Hi, Thanx for reviewing!! Here's chapter 2! Enjoy! R&R please!
Chapter 2
Later that evening, Hermione was sitting at the Gryffindor table, serving herself dinner. Lavender and Parvati walked up to her and took a seat opposite her.
"Hey Herms" they said. "Hi" said Hermione "Where's the guys?" asked Lavender "Showering" Hermione replied. "Oh, ok… so have you come up with a strategy yet?" asked Lavender.
"For what?" asked Hermione. Lavender and Parvati looked at each other, then back at Hermione.
"The dare" said Parvati in an obvious tone. Hermione's eyes grew wide as she gasped "Don't tell me you've forgotten" said Lavender shocked. "I have" said Hermione desperately.
"Ooooh… well all we can say is, good luck … but remember, the clock is ticking" said Parvati with an evil grin "But, but can't I-"
"Speak of the devil and you step on its tail" said Lavender, interrupting Hermione. They all looked to what Lav was talking about.
Harry and Ron was entering the great hall, chatting. Parvati and Lavender giggled "See ya" they said and left quickly "But-" Hermione tried to say but they were already gone.
She swallowed hard, she had gotten so caught up in her work that it didn't only ease her mind… it made her forget the dare COMPLETELY.
"Hey Mione" said Harry as he took a seat next to her, he was the only one who called her that and she absolutely LOVED it.
"H-hey" she stuttered as Ron sat down opposite her. "You ok?" asked Harry. "Oh yeah, I'm fine… just fine" she lied and took a huge gulp from her water.
"What am I going to do?" she thought as Harry laughed at a joke. Oh that laugh, it just made all her worries melt away… unfortunately the dare couldn't just melt away.
Hermione sat in her and Harry's bathroom on the rim of the bathtub, in her pj's and the lotion for her legs in hand.
She had already brushed her teeth 20 times, hoping Harry would be asleep by the time she finished.
No such luck, he never really went to bed early.
On the other hand she was glad, cause she's afraid of what Lavender and the other 2 would do to her if she didn't do this.
So here she sat now, thinking of a way to approach Harry without humiliating herself.
She stood up "Ok" she exhaled "Just go and ask him… no big deal… just get it over with" she said to herself.
She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as she knocked on the door. "Come in" said Harry. Hermione turned the knob slowly and once inside, she greeted the sight of Harry sitting crossed-leg on his bed, paging through a Quidditch magazine.
"Hi Harry" she said nervously with a forced smile. "Hey Mione" said Harry without looking up "Since when do you knock?" he asked, closing the magazine. "Uh…I …I just thought you might be getting dressed" said Hermione.
Harry looked at her confused "You've never thought of it before" he said. "Well… I figured I ought to" said Hermione "But-" "Can we just drop this Harry… that's not why I came here" said Hermione
"Sorry… what is it you came here for?" he asked curiously "I-I ..." Hermione felt the butterflies forming in her stomach again. "Um… I wanted to ask you something… uh…" "Oh what have I gotten myself into?" she thought.
"Ok… shoot" said Harry casually. "Ok… it's just…I , oh this is so stupid" Harry looked at her confused "I'm sure it's not. Why don't you come sit here on the bed?" "Ok" said Hermione and climbed onto the bed with Harry.
"What's with the lotion?" asked Harry as she sat down. "This is your queue Hermione" she yelled to herself. "Well, it's part of what I need to ask you" she said.
"Ok… but I still don't know what it is you want to ask" said Harry. "Ok… see… the thing is… um, today in Care of Magical Creatures I bruised my hands…" Hermione lied "…a-and I can't rub this lotion into my legs, cause it hurts… um, so… I just shaved my legs but now I need to put this lotion on, so my legs stay hair-free for a whole week so… I was wondering if…" Hermione trailed off. "Yeah?" asked Harry.
Hermione swallowed slightly "If you would mind doing it for me" said Hermione quickly and shut her eyes, feeling embarrassed.
She was expecting Harry to burst out laughing any second now… but instead "Sure… just lay back on the bed, as long as your hands get better" said Harry kindly, taking the bottle from Hermione. Hermione looked at him in shock, she didn't think he'd be this nice about it and did as he said, laying back into the bed.
Harry placed Hermione's legs over his lap, so he could reach every spot.
Hermione felt a tingle sensation fill her body as Harry made little dots of cream on the top of her right leg. Then he closed the bottle and set to work with the task at hand.
He started at her upper thigh, just below her pj's and since they were so short, he would touch her underwear if he went just a few fingers higher, which made Hermione totally numb.
She closed her eyes and choked back a moan… Harry was SO good with his hands, and she made a mental note to thank the girls.
He ran his hands over her legs slowly, making sure he did it thoroughly and Hermione just felt like she could stay like this forever. It was bliss as Harry finished her right leg, moving to her left now, giving it the same treatment.
But her bliss shattered as Harry interrupted her thoughts "Hermione, something just occurred to me… how did you shave your legs if your hands are sore?" he asked as he started with her upper thigh again.
Hermione's eyes snapped open "Uh… I … a spell, I used a spell" she said quickly, finding it hard to concentrate while he was doing such wonderful things to her legs.
"Well, if you know a spell… why not just use it every day in stead of rubbing in the lotion?" asked Harry. "Damn Harry, stop being so smart" Hermione thought.
"Um, because then I don't have to worry about it at all for an entire week, that's all" said Hermione "Oh ok… I guess it makes sense" said Harry as he moved to her ankle.
Hermione let out a silent breath.
She relaxed once again at the feel of his touch, she felt her cheeks burn. Harry ran his hands over her leg one last time and slapped her upper thighs jokingly as he said
"There, all done" "Hey, ow" said Hermione and they both laughed as Harry placed the bottle on his bedstand. Then he turned back to her, looking confused, as though he was thinking hard "But Hermione?" he asked "Yeah?"
"We didn't have Care of Magical Creatures today"…
