The two of them were messing around in the pool, splashing each other.
Hermione was sliding down the slide, and Draco would promptly appear and
dunk her.
Or she would be sunbathing, and Draco would come and empty a cup of cold
water over her, which would start a game of her chasing him around the
pool, dripping wet and shrieking as she chased him around the pool.
It was on one such occasion, when Hermione was chasing Draco around the pool. He had sprayed her with the hose pipe as she sunbathed. The only problem was, she had been asleep, and waking to freezing water on you was not Hermione's favourite way to wake up.
"You little.I am going to curse you into oblivion!" She shrieked as she ran across the grass under the trees on the far side of the garden.
"Now I'm scared, Miss We-cant-do-magic-till-we-go-back-to-school." Draco called as he ran ahead of her.
"When you're in a hole, stop digging." Marina called out. Draco stopped and stuck his tongue out at Marina, who noticed he had picked up the habit from Hermione.
"Gotcha, you arrogant stupid pig of a - let me go!" Hermione yelled. She had grabbed Draco from behind, only to have him spin in her grasp and grab her instead. He had swept her into his arms, and was walking over to the pool. Despite Hermione's struggles and complaints, she looked like she was enjoying herself.
"And now, Miss Granger, it is time for you to meet your fate." Draco said in a deep dramatic voice that made Hermione giggle. He held her out over the pool like he was offering her up to something, and she immediately began wriggling and squirming.
"Be still, Granger." He complained. "As I was saying, it is time for you to meet your fate."
"Drop me in that water and you'll meet your fate, Draco Malfoy. And it wont be one that includes children." Hermione warned.
"Any last words?" Draco asked. Hermione stilled.
"Yes." She said nodding. "I love you." Draco raised an eyebrow.
"Love you too, darling. Enjoy the water." And he released her. Hermione screamed, and reached out for anything. She grabbed his hands and pulled him in with her.
The two of them hit the water with a splash that made Marina wince. Those two were going to have slap marks when they got out, that was if they stopped kissing long enough to notice the world around them. Since that afternoon in the basement, they seemed to have come to an agreement, which seemed to include a lot of kissing.
A crash made Marina turn around. She walked into the living room and grinned. Harry and Ron were lying in a heap on her floor.
"Well, what is the meaning of this?" she asked in a mock stern voice.
"Ron, get off me." Harry grunted.
"Sorry." Ron struggled to his feet, and Harry followed suit.
"Hi Marina." Harry said cheerfully. Marina smiled.
"Hi Harry." Hermione's shriek broke the air. Harry paled.
"I wouldn't worry Harry. She's just in the pool." Harry nodded.
"Sorry we didn't let you know we were coming." Ron said in a burst of unusual manners.
"That's alright. Keeps me on my toes. You wanna go through? They're in the pool." Harry nodded and walked past her. But as soon as he was past Marina his face hardened. He did not like the idea of 'They're' at all. Hermione was his.
