Harry smirked as he sat down next to his girlfriend, Ginny, who also had a malicious grin on her face. They gathered the people they needed. Of course, they had a few extras, but that was okay.
In the room sat Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Lavender, Blaise, Pansy, Theo, Astoria, and Draco. There were supposed to be more Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws, but Luna ended up being the only one that turned up for her seventh year.
Every night, they had been playing Truth or Dare in the Gryffindor boys room. The rules were simple. You get asked a truth and if you don't answer, you have to do a dare by the asker. Once you answer or do the task, then you ask somebody. It'd been a few weeks of doing these, but nothing more than a kiss on the cheek had risen up. Tonight was going to chance that, especially since tension had grown within each person. Mostly between a certain brunette and a prissy blond.
Hermione groaned as Ginny smirked at her. She was in grey sweatpants, a cropped sleeveless top, and a flannel jacket, but she still went cold under her gaze.
"Alright, I think we all know each other enough to dive right into the good stuff," Ginny stated. "Malfoy, you're up first."
He gulped as he waited on her for finish her pondering. Finally, she asked, "Is it true that you have a crush on somebody in this room?"
Draco sighed, replying, "Just give me the damn dare."
Harry nodded to Ginny. She gave him a knowing nod back. "I dare you to take your shirt off," Ginny said with a serious expression, glancing at Hermione. She just sat her head on her right knee and looked away, sitting up on Harry's bed while Ginny sat on the one next to her. Most of the girls took up the beds while the guys sat on the large carpeted sitting area, but Harry sat with his girlfriend like Neville did with his own (Luna).
Draco caught Hermione's eyes with a small smirk, grabbing the back of his tee and yanking it over his head. His chiseled structure made her cheeks flush, so she quickly glanced away.
"Alright, who do I hate," Draco said quietly as his eyes landed on Lavender. "Brown, is it true that you are completely clingy?"
Lavender let out an offended puff. "How dare you? Why would you ever ask that?"
"That means you're taking a dare, then! Congratulations."
Lavender sighed, not bothering with him. He continued, saying, "I dare you to go give your little crush, which is obviously Weasley judging by how much you longingly stare at him, a kiss."
She flushed, embarrassed beyond reason. She stood, shuffling over to an awkward Ron. They sheepishly pecked each others lips as catcalls and whistles came at them.
"I don't want to ask again," Lavender said weakly, sitting down.
"I will, then," Blaise interrupted. "'Mione!"
Hermione sighed in relief, thinking that Blaise wouldn't torture her too badly.
"Is it true that you still haven't had your first kiss?" he smirked, knowing full well she wouldn't reply. And he was right. She just blushed under everyone's shocked gaze, except Luna's, and whispered that she wanted a dare.
"A dare?" Blaise asked with a hand splayed on his chest. "Hermione? Wanting a dare? Alright. I dare you to makeout with Theo for one minute."
Gasps filled the room as Ginny and Blaise giggled. "C'mon, Hermione," Ginny smirked. "You have to do it!"
Theo just sighed, standing up and shaking out his dark curls. "It's fine, Granger. Doesn't mean nothing."
Draco, who nobody was looking at, was tense. His blood boiled.
