Luxurious
Hermione sighed tiredly as she walked through Hogwart's halls for a final sweep of her patrol before heading back to her room. It had been a long few weeks of preparing for her N.E.W.T.S and handling her Head girl responsibilities. With the last of her N.E.W.T.S completed today, she was exhausted. All she wanted to do now was curl up in her bed with a good book and Pansy.
As she said her password to the water nymph in it's portrait, it had occured to Hermione that she had barely seen Pansy in the last few weeks. She thought about how nice it would be to fall asleep in her arms. She smiled at the thought as she walked into her room when a soft voice said
"I hope it's me that has you smiling like that. I would hate to think that you found a new 'study buddy' in my abscence."
Hermione's smile grew even more as her eyes came upon Pansy Parkinson sitting on her bed. Her legs were crossed and Hermione noticed that Pansy was still wearing her school uniform as her eyes traveled along Pansy's legs and past her skirt. One hand rested in her lap and the other held her up as she lounged on Hermione's bed like a sleek cat. Her smile was relaxed and her eyes shone playfully.
"As a matter of fact, I was thinking about you. I've missed you." Hermione replied, the tension of the last few weeks melting away.
Pansy's eyes seemed to shine brighter eventhough her smile stayed relaxed. "Good, I would hate to have to return your gift." She said.
"My gift.?" Hermione asked slightly confused. She couldn't think of any occasion that had come up that warrented a gift from Pansy.
Pansy nodded and motioned toward a box sitting next to her on the bed. Hermione hadn't even noticed the silver box with a deep green ribbon, when she'd entered her room.
She walked over to the bed and touched the satin ribbon with her fingertips before looking at Pansy curiously.
"It's just a little something for working so hard on the N.E.W.T.S" Pansy's eyes drifted down to the box before coming back to meet Hermione's. "Open it"
Hermione obeyed the gentle command and looked back at the box as she pulled at the ribbon. As the ribbon fell away smoothly, she took off the top of the box. She moved the silver tissue aside and gasped softly at what she saw. Her eyes widened as her fingers touched the blue pool of silk laying in the box. She gently lifted it out of the box and the shimmering silk took on the form of a dress, cool and flowing.
"Pansy..." Hermione said in awe. She may not have been that big on fashion but she was well aware that something like what she held in her hands cost more than a pretty penny. She looked at Pansy. "You shouldn't have, this is too much, I don't-" She began but Pansy cut her off.
"I should and I did. A treasure like you deserves to be treated like a queen, my queen, and that's what I intend to do."
Hermione looked back at the dress in her hands. Pansy leaned in and nuzzled Hermione's neck and Hermion leaned into the caress.
"Put it on. I want to make sure it's a perfect fit." She whispered before kissing Hermione's earlobe.
Hermione shuddered and nodded before walking off to her private bathroom. She undressed before stepping into the dress and pulling it on slowly. She slipped the spaghetti straps onto her shoulders before looking at herself in the mirror. She blushed at her reflection. The blue silk clung to her body like a second skin, the color enhancing her hazel eyes. The thin spaghetti straps converged into a low vee, both exposing and concealing her cleavage tastefully. The cool material clung to her and flowed past the curve of her hips, ending in a shimmering waterfall of blue that stopped at mid-thigh. She shivered slightly as cool air rolled across her exposed back and shoulders. She walked out of the bathroom shyly and asked,
"What do you think?" She looked at Pansy. A shiver ran up her spine and her face became hot again, this time for a totally different reason as Pansy gazed at her.
"Perfect..." Pansy breathed as she continued to stare at Hermione, lust starting a slow burn within her. Hermione smiled coyly as she walked over to Pansy who was still sitting on her bed.
She leaned over and whispered "Thank you for my gift." She placed a soft kiss on Pansy's neck, her pulse beating hard but steady against Hermione's lips.
"Dance with me." Hermione said after a moment and pulled Pansy to her feet.
Pansy laughed softly before pulling Hermione's body to hers and beginning a slow sway. After a moment Pansy said, "If you like this, just wait until we get your results."
Hermione was about to respond but Pansy silenced any protest she might have had with a soft kiss.
