TRIP TO PARADISE

Chapter 1: Planning the trip and the bikini issue

It was an April night after dinner. Harry, Ron and Hermione were just entering their common room when they saw a big announcement. "Next weekend: Trip to Riverside Beach for all fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years" Just beneath the big golden letters it said: be sure to buy appropriate clothes this weekend at Hogsmeade, weather is really hot. Applies only to students with signed parents permission (Hogsmeade permission).

"Cool, isn't it?" - Harry said.

"Cool?"-said Ron opening his bright brown eyes. "I'm sure you two don't really know what Riverside Beach is"- he continued.

"Knock it off, Ron, tell us about it" - Hermione said, starting to get desperate.

"It is the coolest place for wizards in the Great Britain. Lots of sun, girls- Hermione's face turned almost green-, stores". "You 2 love Honeydukes, don't you? Well, forget about it. Riverside's Sweets are the ultimate in candies. Plus, something Hogsmeade doesn't have: The Blue Bay!"

"The Blue Bay? Harry, I think our best friend is going crazy"- she said as she placed her warm hand over Ron's forehead, looking for a sign of fever or something. -("Going crazy? that's how you're driving me Hermione…"- he thought)

"Ron! What are you thinking of?"- she said sweetly, with that voice Ron started to love since their 3rd year- "No- nothing. Where was I?"

"The Blue Bay. Remember? What's that? What do you there or why do you like it so much?"- Harry asked- sounding a bit more interested than moments before.
When Ron was about to answer, Seamus, Dean, Parvati and Lavender joined them.

"Hi you trio"- Seamus said, while holding the hand of his former girlfriend Parvati Patil.
"Hi you mushy couple and company"- Hermione replied. Parvati giggled.
Seamus continued- "We heard you talking 'bout the trip to the beach. Forget about Riverside's sweets, about the beach, the Blue Bay will rock.!"
"Great place. Did you know the Weird Sisters play there every Saturday? Yep, good show, good drinks, good food. Wicked atmosphere." -Deamus finished.

"Hey Herm, why don't we go shopping together? It'll be Lavender, you, and me. And Ginny can come with us too. She is already in 5th year, isn't she?"- Parvati said.
"Great. I really need to get some light clothes." -Hermione answered. -"Imagine me at the beach, wearing my black Hogwarts robes !"
Everybody laughed.
After joking a little more, they all went to bed.

Friday and its terribly dull Double Potions passed by really fast. Well, maybe not, but everyone was so excited with going shopping on Saturday that even ugly Snape couldn't ruin the good atmosphere that was going on in class.
***

It was Saturday in the morning. A bright sunny morning after a delicious breakfast. Most of the students were on its way to Hogsmeade. It was funny how the whole group of students was divided in boys and girls, like if they were going to the toilets or something.

Hermione, Parvati, Lavender and Ginny were the first to get into 'Limited witch', while Ron, Harry, Seamus, Dean and Neville, decided to hit Honeydukes first. By the time the girls reached the Swimwear section, the whole store was filled with Hogwarts girls. At first, Hermione seemed reluctant to wear a bikini, but Parvati found a way to convince her, so she tried a red one, and the other girls were so enthusiastic about it she bought it at last. ("Can't wait to see Ron's face when he sees Hermione wearing this bikini, she looks great!"-Lavender told Parvati. She agreed.) After some hours of looking for the best swimsuit, clothes, and everything they would need for their weekend at the beach, the girls left the store and looked for the nearest place to sit and take a look at what each one bought. They bought loads of stuff but of course the best were the swimsuits. Parvati and Lavender bought the same bikini, only that Patil - Seamus called her like that- bought a checked blue one and Lavender chose one that honoured her name.
Ginny chose a solid orange tankini with small ribbons on the bikini's sides. The color matched her bright red hair. She was just keeping it when Ron, Seamus and Dean arrived.
"What's that?"- he asked
"Guess"- she answered sarcastically.
And before she could keep it, Ron was already taking a look at it. "That's the way I like it 'sis- he said, "conservative"."
Ginny wasn't too pleased with that commentary.
"Actually, I find I quite sexy"- Dean said.
"Hey would you shut up!"- Ron said- "she is my sister , you know?"
Ginny was already blushing.

"What about you Patil?"- her boyfriend said.
"No way, it's gonna be a surprise baby."- she said
"OK, I like being surprised"- he said smiling
"But are you sure it's gonna be a good surprise?"- he followed.
"I guess so"- she replied.
Dean showed Lavender his new suit and Lavender showed hers.
Before someone asked her to show her suit, Hermione asked, trying to change the subject: "Where are Harry and Neville?"
"Oh", Seamus answered laughing- "he is helping Neville to choose his swimsuit, he says Harry's got a pretty good taste on clothing. He is so depressed, saying he is so fat he'll never get a girl… poor Harry, dealing with Neville."
"Yeah"- Hermione agreed

"Hey Herm"- Ron asked- would you lend me some sickles?, I´ll pay you back at the castle."
"Sure"- she said. "Look for my wallet in the blue bag."

"Hermione, are you sure this is your bag?, I mean you don't like wearing skirts, do you?"
Ron started looking for the wallet in a more desperate tone. Some stuff was already on the floor. Suddenly, he heard everyone laughing. Hermione's bikini top was hanging loosely around his neck, and her bikini bottom placed happily over his shoulder.
Ron was blushing terribly. His cheeks were the colour of Hermione's new bikini.

Seamus and Dean started catcalling while Lavender and Parvati giggled like crazy. Ginny didn't know if she should laugh or not.
"Accio swimsuit"- Hermione said, and the swimsuit flew back to her hands.

Harry and Neville were back. Everyone was still laughing.
"What's up?"- said Harry, after he saw Ron's ears still bright red.
"Oh nothing"- Hermione replied - "I'm going back to the castle. It's getting late. Are you coming girls?" -she asked.
("But of course". I can't miss a second of the chat between Ginny and Hermione- Parvati thought.)
So they were on its way to castle, closely followed by the boys, who were having their own private talk.

"Guys, are you finally telling me what was going on with the girls?"- Harry asked, starting to think it was him who they were laughing of.
"Later"- said Ron in a voice so quiet only Harry could hear it.
But it was going to be Dean who answered Harry's question. "You see"- he said- "Your friend got a little nervous when he saw Hermione´s skimpy bikini, didn't you Ronnie?"
"Oh shut up Dean"- he said half laughing, half getting angry , as they got into the Great Hall.
The girls had their talk, too.
"Hey Herm, did you see Ron's face when he saw your bikini?"- Lavender asked.
"Gosh, was he blushing!"- Ginny said laughing.
"I bet 5 galleons and let's see- said Parvati as she seeked in her purse for the money she had left-3 sickles that Ron asks you out for the Blue Bay night."
"Better keep your money Parvati, he's not going to do it. It was just a bad moment for both of us. Anyone would react like that."- said Hermione, but anyone, not even herself, believed what she had just said.

But Hermione's girlfriends had their point. Ron's behaviour was just getting more obvious everyday.
To say that he almost fainted when he saw Hermione's new pj's. A blue satin tank, matching short shorts and satin blue robe. The whole situation was hilarious. Ron was drinking pumpkin juice and nearly spilled it all. His jaw dropping and his crimson ear tips shining even brighter than the candles in the common room. Lavender and Parvati bought the same one, but Ron, Harry and even Dean noticed that the pj looked much hotter on Hermione.
