Author's note: Written for Challenge #37 for slythindor100. We were given a choice of three movie quotes to use, and I selected I dare you, I fucking double dare you from Pulp Fiction.
Summary: The Gryffindors want to know if Malfoy is a real blond. Harry gets elected to find out.
It was Slytherin versus Ravenclaw, and high up in the stands overlooking the Quidditch pitch, Harry and several of his Gryffindor friends stood watching the contest and making snarky comments about particular players. Eventually, they got around to Malfoy.
"Nobody can be that blond," muttered Dean. "I'll bet his cuffs don't match his collar."
"You think the Ferret dyes his hair?" laughed Ron.
"It wouldn't surprise me," declared Seamus.
Harry laughed and remarked, "Somebody should check it out and report back to the rest of us."
"I dare you to do it, Harry," exclaimed Neville, warming to the subject. "Nobody could sneak in and out of the Slytherin showers as easily as you could!"
"What?!" cried Harry. "Forget it; someone else can do it."
"You aren't scared, are you, Harry?" jeered Seamus, elbowing him in the ribs.
Before Harry could reply, Ron chimed in, "I dare you, Harry. I fucking double dare you!"
"Ooooooh," the other boys all breathed in unison. Nobody turned down a double dare.
"Fine," seethed Harry. "But if I get caught, I'll make sure you're all in detention with me!"

"What's taking Harry so long?" wondered Dean.
"He probably waited until the other Slytherins cleared out," responded Seamus. "Malfoy is rumored to take notoriously long showers."
Ron snorted. "He probably spends half an hour on his girly hair."
"I hope Harry doesn't get caught," worried Neville.

Harry finally made his way beneath the stands to rejoin his friends. He looked flushed and flustered, and his hair was damp from the showers.
"Well?" demanded Ron.
"Malfoy is a natural blond," Harry announced to the disappointment of all.
"Bugger," said Seamus. "At least tell us he has some pimples or freckles or something."
"Just one small birthmark on the inside of his right thigh," mused Harry. Realizing suddenly that the others were all staring at him in varying degrees of horrified fascination, Harry added a meek, "Ooops?"
