Chapter 4: A Quick Dip
Hermione woke up suddenly stunned, sweating a bit as she looked at her desk clock which said 5:00 am
"Mione? You awake?" someone from outside asked, knocking
"Yeah…I am now…" Hermione said as she put on her robe and opened the door, surprised to find Harry out her door
"Harry? What are you doing up this time? Our meeting is not for 3 hours…." She asked rubbing her eyes a bit
"Look am sorry if I woke you up…it's just that…well…uhm…" he said kind of nervously
"Harry…could we talk about this some other time…I kind of don't feel like talking at the moment…." She said trying to avoid whatever Harry was about to say
"Oh…okay then…sorry then…see you later then?" he asked turning around
"Yeah…" she said closing the door, relieved to be able to escape what he was about to tell her, she didn't know why Harry was acting differently these past few days and it was weird enough for her
She headed back to her bed and tried to get back to sleep, she tossed and turned but she couldn't sleep she decided to take a short walk outside, she took her jacket and headed out
As she stepped out the cold breeze directly hit her, the grass wet as she walked to the lake, she noticed the water was sparkling, how wonderful it must be to take a quick swim
She never imagined herself swimming the lake only with her underwear on, since no one else was there why not? She said as she took off her shirt then her silk pajama pants, and dived in the water
It was cold but refreshing at the same time, it made her feel alive and free, it feels great! She said to herself as she placed her hands through her hair
"Yeah, isn't it?" someone interrupted her from behind, and was surprised to see Cedric standing in front of her
"Cedric?!" she said as she placed her hands on her arms, covering her cleavage and the fact that she was only in her underwear
"It's okay…don't be alarmed…" he said as he sat down on the ground, looking at her
"uhm…this is pretty awkward for me…I better go…." She said coming out of the water dripping wet, gathering her clothes
"I never noticed you had such a great body Granger…" he said blocking her way, smirking at her, almost the kind of smirk Harry had given her
"Thanks…I guess she replied sarcastically
Cedric just laughed, he watched her as she dressed up and as she headed back to her room, "I'll see you at 8, don't forget…" he said reminding her
"Yeah, I can't wait…" she said still walking and winking at him at the same time
I can't believe I just did that, she said to herself as she came in her room, good thing everyone was still sleeping and didn't notice she was gone.
She took a towel and whipped her hair dry, finally able to dress in dry clothes, she was finally able to sleep.
