Ch. 26 A Glorious Honeymoon
Draco lay in a hammock outside the honeymooners' small but cozy bungalow that they rented for a few days. After the wedding, Hermione and he hopped on his broomstick and flew away to Morocco for a few days of rest and relaxation before N.E.W.T.s, graduation, finding a job, finding a home, and, more importantly, before the baby comes.
They found the little hut right along the beach, where the crystal clear waters stretched out for miles and the warm sun brightened up all of the tropical flowers. It was a 3 roomer; the bedroom (small but spacious), the bathroom (total luxury) and a kitchen. Each night Draco would cook Hermione a fabulous meal, consisting off an array of spices and colors, textures, and nutritional. In the mornings, they were greeted by the song of the native birds and sun pouring in from the window. A glow had returned to Hermione's cheeks that had been absent for a very long time and no longer were her shoulders weighed down by her problems.
The afternoons had been spent lounging on the white sand beaches and playing in the calm waters. They enjoyed getting tanned and walking around little villages looking at the architecture and seeing the sights and sounds. Each evening after they finished their meal, they would go out onto the hammock and watch as the sun dropped behind the ocean's line and waited for the stars to come out in their millions before returning inside and making love to one another. And afterwards, they would talk and laugh until falling asleep in each other's arms.
Draco swayed back and forth in the warm tropical air as Hermione came in from the kitchen with smoothies for her and him. She was wearing a turquoise sarong and her hair was lazily pulled up into a clip. The sound of her flip flops alerted him that she was behind him.
"Hello there, Mrs. Malfoy," he smiled and kissed her.
"Afternoon, Mr. Granger," she teased. "Here, I made this for you. It's my first time trying to make smoothies. How do you like it?"
"What's in it?" He asked cautiously.
"Papaya, strawberries, mangos, and oranges. Give it a sip."
"Well, here's to our health!" Drank took a gulp of Hermione's smoothie and immediately spit it out.
"What?!" Hermione gasped with a horror stricken face.
"Too sweet. Much much MUCH too sweet."
"I suppose 43 packages of sugar is a bit much. Here, wanna try mine? It's only got 2 packages of sugar."
"It's okay, you have your smoothie. I'll take your word for it." He put down the glass and pulled her onto the hammock with him.
"Oh honey I don't wanna go back," Hermione whined. "Can't we just stay here for the rest of our lives and raise the kids here?"
Draco laughed. "Boy that'd be nice. I wish we could, but running away from reality won't do us any good." He kissed her forehead and she sighed.
"I know, but it sure does sound like a good idea." Draco laughed and they swung back and forth quietly on the hammock.

"Draco, Draco, wake up!" Hermione jumped.
"Huh..? What is it Hermione?" Draco questioned groggily.
"It's so beautiful out! Let's go find some waterfalls!!"
"You are waking me up early to go find waterfalls?" He opened his eyes and surely enough, Hermione was standing in front of him wearing a tank top, cargo shorts, hiking boots and a bottle of water.
"Yes, now let's go!" She threw Draco a pair of clothes. "I'll be outside waiting."
Draco moaned as he reluctantly got out of his nice warm bed and put on his clothes. He grabbed a swig of orange juice and put on his shoes before going outside.
"Okay, I know exactly where I'm going. The waterfalls aren't that big and you can swim in the lagoons. There are supposed to be all of these wonderful tropical flowers, birds, an assortment of animals."
"Animals?"
"Oh, nothing big. Squirrels, stuff of that nature.
"Okay, so how far is it?"
"It's about six miles from here." She said simply.
"Six miles!?"
"It's good for the baby. Now come on! There's a trail that will lead us straight to the waterfalls."
Draco moaned as he slipped on his hiking boots and took Hermione's awaiting hand.
"Don't worry babe, the trail is easy. It's mostly flat, plus we can take pictures with us in front of all the pretty scenery." Hermione bubbled on excitedly and started spewing off the knowledge she knew about the native animals and flowers.
Every now and again, they would stop to take pictures in front of a pretty flower or some lovely landscaping. Hermione couldn't stop laughing the entire way.
"Draco!"
"What?!" Draco said panickly.
"The baby! She just kicked!" Hermione grabbed Draco's hand and placed it on her nearly 4 month grown belly and put it where she felt the baby kick. A sudden jump in Hermione's stomach took Draco by shock.
"Did you feel it?" She asked excitedly.
"Oh my god!" He was awestruck. His baby was alive and kicking.
"I love you Hermione," he purred as he kissed her lightly.
"I love you too." They shared a tender kiss before Hermione's excitement kicked in and she grabbed his hand. "How about them waterfalls?" she asked adorably.
For the remainder of their trek, they talked of baby names, living arrangements, Hogwarts, the flowers, anything and everything. Even though the hike was long, it was easy and the time passed quickly with the two honeymooners' continuous chatter.
"Draco, look!" His eyes searched the horizon until he found a lone waterfall, maybe about 25 feet high, not very strong, but none the less, very beautiful. Surrounding the waterfall grew hibiscuses, lilies, and other such tropical flowers. The greenery was lush and the colors varied. The water dropped down into a little lagoon that would have come up to either one of their waists. The area was completely soundless except for the rustle of the water.
Hermione began to take off her shirt to reveal a simple purple off the shoulder one piece bathing suit. She looked at her husband. "You gonna join me?"
"I didn't think to bring a bathing suit." he stammered embarrassedly.
"And that's stopped you before?" She gave Draco a seductive look and walked down the rocks to the lagoon. "Oh, Draco! It's really warm. Come on in!"
"I don't have a suit!" Draco laughed.
"So? We're all alone! We can cast an invisibility charm if it's going to bother you that much."
"Alright, alright," he gave in. He slipped off his shirt, revealing a nicely tanned 6 pack and sculpted arms. He unzipped his cargo shorts and stood only in his boxers. Draco walked down the water and put in a foot. "You're right, it IS warm." He wiggled his way into the water and slipped off his boxers.
"Follow me" Hermione whispered. She took his hand and led him behind the waterfall. She began to kiss Draco tenderly on his mouth and brought his hands to her bathing suit. She allowed him to slip off the strap of her suit and his mouth wandered to her ever so slightly swollen breasts and flicked his tongue over each swell. Hermione moaned in delight, and she knew she was about to experience a world of great pleasure.
