Hi all! Welcome to Chapter Five of Water Worries. This is a story request from a lovely person called xxxRainLoverxxx, so credit to the idea goes to her. She is a very talented writer but unfortunately due to negative reviews she no longer likes to post her stories which is a true shame for everyone. This story is complete and is Thirteen Chapters long, updates should be weekly unless something drastic happens.
Summary: Harry has a fear of water, when his nightmares manage to get even Ron's attention Ron comes up with a plan for how to keep Harry's mind off the second task. What happens when they go too far? AU. Contains Spanking. No Slash.
Warning: Story contains parental spanking of a teenager, if this isn't your cup of tea, don't read it.
Disclaimer: I do not now, nor have I ever, owned Harry Potter – as much as I'd like to I sadly do not. I did not make any money from this story, and I don't intend too. All characters and recognisable things belong to JK Rowling not me – as sad as that is for me.
A huge thank you to my wonderful Beta Jules Ann, who is again herself a very talented writer on here. Though she doesn't know Harry Potter, I am slowly trying to convert her.

Once everyone had settled back down again Ginny gave the bottle a good hard spin and let out a whoop when it landed on George. "Oh Georgie, vengeance is so sweet… George, I dare you to go kiss Professor McGonagall," she challenged.
George raised an eyebrow, "kudos little sister," he acknowledged. He stood and checked the noticeboard; their Head of House had her office hours now. He gave them a wink and motioned them all over to the door that led to her office, knocking, and waiting to be called in.
Minerva set down her quill and cleared her throat, "come in," she called, wondering which of her lions wanted her help. She couldn't hear anything that happened outside of this door unless one of her cubs were touching it, a very tricky charm, but definitely necessary when one was the Head of Gryffindor house; her lions were a rowdy lot.
George strolled into his Head of House's office and walked right up to her, bold as brass. He dipped down and before she could react pressed a quick kiss to her lips. He didn't linger, breaking the kiss and legging it out of the office and back into the Common Room before Professor McGonagall could gather her wits.
Minerva was stunned to quite suddenly find herself kissed on the lips by a student. Her nostrils flared and her lips turned dangerously thin, apparently some of her lions were playing dares. She narrowed her eyes at the closing door to her office, wondering whether or not to intervene and put a stop to things. The twins were involved so things could get out of hand… well on their heads be it, she would bring down her wrath if her students couldn't behave themselves. She'd leave them be for now, they were only embarrassing themselves.
Everyone was extremely impressed with George, but watched the door warily for a minute, wondering if Professor McGonagall was going to storm in and take off points and give them all detention. When nothing happened, they gave a huge cheer and George bowed grinning.
They all settled back down in their circle, Ginny shaking her head at her brother's boldness. George winked at his little sister and grabbed the bottle giving it a spin.
Alicia groaned when the bottle landed on her, "come on then, what have you got?"
George stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Alicia, I dare you to go tell Professor McGonagall that you think you might be a witches witch, but you aren't sure, talk for a bit, make it believable, don't let her talk, then thank her for a helping you figure it all out and walk out," he goaded.
Alicia gave a sigh, "you are such a git George," she moaned. Despite her reluctance, she got up and walked back over to her Head of House's office, knocking on the door.
Minerva sighed and considered whether or not to allow her student in, but as she couldn't be sure it wasn't one of her lions who actually needed her help she sighed, "come in," she called.
Alicia walked in, and because she had to make it believable, she made like she was shutting the door, leaving it open just a crack.
Minerva opened her mouth to ask one of her star chasers what she could do to help.
Alicia started pacing, "Professor I… I don't even know how to say this, I'm so worried. I mean I never thought it before, but it's been occurring to me, that… oh I don't even know if I can admit this but, if it's true," she shook her head. "What if it is true? Do you think everyone will hate me? My parents… oh Merlin if they find out. I'll never be able to let them know. Is there a potion or a spell or something that can stop it? I don't want to be a witches witch, Angelina will hate me, everyone will hate me, Katie will hate me, they'll kick me off the quidditch team and I love quidditch." She continued pacing as she rambled, running her fingers through her hair repeatedly.
Alicia saw McGonagall was about to speak so quickly started talking again. "You know though I really thought I had a crush on George, but I don't think I do, we're just really good friends, but maybe I do like boys. I mean I'm not attracted to Angelina or Katie; I think they are pretty, sure, but I don't want to kiss them or anything. In fact, I had a really… um you know hot dream about Lee and me one time, so… so maybe I'm not a witches witch? Oh, thank you so much Professor I'm so relieved, thank you, you've really helped me figure it all out! Bye Professor!" She whirled around and left her office closing the door quickly behind her as she got back into the Common Room. Her face was bright red with her embarrassment, "I will get you back for that George!" She growled, much to the amusement of everyone else.
