After the week had gone by, Saturday came and the girls were all really bored. " So, we're all going to the Swiss Alps for sure?", asked Angelina. " Definitely!", repliedAlicia, Katie, Ginny, andHermione in unison. "Alright all we have to do is sign our names on the Swiss Alps sign up sheet!", said Angelina.
So the girls went to the Great Hall to sign their names on the sign up sheet that was attached on the doors. They were almost done andHermione just needed to sign her name.
As Alicia, Katie, and Angelina watched Hermione finish they heard Ginny say, " Oh no hear comes trouble!". They all turned to see what Ginny was looking at, when they saw that she was looking at Adrian, Blaise, Marcus, Terrence, and Draco approaching they all let out groans.
" So are you ladies going to the Swiss Alps for Christmas?" asked Adrian looking at Angelina. "No, we're just writing our names on the sign up sheet for no reason!" Angelina said sarcastically.
"Oh well, we're going, maybe we'll see you there!", said Blaise. "I hope not, I actually want to have a merry Christmas!", spat Ginny.
"Why is it that you five treat us like dirt whenever we try to have a pleasant conversation with you?", asked Draco. " Let's see hmm because you guys, have never had a pleasant conversation with us. In the last years, the only time you boys gave us any kind of acknowledgement was to insult us!", bit Hermione.
" Yeah but..", began Flint, but Katie cut him off by saying, " But nothing, you guys have never said anything nice to us since we started school! Even on the pitch, it's always you guys who initiate the curse words!".
" Common, girls let's leave, I'm sure we can find something better to do than waste our time with these jerks!". Then the girls nodded and started to off walk fast. Then Higgs yelled out " Alicia!", but she just gave him the finger and kept walking.
The boys decided to finish signing their names up on the sign up sheet. " What are we going to do, we're not going to get anywhere with them always walking away from us!", said Higgs.
" We'll think of something!", said Adrian who was longing to be near Angelina.
"Where do you suppose they went to anyways?" asked Flint. " Probably back to their common room , Alicia said they wanted to find something, to do and by the looks on their faces, they seemed pretty bored.", said Draco.
"We need to try to talk to them any chance we can get!" said Blaise.
" Alright we'll keep close to the hallways, near their common room, so we can see them but they can't see us, and when they come out we'll think of what to say to them!" said Adrian.
Meanwhile, inside the girls common room, the girls were thinking of what to do, to escape their being bored.
" I know let's practice quidditch outside, it'll be fun just the five of us." , said Alicia.
" Are you sure? I mean we don't have any beaters, keeper, or a seeker!" asked Angelina.
" Well we can play just for fun, we'll use the snitch, besides Ginny can practice her seeking skills in case the boy who lived gets detention again!", laughed Alicia.
" Oh, alright smarty pants. What do we do about a keeper?"asked Katie.
" Hermione can be keeper!". "What me? Keeper! Are you crazy!" squealed Hermione looking at Alicia. " Look , you're really good at astronomy and arithmancy right?" asked Alicia, and Hermione nodded. " Great all you have to do is pretend that the quaffle is like a meteor coming from different angles, you just watch the angle where the quaffle is coming from, and calculate where you should catch it!", Alicia explained. " Ok I'll try!" said Hermione hesitantly. " Don't worry Katie, Angelina, and I will practice a few shots with you, and when you get really good, that's when we'll play." , said Alicia. The girls were all in agreement. " Let's all wear matching outfits, it would make the five of us look like an all girl team!" said Katie. So they all dressed up in red tank tops, and dark denim blue short shorts, and red chucks.
Draco, Blaise, Adrian, Marcus, and Terrence were trying to stay hidden and waited for a sign of any noise or movement from the Gryffindor common room. Then they heard the door open.
"Someone's coming out!" said Higgs. The sight of the five girls in tight tank tops, and short shorts made all of their mouths drop.
We have to follow them!" whispered Draco, who was drooling over Hermione's beautiful legs since it was the first time he had seen them.
"I'm with you on that Draco!" whispered Adrian who was looking longingly at Angelina.
"Well we have to move a bit faster if we're going to catch up with them!" whispered Flint, who didn't want to waste anymore time staying hidden when he could be close to Katie.
" Alright lets go!" whispered Higgs, who wanted nothing more than to gaze at Alicia.
