Fortunately, everything was still going well, the party was in full swing and the drinks were loosening everyone up, including Hermione. There were people talking, dancing, playing drinking games, the latter of which was started by the Slytherins. Which is why Hermione wasn't surprised when Pansy stepped up onto a chair and called everyone's attention.

"Listen up everyone! As his party is all about inter house unity I think it's time we showed you all hows it's done in Slytherin." She said loudly. Hermione could see the twinkle in her eye and immediately became suspicious.

"Now I need everybody to come and sit in a circle, we're going to play a little game. Mind you, this isn't for the faint of heart so anyone without the bollocks," she drawled looking straight at where a group of Gryffidors were standing. "might want to step out now, once you're in it you cant get out until the game is over!'

"You haven't even told us the game" said Neville walking toward the group.

Pansy turned a sharks smile on Neville, "it's just a little game or truth or dare, of course"

Most people were familiar with the game and started making a circle. Hermione, being the one to pioneer the inter house unity with the party also joined. It wouldn't do well to have all of her hard work unraveled because people saw she didn't want to play a game with the Slytherins. And she didn't. By the way Pansy was smiling she could tell nothing good was going to come of this, but the warmth of the Firewhisky had gotten her to relax. It was just a game after all.

She locked eyes with Malfoy as she grabbed a seat on an arm chair across from where he was sitting on a bean bag.

A large portion of students were in the circle but some had opted out and stood on the outskirts to watch what would happen.

Pansy took out her wand then, "Right, lets get this started!" With an elegant twirl of her wand a purple spark shot up in the air, hovering in the middle of the circle above everyone's heads. The spark burst like a tiny firework into smaller purple sparks and zoomed to hover over the heads of everyone making up the circle.

Ron looked up to the spark floating above him, "What the hell is this then?" He was five people to the right of Malfoy, still in front of Hermione enough that she could see him trying to poke at his spark.

"This is a custom Truth or Dare spell that the Slytherins designed. It detects when you're being asked a question or are being dared and compels you to do either." Pansy exclaimed as she took her seat in the circle.

Hermione was intrigue, "Compel?" She asked Pansy but t was Malfoy who spoke.

"That's putting it nicely, there's a reason Pansy said this game wasn't for everyone." Malfoy drawled, he looked unbothered by the thought of being forced to do something.

Hermione started to get nervous, "You can't just make someone do something they don't want to, that's barbaric!"

"Oh come off it Hermione!" Said Seamus holding a half empty bottle of Firewhisky "It's all just good fun with the snakes in'it?"

Seamus's lack of worry was inflections and the other students took from his cue looking excited for the game. Hermione didn't want to ruin the fun so she asked, "What are the rules?"

This time Pansy did answer, speaking loud enough for the whole group to hear, she conjured a wine bottle into the middle of the floor. "One person spins the bottle and whoever it lands on has to puck a truth or dare that's given by the spinner. Then once it's done the person who did the truth or dare gets to spin and on and on it goes. If you don't like the dare or truth you can ask for the other in exchange but then you have no choice and you have to do the second option. Am I missing anything?" Pansy asked, turning to Blaise at her side.

"The sparks will automatically stop when everyone has completed their truths or dares and it's agreed by everyone that the game is finished, only then can you leave the circle." Blaise said looking around, everyone nodded heir heads back in understanding.

"Then let's do this!" A loud shout from Zacharias Smith had people jeering and laughing ready to have fun.
