Later that night, Ginny and Hermione were sitting on the couch in the common room, while Ron and Harry played chess, after Harry got bored of chess they decided to play a group game.
"We could play charades" suggested Ginny.
"No, that's to childish, how about musical chairs!" suggested Ron, after everyone gave him a weird look Harry suggested Truth Or Dare.
"No, I have an even better idea, lets play truth or dare!"
"What's that?" asked Ron and Ginny together.
"I don't know Harry, do you think they could handle it?" Hermione said mocking Rona and Ginny.
"Yeah I dunno, it could get pretty intense."
"Tell me the rules, and you'll see, I'll be able to handle it!" Ginny said anxiously.
"Ok, fine I'll start, just watch and learn! I'll pick Hermione since you're the only other person who knows how to play. Truth or dare?"
"Hmm…truth I guess."
"Ok, we'll start simple, have you ever read a comic book in your life?"
"Yes, when I was 7,"
Harry, Ginny, and Ron all burst into laughter. Ginny was getting some pretty weird looks because she was rolling back and forth on the floor.
"Guys, it's really not that funny!"
"Yeah it really is, what comic book?" asked Ron.
"Umm.. I believe it was a Sailor Moon comic,"
They laughed even louder at that response than they did to the first one.
"Ok, Ok now it's my turn, I'll pick Ginny. Truth or Dare?" Hermione said once they had calmed down.
"Dare."
"Ok, I'll start out slow like Harry did. I dare you to run up and down the hall screaming 'I LOVE HARRY JAMES POTTER'"
"That's an easy one," Ginny got up and walked through the door, followed by the others, "I LOVE HARRY JAMES POTTER," she said running one way down the hall "I LOVE HARRY JAMES POTTER" she said while running the other way.
Everybody in the hall were certainly surprised, Harry stood behind everyone and turned extremely red and soon became very interested in his feet..
"Ok, so it's my turn right?"
"Yep" replied Hermione.
"Ron, truth or dare?"
"Truth"
"Why are you so happy at breakfast this morning?"
"Ok, Dare,"
"Nope you picked truth, answer the question,"
"Because I," he swallowed hard, "have realized something that makes me extremely happy, but nervous at the same time, is it such a crime to be happy?"
"In your case yes! And that's not an answer to the question!" screamed Ginny.
"Yeah it is!"
"Harry, truth or dare?"
"Truth"
"Ok, honestly how do you feel about Ginny?"
I Ginny looked worried but anxious at the same time. They all anticipated the answer.
"That's a no brainer, I love Ginny" Ginny took a deep breath and then attacked him with kisses.
'I wonder would Hermione react the same way Ginny just did if I told her how I actually felt. I know I have to tell her eventually, I just don't know if she's ready for that step.' Ron thought to himself.
When Ginny had finished and finally gotten off of Harry, it was His turn.
"Ron truth or dare?"
"Truth,"
"Truth eh? Truthfully, how do you feel about Hermione?"
Hermione's heart started pounding, her knees became weak, and her palms were sweaty. 'Why did Harry ask him that, obviously he doesn't feel the same way that I do, why is Ron so nervous, he's probably just surprised at the question' Hermione thought
"Hermione.." he shot Harry an evil look, then flicked his eyes over towards Hermione. "..She's my best friend"
"But do you have any other feelings for her?"
He looked over at Harry and said, "Nope, just friendship!" then looked at the ground in front of him.
In the corner of Ginny's eye she saw Hermione's tear drip down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away, "I'm really tired, I think I'm gunna go to bed." she said so fast either of them hardly understood it, she was gone in the blink of an eye.
"Hermione wait!" Ron yelled after her.
"Nice going Ron" said Ginny.
"What It's not my fault, you knew I didn't want to tell her, we all know she doesn't feel the same way." Ron wined.
"Ron, open your eyes, how much more proof do you need?" Ginny asked, then upstairs after Hermione.
When Ginny entered the room she saw Lavender and Pavarti looking at each other worriedly.
"Ginny what happened?"
"Ron," was all she need to say.
"Oh, we'll just leave so you guys can talk." said Lavender softly.
"Thanks," she watched the girls leave, "Hermione? I'm so sorry, are you ok?"
Hermione didn't respond. She just buried her head farther into her pillow.
"Hermione, everything's going to be ok, honest."
"How do you know that Gin?" she said into her pillow.
"Just trust me everything will be fine in the morning."
"Fine," Hermione knew that Ginny was stubborn and wouldn't leave unless she said that everything's fine, even thought she didn't feel it.
"Ok, I'm exhausted, so I'm going to bed, ok?"
"Me too, thanks Gin night," as soon as Ginny had left the room Hermione rolled over and closed her curtains, she didn't even both to get changed into a pajamas, she just rolled over and softly cried herself to sleep.
Ok so that was the second chapter…tell me what you think so far, please!
Sarah!
