Drown
Draco had learned to swim the conventional way: in a quiet, balmy pool in the manor's basement. It had been a controlled environment, safe and easy to navigate. Predictable and dull.
Hermione was the opposite.
The woman cut through the world like a river, with quick currents and treacherous curves. Her still waters beckoned; Draco knew they ran deeper than he dared venture on a single breath.
He didn't care. He wanted the risk, the danger, and the fight of loving someone he couldn't control.
And if he drowned, then so be it.
At least he would drown in her.
