"Nope," I said to Harry in his room that night.
"But Ron is obviously overreacting to this whole situation," he said
"But you're both acting like idiots. I'm not on either of your sides," I said.
"You wanna see jealous? Look at Malfoy the next time I give Seamus or a hug. That is jealousy," I said.
"Hannah, gimme a break. I'm not gonna really look at you if you give Seamus a hug. I might have the urge to strangle him," Harry said looking over to Seamus' bed. I rolled my eyes. "It would be so easy just to smother him while he's asleep. . ."
"Lovely thought, Harry," I said.
"So, after the game tonight, I'm going out to see, Hagrid," he said.
"What for?" I asked.
Harry shrugged. "Knowing Hagrid it could be anything."
There was a knock on the door and then in leaned Parvati.
"You guys are still playing truth or dare right?" she asked. "We're about to get started. Come on."
Harry and I followed Parvati downstairs to the common room.
We all sat downstairs on the floor. Harry and me, my roommates, his roommates, and Ginny.
"If you fail to answer a question or follow through on a dare you have to confess your undying love for Malfoy if you're a boy and Parkinson if you're a girl," Dean said.
"Isn't that kind of backwards?" Emily asked.
"No. That's exactly right," Ron said.
"We get to pick next time," I said.
"Now Neville you go first," Seamus said.
"Uh... Ginny, truth or dare?" he asked. Ginny thought for a moment.
"Dare and don't hold back. Give me all that you've got," Ginny said. "I will do anything." Ginny, who was sitting next to me, gave me a high five.
"Alright. . . I uh. . . I dare you to kiss Hannah," Neville said.
"Hey! I veto this dare," Ron said.
"Me too! Have my sister kiss another girl?" Harry said. Me and Ginny exchanged glances.
*So
they want us to side with them because they're against each other but
they're joining together to stop a dare? I'm gonna go through with
this because they're being such assholes! BWAH HA HA HA!*
Ginny
leaned over and kissed me and surprisingly, it was pretty
good.
Ginny pulled away from me and everyone was dead silent.
Dean started clapping.
"Alright! That was awesome. You should totally do that again. Oh! Except Hannah should kiss Hermione and Ginny should kiss Parvati," Dean said.
"Dean, you make anymore suggestions about my sister like that and you won't wake up when you go to sleep," Harry said. Dean shrank back a little.
"Let the record show that Ginny Weasley will do anything," Parvati said.
"You okay Hannah?" Ginny asked.
"I'm cool. I actually feel a lot better than I have all day," I said.
"Let the record show that Hannah is not allowed to kiss anymore girls during truth or dare," Hermione said.
"I second that motion," Harry said.
*Let me mind rape them one more time*
I reached in my mouth and pulled out my altoid.
"This isn't mine," I said.
"Oh! That's where it went!" Ginny said. She took the altoid and put it in her mouth.
"This is the most awesome game of truth or dare that I've ever played. And it's only the first round," Parvati said. "We owe that to you Neville."
"I'm honored," he said. We all laughed.
"Lemme go next," Parvati said. "Hermione. Truth or dare."
"Uh. . . Dare," she said. Parvati whispered the dare in her ear.
"NO! NO! NO!" Hermione said. Parvati shrugged.
"Okay. I just hope Pansy Parkinson loves you back. Rejection is hard to take when you love someone," Parvati said. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"I hate you. . . I'll do it," Hermione said. "Who's next?"
"What about your dare?" Seamus asked.
"She can't complete it until the time I stated. Don't worry. She'll so it. I'll make sure of it," Parvati said.
"Okay... I'll go next," Dean said. "How about Hannah. Truth or dare?"
"Uh. . . Truth," I said. "I don't trust you with dares."
"I understand. . . Uh. . . Who've you ever had a crush on that you've never admitted to liking?" Dean asked.
Everyone seemed to turn and look at me.
"Well. . . Uh. . ." I thought for a second. "Fred."
"Fred? My brother Fred?" Ron asked. I nodded.
"Me too," Parvati said.
"No way! Me too," Hermione said.
"It was like last year," I said. "He was just really cute. But now I can only look at him as a brother or something."
"It was something about him in third year," Parvati said.
"He was just so. . ." Hermione sighed.
"Okay this is making me sick can we move on?" Ginny asked. "Ron truth or dare?"
"Dare," Ron said confidently.
Ginny laughed evilly.
"Hold on a second," Ginny said. She got up and ran upstairs. We all looked around at each other.
"What's that about?" Ron asked.
"Who knows?" Parvati said filing her nails.
Ginny came down stairs with one of her school uniforms, eye liner, lip gloss and a pair of heels.
"Are those my shoes?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah. Hope you don't mind. Ron can't fit my shoe's," Ginny said.
"Excuse me?" Ron asked.
"Oh, this is gonna be great," Harry said.
"Shut up Harry," Ron said angrily.
"Oh, I will. I'd rather just watch anyway," Harry said.
"Ron. . . I dare you to dress up like a girl and go sing. . . 'First' to Professor Snape."
"What? You want me to sing a Lindsay Lohan song to Snape?" Ron asked.
"I didn't stutter Ron," Ginny replied.
Harry started laughing. "Wow, this is gonna be great."
"I'm not doing it," Ron said.
"Of course you're not. You'd rather give Malfoy another reason to burn you," Harry said.
Ron groaned.
"Give me the skirt," Ron said. Ginny handed him the uniform and accessories. Ron walked upstairs to the dorm.
"Where did you think of that dare?" Seamus asked.
"Well actually Hannah thought of it for me," Ginny said.
"Whoa. I'm dating an evil genius," Seamus said.
"Is that really a good thing?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know," Seamus said. I looked over at Hermione and smiled. She shook her head.
