Hermione woke up early the next morning. She was excited to be on holiday, and couldn't wait to go and cool down in the pool. She put on her swimming costume, and covered up with a T-shirt and some shorts. Tying up her hair, she wondered if Draco was up yet. There was a soft knock on the door behind her, and she turned wondering if it was the room service she ordered.
Opening the door she saw not the room service but, Draco. He was wearing shorts and a T-shirt and his normally immaculate hair was damp and slightly wavy. Hermione couldn't help looking him up and down. Draco smirked, "Like something you see, Granger?"
She flushed and looked back at his face "What do you want, Malfoy" she snarled. But instead of taking offence, this seemed to amuse Draco more.
"I was wondering if you fancied breakfast, or, Maybe something more" He smirked again, winking at Hermione.
She rolled her eyes at him, grabbed her bag and made her way out into the hallway. Locking the door, she glanced at Draco, who was still smirking at her, and strolled off towards the lifts. She knew he was behind her, she could smell his aftershave again. The same musky vanilla smell as last night. She stalked into the lift and pressed the button, still avoiding Draco's gaze.
"What do you want to do today?" he asked
"I was planning on spending it by the pool" she replied, focussing a little too intently on the lift doors.
"Mind if I join you?"
She looked over at him, he never looked this good at Hogwarts. Oh God, he's seen me looking again, she thought. He's going to think I fancy him, which is just laughable. She giggled to herself and Draco looked over, confused. Great, now he think's I'm crazy.
Reaching the lobby, they made their way over to the buffet. Hermione was feeling quite hungry now, so piled her plate full of watermelon, apricots and plums. She felt Draco brush against her and shivered.
"I'm going to get a table" she mumbled, and walked as fast as possible, without looking like a moron, towards a table. She chose one that overlooked the pool, and sat down happily. It was a gorgeous day, no clouds to be seen. She could relax here all day, quite happily. Well, until her view was blocked by a blonde head. Draco had sat down opposite and was eating like there was no tomorrow.
"You're just like Ron. You never stop eating" she said, looking slightly nauseous. He just grinned at her, and she felt her stomach jolt.
After Breakfast, Hermione and Draco made their way down to the pool. She chucked her towel and bag onto the nearest sun bed and made her way over to the water. Dipping a toe in, she shuddered. The water was still cold. Maybe I'll just sit on the edge until it warms up. She thought.
Suddenly, something brushed against her and she lost her balance. As if it were slow motion, Hermione found herself falling into the pool. Hitting the water was like hitting freezing ice, she yelped and turned around to see Draco laughing his head off at her.
"You- You - I'll" She stuttered. She saw him make his way over to her,
"I'm sorry, Hermione" he laughed, tears were running down his face.
"Here" he said, and held his hand out waiting for her to grab hold of it.
Hermione grabbed his hand, but instead of being pulled out, she tugged and Draco too, lost his balance, smashing into the water next to her. He too, yelped and turned to glare at Hermione. Even though the pool was cold, something hot was running between them both. Laughing, Draco grabbed her hand and pulled her to the side of the pool.
"You'll be sorry for that" He whispered. He moved close to her neck, and felt her stiffen. Smirking slightly, he put his mouth within an inch of her shoulder, He's going to kiss me She thought.
SPLASH
A cold wave of water hit her right in the face. Rubbing her eyes angrily, she saw Draco was once again laughing at her, he climbed out of the pool and went back to the sun bed. She could still hear him laughing, and furious at herself, followed him out of the pool.
