Sorry, late chapter, my bad, a week went missing in my head. This and the next chapter are written for pure entertainment and, as such, are full of the twins being...the twins really.
Hope you enjoy!
"Katherine…Hey, Katherine, wake up."
"No. Sleepy."
"C'mon get her up. They're getting impatient. Don't worry about changing, everyone's in their night clothes."
"I don't want to get up! Sleepy."
"Just come downstairs! One of the boys will help you after that."
"Fine, but leave me alone. Stupid people, I want to sleep and I have to clamber around following after two obnoxious red heads who think they're all…"
"Katherine stairs!"
"No! Someone catch her!"
"Quiet! We're breaking rules here...oomph, Katty? Why are you falling down the stairs?"
"Hey Fred," Katherine replied, eyes still closed as she allowed Fred to take her weight, "Girl's wouldn't let me sleep. 'm tired. What doin'?"
"Are you ok?" Fred asked uncertainly as Katherine continued to lean in on him. She'd straightened up and opened her eyes slightly, but still didn't seem like she was actually seeing anything.
"Don't worry about her," Angela instructed as she and Alicia pulled Katie down stairs, the later seemed in a similar state to Katherine, "She's always like that when she first wakes up. Why do you think she always makes sure she's up before the rest of us?"
"I think it's cute," put out Alicia. George seemed to agree from the way he was smirking at Fred.
"I think it's creeping me out," Fred announced, trying unsuccessfully to get Katherine to stand on her own, "Why's she so tired anyway?"
"She was studying the whole time you were at practise yesterday," Lee replied.
"Why did Oliver make us practise so late on a Thursday anyway?" Alicia whined.
"Stupid Ol'ver," Katherine announced, "Imma set Peeves on 'im. So tired!"
"Sh! Just help her to the room," Angela commanded, "She'll wake up."
"If you say so," Fred sighed, "C'mon Katty, and keep quiet."
Katherine mumbled something unintelligible but wandered down the hall with the rest of them, using Fred to make sure she didn't bump into anything.
"Ok, so where are we?" Katherine asked a little while later, having finally woken up enough to realise she was in a room that was not her dorm.
"Hey! She wakes!" Fred exclaimed, "Would you mind letting go of my shirt now? We were going to drop by the kitchens."
"Let go of…argh!" Katherine jumped away from Fred with a startled noise, "Woah, space, space is good. And again I ask, where are we?"
"I don't know but I'm going to convince someone to ward my bed for me," Katie announced.
"We're just gonna play a game," Fred responded, taking off from the room, "Oi, George wait! Stop laughing at me!"
"You know for someone who sneaks around so much he's very loud," Angela commented.
"I still don't know where I am," Katherine noted, "And I have the vague feeling I was kidnapped and shall be very angry with multiple people by the time I'm allowed to sleep again."
"Katherine, your friends with Charlie, you think he'd ward my bed?" Katie asked.
"Probably, nice to know I wasn't the only one kidnapped," Katherine replied, "What are we doing here?"
"We have food!" Fred and George announced loudly. Katherine glared at them.
"No one's ever going to answer me, are they?" Katherine grumbled, "Oh! Sugary food!"
"No," Fred chided, "You only get food if you agree to play with us."
"You thought this out very thoroughly, didn't you?" Katherine asked suspiciously, Fred nodded, grinning widely, "I'm out!"
"What?!" Fred demanded.
"C'mon Kat," George tried, "You know it's just a little fun."
"It's something you two planned for me to be a part of, but didn't tell me about. You only do that when it's something stupid that you knew I would disagree with, therefore I am within my rights to disagree," Katherine replied, "Now, I want to go back to bed."
"She's far more conversational now, isn't she?" Alicia pointed out. Katherine rounded on her and Angela.
"Don't think I've forgotten your part in this," she snapped, "I swear, I should curse you all right now and be done with it!"
"On the other hand, you know you're not going back to sleep anytime soon, and we have sugary goodness," George pointed out, "Might as well stick around."
"Fine," Katherine glared at him, "But I hate you all and maintain the right to leave whenever I want. Also I'm sitting with Katie."
