Parvati, who was still rather red in the face, took a deep breath and gave a small smile as she looked at the one person who had yet to take part in the game.

"Ron…" drawled Parvati, "Truth or dare?"

The others turned to look at Ron, who was looking a little pink around the ears. He thought for a moment before mustering up a look of defiance and saying, "Dare!"

Parvati let out a small laugh. "Excellent." She said, her color returning to normal and a genuine grin on her face. "Ron Weasley, I dare you to…" she paused, looking absolutely wicked.

Everyone waited with baited breath for Parvati to continue. Finally she finished the challenge by saying, "I dare you to dress up in a sexy elf costume, find Draco Malfoy, and tell him you'll be at his service for as long as his pureblood heart desires."

Silence.

Then Ron exploded. "NO EFFING WAY!" he yelled, jumping up from his seat on the floor.

Hermione raised one finger, and, choking back laughter, announced, "The thing is Ron… You agreed to play, and now you have to do the dare, even if it means becoming your enemy's love slave."

With that everyone burst out laughing, except for Ron who remained rooted to the spot with his fists clenched.

"There's only one problem," he said a bit smugly. "I don't happen to own a – what did you call it? – Ah, yes. I DON'T HAVE A FLIPPING SEXY ELF COSTUME! HA! TAKE THAT YOU GITS!" he finished with a big smile.

"Oh, that won't be a problem," Neville piped up. "I have one in my trunk upstairs."

Everyone turned to stare at Neville, their mouths agape.

"What?!" he squeaked, turning a bright shade of red. Neville cleared his throat, then said defensively, "It's actually rather comfortable, believe it or not."

"Well then it's settled," said Parvati, clapping her hands together. She turned to Ron. "Okay Ron, go get dolled up for Draco!"

Ron trudged up the staircase to the boys' dormitories while a chorus of laughter followed him. When he returned a few minutes later he was quite a sight to behold. The costume was various shades of beige and olive green and camp complete with ears attached to a headband, which Ron was carrying in his hand. On his feet were slippers made to look like the feet of a house elf. A bit farther up a short tattered skirt encircled Ron's hips, and a lot of skin was left bare due to the tight bandeau top on Ron's chest.

"Okay guys," said Ron, looking at the group, whose truth or dare participants were so shocked they were unable to speak, "I put on the rest of this hideous monstrosity, but I am NOT putting on the ears!"

"Someone's a bit uncomfortable in their masculinity," snickered Lavender. Harry doubled over in laughter.

"Come one mate," said Harry, wiping tears from his eyes, "It's the only way to get the full effect!"

"Elf ears, elf ears, elf ears!" Dean and Seamus began chanting. Soon everyone joined them and Ron was left with no choice but to slap the headband over his fiery red hair.

"Yes!" Parvati punched the air with her fist. "Let's get this show on the road!"

Twenty minutes later, a shocked group of Gryffindor students returned to the Gryffindor common room and sat in a circle staring at one another.

"Um." said Hermione. It wasn't so a contemplation as it was a statement of her confusion.

Suddenly, Ron bolted out of the common room, yelling over his shoulder, "I need to find some magical cleaner right now! Broom closet, here I come!"

That helped to ease the tension, and everyone laughed a bit.

"Who would have thought Malfoy would actually kiss Ron?" asked Neville, frowning in confusion.

"Well, maybe Draco thinks Weasley is pretty hot," suggested Seamus, shrugging.

"And you also think he's hot?" inquired Parvati, still shocked at the outcome of her suggested dare.

"Nooo, I'm just saying… Hey, I am quite secure in my manhood, thanks very much," said Seamus.

"All right, all right… I think that's enough of this game for now, what do you say?" asked Harry, who was still a bit shaken from the sight of Draco Malfoy shoving his tongue down Ron's throat.

"I second that!" said Hermione, raising her hand. Everyone else nodded in agreement but said the game was fun and they should all play again sometime.

Everyone began to disperse to find something else to do when all of a sudden Dean said, "Hey guys… Isn't it bad that Ron's going to put magical cleaner in his MOUTH?!"

The group stopped and stared at each other in horror.

"Crap!" yelped Hermione. She turned and ran toward the portrait hole, the others at her heels. "Ron! Ron! Um, I know your mouth probably has lots of diseases in it right now, but – Ron!"
