Chapter Twelve:
A few days went by, and the tension between Hermione and Draco lessened a little, but things were never quite the same.
Draco came to the kitchen while Hermione was in the middle of cooking eggs, he looked at her, and couldn't help smirking, the dejavou from the other morning came back to him.
Hermione noticed his smirk, looked down at the eggs and blushed feverishly.
Draco wanted to take advantage of the situation, but decided not to push his probation further, 'I'll get back at her another time, I know it's coming pretty soon.'
They had breakfast together, and decided that it would be nice if they leave the house for once, they havn't been out since the restaurant incident, and the house atmosphere was chocking them.
Draco wanted to go to the beach and decided he would do anything to convience Hermione to go, at least this way, he'll have a sneak peak of her in a bathing suite.
They packed a small picnic bag, with cold drinks, fruits such as watermelon and strawberries, and couple of bags of chips, just so they have something to munch on while they were tanning.
Hermione used her brilliant skills and applied a cooling spell to the bag that'll keep all the products cool even under the heat of the sun.
They called a cab, and went into their rooms to get dressed.
Hermione stood looking into her drawers and could not decide what to do. Every bathing suit she owned was a two piece bikini.
Yeah it's true she was the smart know it all at Hogwarts, but outside of school, she was an active girl, and had plenty of friends and dressed like every teenager in England did.
She didn't want Draco seeing her in a two piece, but she had no time to shop for a one piece at the moment, and she couldn't put a charm to her bathing suit because that will make it messing with muggle artifacts.
At the end she settled on wearing her hilighter yellow bikini, which was a triangular top and a little low rise bottom, with a black silk cover up that she tied around her breast and it went all the way to her feet.
She tied the cover extra strong so that it won't come off easily.
'Just in case, after all, Malfoy will be there' she thought to herself.
She walked out of the room and noticed Malfoy standing by the door, with a navy blue bathing shorts and a dark grey white beater. The white beater covered the scars on his back, but still showed the beautiful muscles that were driving Hermione insane.
When they saw each other, they both thought to themselves that today will be a challenge to keep their hands off each other.
They entered the cab and were off to one of the best beaches in England. When they got there they chose a spot that was not too crowded, it wasn't too close to the water, neither was it too far. Hermione setteled herself down on a huge and comfortable beach towel. The towl could easily fit 3 adults to lay comfortably, and four if the squish in a bit.
Hermione put the bag down on the edge of the towl and layed down on her back.
The sun felt good against her skin, that was up until she felt the sun disappear, she looked up, and saw Draco standing over her.
"Granger, are you planning to lay down all day, or are you going to enter the water with me?" He said sitting down next to her.
Hermione set up and took her sunglasses off, "Malfoy, what's your problem, I want to lay down, now leave me alone and go find someone else to bug for once, there are plenty of muggle girls you can pick on right now."
She said not looking into his eyes, because truthfully she didn't want him to go to other girls, but she'll never let him know that.
"Well, there is only one muggle for me, and she's right here, looking sexy in front of me" he said raising both of his eyebrows twice in a flirty manner.
Hermione giggled and lightly hit him across his shoulder. She felt his warm skin, and strong muscles against her soft hand and quickly removed her hand, making a note to self not to do it again.
"I am not looking sexy in front of you, if you havn't noticed we're at the beach, and everyone are wearing a little less than cloths around here." Hermione said rolling her eyes.
"I havn't really looked at anyone else" he admitted and winked.
Hermione decided to drop the subject and went back to laying down.
After about five minutes Draco gave up and headed towards the water himself.
Eventually he got bored with himself, and noticed there aren't that many muggles around them, so he decieded to take a chance and get Granger inside the water.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Hermione yelled, all of a sudden, she felt a force pulling her body up and towards the sea. She was flying fast, and stopped right in Draco's arms.
She looked up at him, slapped him across the face and yelled feverishly "How dare you Malfoy, you scared the shit out of me, are you out of your bloody mind, what the hell did you do?"
"Sorry Granger, it's just that you didn't want to come into the water with me, even when I asked you, so I decided to summon you over here." He said with a smile.
"Summon me, did you SAY summon me? As in Accio Hermione?
Are you seriously out of you mind, come on, I'm a human being not some object you summon towards you"
Hermione was frustrated and didn't even notice that when she landed in Draco's arms, her cover came off, and she was standing in front of Draco with nothing but a revealing bathing suit on.
Draco on the other hand had noticed it right away, he wasn't even fully listening to what she was saying he was just standing there, looking at her stunning body.
"I'm sorry Granger, I was getting bored out here, and felt like I can use some company, besides it would be fun" He said as he raised her into his arms and spun her on the water surface.
Just than, in utter confusion, Hermione noticed that her cover is no longer on her, she screamed and covered her breast with her hands.
Draco got scared from her scream and accidentely dropped her. He noticed she was covering herself and decided now is the time to push it.
"You know, your hands don't cover any more than the bathing suit did"
Hermione blushed and started swimming around looking for her cover, little did she know, Draco had found it first, and transfigured it into a coin that he put inside his shorts pocket.
After about five minutes of looking for her cover up, Hermione realized it was pointless, and stood there, glaring at Draco.
Draco laughed and walked towards her, "You know I can cover you with my body, right?" He asked, not smirking, not winking, just being honest and naturally sexy.
"Gee, I think I'll skip, but thanks for the offer" she said in a sarcastic thankful tone.
"Ok, as you wish" he said and grabbed her into his arms once again.
"Draco put me down" Hermione said trying her hardest not to supress the giggle that were threatening to come out.
"I don't' think so, I like holding you in my arms, just like a baby" he said with a kind smile.
Hermione started giggling, and looked up at him. His eyes showed honesty and care. 'Why am I rejecting this' she thought to herself, she felt that something really special could come out of it.
She finally relaxed and felt his strong arms holding her, it did feel kind of good, she felt safe for the first time, in such a long period.
She felt like with him, nothing can harm her.
Draco noticed Hemione calmed down, he saw her relax against his body, and he couldn't deny his feelings for her.
He was falling in love with Hermione Granger.
He was thinking about pulling her into a kiss, but right now was a bad time, he cannot
push her away as she just started getting closer.
He will not let her close the door, after he worked so so hard to open it.
They went out of the water and walked towards their bag to snack on some fruits.
On the way there Hermione started a sand war with Draco, she made a ball out of wet sand and threw it at him. Draco realized something hit his ass and was quick to reply and hit her right in between her breats, where the triangles separated and her skin was bare.
They played the sand war for about half and hour, and finally called it quits when both of them were covered in sand from head to toe.
Hermione went into the water to wash some of the sand off, Draco followed.
She started washing her hair, and swung it back when she was finished, when she started washing her body, Draco came over and asked if she can use some help.
"No thanks" she replied with the smile and continued washing the sand off her legs.
Draco did the same, and they stood in the water, cleaning the sand of themselves, without being able to take their eyes off each other.
They left the water, rested a bit, snacked while allowing themselves to dry, and called a cab to take them home. As Hermione was getting ready to get up, Draco transfigured the coin back into the original cover up and handed it to Hermione.
"You!" she said accusingly.
"Yeah, me, but I don't want anyone else to see your beautiful body, so you can have it back."
Hermione grabbed the cover out of his hands rudly yet playfully, and covered her body as much as she could.
The cab arrived, and they left home, after a long and fun day under the sun.
