~*~The Rules of the Game~*~
Oh good God! I'm going to die! I'm going to be hexed to hell! I'm going to be in deep shit with Ron! I'm going to be the laughing stock of the party, even though they are drunk! I'm going to be ruined! I'm going to lose her! I'm HYPERVENTILATING!!!
"Harry, are you okay? You're breathing really quickly," Hermione looked at me with concern clearly evident in her eyes.
"I…erm…I'm fine. It's all right. Erm…I really don't think you want to play this game. I've watched it played a few times before, and erm…I really don't think you'd be very happy with what could happen."
"What could be so bad about it? It's a mere game of truth or dare. It's not that bad. And if you're my partner we'll get through it alright. It can't be that bad."
"Erm…`Mione, have you actually ever played White Barn Truth or Dare?"
"Well, no, but I'm willing to learn. Why are you so afraid Harry? It's not like anything'll matter in the morning. Now, come on, use that Gryffindor bravery I know is in you and play with me."
I looked at her funny. I must have looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I could not believe that Hermione, my dear, sweet, innocent `Mione would jump blindly into a game like this.
All the more fun for you.
Shut up, I am not a prick thank you very much!
Oh, but you are. You're a big, fat, scared, walking WANK!
"Fine, we'll play but don't say I didn't warn you."
"Fine," `Mione looped her arm through mine and we went to take a seat on one of the love-seats that the boys had moved in to a circle for the game.
"Welcome everyone," slurred Alex, "to another wonderful addition of Alex's White Barn Truth or Dare!"
The room quieted as Alex launched into a narrative about how to play the game.
"White Barn Truth or Dare consists of the following, 1) It consists solely of Dares, and there are absolutely NO truths! 2) you must have a partner, 3) you can either do the Dare or suffer the CONSEQUENCES, which I might add are not pretty!, 4) once you're in the circle you can't leave until your dare is over and you Dare another pair, and 5) ALL dares are sexually oriented! Enjoy!!!"
I felt `Mione tense next to me.
Oh, hell, what am I doing here?!
Playing a game, dolt!
(A/N: Sorry it took so long. I've been so bust the past few days, with getting ready to head back to school and what not. I'll try and write more tonight, if I can. Ick, it's back to school, back to rehearsal, back to work, back to the hell I call my life… Oh well, I have HP and Ewan to help me through it all. Sad, no? Well, I'm off, gotta go practise the flute, saw my orchestra conductor yesterday, think of a Satanic Santa Clause, and well, I better practise. Toodles!)
