When they were, in the hall way, the boys found the Ravenclaw, and the Hufflepuff girls, and put special memory charms on them, so that they would all have the illusion that they were in the library with the Gryffindor girls.
" Clever idea, Adrian, putting memory charms on the girls to make them think that they met, with Ginny, Hermione, Alicia, Katie and Angelina.", said Blaise.
" Yah well, I figured the Gryffindor girls, would be suspicious, if the Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws would tell them that they didn't remember being at the library last night.", said Adrian.
After that, the boys headed straight to the Great Hall to have some breakfast.
Meanwhile, the Gryffindor girls, were walking down the hallways and were headed in the direction of the Great Hall, when they spotted Hannah, Eloise, Susan, Stephanie and Luna.
" Oh hey girls, did you tell Dumbledore, already?" asked Hermione, assuming that they knew what she was talking about.
"Sorry Hermione, I remember seeing you in the library, but I can't remember what we talked about.", said Stephanie, who looked rather confused.
" Oh, um well we all agreed that our group of five is going to room in 117, and your group of five is going to room in 118." explained Hermione.
" Oh okay,but it's kind of late, someone may have taken room 118 already, we saw a bunch of people lined up outside of Dumbledore's office.", said Hannah.
" I'm sure is not too late, besides it's far from all the action, I don't think that any of the other students have seen it's true potential.", said Katie.
"Well alright then, we'll go line up and request our rooms.", said Eloise.
"Okay, we'll see you girls at the Great Hall for breakfast, make sure you tell us how it goes.", said Alicia.
Meanwhile in the Great Hall, five Slytherin males, were enjoying their breakfast, and also enjoying their thoughts of being in the next room with the objects of their affections.
" This is going to be great, just the five of us, and the five of them, and like Belle said, there would be no one there to disturb us. That' means that the three Weasels, Wood, and Pothead won't even be there.", laughed Flint.
Meanwhile at the Gryffindor table the, girls, being clueless as to what the Slytherins had pulled off, ate their breakfast just as happily as the Slytherins.
" This is great just the 10 of us girls, and no male testosterone to bother us. No Fred, George, Harry, Oliver, and Ron. Oh and also, no Pucey, Higgs, Zabini, Flint, and Malfoy as well, this is going to be a great Christmas!" said Katie with glee.
"Hey! Why do you suppose those five look so happy?" asked Ginny, as she looked and the boys at the Slytherin table who all had happy faces.
" I don't know maybe they found a new exiting way, to torture someone.", said Hermione.
" Angelina, Katie, Alicia !", yelled Hannah Abbot as she walked up to the girls from the doors of the Great Hall.
" Oh hey Hannah, what's up did you guys get the room?" asked Angelina.
" Angelina, we're so sorry, but apparently someone has already taken it, so we're rooming in room 132 instead.", explained Hannah, as she gave the girls apologetic looks and made her way back to her friends.
" Who on earth could have taken that, room, it was so hard to find, and you would think no one else would really want it, seeing as how it's so far away from everything" said Katie.
The boys at the Slytherin table, saw the girls frown, after Hannah had left them, and were very determined not to make any eye contact with the girls.
The girls were thinking very strongly about who they were rooming with and they really couldn't figure it out.
" Well I guess all, we really have to do now is wait till the trip, then we find out who are neighbors are. Besides, whoever they are, they can't be as bad as our ex boyfriends or the Slytherins right?" said Angelina.
" Yeah you're right Angel, everything will be fine.", said Alicia.
Another month had passed, and all the students were trying to finish packing up, their belongings.
In the Gryffindor common room, the five girls were getting their best winter clothing ready for the Swiss Alps. They were extra careful when they packed their ball gowns.
" The dresses we've all chosen are all so beautiful, their all so unique!", said Alicia
" Yea, it's just to bad that their beauty's going to be wasted on Slytherins!" spat Ginny.
" Oh never mind that now Ginny, besides we'll be secluded from them for most of the trip anyways.
" Ok, ladies looks like we're all done.", said Angelina as she looked at all their luggages.
