Here it is! The newest chapter in the Truth or Dare series! Enjoy!
Chapter 2
Harry, Ron and Hermione were wondering what the next weekend would be like. But Harry had other things on his mind at the moment. He was eager and determined to talk to Cho Chang. The girl Harry most admired. Ron couldn't believe he could be this crazy over a girl! Hermione, since she was a girl, was telling Harry different ways girls like to be treated and respected and what to expect as an answer if he ever really talked to her. "I'm gonna do it today." Harry said. As the trio was walking down the corridor to their next to last class of the day, Potions. "Harry I don't see what your problem is---just go up to her and say hi!" Ron was looking at Harry with a 'Come off it!' kind of look. "Its not as easy as you think Ron!" Harry said sensing his cheeks turning red "Ron have a little understanding----haven't you ever been that way over a girl?" Ron hesitated for a moment before he answered defiantly, "No!"
As they entered the Potions class they say Draco Malfoy stare at them from the front of the dungeon. He looked anxious for the Truth or Dare to come about. "Look at the way he looks at us, its just creepy sometimes!" Hermione stated. Ron sat down beside Harry and they were sitting behind Hermione who was with Neville to help him. "Listen up!" Snape yelled over the dungeon echoing off the walls. "You will make today the Potion used to counter the Forgetfulness Potion! It is called the Remembrance Potion! It can be very difficult! So pay attention and get your ingredients together and get to work! All of you!" While cutting up and preparing their ingredients, Ron looked over at Harry and smiled. "You know Harry, if you really cant talk to Cho all you have to do is make a Love Potion and slip it in her drink at breakfast!" "I wouldn't do that!" Harry said smiling. Although the thought was a little bit tempting.
Potions passed and it was a torturous as usual. Snape still had not become tired of his favorite hobby of bullying Neville around. He found out about Harry and Ron joking about making a Love Potion and almost gave them detention for threatening to slip it into anyone's drink. He didn't though, he let them off with a warning, a severe warning, but a warning none the less. And he got on to Hermione for trying to help Neville. Since Potions was the next to last class of the day, they has one more class left and that was Astronomy with Professor Sinistra.
As they were walking to the stairs to the Astronomy tower they were discussing different dares they could ask Malfoy, truths too and what to expect from him. "I don't know, do you think he might ask you to run down the hallways naked Harry?" Ron asked as the were halfway up the stairs to the tower. "I hope not!" Harry said is eyes wide. He could just imagine the look on McGonagall's face if she caught him doing that! On the other hand if Snape would have found him, well Harry didn't want to think about that. Hermione seemed to be in deep thought because she hadn't said a word since they had left the Common Room. "What's up Hermione?" Ron asked looking worried. "Well, just think about this, if we get caught it will be terrible!" "Harry has the Invisibility Cloak! He can use that!" "No he cant!" Hermione interrupted. "If Malfoy ever finds out about that cloak he will know how you snuck into Hogsmead in our 3rd year and well it would just prove a lot of things! Snape would make sure it was confiscated!"
"Your right Hermione" Harry said as the reached the door to the tower. "Where did he say that this Truth or Dare takes place again? In the Astronomy tower right?" "Right" Said Hermione as Harry pushed the door open. They sat down still talking and discussing things on the upcoming weekend. After class, everyone was thoroughly exhausted. Its was 2:00 if the morning and everyone started trooping down the stairs towards their common rooms. Harry, Ron and Hermione didn't talk much. They were to tired. The Truth or Dare thing was only a few days away. As they got to their dormitories and said good night as they parted on the stairs, they yawned the whole time, their eyes heavy with sleepiness.
The days passed and Malfoy, every time they saw him in the halls, he wore a look that made them wonder if he would keep his secret. It was only one day away from that night when the game would take place and they would see who wins this one. At lunch the day before, everyone was looking forward for the night to end to the could have that two day break from all the work. "I just find the weekend to be days were you can catch up on all the work." Hermione had said with a slight frown. She didn't approve of the way Harry and Ron lounged away the weekends in the common room or playing chess, and not studying. Harry and Ron weren't listening to her as they quietly ate, they were busy discussing what they been for the past few nights after the agreement for the game, how to outdo Malfoy and what tricks he might have up his sleeve.
