"You have that in America?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, we played it all the time at camp. Draco comes up with the best dares ever!" He answered, grinning as Draco blushed at his words.

"Oh really? Let's play then." Percy grinned wickedly at her words.

"Ok. First up: Draco. Truth or dare?" He asked, a manic glint in his eye that made Hermione suddenly feel very sorry for Draco.

"Dare." The blond haired boy answered immediately. Percy smirked.

"I dare you to lick the window." Hermione screwed her face up in disgust, glad that wasn't her. Draco only shrugged, before going over to the window. He was about to lick it when-

"The outside." Percy had the grin of the devil himself as Draco visibly shuddered.

Slowly, Draco pulled the window down. Hermione winced as the cold air from outside blew into the compartment. Craning his neck so he could reach the window with his tongue, Draco licked the window.

"Eww that's disgusting!" The words were out of Hermione's mouth before she knew it. Immediately she wanted to take her words back as both Percy and Draco grinned, the latter waggling his tongue at her. She gave both of them her best glare, but that just made them smile even more.

Hermione tried not to look at the the streak of clear glass amidst the grimy window and instead turned her attention back to Draco, who was looking at Percy with a wolfish smirk that reminded her of their previous years at Hogwarts.

"I'm so going to get you back for that mate. So, choose wisely: truth... or dare?"

A flash of fear went through Percy's eyes before they returned back to his normal, carefree look. "Hmmm, I'm not a sissy, so dare. Bring it on."

A pause in the conversation as Draco went silent, clearly thinking of the perfect dare. Hermoine could think of a few: daring him to not do his homework for a week, sticking his tongue out at the headmis- Hermione stopped there before she went any further and scalded herself for even thinking such inappropriate thoughts. You couldn't ask someone to do that!

"I dare you," Draco spoke up, "to make a glamour over yourself to make you look like Harry potter, take off your shirt, go into the nearest compartment full with girls and say you're single and ready to mingle."

Hermoine gasped, but Percy looked confused. "Harry Potter? Wasn't that the guy that killed the Mouldy Shorts dude?" When Hermoine and Draco both nodded, Percy grinned. "See? I am learning stuff. But I don't see how this is a good dare."

"Don't underestimate the power of the fangirls." Was the only thing Draco said, before asking Hermoine to put the glamour on Percy.

Once the spell was complete, Percy looked just like Harry, except slightly more- dare Hermoine say it- hot. He gave both her and Draco a two fingered salute before leaving the compartment.

Draco grinned. Slowly, he got into a praying position and started the mutter some words. To say Hermoine was confused was an understatement. What was he doing?

Suddenly a scream erupted from outside the compartment. A moment later, Percy burst into the compartment, covered in lipstick, his hair matted and wild; his make shift glasses askew.

He pointed an accusing finger at Draco "What. Did. You. Do?" Draco simply smirked.

"Oh nothing, just asked Mother for some help." Percy growled and sat down next to Draco, looking extremely unhappy. A moment passed in which Percy sulked and Draco smirked.

Finally, he managed to ask Draco the dreaded question. Of course Draco chose Dare. Hermoine felt a bit put out that Percy didn't chose her, but mostly it was just relief that she didn't have to do any crazy dares.

When Draco answered, Percy smiled: "I dare you to publicly announce that you think blood status is a load of hippocampi poop." Now it was Draco's turn to smirk.

"Done." He said. Standing up, he opened the door and pointed his wand under his chin, uttering a spell which would amplify his voice. "I, Draco Malfoy, declare that I think blood status is a load of hippocampi poop and if I ever hear someone calling a muggleborn a mudblood I will personally hex you. Good day."

To say Hermione was shocked at the last part was an understatement. Her mouth was practically on the floor when Draco came back into the compartment. He high-fived Percy as he sat down, then noticed Hermione's facial expression.

"What?" He asked.

Hermione spluttered out an answer. "You.. you said you would hex someone if they called someone like me a mudblood. Why? It wasn't part of the dare." Draco smiled back at her.

"Well, it was all perfectly true." Before Hermione could say something, Percy butted in with an exclamation of annoyance.

"Are you kidding me? I thought it was the perfect dare- by the way Hermione was talking earlier, it sounded like you believed in blood status."

"I used to, and I did some truly terrible things because of it, which I am deeply sorry for." Hermione knew this was directed at her. " But I've realised the truth, and the truth is that blood status is a whole load of- how did you put it Perce? Oh yes- hippocampi poop."

Hermione grinned, but that soon faded when Draco turned to her and uttered the dreaded question.

"Truth... or Dare?"

She pondered for a moment before hesitantly whispering a "Truth." Draco's eyebrows furrowed in thought and his eyes turned a cloudy grey before lighting up.

"Have you ever cheated on a test?" He asked slowly, a smirk on his face.

"What? How is that a good question? Why didn't you ask her about her deepest secret?" Percy huffed.

"Because this is her deepest secret, isn't it Hermione?" The way Draco pronounced her name- with emphasis on the 'o' bit- made her shiver. Reluctantly she answered the question, whispering a quiet...

"Yes."

Draco laughed. "The great Hermione Granger, the brightest witch of our age, has cheated on a test?

Hermione made a sound of annoyance and crossed her arms. Draco was still an infuriating ferret it seemed- even with his newfound beliefs.

But still, Hermione smiled at him. Maybe, just maybe, she and him could overcome their past rivalry and maybe- just maybe- be... friends?

If the character's personality don't seem quite right I apologize, I'm just trying to find out how I want them. If you find any major problems, COMMENT!!!

How do you like the story so far? What do you think is going to happen when they get to Hogwarts?
