Accidentally in Love

Chapter 4- The Enchantment

"Hey Mione guess what!" Parvati exclaimed. "Draco, Blaise, Max, Justin, and Jack are all going on a cruise too! They said that all of their parents are friends and they got some free tickets and gave it to their kids. I hope it's the same one we're going on," she said dreamily.

Many hours later, we were all walking off the plane. Warm weather, palm trees and sunny skies welcomed us as we walked off.

"Hm, I wonder where the boys are," Padma wondered aloud.

"As long as I can't see them, then it's far enough away for me," I said icily.

"You should get to know them Mione, they're really nice!" Lavender piped in.

I just glared at her.

"Excuse me miss," I looked ahead at the man that was just saying this to Parvati. "You look lost, could I help point you in the right direction?" It was one of those security guards that helped with navigation around the airport.

"Uhhhh, Mione?" replied Parvati. She looked like a little kid, not sure of what to say in fear of saying the wrong thing.

"We need to get to get our bags and then go to Port Everglades. Could you show us where to catch a taxi or something?" I asked.

"Sure. Just go out those doors," he pointed. "And down the escalater. There is baggage claim and the to the right are a set of doors. Go out those and wait at the curb. Taxis drive by periodically."

"Okay, thanks." I turned to the girls. "Come on! The sooner we get our bags the sooner we get to go to the cruise ship!"

All of their faces lighted up and we all started heading towards Baggage Claim at a faster pace. It's not that I wasn't excited. Endless hours of reading on a cruise ship in the sun sounded like the best way to spend a vacation to me, but I could wait. The sooner we got on the cruise ship also ment endless hours of being on a boat in the middle of the sea with none other than Draco Malfoy.

I had forgotten exactly how many bags Lavender, Parvati, and Padma had brought until I saw the pile of all of our luggage. Ginny and I had each brought one large suitcase and a backpack. Parvati, Padma, and Lavender on the other hand had each brought one large suitcase, one medium sized suitcase, and a duffle bag.

"Uh you guys, you know we're only going to be gone for seven days right?" I asked eyeing the bags.

"I know! I wasn't sure if I brought enough, what with 4 bathing suits, somewhere around 15 different outfits, NOT TO MENTION that since we can't use magic, I had to replace all of my glamour spells with actual muggle make up! That alone took up so much space," Lavender rattled off. Padma and Parvati just stood there nodding and agreeing with what she said.

I just rolled my eyes and walked out the doors to catch a taxi. It seemed like as soon as I stopped at the curb a taxi screeched to a stop right in front of me. I just shrugged and waved the girls over.

"Put your bags into the trunk of the car and get in," I ordered.

"The car looks kind of small, are you sure it's going to fit all of us?" Ginny asked tenatively.

"Well, this one's a van. The normal taxis only seat 4 maximum but this one should fit all of us," I replied.

Once all of us were comfortably seated in the van I turned to the driver. "Port Everglades please."

He stepped on the pedal and we were jolted into the wave of cars speeding by.

About 10 minutes into the drive, the driver asked, "You girls going on a cruise?"

"Yeah!" piped up Ginny from the back.

"Which ship are you going on?" he asked. We had found out earlier that his name was Ryan.

I shuffled through a bunch of papers in my bag and found the stack with the cruise information in it. "The Enchantment," I read.

"I hear that is one of the best ships. It's supposedly really fancy," he said looking kind of envious. "Well here we are: Port Everglades. I'll get out and help you girls with your bags."

When all of our bags were unloaded and put in the designated area we walked into the building in which we would get to the ship through. Since we were still pretty early, there wasn't much of a line to get on the ship.

Thirty minutes later, after we had gone through security and what-not, we were walking onto the platform that connected the cruise ship to the building that we were just in.

All five of us girls just stopped and our jaws dropped once we got inside the ship. To put it basically, the ship was huge. We were on the bottom level, which was supposedly the least fancy. 'If this isn't fancy, then I wonder what is,' I thought.

"Welcome aboard The Enchantment," said a really hott guy that had just walked up to us. I could just hear the other girls swoon. "Here's a packet of everything you need to know such as a schedule of where we are going on this cruise and when we will get there, special events, and things like that." The speech sounded very rehearsed but he still made it sound interesting. "If you have any questions, don't hesitate to come and find me."

"I have a question!" Ginny said.

"Yes?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?" she just smiled widely.

He laughed. "No I don't."

Ginny smiled even wider. "Good to know."

Little did we know that the Slytherin Boys were standing not too far behind us watching and listen to the whole thing.

"There's no way that we can let this guy steal our girls," Blaise said.

"Since when did they become our girls?" Draco asked.

"You can't deny that they're really hott."

"But they're Gryffindors!" he whined.

"So? School hasn't started yet. They can be whoever we want them to be."

Draco just looked at the five girls swooning over that one guy. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he didn't want that guy to 'steal' them away. Not that he liked any of them of course, but what fun would it be if there wasn't someone to annoy during this whole trip?
