Hermione's POV

I was sitting in the compartment with Harry and Ron reading my book. We weren't far away from Hogwarts now and I was getting slightly restless. I decided to get up and I started pacing around the confined space.

Harry looked up with a questioning expression on his face and when I continued he spoke.

"What are you doing Hermione?"

I didn't really know what I was doing to be honest.

"I am bored"

Harry's curious expression was lost and he put his book down.

"Well we only have about five more minutes until we arrive"

"I know but I am just getting restless"

I decided to sit back down and look out the window in an effort to distract myself from my boredom. The blur of greens, browns and blues flew passed before I had any time to distinguish one thing from another.

We were really close now, so close I could see Hogwarts in the distant. The towers that spiralled up into the crimson sky, the sapphire line of water just out of my vision was the lake. We were slowing down now and I could hear the hustle of other people making there way towards the nearest exits.

"We're here now"

Harry said with a satisfactory tone. I picked up my small carry bag and headed towards the door Harry had already slid open, with Ron in tow.

I stepped out onto the platform with Ron right behind me. We headed towards the pathway that lead to the carriages.

We approached the line of carriages, awaiting their cargo. I hauled myself up into the battered carriage and Harry and Ron sat down beside me and we were pulled away to our final, unpredictable year at Hogwarts.

...

We were all seated in the Great Hall with an array of deserts in front of us and then silence began to fall across the room as The headmistress, professor McGonagall approached the golden reading stand.

"Welcome back everyone! I hope the seventh years have come prepared because they've a busy year ahead of them. Which brings me to one of the more important notices involving the seventh years of Gryffindor and Slytherin."

Everyone began to look at eachother trying to desypher each of their own theorys of what it could be.

"Due to the reascent events, the Ministry of Magic have funded and organized a holiday to the French Alpes for the Gryffidors and Slytherins to try and reunite the houses due to the reascent rifts drawn between them"

The looks of horror that ran around the room filled every face in Gryffindor and Slytherin in their 7th year.

I locked eyes with Harry, the same look I was trying to convey came across in his eyes; horror, worry, disbelief and confusion.

It wasn't long before Ron threw his opinion into the mixture of all the thoughts that everyone else was thinking.

"What the bloody hell are they thinking. I mean a holiday with Slytherin! I hope you two have realised that includes Malfoy"

Which made me wonder what were the Slytherin's feelings about this completely obscene idea? I looked over towards the Slytherin table and depicted his platinum hair from the sea of brown, blonde and black.

His face still had his normal languid, vacant expression. Perhaps he wasn't really even bothered. However I did find the same expressions of disgust on everyone Else's face.

Now that the looks and comments of objection had died down, Professor McGonagall began to speak again.

"I hope all of you have packed warm clothes because you will all be off to The French Alpes on a skiing holiday next week! Before the serious work begins.!"

Her effort of keeping the mood positive wasn't going to work. This was probably the worst start to out year everyone could have probably imagined.

The rest of dinner had a pretty low atmosphere for the 7th years in Gryffindor and Slytherin. Harry, Ron and I wondered up to bed with a pretty dull outlook on the rest of the year.

...

The first week back at school seemed to whiz by with no real definition between one day to the next, they all just seemed to blur into one.

Every day that ended was a day closer to the departure of the trip and no one was looking forward to it.

I was particularly upset because all the time being wasted on that wretched holiday I could spend studying for my N.E.W.T.S it was all a terrible idea in my opinion.

On evening before our departure and decided that I real should start packing and stop procrastinating. I hauled my navy blue holdall off the top of my wardrobe and began tossing clothes onto by bed next to the holdall in an un-orderly fashion.

I went into the bathroom and retrieved my toothbrush, toothpaste and flannel from the shelf and piled them inside my wash bag.

I roughly folded the clothes and stuffed them into any available space. Then I shoved several pairs of shoes into each of the side pockets.

"Thank goodness!"

I had finished the task I had been dreading, in under an hour and I didn't think I had forgotten anything.

I wondered down to the common room in an attempt to take my mind off what was going to happen tomorrow.

I found Ginny sitting in one of the plush scarlet armchairs with her feet propped up next to the fire.

"Hey Ginny!"

