It was morning time and the girls were still pressed against the boys in bed. The girls were still unconscious, but their bodies seemed to be a lot warmer than the night before.
As Adrian opened his eyes he saw Angelina still lying next to him. He'd woken up next to many girls before, but he never felt the feeling that he felt that instant when he woke up next to her, he had a sense of peace and felt complete. The weird part for him was that he hadn't even shagged her yet, and he was contented. He loved that feeling, and was so scared to lose her, because he knew he'd never have it again.
Draco woke up next and looked at Hermione. He had hoped that she would have been awake before him. He looked at her and frowned at her unconscious state. He gently moved her hair away from her face and whispered, "Please wake up soon Hermione." There was a sense of pleading in his voice.
The door opened and Madam Pomfrey walked into the room, and felt all of the girls. She looked a little bit happier than the last night as she examined the girls one by one. " Have they moved at all yet boys?" she asked looking at Marcus.
Marcus shook his head and frowned as he looked at Katie who still wasn't moving. He kissed her on her forehead, hoping that it might make a difference. To his disappointment Katie still didn't move and he knew all he could do was hope for the best.
"mmmm….nooo!" a voice said, as all the boys looked at Blaise's direction. Blaise looked at Ginny, and was thrilled that she moved her head, and spoke. To his disappointment, Ginny fell silent and still again. He rubbed the redhead's forehead, and held her tightly hoping that it would make her wake up again in no time.
Madam Pomfrey was now getting warm clothes and putting it on the girls feet, so that they would be even warmer. As she approached Alicia's body, she saw Terrence's eyes looking watery, and she knew that the boy cared for the girl by the way he looked at her. "Don't worry Mr. Higgs, I'm sure she'll be fine, they are all doing much better than last night. Their temperatures are still low, but I think they have a strong chance." Madam Pomfrey said, trying to reassure Terrence and the other boys.
"It's cold", Hermione's voice said, and Draco immediately looked at her, as did all the boys. He was hoping that she would wake up, he looked at her intently. She started moving her fingers slowly, and Draco's heart kept beating faster with her movement. He watched her face and saw her lashes fluttering slowly. She finally opened her eyes and saw Draco's face smiling at her. She smiled back until she finally realized that she was naked, and from the feeling of things, she realized that Draco was too.
" Draco, we didn't…….did we?" Hermione asked, in a panic turning a deep shade of red. Draco didn't have time to answer her because Madam Pomfrey rushed to her.
"It's good you're finally awake. Don't worry, I know things look odd at the moment, but it was the only way to make sure you girls would be okay. You needed Mr. Malfoy's body to be next to yours for heat. I promise you nothing happened to any of you last night." Madam Pomfrey explained.
Hermione was now feeling more than relieved. She tried to move but her body was in so much pain from what she had endured the night before.
Draco asked her if she had remembered anything about the night before, and she fell silent, as tears started falling from her eyes, as she remembered how she and her friends almost died. She began to wail when she saw that she was the only one who was awake.
"Please God, help them! Don't let them die, they're like my sisters!" cried Hermione, as her heart ached for her close friends. The girl couldn't stop crying, and her body ached so much at the same time. Madam Pomfrey rushed right over to her to assure that her friends had a strong chance of survival. Hermione couldn't think, and she didn't even think about the fact that she was still lying in bed naked with Draco. All she could think about was how different life would be if she lost any one of them.
Meanwhile, an unconscious redhead was having nightmares about her ordeal. In her nightmare she kept trying to swim up for surface, but kept getting weighed down. Even though she was in bed, her mind was still at the frozen lake, trying to gasp for air. Her dream continued, and when she reached the surface she took sharp intake of breath, and yelled "Help!" Part of her nightmare became part of a reality because all the men turned to the direction of the girl who had risen so suddenly. She was shaking. "It's alright Gin, your safe, it's over" said Blaise who was thrilled that Ginny had finally awoken.
Hermione was so relieved that her friend finally woke up and said, " Gin, you're awake! Thank Heavens! I would have been so devastated if I lost you." Blaise nodded, because he understood exactly how Hermione felt, he didn't want to imagine life without Ginny either.
