Zabini Villa
As Ginny woke Ron up, the others started making plans for the afternoon & evening. "Why don't we go to Zabini Villa? It's away from people, and you'd get a great dinner. Plus, we have a beach about a mile away. Why don't we take a horse ride out there?" Blaise suggested. "That sounds great," replied Hermione, "Also, do u have somewhere for me to keep my thestral? I need to bring her home." Smiling, Blaise said, "Of course, she can lie in a stable until you leave. Now come on, lets go!" The group left, heading back to Charlie's shop, and Kent Rengars' new thestral.
When they reached the store, they saw that a purple and gold sign had been placed over Lady's stall. It read "Sold for 800 Galleons." Many people were gasping at the strangely expensive price. Feeling bold, Hermione pushed through the crowd to her purchase. The animal recognized her, and came up for scratches. "Hello sweetie, how is our mommy doing? Aww, is Lady Jezzebel itchy? You're leaving now!" Charlie came through and said, "Miss Rengars, nice timing. Here is her lead, and... does she have a name?" "Lady Jezzebel, Lady for short." He then magicked the name onto the royal blue halter and reins. "Here you go, your purchase has already been charged to the account. Goodbye Hermione, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Malfoy, Zabini." with a curt nod, he handed Hermione the reins and walked back to his office.
Leading Lady J through the streets was difficult, as less than half the people there could actually see her. Finally, they got to the Apparition Point, a spot right outside of Gringott's. The Blaise, and Lady J vanished, reappearing in the Italian Countryside. Zabini Villa was a huge stone manor, set atop a small hill. The entire area was green and lush, and you could see the stables down the hill. "Lets get Lady to the stables, and then we can head straight to the beach." Hermione cried. With that, Blaise began running down the hill. He was soon overtaken by Hermione, who had hopped on Lady J';s back, and nudged her into flight. Ginny and Harry were both rolling down the hill, and Draco and Ron were walking slowly. From the look on Draco's face, Ron was informing him of what would happen if Ginny got hurt. As they reached the bottom of the hill, Hermione, Harry and Blaise got a fit of "coughs" as Draco's skin was 5 times paler than his hair. "Lets get to the beach." Blaise said, finally calming down.
There were 27 horses in the Zabini Stables, including 2 large Friesians. "They pull our winter carriage." Blaise explained. There were 3 Andalusians, 8 Tennessee Walkers, and 13 Arabians. Not to mention one little Icelandic Pony in the back. "Oh! Lets take the Arabians! I Love these horses!" Ginny exclaimed. Sighing, Blaise agreed. He pulled out 4 chestnut mares, and two black geldings. "These are Pilot, Dreamer, Freedom, and Liberty." I'll be taking Shadow, and Hermione, you'll have Nacht . Does everyone know how to ride?" When everyone nodded, they headed out.
The beach trail was nice. It was entirely packed sand, winding through a patch of forest. It was about a 10 minute ride, and the trees parted to show a beautiful white sand beach. It was against a small hill, and the small lake lapped beautifully at it's edges. Hermione on Nacht and Ginny on Dreamer were soon racing down the beach. The horses snorted as the tide hit their feet.
Meanwhile, the boys conjured a large blanket, and allowed their horses free range. When the girls returned, they all stripped down to go swimming. (ooers, lol.) Hermione was nervous to have Blaise see her in a bra and panties, but when he came up and hugged her, everything felt so right. She slid her hands around her neck, and he leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss. She tucked her head under his chin. She fit perfectly against him. "Hey guys, the water is that way!" Harry yelled, scaring the couple apart. Embarrassed, they waded into the water with their friends.
