After finishing three subjects that day all the students were in the great hall, waiting to eat lunch, but first, the headmaster had an announcement to make. " Attention students as you allknow this weekend will be Hogsmead weekend so please, have all your permissions slips ready, that is all.", said Dumbledore. The students were finally ready to eat.
While eating, the five Gryffindor girls were talking about the trip to Hogsmead. Noticing, the eyes of the many males, and envious females on the five of them, Alicia asked, "Looks like we're going to be asked out quite a few times, will any of you guys accept a date to go to Hogsmeade?" "I'm not, we've only just broken up with our boyfriends, besides, I want some time without men.", said Angelina. " Yeah, that's the same thing that I was thinking", said Katie. " Besides, I think it would be better to go without them cause we could do the things that we want do to, and go to the places we want to go, without worrying about male interference.", said Hermione. "I'm quite sick of the male population right now myself, said Ginny. " Dito, I feel the same way all of you do, so will you four be my date to Hogsmead then?" asked Alicia. All the girls nodded and laughed, and decided that they would have much more fun beingtogether than being on dates.
Meanwhile at the Slytherin table, the boys were staring at the five Gryffindor females who gave them such a shock earlier that day. " You're staring at Granger again Draco.", said Blaise. Then Adrian, Marcus, and Terrence, looked from Draco to Hermione. " It's no wonder you keep staring at her, she looks hot!", said Flint. " I know she does!" sighed Draco. " Blaise what are you staring at?" asked Adrian. " Oh me? Um nothing, nothing at all Pucey", said Blaise. Then the four boys turned to see what was holding Blaise's hazel eyes captive. " Oh so you have the thing for the youngest Weasley eh?", questioned Higgs. " Can you blame him, she's fine!" said Pucey. Then it was the seventh year boys' turn to stare at the new found objects of their affections. " Pucey stop staring at Angelina!" , said Flint. " You should talk Flint, you keep staring at Bell.", laughed Higgs. " shut up you filthy hypocrite, you're the one's who's been drooling over Alicia.", spat Adrian. " I know, I know, but can you blame me, she has such a beautiful face, and her ch….". " Chest! We know Higgs, you've been staring at them, and talking about them for over an hour now!", spat Blaise, as he cut Higgs off from finishing his sentence. " Do you think there's a glimmer of a chance they'll go to Hogsmead with us?" asked Blaise. Then all five boys looked at all five girls, and they all locked eyes, however soon after that, Katie, Angelina, Alicia,Hermione, and Ginny just gave them death glares. " I will take that as a no," sighed Adrian, noticing the daggers the girls had just shot at them. " They've got to be the five hottest girls in this school", stated Flint. " Yeah the five hottest girls, and the five of us are on their most hated enemy list!"shrugged Higgs. " What are we going to do, after the way we've treated them, they won't even give us the time of day!" said Draco. " I don't know", the four boys said in unison.
Adrian kept his eyes on Angelina whileshe wasn't looking. " At least she's seated far away from Weasel", he thought to himself. Angelina was on the opposite end of the table purposely avoiding Fred. Then Adrian heard Fred yell from across the room, " Hey Angelina, want to be my date for Hosgsmead weekend?" Suddenly he frowned, until he heard Angelina's voice yelled back, "Sorry Fred I already have date, besides I still won't shag you, so you won't have fun anyway!". There was a loud laughter and Adrian was happy that she wasn't going with Fred but also sadbut wasn't the least bit surprised that she was going on a date.
" Oi, Belle, why don't we start over and I take you to Hogsmead this weekend!", said a confident Wood. This caught Flint's attention and he had a scowl on his face. "Sorry, Wood, see like Angelina, I too have a date, you'll probably have more fun if you take your quaffle!", teased Katie. Wood's face turned into a scarlet red because of embarrassment. Although,Flint was disappointed that Katie was also booked, he joined in on the laughter at Wood's humiliation.
