Chapter 1
It is the first month of the 8th year student at hogwarts, due to the war the past 7th years didn't get chance to fulfill their education. Therefore they are here to complete it. Currently few gryffindors, slytherins and ravenclaws found themselves in the room of eequirement for the house party hosted by hermione granger and pansy parkinson. Despite the different roles in the war, both of the girls quickly formed a friendship and created the idea of creating peace amongst the rivals and trying to make them see that they have unnoticed feelings.
Hermione pov:
I've been at this party for 35 minutes and 20 seconds , but who's counting? Me and pansy have created a scheme of a muggle game called "truth or dare" only harry will understand so I had to explain it to pansy and let's say, she was more than onboard with it. So here I am, surrounded by Harry, draco, luna, ginny, braise and my boyfriend Ronald Wensley. We got together during the last part of the war in hogwarts as we realised our hatred for first to third year was really, love. Enough of that, I've gathered the alcohol (fire whiskey- which has strong effect from the first drink) and we are surrounded in a circle.
"Okay, so we are about to play truth or dare where you will get to choose one or the other, if you pick 'truth" someone will ask you a question and you must answer truthfully, if you pick dare we will give you something to do to humour ourselves " I wink to pansy " and if you refuse you will have to drink" at this, everyone nodded. I sat next to Ron with Harry on my other side, draco and braise opposite me and luna next to Harry while ginny sits next to Ron.
"Luna, truth or dare" blaise asks, breaking the ice.
"Truth!" She exclaims
Zabini lowly mutters "boring" however quickly recovers and asks "who was your first crush?"
" Oh, it was neville. But then I changed my mind and were both good friends"
"Okay, Harry! Truth or dare" she challenges
"Let's go with dare" I see draco in the corner of my eye raising his brow in a smug way to him, interested as its the first dare of the night even if its early in the game
"I dare you to... drink 7 shots of fire whiskey" the slytherins snicker as if doubting him and , proving them wrong, Harry grabs 7 and drinks them only the spot.
Harry pov:
I was just dared to drink an unreasonable amount of fire whiskey at the same time and I completed it, of course, but I felt the weight of my consequences as the feeling burnt my throat. With a grim face, I turned to hermione and asked the infamous question of "truth or dare"
She decided "dare" I was proud, we weren't gryffindors for anything. Before I could speak , zabini cut me off speaking her dare of "lay the head on weasley's lap until the next game and turn to the rest of us!"
In my opinion, that was rather odd and 'mione even showed a little shock but it faltered as quickly as it arrived because she shrugged and abided by her dare as if it was a daily occurrence for them. Which in their case, it was.
I look over to them and unintentionally stare, I think their adorable. Even though we've all been bestfriends since the first train ride, I'm so happy for them. They both deserve the happiness they bring out of each other and I'm glad to be by their side, but sometimes I wish I had someone like that, who would love me, care for me and more importantly hold me. Times like this was when I went into a spiral about the topic . Since 6th year I've had my eye on a certain blonde slytherin and although I knew he was up to something, there's was always a thing about him that interested me . 2 years ago I found that it was feelings, strong feelings that I had for him however these were masked by deep hatred. I could never mean any of that though, I didn't have it in me.
I have to admit though, he is breathtakingly beautiful and he's smart, funny, sarcastic, witty. Even adorable, if 3rd me heard my thoughts right now I'm sure I would've hexed myself. But it's not my fault, I think I'm in love with him, I mean how can you not be? Look at him. Also, I know it's pointless he hates me , that much is visible but I like to think he is going through the same thing as me. Deep inside, he has a golden heart and he shows it sometimes, I hope this night ends on a good note.
Narrator pov:
They play the game for 3 and a half more house until the clock strikes 11:30 pm indicating they have been here for approximately 4 hours. It was all peaceful until one particular dare was aimed towards draco malfoy. That he simply couldn't refuse no matter how much he appeared he did.
Draco pov:
I have been sat here for a very long time now, and I don't hoe long exactly but all I know is I see a not-so-subtle golden boy staring at me. Truth be told, I've had a small crush on him since 4th year, don't consult my friends they'll say its an obsession which is a complete lie. Sometimes he just gets under my skin, he infuriates me. Even then, I can't be mad for long because off his damn cute green eyes that are too vibrant to be considered normal. I don't even know why I hold on to any shred of hope, he hates me and that aches my heart at times but then realise that if its meant to happen , it will. If not, then I guess it wasn't the right time bur I know that is reserved for another universe.
