To Dare You

Chapter Ten

"Pansy, truth or dare?" Dean asked.

That day had gone by quickly, an average school day, no potions - thank Merlin. Harry found himself studying less than he hoped to, and Draco had found himself playing with Harry's hair and crushing on him far too much. Far too much could have been an understatement, at the least. He even found himself about to 'kiss' Harry, licking in ferret.

They were back in the room of requirement, and Draco was as human as ever.

"Hmm. Dare?" Pansy wasn't drunk. Yet.

"Okay, I dare you to... kiss 'mione!"

Hermione blushed, Ron turned red in anger, Pansy shrugged, Seamus and Dream laughed, Luna who had just arrived just sat, and the rest had no reaction whatsoever.

"Okay!" Pansy practically skipped to Hermione and planted a kiss on her lips, very quickly.

Hermione blushed as she spoke to Harry. "Harry, truth or dare?"

He thought about it way more than he should have and did have to. "Umm, dare." He added, "And you better do nothing involving me and Malfoy- I swea-"

"I dare you to hold hands with the ferret for ten minutes." She smiled evilly and shared a knowing look with Pansy, glaring at Ron right after as he stared daggers at her.

"Fuck." Harry entwined his fingers with Draco's slender fingers, which were surprisingly warm compared to the ferrets less-warm paws. Paws were still cuter. By far. "Ten minutes isn't long though."

Everyone looked satisfied, that is, until Harry asked, "Ginny, truth or dare?"

"Dare!" She exclaimed.

"I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven with Luna."

"Okay." She stood up and took Luna by her hand, walking to the closet that had just appeared, having Hermione lock and make sure it was. "See you in seven!" They both giggled.

* * *

"So, what's the plan?" Luna asked, leaning against Ginny in the closet the moment the door locked.

"Hermione is going to dare them to hold hands, and Pansy is going to get dared by Seamus to bind their hands together, permanently."

"Permanently?"

"Semi-permanent, two months." Ginny smirked, although Luna couldn't see in the darkness of the closet. "And no way to undo it. Other than waiting, of course."

* * *

"How was it?" Dean smirked.

"Fun," Luna said in a dreamy voice, turning to Hermione. "We talked about it." She said, smiling as Hermione nodded approvingly.

"About what?" Harry asked curiously.

"Nothing," Pansy laughed. "Ginny, your turn!" She quickly began to get excited, already filling her shot glass with the infamous firewhisky, ready to down.

"Okay!" Ginny squeaked. "Hermione, truth or dare?"

Hermione thought for a millisecond before choosing. "Truth."

"Do you... fancy anyone in this room?" She asked.

"Yeah," She blurted, having drunken veritaserum before. "Not saying who!" Ron and Pansy both blushed, both almost certain it was them, not noticing the other was blushing. "Malfoy, truth or d-"

"Dare." Draco smirked knowingly, also knowing very well it would involve the brunette. He smiled to himself.

"I dare you to hold hands with-"

Draco quickly entwined his fingers with Harry's, smirking more when Harry jumped at the sudden touch, still processing what the dare was moments before. "Okay." He interrupted.

"Not again!" Harry groaned. A couple of non-exciting games passed before it went back to Pansy.This can't be good. Harry thought, knowing it would sadly involve the blonde.

"Parkinson, I dare you to bind their hands together!" Seamus called, sounding drunk while holding Deans hand firmly.

Pansy took out her wand and pointed it at the pair.

"What?!" Both Draco and Harry shouted simultaneously. Harry tried pulling away, but his oblivious mind was too late. A pain shot up his arm, sending him shivering, and his hand burned where he was still holding Draco's hand. "What?" He tried pulling away, only to pull Draco's hand with it. He held up their conjoined hands.

"Pansy, what the fuck?" Draco shouted, standing up, sending Harry falling to the floor at the sudden motion, him falling on the brunette right after. He stood up, helping Harry up on accident. "Potter, lets go to Professor McGonagall to get this sorted," He ran out of the room, Harry practically getting dragged behind him.

"Malfoy, slow do-" Harry exclaimed as he tripped.

"Mr. Malfoy? Mr. Potter? What are you-" Minerva had literally bumped into Harry, and it turned out he tripped on her foot. She stared at their entwined fingers with a mixture of confusion and surprise.

Seeming as the blonde was much more out of breath then Harry, so he took it upon himself to do the explaining. "We, uh, were in the hallway and," He paused. "Pansy and Hermione hexed us."

"Mr. Potter, I don't think Ms. Granger would do such a thing?"

"Yeah, I know, but she did."

Draco nodded in agreement. "And," He took a deep breath. "We can't- pull our ha- hands aw- away!" He tried unclamping his hand for the chosen ones, which only resulted in Harry falling on top of him.

"Binding spell, Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Potter, there is no way to unbind this. Only way is to wait." She sighed, eyes drifting back to their held hands with a weird look. "Because you two cannot enter the others room, Albus and I could arrange a dorm for you." She smiled.

Harry grimaced at the thought of sharing a room with Draco.

Draco grimaced too, but the inside was happier than every could be.

"Okay, thanks professor..." Harry thanked in a questioning way. "Uh, what should we do now?"

"Just wait here, I'll be back," She told them, swiftly sweeping away, her cloak billowing behind her, giving her the drawling look of Professor Snape.
