Chapter 30
Hermione's POV
"Mione!" I turned to see Ginny and Lavender waving enthusiastically as they came in the doors to the Lobby. They were the last group to arrive, and I was glad, since I could leave to hang out with them instead of waiting for more students.
"Ginny, Lavender!" I exclaimed, temporarily ignoring Ron and Harry, who were carrying their bags. "You guys look great!"
I love everything about the wizarding world, but I sometimes I can't help but miss some of the Muggle things, and one of those things are clothes. It was a nice hotel, so I had chosen a tube-top, knee-length dress with pink Hawaiian flower print. Ginny was wearing a short, blue spaghetti strap dress, and it matched her eyes beautifully. Lavender chose a denim mini-skirt with an off the shoulder top.
After greeting Harry and Ron, who were wearing the type of clothes any normal Muggle guy would wear, we went up to the desk to get their room keys. I went with them up to their room, and watched as they exclaimed over it as we had.
"Oh, man!" I heard a shout from one of the bedrooms, and Harry came running out. "There's an awesome stereo system in there!"
I laughed. It was strange, but I never really talked to anyone about Muggle things. This trip would be interesting, that's for sure.
I was sitting on the arm of the couch when all the sudden, music started blaring from the room. I recognized it as Good Charlotte, and I grinned. They were one of my favorite groups. I began singing along, and Lavender and Harry came out of their rooms and we were all laughing and singing together. It was fun to be able to connect with them on a Muggle thing, since normally my Muggle life, at home, was separate from my school life in the wizard world.
It was then that Ginny and Ron came out and gave us some strange looks. This just caused me to laugh harder, and it was a while before I had control again. Ginny winced. "What is that?" she yelled over the music, bringing her hands to her ears.
"Muggle thing," I stated, at the same time as Harry and Lavender. I grinned. "Harry, you really should turn it down, they're going to arrest us for disturbing the peace!"
He grinned slyly and pulled his wand out from one of the many pockets in his cargo shorts. "What fun would it be to be a wizard if not for little things like silencing charms?" I smiled and rolled my eyes, while he went to turn it down anyway, for Ginny's sake.
After exploring their rooms, they decided to go down to the beach. "Hermione, you wanna come?" Ron asked.
"No thanks. I was down there already before everyone got here. See you guys later, though!" They grabbed their towels, shouted goodbye, and they went one way down the hall while I went the other. When I got back to my room, I realized I didn't have a key. I knocked at the door, hoping someone was there.
I smiled at Draco when he opened the door. "Hi," I said, kissing him lightly once the door was closed. I saw that the tv was on, but the living room was deserted. "Where're Terry and Hannah?"
"Went to explore a little," he replied. "Did you want to go anywhere?"
"No," I decided. I definitely wanted to explore all of the shops and the hotel at some point in the next three weeks, but the idea of just lounging around, alone with Draco, was sounding better and better.
"Good." He grinned, snaking his strong arms around my waist, and pulled me with him as he flopped backwards onto the couch. "Me neither."
After a couple hours of watching tv with Draco, a knock came on the door. With the knowledge that Terry had a key and it must be someone else, we sprang apart. Draco got up to sit in the one-person recliner, and I paused to smooth out my dress before answering.
"Hey, Mione!" Harry greeted energetically. I smiled at him. "Do you want to go down to the beach to eat dinner with us? And Lavender and Ginny, too," he added.
"Umm, yeah, sure, guys." I could feel Draco's stare boring a hole in my back, and knew my body was blocking him from view from the hallway. "I'll meet you in the lobby in about 15 minutes, okay?"
"Yeah, sure, Hermione, meet you there," Ron replied, before they turned and retreated down the hallway. I shut the door carefully, hearing it softly click. I turned back and walked over to sit on the arm of Draco's chair.
"I'm gonna go down to the beach for dinner with Ron and Harry," I told him.
He looked up at me and smirked, but not the usual 'I'm-a-Malfoy-and- so-much-better-than-you' smirk. This smirk seemed to be specially reserved for me, and was more playful than anything. "Goodbye kiss?" he whispered softly, before cutting off my answer by pressing his lips to mine. He was quick to deepen it, opening my lips with his tongue and sliding it into my mouth. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me onto his chair so I was sitting on his lap.
We broke apart for air, and Draco started placing a trail of kisses down my jaw until he got to my neck. I giggled, and ran my hands through his hair, then down his sides and up his firm chest. Draco soon returned to my mouth, and we kissed for a while more before I remembered the time. "Mmm, Draco," I whispered, softly pushing him away. "I have to go." I kissed him softly once more before he released me, allowing me to get up.
I went into the room I was sharing with Hannah, and sorted through my clothes, looking for a nice yet casual outfit for dinner. I finally decided on a pink and blue diamond-checkered mini-skirt and a baby blue halter-top. I brushed my hair back, letting it flow down my back in a few loose curls, and applied a small amount of makeup. I took a last glance at the mirror and was about to leave when I noticed the dark spot on my neck, and peered closer at the mirror. 'Oh, damn,' I thought. I sorted through my makeup bag for my cover-up and applied it on my neck, making sure that the mark was no longer visible.
I knew that Draco was aware of the mark he'd given me, so before leaving to meet Harry and Ron, I stuck my tongue at him. His only response was to smirk, and I gave a little wave before heading down to the lobby.
"Hi guys, I'm so sorry I'm late, I couldn't find my shoes!" I gave the four students my made-up excuse when I saw them waiting by the stairs in the lobby.
"No sweat, Mione," Ron replied good-naturedly. I smiled at them and we walked together out to the beach and sat down at a small glass table with an umbrella and six chairs. A cute waiter handed us our menus, told us about the specials of the day, and left us to decide on what to order.
"Oooh," Lavender exclaimed. "Everything looks so good!"
"It's so expensive!" Ginny noted.
I had the answer to that dilemma. "Oh, don't worry a thing about that. Charge everything to your room, and Dumbledore said everything would be taken care of."
"Wow." Harry smiled. "Does that mean we can order movies and stuff on the tv, too?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
The waitress came back for our drink orders, and when she came back we all finally figured out what we wanted. None of us could really decide, so we decided to order four meals and share between all of us.
We were finishing our dinner and talking when suddenly I spotted a blond head walking toward our table. And it wasn't Draco.
"Hey, Hermione!" Tim called. He came over and stood next to me.
I forced a polite smile. "Hi, Tim. Guys, this is Tim, I met him on the beach this afternoon. Tim, this is Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Lavender." Tim smiled at all of them, and then looked at me expectantly. "Um, you can, you know, sit, if you want..." He didn't need to be asked twice, and Tim sat down and my friends began to talk to him politely, asking him about himself.
We all stood up and began walking back to the hotel, Harry and Ginny and Ron and Lavender hand in hand. We stopped at the door to say goodbye to Tim.
"Oh, by the way, Hermione, where's your boyfriend? Say hi to him for me, will you?"
My eyes widened and I snapped my head up to see my friends' reaction.
