"Ugh! Time passes so slowly when you're studying!" Ron exclaimed.

"What? It goes so fast for me-- there's so much to learn and so little time to do it in!"

"Shut up, Hermione. C'mon, let's take a break, I've had it up to here! Harry? What'dyou think?"

"Oh... yeah, let's take a break. We can study more after dinner," he added hastily, seeing Hermione's glare.

"Fine, we'll take a break. Want to help me knit?"

"No, we don't want to help you knit!" the boys yelled in unison.

"Okay, fine, you don't want to help the elves. Well, how about... Truth or Dare?"

"What?" Ron looked quizzically at Harry.

"Sorry, I don't know what she's talking about either."

"You've never played Truth or Dare? Harry, you grew up Muggle, surely you must have played it at a party or something..."

"Uh, I never went to too many parties."

"Oh. Well, it's very simple. You just have to choose Truth or Dare. If you pick Truth, you have to answer any question, and if it's Dare, you have to do something the other person chooses. Nothing illegal, of course." Hermione looked shocked at the very thought.

Ron groaned.

Hermione looked annnoyed. "Well, look, you guys don't want to study, and you didn't know what else you wanted to do, so I thought I'd make a suggestion, that's all!"

"Well, I suppose we could give it a try..." Ron said, seeing her eyes flash. "Why're you getting your wand out?"

"To perform a Truth Charm, of course. That way we know there's no lying."

"Great," said Harry. Hermione charmed them all, then sat back looking satistfied.

"Okay... I'll go first," she said. "Harry... Truth or Dare!"

"Um... Truth, I guess."

"Okay... Harry, do you have a crush on Cho Chang?"

"Uh... I dunno, maybe," was what Harry tried to say. But "Yes, I do" was what came out. He frowned. Stupid charm.

"Now you go," she told Harry, looking amused.

"Okay... Hermione, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," she replied promptly.

"Okay... Hermione, what's your deepest secret?"

She took a deep breath. "My deepest desire is dirty, dirty unprotected sex with Professor Snape, Professor Lockhart, and a goat. All at the same time." She blushed bright red and left the room.

"Wow... what kind of fic are we in, anyway?" asked a startled Harry.

"I dunno... but we should play this game with Hermione more often!" said Ron.
