Chapter 21

Wet and Wild Double Date

It was getting warmer and closer to the third challenge. Exams were coming up and I was stuck studying when I could have spent my free time "spending time" with Draco. (*sigh* stupid exams keeping me from personal boyfriend time. I felt like I was being cheated!)

I was in the common room with Ivy, who was helping me with homework as Draco and Blaise (who I had yet to kill for his waking me up at two AM on Valentine's Day) sat on the other side of the room.

I sighed and looked longingly at Draco "I am soo bored!" I whined, making Draco turn my way and smile.

"Just a little bit longer, love." Draco said before turning back to Blaise.

I sighed and worked with Ivy on another question before Ivy gave up "I don't know!" Ivy said exasperated before leaning in to whisper something to me "I have an idea."

I looked to her than to Blaise "Does it involve me getting Blaise back for waking me up at two AM?" I asked hopefully.

Ivy smirked "Maybe…what do you say we go for a dip in the lake?"

I beamed "YES!" I whispered happily setting my quill down. "Can I push him off the dock or feed him to the Giant Squid?" I asked.

Ivy laughed before turning serious "No, neither. We're all going swimming, just not him." Ivy said.

I paled suddenly "Wait…in the water? The freezing cold water? Are you insane?" I asked.

Ivy nodded "Yeah. But don't worry, Malfoy can come too."

I shot up from my seat and squeaked excitedly. My boyfriend…with NO SHIRT! "Yay! Shirtless boyfriend! But…that water's still freezing!" I muttered to her, so Draco wouldn't hear me.

"Oh, come on!" Ivy said getting up and turning to the boys "OI! Blaise, Malfoy, get your swimsuits, we're going for a dip in the Lake!"

I sulked "Fine…at least I get to work on my tan a little." I grumbled to myself.

"Come on, Han." Ivy said, taking out a red bag she brought with her and dragging me up to my dorm.

I rolled my eyes at Ivy's never ending need to drag me places "I had better see a shirtless Draco, or so help me, Ivy, I'll hex you into next week!" I threatened, digging around my trunk for my swimsuit.

Ivy rolled her eyes and pulled out a gold coloured swimsuit with silver hemming.

"I mean it!" I said, fishing out my suit from in between my Invisibility Cloak and a pair of Mary-Janes "I had better not be donning this thing again for Draco in a t-shirt and swim trunks!"

Ivy slipped out of her clothes and began changing. "I can't control what he'll be wearing." Ivy pointed out "But I am thinking you're gonna be happy."

I stuck out my tongue and took off my jeans "I'd better." I said, taking my shirt off and putting on my swimsuit. "Or I'll be feeding you to the Giant Squid." I threatened playfully.

"Sure you will, Han." Ivy said, turning around once she was done changing.

I rushed for the bathroom "Hey, wait up! I gotta get towels and sun block and my sunglasses!" I said, taking a bottle of SPF sixty, a green towel with a silver "S" in the corner and heading back into my dorms for my sunglasses (and a romance novel).

"I got my towel already!" Ivy called out to me, waiting.

"There we go." I said finally, putting my sunglasses on my head and wrapping the towel across my arm. "How do I look?" I asked.

"Fine like normal." Ivy said, sounding somewhat confused before walking out of the dorm and downstairs.

I sighed and followed her "Can you blame me?" I asked "I just want to look ok because I may be seeing my boyfriend shirtless and I want to make sure I look fine next to him."

Ivy and I met up with the boys downstairs…and to my disappointment. Draco was wearing a shirt with Blaise.

I groaned "So close." I muttered before looking to Ivy "You are so going to the Giant Squid." I said in mock anger.

"Just wait." Ivy muttered back.

"Let's go." Blaise said, throwing his towel over his shoulder.

Ivy paused and her hand flew to her necklace "Wait, we need to stop at Gryffindor Tower really quick." she said.

My own hand flew to my necklace and I nodded "Hang on. I can't get this wet." I said, running back up to my dorm, taking my necklace off as I went.

I placed my necklace in the jewellery box Amelia gave me for Christmas first year and I sprinted back downstairs with my midnight blue hair scrunchie.

"Ok," I panted "We can go now."

Ivy was quick to get rid of her necklace and before I knew what was happening, we were at the lake.

I was still sceptical about the lake's temperature after the second task. So, I did what any sane person in my world would have done.

I had a guinea pig test the water for me.

"After you, Ivy." I said, gesturing to the water.

Ivy gave me a look and took a deep breath before diving in gracefully.

I stood there shocked as she emerged from the water without even a shudder.

I put my hand in the water and immediately drew it back. That water was just as I remembered it.

FREEZING BEYOND HELL!

