Authors Note: Hi new readers, old readers (if any of you are still here). I'm really sorry I let this story die. I found a copy of it on my old computer and decided to give it another go. To be completely honest, I have no idea where to take this, so if anyone wants to get on board and maybe be a co-writer or offer some suggestions for the plot don't hesitate to send me a message and we'll talk!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot

"Girls!" Alicia shouted, bursting in to the dormitory and startling its occupants as the door slammed against the wall behind her.

"Bloody hell, Alicia!" Katie hissed as she cast a quick cleaning spell on Ginny's bed sheets where she had dropped the nail polish she was applying on the younger girl.

"Sorry" Alicia responded with a grin, closing the door behind her as she grabbed a pillow off her bed and threw it at the sleeping Angelina. "Rise and shine Angie! I've got big news" she laughed, unperturbed by the glare the sleepy girl was sending her way. "Where's Mione?" she asked, finally noticing the absence of their younger friend.

"Silencing charm" Ginny replied, nodding towards the closed curtains of Hermione's four poster bed. "She's been in there since she got back from her time with Malfoy. He must have done something to upset her."

"Well lucky for our little smarty-pants" Alicia said, as she disarmed the silencing charm on Hermione's bed and threw opened the curtains revealing the younger girl curled up in a ball asleep on top of the covers. "I've got something to cheer her up." Hermione got a much gentler wake-up than Angelina had as Alicia threw herself on the bed beside the younger girl and gently shook her awake before pulling her into a hug when she noticed Hermione's puffy red eyes. "Don't let him get to you Mione" she whispered as she wiped off the other girls face. Hermione smiled gratefully at Alicia as she leaned back and sat up properly on the bed.

"What's going on" she asked curiously as she stretched her arms above her head to relieve some of the stiffness in her body.

"Dunno" Angelina replied tying her now messy bed-hair back. "This crazy bint comes in here screaming and throwing pillows at people, but still hasn't told us what's happening."

"I was just getting to that!" Alicia protested, climbing off Hermione's bed and standing in the center of the room. "We have been cordially invited" she began, before pausing for dramatic effect "To play a rousing game of truth or dare with the Slytherin boys!"

"Brilliant!" Katie replied excitedly at the same time Hermione and Ginny both loudly shouted "No!"

"Oh come on girls! It'll be fun. Truth or dare with fit blokes. What's not to like about that?"

"Easy for you to say!" Ginny protested. "Your partner doesn't think you're a charity case."

"Or a suck up and a know it all" Hermione added huffing as she recalled her last failed interaction with Draco.

"Maybe Leesh has a point" Angelina said thoughtfully, crossing her long legs in front of her. "I mean, three months is a long time, wouldn't it be much better if we at least tried to make this as easy as possible. If they're extending an olive branch by inviting us, then I say we take it."

"Seconded!" exclaimed Katie, bouncing up from her bed, already thinking of all the intrusive questions and dares she could give Marcus.

"Thirded!" replied Alicia with a grin, as she dragged Ginny off the bed and went to work on getting Hermione up. "Come on kids! Listen to your elders!"

" And besides" added Angelina, standing up as well, "you know we would never let Draco or Blaise do anything to either of you while we were there."

"Promise?" asked Hermione as she ran a hand through her bushy hair and tucked it behind her ear.

"Of course!" Katie replied with a grin, slinging her arm over the younger girl's shoulder as she led her out of the room with Angelina, Alicia and Ginny following close behind them. Before they knew it, the girls were knocking on the door of the Slytherin common room where Terrence had told Alicia to meet them. The door slowly swung open, and the girls were faced with a grinning Adrian Pucey.

"Well" he began, already turning up the charm, "Isn't it a treat to have so many beautiful women in our common room at once."

"Save it, Romeo" Angelina responded with a snort as she pushed a giggling Katie, Hermione, and Alicia ahead of her into the room. Ginny, who was trailing behind Angelina was about to follow the other girls when Adrian placed a hand on her arm and held her back for a second.

"Blaise told us what happened. I know he must have said some things to offend you, but he really means well. Try to give him a second chance darling. He won't admit it, but we can tell he feels awful about how things went down." Ginny looked into Adrian's eyes, and couldn't find any signs that he was messing with her, so she sighed and crossed her arms.

"Fine" she huffed. "One more chance."

"Atta girl!" Adrian replied with a grin steering her over to where the others were already seated in a circle on the floor of the empty common room.

"Where is everyone?" Angelina asked, turning to survey the empty room.

"Banished" Terrence replied with a grin, scooting over so that Ginny could sit between him and Draco.

"But why would they agree to that?" Hermione asked, doubtful that Slytherins could be so compliant.

"Perks of being quidditch team captain", Marcus said, glaring at a giggling Katie.