As they followed the unsuspecting girls, Draco said, " Looks like they're getting brooms from the broom closet." " They're going to play quidditch outside, and from the looks of it, it's going to be just the five of them!" said Adrian.
" Okay, I got an idea, why don't we change into something we can quidditch in, and see if there's a way to get them to play with the five of us!" said Flint.
" That's a great idea Flint", said Blaise, who wanted to get to Ginny as soon as possible.
Adrian had the perfect idea, and he was sure it was going to work. He knew how the girls were about people thinking a man was better than a woman when it came to quidditch, and he would use that to their advantage. Adrian told the boys the plan, and they all figured that they had nothing to lose and everything to gain so they decided to go along with it.
Meanwhile the girls were at the quidditch pitch already. They were allhelping Hermione fly. After a few tries she was rather good. She did what Alicia told her to do and she calculated the angles and the directions the quaffle was in, and she managed not to letone goal pass her.
"Wow baby Mione, you're really good at this, maybe you should try out next year!", said Angelina.
"Yeah Mione, you're even better than Ron.", said Ginny.
As Hermione was flying up to the goalpost, she saw five figures all dressed in green muscle shirts and denim blue cargo shorts, andsounding very irritated she yelled " YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Her other four companions were startled at her yelling and turned to look at what she was staring at.
" SHIT! What the hell are they doing coming over here!" groaned Katie as she and the rest of the girls saw Adrian, Marcus, Terrence,Draco and Blaise approaching.
" I think they just like pissing us off !" said Angelina.
"Either that or that or they have a death wish!" said Alicia.
" If they have a death wish, I'd be more than happy to grant it to them!" said Ginny as the girls laughed. However their laughter died as the boys came face to face with the girls.
" What the hell are you guys doing here!" snapped Katie. " Well, we were wondering if we could play quidditch with you Belle?" said Flint.
"Hell no you can't play quidditch us!" yelled Alicia. " Oh well, that figures!" said Higgs sarcastically, hoping to get a rise from one of the girls.
" And what's that suppose to mean Higgs?" bellowed Angelina. " Well don't get us wrong Angelina, but when it comes to quidditch, men are just better than women, I mean if I were you I wouldn't want to play us either, seeing as how your asses would get whooped!", said Adrian.
" Excuse Me!" said Ginny who was red in the face. " It's true men are just better players than women, when it comes to quidditch " said Blaise, who was happy that their plan was working already.
" That's just not true, The Holy Head Harpies, are an all female team and they'vewon just as many championships as any of the male teams out there!" yelled Hermione. "The Holy Head Harpies are probably a bunch of guys just pretending to be girls for publicity!" said Dracoand smirked as he saw Hermione's face getting redder by the second.
" GIRLS ARE JUST AS GOOD AS MEN WHEN IT COMES TO QUIDDITCH!", yelled Katie. "No they aren't, and you know it that's why you won't play with us!", said Flint.
" The reason we won't play with you is because we do not like you!" snapped Alicia. " Oh sure! That's it, keep telling yourself that Alicia, it's okay for you to be afraid of getting your butted whooped by us males!" said Higgs sarcastically.
" Our team has beaten your team in quidditch matches loads of times!" fought back Angelina. " Yeah, but you also had Wood, Pothead, and the Weasel twins on your team, and they are all males that's why you won!" said Adrian as he watched Angelina scowl.
" Look, women are just as good as men when it comes to quidditch!" bellowed Ginny. " Oh yeah, why don't you prove it, I bet if we played you girls, you would suffer a loss!" teased Blaise as he saw Ginny getting more and more irritated.
" Oh please, you guys would cry like little girls after you played us because you'd be ashamed, after you lose", teased Katie. " Wanna bet?", said Flint.
" We don't make bets with assholes like you, five!" yelled Alicia. "Oh, come on Alicia, the reason you don't want to bet is because you're afraid of losing, proving our point, that men are better than women when it comes to quidditch.", said Higgs.
" Yeah ladies, you're Gryffindors, where's your courage, or are you women afraid of losing to us men?" teased Adrian as he looked at Angelina. "We aren't afraid of anything, especially not of you five!", Angelina spat back.
" I bet anything you guys are afraid to lose a bet to us, and that's why you keep rejecting, our offer to play, becauseyou know we could proveour point.", said Draco. " That's not true, we just don't want to play with you, now leave us alone.", Hermione.
