Chapter 5

Soon we both shifted to Hermione's house. It was more like a mansion in the countryside. Farms, hills, forests and grasslands surrounded the white marble mansion. Blaise and I got separate rooms on separate floors. While he was on the first floor, I got the room on the second floor and screw my luck, the room was beside Hermione's. The second floor had only four rooms. One was Hermione's, then one was mine, one was used for drink storage and a little kitchenette for use and the last one was the library. So Hermione and I were alone occupants of the 2nd floor. Destiny has to play such jokes, doesn't it?

The first day, Hermione and Daphne gave Liam, Blaise and I the tour of the huge property. They had their farms, and pond and fishery, poultry, garden, and so much more. The mansion was of 3 floors, with 2 basements and a rooftop. The ground floor had 6 rooms, dining room, and a living room. The first floor had 8 rooms, a ballroom, balconies and spacious corridors. The first basement was the kitchen and the second basement was a large cellar.

After the tour, we dropped Blaise and Daphne on the first floor and proceeded to our floor. I was hungry and the dinner wasn't for another 2 hours so I made a turn for the kitchenette and she followed. We entered the room and she said

'I will make us some sandwiches. Can you go and grab the wine?'

I nodded. After we were done with our little snack time we sat on the couch with our wine glasses.

'How have you been?' she asked me.

'I am fine as such. We recorded a song the other day.' I replied.

'That's good. Really good!' She muttered.

We were staring at our glasses on then suddenly we were kissing each other. It was urgent and needy. We were fighting for dominance. I laid her back on the couch and was on top of her. I started kissing her jaw then her neck and then her shoulder. And her hands roamed freely on my upper body.

Soon we were inside each other, relishing the moment.

After we were finished we got dressed up and sat there awkwardly.

'So, what does this mean?' I asked her.

'I don't know, yet.' She said in a distracted voice.

'I can't keep doing this. You are Blaise's cousin and you are engaged and this is wrong on so many levels.' I told her.

'That didn't stop you an hour ago.' She snapped.

'You too never stopped. I… I can't seem to resist you. But this can't happen.' I said holding my head in my hands.

'I want to live Draco. Soon I would be married and bound. I want to live every moment and if that means shagging you or doing adventure or lying, then that's okay with me. I want to remember these last days and smile not gloom.' She said with shining eyes.

'If you are so against this then why marry?'

'Because there is not enough reason not to marry. So would you help me live these 10 days?' she asked.

'I would.' And with that promise, I made another promise that by her marriage day I would give her enough reasons to not to marry. Why I made that second promise, I didn't know but I just did. And I always keep my promises.

The next day, she took me to the farms. We ran in between the plants and had a picnic with Daphne, Ginny, Harry and Blaise. Liam and Ron were business partners and had gone on a business trip.

After having food, we decided to play games.

'I want to play tag.' Ginny said.

'C' mon Ginny, I think truth, dare or shots are perfect.' Daphne said.

'Ladies, as we are outdoors, the tag doesn't sound bad.' I said and saw Ginny pump her fist up. Daphne started to say but I stopped her with my hand. 'And we can play what Daphne suggested next time we all gather indoors. Sounds perfect?' I asked and everyone agreed with a smile.

And so we started tag.

We were running behind each other tagging and joking and just fooling around. The end of our game was quite epic. I was running to tag Hermione when I slipped and fell to the ground taking her down with me. I was lying on top of her and it was getting quite intense when Daphne jumped on my back crushing me even more in Hermione, and then Ginny, Harry and Blaise followed suit. I was squished.

When we all headed back to the mansion, we were all wrapped up in the dirt. We went to our rooms. I was so tired that after I took a shower I literally fell asleep the second my head touched the pillow.

The next two days we went on shopping and cake tasting and hundreds of works. Every time Hermione would drag me away from others and we would have a quick snogging session. We had it in dressing rooms and narrow alleys and the storage closet and library rows and secret passageways.

The 4th day we went to explore the forest cover within her property. We both were alone as Ginny, Harry, Blaise and Astoria went on a double date. I just had to ask Astoria to arrange it and she did. I think she likes Harry and I know Blaise somewhat has a crush on Ginny. So if those four end up in some kind of foursome I honestly won't be surprised. And Daphne had to decorate the mansion. So some alone time for Hermione and me.

