Thank you so much to all the people joining the telling of this story.
Draco in my mind has always been a gentleman so have a patience, i promise we'll get to the smutty lemons when the time is right!
Sunday morning at the crack of dawn Hermione picked up her things and headed for her bath. Draco was waiting disillusioned for her inside. She shut the door behind her and opened up he favourite taps flooding the pool sized tub with bubbles and hot water. She put stasis charm on the water to keep it at that temperature. She turned on the music and the opening of Swan Lake began to play. Draco could not have asked for a more perfect choice. His breath hitched as she slipped out of her bathrobe and got in.
He let her swim a lap in the bubbles before getting into the water behind her and lifting the charm from himself. Hermione felt like she was not alone but she shrieked as pair of strong arms gripped her from behind. She began splashing in the water and Draco had to let her go…
"Granger stop! Granger stop! Hermione! Hermione! It's me!" Draco said
She stopped "Draco! What the fuck is wrong with you! Who does that!" She screamed
She was pissed. This was bad. Draco was trying to think of an explanation when suddenly he saw her going further away from him in the pool
"Hermione wait… listen…" He said swimming towards her…
"Noooo…. stop…. please… that's far enough… don't come closer…" She was embarrassed and trying to pull the foam towards her "In fact… it's really rude to intrude on someone's bath… so please leave… or I will but you have to close your eyes first and don't open them till I say so…"
Draco was confused for a second and the he smiled in an almost predatory way. She was embarrassed "Granger, you look flustered… are you alright?"
"I'm fine! Just don't come any closer okay…" She said from the far end of the pool.
"Okay… but I have something to tell you…" Draco swam closer "it's very important…"
"Malfoy Stop! I had no idea you were a pervert, get out of the bath this instant!" She shrieked
"Really poor choice of words" Draco said standing up in all his naked glory on the shallow end of the pool and climbed out
Hermione blushed and turned away…
"Come on granger, I know I don't look bad… I play quidditch after all…"
Hermione was firmly facing the wall "Malfoy, get out of the bath and leave please…"
"But I need to talk to you" Draco pouted
"We can have this conversation in the library! fully clothed!" She argued refusing the turn
Like a snake he had glided quietly and was right behind her. He put his arms on either side of her and put his mouth near her ear as he said… "But then I can't do this"
He kissed her shoulder gently. Hermione was sure her heart was going to burst out of her chest. He didn't move and neither did she…
"What did you want to say…" She mumbled still holding her hands across her chest in hopes of protecting her modesty.
"I had a lot to say, but honestly right now, there's not much I can think of except that I might have fucked up royally…" He said softly
"You think…" She said seeing the humour in the moment
They both smiled… to themselves her back still to her. Draco even chuckled. He then took a breath and said
"I'm sorry for Christmas… I shouldn't have run off… I'm sorry about everything after too… you should know, I don't apologise often…"
To say she was shocked to hear the most pops ass of Hogwarts admit to a mistake would have been an understatement "… what are you sorry about…" She coaxed
"Leaving…" he said
She turned her head to look up at him. She was on he tippy toes on the deep end of the pool, he was standing comfortably and most of his torso was still out of the water.
"Then why did you…" She asked looking at him over her shoulder
"Cause I really like you…. and that scares me… Hermione my world…" He started to explain but was cut off by her lips
He was shocked for a second but then melted into it. The stasis charm was holding, the water was deliciously warm. The music was hitting a crescendo as Draco depend their kiss. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck to stop herself from drowning. He reached his hands under her bum and picked her up. The water made her almost weightless. He pushed her against the wall of the deep end and she moaned into his mouth. At last they parted for air panting heavily.
Hermione felt his bulge press up against her and suddenly they were both aware that they were completely naked. He felt her breast brush against his chest as she slipped off him. His member hardened more and he hated his body for betraying him as he moved away from her. Hermione started to pull the foam towards herself again…
They both cleared their throats…
"So…" Draco said
"Yea… umm… " Hermione was at a loss of words
"What do we do now?" He asked
He could see the wheels of the logical part of her brain begin to spin
"Well we should…. no you should… and then I will…" Hermione was spluttering
Draco found it endearing… "I'll go first… " He said swimming towards the shallow end. When he reached there Hermione covered her eyes smiling "Don't peek" he teased…
Once he was wrapped up in a towel, he waited for her to swim out and looked away as she put on her robe.
"So… I'll see you in the library?" He asked
"Yes… " She said
"Around 7?" He asked
She nodded.
Draco smiled, he gave her a peck on her cheek leaving her frozen as he snuck out of the bathroom. They both had to try very hard to keep a stupid grin of their faces that entire day…
