Chapter 2
Normally after spending so much time with one person, people tend to get easily annoyed or frustrated, but this was not the case with Harry and Hermione. The two had a wonderful time together visiting Hagrid, eating with the few teachers and Hufflepuffs remaining, staying up late talking about nothing in particular, and just enjoying each other's company. Sadly, they were still remaining at a friendly and platonic level, though both wanted to be more.
The day before Christmas Eve, Harry and Hermione were sitting in the common room together when Hermione abruptly said, "I'll be right back."
Harry didn't question where she was going, he decided that this would be a good time to sit quietly by himself and gather his thoughts.
Hermione went up the stairs to the girl's dormitory and hurried back down carrying a black bag. She smiled at Harry as she left the common room. She walked down the corridor and went into the prefect's bathroom (she was Head Girl, so she had access to the bathroom). She filled up the enormous tub and soaked in a warm, relaxing bubble bath. Hermione was so relaxed she didn't hear the door open.
Harry entered the bathroom, and to his surprise, found the huge bathtub filled with water and bubbles. Then he noticed Hermione, only the top of her head visible over the rim of the great tub.
"Hermione, I'm sorry! I didn't know you were in here," he stammered, blushing.
Hermione's eyes snapped open in surprise. "Harry!" she said, stunned and embarrassed to see him.
"I'll be out in a minute," she murmured. Harry politely waited in the hall for his friend to exit.
The door swung open and Harry turned to face Hermione. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked. Her wet hair framed her face and cascaded over her shoulders. Her skin seemed to glow and the look in her eyes made her seem much more relaxed than usual. She wore a blue silk kimono style dressing gown, and she looked beautiful in it. It didn't show much; it went down to her knees and was tightly closed around her chest, but Harry couldn't believe how pretty it looked on her, it made her look more feminine, and the color made her skin seem to glow.
Harry snapped out of his trance, he had no idea how long he'd been staring. Luckily Hermione didn't seem to notice.
She simply smiled at him and said, "See you in the common room." With that, she turned and strolled down the hall.
Harry shook his head and went into the bathroom to take his shower.