Ginny looked around her, and was shocked and she said, "Hermione, what did we do last night? I remember being freezing, but I don't know how we ended up here. Oh No! We're Naked!" Ginny had tears streaming down her face, "I'm only fifteen, I couldn't have……" Ginny was about to rant but Hermione smiled, and told her that everything was okay, that it was Madam Pomfrey's orders. Blaise reassured her that nothing went on last night, and that he was to worried about her to even think about taking advantage of her situation, not that he ever would do such a thing without her consent.
Ginny had finally calmed down, and looked at the other three girls who were still not stirring. " Mione, do you think they'll make it?" Ginny asked, in a very hoarse voice, and everyone knew that she wanted to cry as she looked her older friends.
"Gin, I don't know. Madam Pomfrey says they have a fighting chance. I hope they wake up soon though. They've always been there for us when we've needed them, and we still need them!" said Hermione while she tried to fight another lump that was building in her throat. Draco kept rubbing her back trying to calm her down, and he gave his friends sympathetic looks, seeing as how their girls had yet to wake up.
Katie had her eyes shut, but she was conscious. She had opened her eyes when Marcus wasn't looking. She heard all the voices that were talking, and she wasn't worried. She already knew why she was naked next to Marcus, it was because he was trying to make her better. She made the slowest movements of her hands, and reached for Marcus's hair, and he yelped because he was startled at her movement.
"Well this was definitely unpredictable" Katie said with a faint smile as she looked at Marcus.
Marcus was really amazed that she could still smile after what she had been through, and he tried to explain why she was naked, but she put a finger over his lips and told him that she new, she was listening the whole time.
"WELL, YOU COULD HAVE LET ME KNOW YOU WERE CONCSIOUS SOONER. FOR HEAVENS SAKE KATES, I WAS WORRIED TO DEATH!" screamed Marcus, as he held Katie tight and close to him. He savored her every breath and word, he savored her whole consciousness. He had never felt happier in his life.
Marcus's voice was so loud, that another unconscious woman, was stirring.
"Alicia?" said Terrence, as he focused on her movements.
"Mmmmm….yyyyy head" said Alicia whose eyes were beginning to open. She carefully moved her body around and looked at Terrence. Immediately, a look of terror fell upon her face. "Oh my gosh Terrence, did Iseduce you? I'm usually not this forward. I'm really a good girl. Did I have a lot to drink? Oh no! You must think I'm easy!" Alicia began to cry. Terrence was really surprised, he thought that Alicia, would have blamed him for the whole thing, but there she was crying and blaming herself.
"No, Leesh. Honey nothing happened. You're temperature was really low and Madam Pomfrey said that body heat was the only thing that would warm you girls up. You didn't seduce me. Even if you had I still wouldn't think any less of you. I'm just surprised that you didn't blame me for the whole thing.", said Terrence as he gave Alicia a smile while he stroked her hair.
Alicia, trusted Terrence completely that's why she knew he wouldn't have done anything she didn't want to. "It's just that I know you, you wouldn't have taken advantage of me." Alicia said as she looked at Terrence straight in the eye. No girl had ever made Terrence feel the way Alicia had. She took the time to learn about him, and she trusted him, something that no girl had done with him before. It was that instant he knew that she was the one.
Alicia, looked around the room and saw Katie, Hermione, and Ginny all sitting awake still pinned to the boys. A frown, and water started to build up in eyes when she looked at Adrian's direction.
Adrian, was dying every minute because Agnelina hadn't stirred. Alicia, seeing the emotion in Adrian's eyes said, "Don't worry she'll make it. Angelina's strong, she's a fighter. The only that I hate is that she's always protective of all of us, and we couldn't protect her!" Alicia started to sob as the girls joined in.
"It's okay it's not your fault girls. You were all in the same situation and there was nothing you could do even if you wanted to." Adrian assured the crying girls, as he looked at the girl in his arms.
Katie, was remembering how it was sometimes hard to wake Angelina up, when she was in a deep sleep. She remembered how she and Alicia, would try different tactics to make her wake up. Then she gave Adrian a serious look, and Adrian was confused. " Blow in her ear!" said Katie.
"What? Why?" said Adrian, thinking that Katie's head must have still been filled up with water, to think such a thing.
"Look, Alicia and I would blow in her ear when it was hard to get her to wake up. Just give it a try Adrian!" said Katie, who was getting irritated and exited, hoping that it would work.