With that she stormed away from the two red heads and sat herself on the floor with Katie. Katie just shrugged, not really caring now she was fully awake.
"So, what are we playing?" she asked cheerfully.
"Truth or dare!" the other five announced together, and Fred continued, pulling a small vial from his pocket, "Look, we have Veritaserum."
"Oh, Merlin, Snape's going to kill us all," Katherine mumbled.
"There's enough for a sip each," George explained, "Which should last until dawn, so we won't have to worry about saying something stupid to people outside this room."
"And we found a spell that means you will have to complete any dare, within the time period," Fred continued, "And the rooms been silenced."
"I hate you both," Katherine announced, glaring at the potion, "And I am not drinking that."
"C'mon Katty," Fred whined, "Do have any idea how hard this was to get?"
"You stole it."
"Yeah, but first we had to get detention, then we had to get away with it," George said.
"It was very hard work," Fred finished.
"Well, I'm in," Lee announced, taking a sip from the vial, "Hey doesn't even taste that bad."
"My turn!" Angela exclaimed happily, she took her sip and was followed by Alicia. Fred and George had already taken it so now Katherine and Katie were the only ones left.
"Well, I'm here anyway," Katie announced, taking a sip from the vial. Now there was only a little left. A little that Katherine was glaring at with extreme disdain and mistrust.
"I'm still not drinking that," she pointed out as they tried to hand it to her, "I don't care how much sugar you put in front of me."
"C'mon Kat," George said, "Why are you so against this?"
"It is an evil concoction used to force people to tell personal things against their will. It is bordering on illegal and the last time it was widely used was at the fall of…" Katherine hesitated slightly, looking slightly unsure, "Anyway, I don't want to!"
"Look, Katty, it's just a game," Fred sighed, "If something really personal comes up you can curse who ever asked it and we'll stop you from answering anything we think you might be against, but we're all friends here it's not like we're going to spread anything around."
"You wouldn't anyway," Katherine pointed out as she finally took the vial, "I have to much information on you." She threw her head back and swallowed the liquid to fast to taste it. "So, who's first then? We might as well get started."
"Me first!" Angelina announced loudly, "George, truth or dare?
"Dare, obviously," George replied with Fred nodded approvingly.
"Ok, I dare you to fly a lap around the school in your boxers," Angelina announced, grinning widely.
"Ok, now or later?" George asked, "Fred and I discussed and decided that, since we're doing this at night when no one's awake, you can tell people to do the dares at a later date, but you have to tell them when that will be."
"Now's fine," Angela replied thoughtfully, "But you have to fly inside as well."
"Excellent, I'll get my broom," George announced, taking off.
"Wow, you two really are unflinching," Alicia said as they watched him leave.
"Well, we do insane things for casual entertainment, don't me?" Fred replied, "It's second nature by now."
"Hey, Angelina," Katherine murmured as the others talked, "You really just wanted to see George strip right?"
"Yeah, pretty much," Angelina replied, then, "Hey!"
"What happened?" George asked, coming back into the room with his broom.
"Nothing," Katherine answered grinning, "I'm plotting my revenge on you all."
"That would be the Veritaserum talking," Alicia pointed out, "That was fast George."
"You know me, good with the short cuts. Fred, catch!" George threw his broom to Fred-who caught it easily-and began pulling off his clothes. Once he was only in his boxers he grabbed his broom and headed for the door.
"House boxers George?" Lee asked as George was mounting his broom, noting the lion head covered boxers.
"I like them," Katherine announced calmly, "They suit you, don't you think Angie?"
"Yeah, I guess," Angela replied uncomfortably.
"Well thanks Ang," George replied, giving her a wink, "See you in a flash."
"They suit him better than the last ones," Katherine mumbled to Fred, "Do you have a matching pair?"
"Katherine!" Fred exclaimed at the same time Angela demanded, "What did you just say?"
Katherine just grinned wickedly at them. The group made idle small chat until George flew through the window. "Does everyone realise it's getting right cold out there?" he demanded as he landed, shivering slightly. Katherine threw his clothes at him and he began pulling them on, showing no embarrassment at his lack of clothing.
"So, my turn yeah?" George asked, sitting himself down, "Alicia, truth or dare?"