Ginny looked now woken from her subconscious state stared back at me with a fond expression

"Hey Hermione! Have you packed yet?"

Her tone was just as apprehensive as my about the forthcoming event. Luckily due to Ginny's involvement in the war she had been signed up for the holiday too, even though she wasn't in her 7th year.

"Yeah I just finished, how about you?"

Ginny took a slow breath in and stretched out her feet in the direction on the flames.

"No not yet, I can't really be bothered, I probably end up doing everything at the last minute, as normal."

I perched on the arm of the sofa opposite her and began to think about what kind of stuff they would make us all do together when we arrived at the resort.

"What do you think we will all be doing together once we get there?"

Ginny snorted in disgust dreading the idea of even acknowledging a Slytherin's presence let alone working together with one.

"I have absolutely no idea, but I refuse to anything I don't want to do even if it is compulsory."

I nodded in agreement but I knew that we would both end up doing all the stuff we really didn't want to do anyway.

I staggered back to my feet said night to Ginny and made my way back up to my dorm.

I slipped out of my jeans and shirt and sank underneath the scarlet quilts and blankets. I was asleep within minutes and when I awoke it would be the start of a week I was in a hurry to forget before it had even begun.

...

I yawned and leaned up from beneath the warmth of my bed and gazed over at the clock. I sprung out of my languid stance when I realised we had to be down in the Great Hall in less than an hour.

I rushed towards my wardrobe and pulled on a pair of navy blue jeans over my legs and then pushed my head through a red sweater,finally I put on a cream anorak coat and slipped into my leather pumps.

I grabbed my hairbrush and pulled it through my bush of curls in a desperate attempt to tame it. I got a breathe mint from my bag popped it into my mouth seeing as I had already packed my toothbrush. I swung both of my bags over my shoulder and headed out of my dorm and out of the porthole down towards the Great Hall.

As I reached the entrance hall I saw the chattering crowd all clutching onto their own luggage trying hard not to lose it in the cacophony.

I went up to Harry and Ron who still had foreboding expressions across their faces.

"Hey Guys. Have you seen Ginny?"

Their displeased expressions were soon lost when I struck up conversation with them.

"No I haven't seen her yet but she should be along soon, you know she always leaves everything to the last minute."

Ron gazed at me in the affectionate way he always did as he answered my question.

Remembering Ginny hadn't packed yesterday evening she was probably still upstairs rushing and panicking about getting down here on time.

My eyes flew around the room at the many faces in view. For the second time I noticed Malfoy. He was wearing dark coloured jeans and a round necked cashmere jumper that was pushed up just below his elbow.

He caught my gaze and I very nearly looked away but then he did something completeley unexpected. He winked at me with an arrogant smirk sprawled across his lips.

I blushed immediately in complete shock and he let out a slight laugh that I doubt would've been even noticeable to anyone next to him. I looked away when I saw the blur of red coming towards me and as I turned I saw Ginny, her hair disheveled and she was out of breath.

"Told you I would leave everything to the last minute"

I smiled at her knowing that she would have done too.

Everyone's loud voices suddenly died down as Professor McGonagall entered the room

"Right now everyone I would like everyone to follow me in an orderly line down towards the dungeon where we will be using the floo network to get to the ferry"

Everyone slowly shuffled into line and followed her down the dimly lit passagway that lead to the dungeons.

We arrived outside an empty classroom and I could see an absolutely enormous fireplace, with a granite hearth and a goblet fixed to the side of the wall filled with floo powder.

"I would like everyone to make their way inside in silence we don't want to lose anybody before we have even left"

We all gathered inside and made our way one by one over to the fireplace retrieved a handful of powder, joined hands with the person we had been paired with and vanished in a sudden cloud of emerald smoke.

I was getting a bit agitated after Harry, Ron and Ginny had been paired off with other people and most of the Gryfindors seemed to be being paired with a Slytherin.

I crumpled up my face when I heard my name called

"Miss Hermione and Granger and Mr Malfoy."

I looked over at him but he had already grasped a handful of the powder and was waiting for me to follow. I stepped into the fireplace by his side and he held onto my hand tightly before we vanished as everyone else had done.

A fraction of a second later we had arrived at the ferry and as soon as we had I dropped his hand and walked over to Ginny. I turned around to look back at him but he had already disappeared into the crowd of people.

