Twisted (Year 2)

Veritaserum

~(Y/N) POV~

At dinner, Goyle told everyone about our plan to meet up. Now, I'm just waiting in my dormitory for people to show.

Draco lets himself in. 

"It's a shame we aren't allowed downstairs. I can hear the music from here." He sits down at my table.

"I know. Flint says the parties are legendary." I get off my bed and sit next to him. 

"In a few years we'll be able to." He says.

"You took out your hair gel out before entering my dorm. Good move." I giggle.

"Very funny."

I roll my eyes.

"Hey, has your mother owled you recently?" Draco asks.

"No. Not recently. Why?" I respond.

"My father owled me the last night. Our parents don't want us home for Christmas this year." 

"What?" I say in disbelief. 

Of course, I'd love to stay at Hogwarts, but I couldn't imagine my parents not wanting me to attend the ball. Maxx, Elijah, Jazmine, and I are like shiny trophies they love to show off. Maxx before he supposedly passed away. I wonder why we weren't wanted there?

"They don't want their equals at work to hear about our loss to Gryffindor. To Potter. They're ashamed." Draco shrugs. "It's a stupid punishment."

"At least we don't have to go home," I say. "And Elijah won't be at Hogwarts either."

"Yeah. But it's still a big deal. We need to try harder. I feel like we aren't trying enough."

"You can't seriously mean that, Draco. We're both trying so hard. It's already exhausting, and I think our reputation is just fine." I rest my head on my hand.

"It's not good enough for them." He explains. 

"Then fuck them."

"You're insane." He playfully rolls his eyes. 

"I'm gonna take that as a compliment." I smile. 

My attention gets pulled from Draco when I hear a knock at the door. 

"Come in. It's unlocked." I yell from my seat.

Blaise, Caroline, and Adrian enter my room. They take seats around the table. Lorenzo, Crabbe, and Goyle show shortly after.

"I might have stolen something from Professor Snape's potion cabinet." Blaise raises his voice over the chatter. "Veritaserum."

Veritaserum is a truth serum. It makes you a tad bit loopy as well.

"Why on earth would you steal that?" Caroline smacks his shoulder. "He's gonna know it's missing."

"Hard-core truth or dare." Blaise grins.

"That's not such a good idea." I tug on the end of my skirt. 

"Nonsense, it'll be fun. It takes away the easier option. Truth is just as bad as dare." Blaise takes a small sip and hands it to Draco.

Draco raises it to his mouth and then passes it to me. 

'This isn't gonna end well.' I think to myself and drink some.

The rest of the circle takes the serum, and we start the game.

"Zambini. Truth or Dare?" Adrian leans back in his chair.

"Dare." Blaise answers quickly.

"I dare you to kiss White." Adrian chuckles.

"Pervert." Caroline's cheeks glow red.