Adrian did as he was told and started blowing softly in Angelina's ears, she still didn't move but Adrian didn't give up, and he whispered " Come on Angel, don't go to Heaven yet, I need you hear on earth with me, please stay with me and wake up." He blew in her ear again, this time slower and longer.
Adrian's heart raced, as he saw his Angel open her eyes. He was so exited that he kissed her all around her face and said, "Oh Angel, don't you ever scare me like that again!" Angelina put on a weak smile on her face, her head was still aching, and her body felt really heavy.
"Whoa, Angelina you gave us quite a scare there. I thought you weren't going to make it. You were really close to the bottom of the lake when I found you" said Terrence, who was relieved that his friend was awake and conscious.
Angelina however was still in shock as she looked around the room. She was wondering why everyone was lying in bed. She was really weirded out when she saw that the people around her were naked. Most of all, she was horrified when she realized that she and the person next to her were naked as well. Angelina, couldn't say a thing. She was in pain and in so much shock, that she began to cry uncontrollably.
" Angel, don't worry it's okay your safe, and your alive!" said Adrian who was startled at her behaviour, and failed to realize that he was still naked with her in his arms.
" IT'S NOT THAT. I'M CRYING BECAUSE I LOST MY VIRGINITY LAST NIGHT! AND THE WORST PART IS THAT I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER IT!", she wailed. She was so embarrassed, especially when she saw the people smiling at her, then she said, "OH NO! YOU GUYS PROBABLY WATCHED THE WHOLE THING! I'M A WHORE. FORGET THAT ANNA SLEEPS WITH DIFFERENT MEN, AT LEAST SHE DOES IT PRIVATE. I DID IT IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU! YOU GUYS MUST THINK I'M REALLY LOW! WELL I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THE SHOW!" she cried on as the girls all tried to suppress their giggles watching her reaction.
"Angelina, stop crying you dummy, nothing happened last night. All of our temperatures dropped because we were frozen from last night! Madam Pomfrey made Adrian get naked in bed with you because it was the surest way to warm you up, that's what all the boys had to do for us." Katie explained with a faint grin on her face.
Angelina was relieved and she hugged Adrian, who held her tightly not wanting to ever let her go again. Angelina looked at Terrence who caught her eye, and she said, " Thank you for saving my life Terrence, I owe you one!" and Terrence smiled.
"Wait a minute, if Terrence saved Angelina, who saved me?" asked Alicia, wanting to give gratitude to the person who gave her a second chance at life. She looked and Marcus raised his hand, to indicate that he was the one who pulled her out of the water.
"Thank you Marcus, I don't know how I could ever repay you." Alicia said, and Marcus told her that it was no problem.
Marcus told Katie that it was Adrian who got to her in the lake. She mouthed a thank you to Adrian, who mouthed back an anytime and they both smiled.
Blaise told Ginny who saved her and Draco did the same with Hermione. The boys told them not to mention it, and that they'd do it again in heart beat.
Since all the boys stopped worrying, they now took a notice of how they were all in their birthday suits.
Hermione who kept moving around to get comfortable, was making Draco's temperature rise. All the girls were stirring, and they all had the same effect on the boys.
As the boys eyed each other, they all knew what they were all thinking. They all had huge erections, and were all hoping that the girls wouldn't notice it.
The girls were oblivious to the fact that they were turning the guys on, just by lying naked in bed with them. Then Ginny said " Blaise, I'm still naked, could you please go to my room and get me a pair of pajamas and underwear."
All the girls realized that they were naked, and also wanted clothing, and told asked each of their bedmates to retrieve their articles of clothing.
The boys didn't want to move, and Adrian said " Ummmm, I can't, I don't know where you keep your clothes Angel."
All the boys said the same things to the girls, but the girls had happily told them the precise locations of their clothing.
The men pulled their boxers up and made their way to the girls' room. They however did not go unnoticed and neither did their erections.
When the boys came back in with the pajamas, Katie yelled out, " MY GENTLEMEN, WE'RE SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU! AND FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS YOU MUST BE REALLY HAPPY TO SEE US TOO!" and all the girls bursted into giggles, but it was short lived cause all of them had laid their hands down in pain.
All of their heads were still pounding, and their bodies were still aching. The men however, were red in embarrassment, because the girls had noticed their erections, and Marcus said, " LOOK WE JUST WOKE UP IT'S NATURAL TO HAVE A MORNING BONER!"
