Hand in hand they all walked into the breakfast place that they always ate at and the girls saw five familiar boys, who didn't look too good at the moment. It was Terry, Anthony, Michael, Eddie and Eric. The girls all looked at their men and grinned at them.
While they were eating, there were five familiar girls that came into the breakfast place, but these girls were not the one's that the girls hated. It was Hannah, Susan, Eloise, Luna and Stephanie.
"Hello girls!" yelled Angelina as she saw her friends that were supposed to be her next door neighbors.
As the three Hufflepuffs and the two Ravenclaws came over, the five Slytherin boys concentrated on their food, determined not to look the girls in the eye.
"Oh hey ladies, how are you?" asked Hannah
"Oh we're good and yourselves? Oh yea, and how are you're rooming conditions?" asked Alicia.
"Oh their alright, accept that our neighbors on one side keep cursing about the slytherinmen, andour neighbors on the otherside keep yelling fowl things about Gryffindor girls" said Eloise.
"Hmm… You're next door neighbors wouldn't happen to be five Gryffindor males that go by the name of Oliver, Fred, George, Harry, and Ron would they?" asked Hermione.
"Oh yeah that's them!" said Steph.
"I'm guessing that you're other neighbors would have to be two Ravenclaws, and three Slytherins, that go by the name of Cho, Marietta, Lisa, Anna, and Pansy?" asked Ginny.
"Yea, they're all really quite fowl, those girls. I never could stand Cho and Marietta! I really wish that we would have ended up roommates. I wonder what happened?" said Luna, as all the boys almost choked on their food.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Katie as she looked at all of the five Slytherins.
"Yes, we're fine honey" said Marcus.
"Well who are you guys rooming next to?" asked Susan.
"Oh, their sitting right across from us" said Alicia as she looked at the Slytherins.
"Wow, that's a good coincidence seeing as how you guys are now getting along" said Hannah.
"Yea, at first we were like, why us? In the end it all worked out for the best" said Angelina.
"Still, we would have much preferred rooming with you girls!" said Eloise.
"Yea, but I guess fate wasn't on our side, I wonder why you guys couldn't remember anything that night at the library" said Alicia and the boys started to get really nervous..
"I don't know" said Susan as she started to think.
"Do you remember anything weird before going to the library, or seeing anyone?" asked Ginny
"No but I don't remember waking up in my bed, I remember waking up in a broom closet!" said Luna.
"Yeah, and I remember seeing these two walking through our hallways not too long after we woke up?" said Stephanie looking at Blaise and Draco, who were looking really pale.
"Same thing happened to us, we woke up in a broom closet too!" said Hannah.
"Hmm that's funny how all of you were the one's we were supposed to room with, and all of you managed to wake up in broom closets the next day" said Katie as she and the girls now eyed the boys who looked like they were going to vomit.
"So did you three see anything funny after you woke up from the broom closets?" asked Angelina and turned to look at Adrian, who was really nervous and didn't dare to look up at her..
"Come to think of it, we saw Adrian,Terrence, and Marcus near our hallways not to long after we woke up" said Susan.
"I don't think it was us" mumbled Adrian who kept his head down.
"Oh well, maybe, maybe not. Anyway who knows? The girls and I are going to get breakfast now, so we'll see you at the ball tonight okay" smiled Stephanie as she and the girls left.
" Alright spill it you five", said Alicia who still had a smile on her face.
"Okay but we only did it because you girls wouldn't talk to us, so please don't be mad again!" said Terrence looking at all the girls with pleading eyes, hoping for understanding.
"Yea, we wanted to spend time with you girls so bad that weresorted to stealing some polyjuice potions so we could get your room number and room next to you" explained Marcus who was scared that he might lose Katie yet again.
"With you girls not talking to us and ignoring us all the time, we thought that if we didn't room next to you, we'd never see you during the two weeks, except for at the ball!" said Draco.
"It was the only way, we were sure that you could get to know us, and maybe learn that we weren't so bad, then maybe you'd at least consider being friends with us" said Blaise.
