Chapter Nine
Hermione awoke to giggling. She opened her eyes but her eyelids felt so heavy she just closed them again. It was at that moment she felt someone stirring in her bed. She rolled over, eyes wide in shock to see Draco Malfoy meeting her equally shocked gaze. She glanced at the onlookers. Everyone, except the other three. George, seemingly sensing their shock turned round to the rest
"Ok now, shows over. Let the love birds have some privacy" he said shuffling everyone out of the room, but winking before he closed the door.
"What the Hell?" Draco asked
"The you in my bed or the hounds gang caught us?" Hermione asked sitting upright and rubbing her eyes
"Both?" Draco asked
"Wait? Your not horrified to find your waking up in bed with me?" Hermione asked bewildered
"No, why would I? Are you" he asked
"No no not at all. In fact I'm quite content" Hermione smiled
"Me too and despite only having…Jeez 4 hours of sleep I feel rather refreshed. We should sleep together more often" Draco replied Hermione flushed red and started giggling uncontrollably
"What's so amusing?" He asked now laughing at her. He found her laughter to be contagious
"Just the way you said it" she breathed
"Maybe I meant it the way you took it" he said. She stopped laughing
"You mean" she asked
"Yes. Hermione Granger I want to go out with you" he said. A beaming smile broke out across her face. She jumped across and kissed him harshly. Harsher than the night before.
"I'll take that as a yes then" Draco laughed slipping them and trailing soft kisses down her neck. Hermione giggled but couldn't hide the waves of pleasure that passed through her body. It appeared that Draco too felt something as his hands started wandering and his hips gently rocked against hers which was now rippling in pleasure.
They were both taken out of their state of pleasure by a shock knock at the door, accompanied by the voice of Blaise
"Guys I don't know what's going on in there, for all I know you've killed each other's, but we've made plans for today and you'd better hurry up" he yelled
"Okay okay!" Draco yelled back he kissed her lips softly and they got up. Hermione walked into her En-suite and came out dressed as Draco got changed, only whining slightly about the fact he was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. They walked out and joined everyone watching TV. As soon as Fred noticed them he turned the TV off alerting everyone of their presence.
"Merlin you took a long time! We were almost late" Theo said Draco rolled his eyes and took Hermione hand in his, following Blaise and Theo out. Funny was behind them and let out an audible gasp
"Are you guys dating?" She asked
"Yes" Hermione replied
Many congratulations were shared before they carried along their ways actually late now they walked a short distance to a huge warehouse.
"Where are we?" Draco asked
"Well as you and Hermione were….engaged this morning we decided to go Go-Karting today. So here we are" George said
"What's Go-Karting" Draco asked
"Hush, babe you'll love it" Hermione said pulling him towards the doors. Before long they were kitted up and in their karts. A flag was flashing them when to start. As being around muggles the longest, Hermione went first followed by Ginny, Fred, George, Theo, Blaise and last was Draco. It took about 10 minutes but eventually they all got the hang of it. And we're having proper races.
The end result was in last place Blaise then Theo then George then Ginny then Hermione then Draco and first was Fred.
They went outside and found it was a beautiful sunny day
"I'm still feeling competitive" Ginny moaned.
"How about Canoeing?" Hermione suggested.
"Yeah" they all agreed. They made their way to the riverside and to the canoe hire. They hired 3 canoes. One for the girls, one for the twins and one for the Slytherins. They set off, already struggling to read a map. They chose a 4 mile route, and swiftly set off the girls started off in front but were soon over taken by the twins who got confused at a fork in the river where the Slytherins overtook traveling down the wrong side where the girls who were at the back arrived at the front as they went back the way they came struggling against the water. They got onto the right part of the river where the twins overtook both canoes, Fred lounging in the back taking a "well earned map" while George steered and thrust them forwards but then the slytherins overtook, splashing a fair amount of water onto the twins in the process. Which then got the girls involved and as they crossed the finish line in a photo finish they were all mid-water fight. And drenched. They left their sodden canoes, laughing at the dismay look of the owner at the state of his canoes. They went back home and showered before getting dressed and grabbing something to eat.
"So what do you guys wanna do tonight?" Theo asked, placing himself on the sofa next to Ginny, who was brushing her slightly damp, recently towel-dried hair.
The night before Hermione and Draco heard some music and on their walk home stumbled upon a fayre. They mentioned it to the group, and despite the bewildered faces they agreed to go. They followed the faint music, getting louder and louder. They walked through a lot up arch, and everyone's eyes widened. There were stalls everywhere, all sorts of games, food, even some roller coasters. Dusk was rapidly approaching, but if anything it excited them more.