"Honestly, people seem to lose all touch with reality when they start dating," Hermione said.
"Which means it will happen to you," Emily said.
"Whatever. I'm perfectly in touch with reality. I'm too in touch to lose my grip with it now," Hermione said.
"That's what Hannah said," Parvati replied.
"Hannah was never in touch with reality to begin with. That's a bad example," Harry replied.
I heard someone coming down the stairs. Obviously Ron. I could hear them struggling to walk in the pumps.
Ron came to the bottom of the stairs and glared at Ginny evilly.
"I hate you," he said. Ginny smiled.
"Let's go. He should still be in his office. You can wear your hooded cloak till you get there if you want," Ginny said. Ron groaned.
We reached Professor Snape's office. I could hear him straightening out the desk on the other side of the door. Ginny pushed Ron over and made him knock. The rest of us went and watched from the room across the hall.
Snape opened his door and his eyes widened at the sight of Ron.
"Weasley?" he asked.
Ron open his mouth and began to sing:
IS
THAT SOMEONE YOU USED TO DATE?
WHY SHE HANGING AROUND HERE, WHAT'S
HER STORY?
DOESN'T SHE KNOW, THAT IT'S TOO LATE
THAT THE PARTY
IS OVER AND
THE CARIS FOR ME?
WHY DON'T YOU TELL HER WHAT'S BEEN GOIN
ON
CAUSE SHE SEEMS TO BE DREAMIN INSTEAD OF JUSTLEAVIN
AND IF
YOU DON'T HAVE THE HEART TO FILL HER IN
THEN JUST STEP ASIDE AND
LET ME LAY IT ON THE LINE
CAUSE
YOU'RE MINE
AND TONIGHT YOU DON'T REVOLVE AROUND HER
YOU'RE
MINE AND THIS
TIME
I'M GONNA SCREAM A LITTLE LOUDER.
DON'T WANNA BE
LIKE
EVERY OTHER GIRL IN THE WORLD
LIKE EVERY OTHER ONEWHO
WANTS YOU
CAUSE WHEN I SEE YOU SOMETHIN INSIDE ME BURNS ANDTHEN I
REALIZE
I WANNA COME FIRST!
Before
Ron could begin the second verse Snape grabbed him by Ginny's
sweater.
"You will stop singing, go up to your dormitory, change into some decent clothes and you will never speak of this night again do you understand?" Snape said. Ron nodded. Snape walked into his classroom and slammed the door behind him. We all came out of the room across the hall and started laughing at Ron.
I walked him down the corridor and back up to Gryffindor Tower to continue our game of truth or dare.
After Ron changed clothes it was Seamus' turn.
"Emily, truth or dare?" he asked.
"Truth," she said without hesitation.
"Okay who do you have a crush on?" Seamus asked.
"Um. . ." she began. Her curly blonde hair hung over her obviously red face. "I like. . . Fred."
"Dude I can totally hook you two up," I said.
"No. . ." Emily said. "Not you."
I frowned at her. "Fine."
"Alright, whose turn is it now?" Seamus said.
"I'll go! I'll go! Harry Truth or dare?" I asked.
"I'll go with. . . Dare," Harry said.
"Alright. I dare you too. . . Streak through the girls' dorm singing 'I'm Too sexy' and dancing," I said.
"I don't want to see Harry Potter naked," Neville says.
"Fuck you, Neville. I do," Parvati said.
"I second that," Hermione said.
"Harry go strip," Emily said.
"But Harry'll get detention for a year if he does that," Ginny said.
"Fine. Then don't streak. Just put on a strip show, but you have to sing and you have to dance," I said. Harry groaned and ran upstairs. We all followed. Harry stood in the middles of the girls' dorm. I walked over to my room.
"I refuse to watch my brother dance around in his underwear but I trust Hermione and Parvati will let this dare go through," I said. I walked into my room and closed the door. I pressed my ear to the door and listened as the girls went knocking on the door of every girl in the dorm. When you heard Harry beginning to sing there was dead silence. The boys started yelling and complaining so Harry obviously started taking his clothes off. I began to laugh as I heard some of the girls start cheering.
After a few minutes I heard doors closing and then my door opened. Harry stood on the other side glaring at me.
"I see you're fully clothed again," I joked.
"I hate you," he said. "Do you know how much damage control I'm gonna have to do?" I smiled.
"That was so awesome," Emily said.
"We should dare him to do that every time," Ginny said.
"Well let's go down stairs, it's my turn," Ron said. Parvati looked over at Hermione who rolled her eyes. We all went downstairs and reformed our circle.
"Alright Ron go for it," Neville said.
"Umm Parvati-."
Hermione moaned.
"You okay Hermione?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded.
"Alright," Ron began "Truth or -?"
Hermione moaned again. Something was up.
Ron ignored her again and tried to ask Parvati a question but each time Hermione would moan. Each moan was more intense than the last till finally truth or dare turned into a scene from When Harry Met Sally.
"God damn it Hermione!" Ginny said frustrated. "Get a dildo or something. Just shut up."
I began to laugh along with Parvati.
"Alright Hermione. That's enough. Let him talk," Parvati said.
"The dare. That was the dare wasn't it?" Neville asked. Parvati and Hermione nodded.
"That was awesome. I really believed that you were turned on by the sound of Ron's voice," Ginny said.
"I think we've had enough truth or dare for one night. I have to go see Hagrid now. I'll see you guys later," Harry said.
"Remember, next game night is the weekend before Halloween," Seamus said.
We all got up and went to our rooms and Harry left the tower with his cloak.
Truth or Dare was very exciting. I supposed that the next time we played I wouldn't go so harshly on Harry and Ron that is, unless they were still pissed at each other.
