The Game

Chapter 1: The Dare

"This is stupid!" Harry and Ron groaned in unison as Hermione drug them to the Gryffindor Common room for yet another round of a muggle game called 'Truth or Dare.'

"I hate this Hermione, please..." Harry pleaded with her. She looked back and winked, giving him a knowing look and he grinned.

They all seated themselves in the common room. It was Ginny, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Lavender, Parvati, Seamus, Dean, Neville and a few others, such as Luna from Ravenclaw. Ron groaned at the sight of Lavender and sat next to Dean and Seamus on the floor, avoiding eye contact with her.

"Who's starting?" Lavender Chirped. "How about Ginny?"

Ginny shrugged. "Fine." She eyed everyone in the room for a moment and settled on her brother. "Ronald..." He groaned and rolled his eyes."

"Dare." He said.

"Ronald...you must..." She looked at everyone else. Luna was sitting next to her and she grinned evilly. "You have to do seven minutes in Heaven with Luna." Luna blushed furiously.

A few girls laughed and so did Harry, but Ron was confused. "What's seven minutes in heaven?"

"It's a game..." Lavender said. "When you and a partner go into a cupboard...for seven minutes...and snog."

"Snog for seven minutes?" He looked at Luna and she giggled and nodded.

"Yes." Ginny said plainly as Harry laughed at Ron's expression.

Ron looked at Luna again who was still blushing furiously and swallowed hard. "Fine." He said. It can't possibly be that bad. He thought.

"Follow me." Ginny led them out of the room and a few minutes later she returned.

"How are you going to know if they did anything?" Parvati asked.

"There are spells for almost anything these days. Trust me...you will know if they don't do anything." Ginny said, smiling evilly.

It had been nearly 15 minutes and Ron and Luna still hadn't returned from the cupboard. They continued with their game, finisheing a few more dares and truths. Dean Thomas dared Parvati to go skinny dipping in the lake and they watched her from the common room windows. She was in the process of gathering her clothes and returning to the common room. Neville was forced to tell who he secretly had a crush on and when he said 'Ginny', they both blushed slightly. Finally it was Hermione's turn and she turned to Ginny.

"Truth or Dare, Ginny."

"Dare."

Hermione smirked evilly at Ginny and Ginny glared back. "What are you thinking?"

Hermione giggled. "I've been waiting for my turn all night!"

"Just get on with it, Hermione." Ginny said exasperatedly.

"Alright, alright." Hermione laughed. Harry watched the evil gleam in her eye and knew she had an evil plan. "Ok...first of all...your dare will take place tomorrow morning at breakfast." She began. Ginny glared. "In front of everyone..."

Ron and Luna chose this time to walk in the room and take their seats again. They both had flustered looks on their faces and blushed as everyone stared at them. Ginny couldn't hold her laughter in and everyone else started to laugh.

As soon as the laughing died down, Hermione continued. "Anyway...Ginny, your dare...In the morning at breakfast, you have to approach the Slytherin table...and kiss..." She trailed off, leaving Ginny furious.

"Kiss who?" Lavender perked up at the mention of kissing.

Hermione had a smug, knowing look on her face as she said the name. "...Draco Malfoy." She looked straight at Ginny who continued to glare. "Long and good."

Some people gasped and Lavender Giggled. Harry just stared.

"Draco Malfoy?" Ginny repeated the name. Just the thought of him made her quiver...his grey eyes, sleek blond hair and oh so sexy body. she thought for a moment trying not to let a look of pleasure creep onto her face. "Fine. But don't think I'll like it." Ginny lied. "But Hermione knows more than anyone that I won't turn down a dare." She continued to glare. She also knows how sexy I think he is...the little hooch!

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The next morning, Ron and Luna never showed up in the common room and Harry, Hermione and Ginny decided to go to breakfast without them.

"They must have had fun last night." Ginny laughed.

Hermione smiled. "Don't forget about your little dare, Ginny."

Ginny glared daggers at her. "Don't worry...I haven't forgotten."

"You know that is very cruel." Harry whispered as they followed Ginny to the Gryffindor table.

"I know." Hermione stated. "But I dont' think she will do it."

Harry raised his brows. "Ginny has never turned down and dare...and you think this one will scare her?"

"We'll just have to wait and find out." Hermione shrugged her shoulders. She won't do it..it'll embarrass her too much. She grinned.

Everyone from the Gryffindor table was looking at Ginny as she sat down for breakfast, not just the people who knew about the dare.

"News travels fast." Hermione said as she sat across from Ginny and Harry at the table.

"Doesn't it always?" Harry pointed out.

Whispers were traveling up and down the Gryffindor table and people kept looking at Ginny. The ruckuss gained the attention of the other three house tables, but only Gryffindor seemed to know what was going on.

"She won't do it." Lavender said loud enough for Ginny to hear. Seamus said she was to whimpy to do it and Dean Thomas agreed.

Ginny growled inwardly and stood. All eyes were on her as she set across the Great Hall to the Slytherin table. The whispers continued as she approached Draco, who sat staring at her like the rest of the students and faculty. He looked confused for a moment and was about to say something when Ginny swooped down and ferociously pushed her lips onto his. The whole Great Hall was silent as they maintained their liplock. Ginny forced her tongue into his mouth and wanted to groan as she intertwined it with his. She had told herself that if she was going to do this, then she was going to enjoy it. And she was. Draco didn't resist, but just let her kiss him and she swirled her tongue around playfully for a moment. Finally she pulled away and was surprised that he wasn't washing out his mouth or something, but just looking at her. Then she strode out of the Great Hall. Applause and hoots of laughter rang throughout the Hall and Ginny smiled, pleased with herself that she had accomplished the dare.