"Do you think we should take our wands" Harry asked as picked up his sandwich. "I don't know, I think we should. I mean, knowing Malfoy he is probably planning something sinister and he's bringing his too." Ron answered. "Then its settled. We will sneak up to the tower----" "Without the Invisibility Cloak." Ron cut in with much dismay. "Yea, anyway---" Harry went on. "We put our plan into action, Hermione before we leave tonight we are going to have to tell you me and Ron's ideas for the Dares and Truths." "All right, but remember, I have a few ideas too, if you don't mind." Harry and Ron looked at each other, then back at Hermione. "Okay." They said. "Tell us your ideas tonight in the common room before we leave." Ron said. Harry looked at both of his eager friends. "Everything is settled then, right?" Ron and Hermione nodded. "Okay, we strike out at midnight."
That night, all the classes were over with, and everyone in the Common Room had drifted off to bed. (Harry and Ron prolonging their 'pretend' game of chess so no one would ask why they were staying up late. Hermione of course, was reading a heavy book and no one dared disturb her.) Harry checked his watch, nodded and said, "Its time." They had decided to take the Invisibility Cloak after all, to get past the portraits in the hallways and Filch, but was going to hide it in outside the door to the Astronomy Tower so Malfoy didn't spot it. As the threw the cloak over them the crept out of the portrait hole and stealthily tiptoed down the hallways and corridors.
They approached the stairs to the Astronomy Tower, they started wondering is Malfoy was there yet. As they got to the door Harry put his hand on the handle then turned around. "Here we go, there is no turning back." "Don't worry, were ready." Ron said smiling, although you could tell he was a little nervous. Hermione just nodded and smiled. Harry turned the handle and pushed the door open. They looked around. "Hey, I don't see him, maybe he isn't here yet!" Harry said. "Maybe he chickened out!" Ron said with a hint of relief in his voice. "Don't get your hopes up Weasley." Said a silky menacing voice. The trio whipped around. Draco Malfoy stepped out of the shadows and closed the door. "Your creepy." Ron said. Malfoy shot him a dirty look. "And your poor." He said smoothly. "Come on Malfoy! We came here to play a game of Truth or Dare! Not to insult each other!" Harry burst out at Malfoy. "Shhh! Harry! We can still be heard!" Hermione shrilled. "Fine! Harry said. Let the games begin!" They went out on the balcony and set in a circle under the stars. A light breeze was blowing. Since it was winter Hermione conjured up a little blue flame in an open jar for them to warm up to. They also had there cloaks bundled up around them. "Who goes first?" Harry asked. "I will give you permission to start off Potter." Malfoy said with a sneer. "Oh thanks Malfoy!"Ron said sarcastically. "Real sporting of you!" Hermione added with the same tone. "That's enough!" Malfoy yelled" On with the game!"
Harry started first. His pulse quickened, this had been the moment he and the others had been waiting for. He just hoped that all the dares he prepared had a nice effect on Malfoy. Harry stared at his two friends and they nodded for him to go ahead and dare Malfoy. "Okay, Malfoy! Truth of Dare?" Malfoy's lips curled into a sneer. "Dare!" Harry threw a quick glance at Ron and Hermione who looked a tad bit worried. "Alright, Malfoy, I dare you to......put on some of Hermione's dress robes and let us take a picture of it!." (they had decided to start out a bit mild and get worse as the game went on) Malfoy looked shocked. "A dress?! No wa---" "Chicken!" Ron and Harry yelled. Hermione wanted to keep her mouth shut. "You have to do it Malfoy! Its part of the Dare!" "Fine! I will do it! But wait! You dont have it with you! Haha!"