"What can I say we were pretty desperate to be near you. As you can see we went out of our way just so we could spend time with you, if you really think about it, it's rather romantic" said Adrian trying to give his most charming smile to all of the girls.
The girls gave them glares, but in the end they all just started to laugh.
"Great, at least now I know why Hannah kept on rubbing my bottom, I was a little scared at first!" grinned Angelina.
"Terrence you pervert! That's why Eloise kept digging her face into my chest!" said Alicia causing everyone to laugh.
"My honey, aren't you the sneaky one, kissing my shoulder pretending to cry!" said Katie as she looked at Marcus.
"So, Draco did you like my shampoo and the feel of my hair that night at the library?" grinned Hermione. "I loved everything about it!" smiled back Draco.
"Why Blaise, you naughty, naughty boy running your fingers up my thy like that. I admit I think Luna can be odd at times, but I never thought she'd be a lesbian!" laughed Ginny as the other girls joined in.
"Um, the girls and I should start getting ready now we have a lot to get done." Angelina said as she and the girls looked at their watches.
"Alright, guess we'll walk you back toyour room. Do you girls really have to get ready this early Angelina? It's barely 11: 00." Draco asked.
"Well, there are five of us, and it takes us a while to shower. Then we have to help each other get ready, so that will take us a really long time!" Ginny said.
"Fine, then while you girls get ready, we'll go outside for a bit, seeing as how it takes us less than half the time to be ready" Blaise said.
The girls were all starting to get ready. The boys all went out to see how they could kill time without the objects of their affections with them. It was funny they all wanted to tell the whole world how happy they were, but since all their relationships were fresh, they kept it to themselves, and nohardly anyone knew that they were all dating.
It was around 4:00 when the boy had returned to the room. Marcus had asked the girls if they were all ready yet, but they were still no where near being finished.
The men were worried since the ball started at 6:30, and if the girls weren't ready soon they would have a difficult time finding tables that would fit all ten of them.
The men had finished getting ready by 5:30 and yet the girls were still not ready. So Alicia suggested meeting them at the ball. That way, the girls could have enough time to finish and they would all still have good seats.
It was now 6: 15 and the boys were seated at a long table waiting for their dates. They were all very restless. Almost every student from Hogwarts was in the ballroom already, and not one of the girls was there yet. The orchestra already started to play the intro to the first dance, and the boys were starting to lose hope that the girls would be there soon.
Then suddenly, a vision in red caught Draco's eye. It was Hermione! Her hair was done half up half down and curled. Her make up was done dark, giving her a really seductive look, that made Draco's insides burn with desire. Her gown was halter topped, and the torso part was done in see through red lace. Hermione was more than relieved that the hall was warm. She would have frozen to death if it hadn't been. She saw the handsome blonde haired, grey eyed man coming towards her and she blushed. He was gorgeous with his hair gelled down, black tuxedo and red tie. Their eyes locked as he led her to the table.
"Wow, you look beautiful Hermione!" Blaise said, as all his companions smiled at her in agreement.
"Thank you gentlemen, but wait till you see you're dates!" Hermione said smiling, as she saw the eager looks on the faces of her new Slytherin friends.
The music kept on playing, and everyone turned to look at Blaise, who had rushed up from his seat and made his way to the staircase, to get to the gorgeous redhead in green. Ginny's fiery redhead was done in a bun with spikes. Her green gown was tube topped and had a slit revealing her right leg. Her eye shadow was gold mixed with shades of brown that went very well with her dress. Blaise couldn't take his eyes off of her. Blaise, wasn't the only one with adoring eyes. Ginny was in awe of the handsome man coming to approach her. His curly hair was gelled in waves, and his green eyes really stood out. He looked wonderful in his black tuxedo and green tie. As he reached her, he took her hand and kissed it, making her turn a deep shade of red. They too made their way to the table to join their friends.
"It's no wonder someone was in a rush to get you Ginny, you look amazing!" Terrence said, and Ginny smiled.