The girls said nothing as they laid down in pain, and Alicia said, " Terrence, I can't move can you please put my clothes on for me! It shouldn't be that weird I'm mean you've already seen me naked."
However, Terrence didn't see her naked. He remembered how the guys avoided seeing the girls naked and he knew that none of them really did. The other girls also asked the boys to put their clothes on for them as well, thinking that it wouldn't matter anymore.
The men stood there paralyzed. Last night they were too worried to even think about the girls being naked. Now that they were all okay, the boys went back to being themselves and their hormones were raging as the girls openly invited them to see them naked.
All the boys focused on the girls that they were going to dress, and didn't look at any of the other girls around them, out of respect for the girls and the other gentlemen.
The boys were all trying hard to think of things, that would calm their erections down, but nothing seemed to work. Terrence tried his hardest not to gape. Adrian shook as he put on Angelina's bra. Marcus was avoiding eye contact with Katie for she might have seen the lust in his eyes. Blaise was really silent, as he helped Ginny. Draco tried hard to concentrate on the article of clothing he was putting on Hermione, and not Hermione herself.
In what seemed, like forever the boys finally got the girls dressed in pajamas. The boys themselves wore more clothing.
"Um, Adrian I'm still really cold. I think you were keeping me warm. Could you please get into bed with me?" asked Angelina. She was so embarrassed that Adrian couldn't help but grin.
"Well, I can honestly say that I never thought I'd be hearing that sentence from your mouth Ms. Johnson." Adrian teased as hopped into the bed with Angelina.
The other girls were all feeling cold still as well, and the other boys hopped into bed with them as well. This time however the guys were much more comfortable because they were all dressed.
The girls were all suddenly quite, and they all gave each other a look. They were all thinking about what could have happened to them, if the boys had not come.
" I hate them!", said Ginny as her tears started to fall from her eyes. She looked at all her friends and cried at the thought of almost losing them. After seeing this all the girls started to cry as well.
The boys knew what they were crying about, and wanted to ask them how they got into that situation in the first place. Terrence asked them to give them details about the whole event.
However Alicia, looked at the girls, and she knew that they all thought the same thing. They thought that the guys would feel guilty if they knew that the reason they almost died in the first place was because of their refusal to stop seeing them.
"The Slytherins and Ravenclaw girls held us there, until we agreed to their terms. We didn't comply, and that's how we almost died!" Alicia explained, as the boys looked at her intently, wanting more detail.
"Yea, but what were…?" Blaise began to ask, but Hermione cut him off and said, " That's all you need to know, they wanted something, and we refused. Please boys that's the end of the story. We all really don't want to relive that night." All the men reluctantly agreed to drop the subject.
Marcus heard Katie's stomach rumbling, and asked her if she was hungry. She nodded that she was, and he and his friends went to get the girls breakfast, leaving them in bed alone, and cold. The girls hoped that the boys would hurry back soon.
The boys got to the breakfast place, still in their pajamas. They caught sight of five people and their bloods began to boil. It was Anna, Cho, Marietta, Lisa, and Pansy.
The girls were approaching them, and the boys all began to clench their fist.
When Anna got near Adrian, he glared at her and he scared her so much that she began to shake. "DID YOU KNOW THAT THE GIRLS ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF YOU SICK, DEMENTED, MALICIOUS, BITCHES?" Adrian roared, and Anna cowered in fear of his wrath.
All the people in the breakfast place watched the confrontation that was happening in front of them. There were even some faculty members there as well, including Dumbledore himself. However he remained quiet wanting to know the whole situation, and the Slytherin and Ravenclaw girls were so afraid of the men right now that they hadn't noticed that he was there.
"Wait you mean they're not dead? Crap they're going to tell on us." said Pansy and Draco wanted to smack her.
"YOU SELFISH LITTLE BITCH! YOU ALMOST COST THE GIRLS THEIR LIVES, AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS GETTING CAUGHT. PANSY YOUR DISGUSTING!" sneered Draco, who wanted to kill Pansy right there and then.
Lisa who was irritated and scared, babbled "Look, if they would have done what we'd ask in the first place, it wouldn't have gone that far. Those little whores brought it upon themselves!"
