TRIP TO PARADISE

Chapter 4: Drop dead gorgeous

10 minutes later, they reached the hotel. Everyone got down the bus. They were amazed. "The Wiz" was so different to Hogwarts. Of course it was smaller, but the decoration couldn't be more different. It was all shiny, painted in white. Most of the rooms had a great view of the beach.

As they got into the hotel, an assistant helped them to put their luggage in their rooms (she said a little spell and touched the suitcases with her wand. Seconds later, it was gone.), with the friends they had already chose to be with at Hogwarts.

"Where did Professor Mc Gonagall told us to be after the baggage stuff?"- Hermione asked to the now-bigger group: Ginny, Harry, Ron, Seamus, Parvati, Dean, Lavender and Neville.
"The Red Room or something"- said Lavender.
"Floor number 5"- Dean finished.

As they headed to the Red Room, Ginny said: "Oh I hope they give us some free time, this jeans really suck when you're under the sun"

Lavender, Harry and Seamus, who were wearing jeans too, agreed with Ginny.

When they finally got to the Red Room, Professor Sprout was about to start speaking.

"Welcome everyone, to Riverside Beach. Every teacher who has come, has made a real effort to suspend their daily work and come and watch after you, so make us proud.
Riverside's is a pretty safe place, and we trust you won't do anything that'll make Hogwarts name dirty. Anyway, we selected a group of rules that might come in handy.
You'll be free to go wherever you wish to, bet always remember you are a student of one of the best wizardry schools in the world.
You must not leave Riverside's by any means, you are only allowed to stay within Riverside's limits: the beach, downtown, the hotel.
And talking about the hotel, I must remind you girls cannot make midnight visits to the boys, and the same way goes to the boys.
Any student who breaks the rules will be punished according to their misbehavior, that may include being expelled from the school.
The tickets for the Blue Bay have been placed in your rooms, anyone who does not wish to attend, please tell any of the teachers. That night I want all of you to be in this same room at 2 AM., not a second later.
As for tonight, I want all of you to be here at 11 o'clock.
That's all. Any questions? No? OK, you may go now, enjoy yourselves, and remember, 11 PM here."
Everyone rushed to get out and change for their summer clothes, that announcement that April evening was right: the weather was HOT.

"OK guys"- said Hermione- see you here in 30 minutes, is that all right?
"OK, 12 o'clock sharp here"- Harry said, as both groups drifted apart. The girls, to the 6th floor, the boys to the 7th.

It was 11:50 when the boys hit the 5th floor. The girls hadn't arrived yet, so they still had time to walk around a little.

They walked for some minutes until they found a small terrace with a beautiful sight of the beach. There the boys noticed a group of guys playing what looked like quidditch, but the space between one team's hoops (2 for each team instead of 3) an the other's was much smaller than the normal quidditch field. He also noticed there was only 1 seeker, 1 keeper, 2 chasers and 1 beater. 10 players instead of 14.

"What's what they're playing? Is it some kind of small quidditch or what? Harry asked curiously.

"It's fast quidditch. Didn't you read about it on Quidditch through the ages? Well, as you see there are only 5 guys per team. The quaffle and the bludger are made of a softer material, so if anyone is hit, he won't make such a fuss about it. That makes the game even faster. Catching the snitch scores 200 points and each quaffle through any of the hoops scores 20. The clock runs for 30 minutes. When the time is over, the game is too. So the winner is the one who scores more points, doesn't matter if the snitch has been caught a single time or 30.
Riverside's is quite famous for the fast-quidditch. Nearly everyone here plays it really well."- Ron finished.

"Hey that guy's pretty good, look!"- Seamus said pointing at a blond haired guy. He was a chaser. Damn good chaser, he was.

Ron and Seamus had become part of Gryffindor's team now that the Weasley twins left. Ron was a keeper (very good one, indeed) and Seamus was a beater. The other beater was played 5th year's Brendan Hunt, and the chaser was a 4th year named Sam Raji. Gryffindor's team was really strong, currently 1st place on the houses competition.

"I'd love to play against them and show them what us Gryffindors are up to. "- Seamus said excitedly.

"Yeah, me too"- said Ron.
"What about going there later, when the girls get all tired. I'm sure that before going to have dinner at one of those cool places, they will want some time to get all sexy"- Seamus said.
"Yeah, great idea- Harry said- hey! It's almost 12:15, the girls must be there by now, better hurry!"