"Ugh you had to travel with Malfoy? Bad luck Mione!"

I groaned in agreement and we headed off together to join Harry and Ron.

...

When everyone was on board the ferry we all gathered once again around Professor McGonagall so we could take a mental note of her instructions.

"Right everyone you can go and do whatever you want now but I want you all back here by 2:30 no excuses!"

Everyone went off in different directions searching for the nearest shop of restaurant were they could either sit down or purchase something they probably didn't need.

Me and Ginny waited until the room had cleared before we headed off too. The long corridors led to an array of different shops and cafes. I had never been on a non-muggle ferry before and I was eager to explore the differences.

We wondered into a cafe and bought something to eat and then sat down at a nearby table. To be honest there wasn't really much diference except the food was slightly different and the shops sold potions, magical jokes and disposable wands but all in all they were pretty much the same.

I drew my chair out from behind the table,

"Just going to the loos, I'll be back in a minute"

I walked swiftly over to the door marked ladies and as a did so I noticed a small alcove around the corner from the door and moans were coming from that area.

I poked my head around the corner and saw Malfoy and another attractive Slytherin girl pressed up against each other and kissing almost violently. His hands were on her hips and were slowly snaking there way upwards.

For some reason I had a wave of jealousy ripple through every vein in my body as I saw them both joined in this passionate embrace.

I took in a sharp breath when He saw me. His expression didn't change in the slightest apart from the look of lust in his eyes increased slightly.

I quickly ran back around the corner in embarrassment. I went to the loo and then sat back down with Ginny.

"You were a while what were you doing?"

"Oh nothing I just got caught up in something"

She didn't question my cryptic answer but just attempted to De-riddle it with her eyes.

We wondered around the shops for a while and ran into Harry and Ron a couple of times but we then made our way back to our parting place about ten miutes before we needed to be there.

We sat down and waited for the rest of them to arrive, but my mind was elsewhere, elsewhere... on Malfoy.

...

We arrived at the resort at around half five in the evening and everyone was absolutely exhausted not to mention it was absolutely freezing. We were in a ski resort, another way to make myself look like an idiot skiing!

Well, the resort was really nice it was like a really large log cabin and there was warmth pouring from the entrance. We all entered in a desperate attempt to restore feeling to our toes. It was beautiful inside as well. There was a large sky light in the centre of the ceiling and a waterfall was pouring down the flight of stairs that led to all the different floors.

There were signs saying, Jacuzzi, spa, restaurant, pool and restaurant. I shuffled slightly closer to Ginny now feeling slightly more positive about the week ahead of me and by the looks of everyone else's faces they were too.

"The Ministry must have dished out a lot of money for this place I mean it's gorgeous"

Ginny turned to face me

"I know and to think with all the financial problems they are going through at the moment with restoring it and everything."

I nodded and stared back around the room in awe.

"Right everyone you all have your room keys, go upstairs and unpack. There will be a session in the pool in 20 minutes and then dinner an hour afterwards."

I was actually quite looking forward to the rest of the evening. We were staying in a lovely hotel, it had great facilities and I was with Ginny.

...

We opened the door to our room that we had luckily been able to get for just the two of us seeing as Ginny was in the yeart below.

Ginny unzipped her bag and just started tossing her already screwed up clothes into the open drawers. Where as I started re-folding my clothes and began to neatly place them inside my section of the drawers.

"So are we going to go to the pool thingy?"

Ginny stopped tossing her clothes in all directions and began to think

After a couple of seconds she had made up her mind

"Yeah why not, I mean they may be horrible and all but there are some pretty nice looking Slytherin boys here that I wouldn't turn down the chance of seeing in their speedos"

She smiled at me and I laughed at her suggestive tone and threw a pillow gently at her.

We both changed into our bikinis, pulled a few light pieces of clothing over them grabbed a towel and went off towards the pool. I had always felt slightly awkward in a bikini, I thought I looked strange and uncomfortable, but Ginny on the other hand looked great. She came off as confident, sexy and sophisticated.

As we approached the pool we could here screams and shouts of the people already in the water. My mind had been completely distracted from Malfoy until I saw him, casually leaning against the end of the pool.

