Everybody was enjoying themselves, as the music rolled and the drink never ended. The train was only about an hour from Hogsmeade Station, but the fun in the compartment was still climbing to its apex.

Emily, Ronnie, Sidney, and Rowan had all completed a truth or dare, but the spinner that Joel levitated spun in a wild frenzy and landed once again on Emily.

' Me again! C'mon! Joel, I'm sure you've rigged this thing just to annoy me.' Emily whined, as she reluctantly rose from her seat and faced her audience. 'I choose truth.' Emily declared to the compartment, locking eyes on Amber, silently pleading for an easy question.

But Amber wasn't focusing on Emily, instead she was chatting to Rowan about their upcoming year at Hogwarts, and trying to reason with the worry they both felt about starting their NEWT's.

'Awright, I've got one.' Ronnie announced to the cabin proudly, as she sauntered over to Emily's side with her hands behind her back. 'Snog, marry, avoid.' She whispered to everybody, her eyes glinting as she struggled to think of the contestants.

'Now we're talking Ronnie.' Tommy encouraged, dramatically puffing his chest out like a beautiful bird, obviously trying to showcase his good lucks.

' Right, we'll go with Jacob Hall, Jeremy Rosen and...' Ronnie trailed off, as her eyes lifted to the ceiling in utter concentration.

'Tom Riddle.' Amber stated, winking at Emily, as she knew that the other guys had hoped for one of their names to be called.

'Alright, pretty weak competition if you ask me, but sure you just go with those names then.' Tommy laughed, as he settled back down into his chair and tilted his head to whisper something to Sidney, who responded with a slight nod.

' Ummmm.... guys this is too hard, you've literally picked the three hottest guys in the year.' Emily complained, waving her arms above her head, as though that would help her make a decision. Tommy coughed inconspicuously at that comment, but everybody just ignored him.

For some reason, everybody waited with baited breath as they watched Emily struggle with her answer. This was only a stupid game, so why was everybody taking it so seriously?

'Avoid Jeremy cause he's so smart, and i'd just feel stupid whenever I'm around him... marry Jacob, and snog Tom.' Emily declared, proud that she'd finally made the difficult decision.

' Good choice.' Amber agreed as she watched Emily collapse back onto the seat and put her head on Amber's lap.

'Yeh, it was super difficult though, you know how much I like the bad kinds of boy, and there's just something about Tom that is just so hard to resist.' Emily sighed to Amber, as she looked up at the ceiling and started to decide who her rebound boy would be following her breakup from Kyle.

The arrow spun hectically round and round, as the magic propelled it faster and faster. Suddenly, it stopped. The feathered arrow pointed towards Amber.

'Now the fun begins boys.' Tommy explained devilishly, wringing his hands and relishing the sight of Amber's eyes widening slightly, at the dread of what he was going to make her do.

'What will it be Amber? Truth or dare?' Joel enquired, whilst lifting the liquor flask to his lips for what seemed like the hundredth time.

' Dare.' Amber sternly stated. She had more than enough nerve to fully welcome whatever it was Tommy had in store for her. However, at this answer, all the boys started smiling charmingly and began to huddle in the middle of the compartment.

Meanwhile, Amber turned to Emily and Ronnie, and gave them a look of utter despair, as she feared what kind of torture the boys were forming together.
