Chapter 5 – the bathroom incident
Hermione awoke in the early hours of the morning. She was in her own bed but she was sure that she had fallen asleep in front of the fire. Then she remembered, Draco had carried her to bed, she had seen him. Eugh he touched me… but I guess I let him… She had only had a few hours' sleep, the dream had come back, to her dismay. She was in her deep scarlet slip, that she slept in, as she left her room for the bathroom. As soon as she pushed open the door the gigantic bath began filling up out of multiple faucets and taps. Bubbles rose from the water along with a slight steamy cloud. Hermione slipped of the nightie and dropped into the bath, sitting opposite the door.
Draco woke up, having heard Hermione heading to the bathroom. He stripped off and headed to the bathroom in just a towel. As he walked through the door he heard Hermione gasp.
'Draco what are you doing in here, get out!' She yelled as she pulled bubbles towards herself.
'Jeez calm down, this bath is massive and I want to have a wash, so I am going too,' He walked to the wall to hang up his towel. He pulled it off and stood for a second, naked, before dropping calmly into the bath. He knew Hermione was watching him all the time and he knew she was impressed by his body…
Hermione had watched him undress and secretly liked it. His body was perfect and even though she looked away, she was sure she caught a look of his cock. His muscled body ignited a passion within her, but she tried to resist it, remembering who he was and remembering how blatantly arrogant he had just been.
Draco was eyeing up Hermione's body in the water, the way it trickled down her shoulders and neck.
'I had truly forgotten how deeply arrogant you were, Malfoy,' said Hermione breaking the eerie silence.
'I'd forgotten how much of a prude you where Granger,' replied Draco 'you didn't seem to mind me carrying you to bed last night did you?'
'Actually, I was going to ask about that,' Hermione said calmly, not rising to Malfoys jibe 'was it the chance to have physical contact with a woman that made you move me, I wonder?'
Malfoy was not so controlled. 'seriously Granger?' He stood and Hermione did not look away. 'You think that little of me? I don't have to explain myself to the likes of you.'
'Actually, I don't think anything about you is little Malfoy…' watching him carefully 'but your attitude is petty and disgusting.'
Draco left the bathroom grabbing his towel on the way out. Damn, how did I let her get to me like that he thought.
Smiling to herself Hermione left the bathroom and went to her room to change for her first day of lessons.
Draco and Hermione did their best to avoid each other for the rest of the day, which was difficult considering they had every lesson together, as befitted a head boy, head girl team. Their first lesson was History of Magic with Professor Bins, which was as boring as Hermione remembered Harry and Ron telling her it was. Then they had an extremely interesting Transfiguration lesson with the new headmaster who taught them how to turn a dog into a table. Draco's was considerably furrier than Hermione's but both eventually managed the task.
The rest of the day blurred by for Draco, he was trying to think of a way to get back at Granger. Then he thought of that way she looked at him in the bathroom, he realised she liked him, and it was no strange feeling for Draco. He just never thought that Granger would be one of those girls who fancied him… He didn't mind it either, and he was willing to accept he thought she was exceptionally attractive. He didn't bother going to his last lesson, he went back to the dorm waiting to confront Hermione.
But when Hermione came in, her eyes were red and she was crying. Draco had not expected this; he did not know what to do. This is a first he thought…
