I return! (Lovely author's note isn't it?)
The couple journeyed down the hallways and eventually came out in Hermione's bedroom. Draco pulled himself from the whole before assisting Hermione with the identical task.
"Come along." Draco began walking out the door.
"Where are we going?" Hermione questioned.
"We both need to bathe." He told her neutrally.
She opened her mouth to object but then realized he was correct, she hadn't bathed in three days. She shrugged and followed.
They came to a waterfall that ran orange, but the pool it poured into was of the clearest blue Hermione had ever seen. She was going to ask about the water but thought better of the inquiry.
Draco removed his clothing quickly and slid into the water. Hermione watched his muscles flex and relax as he swam to the waterfall, fascinated. He turned to regard her. "Come on." He told her.
Hermione shrugged, waited until Draco's back was turned, undressed hurriedly and practically leaped into the water.
Draco turned at the splash and grinned at Hermione who was floundering in the water, attempting to straiten herself. He caught her eye and gestured for her to come where he was. She shook her head. He sighed and glided to her. She recoiled against the side.
He raised her chin up to meet his eyes "You need to wash your hair, come." He swam back to the waterfall. She stayed a moment, thinking, before joining him. He cradled her head in his hands as the orange water flattened it.
Suddenly all the lights went out plunging the room into darkness. Hermione snapped her head up "What happened?"
She felt Draco's breath on her ear "Power surge, the lights will return momentarily."
Hermione swallowed. She was in a pool, naked, with someone so good looking they should be arrested.
While entwined in these thoughts she forgot about Draco's presence until she felt his tongue stroke across her throat. She gasped "Don't do that." She whispered.
"I have a rather unhealthy fixation with drops of water, there was one sliding down your neck, I had to catch it." He replied innocently.
He ran his palms along the sides of her body "Or I could be a compulsive liar." He whispered softly. "Which would you believe?"
"The second choice," Her voice was a thread of sound. "Draco you can't possibly." She trailed off as his hand moved to cup the junction between her thighs.
"Can't possibly what?" His voice rang with amusement as he slid a finger into her.
She tried to force her brain to think but failed. Then she felt his hand leave her completely to rest on her shoulder.
"What are you doing?" She was partially disappointed, partially pissed and partially relieved. She went with pissed.
"You said I can't possibly, I'm merely being obedient."
She narrowed her eyes at the darkness "Since when are you obedient?"
She heard a low chuckle "Since five seconds ago."
"But."
She felt strong arms circle her from behind "Are you saying you don't want me to be obedient?"
Hermione considered this, it was as lose/lose situation. If she said yes, he'd never do anything she said, but if she said no."Yes." She decided quickly.
Draco raised his eyebrows. He hadn't expected that. And so he took her and began their new life.
**********************FOURTEEN YEARS LATER*************************
A slim, blonde girl burst through the doors of Malfoy manor. Dropping her parchments and parcels she walked into the banquet hall where Draco and Hermione sat talking peacefully.
The girl flopped down into a red velvet chair and sighed heavily. Hermione furrowed her brow "What's wrong sweety?" She walked to her and draped her arm around her "Did someone annoy my baby girl?"
"Mom! It was just this guy. He called me a stuck up pureblood." The girl answered.
Hermione nodded and shared a glance with Draco. "Just promise me one thing honey." Hermione said seriously.
The girl looked up at her mother, concern etched on her features.
Hermione smiled "Never go to your ten year reunion."
At this Draco burst out laughing. The girl shrugged "I don't get anything they say anyway."
THE END
There are we happy now! Until Gotcha! Tootles
