This is the very first fanfic I've ever written so try not to be too harsh with reviews. Constructive criticism will be taken as such; blatant acts of jackass-ery will be ignored. I will warn you now that this story contains scenes of romance/lust between all genders whether it is male/female, male/male or female/female. I see no reason to discriminate and how many games of truth or dare didn't lead to things of that nature when played by hormonal teenagers? Also, I would like to point out that in this story, Harry has defeated Voldemort in his sixth year, so he is able to return to Hogwarts for his seventh and final year. All the deaths in books one to six will be intact but all the deaths in the final book will be ignored; this is mostly due to the fact that I want to bring Fred and George into the story. Now to the larger summary of the story.

Summary: It's the final year at Hogwarts and the Golden Trio want to have some fun. While researching in the library, Hermione stumbles across a book that contains old games with magical tricks. When she decides on a school-wide game of truth or dare, she doesn't realize how quickly things begin to become out of hand. How far will things go before secrets begin to spill?

A Dangerous Game of Truth or Dare

Prologue

Hermione was up late again studying for her transfiguration class in the library when she began to wonder what this year at Hogwarts would behold. After Harry's victory over the Dark Lord, there didn't seem to be anything that would be even mildly entertaining to take her and her friends away from school work. She sighed as he stood up from her chair, the soft scrapping of it's legs echoing in the empty library. "I wonder if there is anything of interest in here that will keep me entertained for the year," Hermione spoke to herself quietly. She refused to be loud in a library, even if she was the only one in it. She began to scan the rows of books on the shelves around her in an attempt to find something when a colourful book seem to sparkle. "What's this?" she asks as she grabs it and wipes the small traces of dust from the cover. 'Muggle Games With Wizard Twists' was written across the cover in bright blue letters on the rainbow background. "This seems so childish. Why am I even looking at this?" Hermione questioned herself as she began to scan the pages of the book. Most of the games in the book weren't new to her; she lived as a muggle herself and was accustomed to these games. 'Spin the bottle? Seven Minutes in Heaven? I've never? These games are so short and you can't really involve to many people. It's completely pointless.' Hermione thought to herself and just as she was about to close the book, one last game caught her eye. After reading the magical rules to the game, she tore the page from the book out of sheer excitement and ran. Only after a few seconds of running did her body freeze. She realized that not only did she drop a book on the floor, but she just ripped it. She looked around for witnesses, not expecting to see anyone as the library had been empty for hours, before running off again to find Ron and Harry.

Hermione came crashing into the Gryffindor Common Room to find Harry and Ron in a game of wizard chess, Ron with the clear victory in short sight. Hermione tossed the torn paper down on the chess board and the two boys looked up at their friend. "Read it!" she ordered and the two boys complied. The paper had read:

Truth or Dare

This game can be played with any infinite number of people as long as they are contained in a small surrounding for the duration of the game and they know they are part of the game. At the beginning of the day, a person is to choose a dare for another game player and it will be transferred to them. They have until the morning after to complete the dare. If the player is able to complete the dare by the following morning, they are to choose the next dare and the next player. If the player is unable to complete the dare by the following morning, they are to meet at a designated area, chose by the creator, and reveal a secret uncontrollably. With each dare a player is unable to complete, the secret becomes more and more personal.

Harry and Ron looked up at Hermione once they finished reading the paper. "Where did you get this?" Ron asked.

"Not important," Hermione replied quickly as her face turned red, "but don't you think it would be fun to do this? I mean, we could get the entire school involved and it would certainly add some excitement to our year."

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Harry questioned, "I mean, what if things get out of hand?"

"Harry, when have you ever been the one to back out of doing something that is likely to end badly?" Hermione retorted and Harry slouched into his chair.

"I think it might be fun," Ron said, hoping to dodge Hermione's wrath, "when do we get started?"

"I'll have the letters owled right away, we can start tomorrow morning." Hermione replied as she ran off to the girl's dormitory to start. Harry looked over at Ron.

"Are you sure it's a good idea?" Harry asked.

"What's the worst that can happen?" Ron reassured Harry. Harry shrugged and the two of them made their way to the boy's dormitory.