In the Slytherin room, the boys were also finished packing. They took all of their luggages, and went outside where the carriages with flying horses awaited them. As they were waiting for their carriage, they saw the five Gryffindor girls and they all smiled as thoughts about the trip ran throught their heads.
" This is going to be the most wonderful trip, I've been on. Just you and me Spinnet.", thought Terrence, as he looked at Alicia, who gave him a scowl.
"I'll have your heart in no time Angelina Johnson!", thought Adrian as he blew a butterfly kiss at Angelina, who in turn looked at him and mimicked vomiting.
" You want passion Bell, I'll show you passion!" thought Marcus, who smiled at Katie, who in turn shot death glares at him.
" Okay Granger, you'll see a different side to me, you'll love it, and you'll forget all about Weasel!" thought Draco, as he smirked at Hermione. Hermione who saw this, pulled out the daily prophet and covered her face so Draco couldn't see her.
" Alright Ginny, you're a feisty thing, but I'll be everything you want, that you'll stop trying to fight me!" thought Blaise, as he waved at Ginny, who gave him the finger.
It took them half a day to finally arrive at the Swiss Alps. When the students got off the carriages, they were all in awe of the sight that they saw before them. It was a beautiful white castle, that blended in with all of the snow falling. There was a big frozen lake near it, where the students could go ice skating. At the top of the castle were large balconies, where students could over look the beautiful view. Inside the castle, were not only rooms, but there were also shopping places, and little restaurants. The restaurants served free food to the students of course,and the little shops were beautiful.
" This is going to be awesome, we can shop, go ice skating, skiing, there's just so much we can do, I don't think that two weeks is going to be long enough.", said Angelina.
" Well let's not just stay here and stare at it, let's go find our room!" said Alicia.
As they went in search in their room, they found a door that read " Room 117 and room 118 inside this door."
" Oh my goodness that's great, there's even a door to get to the door of our rooms," beemed Katie.
As they opened the door, there was a living room, with a big sofa in the middle. There was also a humongous fire place that had already been lit up.
" Oh, this is a great place to read some of the books I've brought along, and we could have late night chat's in front of the fire together.", grinned Hermione.
Then Angelina unlocked the door to their room, and said, " Oh my gosh, our beds our huge, and the there's a Jacuzzi styled bathtub in the bathroom and a separate place to shower as well. There are also five huge Vanity mirrors! This is going to be heaven!".
" Yes this will definitely be heaven, just the five of us, and no Slyther…..", Ginny began but stopped when she saw five figures standing at the door.
" WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?" yelled Ginny.
" Same as you of course, checking out our room!" replied Blaise with a grin on his face.
" NO, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!" bellowed Alicia.
" Why aren't you ladies glad?This way it won't be so much of a hassle for you to look for us right?" grinned Higgs.
" KATIE, ALICIA, BABY GIN, BABY MIONE, PLEASE WRITE A LETTER TO MY MOTHER FOR ME, EXPLAINING TO HER THAT I HAD FALLEN INTO SUCH DEEP DEPRESSION, AND HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO KILL MYSELF!", shrieked Anglelina.
" Oh common, Johnson, don't pretend that you aren't happy, to be spending your Christmas with the most sought after male at Hogwarts!", grinned Adrian.
" IS THERE ANY WAY WE COULD APPARATE BACK TO HOGWARTS!" yelled Katie.
" Fraid not Belle, you aren't old enough. Besides that your end of the bet was to spend two weeks with us, that wouldn't be very Gryffindor like for you not to keep your word, would it?" laughed Flint.
"WAS I A BAD PERSON IN ANOTHER LIFE, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME! I'M SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH THE BIGGEST JERK!" shouted Hermione.
" Don't be silly Granger, Weasel's not going to be anywhere near you!" smiled Draco as he saw Hermione's face redden and watched her go to her room.
" I'm warning you Pucey, you try anything funny, I'll cause you pain!" spat Angelina.
" You mean like sexual pain? Virgin Queen?", teased Adrian, making Angelina's face go red and caused her to storm of to the room.
" So Alicia, do we have any mistletoe around here?", asked Higgs as he wagged his eyebrows.
"Please Higgs don't make me vomit!" shrieked Alicia, as she followed Angelina to her room.
" If you do anything, I don't like Flint I'll make you pay!" sneered Katie.