"How can you do that without screaming over how cold the water is?" I called out to Ivy as I wiped my hand in my towel.

"Hey, I'm a Gryffindor!" Ivy called back, smiling. "But yeah, I guess you're right. I guess snakes get cold a lot faster."

I glared at her "Shut your Clampitt, Duff!" I shouted.

"Make me!" Ivy shouted, swimming away from the dock.

"Fine!" I shouted "Get back over here and I will!"

Ivy smirked at me "No! You gotta come in the water!" she said.

I sneered and put my hands on my hips "Why don't you just come out and take me on like a good little Gryffindor?" I asked.

Ivy glared at me and started to tread water "Because I'm not stupid. I know you won't fight fair. After all, you are a Slytherin."

I growled and turned around to face Draco and Blaise "I think she just insulted us, boys." I said, nodding back to the Gryffindor in the water.

Blaise nodded "Yeah, she did." he said before taking off his shirt.

I held my breath and hoped as Draco grabbed the hem of his t-shirt.. Please, please, please, take off your shirt! I pleaded.

I made a squeak as he pulled it up over his head and tossed it aside. "Oh, wow." I muttered to myself.

My Skinner's ghost…HE WAS GORGEOUS! I never realized before how much I loved Quidditch. Quidditch…it did him a world of good. Six pack, broad shoulders, pale skin…Skinner. He was perfect, he was HOT!

He was mine.

I turned bright red when Draco noticed me staring and I bit my lip, looking up at the heavens. "Thank you." I whispered.

"Told you so!" Ivy shouted before diving back under.

Before I knew what was happening, someone grabbed me around my waist and carried me to the edge of the dock.

"No…No…NO!" I screamed trying to break out before the person threw me in the water.

"AHHHH!" I screamed before I went completely under. Again, the water was freezing cold and I shot up out of there and screamed again.

"URG! IT'S C-C-COLD IN H-H-HERE!" I screamed, trying to rub some feeling back into my arms while I glared at the boys, who I knew one of them threw me in. "WHOEVER D-D-DID THAT IS S-S-SO G-G-GETTING F-F-FED T-T-TO THE GI-GI-GIANT SQ-SQ-SQUID!"

Draco smirked and put his hand up "Guilty."

"WHEN I G-G-GET MY H-H-HANDS ON YOU, D-D-DRACO M-M-MALFOY, S-SO H-H-HELP ME I WILL…" Draco smirked at me and I faltered "I WILL…" God, why did he have to have his shirt off when he pissed me off? I couldn't focus on screaming at him! "I will…" I said finally.

"HA! Can't hurt him, can you?" Ivy teased.

I bit my lip and was silent, save for my shivering.

"I think you made her speechless, Malfoy!" Ivy shouted "You shouldn't have taken your shirt off."

I blushed and gave Ivy a "Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about!" look.

"Malfoy has that talent with all the girls, don't you Malfoy?" Blaise asked.

Draco nodded "It's a gift, I'd say. Wouldn't you agree, love?" Draco asked me.

I kept quiet, not knowing whether to punch him in the stomach (a hidden part was worried about breaking my hand on it…god, again, he was so rock hard, how can that be skin and muscle?) or kiss him for his cheekiness.

I never got to make a decision as Draco and Blaise jumped in right in front of me, splashing me with more icy water, snapping me out of the "Oh, wow." trance again.

When Draco came up, I splashed him "That wasn't nice!" I scolded. "You're so mean to me, you bastard."

"I'm sorry, Hannah." Draco said smirking and rolling his eyes, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my forehead "I was a very bad boy, wasn't I?" he asked as Blaise came up.

I glared at him "Yes, yes you were." I said before kissing him quick and looking for Ivy "Where's Ivy?" I asked, blanching. Had she hit her head off something?

Suddenly I felt something grab my legs and pull me out of Draco's grip and back in the water before letting go and letting me shoot back up.

I wiped the water out of my eyes and coughed for about a minute before spluttering "Was that just…you just…HEY! Who was that!?" I asked, turning to my boyfriend.

Suddenly Ivy grabbed my shoulders behind me "Hi!" she said laughing as she turned me around.

I gaped at her "That was you!?" I screeched.

Ivy smirked "Guilty as charged." she said happily.

"Duff!" Draco shouted, letting go of me and splashing Ivy "That was not called for!"

Ivy just smirked and splashed Draco back "She's my best friend, Malfoy. Sorry for wanting to get her wound up."

I glared and splashed Ivy "Well, now I'm freezing because of you!" I said angrily.

Ivy glared at me and pulled me into deeper water "Malfoy was the one who threw you in, not me!" she said defensively.

I smirked "Wanna get them back?" I asked.