" Poor little Gryffindor, girls, afraid to lose a bet to the big bad Slytherins boys." ,said Blaise.
Ginny who was more than irritated called all of the girls over to her, and said in a low voice, " Look we're better than those bastards, we're friends and we know all of each others reflexes, we could be them. We could stake a bet telling them to leave us alone forever if we win!" All the girls nodded and agreed to play the Slytherins so that they could be left alone.
Since Angelina was lead chaser, the girls decided for her to negotiate with the boys. " Alright we'll play with you! And we have some conditions for the bet. Since, Adrian was a smooth talker, the boys decided to send him over to discuss the bet with Angelina. " Alright Pucey, if we win this bet you five have to leave us alone, forever!" said Angelina. " Okay, Angelina, if we win the five of you, have to spend the two weeks with us at the Swiss Alps, and be our dates for the ball!" said Adrian. Angelina, who was shocked said she'd have to check with the girls. The girls were all hesitant, but they agreed. Angelina went back to Adrian to discuss the rules. " Okay Pucey, there will be no cheating, we want a clean came, the same rules as always, who ever catches the snitch first wins the game. And since there's five of you and five of us, we'll be playing without bludgers. Ginny is going to be our seeker, and Mione's going to be our keeper, Alicia, Katie, and I will keep our place as chasers." , said Angelina. " Okay Angelina, Draco is our seeker, and Blaise is our keeper. However, we've decided that interference does count for both teams. If someone from the outside interferes in our game causing you to win, you still win no complaints. However, if someone interferes in your game causing us to win , we still win, and you guys can't hold any complaints against us deal?" asked Adrian. Angelina decided to talk to girls one more time, and they agreed to the condition that interference counts. Angelina and Adrian shook hands and the game was set in motion.
Flint tried his hardest to shoot the quaffle through one of the hoops, but Hermione's quick reflexes didn't allow him to. Hermione then passed the ball to Katie, who passed it to Alicia. Alicia was trying to pass it to Angelina, but couldn't get a clear shot because Higgs was in her way.
" Out of my way Higgs," yelled Alicia. " Not a chance Spinnet!", yelled back Terrence.
Since Alicia couldn't get a clear shot, Katie went below her, and Alicia tossed the quaffle down, and she caught it then passed to Angelina. Adrian was trying to get quaffle from Angelina. "What's the matter Pucey! Having trouble keeping up with a female?" teased Angelina, as she tried to shoot through one of the hoops. Unfortunately for her Blaise was just as good a keeper as Hermione was. " Nah Johnson, but sure looks like your quaffle had a hard time getting passed a male!" teased Adrian.
The game went on like that with no one scoring. Meanwhile not too far away there were five Gryffindor men who were walking in that direction.
" Okay men since, the girls aren't talking to us we might as well practice some quidditch!"said Oliver but as he got a closer look at the quidditch pitch he was shocked, at the sight he saw, and so were his four companions.
"Wait that can't be right, the Slytherins are probably attacking the girls, we should go help, them, it might help us get back on their good side!" said Fred.
" Is that Hermione they have as keeper? Oh no she'll get hurt, we better go help them! Besides it will make Hermione want to jump back in my arms!" said a hopeful Ron.
" We'll get our bludgers and our bats, we'll aim them at the Slytherins, and Angelina and Alicia will welcome us with open arms!" said Fred as he winked at George.
" Yes and I'll protect Katie from Marcus, I'll make sure that I bring her down safely to the ground!" said Wood, hoping that Katie and him could have good times with quidditch again.
" It looks like Malfoy is circling Ginny, what is his problem, I'll save her!" said Harry, hoping that his good deed would redeem him in Ginny's eyes.
The game was still going on, and the score was Gryffindor 10 Slytherin 0. The Gryffindor boys made their way near the pitch, with the bludgers ready.
Higgs was on his way to the post andHermione was more than ready for him until!... " Hermione move out of the way! You could get hurt!" said Ron as he pulled Hermione away from the goal post, causing Higgs to score for Slytherin making thescore tied.
" Hey Angelina! Alicia, George and I have come to save you!", said Fred as he and George aimed their bludgers towards Higgs, and Pucey who were really close to the girls. Unfortunately, their aim was bad, and they knocked down, Angelina, and Alicia instead.