"Thanks, but I'm not the only one who looks amazing Terrence", Ginny said, as she pointed to the staircase which had a beautiful girl dressed in lavender descending from it. Terrence's eyes were held captive at the sight of Alicia. Her hair was left down and straightened. Her eyes were done in glittery purple and silver. Her gown was a two piece. Her top was a corsette, that revealed her navel, and her bottom was long and curve fitting, she looked hot! Terrence's heart was pumping fast as he got closer to the girl who had been giving him naughty dreams. However, Terrence wasn't the only one who was thinking about naughty things. Alicia almost forgot how to breath when she caught sight of the handsome blonde haired, green eyed man. He looked gorgeous, with his blonde hair spiked up, his blacktuxedo, and silver tie.
"Well Higgs, you'd better keep your hands on Alicia, men are going to try to be cutting in on you too, she looks good!" said Marcus as he grinned at Alicia, who smiled back at him. "Thanks Marcus but you haven't seen anything yet, and I would get to the staircase before a certain lunatic quidditch maniac does" Alicia said.
Marcus looked at the stairs, and at the same time he saw a burly man getting up from the table. He wasted no time in getting to the staircase where his beautiful petite blond was waiting for him. Marcus was in awe of the pretty chaser in shimmering baby blue. Katie's dress was a one piece tube top gown. She wore a blue choker around her neck to giving her a really elegant look. Her hair was done in a complicated up do. Her make up was done in blue with white shimmers giving her an angelic look. She herself, felt like she was in Heaven as the handsome brown haired, hazel eyed man in a black tuxedo with a blue tie led her to the table.
"Katie you look magnificent, it's a good thing Marcus got to you before Wood did, there would have been a big scene!" Adrian said as Katie smiled at him.
"Looks like Katie's not the only one who's going to cause scenes. Is that drool coming down Chamber's mouth?" grinned Marcus as he saw Angelina at the top of the stairs.
Before anyone else could attempt to get near her, a very handsome man rushed all the way to the top of the staircase toward the exotic woman dressed in a champagne, colored gown. Angelina's gown was backless and fit her curves like a second skin. Her hair was left flowing down with big curls at the ends. Her eye shadow was done in dark shades of brown which gave her a sultry look. When Adrian got to the top of the staircase, he leaned in and kissed Angelina on her cheek, making her body temperature rise. She loved the way he looked, every thing from his piercing blue eyes, black spiky hair, and his black tuxedo and his champagne tie.
"You're stunning Angelina. You're a lucky man Adrian. In fact, I think we're all lucky men, we have the most beautiful girls by our sides!" Draco grinned.
"Sweetheart, you're not the only one's who are lucky, all off you look dashing!" Hermione said, smiling at all the men who were grinning back at her.
Meanwhile, as the handsome men and beautiful girls were sitting down smiling at each other, there were envious eyes all around them. There were many men lusting over the five Gryffindor girls, and many women who wanted to take their clothes off for the five Slytherin men.
"They're not dating are they?" Fred asked, as he looked at their former girlfriends sitting cozily with their arch enemies.
"They better not be; however if they are, once this whole trip is over they're going to put an end to it, I'll make sure of that!" Oliver said, while he looked at Katie who was smiling happily at Marcus. He was getting more and more infuriated.
Meanwhile, at another table there were two Ravenclaw and three Slytherin girls who were very green with envy.
"I don't know what those men see in those bitches!" Cho said. She was raging with jealousy as she kept looking at Blaise, whose eyes were glued to Ginny.
"I'll make sure those rotten little wenches are going to get what they deserve!" Anna maliciously stated as she sat there wanting to pull Angelina's hair out, but got distracted as lively fast pace music started to play.
The Slytherin men grabbed their women to the dance floor and started dancing exuberantly. From time to time they would switch partners amongst themselves, but only themselves. The girls only danced with either, Terrence, Adrian, Marcus, Blaise, and Draco, and the boys swapped from Alicia, Angelina, Katie, Ginny, and Hermione. They were all having so much fun.
When they weren't dancing, the boys would share stories with the girls, and the girls would do the same with the men. They weren't just getting to know only their dates, but they were also getting to know the friends of their dates, and they were starting to develop strong bondswith each other.