"How do you mean?" Ivy asked, giving me a confused look.

"You get Blaise…Draco's mine…we'll gang up on them and have a friendly little battle of the genders."

Ivy nodded "Oh, I see where you're getting at. You can start with Blaise. You need your payback for the Valentine's Day stunt he pulled. Leave Malfoy to me." Ivy said nodding before we swam back to the boys when they weren't looking.

I snuck up behind Blaise and turned to Ivy "NOW!" I shouted, splashing Blaise hard as Ivy did the same.

"God!" Draco shouted "What's this!?"

"Sneak attack, baby!" I shouted before ducking under Blaise's legs and pulling him in.

I shot up and giggled as Blaise shot back up, shaking his hair from his eyes "You little brat!" he shouted, jumping at me "I'll get you for that!"

I jumped out of the way as Blaise lunged towards me, doing a summersault in the water before popping back out and dodging another attempt for Blaise to catch me.

"SWIM HANNAH!" Ivy screamed when Draco had her.

I swam faster than I thought I swam even in the challenge. But it wasn't enough. Blaise grabbed me and held onto my waist.

"Caught your girl, Draco!" Blaise shouted, holding me high in the air as if I was the Memorial Cup and he was Derek Roy; the captain of the Kitchener Rangers in 2003.

Draco laughed "And I got yours, Zabini." he said, lifting Ivy up in the same way.

"PUT US DOWN! PUT US DOWN!" Ivy and I screamed together.

The boys nodded and Blaise threw me at the same time Draco threw Ivy. Ivy and I screamed and clung to each other as we went underwater.

Ivy and I gave each other a look and used my telepathy and her Legilimency.

You get your man, I'll get mine. I thought to her, making her nod in response.

Let's do it, Han! she said, swimming towards Blaise as I snuck around behind Draco.

Grab his leg on three…one…two…THREE! I thought before grabbing Draco's leg and pulling him down with me.

Draco glared at me and grabbed my waist, pulling the both of us up as Blaise and Ivy did the same thing.

"I think the girls are trying to drown us, Blaise." Draco said playfully slinging me over his shoulder like Fred had done the previous summer.

"And I have a hunch that Ivy here isn't the criminal villainess that initiated the plan!" Blaise said, glaring at my face.

I shook my head "It was both of our ideas!" I lied.

"LIAR!" Ivy shouted "It was all her, Blaise! She made me do it! She's had a vendetta against you since Valentine's Day!" she tattled, pounding on Blaise to let her go.

"YOU BACKSTABBING LOWLIFE GRYFFINDOR TRAITOR!" I screamed as Blaise set her down with a kiss and Draco looked up at me smirking.

"What do you reckon we should do with her, Blaise?" Draco asked, putting his free hand on his hip.

Blaise shrugged "I don't know, what do you think?" Blaise asked.

I looked innocent "Let me go with a really stern warning?" I suggested naively.

Draco shook his head "Oh, no, love. Then you wouldn't learn your lesson. I say…we give her to the Giant Squid." Draco said.

I shook my head "No! Not the Squid, please! Anything but the Squid!" I pleaded, howling with laughter.

Draco looked at Blaise, then at me "Fine. You won't be fed to the Squid…but…YOU'RE GETTING DUNKED!" he shouted, taking hold of both my arms and forcing me in the lake.

I kicked and thrashed until Draco pulled me up. I only had time for a gulp of air before I went back under, thrashing to break out again.

When I came up again and Draco was about to dunk me again Ivy finally spoke up "OK, MALFOY, YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN AND SHE'S HAD HER PUNISHMENT, LET HER GO!" she shouted, pulling me away from Draco and throwing him to the dock wall.

I listened into the conversation and I heard Ivy hiss "Just because we called truce, Malfoy, doesn't mean what I said in second year doesn't apply anymore. You hurt her in any way, you go through me." before swimming back to my side to get dunked.

Ivy shot up coughing and glared at me "HEY!" she yelled "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"

I smirked "You ratted me out, and you don't want to rat out a Slytherin, right, Draco? We're worse than the Mafia."

Draco nodded but knitted his eyebrows together "What's the Mafia?" he asked.

I smirked "The Mafia is a secret organized Muggle crime gang that was based in Sicily, Italy and spread to mainland Italy and to America. The leader of the Mafia is always called the Godfather and his right hand man is called the consigliere."

Draco smirked "So Slytherins are worse than the Muggle Mafia?"

I shrugged "I guess. But we don't have a Godfather."

Blaise smirked "Yes we do. And we have a Godmother. And each of them have a consigliere"

I creased my eyebrows "Who?"