Hermione smiled and she pulled her dress robes from a little sack which she was carrying . "What!? You.....you...." "Yes we brought it Malfoy and there is another catch to this Dare. Harry said. "After we take a picture of you, we get to tack it up on the Great Hall billboard! For everyone too see!" Malfoy's eyes went wide. "You have got to be joking---" "No! Either do it or pay the consequences." Ron said gesturing towards the dress. "Fine! Can I put it over my clothes?" "Yes, but you have to take your robes off though." Hermione said. Malfoy scowled at them as he snatched the dress robes from Hermione's hand. They were her 'new' dress robes. Not the ones she wore to the Yule Ball last year. These were the color----
"PINK!" Screamed Malfoy. "I didn't see the color in the shadows, it was too dark!" "Oh well, go on now put them on." Ron said. Malfoy, his face white with shock went to a dark corner and pulled off his robes and slipped on the dress robes. Then he walked back out. The trio burst into laughter! "HAHAHAHAHA!" Harry laughed loudly. Hermione was red, and Ron was just so overcome he could hardly breathe. Malfoy's once white from shock face, was now red from embarrassment. Ron pulled out the wizard camera and tried to hold it still do he could take it but his hands were shaking from laughter. "I haven't laughed this hard since we pulled that trick on you a few weeks ago!" Malfoy shot him a piercing stare. Hermione grabbed the camera and held it up. "Go on now stand in the light of the moon so I can get a good shot." "And twirl some too so we can see the pretty dress flow!" Harry choked out. Ron started crying he was laughing so hard. "Oh!" He said. "That color, its soooo you!" He gave Malfoy a thumbs up.
Hermione (with much difficulty) steadied the camera and snapped it. "There! Your picture has been taken. Now all we have to do is to put it in the solution to make it move, which I brought with me." She smiled at Malfoy who was looking ready to kill. Although he didn't look to threatening in his pink dress. Hermione grabbed a bottle from her back pack and dropped a few onto the picture. (it was an instant camera) And put it aside out of the way. "Okay its my turn now!" Said Malfoy as he pulled off the dress robes and threw them over the edge of the tower and it fell towards the ground. Hermione gasped. "How dare you!" Malfoy ignored her and turned to Harry. "I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time." Harry was ready for anything. Malfoy's face split into a cruel smile.
"Truth or Dare Harry!" Malfoy spat. Harry looked at him and answered, "Truth." "Alright, who do you have a crush on?" Harry' face was getting red. He never really told anyone it was Cho Chang. He defiantly didn't want Malfoy to find out but he had to say it. "Its Cho Chang." He whispered. "I'm sorry," Malfoy smirked. "I didn't hear you." "ITS CHO CHANG!" Harry burst out leaving everyone with wide eyes. "Cho Chang? Really, I bet I know what you wanna do with her......You wanna get her all alone, then creep up to your dormitory with her, then get comfy on your four poster then---" "MALFOY STOP IT!" Hermione said. Harry was so red he was the color of Ron's hair. Malfoy shut up and then said, " Alright then, its your turn Granger." Hermione looked and decided to dare Ron. "Truth or Dare?" Ron thought for a moment and said Dare.
Ron, it turned out had to strut around and wear a prefect badge, for the rest of the game. Ron had winced as Hermione put it on him. Ron hated it. He didn't want to be like Percy. Hermione knew this. Then it was Ron's turn. He dared Hermione too........"I'm not gonna kiss Malfoy!!!!!!!!" She screamed. Malfoy went white. "You have to do it Hermione. Its your Dare." Ron smiled. He was getting back at her for the Prefect badge. That's how much he hated that. Hermione was ashen faced and red with anger. "FINE! Where to I have to kiss him. Don't say on the lips I beg of you!" Harry was fighting between laughter and the state of shock. "On the cheek will be fine." Ron said. Hermione got up and then sat beside Malfoy. He looked at her with utter disgust. "I don't want a Mudblood kissing me! That's filthy!" Malfoy shouted. "Oh well, your part of this Dare so you have to participate." Harry said. Hermione closed her eyes. So did Malfoy. She leaned in closer and closer until she touched his cheek. She gave a small peck on the cheek. After that she started hacking and coughing as though she has just swallowed a bug. Malfoy went over the edge of the tower and was yelling for some disinfectant. "Soap, soap! My kingdom for some soap!!!"
