I walked back to the sofas with Draco's arm around me, my cheeks flushed after Zabini interrupted us. He gave me a chaste kiss before we parted and went back to our seats, the rest of the players already sitting in theirs. Obviously Parkinson was still sitting in Ron's lap, though. I guess that would be her spot for the remainder of the game.

As Draco sat down, he clapped his hands and spoke.

"Now then, Potter. Draw the card," he smirked, knowing that reading them always made Harry slightly flustered. Although they were being civil, Draco still liked to see Harry all bothered; that much hadn't changed.

"All right," Harry responded, reaching for a verity card and reading it, "Have you hooked up with anyone in this room besides your partner, and who?"

"Wait, just hooked up with or shagged?" Ginny asked.

"Well, the card just says hooked up with," Pansy clarified.

Draco looked like he was holding his breath and his face went pale, and so did Nott. Harry looked slightly panicked.

Harry's reaction I could understand; he doesn't like to talk about these things, and he doesn't exactly kiss and tell. Nott and Draco, though, always held no shame with their answers, so their reactions were quite... intriguing.

It was Draco's turn right off the bat, but he hesitated to answer, unlike his other turns. He looked at me, though I'm not sure why. He wasn't asking for permission to answer the question, so his reluctance to answer couldn't be because of my reaction to it. He just seemed... scared to respond.

Draco took a loss card.

Who in this room could he have hooked up with that made him so scared to respond? Parkinson, Greengrass and Davis were all the type of girls you would expect him to go for, so that couldn't be it. I didn't think he had snogged any of the Gryffindor girls unless Hermione or Ginny were hiding it from me.

Strange.

"Draco, mate, how bad could it be?" Zabini laughed.

"No discussion, Zabini," Harry muttered. "Rules of the game."

Harry was standing up for Draco? What the hell?

Zabini huffed and leaned back in his seat, but it was his turn to answer now.

"Well, I have no shame," he smirked.

"Yes, we know," Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Anyways, besides my partner, I've snogged Granger and Davis. I was pretty high when I was with Granger, though."

My head snapped to Hermione whose face was already bright red.

"Hermione!" Ginny exclaimed, hitting her thigh lightly as if to say 'I cant believe you never told me!'

Hermione said nothing, she just sunk into her seat.

Nott cleared his throat, signaling that it was his turn, but he still didn't look excited. I thought he would respond, but he took a loss card.

What the fuck?

Hermione quickly forgot about her embarrassment and gaped at him. He looked back at her, but he looked somewhat angry. I assumed she hadn't told him about Zabini, which would make sense of his anger. When she saw how he was looking at her, she quickly looked back down and messed with the hem of her dress.

Pansy, who was still in Ron's lap, spoke up.

"Besides my partner," she looked up at Ron and gave him a smile, "Malfoy and Zabini, but we were both high." Ron wasn't mad, as this was expected from Parkinson, but his grip on her thigh tightened. He knew he couldn't be mad at her, but it didn't stop him from feeling jealous.