"Dare," Alicia answered after some thought.
"Ok, I dare you to confess your undying love and propose the Oliver the next time we all see him," George answered immediately, Alicia made a face.
"Yeah, that's going to be fun," she grumbled, "Anyway, my turn! Katherine, truth or dare?"
"Dare," Katherine replied, figuring she'd be forced to do a dare eventually, better it was from someone who wasn't one of the twins.
"Ok then," Alicia said thoughtfully, "I dare you to kiss Lee!"
"Alright," Katherine shrugged, the other girls grinned, Lee looked a little scared and Katherine had to fight not to roll her eyes. "Stay," she commanded, leaning towards him she tilted her head and gave him a peck on the cheek. That done she moved to sit down, sitting beside Lee and Fred now as she couldn't be bothered crawling across the room. Alicia gaped widely at her.
"That doesn't count!" Alicia whined, Katherine smirked slightly.
"Yes it does," she countered, "I followed the rules. Anyway, it's my turn, Lee, truth or dare."
"Dare, I guess, as everyone else is," Lee replied.
"I dare you, next Transfiguration class, to call McGonagall baby," Katherine announced, "No ma'am or Professor. You have to call he baby."
"Wow," Lee gaped, "You really are evil. You could give Fred and George a run for their money."
"Hey!" the twins exclaimed, sounding offended.
"Anyway, my turn I guess," Lee went on, "Fred, truth or dare?"
"Dare," Fred replied without any hesitation.
"Ok, I dare you to hug everyone who comes near you tomorrow, including teachers and Slytherins," Lee commanded. Fred laughed.
"Right you are mate," He said, grinning widely, "Katie, truth or dare."
"Dare," Katie replied automatically.
"I dare you to, write a love letter to…Charlie," Fred announced decidedly, "And send it in the morning mail!"
"But he's a seventh year!" was Katie's immediate reply.
"That's your issue?" Fred, George and Katherine questioned, each giving her sceptical looks. Fred then pulled out a quill and some parchment, clearly having anticipated this. Katie made a face.
"Ok, I'll get on it after my turn," she sighed, "Ang, truth or dare?"
"Dare," Angelina replied, looking more as though she was planning her next dare for someone else.
"I dare you to…start a fight with Alicia tomorrow! Saying you love Oliver more than her, and it has to be in front of him," Katie announced.
"What?" Angelina demanded, "That's just…Why would you do that to me?!"
"I think it's excellent!" Katherine spoke up, everyone else was laughing too hard to speak. Except Alicia who was making a face again.
"Ok, fine," Angela sighed, "George, truth or dare?"
"Dare," George replied casually, though it hadn't escaped his notice that she'd chosen him again.
"Ok, I dare you to, write McGonagall a love letter!" she declared triumphantly.
"Very well, I shall give it to her in with my next essay," George nodded, he and Fred where far too good at taking things in stride. Makes you wonder whether they had to be dared to do this stuff. "My turn," George continued, "Kat, truth or dare."
"Truth," Katherine replied, and at everyone's questioning expressions she merely smiled, "Got to try new things guys. Can't have dare the whole time, can we?"
"OK," George nodded thoughtfully, "What were you thinking before McGonagall led us into the Great Hall in first year?" Katherine laughed.
"I was thinking, 'Why are those two idiot red heads saying we have to fight a troll?' closely followed by, 'I think I'd like Ravenclaw'," she announced, everyone started laughing.
"You two spread that rumour?" Katie demanded, "It took forever to convince my friends we wouldn't have to do that!"
"Why did you think Ravenclaw'd be good?" Lee asked making a face.
"It was the easy option," Katherine replied, stupid truth serum, "At that point it was either…mmpgh pffph, glah!" The rest of her sentence came out as muffled noise because Fred had clasped his hand over her mouth before she could continue.
"A promise is a promise, right?" he said with a grin, Katherine nodded back at him.
"Thanks," she mumbled, then she grinned, "Truth or dare, Fred?"
"Truth," Fred replied, grinning back at her, "Like you said, we need variety."
"Mmhmm," Katherine replied doubtfully, "Do you think Angelina would look good in lingerie?" The entire room blanched at the question and Katherine grinned at having surprised them all.
