It was after the big truce and that all the eighth year students were joined together as one big house. Hermione and Pansy sat at the 'union table' in the big common room, making bracelets out of dried in polymer flowers and berries.

Ron and Harry played wizard chess, while Draco sat cross legged on the back on the sofa, watching them. Blaise was rounding up on Lavender and Ginny was trying to get Harry's attention, who didn't care much.

"Knight, E3."

Harry's queen was down and he was checked.

"Bishop, A4."

Ron's knight was down and the king was safe from nearby attacks.

Ron grinned an evil smile, and Harry knew what he had missed out.

"Castle, F6."

Harry's king was down from a far side hit, and it was check mate.

"Dang it, not again."

"Don't mess with the professional" Ron started showing off, making a small victory dance.

Draco clicked his tongue a few times and the two boys remembered he was there. They looked at him, as if he didn't belong there. The blonde noticed and rolled his eyes.

"What? I'm bored."

"Go douche around somewhere else, Malfoy." Ron grumbled at him, pointing a finger at the two girls making bracelets and the two Gryffindors chuckled.

"What makes you think I want to do girly activities? Bad enough I have nothing to do. Worse, I am not even allowed to watch others do anything? Merlin, you're harsh."

Draco stood up elegantly, walking over to Blaise and trying to rip him away from Lavender who was on the verge of a tantrum.

Pansy and Hermione noticed the negative energy zapping between the three boys and decided to mess in.

"Hey guys, I know what we can all do. It's going to be fun and nobody is going to be bored. It will help us get together better after the war and understand each other more!"

The crowd (Ginny, Blaise, Draco, Ron, Harry and Lavender) all turned to look her way, curious but concerned.

"Yeah, good idea Pansy," said Hermione understanding what game she meant. "Let's all play truth or dare-"

"Phah, lame!" Shouted Malfoy and he and Blaise snickered to themselves.

Hermione shot I'm an annoyed look and rolled her eyes. "Let me finish."

"We will play truth or dare...kiss or swear."

The boys shuddered, knowing the level 2 version of the game was going to be risky and disgusting.

"Do we have to?" Frowned Ron, shooting a begging look at his girlfriend.

"Yes. All of you have to play. Come on then, I know just the place." Pansy said, getting up from the table and walking over to the exit with Hermione. Hermione grabbed Ron by the sleeve and dragged him along while she passed him to the door, which stuttered him.

"Fine." Everyone said almost in unison, standing up and following the girls. Hermione and Pansy knew what they were going to do.

Hermione knew that Harry was gay and Pansy had the same information on Draco. The two shared the little personal secret with one another and agreed that they would make a good couple. So they decided to use this game to their advantage.

Although nobody else except for the two girls knew about their sexual preferences. They would use the game to get the two boys together into a sweet romance, as the rules of the game were that you had to do the truth dare kiss or swear no matter what, otherwise something bad will happen to you and that was true. Once a boy refused to kiss a teacher's desk, and his right shoulder was in stinging pain for the rest of the day.

The group reached the room of requirement after a few minutes of walking down the marble stairs and long wavy corridors. Pansy paced three times before the room, thinking 'I need a place for a group game, that would be very cozy and comfortable.'

The door opened and they entered the room. It was a perfect set. There were stuffy pillows, mats, bean bags and all scattered all over the floor. The whole room was basically sinking in the stuff, as you couldn't see the floor at all. There was dim perfumed candle light that scented of cinnamon and orange peel.

"Alright. Sit down in a circle and we will begin. We will go around anti-clockwise, and you can pick any person. But everyone should have a go every one round."

Everyone sat in a circle. Lavender Hermione Pansy and Ginny sat together, while Ron and Harry sat as far apart for, Blaise and Draco as possible.

"Alright. You all know the rules right? Okay then, let's-" Pansy was interrupted by Lavender's hand shooting up in the air, who shook her head.

"Alright then. I'll skim over the rules quickly. So." She cleared her threat and spoke.

"You are being asked 'truth or dare, kiss or swear' and you have to pick one. If you pick truth, you have to answer truth to any question you are being asked. If you pick dare, you have to do whatever you are told to do. If you pick kiss, you have to kiss whoever you are told to kiss. And if you pick swear, you have to swear to do or not to do something you are told and keep the promise for the rest of the game.

"You absolutely HAVE to do the truth dare kiss or the swear otherwise you are going to feel hard pain in a certain place of your body. You are not allowed to quit the game until it is over, and you lot absolutely have to play. As this is an advanced version of 'truth or dare', we are using the potion of truth for the 'truth' and the vowing spell for 'swear'."

Lavender nodded slowly, getting the hang of it. Hermione took out her wand and a bottle of the truth potion. She set it in the middle, so that they could be used at al, times.

"Well? Should we begin?" Said Blaise, shaking off the terror.

"Yeah." Everyone said in unison, Draco and Harry shooting each other a deadly stare.
