A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter! Hope you enjoy this one! :)
Chapter 6
*"Aww, bless you Ronald," Ginny said. "So, who's next?" Hermione span the bottle, still trying to conceal her face. She didn't want anyone to see the grin that was plastered upon it.*
The bottle landed on Fred.
"Me again? I think I'll pick truth again, and then I'll do all dares," he requested immediately.
"Okay, this is hard. I don't think there is much I don't know about you," George said thoughtfully.
"I've got one," Sirius informed everyone importantly. They all looked at him expectantly. Fred wasn't forgetting that Sirius was a Marauder, and was a little apprehensive when he had ideas. "Are you a virgin?" Sirius finished, smiling evilly. Fred's mouth dropped open, and everyone looked at him, not sure if they wanted an answer.
"Go on Fred," Hermione said, hurrying him along. George was looking curiously, and Ron was wearing a face of disgust at the question. Ginny and Harry just looked awkward.
"No, I am not a virgin," Fred told everyone, looking up sheepishly.
"Really?" George asked. He seemed a bit calmer than everyone else. Sirius was just smirking, looking very pleased with himself. Fred nodded at George's question.
"When, where and who?" Sirius pressed. Fred was about to say 'only one question allowed' but as soon as him mouth opened, the Veritaserum began its work.
"Last Easter in the Room of Requirement, and erm, Angelina Johnson," he said, flushing deep crimson, and glaring at Sirius, who still looked very pleased with himself. George let out a low whistle.
"Blimey, you didn't wait long, did you?" George said. Fred looked up, still red in the face. He shrugged, and gave a sheepish smile.
"We're not proud of it," he told everyone.
"Okay guys, let's move on," Harry encouraged. Hermione picked up the bottle and span it, willing it not to land on herself.
"Ginny!" she said brightly. Ginny considered for a moment.
"Dare, with someone else," she chose.
"Okay, here's the bottle," said Hermione, rolling it to her. Ginny swiftly span it. It landed on George, and he grinned at her. She returned it; 'this should be fun,' she thought. She looked to everyone else, and they were buried in thought. Ginny and George looked at each other, eyebrows raised.
"You seem to be giving this a fair bit of thought, guys," George observed. None of them looked up for a moment.
"Got it!" Hermione said suddenly. Everyone jumped out of their trances to listen.
"This better be good Hermione, I can't think of one at all," Ron moaned.
"I'm sure it is, by the look on her face," Harry said, smiling.
"Right. You two have to completely swap every item of clothing-"
"Even underwear?"
"Yes, Ginny, even underwear, and then run around the house trying to imitate the opposite gender. Do it until your mum bursts out of the meeting, about to yell at you, and then look innocent while she looks perplexed for a moment at your attire." Everyone excluding Ginny and George gave a shout of laughter and congratulated Hermione.
"But, how do you know how mum will react? I don't think she'll notice our clothes, just be angry for making such a noise." George said.
"Well, she'll be looking at your faces, so George, in addition, you must plaster your face with makeup, like really over the top, and see what she does then." Everyone continued to laugh.
"Okay then Hermione. Come on George. Let's, erm, swap clothing!"
"Can we go outside to do this?" George asked.
"Yes, but you must come back in so I can do your makeup," Fred said cheerily.
"You?" George looked a bit nervous. Fred nodded, and Ginny pulled George out of the room and closed the door.
"Hermione, you really are quite a genius when it comes to dares. I never thought it of you really."
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me Ronald," she replied, smiling slightly.
"Oh, I hope it's lunch soon! I'm starving to death here!" Sirius moaned.
"Honestly, do boys only think about food?" Hermione said, exasperated.
"No, we think of other things too," Fred cut in.
"Like what?" Hermione said, raising her hands in wonder.
"Erm, girls and Quidditch?" it was almost a question.
"Anything else?" she pressed.
"Erm, no," Harry and Ron both concluded. Hermione sighed. Then the door opened, and the two walked back in. everyone laughed at the sight of George in a flowery muggle jumper and skin-tight jeans, rather like Ron's. Ginny looked a bit more ordinary, in a Weasley jumper and baggy trousers.
"Looking pretty fine there George!" Harry commented. George grinned goofily.
"Come here, oh twin of mine," Fred commanded of George. George walked to him, and stood patiently amongst the sniggers coming from everyone else while Fred completed the makeup.
"There," he said, with an air of finality. Everyone roared with laughter. George looked around, and grabbed a mirror from the table. He gazed, mouth open at his reflection and then began to join in with the laughing. Fred had given him bright pink fluorescent lipstick, put red lipstick in circles on each cheek, put green eye shadow on him all the way up to and over his eyebrows, and gotten eyeliner and drawn on fake eyelashes.
"George, you look an absolute picture," Ginny said through her giggles. He grinned.
"Right little Ginevra," Ginny scowled at the use of her full name, "Let's go complete our dare!" they left the room. George put on an outrageously high pitched voice and started to speak.
"Oh, hello everyone, my name is Ginevra Molly Weasley, and I'm in love with the beautiful green eyed Harry potter! Oh he is such a hero to me! I will marry him one day! Oh, I hope these kisses I blow to him will find him!" they heard laughter from the living room. Ginny scowled and smacked her brother on the arm. He smirked, having imitated her from when she was about nine years old. "Your turn," he told her. Ginny let her voice drop extremely low.
