let me know what you guys thought.
Anyways, on with the fic.
Chapter 14: Where's Hermione?
---
Previously on Funny How Things Happen"Stop grinning Granger," Draco said. "This is not funny. When we get back to land, you will pay." He said glaring daggers at her.
"Mmhmm, I'm sure I will." She said rolling her eyes. "But for now, I need you to take that rope and tie it tightly to the front of the boat so I can tow you guys back to the dock." She said.
Dan did as Hermione said.
"Right is it tied tight?" She asked.
"Yes, I think so." Dan replied.
"Okay good. Lets go." She said and started her motor and began to tow the boys back to shore.
Draco and Dan now much more relaxed knowing they were going back to shore, both lied down in the boat.
Because of this, they didn't see the knot Dan tied, slowly come undone.
Now on Funny How Things Happen
Hermione happily made her way back towards the dock thinking that she might as well enjoy the silence because as soon as they hit land, she knew that Draco was going to have a little temper tantrum. 'Such a baby.' She thought and turned around to look behind her at the boys, only to see them floating meters behind her, no longer being towed into shore.
---
"Dan," Draco said and nudged his cousin with his foot. "Does it seem like we've stopped moving?" He asked.
Both of the boys had closed their eyes and leaned back to enjoy their ride back to the safety of dry land.
"Stopped moving? Draco I think you're going nuts we haven't- " Dan stopped talking as he got up and looked around. "Oh bloody hell. We have stopped moving."
Both the boys made there way to the front of the boat and looked down at the rope floating in the water.
"What's happened? Why is that not attached to Granger's boat?" Asked Draco starting to get angry. "I don't know, it looks like it came undone." Dan replied and looked up. "Relax," he said looking at Draco. "It's not like she's far, she can hear us scream. Look, she's already turned around." "Oh thank god." Draco said and plopped down on the seat.
---
Hermione pulled up beside the boy's boat. "Huh." She said raising an eyebrow. "Looks like I won't be asking either of you to tie a knot for me again, seeing as how this one clearly failed." She said grabbing the rope out of the water and tying it back on to the back of her boat.
"Shut it Granger. Just get us back to that bloody cottage where I can get away from you." Draco sneered.
Hermione glared. "Not a problem." She said through clenched teeth. She turned on the motor and floored it, sending Dan and Draco tumbling off their seats and into the bottom of the boat.
Hermione grinned. "That'll teach him." She thought happily and slowed down a little and made it to the dock.
---
Once she got to the dock, she jumped out and tied the first boat up. Then she walked to the back of the boat and untied the rope that connected Draco and Dan's boat to hers, and pulled them into the other side of the dock and tied the boat up. Then walked up to the cottage, into the bedroom and slammed the door.
"Well," Dan said climbing out of the boat. "I can see this is a great start to the day." And made his way up towards the cottage with Draco. Dan looked at the clock inside. It was only about noon.
Both the boys sat on the couch and stared at the little tv the Granger's had brought to use if the weather was bad and they were stuck inside. They continued to stare at it as if waiting for the people in the box that were normally there like at Hermione's house to just appear out of no where.
"Why isn't this bloody thing working?" Draco asked annoyed. "I don't know. Go ask Hermione." Dan replied looking bored. "No … I'd rather not talk to her if possible."
"Oh don't worry, it's possible." Hermione said coming out of her room making both the boys jump in surprise. "Hermione, we were wondering, how to you make the box people come out and entertain us?" Dan asked. Hermione walked over to the tv, grabbed the remote and started to explain to Dan how to use it when she noticed Draco staring at her.
"What are you looking at?" She asked.
"What are you wearing?" He said.
Hermione looked down at herself. She had gone into her room and put on a black bikini as she planned to go swimming that afternoon.
"Um. A bikini." She said. "What's it for? Why doesn't it cover you up properly like muggle clothes or wizard clothes?" He asked perplexed.
"Because it's for swimming in." She said looking at him weird. "What do wizards never swim? Please tell me you've seen a bathing suit before."
"Well some wizards swim of course, but we've never seen them wear anything like that." Dan said taking in what Hermione was wearing.
"Oh. Well, anyways," she continued. "This is how you work the remote." And she proceeded to show Dan and Draco how to use it.
"I'm going swimming in the lake if either of you want to join me." She said and pranced out the cottage door and down towards the lake.
---
"Do you want to go swimming?" Dan asked Draco. "No." "Fine. Well I'm going with Hermione." He said, and got up walked into their room shut the door and started looking for his swimming trunks.
Draco sighed and picked up the remote and started flicking through the channels. 'Hermione looked so good in that bikini type thing or whatever it was.' He thought to himself. Then he frowned. 'I can't think of her like that.' He though and shook his head and went back to watching tv as Dan came out of the bed room and headed out the door and went off to find Hermione.
---
'Ahhh this is so relaxing,' Hermione thought. 'Just floating around, nothing to worry about.' She flipped over onto her stomach and swam around a bit. She decided to swim down to the bottom of the lake to look around.
It was only about 6 feet deep where she was thinking so she wasn't to worried about anything. She took a big breath and dove under the water, just seconds before Dan came into her sight.
---
Dan saw Hermione go under the water, so he just put his towel down beside hers and waited for her to surface before he jumped in so he knew where she was and could swim out to meet her.
He waded into the water and waited for Hermione to surface. A minute or two had passed and she still hadn't come up. 'What the hell?' He thought. 'No one can hold their breath that long.'
He started to swim out into the middle of the lake as fast as he could. There had to be something wrong. He swam and swam until he was sure he was at the spot where he saw Hermione go under and then he dove under too.
---
At first Hermione thought everything was fine. 'This is so neat,' She thought as she watched some little fish swim around. She was almost ready to go back up to the surface when she felt something tug at her ankle.
She had been so busy looking at things, that she didn't notice an old fishing net attached to a busted anchor at the bottom of the lake that now had her foot all wrapped up in it.
'Shit.' She thought. She swam down a bit and tried to get her ankle free. 'This isn't gunna work, I gotta surface then come back down.'
Thinking the water was shallow enough she went to swim up and take a breath but she didn't make it. The watch was deeper then she had originally assumed and her fingers just made it to just below the surface.
'Oh my god.' She started panicking and kicking and pulling at her leg as hard as she could. She tried to reach her arms out of the water so that hopefully someone somewhere in the lake or on land would seem them and come rescue her.
Minutes passed and no one came. Slowly Hermione started to sink, and then lost consciousness.