" If you're willing to accept sexual favors for payment, I'll make sure I do things you don't like Belle.", said Flint, causing a disgusted Katie to storm into her room after Alicia.
Ginny as usual, didn't speak and just gave Blaise the finger.
Blaise saw this and said, " Is that threat or a promise ? It doesn't matter I'll take it either way." And he watched a fuming Ginny stomp her way do the room.
The girls had been cooped up in their room, waiting for the Slytherins to get hungry enough so that they would leave first. Unfortunately the Slytherins were strong enough to wait it out.
" I'm getting really hungry!" said Alicia.
" Me too.", Katie
" Well let's just go it can't be that bad right?" said Angelina.
" I don't want to suffer with the hunger pain anymore!" said Ginny
" Ok let's get over with!", said Hermione
As the girls emerged out of the room, the Slytherins were already waiting outside for them.
" Ah, it's about time you ladies stepped out of your room, shall we all get something to eat?" asked Adrian.
" Yea, we had food on our mind as well! Shall we all go then?" asked Angelina.
" Alright girl's let go!", said Alicia, as she interlaced arms with Angelina, who interlaced arms with Katie, who interlaced arms with Hermione, who interlaced arms with Ginny.
"OH, YOU GIRLS THINK YOUR SLY, HUH! NOPE THAT WON'T DO AT ALL!" said Higgs.
The girls gave Higgs a questioning look.
" Yeah, the deal was that you girls spend time with us, so if there's going to be any interlacing of any arms, it will be with us!" spat Blaise.
" Are you Serious?" asked Ginny.
" Oh yea, he is, get over here Granger!", commandedDraco and as Hermione got close enough to him, he interlaced his arm with hers.
" That's odd he's holding me like a gentleman would?" thought Hermione to herself.
" That includes you Weasley!" said Blaise as he pulled Ginny closer, and interlaced his arm with hers.
"I'm waiting Spinnet!"said Higg's as he smiled at Alicia
" Fine!", spat Alicia as she reluctantly interlaced her arm with Higgs's.
" Well, shall we Bell?" questioned Marcus as he gave Katie a smile.
" Alright but no funny business!" said Katie, as she gingerly offered her arm to Marcus.
Angelina was trying to make her way to the door until..., " Not so fast Johnson, you're not off the hook, now get over here and lace arms with me?" grinned Adrian. She did as she was told. "Why thank you my lady?" said Adrian
" Hmmm, he doesn't seem that rotten!" Angelina thought to herself.
The five couples walked arm in arm together with the girls hating every minute of it, and the boy savoring it.
" Okay but can we all please eat at the same place?" asked Alicia, breaking the silence that was all around them.
" Of course, the guys and I are all friends, we want to spend the holidays together as well too, we wouldn't want you to hate this Christmas that much!" said Higgs.
The girls all shared confused looks, but they were happy that they were all eating together.
Meanwhile there were five Gryffindor males who were also looking for a place to eat. " Hmm I wonder where the girls are roo…" began Harry, until he caught sight of five really unlikely couples. His face was reddening, but his wasn't the only one, his four companions all had clenched fist.
" Oh no I smell trouble!" said Angelina, who saw the boys looking at them with death glares. Adrian knew she was very uneasy.
" It's okay Angelina, I'm sure everything will be fine!" said Hermione, although she was shaking, and Draco could feel it.
" I don't Hermione they seem pretty upset, and they look really red!" said Katie, who unconsciously laced her arm tighter with Marcus. Marcus was ready to protect her if anything were to happen.
" Okay let's just all stay calm." Alicia tried to say, trying with all her might not to tremble, however Terrence knew she was apprehensive.
As the Gryffindor boys came face to face with them, to no one's surprise Ginny spat, " WHAT ARE YOU FIVE LOOKING AT. ARE YOU TRYING TO SCARE US WITH YOUR DEATH GLARES, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE IF YOU ARE, AFTER ALL ITS ALL YOUR FAULT THAT WE'RE IN THIS SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE!". Blaise was amazed at Ginny's fearlessness.
" Okay, you're right Ginny, but how on earth did they manage to find you?" asked Harry.