Ron, thinking that Hermione, would accept him with open arms like she did before, thought he still might have a chance, " Come on Mione, I know you still care for me, let's go to Hogsmead together." Hermione really upset at his tactlessness snapped, " Sorry, someone's already asked me, besides you're too much of dunce to date, you're better of with Lavender!" This caused even more of laughter as Ron's face the same color of red as his hair. Draco was laughing at Ron although, he was disheartened at the fact that Hermione was going with someone else.
Harry thinking no one would refuse the boy who lived, tried his luck with Ginny and began, " How about you, me, and Hogsmead this weekend Ginny?". " How about no! Potter! Besides my date is sure to be twice as much fun as you, you're better of lending your shoulder for Cho to cry on!" No onelaughed harder at this than the Slytherins, seeing as how St. Potter had finally been refused. Blaise was joining in on the laughter, but wished so bad that it was him Ginny was going to Hogsmeade with.
Now it was George's turn. Thinking that Alicia still cared for him, and that she wouldn't want anyone else but him, he asked in a cocky manner, " Look, Spinnet, let's give it another go, you and me Hogsmead, this weekend?", " Sorry Weasley, but like you said you wanted to find other fish in the sea. Well I've already got four fishes lined up, and their the four finest fishes to step foot at Hogwarts!". Ginny, Hermione, Katie, and Angelina all shared grins, knowing that Alicia was talking about them. Everyone was laughing at George. However Higgs was thinking to himself, " Four, how'd she manage four dates, and how come I'm not one of them! Oh that's right cause she bloody hates me!"
The days went on the same for the rest of the week. The girls kept ignoring their ex boyfriends and also ignored the Slytherins. Blaise tried to wait for Ginny after class. When she came out he tried to talk to her, but she just scowled at him and walked away. Draco, tried desperately to get Hermione's attention, but she just thought he was trying to annoy her, and she acted like he was invisible. All the boys in potions didn't have much luck either. When Adrian tried to talk to Angelina, she always just gave him one word answers. Marcus even tried to talk to Katie about her personal life, but she just looked at him with wide eyebrows, and told him not to talk to her about anything that didn't have to do with potions. As for Higgs, he faired no better. When he tried to talk to Alicia all his words came out sounding like, " er, al, er, ic, er..umm?" because he was so nervous. All Alicia did was to ask him if he was retarted, or if he had some learning disability. He of course explained that he didn't. This is how it went on the whole week.
Finally Hogsmead weekend had approach and the girls were all thrilled to go together. They all looked pretty going out. They were all in jeans, because Hogsmead had normal weather unlike Hogwarts, which was still really hot. The girls had lot's of fun looking around at the little shops. They decided to stop by some stores and get little accessories for their hair, and earrings just to wear for when they felt like it. When they were tired, they decided to rest at the three broomsticks.
Meanwhile, Oliver, Fred, George,Ronand Harry were walking around through Hogsmead dateless. Finally understanding, that the girls' socalled dates were each other they felt really stupid. "Can you believe those five, wanting to go with each other rather than go with us?" asked George. " Yah I can, they're really mad at us, who can blame them I'd be mad at us too.!" , said Harry. " Yah I guess you're right", said Ron. " Yeah, but do they have to be so heartless, they didn't have to humiliate us in front of the whole school when we asked them out!" snapped Fred. " Wait minute you're right! Where do they get off treating us like dirt of their shoes!", said Oliver. Harry and Ron of course agreed with the older gentlemen, because they suffered humiliation as well.
