Chapter 5
Serpentine's POV
I rolled my eyes at the twins before taking my turn. They should know by now that Neville always wins when it comes to bets. Unless he was betting against me, of course. I never lost in a single bet before.
I spun the bottle and it landed on the Weasel.
"Truth or dare?" I asked him.
"Dare," he sneered in reply before realizing what he said.
'Perfect.'
"Merlin save my soul," Weasel yelled out.
The grin I had on my face when he said those words made him gulp in trepidation.
Everyone who bared witness of the disasters that was one of my dares shuddered. Those who haven't wondered what is so scary about one dare. That was until they saw the grin on my face.
"I'll tell you your dare after your turn and it will end when the bottle points to your spot again," I stated.
Weasel sighed in relief. That was before realizing that his impending doom was merely delayed.
"Fine," he squeaked as he spans the bottle. It landed on George.
"Truth or dare?" Weasel asked.
George looked at him for a few moments before answering. "Truth."
"Did you and Fred intentionally turn my favorite stuffed toy into a bunch of tarantulas back when I was 5 because I told Mum about a prank the two of you were planning?" Ron asked.
"Yes," George grinned. Fred mirrored his grin as they hi-fived.
"I knew it. And Mum kept on saying it was just accidental magic," Ron shouted.
Everyone just ignored him. This caused him to huff in indignation.
"You two must be quite gifted to be able to have that much control of your magic," Narcissa commented.
"If you think"
"that is impressive,"
"then wait"
" until you hear"
"what Serpentine did." The twins exclaimed.
This caused Serpentine to jab both of them as the attention of everyone in the room was now on him. Looking at all the inquisitive faces, he sighed and conceded.
"I may have Apparated to the rooftop of my school back when I was 8."
"You APPARATED when you were 8," exclaimed everyone in the room except for the twins and I. They were all staring at him in astonishment.
"I know that it is quite shocking but could you all please stop gawking at me," I stated.
Those who are on the Dark side to quickly mask their reactions. The Light trio took a couple of minutes before they stopped staring at him.
George was about to spin the bottle when I stopped him.
"George, wait. I haven't given Ronald his dare yet."
"This is"
"going to"
"be fun." the twins cackled.
"Misty," I called out.
A house elf that was wearing a green dress with the emblem of House of Potter sown into it pooped into existence.
"How can I be of service, Master Serpentine?" the elf asked.
"I want you to..." I whispered to the house elf so that no one else could hear the dare that I plan on implementing.
"I will be right back with the things that you have requested for, Master Serpentine."
The elf promptly left. It popped back a minute later with a tank covered with a black cloth.
"I dare you to skinny dip in that tank."
Ron shrugged. "Seems easy enough."
He took off his clothes and climbed up the ladder. As he jumped inside, the most girlish scream echoed throughout the halls.