Just when they were arriving from the sun-lighted passageway, they saw some girls coming from the other side of the 5th floor.

"Hey, hotties approaching, hotties approaching"- said Dean.
"Look, Ron, see that girl?, the one opening the door at the 6th floor", she looks strangely like Hermione, doesn't she?- Harry asked Ron
"Yeah, she looks pretty much like her, but I can't picture her wearing a skirt and a halter."- Ron said, though he had pictured her looking like that lots of times.

"Hey Ron, that girl looks a lot like your sister!"- Neville said.
"Yeah, she does"-Ron said, giving her a curious look.
"Wait!, it's her!"- Ron said surprised
"Is that Parvati?, no way she can't be, yes, yes she is. God, she looks great!"- Seamus said astonished.

"They were shocked. Parvati, Lavender and Ginny looked like never before: they were all wearing short-shorts that matched her fitted T's. Their toenails were painted with bright colors. They looked awesome. However, Hermione was missing. And Ron noticed it rightaway.

"Guys, the girls told us they would be here at 12!"- Dean said jokingly in a high voice so the girls could hear it.
"Anyway, I don't think Parvati would bother if I kissed that hottie…"- Seamus said as he kissed her ,suddenly feeling terribly proud of her girlfriend.

"Ginny, you look awesome."- Harry said, not caring about a giggling Lavender and an impressed-Ron face.
"Thanks Harry."- Ginny said-( how's this for a change?)- BLUSHING
"By the way Harry, your shirt is pretty cool. Is it new?"- Ginny said to break the ice.
It was a red T with a small black dragon on it. It matched with black shorts and a new pair of new JK sandals (sort of Nike's in the wizard world. )
"Yeah, I bought it that day in Hogsmeade. Neville liked it and bought one too, right Neville?"-Harry asked, after watching a really bored Neville, so he joined their conversation.

Ron kept wandering around, looking for a sign of Hermione.
"Lavender, where's Hermione?"- Ron asked nervously
"I'll tell you if you tell me something. Just one little thing."- she said
"You got it."-Ron replied
"You like Hermione, don' t you?"- she said naughtily.
"You already know that."- Ron said (what else?)-BLUSHING
"Well, certainly you two are so obvious, but , I haven't heard it coming from your mouth, neither Hermione's."- Lavender said- "Look. I'll promise I'll help you out with her if you just tell me the truth. Do you like her or not?"- she said, looking so genuine Ron finally gave up.
"I like her."- he said dryly.
"You like her? That's all?. From the way you look at her, the way you get jealous anytime a guy tries to get her attention, I thought you were really head over feet"- she answered, as she was expecting him to answer way more deeply than he did.

"Okay, okay, I give up. I like her. A lot. That's what you wanted to hear?"- Ron said, fearing she would start cackling. Instead, she said: "And why don't you ask her out?"
"I don't know. I think I just fear she turns me down, dunno."- he finished. "Anyway, who am I? Ron Weasley. His nothing-more-than-good-friend. There are tons of guys after her. She could pick almost anyone she wanted."

"Well, there's always a risk. Seamus felt the same way about Parvati, and now look at them. (Seamus and Parvati were laughing with Harry, Ginny and Neville while they were holding each other.) Anyway Ron, believe me, you are very special to her. Who knows her better than Harry and you do?. Why don't you do this: take her to the Blue Bay. That's a start. Give it a shot, Weasley, don't be a chicken."- she said, playfully punching his ribs.

As they finished, the went to join the other guys. Just before they reached them, Lavender said:
"Ron, another thing. I suggest you to hurry with the Blue Bay thing. With Hermione looking like that, I mean, lots of boys will be drooling over her…"- she said that as she saw Hermione running from one side of the 5th floor.

"Hi guys, sorry. We can go now, it's just that I dropped my stupid money and then this guy… Well, let's go , shall we? Hermione said.

Ron was something near to an electric shock, and was as red as a beet.
"C'mon, let's go now"- she said as they started moving towards the door.
Hermione looked startling: she was wearing a pink halter top and a white mini skirt. Her hair was made into a messy ponytail, which looked pretty good. Ron (and the other guys) had never seen her looking so fine.
