Chapter 6 "Into the Blue"
Hermione opened her eyes slightly. She woke up to find a ceiling with paintings of angels. She didn't know where they had come from. Then she remembered where she was.
She turned her head to see the clock. It was 8:30 in the morning. She sat up quickly; she had never slept past seven. She looked over to her left to find the space empty.
She frowned wondering where Malfoy was. She shrugged as she got up and went to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and got dressed. Then she went out to the sitting room to find Malfoy sitting on a sofa, looking tired.
He had a letter in his hands, which he put down when he saw Hermione.
"Hey, you're up. Finally."
"Morning. Why didn't you wake me up?"
"As much as I enjoy your company, I do need some time to myself. Besides, you looked tired, still do." He answered.
"Oh," was all she could say.
"Anyways. Are you hungry? I ordered some breakfast for you, hope you don't mind." He said as he gestured towards the round table where they had eaten the night before.
Sitting on the table was a tray with some plates and cups.
"Yeah, thanks." She said as she made her way over. She looked at the contents the tray held. There were two slides of bread, a bowl with cereal and a small plate with strawberries and one with butter. There were two glasses; one with orange juice and one empty, there was also a cup, which was empty too. In the middle of the table sat a teapot which contained coffee, and a small jug with milk.
She poured milk into the bowl with cereal, grabbed a spoon and began to eat.
She looked at Malfoy, who was looking at her. She smiled at him and he returned the smile briefly before looking away from her and gazing at the letter.
"What's that?" she asked him
"Nothing." He answered as he quickly got up and tucked the letter into his pocket.
She looked at him, and something in her expression told him she didn't believe him.
"Hey listen," he said to change the subject. "I was thinking that since we are here already, we might as well get out and get to know Seattle."
"Sure, why not?" she said as she buttered a slice of toast.
"Ok. So I'll let you finish your breakfast while I go change." he said.
"Okay."
As Hermione finished her breakfast Draco emerged from the bedroom fully dressed. He was wearing a pair of black jeans and a black turtle neck sweater. Hermione tried her best to not stare, but it was difficult. Black went wonderfully well with his tone of skin.
Hermione blushed and looked away, trying to not let him see her reaction.
"Ready to go?" he asked as he slipped a jacket on.
"Yeah." She answered as she too put her jacket on.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Hermione and Draco were sitting at a table in a coffee shop called 'Sleepless in Seattle', drinking coffee. (A/N obviously hehe :p)
They were both staring out the window, exhausted from the long day. They had gone here and there, exploring Seattle.
They were looking at the people walk by, all of them in coats. Then they saw a couple eating ice-cream cones pass by. Draco snorted and Hermione turned to look at him, surprised.
"Only in Seattle would you see people eating ice-cream when it's freezing outside." He said with a smile on his face.
Hermione laughed. She has thought the same thing.
They were about to leave when it started raining. Draco groaned.
"Damn it. I was hoping the rain would hold until we got back to the hotel."
At that moment one of the waitresses walked by him and laughed lightly.
"You're new around this place, aren't you?" she asked
"What makes you think that?" Malfoy asked instead.
"Well, your accent of course. And also the fact that you are whining about the rain."
"What do you mean?"
The lady laughed again. "In Seattle it snows for 2 months, there is sun for three and the rest are just rainy. You came while the rain is in its full mode." She said as she walked away.
Malfoy muttered that sounded like cussing.
"You don't like the rain?" Hermione asked.
"No." he answered simply.
"Well, I love it. Especially thunder storms, those are my favorites."
"Yeah, well. Where do you want to go now?"
"I don't want to go back to the hotel."
"Me neither."
"So?"
"I have an idea, let's go to the beach!" Hermione said all of a sudden
"Are you crazy?"
"I'm serious. I have always wanted to go to the beach while it rains."
"But it's too far." He whined.
"No it's not. It's like five minutes from here."
"How do you know?"
Hermione gestured to the map that was on the wall behind Draco. It showed where they were and where the nearest beach was.
"Oh."
"Let's go. Please?"
"It's raining buckets out there, Granger."
"So? Let's have fun."
"You call standing in front of the ocean while cold rain falls on you fun?" he asked incredulously.
"Yes!"
"Oh, alright. Let's go."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Isn't this great?" Hermione asked as she took her jacket and sweater off. If she was going to get wet all the way anyways, might as well as enjoy it.
"No it's not." Malfoy replied dryly. His hair was soaked and his clothes clung to his perfect body. "It sucks."
Hermione laughed lightly as she removed her shoes.
She then stood and started to run on the sand. She twirled and twirled. And then she stood completely still, feeling the rain hit her.
Draco watched, mesmerized. Damn that girl was weird. He too took off his shoes, but instead of running like a psycho, he sat down to watch the ocean.
He watched as the waves crashed into some rocks that were close to the bay. He smiled. He was relaxed, he felt as if every raindrop that fell on him and slid off was taking a bit of stress with it.
He got up, took off his jacket and walked towards the sea. He came to a stop where the waves that had crashed could reach only his feet. He shuddered a bit as he felt the cold water. He closed his eyes, a small smile playing around his lips.
Hermione came to stand besides him. He felt her presence but he didn't open his eyes.
"So… you were saying?" Hermione said teasing him
His smile widened, despite his effort to frown.
"That you were right, o powerful and wise witch of mine." He said sarcastically.
"That's better." Hermione laughed.
Draco laughed.
"Want a candy?" Hermione asked suddenly after a while of silence.
"Sure," Draco said without opening his eyes.
Hermione started to walk over to where she had left her jacket. On the way there she was thinking about everything that had happened to her in two days. She was thinking about how fast her life had changed, and how well she and Draco were getting along.
'He's nice when he really makes and effort' she thought.
She was halfway to her jacket when she heard Draco yell. She turned around quickly to where Malfoy had been, but she didn't see him.
She looked all around, searching for him. But she couldn't see him anywhere. Then she heard another yell, but this one didn't come from Malfoy.
She looked towards the sea, from where she had heard the yell. She gasped as she saw him, fighting with someone.
But what surprised her most was that they were fighting above the ocean. They were levitating.
She ran to the ocean, went into the sea until the water was just above her knees.
She took out her wand, pointed it up at them and was just about to mutter a spell when someone else behind her yelled one.
The man that Malfoy had been fighting with disappeared.
It had happened so fast, but Hermione saw it in slow motion.
Malfoy stayed there where he was, suspended in the air for a second. He looked down and then over at Hermione. He was about to say something when all of a sudden he fell, fell hard, right into the blue icy cold water.
