CHAPTER FOUR

Getting Wet

"Oh he is so dead! I am going to ring his little neck. I swear, he better watch his back, I am going to get even!" Hermione sputtered as she attempted to rid her lungs of lake water.

"You and me both sweetheart" Ron replied "He is in for it." Ron was furious at Harry. His eyes were still full of water so he couldn't see a thing, his clothes were sopping wet, and he was going to have to explain to Professor McGonagall why he and Hermione were wet when only yesterday Dumbledore had strongly advised against swimming in the lake.

When Ron finally managed to get the water out of his eyes he and Hermione swam to shore. Hermione then proceeded to get out of the water and Ron's heart stopped. She was gorgeous. There was no other way to describe her. The white blouse she was wearing had turned see-through and Ron could see that black lace of her bra and the tops of her perfect breasts. Her hair was already beginning to curl down her back and when she wrung it out it looked so sexy that an image of her naked on the beach with him ran through his head. God, he was never going to be able to keep his thoughts, or his hands for that matter, off her at this rate.

"Stop it Ron. This is the woman you love, you can't hurt her. She deserves to be happy. If you truly love her you will let her go" he thought to himself.

"What are you staring at" asked Hermione. She had noticed the look he was giving her. He had to be more careful.

"Damn it!" she screamed when she realized her shirt was see through.

"Here" Ron said while taking off his shirt "It is soaking wet but at least it will hide your...uhh...female attributes."

"Thank you. I am just going to take my shirt so turn around, ok?" she said. Ron noticed that she was blushing a bit.

"Yeah sure" Ron said. That was the hardest thing she had ever asked him to do. As he obliged and turned around he couldn't stop thinking about what she would look like in just her sexy black bra. He knew she would be amazing, that was a given, but he couldn't shake his curiosity.

"Ok, you can turn around now" Hermione called in a soft and embarrassed voice.

As Ron turned around possessiveness slammed through him like a powerful wave. She was standing there wearing his shirt and he decided it was his favorite shirt. It was way too big for her, but somehow that didn't matter. It clung to her curves like it was made to be worn by only her and it was the perfect shade of blue for her beautiful golden brown hair.

Struggling to find his voice Ron managed to choke out "We should head back before one of the professors catches us."

"Yeah, you're right. We should go."

They walked back to the castle in silence, but Ron was content. He was happy just to be in her presence, if only for a moment. They walked through the castle to the prefect's bathrooms without being caught.

"May I give you back your shirt tomorrow?" Hermione asked.

"Sure, I am just going to take a bath to get all this lake water off me. Duck crap is not my favorite smell thank you very much."

Hermione laughed "Alright, I am going to have to agree with you there. I'll see you in a bit" she managed to say between giggles as she walked into the girl's prefect bathroom.

"Now for a very long shower" Ron thought as he entered into the boy's bathroom "A very long shower indeed."