"Well, they're our neighbors!" replied Ginny.
" What? Angelina, you'll be neighbors with Slytherins but you won't be neighbors with us you don't even know them!", yelled Fred
" Fred, we didn't find out that we were neighbors until today you idiot.", spat Angelina.
"Okay, but why the hell do you have your arms interlaced for.", spat Ron.
" Even though it's none of your business Ronald, it's part of the bet, we have to spend time with them, and if we stay in separate groups from them, that means we're not holding our end of the bet", retorted Hermione.
"Okay fine, but if they're your neighbors, then you have to tell us where your room is so that we can visit you!", bit George.
" Hell No! you will not know our room number because it is none of your business because we're not your girlfriends.", yelled Alicia.
" Yes, and besides that, it's not like we chose them to be are neighbors, we just ended up neighbors by coincidence! We choose not to spend time with you!" bit Katie.
Feeling hungry and not wanting to argue anymore, Ginny finally saw a restaurant in sight and said, " Look there's a place called Antonio's Italian Eatery, Blaise can we please eat there?"
" Yeah I'm in the mood for Italian, please Adrian?" asked Angelina, also not wanting to argue.
" Me too, I love Italian food, please Terrence can we eat there?" asked Alicia whodidn't want to see the sight of George.
"I'm so hungry I'll eat anything, but Italian sounds really good right about now, can we go too Marcus?" asked Katie, who was getting disgusted looking at her ex boyfriend.
" I'm just as hungry as Katie, but seeing as how all our friends are eating there, I'm hoping you won't mind if I ask to eat there will you Draco?", pleaded Hermione.
The boys who were a little shocked with the girls politeness, and hearing the girls call them by there first names, were more than happy to eat at the Italian place.
Just as they were about to walk away Oliver suddenly said " Yeah, Italian, does sound good I think we should eat there too!" because he did not want to let Katie out of his sight.
"Yeah great idea Gin we'll see you in there" said Fred with such conviction, making Angelina slap her hand to head.
" Fine do whatever you guys want, but don't sit with us!" yelled Hermione.
With that they all made their way into the Italian restaurant. The waiter came up to the five couples who had theirarms interlaced with each other and asked, " How many?"
" Table for ten please" said Draco
As they got to their table, Angelina, Katie, Alicia, Hermione, and Ginny sat across from Adrian, Marcus, Terrence, Draco and Blaise.
Fred, Oliver, George, Oliver, and Harry sat at a table that was right next to them, and they decided to be really abnoxious.
" Hey, Pucey, I don't know what you're playing at, trying to date Angelina, you're probably just doing it to spite me! However if you want to shag her you'll have no luck, besides she's probably not worth waiting for.", said Fred in a deliberate attempt to get Angelina mad.
Angelina said nothing, she just glared at him with forcing herself not to cry.
" YeahHiggs, and as for Alicia, you're better off finding someone else in the future, there are lots of girls just like her around!", spat George, knowing that it would hurt Alicia's feelings
Alicia clenched her fist and forced down the lump that was building in her throat.
" Yea, and Flint, why do you think that I spend so much time on quidditch. If Katie can't get me to pay attention to her, what does that say about her, she's nothing but a bore." spat Wood, angry that Katie would rather be across a Slytherin than with him.
Katie wanted to rise up and chokeWood right there and then, but she decided not to make scene.
" As for Ginny, look at the size of her, she's tiny. If you want someone that you're going to have to always look out for, be my guest Blaise, the girl can't take care of herself!" said Harry knowing that Ginny was going to be more than pissed off.
Ginny was shaking with anger, and if Hermione wasn't holding her down she just might have killed Harry.
" Yeah Malfoy, why the bloody hell do you think I cheated on Hermione so much. She's not enough, and she never will be, and you'll end up cheating on her too, save yourself the trouble don't date her." bit Ron as he glared at Hermione.
Hermione couldn't take it and she turned her face around so that no one could see her cry.
" I'm not hungry anymore!" said Angelina
"I think I just lost my appetite!" said Alicia
" Me too!" said Katie.
" I can't eat anymore either" said Ginny
" Look, I just want to leave" said Hermione.