"Is that mum over there?" asked Ron, looking at the redheaded woman who was standing near Madam Milkins. The five boys went over to her but before they reached her George stopped them. " She's going to want to know about the girls, and why we're not with them!" , said George. Suddenly the perfect scheme to get back at the girls popped into Fred's head. He knew that their mother had a temper, especially if someone had hurt their children. So he decided to make it seem like the girls left them for no reason and that it was the girls who were to blame for the breakup. All the boys wanted to get back at the girls and agreed with Fred. They knew the girls were in the three broomsticks, and that many of their fellow peers were there. It would be the perfect place for Mrs. Weasley to yell at the girls, and the girls would be humiliated. " Hello darlings!" said Mrs. Weasley as the five boys approached her. " Hi mum!" said Fred, George, and Ron in unison. " Hi Mrs. Weasely.", said Harry and Oliver. " Oh , my, where are, Angelina, Alicia, Hermione, Katie, and Ginny boys?" asked Mrs. Weasley.Fred, George, Ron, Harry, and Oliver put on the saddest faces they could make up. " Why boys, what's wrong?", asked Mrs. Weasely as she looked at the expressions on all the boys faces. " It's Alicia, mom she's left me for no apparent reason!", said George, touching his heart dramatically to make Mrs. Weasely think that he wasin pain. "We've tried to talk to them but they won't give us the time of day!", said Fred just as dramatically. " I've been trying to talk to Hermione mum, but she won't pay attention to me she acts like I'm invisible", said Ron holding his hands in face, to make it seem like he was crying. " Katie won't talk to me, she treats me like I'm nothing, and I feel like nothing!", said Oliver. " Ginny treats me like I'm no better than dirt of her shoes!" wailed Harry trying to convince Mrs. Weasley of his sorrow.
"WHAT!", said Mrs. Weasely with her face reddening because of her anger towards the girls. How dare they treat these boys in such a rotten manner. She always thought Angelina was a fine girl with such good values. She knew Katie's mom and thought that Katie was a lovely girl who was so full of life. Alicia spent many summers at Mrs. Weasley's home, and Mrs. Weasley thought that she was kind, and had a great sense of humor. Hermione, was like a second daughter to her, and Mrs. Weasely thought she was kind and brilliant. Her own daughter Ginny, had a sense of humor like Fred and George, but was still very kind and polite towards people. Well she definitely wasn't going to stand for this, she looked the boys dead in the eye and asked, " WHERE ARE THEY, I want to have a little chat with them, how dare they treat you like this, who do they think they are?" " THE THREE BROOMSTICKS!", all five boys said in unison, and they were exited that the girls were getting in trouble for not giving them a second chance. To them, the best part was that the girls were going to be humiliated.
Sitting at a table in The Three Broomsticks, were Ginny, Hermione, Angelina, Katie, and Alicia, laughing together as they drunk their butterbeers. Sitting in another table were, Draco, Blaise, Adrian, Marcus and Terrence, who were also drinking butterbeer and laughing together. "Why does it seem like they are always where we are?" asked Hermione, as she snuck a peak at the Slytherins who were not too far away. " Who cares ? As long as we don't talk to them we should be fine.", said Angelina.
" I have to admit, that I am relieved that they didn't have dates, took me awhile to figure out that they meant they were going with each other.", said Flint. " Doesn't matter if they have dates or not, they still hate us, Angelina won't even look at me!" said Adrian. "Well you did want a challenge, she hasn't had sex, and she won't give you time of day.", laughed Blaise. " Tell me Blaise, has Ginny even had a conversation with you yet, or does she still tell you to get out of her way?" barked Adrian. " Drop it you two we're all in the same boat, none of us stand a chance with any of them.", said Higgs. " Hey, who's that lady walking really fast outside, it looks like Weasel's mum, and she looks really mad!", said Draco as he saw Mrs. Weasley walking outside the window. The door opened wide and an angry voice said, " YOU FIVE!". The voice was so loud everyone who was in The Three Broomsticks could hear it clearly. Adrian, Marcus, Terrence, Blaise, and Draco, looked at the woman, and saw that she was glaring, at Angelina, Katie, Alicia, Hermione and Ginny.
