Pool Party

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. If I did you wouldn't be reading this here and you wouldn't have to wait two years for the next book to come out and I would be the one worth billions and billions of dollars. But since you are reading this here and you have to wait two years for the next book and I am not worth billions and billions of dollars… I don't own it.

Chapter Six

The group made its way back to the pool. Harry stopped by the fridge to grab a bottle of water for himself. He said he would be right back but he got preoccupied. The tray of fruit Hermione used for her dare was sitting on the island next to Harry's sketch book. Harry picked up a piece of pineapple and the image of Draco's shorts slipping came to him. He sat down and started sketching.

When he sketched, it was like he was in a trance. He wasn't aware the amount of time that passed but when he "came out" of his trance, Draco was in front of him with this eyes closed eating a piece of pineapple. Harry snapped his sketch book shut, knowing full well what he would find on the current page. "Why did you shut it? The sketch was remarkable, but then again, you did have gorgeous subject matter didn't you?" Draco finally opened his eyes to glance at Harry, who was blushing slightly.

"You're not full of yourself or anything, are you? For your information, I don't know what is on that page." Harry lied terribly. "When I sketch, I don't really see what I draw, just what I see in my head." Harry quit blushing and walked over to Draco and took the piece of pineapple from between Draco's lips, "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with my food?" Harry walked out the screen door with a swagger in his step. Draco was dumbfounded as he tripped over himself getting to the door. When he got there he still had no come back.

Harry started walking toward the hot tub, for all eyes were on him for one reason or another, and he was still a little flustered about the picture he sketched in his book of Draco. He closed his eyes and started to relax. Just then he heard the gentle splash of someone getting into the hot tub. Actually it was several someones. "So Harry, what are you going to dare Ron to do?" Seamus said matter of factly.

Harry kept his eyes closed, thinking. He really had no idea what he would have Ron do. All the good dares seemed to be gone, well at least ones that he would actually ask someone to do in public. "Hmm, I'm not really sure. There are so many choices but still so few. Well, I don't want to scar Ron for life or anything." Everyone chuckled slightly. "Ron I dare you to snogg Hermione until you have to stop for air." There were quite a few ohh's and awe's from the other participants. Hermione blushed and looked down.

Harry had thought Ron would blush and mutter something under his breath but do the dare all the same. But what he did was much better. He got that lusty look to his eyes that said so many things. Compassion to be the forefront as he gently lifted Hermione's chin up and inclined his head. She nodded slightly and Ron moved in for the kiss.

At first it was very chaste, but then the two of them got more into it and with in thirty seconds the two of them were probing tongues and groping each other like there was no tomorrow. When they finally parted there was a loud applause. Hermione blushed scarlet and Ron just smiled a self-satisfied smile.

It was now Ron's turn. He looked around at the participants and gently laid his arm around Hermione's shoulders. She snuggled up to him and his smile broadened. "Hey there Hailey, we haven't heard from you in a while. What do you say? Truth or dare?"

Hailey thought about it. Before tonight she would have said dare in a flat second with Ron coming up with the dare, but what she had just seen was almost enough to change her mind. She quirked her eyebrow in challenge and said, "Ronnikins asking? Definitely dare."

She smiled almost obscenely at her. "Hailey Potter, you have made a huge mistake. I dare you to take your…" He was pausing for dramatic effect when a bolt of lightening short across the sky and an explosion of thunder reverberated through the night making the water in the pool ripple.

Harry stood up abruptly and said, "I think its time we take our games inside. Besides, I think I have a better game to play once we are all dried off." He smiled wickedly and turned to get out of the hot tub. His foot hit the edge of a seat and he took advantage of what could have been embarrassing by turning it into something seductive.

As he fell towards Draco, he turned his body to face him and at the last second caught himself with his hands on either side of Draco's face. His chest was about an inch from Draco's face and questionable parts were close to touching. He leaned his head down to Draco's ear and said, "Sorry about that Draco." He dragged out Draco's name for all he was worth. "I can be so clumsy sometimes." He moved back slowly and made his way from the tub with everyone else.

The bubbles in the tub were the only thing protecting Draco's lower regions from becoming very noticeable to all of his friends. He grabbed his towel while still in the water to prevent anyone from seeing his problem.

The group dried off just as it was beginning to rain. They changed out of their swim stuff and congregated around the food in the kitchen. "This is really good fruit." Seamus said as he moaned while eating a piece of cantaloupe. They all rolled their eyes with amusement and condescension. "So, Harry, what are we going to do now that its storming like a mother out there?"

Everyone turned to Harry to see what he would say. He actually had no idea. "I don't know." He turned from them and saw the almost empty bottle of coke he had earlier that day. "You know, we could always play spin the bottle. Yes, I know its juvenile but it's something to do. It seems to be either that or strip poker." He raised his eyebrow up when he said it.

Usually, everyone thought that Harry was completely unaware of how he affected other people. A flip of the hair, a stunning smile; it was just what made Harry, Harry. But at that moment, they all knew for sure. Harry knew exactly how he affected people and was using it to his advantage.

"If there are no objections, I will grab the bottle." Harry said with a smirk as he reached into the refrigerator and downed the contents of a coke bottle. Everyone shivered when Harry turned around and saw the sexy, predatory glint in Harry's eyes.
