion. "Have you ever written a list on what you want in a guy?" he asked grinning. Amber and Dawnelle blushed and turned away from their friend.
"What? No… N… Ah! YES," she admitted. She glowered at her friends.
"Sorry Lil, Dawnelle lost the list."
"Sure did!" Sirius said. "Ok Dawnelle."
"Dare."
"Make out with me," Sirius said. Lily and Amber rolled their eyes. Dawnelle moved herself closer to him and kissed him. Before they got to involved James pulled them apart.
"Ok enough," he said, "Your turn buddy."
"Dare!"
"Wear one of Dawnelle's shirts to classes on Monday," Amber said smirking.
"What?!" he exclaimed. James and Remus laughed.
"That was good," Remus said.
"Gah," Sirius said. He looked to James. The game continued in such a fashion getting considerably more dirty the whole time. Several items of clothing were removed, James lost his shirt, Sirius, his pants, Amber, her hoodie. Sirius was forced to admit that he had at some point in his life kissed a guy. Dawnelle had to admit that she wasn't dating lately because she was seriously crushing on someone. Lily and Amber had to kiss, luckily no one specified where so they got away with pecks on the cheeks. Remus was forced to ballroom dance with James. This continued on for a couple of hours. The girls were finding themselves actually having fun.
"Ok, final round," James said, his eyes glowing. The girls were all trying not to stare too much at his extremely well toned chest and stomach. Lily kept praying the dare would wear off and he would put his shirt back on. He, of course, was making endless comments about how much she must like it. She wanted to hit him. "Remus."
"Truth."
"Have you ever slept with Amber?" He had already been asked this about James, Lily, and Dawnelle. Everyone could see the struggle on his face as he fought the truth potion. Finally he sighed.
"Yes." James and Sirius laughed and clapped. Amber avoided his gaze and shrugged to her friends.
"Amber, last turn," Remus said apologetically.
"Truth."
"Would you date a werewolf?" James asked. Everyone looked at him.
"Um… yeah, I guess if I liked him."
"Good," he said with out thinking. "Lily, your turn."
"Dare, I guess."
"You guess?" Sirius said smirking. "Ok. Shirt, off."
"What? I… oh fine." She pulled the green top off and sat in her revealing pink lace camisole.
"Dawnelle," she said.
"Dare."
"Wear Sirius' pants to classes on Monday," Amber said.
"What? Amber! You're nuts!"
"No way out now hun," she said smiling.
"Ok fine."
"Here, you can have these," Sirius said throwing her the pants he'd been forced to remove.
"I want clean ones!" she exclaimed.
"No such thing," Remus said. "You ever seen our dorm?"
"Yes," she said.
"Then you know his shit is all over the floor."
"James too but I guess he has his own room to mess up this year."
"True!"
"Fine," she grabbed Sirius' pants, "I'll clean these."
"I always knew you wanted to get into my pants baby," Sirius smirked.
"She already has," Lily pointed out.
"Ah, yes that is true," Sirius said dreamily.
"Ok, next!" Dawnelle said, looking at Sirius.
"Dare."
"Go one week without kissing another girl..." Dawnelle looked at him slyly
"WHAT! THAT'S CRUEL!" he cried in outrage. She smiled seductively.
"I'm not done yet," she said. "Go a week, without kissing any girl, besides me."
"Oh." He looked much more peaceful now. "I can do that."
"Good."
"Ah, my good friend James, you're last. What'll it be?"
"Gotta finish this with a dare."
"Oh good," Sirius said. He smirked and looked at Lily.
"Sirius…" she warned getting wind of what he was about to say.
"To late now." He grinned at her. "James, kiss Lily, on the lips."
"WHAT?! NO WAY!" Lily yelled. She leapt at Sirius, attempting to claw his eyes out.
"Hey! A dare is a dare!" he replied, holding her back. She wasn't any where near able to over power him. Finally he threw her back and she hit James, who had stood up behind her.
"I'm not doing this!" she said. She could feel the charm now though. She knew she would have to consent eventually.
"Come on Lily, you know you wanna see what kinda kisser our Jamesy is."
"Sirius, don't call me Jamesy."
"Jamesy, Jamesy, Jamesy," Sirius said in a sing song voice. "Now go kiss Lily.
Before she had a chance to argue he turned her around, pushed her up against the wall and kissed her full on. She was so shocked her breath caught in her throat and before she realized what was going on she actually responded. He slipped his tongue inside her mouth and she almost found herself enjoying the moment. Then she realized, as she felt his bare chest, that this was James Potter. She pushed him away.
"That!" she said pointing at James, "was not a kiss!"
"Yeah, well," he said guiltily. Sirius was laughing, Remus looked amused and Amber and Dawnelle were trying not to crack up. "you are the one who let it get that far!" Lily yelled out in frustration.
"You are so annoying!"
"Wow Evans, what a pathetic comeback," he said. He was just trying to get a rise out of her. Unfortunately, it was working.
"Well," Remus said standing up, "I think we've had quite enough of this game for one night. I'm going to bed."
"We'll go with you," Amber said as she and Dawnelle got up. Dawnelle was holding Sirius' pants as though they were a toxic substance. "Don't hurt yourself Lily," Amber added as the three left the room.
"SIRIUS BLACK! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Lily yelled, spinning around to face him.
"What?" he asked giving her a puppy dog look of innocence.
"Evans, you wanna go out with me? I mean we kissed so we're practically dating now right?" James said grinning. She threw herself at him screaming. He dodged her attack and let her hit Sirius instead, who was sitting on the floor behind them looking at the mess they had created.
"YOW!" he yelled as she fell over him, landing in his lap. He looked down at her and said, "Evans, I knew you liked me this whole time but I never knew you would literally fall for me!" He kissed her on the cheek. She smacked him as James laughed.
"Hey get off my girl!" he said.
"Your girl fell on me! See, I knew I could get any girl you couldn't!"
"Yeah, but we just agreed she is now going out with me."
"Excuse me! I'm sitting right here!" Lily exclaimed.
"Yes, that you are," Sirius said grinning. She made a sound of disgust and pulled herself up out of his lap.
"You are both disgusting." She grabbed her shirt and left the common room.
"Good night, love!" James called after her. He then ducked to avoid the paper weight that came flying towards his head.
