Draco's Desires
Part Eleven
Children Of The Chamber
*~~~~~*
I tossed off my clothing to reveal my swimming trunks underneath. No need to change…I was all set! To be prepared is a beautiful thing.
I plummeted into the water and immediately felt better about everything. Why, I could have hugged Potter!
Speak of the devil, he was pacing around the edge of the pool. "You know, it really is beautiful here. It's no wonder you both like it so much, with all this rainbow light." Nice of him to try to make conversation.
I paddled over and rested my arms on the edge of the pool. "Why don't you come in? Take your clothes off."
He hesitated. "I can't just throw my clothes off."
"Why not? Ginny and I did it."
"I'm trying to forget."
"You're too bashful, Harry. Just stick your foot in here. You'll feel different."
"What would this pool do to change my mind?"
I floated on my back. "You'll just be a happier person. Trust me." Trust me. What was I thinking? The git would never trust me.
Ginny came running down the passage, now clad in a green one-piece swimsuit with a sheer little skirt attached. "Ta-Da!" Potter and I gawked at her. She was small and young, but she would have one hell of a body someday soon.
She walked up to Harry. "Why don't you come in? You can swim in your boxers…they're like a swimsuit, for the most part, aren't they?"
"Hell, swim naked!" That was my comment, of course, to which I snickered at. I felt like a nutter and was loving every minute.
He paled. "No…I don't think so." He gave me a 'Perfect-Potter-Look.'
Ginny hit him with a sad face. "Please?"
He looked at me. I grinned appealingly at him. "Come on, Harry. You're missing all the fun!" I splashed at him.
Some of the water hit him on his bare shins. He looked down at his wet legs and considered. "It does feel like nice water. Why not? But I'm wearing my shorts." He stripped off his tee-shirt and pulled off his shoes and socks. He was obviously broader than I was, and more tanned and muscular. Maybe he wasn't such a wimp. But I was still better looking, in a pretty-boy kind of way. I smirked.
Once he was down to his shorts, Ginny gleefully pushed him into the pool and plummeted in after him. I paddled over to Potter. "So, Harry-Boy…how does it feel?" I wrapped Ginny in my arms as she floated by.
"It's really nice. Warm, but refreshing." A decent description, although I would personally have called it Bliss.
We horsed around for a bit and then floated around for awhile in silence, soaking up the life and power from the water. Finally Ginny sighed. "I never want to go home again."
"Me neither," Potter murmured.
Ginny climbed out of the pool and lay on the side, one hand dangling idly in the water. Potter went over to the other side of the pool to explore the waterfall. Ginny and I had discovered a lot of jewels and other pretty objects under the water over there, and I'm sure Potter was regarding them with as much interest as we had.
I used his absence to climb out and lie by Ginny. She rolled so that she was lying half on my chest. "I'm glad Harry came in the pool, aren't you? He's fun."
I nodded. "Actually, I am." We had had a rousing game of splashing earlier, and having Potter there had made it fun. I love a little friendly competition. But I had other things on my mind at the moment. Ginny's face was inches from mine. "Kiss me," I commanded.
Ginny looked into my eyes and hers were tinted with green. "Kiss me."
I grasped her and pulled her down so that I could kiss her passionately. We were no longer children; we were the rulers of this place. Dark Lords.
This didn't last long. A shove from Potter sent me flying back into the pool. When I surfaced he had Ginny in his arms. "She's mine." He said coolly.
"No, she's mine!"
"Mine……"
But neither of us had said that. The three of us looked up at the ceiling, drawn by this voice.
"His…" said Ginny and pulled away from Potter.
"His…?" I looked at Potter, who was as drawn as I was. I thought Ginny was my girlfriend. Oh well…the voice was more powerful than we were.
Ginny had risen and was slowly walking towards the main chamber, wrapped up in her warm towel. Potter and I tossed my towel around our shoulders and walked together, following her. Funny, this really didn't seem that abnormal at this point. This voice was someone we had to listen to.
We emerged into the main Chamber and fell into our places in front of the statue of Slytherin. The three of us knelt down, Ginny a little bit in front of me and Potter, since we were sharing my towel, oddly enough.
Ginny looked up at the statue and cried out. "Hail Salazar Slytherin.
"Hail Slytherin!" I yelled without thinking.
"Hail Slytherin," Potter echoed, but not with quite as much conviction as Ginny and I. I looked at him and saw that his eyes were even brighter green than usual. I knew that mine must be green too. As for Ginny's, hers were like emerald fire.
She turned and walked towards us, her towel draped around her like a cloak. "We are the Heirs to Slytherin. We must always stay together to protect each other. We are Dark Lords."
"Dark Lords." I clasped Ginny's hand in mine.
"Dark Lords…" Potter grinned maniacally.
Ginny leaned over and kissed us each in turn, running her hands through our hair. I wanted her like mad at this point. Once this was done, she keeled over and we caught her. She was unconscious immediately. I saw Potter starting to slump over her, his eyes closing. I felt a stab of fear before my mind began to grow fuzzy. We had called ourselves the Dark Lords. Were we really Dark Lords and Heirs to Slytherin? Or were we just playing a game? A game. This was supposed to be a game. A summer swim, and that's all. No! No… I fell forward and then I knew no more.
