I Fell Into Your Arms

Chapter 13: Truth or Dare (Magical Version)

Daphane bit her lip. "Ok fine, Im in too." She pulled out her wand and laid it on the table, her tip touching Hermiones.

One by one, Colin, Luna and Blaise had joined in. They all made eye contact and then said in unison the phrase that would begin the long game.

"I solemnly swear to answer the questions truthfully, listen carefully and to not decline any dares. I promise to stay in this room until everyone goes at least three times each." Out of everyones wand came a golden light.

When the light had disappeared, the scene around them changed. They were no longer in the tea shop, but in a fully white room. The table with their wands were still there in fromt of them.

"Where are we?" Luna asked.

"This is the Truth or Dare room. When a group of friends agree to play and chant the opening phrase together, the whole group is transported to the Purity Room. Its where we cant be judged by anyone." Blaise answered at once.

Hermione looked around interested. "Nice going Blaise!"

"Who wants to go first?" Blaise asked.

"I will." Hermione answered in a trembling voice.

"Ok Hermione, truth or dare?" Blaise asked

"Truth."

"Is it true that you have a crush on Dr. Swann?" Blaise smirked

"I do, he reminds me a bit of a prat we went to school with." Hermione answered.

"Does anyone object if I ask you to elaborate?" Blaise asked looking around the circle at Daphane, Colin, and Luna.

The trio shook their heads. "We wanna know who!"

"Whose the prat?"

Hermione blushed. "You cant ever tell him. He is your best friend, Draco Malfoy."

This caused everyones jaw to drop. Blaise was the first to recover. "I wont tell. I dont even know where Draco is right now."

"Ok Blaise your turn!" Luna said to her husband. "Truth or dare?" .

"Dare." Blaise smirked.

"I dare you to...kiss Colin!" Lunas eyes sparkled.

Colins eyes widened. "What?!"

"And...to be sexy when you kiss him honey." Luna giggled causing Hermione to look on in amusement.

Blaise shot Luna an exhaperated look, but batted his eyelashes all the same. He got up and sashayed over to Colin swaying his hips. "Hello handsome." He said in a throaty voice as he slowly bent down to kiss Colin full on the lips. Neither wanted to deepen the kiss, but both men knew to keep at it for 30 seconds.

When the pair surfaced, Colin looked a bit nauseated. He glanced worriedly at Daphane, but she was trying hard not to burst out laughing.

"Luna, its your turn honey." Blaise glared at her. "Truth or dare?"

Luna smirked, "dare my love." 

Blaise released a dark chuckle that sent shivers up everyones spine. "I dare you to flirt shamelessly with Hermione for 10 minutes."

Hermione gasped in surprise, knowing no one can ever decline a magical dare. If so, all of the participants would never leave until the dare is complete.

Luna shot Blaise a sweet, but fake smile. "Of course my love." She purred. Luna knew Blaise was getting her back, but she didnt care.

For the next 10 minutes, Luna whispered sweet nothings into Hermiones ear and even got a small baby blush.

"Ok Daphane, its your turn." Luna smiled. "Truth or dare?"

The game continued on. Some dares were epic to watch like Colin singing in bad Italian to Dahane or, Hermone making out with Colin turning ot into a full blown snog.

The truths were shocking, though not as shocking as Hermiones confession. Like Daphane enjoys playing a Muggle instrument called a gutiar. Or Blaise admitting his burning passion for knitting sweaters.

"Ok, did everyone go three times?" Blaise asked walking over to the table. He grasped his wand as his friends all did the same.

The group of five nodded as they too, clutched thier wands. All together, they chanted the exit phrase, "we have completed our game of truth or dare, return us where we started." As one, the group of friends lifted their wands as a silver flash of light came out.

Everyone blinked to find themselves back in the tea shop. "That was fun. Excuse me." Blaise quickly left the table.

"Are we bound by the rules not to tell anyone?" Daphane looked worried.

"No we're not bound Daphane, but I wont tell anyone anything." Hermione said quickly.

"Oh good."

With Blaise..

When Blaise got up from the table, he walked up to his coworker, Dr. Swann.

"So, what did she confess?" Draco murmered.

"She does have a crush on Dr. Swann, but also on the real you." Blaise smirked. "But you didnt hear it from me ok?"

"Afraid of the witch being angry?" Draco chuckled.

"Yes, remember that knuckle sandwhich she gave you?" Blaise smiled.

"Shut it." Drsco growled. "Ill see you tomorrow morning."

Blaise meanwhile returned to his friends. "So what did I miss?"

"Nothing." the group said in unison.

Hermione checked her watch. "Sorry, but I have to go. I promised Ginny I'd visit. See you later."

She sent everyone.a smile before returning to her cottage.

"Mistress Hermione, this letter was left for you." Angie said coming up to her. She snapped her fingers as a sealed envelope appeared in her hands.

"Thanks Angie. Why dont you go take a break Ill call you if I need anything." Hermione smiled.

"Of course." Angir disappeared.

Once Hermione was alone, she rolipped open the letter, not caring who it was from. She walked to her desk letter in hand as she began to read.

Dear Hermione,

   I hope this finds you well. I heard what that Weasel ape did to you and wanted you to know you deserve so much better than him. You are a bright minded witch with so much to offer. Word of mouth told me you were hired as a Healer. I hope you enjoy that field.
   Mostly I want to apologize, the way I treated you in school is unforgiveable, but I did it to appease my father. If I didnt, id be tourtered on several accounts. I never wanted to call you the 'M' word, but my father would check my memories, he forced me to be like him! I would have been had he not been thrown into Askaban. I have to live the rest of my life in guilt over the pain I caused the Light side. Im finding myself after years of being denied. I hope you can forgive me.

From,

Draco M.

Hermiones eyes bugged out at who the letter was from. "Interesting, I wonder how..Angie!"

The small elf appeared. "Yes Hermione?"

"How did you get this letter?"

"Master Sirius dropped it here whilist you were with your friends." Angie trembled.

"Theres no need to be afraid. Im not going to hurt you. Thank you." Hermione smiled.

Angie smiled before vanishing.

Hermione knew she had to talk to her dad about this.
