"C'mon Harry, we will be late."
"Hermione, I don't want to go."
"You don't have a choice, McGonagall put us in charge of the house unity parties and I, for one, don't want to disappoint her."
"This was not what I was planning for when I agreed to come back and complete my schooling. I'm here to get my NEWTS and leave, not make friends."
"We are not doing it for us, but for McGonagall. She has a lot on her plate and if we can help her, we will. If this works, it will forever change the way Hogwarts operates. If we continue down the path we have been going, we will have a third wizarding war."
"I know Hermione, you've let me know. But a party, with the Slytherins playing truth or dare, they will murder us."
"Don't be stupid, it will be perfectly civil, I will make sure of that. It was fine with the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws."
"But these are Slytherins Hermione, remember what they did in the war. Especially Malfoy, I'm surprised they came back."
"This is exactly why we need to be encouraging towards them, they have courage coming back and they all deserve to complete their education. I don't want you forgetting what Malfoy did for us, if it wasn't for him, we'd be dead."
Harry knew that, and it had been plaguing his thoughts ever since the end of the war. He had never got to ask Malfoy why he had saved him, and constant thoughts of the blonde Slytherin was bothering him. He would not have minded if the thoughts were not so... happy. Every time he thought of the boy, butterflies littered his stomach and his heart would flutter; he hated Malfoy for that. Harry was aware and comfortable with his fluid sexuality; it was the reason he had not gotten back together with Ginny. He needed time to figure it all out, and naturally the girl with understanding. The more he thought about it, the more he believed he was gay. He would have been okay with it if it had not been for his feelings for girls in the past. He would have labelled himself as bisexual if it were not for the reaction he had to the thought of dating girls now. In the past, it was the only thing he wanted. However, now, dating a girl seemed unnatural, and it confused Harry. This was why he had settled on being label less, being called the chosen one and a hero were enough without adding another into the mix. Harry was okay with his feelings for boys and was open about them with his friends. However, now, he believed that he was crushing on Malfoy, and that was not pleasant news.
"Are you coming Harry?" Hermione asked, drawing Harry out of his thoughts of a certain Slytherin.
"Yeah, let's go."
The room of requirements had created a much smaller room for this meet up. Few Slytherins had returned to redo their seventh year and with many Gryffindors refused to sit with them, so the group of people was a lot smaller than when they had to meet up in other houses.
"I would like to thank you all for coming today, we know who is mature enough to put our differences aside," Hermione said, addressing the group. It was very obvious that she was in charge and no one protested.
"I'm sure you all know what we are doing. We will play a game of truth or dare to get to know each other better. As we are wizards..."
"Obviously," a Slytherin called out.
"As we are all wizards," Hermione continued patiently, "It will be a magically sealing game. Therefore, complete all the dares or else you will suffer quite a terrible injury, and the game will also force the truth out of you. As we cannot lie, I will make a few questions and dares off limits for the comfort of everyone."
A small blackboard appeared behind Hermione and she wrote some rules down.
"No questions about the war."