The men also started to care for all of the girls as well, not just the one's that they had affections for. Terrence felt that if anyone hurt Alicia, he would kill them, but he would also protect her friends because now, they were his friends as well. All of the men felt like this. If one of the girls got hurt, they would all be there for her no matter which one it was.
The girls were tired and thirsty from dancing so much and the guys offered to get drinks. While the guys were getting punch, the girls gave smiles from their table.
"They're really not that bad are they?" asked Hermione, as she looked at the boys.
"No not at all. They're all really quite nice. It's wonderful having new friends. I'm glad that we're all happy." Alicia said, knowing that her friends hadn't been this happy in a long time.
As the boys started to make their way back to the table everything became pitch black, and everyone was screaming.
"Angelina where are you?" Adrian yelled, in a panic as his friends did the same.
"Terrence, I can't see a thing, I don't know where you are!" Alicia screamed, as she felt a hand grab her wrist.
"Who are you? Let go of me!", Ginny yelled as she was being dragged somewhere by someone she didn't know.
After a few minutes the lights went back on. Adrian, Terrence, Marcus, Blaise, and Draco looked all around the ballroom but couldn't see Angelina, Alicia, Katie, Ginny, or Hermione. They all started to feel sick as they wondered what could have happened to the girls.
"You don't think that their ex boyfriends…."began Draco, but was cut of by Marcus who said, "It's not their ex boyfriends, look they're all still here." Sure enough, the Gryffindor boys were sitting at the table looking as though they had no clue as to what went on.
Meanwhile, Ginny, Angelina, Alicia, Katie, and Hermione, were all blindfolded and had their hands tied behind them in ropes.
They all started to feel really chilled. Angelina felt like she was being stabbed with the painfulness of the cold.
"Please it's so cold let us go! Why are you doing this?" said Hermione, as her voice shaked and her body shivered. However there was no answer, they just kept getting dragged along and it was getting colder by the second.
When they had finally stopped, they were having a hard time standing up because they were standing on something really slippery. They heard the footsteps of their kidnappers walking further away. Suddenly, they heard the voice of a female yell something out, and in that instant all their blindfolds vanished.
As the girls saw the faces of their attackers, their bodies were filled with rage and fear because they were defenseless. They didn't think to bring their wands. It wouldn't have mattered if they did because their hands were bound.
"Look this is an all new low, for you five, let us go!" Katie screamed in rage, and horror.
"That's not going to happen Bell we're going to teach you a lesson. That lesson is you don't take what's ours! Or you will pay dearly" said Lisa with an evil smirk on her face.
"My insides feel so numb, I can hardly breathe!" Angelina said, as she tried to walk towards the snow away from the ice; however it was so slippery that she couldn't move an inch, and fell trying.
Hermione, Ginny, Katie, and Alicia, tried to as well, but they had the same luck as Angelina. Now they were all sitting on the frozen ice, not being able to get up. They were all freezing to death.
"We might be willing to let you go, if you do something for us" Cho said, as she eyed Ginny who was too frozen to do or say anything back.
"Yea, you five stay away from Adrian, Terrence, Blaise, Draco and Marcus, and we'll let you go." Marietta said with snottily.
"Never!" said Alicia, and her friends glared back at their kidnappers indicating that they felt the same way.
"You won't get away with this. Someone is bound to find us!" screamed Hermione through chattering teeth.
"You're stupid to think that we'd let it be that easy. No one will find you once you're at the bottom of the frozen lake!" sneered Pansy as all her friends joined in with malicious laughter.
Meanwhile the Slytherin boys were still looking for them. They still had no luck.
Terrence saw Hannah and Eloise walking together to the restroom and he and his friends decided to stop them before they had gone in, and he said, "Hey ladies, I'm really sorry to bother you, but do you have any idea where the Gryffindor girls might be?"
Hannah and Eloise shook their head in unison, but Luna came up behind him and said, " I hope that I'm wrong, but I think they could be in trouble."