"You're not still mad are you Marcus?" she asked laughing harder as his glare only intensified.

"Can we get back on track?" Blaise asked as he pulled a box of chocolate frogs off the couch and passed it down to Alicia who was seated beside him.

"Of course" said Adrian, pushing Terrence over so he could reach behind him to grab an empty firewhisky bottle. "I don't think everybody knows the rules since it's a muggle game, so why don't you go ahead and explain them Hermione?" Adrian asked smiling encouragingly at the younger girl.

"S-sure" Hermione stuttered aware that all eyes, including Draco's, were suddenly on her. "Basically, when it's your turn you spin the bottle so it lands on someone and offer them the choice of truth or dare. If they pick truth, they have to honestly answer whatever question you ask, and if they pick dare they have to do whatever you challenge them to do. If they refuse the dare, then they have the option of taking a second dare which is usually worse than the first"

"How do muggles make sure that people answer honestly?" Blaise asked interested as he leaned slightly forward.

"I guess you can't be 100 percent sure." Hermione replied after thinking it over. "You just have to give people the benefit of the doubt.

"Lucky for us, we don't have to play by those rules" Terrence said with a grin as he pulled a bottle out of his robes and placed it in the center of the circle beside the firewhisky bottle.

"Is that veritaserum?" Katie asked excitedly as Angelina grabbed and unscrewed the bottle as the two girls peered inside.

"Of course it is" Draco replied rolling his eyes. "How else could we make sure everyone was being honest?"

"Enough talk" barked Marcus, taking the bottle back from Angelina and placing it back in the center. "Are you lot going to babble all day or are we ever actually going to play?"

"Patience is a virtue, Flint", Terrence said as he grabbed the empty bottle. "I'll spin first". After what felt like an eternity of spinning, the bottle finally slowed down and landed on Draco. "Truth or dare Malfoy?"

"Truth. I'm not letting a prat like you make me embarrass myself" Draco responded smugly reaching for the veritaserum.

"Drink up!" said Alicia with a laugh as Draco took a large sip of the potion. Terrence looked at his younger friend before his eyes slowly wandered to the bushy haired witch sitting across the circle. He mentally cheered in anticipation before turning back to his friend with a wolfish smile.

"Malfoy, who do you think is the most brilliant student in your year?" Draco's face immediately turned bright red in embarrassment, as he knew the potion made would make him unable to stop himself from responding honestly.

"Granger of course" he hissed out, avoiding eye contact with Hermione who's face had turned its own shade of embarrassed red as the others in the circle whistled and cooed in response to Draco's response. "It's my turn now" he said quickly spinning the bottle, eager to get the attention off him. "Bell, truth or dare?"

"Dare!" replied Katie rubbing her hands together excitedly as the other ooh'd and laughed at her bravery.

"Snog Terrence" Malfoy said smugly to the shocked girl ignoring the simultaneously outraged "What?" from Katie, Alicia, and surprisingly Marcus. "You heard me. Snog Terrence. Does anyone have a problem with that?" Draco watched as Alicia sat back a smattering of red dusting her cheeks at being caught protesting. Marcus on the other hand, gave Draco a glare that promised retribution before turning back to look at Katie who crawled forward to meet Terrence halfway. The group watched with baited breath as Katie leaned forward and Terrence pushed a strand of hair behind her ear before cupping the side of her face, the air in the room suddenly feeling much heavier. The two had their eyes closed with only a breath between them before promptly springing apart as the common room door swung open and Montague and Warrington walked in.

"Well, well", said Warrington, walking over to where the group was sitting on the floor. "What do we have here?"

"Nothing" replied Flint gruffly, though he looked slightly relieved at the interruption.

"That's not what it looked like" said Montague, leering at the Gryffindor girls. "Johnson, you lot are having an orgy and you didn't invite me? I'm hurt."

"First off, it wasn't an orgy you daft prat. And second, even if it was what makes you think I'd want you there?" Angelina challenged raising an eyebrow at the muscular Slytherin in front of her before crossing her arms.

"Funny, it seems like that's exactly what you were looking for this morning" Montague said smirking as Angelina spluttered when the rest of the group turned to her in shock.

"Alright" interjected Adrian, feeling slightly guilty that he was the one who suggested the dare to Angelina earlier. "I think it's about time we call it a day."

"Good idea" said Blaise standing up and grabbing the firewhisky bottle and the veritaserum. As the rest of the group got up, Katie couldn't help but notice that Alicia had a strange expression on her face.

"Are you okay Leesh?" she asked walking towards the other girl.

"M'fine", Alicia responded curtly as she brushed past the other girl and led her housemates out the door of the Slytherin common room. As Katie followed behind them she couldn't help but notice the sinking feeling in her stomach as she tried to figure out what it was she had done wrong.