" Oh hello mum!", said Ginny happy to see her mother, and yet scared at the glares that she was giving them. " Oh don't you hello mum me! Ginny Weasely, how dare you treat Harry, like he's no better than the dirt of your shoes!", spat Mrs. Weasely. "You have it all wrong Mrs. Weasely Ginny didn't…", began Angelina but was cut off by Mrs. Weasley when she snapped, "As for you Angelina, I expected better from, you, you were such a good girl, how could you be so cold hearted with Fred and not give him the time of day!" " No that's not what happened with Fred and Angelina at all Mrs. Weas…", began Katie and she too was cut off as Mrs. Weasley's loud voice bellowed " Oliver, is a kind boy Katie, and I thought you were a sweet girl, how could you treat him like a nothing!" " Wait hold on, Mrs. Weasley, it wasn't like th….", began Alicia, but she too was cut off by Mrs. Weasley's wrath. " And as for you Alicia, I've spent time with you for a few summers, how could you break George's heart for no apparent reason!" "But it wasn't Ali…", began Hermione, and even she couldn't get a word in as she was cut off by Mrs. Weasley as well. " Hermione, I'm so disappointed in you. You were like my second daughter, how could you treat my son like he's invisible!", yelled Mrs. Weasley.
All the girls had tears in their eyes, because Mrs. Weasley was yelling at them and because none of what she said was true. They felt so embarrassed because all the people in the three broomsticks were eyeing them. The five Slytherin boys, were silent, but they were angry because they knew that Mrs. Weasley was wrong.
The girls were so upset, but none more than Ginny, who's temper matched Mrs. Weasley's and she finally spat out, "Mum, maybe if you'd stop yelling and listen to us for a second maybe you can hear the full story of how it really happened!". Mrs. Weasley finally gave in and listened to Ginny. "First of all mum, Fred and Angelina broke up because Angelina didn't want to have sex with him and he was angry with her for it. Second George wanted to find other fish in the sea, so he let Alicia go. Third, Katie cared a lot for Oliver but he dumped her because of quidditch. Fourth Hermione and Ron broke up because Ron kept cheating on her with Lavender. Finally Harry and I broke up because he wanted to be with Cho, so you have no right to come in here, and start yelling at us when you don't know the full story!" Ginny yelled. Everyone was now looking at a very embarrassed Mrs. Weasley. Blaise was definitely stunned at Ginny's temper, and how she put her mother in her place. Mrs. Weasley on the other hand looked apologetically at all the girls who's faces were now tear stained. "Oh I'm so sorry, ladies can you ever forgive me! I didn't mean to, it's just the boys, said…". "They were lying mum because they tried to ask us out today, thinking we'd say yes but we didn't!" said Ginny. The girls of course, forgave Ms. Weasley. "Don't worry you five, they'll get it from me, not just right now cause I've got to run but, I promise you, they'll be hearing from me!", promised Mrs. Weasley as she apparated back home.
The weekend passed and soon it was Monday again. During breakfast Angelina, Ginny, Hermione, Katie and Alicia sat together far away from Fred, Harry, Oliver, and George, since they were still very upset about what they had done in Hogsmead. Not knowing that Mrs. Weasley knew the truth the five Gryffindor boys, gave the girls very smug smiles as if they had just won something. "Can you believe them, they have some nerve, after what they did , breaking up with us for stupid reasons!" said Alicia. " Let's not worry about that now, Mrs. Weasley knows the truth and it's over.", said Katie. " Hey do hear that?", asked Angelina. " It's mum's owl!" Ginny said, as she looked at the familiar owl flying through the window, with a red envelope in it's mouth. " Ha! Ha! Looks like someone's got a howler", laughed Fred from across the room, not knowing that his mother new the truth. As the owl flew near the five girls, it gave them a wink and dropped the howler near the five boys. Everyone in the great hall started to laugh because Fred made himself look like an idiot again. The five Slytherins were grinning as well, and they all thought that the Gryffindor males deserved what was coming to them. "Wait this can' be right!" said George, seeing that the howler was marked, Oliver, Harry, Ron, George and Fred. The girls all had grins on their faces.
