'Truth or dare?' Draco asked Pansy.

Pansy sat back in her seat. 'Truth.'

Draco lent forwards and grabbed some veritaserum and poured it into a glass then handed it across the table to Pansy.

He thought for a minute about his truth. 'Funniest thing you've ever gotten away with?'

'That's so boring, Draco.' Rose yawned.

'Oh yeah? What would you say then, Rosie?' He mocked her.

'How about... if you could choose a teacher to kiss, who would you pick?'

Everyone sounded with 'oos' and Pansy hiccoughed.

She drank the drink. 'Snape.' And instantly regretted what she said afterwards, her face turning a deep shade of red.

Everyone roared with laughter, except Darah who was cringing back in her seat.

'Parkinson's got a thing for Sevvy!' Draco joked. 'You should go tell him, you know.' He laughed uncontrollably.

Pansy cringed in her seat, holding in her laughter at what she had said. 'This game is shit.'

Everyone laughed again.

'Ok, mine turn now.' She looked at everyone around the room. 'Dear Millie, you've been a little quiet. Truth or dare?'

Millicent shifted uncomfortably in her seat. 'Truth?' She cringed reluctantly.

'Who was the last person to see you naked?'

Draco gave her the veritaserum which she instantly drunk.

Everyone stared at Millicent, clearly loving the question and awaiting her answer.

'Goyle.' She said at last.

Everyone jumped around the room excitedly and clapped Goyle on the back who was sweating very nervously.

'I wasn't fully naked!' Millicent said defensively. 'I was in my underwear, I swear!'

'Yeah, yeah. You want another drink to check if that's true?' Draco laughed and Millicent swore at him.

'Gregggg.' The boys punched him on the back and knuckle rubbed his head.

'Ok! My turn.' Millicent calmed everyone down to silence. 'Darah again.'

'What!' She tried to complain but decided it was too much effort and gave in.

'Truth or dare, girly?'

'There's no way I'm doing one of those lethal truths, so dare.'

'Suit yourself. Dye your hair, right now.'

'Are you joking?' Darah exclaimed. Millicent shook her head. She sighed and put her cup down on the coffee table. 'Anyone good with a wand?'

'Pansy.' Someone shouted from the back, covered by a fake cough. To which Pansy replied with a nasty glare in that direction.

'I'll do it, sugar.' Rose smiled at her. 'You don't mind what I do to it, do you?'

'As long as I can change it back before I leave, then sure.

Rose lifted her wand above Darah's head and said, 'crinus muto.'

Everyone watched as the two front strands of her hair slowly began to turn a blonde colour.

'Cute.' Rose smiled. Darah now had two front strands of blonde hair whilst the rest of it remained the same colour as before.

'That's barely a change.' Some guy said at the back.

'Yeah but it's cute, right?' Rose shouted back defensively.

'I agree with Rosie. Cute.' Draco smiled at her.

Throughout the rest of the night everyone tried some kind of potion that was brought to the party. There were so many girls chasing around Draco, which he thoroughly enjoyed, because of the love potions.

Darah decided to take it easy and just chat with everyone. Most of the people at the party were Slytherins who were in their third, forth or fifth year which is why Darah didn't recognise most of them. She also gathered that some were Draco's family although she didn't know who, there weren't many people with the same platinum blonde hair as him.

'Lucie.' Draco had appeared hovering above Darah, who was sat on a sofa in a quiet room.

He hopped over and plonked himself next to her. Darah looked over at him and then instantly regretted it, forgetting he had no top on.

'So how'd you like the party?'

'Yeah, it's cool.'

'Just cool?' Draco looked at her with a hurt expression. 'It must be better than Potter's or Weasley's parties.'

'Well, when I've been to one of theirs I'll update you on that.'

Draco rapped his arm around the top of the sofa, above Darah's head.

'I don't see what you find so great about those Gryffindorks.' Draco went on.

Darah shrugged, not wanting to say anything incase it offended him.

'What have they ever done for you? You've helped them do all that stuff and what have they done for you in return?'

Darah looked at him. She thought about what he had said, she knew he was speaking the truth.

'Exactly. No answer. And that's because all they've done is put you in danger to help themselves.'

Darah stayed silent.

'Look. All I'm saying is Gryffindors are bad.' He said simply. 'What's better than this? A crazy party with the Slytherins or a death wish with the Gryffindorks?'

Darah looked at Draco again, his tie just hanging randomly from his neck. She thought about her adventures with Ron and Harry last year, she supposed she had volunteered to help them...
'I've been friends with you from day one. Can I not just be friends with you both?'

No.' Draco said simply.

Darah laughed. 'Oh come on Malfoy, lighten up.

Darah turned to her side, something caught her eye.

Snape was stood a couple of rooms away from her with Lucius Malfoy.
