Chapter13: I Do Declare Captain Butler
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day was Sunday. Hermione didn't see Draco all day. Not even at meals. "Why is he avoiding me?" she thought as she entered her room to get ready for bed. "Oh well, this is Draco I'm talking about. I don't think I'll ever understand him and why he does the things he does."
She pulled on her favorite nightgown. She loved it because of its satin material that was so soft and felt so light. It was long (about three inches above her ankles) and had slits that came up a foot above her knee. That meant she could move freely in it to. Her room was too stuffy so she decided to go outside on the balcony (which she found the day before behind the thick curtains). The cool breeze wafted about her, softly lifting the hair away from her face. She started humming the same song. "What is that song?" she thought. Hermione heard her thoughts just as she thought them, but she didn't say it. It was Draco from the other side of the balcony.
"Oh." she said spinning around, "I didn't know you were out here." When she faced him she saw that he was in his pajamas. Long, green, silk pants and no shirt. "Day-um he's hot!" she thought. The she realized that she was in her pajamas. The light material wasn't such a plus now. She felt naked. She wished suddenly that the lace on the low cut front was thicker and that the slits on the sides weren't as long.
"I've been here for a while." he replied again eyeing her from head to toe. Now she really felt naked.
"Oh."
"I asked you a question. What song is that? I heard you humming it last night."
"Oh ermm I dunno. I've forgotten the words... Hey! That means you can hear stuff I do in my room. Well now I know not to say anything I don't want you to hear in there."
"Like I want to hear anything you have to say."
"Sure, Whatever." she said blowing a curl out from in front of her face.
"By the way, nice nightie."
"Oh you ill bred nasty thing! I didn't expect to see anyone out here!"
"Sure you didn't." he said rolling his eyes.
"I did not. Why would I find it necessary to impress you?"
"Because I am devilishly charming and you know it," he teased. Then Draco pulled her to him and said "My dearest Hermione. I can no longer go on living without you," he was still teasing. Then he bent his head down as if he were going to kiss her, but before he could, SMACK! Hermione slapped him playfully but hard. "Oy that hurt, Hermione!" Since he wasn't wearing a shirt the slap across the shoulder stung and left a red handprint. "I was trying to be romantic!"
"You weren't and you know it. You were teasing me! Then she teased, "Well I do declare Captain Butler..."
"Who's Captain Butler?"
"Oh that's right you don't know about Gone With the Wind."
"What's Gone With the Wind?"
"Only THE greatest love story ever, except for the end. I'll never understand why it ends the way it does."
"So I take it that it wasn't a happy ending."
"No, Rhett, that's Captain Butler, leaves Scarlett."
"Why?"
"Well you'll have to read it to find out now won't you?"
"Me, read a muggle book? You must be daft."
"It's really good. You really do need to put your prejudice behind you."
"Now don't start in on that. So what's this Rhett like?"
"Perfect! Well, except for the fact that he left Scarlett, but besides that he was the perfect man."
"Hmm, now what does goody-goody Granger define as perfect?"
"He's tall, hot, very buff, yet graceful, witty, sardonic, yet romantic, and most importantly..."
"Ok, Ok, I get the picture," said Draco with a slightly annoyed air.
"Jealous are you?" said Hermione with a mischievous smirk.
Draco snorted, "Yea suurrreee."
Hermione laughed to, then leaned against the balcony rail and looked out over the campus. Finally Draco broke the silence, "I'm going to bed... Care to join me?" he said with a wink and then pinched her cheek.
"Oh you loser!" she hit him again. Harder.
"Ow! I was only joking!"
"I know, but it's fun to hear the high and mighty Mr. Malfoy say ow!"
"Oh shut up."
"I'm going to be now... My bed. `Night." She walked into her room and closed the door.
