/N: sorry for taking so long and I apologize for the short chapter.
Chapter 10
After lunch they walked around for an hour or so, looking at new shops and snacking on treats. They came back to school just as dinner started.
"You guys can go eat we'll be okay," said Hermione as Ron stoumach growled.
"Thanks 'mione" said Ron.
When the boys were in the hall, Hermione offered to help Pansy carry her bags.
"Hermione what really happened with you and Draco?"asked Pansy stopping and turning towards Hermione.
"Nothing Ron exaggerated a bit, I just fell," said Hermione uncomfortable to talk about Draco's slightly aggressive actions.
"So what were you and Blaise talking about?"asked Ginny, moving her eyes from Hermione to Pansy that was glowing uncontrollably.
"Oh he just asked me what I was doing for Christmas vacation. I told him I don't know and he invited me to his vacation house; where he goes snowboarding, you know the muggle sport. He and Draco go all the time and he wants me to come. Of course I'm not leaving you guys out, you can even bring Harry it'll be loads of fun."
"Great I get to avoid my mom. She knows I'm with Harry and she's going to give me the talk," said Ginny putting up air quotes.
"Well her talk's going to be a waste," said Hermione focusing on the conversation.
"Shut up," Ginny said playfully hitting Hermione. They laughed.
"So do you know if she's invited?"asked Hermione in a whisper even though Lavender was way ahead.
"Of course not he said he has to break it off with her for sneaking around and snogging Mark Devant," said Pansy.
"Huh, really who would cheat on Blaise's so sweet?" said Ginny covering her mouth.
"You know she cheats on everyone," said Hermione. "Dating is the only 'competitive' thing she does."
When they got back to the dorms they rushed to take a shower. Unfortunately Lavender got in there first. They sat on the beds talking for a while until there was a knock.
"Coming," Ginny pranced of the bed and skipped to the door. "Hey guys."
"Hey Potter said that Hermione knew where the room of requirements is, I don't know where it is, but he said he'd meet us there," said Blaise.
"Ok come on guys," Ginny left the door open and went back to her bed. They all pulled out sweats and sweaters as amore comfortable attire. Draco kept glancing at Hermione nervously.
Lavender took that moment to come out of the shower with her PJ bottoms on and a tank for a top. "Where are you guys going?" she asked.
"Um Lavender I need to talk to you," said Blaise.
Lavender looked up and then back at Pansy before leaving with Blaise.
"HAAA," Pansy rolled over laughing in her bed.
"Shh," Hermione hushed her. "We don't want Blaise to hear, plus we have to get in our pajamas so we can go." They got dressed in their PJs and sweaters and waited for Blaise.
Couple of minute's later Lavender slammed the door and approached the girls.
"You bitch…this is your fault," Lavender hissed at pansy.
Pansy jumped of the bed and walked right past Lavender. "Come on guys let's leave her to her weeping." Hermione did a couple of protective charms on their stuff, just in case. Then Ginny and Hermione turned to follow Pansy. They left Lavender in tears on her bed.
"Ok is everyone here?" Hermione asked looking over the group. "Good, be very quiet or our arses will be roasted by Filch."
They tip toed out of the common room into the hallway. Hermione lead them through secret passageways before she came to the room of requirements.
"Harry," Hermione whispered in the moonlit passage way.
"I'm right here get in, I saw you on the map," Harry said as he opened up a massive door for them. The room had huge red lounging couches. There was a coffee table in the center of the couches. The furniture was huddle up close to a huge fireplace blazing with flames filling the room with warmth and light.
"Nice Harry, all I need to do is a silencing charm and were good," Hermione said as she circled the room a couple of times taping her wand on the stone walls before walking back to the couches where everyone was seated. "We're good."
"This looks like a slumber party, everyone's wearing their PJs," said Ginny snuggling into Harry.
"Yeah, ok Hermione sit over there by Draco and Weasley so we can begin," Pansy paused with an evil grin "Has anyone ever played I never?".
Hermione groaned as she took a seat between Draco and Ron, today was not her day.
