Distance

Gone

She couldn't breathe, she pushed with her legs and came up out of the water gulping air, but still staying enough underneath to cover herself, he was swearing and climbing out of the tub soaked completely, she looked up at him wiping the water out of her eyes and coughing a little, then they both started laughing hysterically.

"Why did you DO that?" Draco asked taking off his shoes and tipping them upside down still laughing a little, she started draining the tub and grabbed a towel, "I don't know, you were so close and I didn't know what else to do," she said getting up out of the tub and squeezing her hair, he stood up straight taking off his robe and hanging it on the holder near the sink then turned around.

She was right there in front of him, she was just below if his chin, they looked at each other, then he kissed her, she put her hands around his neck and gave in again, this is what she wanted, she knew it now, she wanted to be with him, and she hoped he felt the same about her.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, rubbing her sides through the towel, his hair wasn't back so it tickled her closed eyes while they kissed she smelled his sent of peppermints and smiled, he pulled his head back up and looked her in the eyes, he smiled at her, she sighed, and then there was a knock and yelling at the portrait door, they snapped their heads towards the bathroom door, she tightened the towel around and he ran out the door to answer it.

"Mr. Malfoy, you and Miss. Granger will report to Professor Dumbledores' office, immediately," it was Professor McGonagal. He nodded then closed the portrait, Hermione was already in her room getting dressed, he grabbed another pair of robes and shoes and jumped into them, then him and Hermione left on their way to his office.

"What do you think has happened?" Hermione said between breaths, they were practically running down the corridors to the gargoyle, he muttered and I don't know then said the password and the statue jumped aside and they ran up the stairs.

They burst through the door, then stopped, Chanel was sitting in a chair in front of Dumbledores' desk and he was standing behind it reading a piece of parchment. He looked up then motioned them to sit down.

"Thank you for coming quickly, Mr. Potter has gone missing, and this is all we have," He said passing Hermione the piece of paper, she looked through teary eyes at the map on the paper, there was an X where the lake was then dotted lines to another place, and it said at the bottom in curvy lines that the Heads are to go and no one else, she wiped her eyes then passed the paper to Draco, Chanel was sniffling in her chair, as she reached up to wipe her eyes, her sleeve pulled up and Hermione saw black ink on her right arm, she thought nothing of it, and faced Dumbledore.

"Chanel found the paper in her room and came straight to me, we have no choice but to send you two to find him, but we will be in contact at all times, here," he passed Draco and Hermione a weird looking device, "A microphone professor?" Hermione said clipping it to her robe collar, he smiled then looked at Draco fumbling with it to hook it imitating Hermione, "It shows location and there is a camera device in it where we can see everything and hear everything that goes on, "Wow," Draco whispered, Hermione rolled her eyes at his lack of knowledgement of muggle things.

"Go back to your common rooms and pack a few things, then go down to the lake, I will be there waiting for you two," Dumbledore said, they nodded then left his office and walked in silence to their common rooms.

"Who do you think took him," Hermione said as they both went into the bathroom to pack hygiene things, "It's obvious isn't it?" Draco said grabbing his hair gel, Hermione took the gel out of his hands and put it back in the cabinet, "Honestly, we aren't going to have a bathroom and full length mirror," she pushed all of her brushes, eyeliner, eye shadow, etc. into her cosmetics bag, then Draco grabbed that and dumped it out then picked up her hair brush and handed it to her, he smirked, she scowled.

They made their way down the lawn to the lake where Dumbledore was waiting, he attached the microphones to their robes, told them to be very careful then handed them the map and they were off.

They took the first step into the Forest, it was already pitch black, "We'll make camp in an hour ok?" Hermione said swinging her legs over a fallen tree, "How? We didn't bring anything," Draco said tripping on a stump, "Speak for yourself, I packed a tent," he stopped and stared at her, "Why the hell did you bring a tent to school?" "I didn't I transfigured my raincoat to it ok?" She said tripping also, he laughed at her then bumped into a tree, she stopped and fell to her knees holding her chest laughing so hard she teared, he massaged the top of his head and frowned cursing under his breath then walked on. She caught up still giggling.

Draco was groaning and dragging his feet a few hours later into the forest, "Alright we'll stop, help me put this things together," Hermione said tugging the tent out of her bag, he looked at her and pulled out his wand and pointed it at the tent and instantly it sprang up all put together, he smirked, "Oh shut it!" she said taking off her shoes and climbing in, he came in after her.

"And stay on your own side," she said getting out her blanket and putting a rolled up shirt under her head, -yeah sure- he thought, he lightly took her shoulder and turned her over and kissed her she groaned, giving in again, his hands were on her shoulders with one in her hair, and hers were around his neck, he was fully on top of her, he tore of the microphones and stuffed them in her back and put a silencing charm on it, just in case, he got the message and unbuttoned her robes and she did the same, he left her swollen lips and started kissing her neck, she giggled.

"I love it when you laugh," he said into her neck, his hot breathe made her arch her head, his hand was making its way under her skirt, she closed her eyes, then without warning there was a scurry of little feet right outside the tent. She sat up fast, it sounded like a rat, she HATED rats, it was still dark and they couldn't see the rat biting a hole in the tent, neither did Hermione see the resemblance of the rat, that she knew this one by the name of Scabbers.