The girls all stood up and made their way to get up and leave. "Look guys, we're sorry but we're not going to be able to stay, we're going back to the room!", sid Hermione
The girlswere all about to leave, but Draco seeing the water in Hermione's eyes, said " Sit Hermione."
"You too Ginny!" said Blaise
"Stay in your chair Katie", ordered Marcus
" Don't move Alicia", demanded Higgs
"I don't want you out of my sight Angelina, we'll take care of this", said a very determined Adrian.
" Listen Weasel, Granger's the best student in our year and you didn't deserve her. I was too ignorant to see it then, but I see it now. The only dumb decision she has ever made was to have you for a boyfriend!" said Draco as he glared at Ron.
" And as for you Pothead, I've seen Ginny defend herself a number of times. She's a true Gryffindor. She's the last person who needs anybody, and you're just so wrapped up in yourself, that you're too stupid to see that!" spat Blaise, as he earned himself death glares from Harry's green eyes.
" And as for you Wood, Katie's full of passion, she's anything but boring. I see life in her eyes, and if you would take your eyes of the damn quaffle, you'd realize that you've lost someone valuable", barked Flint
Glaring at George, Higgs said "How dare you that about Alicia, Weasel. There's no one like her. I've seen the way she laughs, the way she smiles. She's kind and she's beautiful, you will realize that you were a big idiot for letting her go. You probably realize that now, that's why you're so angry with her!"
" And as for you Weasel # 2, you've lost one of the rarest type of girls. Angelina's breathtaking. The fact that she doesn't put out, shows that she has respect for herself, they hardly make that kind of a girl anymore. You're angry because she didn't give herself to you, and I can't blame her, if I were a girl I wouldn't shag you either!" said Adrian
The girls were all amazed that the Slytherins had just defended them. Since the Gryffindor boys, had been made fools of, they decided to leave.
" Are you okay now?" asked Draco as he looked at Hermione
" Yea I'm fine" said Hermione, but Draco still saw the hurt in her eyes.
"What about you Ginny?" asked Blaise.
" I'll get over it", said Ginny gingerly.
"Katie, are you going to be alright?", asked Marcus
" Sure" said Katie, as she tried not to make eye contact with him.
"Alicia?" asked Higgs looking questioningly into Alicia's eyes
" I'm okay.", answered Alicia, as she was still trying to fight the lump in her throat.
" Angelina, how are you holding up?" asked Adrian
"Oh just fine, they're just words", said Angelina, but Adrian knew that she was hurting.
Later that night, the girls and boys separated and went to their own rooms. The girls were all silent thinking about what had happened. Neither of them wanted to talk about their ex boyfriends, however they all had questions about the Slytherins.
" Draco's never stood up for me like that before!" Hermione finally said.
" Yeah I know I was really surprised, with Blaise as well" said Ginny.
"Adrian's never said anything nice about me either until today!" said a confused Angelina.
" I'm used to Marcus fighting with Wood, but I never thought that he would fight Wood for me!" said Katie
" Same with Higgs, I can't believe he defended me, and to be honest with you I think he looked kind of hot doing it!" giggled Alicia.
"Well maybe this whole spending time with them won't be so bad afterall, and don't feel bad Alicia, I'm starting to find Draco and his blond hair and grey eyes, somewhat attractive as well." , said Hermione trying not to blush.
" Blaise's green eyes, stand out really well with his tan skin, and he's kind of sexy when he's angry!" said Ginny, making all the girls gaze at her.
" Oh come on Angelina, don't tell me you don't think Adrian's hot! Every girl in school thinks he's hot" teased Ginny.
" Okay, I'll admit it, Adrian's handsome, and what he said about me today showed me a different side of him, and I'm rather intrigued. What about you Katie? Feeling anything for Flint?" asked Angelina
" I think he's exiting, he's also kind of cute. However what I like most is that he's a quidditch captain, who's not obsessed with quidditch.", said Katie as she smiled.
" Maybe it'll be fun to get to know more about them, but we can't give any clues to show them that we're attracted to them, they might use it against us!" said Hemione, and all the girls agreed.
With a grin on her face Ginny said ," We'll just wait see what other unexpected things might happen during this trip!"