Minerva raised her eyebrow at the closing door and blinked rapidly, wondering if that was truly just a dare or not. Taking a deep breath and shaking her head, reminding herself this was just the price of being the Head of Gryffindor and got back to her marking.
Laughing and giggling at Alicia's embarrassment, everyone settled down in the circle, teasing her about her 'crush' on George and the 'hot dream' she'd had about Lee.
Mainly to shut everyone up, Alicia grabbed the bottle and game it a good spin, grinning when it landed on her fellow quidditch player. "Okay then Katie, I dare you to go to the study hall for the first and second years, get up on the table and sing 'I'm a little teapot' with all the actions too," she told her.
Katie blushed but sighed, "fine," she agreed. She got up and all the players followed her out of the Common Room and along to the supervised study period for the first and second years. She felt a bubble of relief when she saw it was the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff sixth year Prefects supervising the study period. She was blushing a bright red of embarrassment as she walked into the room and climbed up on the table, clearing her throat before she started singing.
The first and second years who had chosen to get some supervised studying done didn't know what to make of the fifth-year girl on the table, along with the Gryffindor male students, one who was just in his boxers, another who had a face full of make-up, a third who was wearing pink sparkly girls dress robes, and the fourth with nails painted multiple colours.
When Katie was done, Fred and George started applauding, getting the two Prefects to join in, along with the rest of their group and even the first and second years.
Deciding to copy a bit of the Weasley twin's bravado Katie gave a mock bow before she jumped off the table and hurried back to the group, pushing them out of the room as everyone laughed.
They all hurried back to the Common Room, settling back down in their circle and Katie grabbed the bottle, spinning it as she tried to calm her blush down. The bottle landed on Parvati which Katie was a little disappointed with, she didn't know the gossipy fourth year all that well, "hmm, okay Parvati, I dare you to lick the bottom of Dean's shoe."
Parvati screwed her face up in disgust as Dean 'helpfully' stuck his foot in her face. With a whine of disgust, she leaned forward and let the tip of her tongue touch the bottom of Dean's shoe. Squealing in horror she practically threw herself back, gagging and trying to scrape her tongue off as everyone else laughed loudly at her overreaction. Once she was calm and settled again, she spun the bottle, daring Colin to kiss Crookshanks.
Colin had been having fun taking pictures and didn't even mind that he hadn't had a turn yet, he couldn't wait to develop these pictures. He grinned when it was his turn and coaxed the large ginger cat to join them. Glancing quickly at Hermione to make sure it was okay, he picked up the cat and planted a quick kiss to his mouth.
Crookshanks was rather shocked by the unexpected 'affection' from someone he didn't know and yowled in disapproval, struggling out of the third years arms and racing out of the Common Room and up to Hermione's dorm.
Crookshanks departure was followed by hysterical laughter of the players, even Colin laughing at the cat's reaction.
"I don't think Crookshanks approves of your technique Colin," Dean laughed.
"Maybe you need a little more practice," Lee teased.
Colin just laughed and took the teasing in good faith, "I didn't think I was that bad of a kisser," he grinned. He grabbed the bottle and gave it a good spin, wincing when it landed on Hermione, as much as he liked his fellow muggleborn he was slightly scared of her and didn't want to cross her. "Hermione, I dare you to… lick the floor?" He half asked half said.
Hermione sighed but leaned forward and gave the floor a small lick, pulling a disgusted face before spinning the bottle herself. When it landed on Ron, she looked at Harry, Dean, and Seamus and smirked. "Okay Ron, I dare you to let us girls wax all your body hair off," she grinned.
The boys laughed and whooped, teasing Ron, and started chanting for him to strip, the girls joining in as well.
Ron sighed and blushing red, stripped down to his boxers and sat himself in one of the armchairs. "Alright then, let me have it," he declared.
Lavender, Parvati, Luna, Angelina, Alicia, Katie, Ginny, and Hermione all grinned and descended on Ron, using their wands to wax him.
Ron yelled and hollered and even screamed as the girls tore strips of hair off him, reaching pitches that definitely impressed the rest of the boys.
The boys all alternated between laughing and wincing in pain when Ron's cries reached a certain pitch.
When the girls stepped back Ron was pink skinned, hairless, and wincing in pain, they'd even attacked his eyebrows. He gingerly got dressed again, hissing as the clothes touched his much-abused skin. He spun the bottle and grinned when it landed on Harry, "ahh Harry, I dare you to run around the corridors… with a pair of Ginny's underwear on your head!"
The players burst into guffaws as both Harry and Ginny blushed bright red again.