It had taken Hermione and Malfoy 20 minutes to calm down enough to resume play. When they were done Malfoy dared Ron. "I Dare you to kiss Hermione!" Ron went red. So did Hermione. Malfoy looked at them and smiled. "On the lips!" Both so red that they were as scarlet as the Gryffindor seal, they locked lips. They had held their kiss for 2 minutes. "I think you enjoyed that Ron!" Harry said patting Ron and the back and giving him a thumbs up." Ron and Hermione remained red. Looking at each other every now and then, as though they longed to do it again. Malfoy was disgusted and disappointed, he wanted them to hate it. The game passed on and on until it was just a few more hours until sunrise when the game would end. It was bitter cold outside and the little flame Hermione had conjured was growing dim and colder.
Then at last it was time for the last Dare of the night. Before this Harry had dared Ron to say something nice about Malfoy. That took at least 15 minutes. Malfoy had Dared Harry to go down to the teachers dorms and moon Professor McGonagall. Hermione, to Harry's relief shot that down because they couldn't be seen. So instead Harry had to kiss Ron and Malfoy had to get a picture. They had to kiss on the lips while hugging each other. Malfoy had snapped the picture and wanted to keep it for black mail purposes. Then it was Harry's turn. The game had started with Harry and gone all the way around the group until it was back to Harry. Harry consulted Ron and Hermione on this one. It was the grand finale that they had been planning on. Harry turned to Malfoy with a grin on his face of pure triumph. "Malfoy, Truth or Dare!" They already knew what Malfoy would pick. He never picked Truth. "DARE!" Said Malfoy. The trio smiled. "Okay then, you asked for it. We saved the best for last." Harry said. "You have to strip down naked and jump into the lake." Malfoy looked at all three of them. "Are you crazy! There is a giant squid in there! He might eat me!" "I don't think so." Ron said. "I think it will enjoy a little playful swim with you!" Hermione picked up the jar with the little blue flame in it and said, "You may undress yourself now and you may put a cloak around you so you wont be see and so we cant see you. I think I would die if I saw you naked."
Malfoy went over to a dark corner while the others turned their backs. He took a cloak with him and started to undress. He pulled off his pajamas and his undergarments. Then slipped the cloak on. Malfoy stepped out of the corner with his clothes tucked under his arm. "Okay you can turn around, lets go get this over with." As they walked down the steps towards the entrance hall Ron stared singing the funeral march. "Shut up Weasley!" Malfoy spat. Harry and Hermione laughed. Ron joined in. As they got off the stairs and started getting closer to the Entrance Hall, Malfoy was getting more angry. "I cant believe I'm letting you make me do this! It feel so weird under this cloak without any clothes on! And I'm gonna freeze! If I die and my father finds out, you will expelled and never allowed back and you will regret you ever made me do this!" Hermione rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up! I wondered how long it was going to be before you started complaining!"