"I think she'd look ok," Fred replied after a moment, "Though I'd prefer…"
"Fairs fair, right?" George asked Katherine, hand over his brother's mouth.
"True," Katherine nodded, grinning wickedly, "Though I must say, truth is proving to be more interesting than dares."
"Lee, truth or dare?" Fred asked, trying to get the attention away from him.
"Dare," Lee replied, "You guys are scary which ever I choose, might as well do something fun."
"Sure, you know that gargoyle that leads to Dumbledore's office?" Fred asked, Lee nodded, "Well, you have to decorate him for Halloween! And Christmas, but you can do them at the same time if you want."
"Wicked," Lee laughed, "Ok, Katie, truth or dare?"
"Truth," Katie replied.
"OK, if anyone in the room could be your slave for a day, who would it be and what would they have to do?" Lee asked.
"That's tough," Katie replied thoughtfully, "I think I'd have to go for Kat, and I'd make her do my homework and curse people I dislike, and come to Quidditch practise to see if she's actually any good."
"Oi! Quite laughing," Katherine snapped, "And I take offence to that Kate. If you wanted to see me fly you should have just asked. I like to think I can fly pretty well. Look what I got."
She pulled the Snitch from tryouts from her pocket and a light blush came to her face. She'd yet to tell anyone she'd taken it despite the fact that she'd been carrying it around for a fair while. She let the golden wings unfurl and flick around uselessly.
"When'd you get that?" Fred demanded, going to poke it only to have Katherine pull it away.
"Um, you remember try outs?" she started, blush deepening, "I was hanging out with Charlie, and he was telling off all the Seekers. Then I saw the Snitch and I just, kind of, went for it."
"So that's what that dive was about!" everyone said in varying voices, Katherine rolled her eyes and tucked the little gold ball away.
"Katie, it's your turn."
"Oh, right, Alicia truth or dare?" Katie asked excitedly.
"Dare, I guess, more fun."
"Ok, I dare you to…say 'I love to wear pink leather' every time you talk tomorrow!"
"WHAT!?" Alicia screamed, as everyone else laughed.
"Do you realise she's supposed to be having a loud screaming match over Oliver tomorrow," Katherine said thoughtfully, "Now after everything she says she's basically going to have to scream 'I love to wear pink leather' to the whole hall."
The boys howled with laughter while Alicia shot evils at Katherine, who just grinned innocently at her. "Yeah, yeah, fine," Alicia snapped, "Truth or dare, Kat?"
"Dare," Katherine replied with a shrug.
"I dare you to kiss George," Alicia said maliciously, "On the lips this time."
"Fine," Katherine sighed, crawling over to kneel in front of George.
"Fred," George announced, wide eyed, pointing to himself.
"I'm pretty sure that's offensive George," Katherine pointed out rolling her eyes. He had a similar look in his eyes as Lee had had. Maybe it wasn't fear? Oh well not her problem. She leant forward and, for a moment, their lips pressed together, then she pulled away.
"'Kay, Angie, truth or dare?" she asked.
"You're way too casual with this you realise," Alicia pointed out with a frown. Katherine just shrugged.
"Truth," Angelina announced decidedly.
"Do you have a crush on anyone?" Katherine asked easily.
"Yes," Angelina replied, "But you didn't specify."
"Fair enough," Katherine grinned, "You're turn."
"Right, Lee, truth or dare?"
"Truth, gotta go at least once."
"What is the most embarrassing nickname that anyone has ever called you?"
"Leanne, no I am not explaining. Alicia truth or dare?"
"Dare," Alicia replied, a thoughtful look on her face.
"Tomorrow at breakfast you have go around saying, 'I'm cupid, and I will help you find love'."
"You want I should do this before or after I express my deep love for Oliver and pink leather?" Alicia asked sceptically.
"Fair enough, you can do it the day after then."
"Ok, Fred, truth or dare?" Alicia asked
"Dare," Fred replied confidently. Alicia made her way over to him and knelt down beside him, leaning to whisper in his ear, "Steal that cookie Kat's about to eat."
