Chapter 3 of 7
magalenaA game of 'truth or dare' ensues; is Severus up to the challenge? Adapted from a series of drabbles for the granger/snape100 challenge 'truth or dare.'
ReviewedDisclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, I make no money here, and it's all for fun.
Many thanks to my beta, Alley B, for all of her help.
“What do you mean, Luna?” Harry gasped, horrified.
“Oh, for goodness sake, Harry. Who did you think the teacher she had a crush on was? Flitwick, Hagrid...?”
“Well, no, but... Snape?”
“Who else?”
Draco draped his arm across Luna's shoulders and pulled her closer. “I think your work here is done, my little meddler. Whatever happens now is up to them,” he said, kissing her cheek.
“I'm a meddler? I'm not the one who dared her to kiss your dad!”
“Well, that came as a surprise; I was expecting her to pick Severus.”
“It just goes to show you never know what to expect where a witch is concerned,” drawled Zabini lazily. “They'll fool you every time. I was personally hoping she would pick Goyle, just to get back at you, but your dad was a good choice too. I don't know who was more surprised though: you, him or Snape.”
“Me neither, Father did look like he was enjoying himself,” mumbled Draco.
“Hermione did too,” added Luna, a little worried now. “Maybe that wasn't such a great idea. I thought she would end up with Severus, not Lucius, or both of them.”
Ron, who'd been listening on the sidelines, now interjected the voice of reason. “Hermione will be alright.”
“So you don't have a problem with your friend disappearing with Malfoy and Snape? Aren't you worried at all?” asked Blaise, puzzled by Weasley's calm response.
“Nothing will happen that she doesn't want; if anyone can handle two Dark wizards, it's her. If anything, I'd be worried about them if they do something to piss her off; she'll hex both of them without a second thought.”
“Ronald's right,” sighed Luna, relieved. “I'm sure Hermione can take care of herself.”
In a guest bedroom at Malfoy Manor, the witch in question was seated on the lap of the Malfoy patriarch. He had one hand buried in her hair as he held her head to deepen his kiss while the other hand worried at the buttons of her shirt. He got the top four undone, and his hand snaked inside to caress her.
“Umm...” she tried to pull away from Lucius' grip. “Ummm... Mr. Malfoy, wait.”
“Considering our current position, I think you can call me Lucius, darling.”
“Lucius, darling,” she repeated. “I think you must stop.”

I'm pretty sure they will be creating their own original smut in no time. Yay for a happy ending!
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Thanks for all the lovely comments, I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. :)
It's looking good for them ...
What?!?! A story where they talk to each other right off the bat? Good for them. Talk usually leads to action anyway with these two.
I also love a Lucius who is helpful in all the wrong ways. Yes, go after her Severus!
I love helpful Luna, smart Ron, and an upstairs with impending yumminess.
Whew! That was easy. ;)
She'd better not pick truth the rest of the night, lol!
And I enjoyed reading it. Every frisky ending - I like it.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Thanks so much, must have missed this review. But I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment. :)
So what follows that revelation?
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
You will soon see! ;D
Wow, she certainly became quite forward - and brazen in her remarks. With spunk like this, why did she have to have a 'push' from her friends? You'd think there'd be some shyness, otherwise all the 'assistance' seems trite. Like, she could have approached him on her own. Is she drunk?
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Well, at first she was a bit embarrassed by the way she'd acted at the party.(And she was tipsy there). And the first part(about his voice) just kind of got blurted out without her thinking about it. But also, since he came to "court" her, I think she she feels more comfortable knowing that he is interested in her as well, so she's speaking more freely now. (This is all my psycho-analyzing the situation after the fact, I really didn't think all this out as I was writing it. LOL! LOL!)

Oh,
okay that all makes sense.
Reaching the goal, are we? *grin* I can't wait anymore for it to happen. At least a kiss, please!
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
We are approaching the end of my little drabble series, the next and final chapter is in queue now. Glad you are enjoying it!

At last, they're together. It looks like they may skip the courtship, though. :P
Author's Response: Hmmm... that's entirely possible.
You have me hooked. Please update soon.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
So glad you are liking it, the final chapter is in queue. :)
At least they're communicating.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Yes, communication is good. ;)
Leave it to Hermione to decide to play nice at the last minute.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Yes, that's our Hermione! :D
This is getting better and better.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
*grins* they are so much fun to play with!
I could definately handle playing truth or dare with the Dynamic duo.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
It would be fun, wouldn't it?
Now she's let the cat out of the bag. Fantasising about him at Uni! LOL
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Yup, and seeking out beau's that reminded her of him, (she did this without even realizing it until it was pointed out to her).
Wow, great first chapter. I am reading everything that has been posted so far.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying it.
Ah, how sweet of him, Lucius is goign to help her win him. Severus won't know what hit him.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Yea, since he's realized he's not getting any action here, and he knows that Severus quite possibly has an interest, he wants to help his friend.
LOL Luna scheeming to push Hermione at Severus and Draco's attempt to do the same was cute. I loved Bliaze's comments best.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
I love Luna, she wants to help Hermione, although I'm not sure Hermione appreciates the effort! LOL
Oh, loved Severus' answer - so true. Was giggling when Hermione chose Lucius instead of plopping into Severus' lap.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying. And as for her choice of Lucius, she was a little put out with Draco's "help" (interference) and decided to rebel a bit. :)
LOL Severus attacked Lucius - HE likes her!! Whoot! I'm glad Lucius was able to calm him down to tell him what really happened.Figures Luna would not only out her, but tell him what her favorite flowers, candy and books are. Although any spell book would do. I really liked how she wouldn't open the door until he said please. But man, talk about opening her mouth and letting the flood gates - she blurted out every thing!
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
I know! She just couldn't help herself. :D
no wonder there were no warnings!! i thot it was going to be the usual threesome but you triumphed but something completely different. thanks so much for that and mucho smoochies
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
My characters highjacked the story, originally I also thought it was going to be a hot, smutty, PWP, threesome. But they took control and wouldn't shut up until I told the story their way!!!
arg. it feels likes u stop midsentence or thought. but i like it so i'll continue reading.
Response from magalena (Author of The Games People Play)
Only two sections left to go! :)