" It's okay Katie keep going, the games not over!" yelled Angelina from the ground who was more than infuriated with Fred, but couldn't do anything cause he was still in the air.
Flint was flying towards Katie, and Katie was flying to the goal post however, Wood was there. " Don't worryKates I'm here to help!" said Wood, and he grabbed Katie and put her on his broom and flew her down to the grown. He wondered why Katie was kicking and screaming, but ignored it and flew back up immediately trying to get Flint.
" Okay Ginny, you're our last chance you have to grab the snitch!" yelled Katie, but Harry wasn't paying any attention and didn't hear any of what Katie just said. He saw Ginny chasing something but then Draco caught his attention. He thought that Draco was about to attack Ginny, seeing as how he had his hand reached out in the same direction Ginny's was. Ginny almost caught the snitch, unfortunately just as she was about to grab it Harry flew up to her and grabbed her away, letting Draco have easy access to it.
The Slytherins had won, and it didn't matter that the idiot Gryffindor men had interfered because the girls had agreed that interference did count.
In rage, the girls started attacking the Gryffindor boys, for making them lose. Angelina and Alicia both grabbed George and Fred's beater's bat, and began beating the both of them up with it. Harry, Ron, and Wood, would have helped them out but they were having their own dilemmas. Harry could hardly breathe because Ginny was strangling him by the neck. Ron's hair was being pulled out by Hermione, who kept on calling him an idiot. Wood was being beaten up by Katie who kept on hitting him with her broomstick.
The Gryffindor boys were all confused. " Why are you hurting us, we were saving you girls, from the Slytherins, a normal person would have shown us some gratitude!" said Fred." We were having a match with, them and you made us lose!" yelled Angelina.
" Well what's the big deal? It's just a game forget about it!" said George.
" There was a lot at stake for us in that game you idiot!" bellowed Alicia, who was getting redder by the second.
" Look I'm sure it can't be that bad, so get over it besides, we wanted to talk to you girls about something!" said Wood. " Well it is that bad, and besides we don't want to speak to you , especially for making us lose!" spat Katie.
" I'm sure you'll want to talk to us once you hear what, it's about, and it will make you forget about this whole losing to the Slytherins thing." said Ron. " No matter what it is, we won't ever forget about this, and we don't want to hear anything you say.", said Hermione.
" Not even, if it's about you being our dates to the Ball at the Swiss Alps?" said Harry in a conceited way. Ginny who was so angry, didn't reply and just started to strangle Harry even harder than the first time.
All the Slytherin males who were watching and listening to the scene in front of them couldn't help but laugh.
" Look, thanks to you five idiots, even if we wanted to be your dates, which we don't, we can't and it's all your fault!" yelled Angelina. " Our fault wait I'm confused?" said Fred.
" Thanks to you we all already have dates, because we lost a bet with the Slytherins. We bet that girls could beat men at quidditch any day, and thanks to you, we lost, and now we have dates! and we have to spend the whole to weeks with them at the Swiss Alps!" yelled Alicia.
" Wait so who's your date Angelina?", asked Fred. " I'm standing right here!" said Adrian with a smirk on his face. Fred was just shocked, and he couldn't say anything.
" That's right and Alicia's going with me!" said a very happy Terrence Higgs.
" What about you Katie?" asked Wood, who was really afraid of the answer. " I'm afraid Belle's going with me!" said Flint, giving Oliver a smug look.
" Hermione you're not going with Dra..?" began Ron but was cut off by Draco who said, " Oh but she is going with me Weasel, and there's nothing you can do about it!".
"Don't even bother asking Ginny who she's going with Pothead, because you're already looking at the answer!" said Blaise. Harry who was really angry spat " But we interfered it's not their fault, they shouldn't have to go with you!".
" Sorry Pothead, but interference counts!" said Draco. " Yeah we should thank you guys really, it was hard playing the girls, but with your help we were able to win!" said Adrian in a menacing way. " Yeah, can't wait till December, ladies!" said Higgs. With that, the five Slytherin boys blew butterfly kisses at the girls who were still angry and dumbfounded.
" That was a good idea Pucey, making interference count!" laughed Blaise. " Yeah, well gents, looks like we are going to have a very merry Christmas indeed!" grinned Adrian.