"What do you mean trouble? Who would hurt them?" asked Adrian.
"Well last night, I was walking with Stephanie, and we heard some of the Slytherin and Ravenclaw girls, saying how great it would be if the Gryffindors girls died frozen in a lake! We didn't think that they actually meant it, so we brushed it off." Luna explained with worry present in her voice.
"You don't actually think that they would kill the girls do you?" asked Draco
"I don't know but anything is possible!" said Marcus.
"Well, let's not just stand here, let's get to the lake we all have our wands right?" Blaise said, and all the boys nodded and rushed off to get to the lake.
Meanwhile the girls were paralyzed in fear, as their kidnappers kept pointing their wands out and kept yelling out "inflamare!" causing the ice to crack and melt.
"LOOK THIS WILL ALL BE OVER IF YOU JUST AGREE TO STAY AWAY FROM THE BOYS!" screamed Anna, who was more than furious that the girls kept refusing.
Even though they were close to death the girls couldn't say yes, either because they really loved the boys, or it was because they were too frozen to say anything at all.
"FINE HAVE IT YOUR WAY! INFLAMARE!" , yelled Pansy, and the ice was so cracked and melted, that it started to shift.
"LOOK YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! JUST GIVE UP THE BOYS, AND YOU'LL BE SET FREE!" said Cho, who was scared and angry at the same time, and the girls still didn't say anything.
"INFLAMARE!" yelled Marietta, and this time the ice started shifting rapidly.
The Slytherins had finally made their way to the lake, and the sight that they saw paralyzed them as well. Their hearts were pumping fast, as they felt cold blood rushing through their veins. There were the girls, falling into the coldness of the frozen lake. They rushed near it to see what they could do.
"Boys we didn't……" began Pansy, but the boys looked at her and friends with such loathing, that she couldn't talk anymore.
"Okay gentlemen, put a warming charm and bubblehead charm on yourselves, and we'll jump in to try to find all of them. If you see any one of them, hurry and grab her. We need to save all five!" Adrian said as panic filled his voice.
After they had put thecharms on themselves they jumped into the lake to to try and find the girls. Luckily they had their wands to give them light in the pitch black water. Fear and panic kept rushing into them but they were all determined to find the girls.
Blaise searched around frantically trying to find any one of the girls. As he turned every corner, he spotted long flowing hair, and a red dress. "Hermione!" he thought to himself, and he rushed towards her sinking body and brought her up to the surface.
As he swam her to the shore, he was hoping with all hope that she'd be alright, and that the others were having luck finding the other girls as well. As he held Hermione in his arms trying to warm her, he saw Draco emerge from the water to the surface with someone who had very familiar red hair.
As Draco made his way toward Blaise with Ginny in his arms, he had a look of relief when he saw that Blaise had retrieved Hermione. Blaise gave Hermione, to Draco, and Draco gave Ginny to Blaise, and they each tried to revive them.
"God, I do hope that the other girls are alright..." said Draco, genuinely worried that the other girls wouldn't make it. Just then Adrian popped out of the water, with Katie.
"Okay, well that's three down two to go" said Blaise, who was still trying to revive Ginny.
"You think she'll be alright Adrian?" asked Draco, as he looked at Katie's pale body.
" I don't know but I hope so, we can't lose any of them, they'd all be devastated, we'd all be devastated as well.", replied Adrian fighting down the lump in his throat, seeing how the three girls were not moving, and Alicia and Angelina were still not found.
After a few seconds, Marcus came up to the surface with Alicia, in his arms. His face was full of worry, for the girl he had in his arms was so cold. As he brought her to shore he gave her to Adrian, and took Katie, as they both tried to revive the girls who weren't moving.
Adrian, was now trying his hardest to fight back tears. His eyes were watery, dreading the fact that Angelina might not make it. He tried to keep focusing on Alicia making sure she was okay. Marcus seeing the pain in Adrian's eyes, reassured him that Terrence would find her. In that instant, Terrence popped his head out of the lake, with Angelina in his arms. "Come on Angelina, you're a tough girl, you're going make it.", said Terrence, trying to believe his own words as he talked to the cold, stiff girl in his arms.