I now really didn't want to go swimming the embarassment of Draco Malfoy seeing me in a bikini was unthinkable.

"Ginny I really don't th..."

"Oh no just because there are loads of boys here doesn't mean you're backing out now because they are going to see you in a bikini!"

I looked at her desperately in an effort to make her give over and let me scuttle back up to the safety of our room and hide under layers of baggy clothing.

She could read my expression as if what I was thinking was literally written across my face. She simply shook her head and gestured me towards one of the wooden sunbeds where she had already spread out her red and white towel.

I reluctantly wondered over next to her and pulled off the thin layers of clothing I had on to disguise body. I was down to taking off the small pair of shorts, I couldn't bare to turn around and so faced the blue and white tiled walls the whole time.

Ginny was already had already taken off her excess clothes and was now dangling her legs into the water at the side of the pool, eagerly awaiting for me to join her.

I turned around and was relived when I saw that no one was watching me they were all too distracted by the splashing of the water and the games they were playing.

I suddenly remembered the Malfoy was close by and my eyes darted around as subtely as I could manage to try and find him. I saw him, his eyes were dark and he was staring directly at me with the same smirk he had on earlier today.

After that I quickly sat down next to Ginny at the side of the pool now feeling just as embarrassed as I had done a few moments ago.

"Ginny lets get into the water!"

"Yeah ok I was just waiting for you."

We slowly slid of the slippery curved edge that plunged into the mosaic bottomed water. Now that the rest of my body was out of view I was feeling slightly more at ease.

Ginny and I slowly walked over to the other end of the pool are feet still firmly at the bottom of the pool the water not yet being deep enough for us to have to actually swim.

I closed my eyes suddenly as a wave of water came flying towards me.

"Ginny!"

I was laughing she had splashed me right in the face. I knew my hair would now have a mind of its own. I ducked my head beneath the surface to try and flatten my disheveled mass.

I opened my eyes under the water and I blinked after I thought I saw a boy with the same white blonde hair as Malfoy swim nearly right next to me. I pulled my head back out of the water and searched for Malfoy, but I couldn't find him.

Ginny had obviously noticed the expression of anxiety and worry on my face

"What's the matter Mione, are you alright?"

I decided I was over-reacting and that I was taking far to much of an interest in Draco Malfoy

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"Ok I'll be back in a minute then I am just going to see if they have any plasters because I cut my toe a moment ago and it's stinging a bit."

"Oh! Do you want me to come with you?"

"Oh no it's fine I'll only be 2 minutes besides you'll get cold."

She made her way back to the metal steps that led out of the warm water. I could see a line of blood on the bottom of her large toe.

I was slightly more nervous now that Ginny had left. I decided to just swim a few lengths up and down the shallow end of the pool. I had been swimming for about five minutes and Ginny still wasn't back. I had begun contemplating whether to go after her or not and check to see if she is ok.

Suddenly I was jolted to a hault as I felt hands slither up around my waist and then they began to tavel further up my waist. Isqueaked in suprise at the feeling of someone else's hands other than my own on my bare skin.

I twisted round and I saw him. It was Malfoy, I tried to wriggle free, but his iron grasp held me firmly in place.

"Malfoy what the hell are you doing?"

I tried to portray anger in my voice but it didn't really come out as I hoped it would do. It was more curiosity mixed with confidence.

"Why don't you tell me?"

I felt his lips trace there way up my back and I let out a slight moan. But then his touch had gone and the lapping of the water was all I felt. I looked round to see where he had gone but all I saw was him walking back up the hallway and away from me.

Ginny was back seconds later. I was so confused, I mean the famous womanizer, Draco Malfoy had just made an attempt to seduce me. I could see this was going to be a very unpredictable week.

"Are you ok now Ginny?"

"Yeah I'm fine"

Ginny was giving me a searching look why were my emotions always displayed on my face, it was so inconvenient.

"I think we should get out now I mean dinner is in about 20 minutes"

We both headed back up the extravagant staircase to our room.

...

Dinner was over quickly and I wasn't feeling very hungry, more guilty seeing as I had just been seduced by my best friend's worst enemy and Harry and Ron were sitting directly opposite me.

Me and Ginny were in our rooms lounging around on our beds, I yawned and headed towards the chest of drawers over in the corner of the room.