"I'm George Fabian Weasley. I'm about 64 and I have a head the size of a watermelon. I'm so stuck up my own arse and incredibly big headed, but everyone loves me because I'm a Weasley twin! In fact, I'm the better looking Weasley twin! I rock! I'm the most amazing person on the planet and I want everyone to bow down to me because I'm worth it!" George glared at Ginny, still the pair of them running full pelt down the passages of Grimmauld Place. They could still hear raucous laughter coming from the living room. As they passed the kitchen, Snape stepped out.
"What in Merlin's na-"
"Oh Professor Snape! I'm so pleased you're here! It's an honour!" George proclaimed in a high voice.
"How do you do?" Ginny uttered deeply. They sped past, leaving Snape stood there open mouthed, and were just passing the dining room when the door flew open. They both skidded to a halt.
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF GODRIC GRYFF-" Mrs. Weasley stopped in her tracks as she took in the appearances of her children.
"Hi mum," Ginny said in the lowest voice she could muster.
"Do you like my new look?" George asked piercingly, striking a pose. Mrs. Weasley stared, until a loud shout of laughter brought her to her senses.
"What on earth are you two doing? Do you know how important these meetings are? They determine the fate of our world, and all you lot can do is interrupt them! Do you want You-Know-Who to take over the world and destroy more families?" Ginny and George looked sheepish.
"George, go and wipe that makeup off. I can't take you seriously with that on."
"Okay mum." Molly winced at the high noise.
"I don't want to have to shout or get angry at you anymore. This is your last chance! One more interruption, and you won't know what's hit you, the lot of you! Now go!" she commanded. Ginny bowed and George curtseyed before they both sped off.
They entered the living room to hysterical laughter and applause. They both bowed and curtseyed again.
"Thankyou very much," they both stated proudly, in their mimicking voices.
"That was brilliant. Hermione, you're amazing," Sirius said, tears running down his face with laughter. She giggled in return.
After they had all calmed down, Sirius conjured up a wizard camera, and took a shot of George.
"That should be developed by the end of the holidays. You can show everyone at school," he informed them. George groaned.
"Okay, okay, stop bullying me! Hermione spin again. She did so, and it came to a stop on Sirius.
"Right, well, I think for this time I'll go for truth," he said. Everyone immersed themselves into deep thought.
"Okay Sirius." It was Harry who spoke. "This isn't particularly funny, but I just want to know. I've always heard that my mum hated my dad when they were in school. I just want to know how they ended up married." Sirius looked mildly surprised at the question.
"Well, it was always Snape to start with-"
"Hang on – Silencio," George said, directing his wand at the door so Snape couldn't hear them. "Carry on Sirius."
"He and James met on the train, and Lily was with him. Your dad fancied her from the first time he laid eyes on her. There was never any other girl for him, it was always Lily. The trouble for him, was that Snape never wanted him to go near Lily, he cared for her too much, and I think he fancied her too, so didn't want James going near her. Anyway, he never missed an opportunity to hex James, and James was always one for retaliating. Sometimes, quite often actually, it was the other way around, and James, Remus, Peter and I hexed Snape whenever we saw him. It angered Lily, because she cared for Snape. She was forever yelling at James, but occasionally, it seemed she would have a soft spot for him. When Snape was annoying her, she would go off on her own and James would always find her and manage to cheer her up.
"She began to get confused about her feelings, and was usually just as angry with Snape for hexing James as she was for James hexing Snape. We always saw it as a good thing when she wasn't speaking to him, because he hated it. Snape got in with some death-eater friends, and Lily didn't like that. But when she made friends, and was occasionally friendly to us four, Snape got angry and told her that he should be her only friend. As the years went on, she never stopped being friends with 'Sev' as she called him. But she never really made proper friends with us four, well, maybe Remus, who liked to study as much as she did.
"Well, every single year and every single opportunity James got, he would ask Lily to go on a date with him. She declined every time. But, when we got to our seventh year, we 'matured' as much as the Marauders could mature, and she began to see us in a new light. Finally, after years of asking, she agreed to go on a date with him. James was so ecstatic that day, he kissed her, and they went out ever since. He told the whole school over dinner one night, and pulled her onto the table with him and kissed her passionately. The whole school, apart from the Slytherins, applauded, because they had been waiting for seven years for it to happen. Snape stormed from the great hall and didn't speak to Lily for a month. But, surprisingly, she didn't care. Because she finally found that she really liked James, and was annoyed that she didn't agree sooner. Because it was clear that he would care for her no matter what.
"Eventually they got married, and, well, the rest is history," Sirius finished. He looked up at the interested faces staring at him.
"Wow. That's…amazing!" Harry concluded. Sirius grinned at him widely. Fred and George were interested in only one thing.
"You four were the Marauders?" they asked incredulously. Sirius grinned again.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"The map! It's genius!" they complimented.
"Why, thank you very much. It's only fit for us four and you guys. We invented it, and knew Hogwarts better than anyone did."
"That is bloody brilliant."
"Thanks. Now Harry, did I answer your question?" Sirius asked.
"Yes you did. Thanks Sirius."
"Right, who's-"
"LUNCH EVERYBODY!" Mrs. Weasley's voice bellowed through the whole house, and everyone jumped. Hermione spoke.
"Right, let's continue this after lunch. And Sirius- don't forget your dare!"