Fred gave her a horrified look, eyes flicking to Katherine for a moment before going back to Alicia who merely raised an eyebrow. Katherine was, indeed, paying more attention to her food than to the game. (They've all been snacking, it just wasn't mentioned.)
"Fine," he sighed, "Now go back over there. I hate you right now. Katie, truth or dare?"
"Wait," Katherine broke in, "What'd Alicia do?" Suddenly her cookie was snagged from her slackened grip and Fred hoped across the room and put it in his mouth. Without a thought Katherine moved after him. She bit into the other end of the cookie and sharply tilted her head up, breaking it so she got the bigger piece. Fred blinked in surprise at her having been so close.
"Dare," Katie announced, bring the pair back. They both sat back down, with Katherine munching on her cookie and eyeing Fred warily.
"Ok, I dare you to have a very public conversation with an inanimate object tomorrow and make it appear as though the object is talking back."
"Wow, detailed," Katie nodded, "Kat, truth or dare?"
"Dare," Katherine replied easily.
"I dare you to sit on Fred's lap for the rest of the night unless a dare requires one of you to move in which case you have to go back after said dare," Katie commanded.
"See, now that's how you get someone to follow through on a dare," Katherine commended, "No loopholes! Do you mind Fred?"
"Well, you got dared, so you have to anyway," Fred pointed out. Katherine nodded and sat in his lap leaning against his chest.
"My turn yeah?" She asked, "George, truth or dare? Pass me a brownie Fred?"
…
It was early in the morning now and everyone was spread out across the floor. Katherine had convinced Katie to let her and Fred lay down so long as Katherine was still laying on him in some form, so she currently had her head resting on his stomach.
"Kat, had you seen any of the boys in just there boxers before tonight?" Angelina asked, they'd stopped actually playing truth or dare a while ago but every now and then someone shot out a question. Katherine laughed a little.
"Yeah, both Fred and George," she snickered, rolling over to look at Angelina, who was gaping at her.
"When did this happen?" Alicia asked.
"Last Christmas when I stayed at their house," Katherine replied, "The other Weasley's were quick to realise the twins were less likely to attack me so I got set to wake them up and get them for food a lot. So I caught them in their boxers once or twice, including one time they matched."
Fred groaned at the story as everyone else laughed, then he sighed, "Katty, I need to move again."
Katherine nodded, getting off and allowing him to stretch before sitting up and opening his arms for her. She climbed back into his lap and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Guys I'm getting tired," she announced, "When are we going back to bed?"
"We might as well just sleep here," Lee pointed out, "It's not like anyone's going to find us and we can just head back to the Common room in the morning."
"What about clothes?" Katie asked.
"Oh, that's ok, we brought you clothes," Alicia informed her, giving her an awkward pat on the leg. Awkward because they'd been dared to hold hands for the rest of the night, so they had to work around it. Katie had already finished her letter for Charlie though, so that wasn't a problem.
"Oh, hey Kat, because I have to mail Charlie can I use Tenebris?" Katie asked suddenly.
"Pfft, no way, I'd never get him back," Katherine replied, "'Sides he's not here, I sent him off yesterday."
"Tomorrow's going to be hilarious," Fred laughed.
"Tonight was pretty good," Angelina pointed out, "Though I wish I'd gotten some pictures."
"Doesn't really matter, you can always just use a pensieve," Katherine pointed out.
"Why're you encouraging it?" Katie asked, "Your sitting of Fred."
"Yes, but Fred's rather comfy," Katherine pointed out, "And I don't have to do anything really horrible tomorrow do I? By the way, you spelt infatuated wrong in this letter."
"How'd you get that?" Katie demanded.
"I'm sitting on Fred," Katherine pointed out making the others laugh.
"OK, so we'll sleep here and move to the Common room in the morning," Lee announced, "Night all."
"Yes Kat, you have to stay with Fred while you sleep," Katie instructed as Katherine opened her mouth.
"Good night to you too," Katherine replied. She and Fred shuffled into a comfortable sleeping position as the lights went out.
Well, that was fun! Next chapter we get to see the dare's put into action! Comments are accepted gratefully! Even if they're just telling me to be more punctual, or that i spelt something wrong, which is a possibility.
Hope you enjoyed this!