We were moving deeper in the forest and I kept hitting something or other. I mean Hermione was wearing these Denim shorts and a loose white halter neck dress reaching her upper thigh, right above where her shorts ended. And her hair was up in a messy bun. And those leather boots. I mean how could you not get distracted?

I was wearing black shorts and a loose white tee paired up with my all-time perfect sneakers. When she came to call me down in my room, she told me I looked absolutely ravishing and we had a fierce snogging session on my bed. Her top was still askew and I could see that.

After a while, we reached a clearing and she jumped in excitement.

'We are here!' she exclaimed.

'Where exactly is here?' I asked still confused. I looked around and saw a path on my right going downhill. My left side was still the forest and the front I could see some kind of path leading down and I could hear the sound of water. I took three strides and went to her to only be shocked by the scene in front of me. There was a waterfall 90 degrees on left from where I was standing. The path leading downhill met the little pond at the bottom and I guess the place where I was standing was some sort of jumping place.

'I knew we would find it. You ready for a dip?' she asked me in an excited tone.

I could only nod because the scene in front of me was enchanting. She jumped and kissed me square on my lips before stripping. Once she was done, she gave me a wink and jumped. I saw her going in with a splash and afterwards, she was laughing. I could not resist and with childlike excitement, I followed suit.

I dived in the water and went underwater for a minute. I could see Hermione, searching around for me frantically. Then I swam closer to her and pulled her leg then surfaced to her screaming. Her face was horror-stricken and I chuckled. Upon seeing my face, anger crossed her face and then a glint look came. Before I could anticipate, she splashed a handful of water at my face and started laughing looking at my face with my long locks splayed on my face.

I looked at her evilly after moving my hairs back, and then I took her up in bridal style and dunked in the water taking her with me. When we resurfaced, she was looking at me mischievously and then she slowly came closer to me. I make out her upper body in water and when she moved like that, it was irresistible. She came even closer then draped her hands on my shoulders and came closer to my face. She was looking like any goddess at the moment and my breath hitched. She brought her mouth closer to my ears and muttered one word-'Loser!' and then smirked.

I looked at her and she began laughing. Oh no Hermione, you don't get to play a prank on Draco Malfoy. Payback!

With that I pulled her towards me and whispered seductively in her ears- 'Game has just begun.' And then I kept her close with my one hand around her waist pulling her closer. She shivered and I let my second hand run through her wet locks pulling her face closer to me. I brought her lips so close they were almost touching mine and then I gave her a sweet smile; which she returned. Then I lifted her slightly and dunked her again in the water. She resurfaced with a menacing look and a glare to which I put my hands up in surrender.

After having fun and some long make-out sessions, we came out of the water and got clothed. We sat and had lunch while discussing things.

'So, how you and Ron met?' I asked her out of curiosity. She flipped her wet hair back.

'At a wedding. One of my cousin's wedding, my mother nagged me in wearing fuchsia pink, the kind of pink that hurts, and she did my hairs in this complicated braid. Then she dragged me to meet her family friend and their children. She was babbling the whole time. Ron asked me for a walk and so we went on one. We talked and stuff. We went on a total of 3 dates. He is nice but he was so often on his business trips that we never had that much time.'

'And then our relationship lacked passion. We haven't even had sex. It was casual and would have been over but my mother and his mother are so hell-bent on our marriage.' She sighed.

'So if it was not for your mother, then you wouldn't marry him?' I asked sipping my wine.

'No, I don't think so.' She muttered.

'Have you guys ever kissed?' I asked.

'Not properly. Just once and it was damn awkward.' She said scrunching up her nose.

'How can you marry a guy you have kissed just once, and know just for a few weeks because I'm sure after all his meetings that's only a few weeks left.' I stated.

'You have your own life. You want to do things and I'm sure you won't be able to do it if you're married. Just say and do what you want.' I said hoping she'll hear the conviction and an extent of request in my voice.

A/N: I resisted my very best to not cut this chapter short and give you all an average length chapter. The struggle was real. So Draco has said his words, what'll Hermione do now. What do you all think this story will turn out like? Let me know what you feel.

Constructive criticism is always welcome.
