Truth or...Truth?

Prologue: Ron and Hermione are dating and are living together. Ron is working as a diviner and Hermione is an auror. The war with Voldemort caused Draco to defy his father and become a "good guy." Harry was the key auror in the fight and is now attempting to get over what happened. Ginny was a spy for Dumbledore.

The war with Voldemort was finally over and celebrations had ensued all over Europe. The wildest of which, seemed to be at Ron and Hermione's house. They had instigated a huge party for all the aurors involved in the defeat of the Dark Lord. They had a simple cottage far away from any human contact in a field, which was an optimal location for any loud groups of people rejoicing deep into the night. They had a sufficient guest list, but by two in the morning only three remained. Harry, Ginny, and Draco were sitting in a circle on Ron and Hermione's living room floor, all laughing hysterically.

"Hey guys, I got a great idea!" Ginny suddenly said before rummaging through her purse. She pulled out a glass bottle with clear liquid inside.

"That's not what I think it is," said Draco.

"Oh yes ... truth serum!" Ron and Hermione entered the room and squeezed into the circle. Hermione leaned up against Ron, his arm around her back. Ginny looked at them and smirked. "So what do you say guys? A little game of Truth or Dare without the dare would do us some good!" Everyone looked at each other before all eyes fell on Ron and Hermione.

"I don't know," Hermione said.

"Oh come on 'Mione it's just for fun. And besides we deserve to just fool around," Harry said, looking at Hermione with a pleading expression. Hermione felt bad for Harry. He had suffered the most in this whole thing with Voldemort, and she figured at this point, he should just get what he wants for a while.

"Alright then, Truth or Dare it is!"

"I'm going first since it's my serum. Okay ... Draco!" He looked up at her quizzically.

"Fine," he said unfazed. She handed him the bottle, and he took a sip, never taking his gaze from her.

"Out of all the girls in the room, who did you have a crush on during school?" Draco's eyes widened in panic, and he tried to keep his mouth shut, but it was impossible.

"Hermione," he said, half choked, causing Hermione to sit up violently.

"What about now?" Ginny questioned malevolently.

"You can't ask more than one- you!" Draco looked absolutely mortified. If he'd retained any dignity from answering the last question, it was obliterated from this one. He clapped his hands over his face and fell backwards. A very surprised Ginny reached into her pocket and removed her wand, taking the spell off of Draco. The others in the room sat ridged with shocked looks on their faces.

"Well, that was a little scary," said Ron.

"New rule from now on: only ask one question at a time." Hermione said between clenched teeth. Ginny nodded and handed the bottle to Draco, who sat up. He cleared his throat and looked around the room, examining his friends.

"Potter," Draco said quietly. Harry gulped and straightened. Draco threw the bottle to him, and he took a sip.

"Did you ever spy on me during school?" Harry looked over at Ron in panic but couldn't stop himself.

"In second year ... when we thought you were a snake charmer." Everyone in the room burst into laughter, including Harry.

"Well, Potter, I am a snake charmer. You didn't need to spy on me to find that out." The laughter soon died down and the charm was taken off of Harry.

"Ron," Harry said before passing him the bottle. He took a sip and awaited Harry's question.

"Do you love Hermione?" Her eyes widened, and she looked up at Ron.

"Of course." Ron looked at her for a moment before passing her the bottle. She took a swig of it, never taking her eyes from him.

"Will you marry me?" He took her hands in his and looked deep into her eyes.

"Of course," she said and leaned up to kiss him.

As Harry, Ginny and Draco were saying goodbye, Ginny pulled Ron out of earshot.

"Do you think they know that it was just water?" she said.

"Not a clue. Thanks Gin'!"