Adrian was relieved that Terrence had found her, now all the men had to worry about, was weather the girls would survive or not.
They rushed the girls to the castle to find help. Luckily Madame Pomfrey was passing through. When she saw the boys and the girls, her face went pale. She made the boys take her to their rooms so that she could examine each of the girls properly. As she looked at each of them, she kept on shaking her head. "They have been submerged in frozen water for a long time. Boys I'm going to need your help. I need the five of you to undress them so that they are completely naked. The wet clothes that they are wearing is only going to make them get worst" Madam Pomfrey said with such conviction that the boys wasted no time.
" I don't know if you can here me Angelina, but I'm really sorry about this" Adrian said, as he zipped down Angelina's gown. All the boys had gotten the gowns off of all the girls.
"Well what are you waiting for, remove their bras and panties, I said completely naked, they have to get as dry as possible" Madam Pomfrey said in an irritated voice. She was running around trying to get her supplies so that she could do a better job on making the girls better. She asked how the girls ended up in their current state in the first place.
The boys explained that the Slytherin and Ravenclaw girls were somehow involved, but they didn't exactly know exactly how the girls ended up in their current state.
As Blaise unstrapped Ginny's bra he turned away so that he wouldn't see her breast, and the other boys did the same thing. They covered the girls up with blankets to cover their bare upper bodies, and proceeded to remove their panties.
While Madam Pomfrey, checked on the girls who were all completely naked, she shook her head in disappointment. The guys seeing the look on her face all began to panic even more.
" THEY'RE GOING TO BE ALRIGHT AREN'T THEY?" Terrence asked in voice that was noticeably trying to hold back tears.
"I don't know boys, it's not looking good!" said Madam Pomfrey as she waved her wand around each of the girls, and in that instant the girls started coughing up water, but were still unconscious and unmoving.
"I've managed to take all the water that they had inside their bodies, but their temperature is dangerously low. They are going to need as much heat as they can get" said Madame Pomfrey.
"Well, can't you use a warming charm or something it worked for us!" screamed Blaise. The boys turned to him and saw that he was getting pale, and his eyes were red. They all new he was scared.
"I'm sorry Mr. Zabini, but the warming charm can only work if the person in conscious, and if their body's not frozen. Wait…" said Madam Pomfrey, as she eyed all of the boys very seriously.
"Look, I'm going to ask the five of you to do something, and I don't want any funny business about it. You men are going to have to do this if you want to ensure their survival!" Madam Pomfrey looking as serious as a heart attack.
"Okay we'll do anything, just let us know that there's hope that they'll all be okay!" said Draco turning his around so that no one would see the tear that rolled down his cheek.
"Well, you men will strip yourselves naked and I'm going to put a warming charm on you so that you'll be very warm. After, you will lie warm and naked holding the girls close to you. Your warmness from the charm, the warmness from the blanket, and mostly the warmth of body heat should at least give them a fighting chance!" said Madam Pomfrey as she looked at all the boys who were all in shock, but knew that they had no choice.
Even Terrence was shocked. On any normal occasion he would have been more than happy to lie with Alicia naked in his arms, but right now all he could think about was saving her life.
The boys all got naked and laid themselves down next to the girls, and pinned the girls next to their bodies. Madam Pomfrey was satisfied, and she told them that she would be there first thing in the morning to check on the girls. The boys all felt really warm and hoped with all hope that this would be enough to revive the girls by the time morning came.
"Katie, please be alright, please wake up soon. I don't know what I'd do without you!" said Marcus as he held Katie closer to him and kissed her head. He was thankful that it was dark, because tears started to stream down his face. Little did he know that his friends were all secretly crying as they held the girls that were dearest to them in their arms. None of them had ever felt this kind of heartache before.
The boys were lying in vain, as they waited for sleep to approach, and wished that tomorrow would be a lucky day for them and the girls. Tomorrow would be Christmas and God knows how much the Slytherin men were hoping for a Christmas miracle.