They got to the entrance hall and opened the great oak front doors and stepped out into cold, powdery snow. "YIKES! Its cold!" Malfoy shouted. Ron put his hand on Malfoys mouth. "SHH! Shut up! Your going to get us caught!" "I don't have any shoes!" Malfoy said angrily. "No one cares, come on the lake is just a short walk from here!" Harry hissed. They trudged through the snow down to the lake. When they got there Malfoy stared complaining again. "The water will be freezing!" He said as the trio pushed him out to the edge of a little dock that was standing over the water. "Oh come on! You said you would do it, now do it!" Ron said. Malfoy looked down at the cold steely colored water. He bent down and stuck his hand in. "BRRRR! It is freezing! Oh and another thing! How am I going to do this with out you seeing me......you know.......naked!? "Oh don't worry Malfoy." Harry said as he and Ron walked behind him on the dock. "I'm sure you will find a way. At that Harry and Ron grabbed the cloak and then pushed Malfoy off the dock. SPLASH! He fell naked into the icy water! Hermione didn't even have to close her eyes it all happened to fast you couldn't see anything. "AHHHHHHHHH! COLD!" Malfoy screamed. The trio looked on in amusement. "HAHAHAHA!" How is the water Malfoy, is it really nice and refreshing?" Ron said with mock interest. Malfoy was splashing around trying to keep moving so he wouldn't freeze. " Your turning blue!" Harry said. "HAHAHA!" Hermione was overcome with laughter she could hardly speak. Then her eyes went wide and she stopped laughing. "Look you guys!" She said to Harry and Ron. Hermione pointed to a ripple in the water moving towards Malfoy and growing bigger. Harry, Ron followed her finger and saw it. They knew it had to be only one thing......THE GIANT SQUID!" Malfoy yelled as tentacles shot up from the water and wrapped themselves around his body! "AHH---!" Malfoy tired to yell but the tentacles were so tight around his stomach and chest he couldn't talk! He couldn't even breathe! The Giant Squid started shaking him around. Obviously only playing with him. When the trio realized this they started cracking up! "Looks like you have a new friend Malfoy!" Harry yelled. Ron was laughing so hard he was crying again. Hermione had grabbed the camera and she pulled it out of her little sack she had. When Harry and Ron saw that she was taking a picture, that threw them into another wave of laughter!" Malfoy was getting tosses side to side and then dunked then dragged back out of the water again by the Giant Squid. Coughing and sputtering, Malfoy tried to call for help but he couldn't! He was drenched!
Hermione raised the camera and yelled, "Smile Malfoy!" SNAP! She took the picture and looked at Harry and nodded her head. Harry knew that meant Malfoy had had enough. He looked at Ron and Ron reluctantly (because he wanted to see Malfoy struggle some more) took out his wand and so did Harry. "Expelliarmus!" They shouted and the Giant Squid dropped Malfoy onto the deck. Hermione covered her eyes. Harry and Ron ran up to Malfoy and threw the cloak on top if him. Malfoy was soaking wet. His hair was, plastered to his head, along with sweat running down his face, but it was hardly distinguishable because of all the water that was dripping off him. Malfoy took the cloak and wrapped it around him. He was as cold as ice and as blue as a cloudless sky. Speaking of sky, a pink orange tint was creeping over the grounds. Sunrise. They had to get back to there dorms and quick! Harry keeping to the word of the game, threw the picture of him and Ron kissing at him and said. "Here is your blackmail, now we have to go and put up your picture! Malfoy had a cold glint in his eye but he nodded his head and snatched the picture out of Harry's hand. The trio ran back up the stone steps into the Entrance Hall and dashed back up to the Gryffindor Common Room after making a quick stop outside the Great Hall. Throwing on the Invisibility Cloak. (It was in Hermione's bag also) The whispered the password. Totally confusing the Fat Lady and scrambling into the Common Room.
Malfoy was left to climb back up to the castle and to his dorm alone. He picked up his clothes and still soaking wet, trudged back up to the Great Oak doors, through the Entrance Hall and strait to the dungeons. He was still so angry he didn't look where he was going. And before he could even get to the dungeon door, the thunder of many feet were heard. All of a sudden all of the student came in heading to breakfast. Malfoy was too slow to get back to his Common Room. The whole crowd of students stopped and stared at him dripping wet, in a cloak carrying pajamas. Malfoy looked in horror as he saw teachers coming up behind their students. Malfoy tried to make a run for it, but the weight of the water on the cloak was too much. POP! The cloak fastenings came undone and it fell to the floor! Malfoy was caught showing his bare rear end to the entire school! People burst out laughing and some fell to the floor from shock. Some screamed out in sarcastic tones such as, "Nice butt Malfoy!" "OMG! Look at that!" Some even whistled. Malfoy went from a shocked white face to red and back to white and he saw Harry, Ron and Hermione in that crowd, and the teachers looking startled standing behind them!
Malfoy picked up the cloak and ran towards the dungeons with all the teachers on his heels! Then as all the students were filing into the Great Hall .some peoples sides hurting from laughing too much looked up on the Great Hall bulletin board. What everyone saw and what their reactions were, is what made the rest of Harry, Ron and Hermione's day. There was the huge moving picture of Malfoy twirling around in the pink dress robes.