They walked in and were immediately bombarded by fire-eaters, mimes and clowns. The excited shrieks of children filled the air. they walked to the first stall, Ringtoss. They played for a while, winning various prizes. It was then that they split up. Draco and Hermione split off towards the boardwalk, Theodore and Ginny drifted towards the rollercoasters. The Twins and Blaise walked over to the food stands.
The Twins, and Blaise found the food and started engulging themselves in a variety of foods, hotdogs burgers, popcorn, candy floss. Their eyes widened as their tastebuds giggled with glee. Once they were stuffed they walked on. They found the roller coasters but decided that after all the food, it probably wouldn't be such a good idea. Instead they went back into the games. They played the coconut shy, tombola, using a water gun to blow up a balloon in a clowns head, some sort of throwing game where you throw a ball into a stack of cans. another throwing games where you throw a ball through a hoop into a ball. They were surprisingly good. and walked away with loads of prises.
Theodore and Ginny joined the teacups, not really knowing what to expect but once they started spinning and moving the adrenaline took over. Ginny started laughing at the top of her lungs. her long garnet red waves of hair flying round her shoulders, theodore, laughing just as hard pulled her body close to his and in a wave of confidence crashed their lips together. To his surprise, she kissed back. They broke up, breathing heavily and still holding each other close, he looked deep into her eyes.
"Do you wanna go out with me?" He asked but the ride and the people were so loud she couldn't hear.
"DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME" He yelled. ironically as he did, the ride slowed down and quietened. everyone heard. No one moved it was dead silent. Ginny was shocked, she wasn't expecting that, yet she was overjoyed.
"Yes" she said, beaming from ear to ear and flung herself into his arms. kissing him softly. Everyone burst into applause. they got off the rides and decided to go get something to eat.
Draco and Hermione sat on the pier, looking out to sea. The sun was setting upon the horizon Hermione's head rest upon Draco's shoulder, their hands entwined, their toes dipping in the cold water of the sea beneath their feet. They sat In silence as they watched a boat cross the horizon. Draco leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss.
"It's beautiful here" Hermione said
"Maybe so, but you're stunning" he muttered, his lips tracing the outer shell of her ear.
"And yet you look better" Hermione replied. He kissed her again.
"Come on babe, lets go win you a stuffed animal" he said standing up, slipping on his shoes and offering her his hand to pull her up. They walked towards the games and true to his word, he won her a giant stuffed bear. They walked towards a giant rollercoaster, where they literally walked into the twins and Blaise who had finally decided that indigestion would no longer be a risk, and were overly hyper from the sugar. At that moment, Theodore and Ginny walked up, arm in arm and still beaming from ear to ear
"You look happy" Hermione smiled
"Why wouldn't I be, in the arms of my boyfriend" Ginny replied. Hermione and Ginny screamed, causing the guys to back away slightly. The girls hugged, the guys clapped Theo on the Back. Fred and George put on a mock serious face
"Now don't you hurt our sister"
"She means the world to us"
"What are your intentions?"
"You'd better treat her right"
Fred and George said laughing along with the Slytherins, before turning deadly serious. Stopping laughing at the last moment.
"But seriously, if you hurt her" Fred started
"We will kill you" George finished. Theo stopped laughing once he realised they weren't joking. The twins then turned their attention to Draco
"And if you hurt Hermione, you can be sure you'll get the same fate" they said. Draco nodded in understanding. Then the girls turned their attention back to the guys, and at the front of the queue they got into the carriage and went around the coaster, laughing at the top of their lungs. They then went on another roller coaster, one in a circle which spun really fact as it went up and down. They all held hands as they plummeted to the ground spinning fast stopping only metres above the ground before rising up again, they all screamed with excitement, at the abrupt movements and sharp wind.
They rode a few more rides before heading home. It was very dark now, but the brightness of the full moon was an ideal guide. They swiftly made their way back home. The twins and Blaise went to bed straight away, followed soon after by Ginny. Draco and Theodore sat on the sofa watching something on TV while Hermione was looking on her phone intently.
"Babe what are you doing?" Draco asked
"Don't worry" she replied slyly. Theo smiled and went to his room. 10 minutes later Hermione put her phone down and made her way over to Draco. She curled up next to him on the sofa, his hands went round her waist, trailing light patterns on her skin. His lips connected to hers, as they kissed, getting more passionate. Eventually Hermione had to break the kiss, fighting back a yawn. Sensing her tiredness and feeling rather drained himself, they went to bed. They intended on going to their own rooms but Hermione insisted that he slept with her. They climbed under the covers. He placed a quick kiss to her cheek before they fell asleep.