Ginny got up and stormed up to her dorm, coming back down with a set of blue flower print panties and shoved them at Harry. She glared fiercely at her brother, her look promising revenge.
Harry groaned but quickly shoved the pair of panties onto his head and ran out of the Common Room, running around the seventh and fifth floors before he ran back to the Common Room.
A few of the group tried to keep up, but Harry was fast! Colin managed to get a good couple pictures though and they had a good view of him running around the seventh floor.
As soon as Harry was back in the Common Room and sat back in the circle, he pulled the panties off his head and handed them back to Ginny.
Ginny shoved her panties into her pocket, wondering if she should just go ahead and burn this pair, she probably wouldn't be able to face wearing them again.
Harry spun the bottle and winced a little when it landed on Alicia, he'd known the older witch since his first year and had no desire to cross her. He looked around the room and spotted Hedwig rooting on top of one of the cabinets. "Alicia, I dare you to kiss Hedwig," he offered. He called her over softly and held out his arm for her to land on.
Alicia beamed at the gorgeous snowy owl and leant forward, landing a small kiss onto her beak, laughing when Hedwig clicked her beak in a reprimanding manner. When she spun the bottle, it landed on Luna and she observed the blond third year, "Luna, I dare you to kiss someone in this circle, for at least 30 seconds."
Luna tilted her head to one side as if thinking and quite suddenly lunged forward and kissed Alicia, hard, on the lips, holding her face. She held the kiss for a full minute before leaning back, "mmm that was rather nice, but no I definitely think I'd rather get a husband," she mused. She turned to look at the boys, almost zeroing in on Neville, before Angelina called her attention.
"Um Luna, you did your dare, you can spin the bottle now," Angelina called quickly.
"Oh, okay then," Luna shrugged. With a lazy flick of her wrist, she sent the bottle spinning, pouting when it landed on Harry. "Aww, I wanted it to land on Neville so I could dare him to kiss me. I won't do that to you as Ginny might hex me. Hmmm, well you did look rather fetching wearing Ginny's knickers on your head, oh I know! Harry, I dare you to wear Ginny's knickers on your head for the rest of the game!"
Everyone burst into a new round of laughter and blushing almost as crimson as the red on her Gryffindor robes, Ginny handed her panties back to Harry.
Blushing as crimson as Ginny, Harry stuck the panties back on his head, and, mainly to get the focus off him, he grabbed the bottle and gave it a spin. He grinned when it landed on Katie, "Katie, I dare you to write an anonymous love letter to Snape, saying you love him and fantasise about him and want to run away with him, and send it off with one of the school owls."
Katie groaned and let her face fall into her hands, "if he recognises my handwriting, I'll kill you all," she threatened. Rather swiftly a sheet of parchment, a quill, and a pot of ink were sourced. She leaned forward and started writing.
Dear Sir,
As I sit and my thoughts run free, I find I can no longer keep my secrets to myself, I must confess. For years now I have sat in your classroom, watching you through the haze of the steam coming off the softly simmering cauldron. My concentration should be on my potion, I know this, but I find my thoughts waver and shift and all I can think of is you. Your dark eyes, your seductive voice, the way you walk, your long talented fingers. When you sweep around your classroom and step up close behind me, I feel your presence and it drives me crazy. The truth is, I love you. I know our love is forbidden, but I cannot keep this to myself and stay sane any longer! We could run away together… we should run away together! Think of the wonderful life we could have!
My everlasting love,
Your secret admirer
The whole group read it and gave their approval before Katie called for a school owl, telling it the letter was for Professor Snape and sending it off.
Katie sat back down and glared at everyone, "if he catches me, I am bringing you all down with me," she warned, not entirely joking. She grabbed the bottle and gave it a hard spin looking at Dean challengingly when it landed on him, "okay Dean, I dare you to go up to that group of seventh year girls and profess your love for one of them," she declared.
Dean groaned but gamely got up, despite the fact he was still dressed in Lavender's dress robes. He made his way over to the trio of seventh year girls and turned to face one of them swallowing nervously, "hi, you don't know me, but I've been watching you since I was just a little first year. What started off as admiration and fascination has blossomed into a growing affection and adoration of you. Recently, I have realised that my feelings have grown even further and now, I can no longer deny it. I am in love with you, everything about you… you don't have to respond, but just think about it, I promise I'll try to be good to you." With that he turned and ran back to the circle, his embarrassment quite clear.
Everyone burst into hysterics at the look of mortification on Dean's face all of them in very high spirits, even Hermione.
Dean took hold of the bottle and gave it a good spin his mood shifting when he saw it land on George. He rubbed his hands together gleefully, determined to give George a dare that would finally embarrass him. "Alright George, I dare you to skip down to the library, skip around it, and skip back wearing only your underwear," he dared.
