Chapter 4 Bathroom Dramas

The next morning Hermione woke with a start; Hedwig Harry's owl was perched near her bedside table.

"Good –yawn- morning –yawn- Hedwig" In a flutter of wings the bird sat on Hermione's bed sheets, she put out her right leg indicating there was a letter to Hermione. Hermione opened the letter; it said

Hello Hermione,

You failed to come to the common room last night. We were wondering how your new living area is. I hope it isn't better than Gryffindor tower chuckle. Meet us down by the lake at 12pm sharp, we have a surprise for you laughs evilly.

Love Harry & Ron.

Hermione reached over to the bed side table and got a quill and replied

Dear Harry and Ron,

I can't wait to meet you. oooo I love surprises sigh. You really must see my personal quarters; they are magnificent, the bathroom is bigger than the prefect's one; the bathtub has 20 different valves on it and the common room is lovely, so is mine and Malfoy's room. Yes I've seen it; it's blue.

Better go, love Mio...

Hermione tied the parchment to Hedwig's outstretched leg who gave a nipped friendly at the tips of Hermione's fingers.

"Bye Hedwig" she said as the owl zoomed out of the room. 'Hmmm' she thought to herself 'I think a nice bath is in order'.

Hermione changed out of her school robes and put on a lovely light pink piece of lingerie her mother had brought her over the holidays. She slid it on and put on the matching nightgown and traipsed into the bathroom. When she got there, the bathroom bathtub was full of lovely pink bubbles and smelt of lavender oil. The bubbles were everywhere Hermione could hardly see where the bath lay. She slid off her nightgown and moved towards the edge of the water and dipped her hand in; closing her eyes for a few seconds for relaxation. Her eyes bolted open as something grasped her wrist; she was looking down at a pale Draco.

"Oh err, sorry, I didn't realize you were in here" Hermione said blushing as Draco let go of her wrist. "It's all right I suppose. So that's a nice piece of clothing you got yourself there Granger" he said smirking widely. Hermione scoffed. "Well, call me when you've finished your bath" she said walking towards the door.

"Wait" she turned round to face Draco. "Stay here"

"Draco, you're naked in the bath." I am certainly not going to get in that bath with you" "Hmm. Well Granger there is a pair of black silky boxer shorts over there on the counter, would you get them for me please?" "I suppose" she drawled. She got his boxers and tossed them to him. He quickly put them on as she started for the door again. "Granger" he said in a husky voice "Yes" she whimpered slightly shy.

"I am wearing boxers now, please, join me in the bath, we can have a nice chat" she looked sum what stunned to what he said but agreed all the same.

She approached the bath and slid in gasping at the relaxing feeling. "Ahhh" she said. Draco swam over to her as bubbles filled the room even more now. "Hello Granger," he whispered in her ear causing her to jump. "Sorry".

'Geez, this is strange' Hermione thought to herself, 'Draco hates me, why the sudden niceness?' "Why the sudden niceness you wonder? Well we will be sharing living spaces for the year, so lets get acquainted better" he said rubbing his hands on her shoulder. She shuddered.

"Lighten up, you're too tense. Ill help" he began to massage her, she let out a long sigh. Draco really knew how to use his hands she thought. He began to kiss her neck gently then her shoulder, she let out a soft moan of enjoyment. Opps she shouldn't have done that. She turned around to face him as he pulled her into his embrace. He leaned forwards making their lips meet. 'Her lips, they're so soft' he thought. The kiss grew heated and he licked her bottom lip for approval to enter her mouth. She sighed and let his tongue explore her mouth. They remained there kissing for ages. Forgetting Hermione had to meet Harry and Ron at 12pm they continued their heated kissing.

"Damn it Harry, where is she?" Ron growled. "I have no clue" Harry sighed leaning into the nearest tree providing shade.

"Harry she's 40minutes late, come on lets look for her". Ron and Harry reluctantly trudged up the path leading to the castle. They had better find professor McGonagall to see whether she knew where Hermione was...