"Hello?" Draco said "They call me Slytherin's Ice Prince. And since I'm dating you, you're Slytherin's Ice Princess. So we're the Godparents of the Slytherin Mafia."

"And our consiglieri?" I asked confused.

"Mine's Blaise, and yours is Duff over there." Draco said, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my scar.

I squirmed "Draco!" I giggled, carding my hands through his sopping wet hair, slicking it back slightly. "Hey! It's the eleven year old you again!" I squeaked when I noticed I was slicking it the way he used to.

"Stop it, Hannah." Draco said, shaking his hair back into his face and kissing me "I know you loved it back then, but I like it this way now." he said. "And besides, I can't make you look like you did when you were eleven back! You can't look as cute as you did back then. Now you just look staggeringly gorgeous!"

I went bright pink and kissed his neck "Oh, you stop!" I said, humbled.

"Oh, you like it." Draco said before dunking me in the water and kissing me.

I clutched Draco's neck tightly and held my breath until Draco let me come up and continued the kiss in front of Blaise and Ivy.

Blaise roared with laughter and Ivy groaned "Get a room, you two!" they said together.

Draco ended the kiss and we grinned at our friends "We could…but we'd much rather have you watch." Draco said before pecking me on the forehead.

Ivy rolled her eyes "Oh, wow!" she said heading for the dock "I'm going to dry off, coming, Blaise?"

Blaise nodded and followed her "Coming, Malfoy, Han?" he asked.

I looked to Draco, then we both looked to Blaise "In a few minutes. We'll meet you in the Great Hall." we said together.

Blaise shrugged and followed Ivy out of the lake.

I watched Ivy and Blaise dry off and head back into the castle for a later lunch, Blaise's arm around Ivy's waist before Blaise picked her up.

I fought off laughter until I lost them. "Finally." I said, throwing my arms around Draco's neck.

"We're alone." Draco agreed, nuzzling into my neck. "Now…what was it you were thinking of doing after we were done studying?"

I shrugged "Mr Malfoy, you were thinking not-so-very-gentlemanly thoughts about…what was it? 'Snogging me until I was so weak in the knees I wouldn't walk for a week.'?" I asked.

Draco smirked and gripped my hips tightly "Care to put a wager on if I can do that?"

I mirrored his smirk and pressed our foreheads together "Bring it on." I said.

I wasn't sure if I was in fourth year or in second year when, just as Draco was about to snog me…someone shouted.

"HEY GUYS!"

"AH!" Draco and I said together, Draco dropping me into the water, before grabbing my arm and pulling me up to my feet.

I coughed and looked at the dock.

There stood Sheila and Fireball…both in swimsuits (Sheila's was blue and bronze and Fireball's was red and orange.)

"Sheila!" I shouted "What are you doing here!?" I demanded, putting my hands on my hips.

"Going swimming?" Sheila asked, shrugging, before grinning "Am I walking in on-"

"YES!" Draco and I said together angrily.

Sheila grinned. "Thought so, seeing as Malfoy was clearly set on snogging you senseless, Han."

I rolled my eyes as Draco got onto the dock "Yeah, we were just debating whether he could do that." I explained.

Draco smirked "Care to settle this in my dorm, love?" he asked, holding out his hand.

I smirked and grabbed it "You…can…try, Draco Lucius Malfoy." I said as I was pulled up "See you, Sheil, Fireball." I said, waving to Sheila, who just jumped in the lake, Fireball on her tail.

"Bye!" Sheila said when she emerged from the water.

I gaped as Draco led me to the castle.

"Why is it that I'm the only one who has a sane reaction to that freezing cold water?" I asked.

Draco shrugged "We all know that water's cold, you're just a coward."

I slapped him "Shut up, you ferrety git!" I snapped.

Draco mocked pain "Oh, that hurts, Hannah. Don't bring Moody's ferret thing into this. And besides…I think it's time someone got some sense into that pretty raven head of yours."

I smirked "Let me guess, you're going to do it?" I asked.

Draco nodded "But of course, Ms Potter."

I stuck out my tongue "If I don't have sense when the snogging is over, I demand a refund." I teased.

"You'll see." Draco said as he opened the door to his dorm "Ladies first."

I smirked "So in other words, you?" I asked.

Draco glared at me "Shut up, Hannah!"

I beamed "I pissed off the Ice Prince!" I sang as I walked in the door and sat on Blaise's bed.

Draco's glare softened and he smirked. "Must you be so annoyingly amusing?"

I smirked "I'm a Potter…it's my job." I said, quoting him.

"That line is just like you!" Draco snapped, lunging for me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, squeaking as I was pinned to Draco's bed.

"You're both…mine!" Draco shouted, attacking my mouth with his.
