Summary: 4 Slytherins and 4 Gryffindors are forced to spend some quality time together....
A/N: Alright, so this is your usual Slytherin-and-Gryffindor-get-stuck-in-a-classroom-so-that-they-can-be-friends-or-even-more plot. But believe me, I'm going to give this story a tiny little twist. Enjoy.
"PEEVES!" Both Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger yelled out in anger and surprise as they were both somehow shoved into a classroom. They heard a low cackle and as soon as they both turned to get out, the poltergeist had already slammed the door shut and locked it.
Hermione immediately got out her wand. She pointed the wand at the door.
"Alohamora!"
The door didn't open. It wouldn't open. Ron kicked at it angrily and started to swear rather colourfully.
Hermione tried again but failed.
"It's no use Granger, the door will never unlock. Magic won't help at all," said a drawling voice behind Hermione. Hermione whirled around in surprise. She found Draco Malfoy leaning against a desk, his arms folded, his face expressionless. "Malfoy?" Hermione gasped.
Ron stopped swearing and whirled around in surprise. Surprise immediately turned to anger and annoyance when he realised that his arch-nemesis was in the empty, dark classroom as well. Pansy Parkinson, Gregory Goyle, another male dark-haired Slytherin whom Hermione nor Ron knew, Seamus Finnigan and Lavender Brown were there as well. They were all locked in an empty classroom in the middle of the night. At least the classroom was somehow well-lit. The desks and chairs were all neatly arranged and there was an empty bookshelf at one end of the classroom. It was like any ordinary classroom except it was almost bare, save the furniture.
"Malfoy!" said Ron through gritted teeth. "What're you doing here?"
Draco only sneered at him. "The same reason why you're here Weasley," He replied. Then noticing that Harry was not there, Draco asked, "Where's Scarhead?"
"Yes, where's Potty eh?" asked Pansy and she let out a shriek of laughter along with Goyle who sniggered as well as if it was a rather funny joke. The dark-haired boy just smiled.
Ron glared daggers at the Slytherins, his face turning an even deeper shade of red. It was almost purple in fact.
Hermione grabbed hold of Ron's robes, afraid that Ron would pounce on them, something that Ron had planned to do anyway. She told him quietly, "Take no notice of them Ron," And to the Slytherins she said to them a little coldly, "If you must know, Harry's in the Common Room right now,"
Pansy muttered something to the boys and they all cracked up again.
Hermione shook her head and then led Ron to where Seamus and Lavender were. "You got pushed in by Peeves as well?" She asked the two of them. The two of them shook their heads. "Oh no, he found us here and then locked us in," replied Seamus a little bitterly. "Then he found that lot over there -" Seamus jerked his head over at the Slytherins. "- and brought them in and then got you two in and now we're all stuck in here,"
Hermione frowned as she heard this. "Well what were you two doing here before Peeves found you?" She asked both Seamus and Lavender. The both of them instantly turned a bright pink and Seamus looked as if he wished hadn't said anything.
Hermione, however, didn't take any notice of their faces and went on slowly. "The Great Hall's a far way off and the Common Room's even farther," She said. "You can't have got lost because it's not like you're new to Hogwarts or something-"
But Ron knew. He knew it immediately the moment Seamus and Lavender blushed. He grinned at them. They did not return the grin.
"How long were you two at it eh?," asked Ron, that grin still evident on his face.
"What?" Hermione looked at Ron with some surprise. She looked at Seamus and Lavender for an answer as well. "What does he mean by that?" She demanded.
Seamus scowled faintly at Ron and Lavender blushed even more. Ron's grin widened. "Oh you know Hermione. They were doing something in here," He said rather casually. He looked meaningfully at Hermione who only looked confused.
"But I don't understand what -" And then it dawned on Hermione and then she let out a small gasp and then blushed a little. "Oh. Oh"
Lavender shot Seamus a look. "Oh you just had to open your big mouth and reveal everything!" She snapped at him.
"Well I can't help it!" protested Seamus. "They asked us how we came here and-" Lavender cut him off with a frustrated sigh. She moved away from Seamus and leaned against a desk, her arms folded, shaking her head miserably. She looked up at Hermione. "How did you two get in here?" She asked.
"We were doing our prefect duties after dinner when we met Peeves and he told us that he found a few students causing some trouble and wanted us to follow him," replied Hermione and then she shot Ron a look. "I knew there was something odd about it but Ron here-"
"I was curious! Blimey 'Mione, you can't blame me for being curious!" It was Ron's turn to protest.
But Hermione refused to take it as an excuse. She shook her head wildly. "Ron, don't be daft! You know how Peeves can be around us. We shouldn't have followed him at all!" She cried. She then moved next to Lavender, glaring at Ron.
"You could've stopped me!" said Ron.
"I did try to stop you!" snapped Hermione. "But you just wouldn't listen!"
Ron stared at her bewildered. He just couldn't figure out why she was angry with him. He looked at Seamus and he gave a shrug as if to say 'Girls. What can we do about them?'
There was some awkward silence between the four of them after that until-
"Well how long do you think we'd be in here?" asked Lavender.
"Probably about a day at least-" started Hermione.
"A day? I can't make it that long! I'll look awful without a proper facial or anything!" exclaimed Lavender in horror.
"Oh you'll survive Lavender," said Hermione a little grumpily. "You're just missing a facial! I'm without my books! Think how much I'd have revised by now-"
"But Hermione we've already taken our N.E.W.Ts already," pointed out Ron. Hermione looked at him and her cheeks turned pink a little. "Well, yes we already have but I still can't help but learn a little more-"
They were too busy talking to notice that the dark-haired Slytherin had wandered over to their side and crept up behind them.
"Having fun?" He asked all too innocently though that sly smile on his face gave it away. The four of them jumped a little, startled to see the dark haired boy behind them.
