"I'm sorry- what?" Dan laughs nervously. Malfoy chuckles.
"You see, I was trying to understand Muggles the other day," Draco spits the word "Muggles" as an insult. "And I watched a bunch of movies. One of which called Unfriended."
No one seems to know what Draco is talking about. "Well. You don't have any friends, so I don't think anyone will unfriend you, but the game could be fun, still." Draco is the only one laughing at his own joke.
"They played this game called Never Have I Ever," Draco continues. "Apparently, a lot of Muggles play it. I'll explain the rules." Phil wanted to insist on stopping the game, but he knew he couldn't.
"You raise your hand in the air, all five fingers up." He demonstrates. "I ask a question, Never have I ever eaten an egg, and if you have, you have to drop one finger." Everyone nods understandingly.
"We'll take turns. Dan, Phil, and I, I suppose?" No turning back now. Dan looks at Phil, his last hope, Phil looks at the other way.

"I know, it sounds really stupid, but it's fun!" Dan insists. I roll my eyes but hold all my fingers in the air.
"Never have I ever... lied to your best friend." Dan starts. Phil laughs ironically. "Yes Dan, such a fun game. Do Muggles actually play this?" Dan chuckles.
"Yes! I visited my Muggle aunt this vacation." Phil slowly brings his pink to the palm of his hand. Dan doesn't look too shocked. "My turn," Phil says, excited.
"Never have I ever...- Wait, what does the winner get?" Dan chuckles for the- lost count-iest time today.
"Winner gets nothing," he starts. "Loser, however-" Hermione bursts in and sees what the two friends are doing.
"Are you summoning the devil or what?" She looks at them, her face covered in fright. The boys laugh.
"Hermione, you're not stupid," Dan says. "Come join us! It's a fun game."

"Come on," Draco orders when the others hesitate on coming forward. Dan takes a step in Draco's direction, Phil following him from the other side, a remorseful look on his face. "That's right."
"Dan, you start." The brown-haired boy has fear in his eyes, not wanting to hurt anyone. He looks at his shuffling feet before he speaks.
"Never have I ever..." He looks up, right in Phil's blue pools of light, before looking away at Draco. Revenge? Guilt? "Please, this game is rather boring, don't you think?" he suddenly says with a playful undertone. Draco is perplexed, but fixes his expression and replaces it with eager.
"Then, what game do you want to play?" he smirks. For a moment, Dan pretends to think.
"Hmm," he says, consideration across his face. "I don't know, I think we're past the game scene, aren't we?"
"How could we possibly have fun then?" Draco notes.
"You find this fun? Bullying other people?" Dan says. Draco is supposed to be taken aback, but instead he grimaces as if taking it in consideration.
"Yeah, well," he starts. "It is fun, actually." Dan raises his brow.
"Never have I ever taken my own feelings out on someone else." Phil interrupts. Both Dan and Draco turn to him, in shock. Draco slowly raises his hand again, apparently in for the game. What the fuck are you doing?
He then drops a finger. "But so have you, Phil." Draco adds to his action. Dan tries to stop this all.
"Guys, what are we, twelve?" he tries.
"Twelve out of ten, yes." Draco immediately answers.
"Shut up, you're like ten." Phil responds. "As in the age this time."
Without admitting to have taken his feelings out on someone else, Phil gestures his hand to Malfoy. "Your turn."
Draco doesn't seem to think this time. "Never have I ever cheated on someone." Phil laughs ironically. "You're literally the only one who did that." he mentions. The blond boy pretends to suddenly realize the fact that he actually did cheat on someone. He laughs like a five year-old.
"It was fun to do, though." He makes eye contact with Daniel, who grids his teeth and reaches for his wand. Within seconds, he's in fighting position, his wand pointing at Draco.
"Wait, hold on," Draco says. "Are we really going to have a wand battle in the bathroom, together?" (A/N okay I'm actually laughing because of my own jokes I suck)
Phil can't help but laugh. "I'm sorry-" he says while covering his mouth. "I'm sorry, wow-"
"You wish." Dan says. The Slytherins laugh sarcastically.
"Woah- Howell, where did all the sudden confidence come from?" Malfoy says. This conversation has been way too childish.
"I didn't know it was possible but," Dan says on his turn. "You're literally too far up your own ass."
"At least I have sass-" Draco says, then face-palming at his own rhyme. He coughs. "Let's go!"
The entire Slytherin crew shuffles behind Draco, his pride being enough for the entire House. Dan sticks his wand back into his pocket, clearly upset.
