Chapter 32
Hermione's POV (sorry, I know it's been awhile since you've heard from Draco)
I awoke the next day in very high spirits, and it wasn't until I was halfway through taking a shower when I remembered that I still had to talk to Harry and Ron about what happened last night. It damped my spirits some, but for the most part I was really happy. I was excited, because it was the first day we would be going around to explore in our groups, and we would start working on our assignments.
The teachers had each given us a few different places to visit while we were here, and it would count for a grade in their class. We would visit the place, observe, and come back and write a paper on it. We had a few of those, but they wouldn't take long, and I, for one, planned to fully enjoy my visit and not get too hung up on school.
I dried off with one of the hotel's fluffy white bath towels and wrapped it around me to head back to my room to pick an outfit. The weather report had shown that it would be almost 90 degrees today, so I chose a pair of short blue-jean shorts and a dark blue halter-top that showed just the tiniest amount of skin at my belly, but not enough to be distasteful. I picked out a light blue bellybutton ring with a blue butterfly. I carried my clothes back into the bathroom to dress, and I put in my bellybutton ring, a pair of matching earrings, picked out a sapphire ring, and fastened a silver chain with a small heart with a sapphire around my neck. I dried my hair, combed through it so that it was straight with a few loose curls flowing down my back, and applied a small amount of silvery blue eye shadow.
Taking a final glance-over in the mirror, I was somewhat surprised that I was pleased with my reflection. On a whim, I pulled some light pink glossy lip shine from my cosmetic bag and swiped it across my lips before slipping it into my pocket.
I came out into the living area to find Hannah, who had already finished in our bathroom, and Terry sitting on the couch watching MTV. I saw the show that was on and laughed, wondering how Hannah had explained to Terry what a fraternity was. "Morning guys," I greeted, plopping into the chair with my legs hanging over one of the arms.
"Morning," Terry replied unenthusiastically, his gaze glued to the television where two guys were jet-skiing.
"Hey Hermione, you look great!" Hannah smiled. She was wearing a pair of khaki shorts and a pink spaghetti strap.
"Thanks, Hannah, so do you. Is Draco coming? I'm starving."
"Should be out any minute," Terry replied mechanically, still watching Fraternity Life. No sooner had he spoken than Draco strolled in from the room he shared with Terry, wearing black cargo pants, a gray t- shirt, and with his hair spiked up the way I liked it. He smiled at me and took in my appearance, and I smiled back.
"Anyone up for breakfast?" he called. I jumped up off the chair, eager to get some food, and went to slip on a pair of cute blue flip-flops.
"Come on, Terry," Hannah laughed.
"No, wait, I need to finish this!"
I rolled my eyes. "Grant doesn't make it into the frat, now come on, let's go!" He sighed and stood up, shoving his feet into a pair of tennis shoes before closing the door after him, and we all headed down to breakfast in the hotel.
************************************************************************
I stuffed the last bite of my bagel into my mouth before throwing away my plate and Draco walked with me to join the others by a pillar near the stairs. "Okay, guys, where to first?" Terry inquired. Hannah and I looked at each other and shrugged.
"Well how about we take a look at the hotel aquariums, to get that assignment out of the way," Draco suggested.
"Sounds good, ready?" Everyone nodded. "Let's go."
We began walking through the aquariums inside the hotel, pointing out different species of fish and continuing to be amazed at how many there were. My favorite fish was a small yellow one with a black stripe down it's middle. We spent about two hours walking slowly around, looking at the fish and chatting. Outside, we saw the shark pool and the stingrays, and Draco and Terry and Hannah each pet them. I'd never been very fond of any kind of fish, so I passed.
"Oh come on Hermione!" Draco teased. "Come pet the ray, it's really sliiimy, and scaaaly..." I crossed my arms across my chest and turned my back to him. "Aw, I was just teasing," he laughed, putting his arm around my shoulders. I stuck my tongue out at him. "Mione, you know I was kidding, right?" he asked, sounding a little concerned.
I turned and smiled at him. "Yeah, I know."
He laughed. "Okay. I think we're done here," he said as Hannah and Terry came up to stand next to us. "Do you guys wanna go to the pool?" We had passed one of the pools on our way around, and it was completely empty. I nodded enthusiastically, ready to get away from the fish.
"I think we'll go back to the beach instead," Hannah told us. "But first let's go change." We all headed back up to our room, and I made a mental note to wear my swimming suit under my clothes next time.
Once in my room, I picked out a different swimming suit than I had worn to the beach. This one was a red bikini with white Hawaiian-style flowers on it, and it brought out the slight shade of red in my auburn hair. I pulled on a pair of white jean shorts over top, grabbed a towel, and headed out to meet the others at the door. "Mione I love your bathing suit!" Hannah exclaimed. She had on a blue tube top for the top piece, and was wearing khaki shorts, and I thanked her and returned the compliment.
We parted in the hallway, Terry and Hannah going right to go to the beach, and Draco and I continuing straight to one of the smaller pools. "We'll see you guys later!" I waved. When we arrived, I happily noted that the pool was still deserted. I was looking forward to some time alone, relaxing, with Draco.
The small pool was almost hidden, surrounded by fake rock. Tall, overhanging trees shaded it from most of the sun. There were a few lounge chairs sitting right beside the pool, and I set my towel on one, sitting down to put on sunblock.
"Mione, I don't see any fish," Draco snickered, standing up. "I think these waters are sting ray-free, you can swim."
I looked up at him with a mischievous glint in my eyes. I stood up, and slowly sauntered over to him. I slipped my arms around his neck, and he raised an eyebrow at me. "Oh, really?" I whispered into his neck, my breath fluttering on his skin. His hands automatically went to my waist, and I shivered as he touched my bare skin.
I slowly trailed small kisses up his neck, pleased with his responsive "Mmmm". When I reached his mouth, he immediately responded, kissing me back with passion. Slowly, my tongue still exploring his mouth, I brought my hands down from his neck and slid them up his stomach and chest on top of his shirt.
Abruptly, I pulled away, and he looked at me in confusion and disappointment. I smiled wickedly, and leaned forward to whisper to him, making sure he felt my hot breath on his skin and my lips brushed his ear. "Don't make fun of me." And with that, I gave him a strong shove, and he fell backwards into the water, t-shirt and all.
I was still laughing when he surfaced, and he half-heartedly glared at me, swimming up to the edge. "Ooooh, you're gonna pay for that, Miss Hermione!" he yelled, grabbing my leg.
I bent down to steady myself, and he caught my arm, pulling me into the water with him, still wearing my shorts. I came up sputtering, and splashed him a little, then began swimming to the shallower part, so I could stand.
Draco, of course, being taller than me, could already touch, and he advanced on me. He quickly caught up, and grabbed my wrist. "I hope you don't think you'll get off that easy." He smiled as I turned to face him, and he slowly turned me so my back was against the side of the pool.
Repeating my actions from earlier, he nuzzled and kissed my neck, making me giggle and try to shrug away from him, but not really wanting him to stop. The side of the pool was digging into my back, but I didn't really care.
We were so caught up that we didn't notice when two people rounded the corner on their way back to the hotel.