"I'm getting ready for bead, It's getting late and I'm tired."

I rummaged around for my pajamas in the depths of the drawer searching for the only ones I had packed.

"Oh damn!"

"What's the matter?"

Ginny said sounding quite worried.

"I forgot my pajamas! Ugh I only packed that one pair the others I left in my dorm my accident."

"Well I only have one pair of pajamas with me, but I do have this"

She strode over to the drawers and pulled out a very short, silky nighty and it was also very low cut.

"Ummm... you don'y have anything a little less revealing do you?"

"No sorry that's all I've got"

"Ok thanks a lot I'll give it back to you I promise"

I quickly changed into the skimpy garment and walked over to my bed. I was slightly uncomfortable, not in front of Ginny of course, she was my friend and a girl. But it revealed quite a lot of leg and was extremely low cut even more so than I predicted.

"Wow Hermione! You look great in that. You know you can keep it, my gift to you"

"No Ginny, it's yours and I look absolutely awful in it!"

"No buts! I am not accepting no for an answer I wont take it back"

I smiled at her gratefully

"Thanks Ginny"

She smiled back at me.

I returned to the rummaging process and was rifling through my drawers in search of my purse, because I hadn't seen it a moment ago when I was searching for my pajamas.

"Oh dam!"

Ginny started laughing,

"What is it now? Forgotten all your underwear?"

"No I can't find my purse."

"Oh well did it fall out of your swimming bag because I did see it in there when you went down to the pool."

"Oh thanks Ginny!"

I quickly opened the plaid wooden door and entered the long winding corridor in search of my purse. I had forgotten that I was wearing the nighty but no one seemed to be around so I continued to search.

I hovered over the ground looking in every corner and crevice for my missing purse. I hadn't realised that I had moved further and further up the corridor drifting far away from the safety of our room.

I was getting a bit worried now, my purse had all the money I had brought with me inside it and I would have a pretty tough time without it.

"Looking for this?"

I jumped up from the floor in shock and saw Malfoy staring back at me.

"You scared me!"

I said as I snatched the denim purse from his hand.

"Nice dress!"

He whispered into my ear as he pulled back several strands of my hair.

"Malfoy stop it!"

"Stop what?"

"What you're doing"

"But you clearly like what I am doing"

Seconds later he had pushed me up against the wall and crashed his lips against mine. I didn't know how to respond, I didn't know what was happening. Everything was a whirl of colours and shapes around us, I could only feel his lips pressed firmly against mine.

He pushed my mouth open with his tongue and battled with my tongue inside our mouths. He rested his hand on my thigh. I had forgotten about the skimpy night dress I was wearing... but right now I didn't care.

He began kissing down my neck and across my shoulder blade. I was pushed firmly up against the wall so I neatly wrapped my legs around his waist.

We both heard movement from my room and we froze.

"Hermione are you alright? Have you found your purse?"

I looked into his eyes before I answered

"um no I am going to check out the swimming pool and if I can't find it I will go to lost property. Don't wait up I might be a while"

"Ok."

I felt guilty about lying to Ginny I had never lied to her before, but I didn't have time to feel guilty for long. He took my hand and led me down the corridor into his room. Of course he had a room all to himself that was too predictable.

The room was dark and he didn't turn the lights on, it suddenly occurred to me what I was doing. I was just about to jump in to bed with the school's bad boy.

"Malfoy I can't do this, I have to go"

I made an attempt at the door but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back into a tight embrace. I just couldn't bring my self to leave he felt so good.

"Malfoy what are we doing?"

"well lets find out!"

The thought of sleeping with Draco Malfoy made me feel like I was melting into a puddle on the floor.

He pushed me back onto the edge of his bed and began worming his way up my sides. I had never felt so good.

"Hermione you have no idea how gorgeous you are, do you?"

I couldn't even muster up a response and I just let out another moan. He laughed in almost appreciation.

His hand was running up and down the side of my leg again. He pulled me under the very appropriate emerald and silver quilts. I could feel his smoldering touch on my skin as he pushed Ginny's skimpy red nightdress aside.

I had sunk into oblivion. This was going to be a week to remember after all...

Ok next chapter will be up shortly hope you all enjoyed. Reviews good or bad would be much appreciated. :)