"Okay, guess we'd better get it over with then." said Oliver as he opened the red envelope seeing that his name was first. As soon as the envelope was open Mrs. Weasley's loud voice yelled, " OLIVER WOOD, HOW DARE YOU CHOOSE QUIDDITCH OVER KATIE IT'S NO WONDER WHY SHE TREATS YOU LIKE NOTHING. PLEASE TELL US IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'RE HIDING, BECAUSE A MAN WHO SPENDS MORE TIME WITH A QUAFFLE THAN WITH A GIRL AS LOVELY AS KATIE MUST BE GAY!", Oliver was in shock, and Harry was shaking as the howler made it's way to him next and yelled out " AND YOU, HARRY POTTER, I EXPECTED MORE FROM YOU. I'VE TREATED YOU LIKE A SON. JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BOY WHO LIVED DOESN'T GIVE YOU A RIGHT TO TREAT GINNY THAT WAY, CASTING HER ASIDE FOR SOME OTHER WOMAN, I'D TREAT YOU LIKE DIRT OF MY SHOE ALSO IF YOU DID THAT TO ME!" Harry covered his face in his hands too embarrassed to look up. Ron looked like he was about to vomit as the howler made it's way to him and yelled, " AS FOR YOU RONALD WEASLEY, HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO HERMIONE, YOU IDIOT! HOW DARE YOU LET SUCH A BRILLIANT GIRL GO, I AM SO ASHAMED!". George tried to get up from the table before the howler could get to him, but he wasn't fast enough and the howler yelled, " AS FOR YOU AND THIS WHOLE FUTURE NONSENSE, ALICIA IS NOT AN OBJECT. I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW YOUR FATHER AND I HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE HOGWARTS. HOW DARE YOU TREAT HER LIKE SHE HAS NO FEELINGS YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!". Fred was already paralyzed in fearand couldn't move and the howler yelled in rage " AND AS FOR YOU FREDERICK WEASLEY, I AM ABSOLUTEY DISGUSTED. HOW ON EARTH COULD I HAVE RAISED SUCH A HORNY PERVERTED GIT FOR A SON. HOW DARE YOU BREAK UP WITH ANGELINA BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH YOU. IF DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN, I'LL MAKE SURE TO CASTRATE YOU!" The howler yelled one more time and said " FRED, RON, GEORGE YOU HAVE CAUSED ME THREE GREAT GIRLS, I WOULD HAVE LIKED FOR DAUGHTER IN LAWS, AND TO OLIVER AND HARRY, YOU MAY HAVE JUST LOST THE ONLY THINGS IN YOUR LIFE'S THAT MAY HAVE BEEN WORTH KEEPING!". With that the howler burst into flames. The whole school bursted outlaughing at the five Gryffindor boys."How is it that they always manage to embarrass us in front of the whole school?"asked Ron as he slumped his head on his hands.
Before breakfast ended, professor Dumbledore had another announcement to make. " As you all know winter is coming up and so is Christmas, and unfortunately due to the heat it won't seem that much like Christmas here in Hogwarts, so we've decided that students who wish to have a traditional Christmas, will have a choice of spending Christmas in a Mountain Resort in a wizarding area in the Swiss Alps for two weeks, or they can stay here. However, let me tell you, that there will also be a winter ball held in the Swiss Alps which may persuade your decisions. Each suite has room for five beds, and you can choose who you want to room with no matter what year or house they are in as long as they're the same gender. You're rooms can be next to someone of the opposite gender, but you cannot room with them. It is now October, and you all have plenty of time to decide, but please, I'm going to need all your decisions by November 15th.", said Dumbledore.
" So how about it ladies, we can all room together, and it's in the Swiss Alps!" said Alicia. " I'm in!", said Angelina, Katie, Ginny and Hermione. " I bet the ball is going to be magnificent!", said Hermione " Yeah and now we have two months to pick out the perfect gowns!" said Angelina. " I can't wait!" said Katie. " Swiss Alps, here we come!" said Ginny.
Meanwhile at the Slytherin table, Draco,Blaise, Adrian,Marcus and Terrence were chatting amongst each other. " Hey looks the fabulous five are going to the Swiss Alps, so what do you gents? Shall we go?", asked Adrian hoping to spend Christmas with Angelina. " If they're there I'm there!" said Higgs who was staring hungrily at Alicia. " If Belle's going I'm going!" replied Marcus. " We're definitely in!" said Blaise and Draco in unison as they stared at Hermione and Ginny. " They won't even date us, they probably don't even want dates!" said Draco. "Oh don't worry we'll think of something, their not the only one's who can be cunning!", said Adrian.