"DON'T YOU EVER INSULT THOSE GIRLS IN FRONT ME, YOU MAN! IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT YOU FIVE KIDNAPPED THEM AND DIED THEM UP. THEN YOU LEAD THEM TO A DEEP FROZEN LAKE AND THREATEN THEM. NOW YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO INSULT THEM. YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL!" roared Marcus as his eyes were filled with loathing and fury.
" Look, we told them that they would have been set free if they promised not to see you anymore. They refused to stop seeing you, so we did what we did. They had fair warning!" said Marietta and she covered her mouth, as all her friends glared at her.
" WHAT, YOU DID THIS SO THAT THEY WOULD STOP SEEING US! YOU TRIED TO KILL THE GIRLS, SO THAT YOU COULD HAVE US?" sneered Terrence. He was about to reach for Marietta neck to strangle her, but Blaise held him back.
All of a sudden a deep voice said, " Alright I've heard enough, you five ladies will come with me! You gentlemen will get on with what you were doing." It was Dumbledore, and fresh tears made their way to the girl's eyes, for they knew that they were in deep trouble.
Blaise looked like he was thinking about something. It had dawned on him, that the girls hadn't agreed to stop seeing them, and he said, "Even near death, they refused to stop seeing us!"
All the men turned to look at him, and were all stunned. They rushed to make their way back to the girls with the food they had brought for them.
"WHY DID YOU REFUSE THEM, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THIS STATE IF YOU HAD AGREED. YOU ALL ALMOST DIED, AND FOR WHAT? ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS STOP SEEING US!", yelled Draco as all the girls stared at him in shock, and Hermione eyes started filling up with tears. Draco softened his expression as he saw Hermione crying and went to her to comfort her.
"Look Hermione, I'm sorry for my outburst. I'm just angry at the thought that you might have died all because of me" said Draco, as he held Hermione close to him.
"LOOK, WE COULDN'T SAY NO, BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP OUR WORD IF WE DID! DO YOU THINK WE ALL LIED, WHEN WE SAID WE HAD FEELINGS FOR YOU?" yelled Angelina through tears as the girls nodded in agreement with her statement.
The men all held the girls tight, trying to calm them down. They weren't really angry with the girls. They were just more frustrated at the situation. Even before they had started becoming friends, there were so many obstacles that they had to face. If it wasn't other girls it would be other men, and it would continue on.
" Look Angel, I think this goes a bit more than feelings. The men and I would die for your girls, just like you almost died for us. Angel, I don't just want to date anymore, I think we should have a commitment. Be my girlfriend please! That way everyone will know that I belong to you and you belong to me, and they'll think twice before trying to even go near us!" said Adrian, hoping that Angelina would agree.
All of the men looked at the girls with pleading eyes, hoping that they would want the same thing as well. To Adrian's, and the boy's happiness, the girls had all agreed. After all it was only right for a commitment when someone was ready to die for you.
Marcus made his way to Katie's bed. "Marcus, how did you guys find out?" Katie asked.
Marcus kissed her on her head, and explained that they had a run in with the girls at the breakfast place. He also went on to explain how the girls had been caught by Dumbledore, and awaited punishment. The girls were all relieved that they wouldn't haven't to deal with those girls anymore.
" Well Merry Christmas everyone! I must say, this is the greatest Christmas I've ever had!" exclaimed Blaise, as he looked at Ginny. The other girls and men all grinned and greeted each other. Even though there was no tree or ornaments, the girls and boys were grateful for the presents that they had recieved. First, the girls' second chance at life, and second the gift of belonging to each other.
Days had passed and it was finally time to go home. The girls were all feeling much better and they were all packing everything.When they finished they headed outside hand in hand with the boys and waited in line for their carriage.
As they were waiting they saw many eyes of their fellow students upon them. Some of them had smiles. Many of them both from the male and female population, had glares and gritted teeth, as they watched the couples kiss and be affectionate with each other.
"Are they really dating? I thought this whole thing would be over and the girls would come to there senses!" said Fred wanted to choke Adrian as he watched Angelina kiss him tenderly.
Another group of people started chatting amongst themselves as well, a girls voice said, " Great, the hottest guys in school are all taken, what the hell do those girls have that we don't!".
The new couples could here all these whispers, and they all knew that they had big battles ahead of them when they returned to school.
