Chapter 2: Bed, bath and beyond.
She got out of bed and walked to the wardrobe. She took out her favourite pair of blue denim jeans, her pink t-shirt, her undergarments and her bath robe. She laid the clothes neatly on the bed and with the bathrobe in her hand, she walked out of her room towards the bathroom.
'Today will be a fun day' she thought to herself and stepped into the bathroom.
Just like the bedroom, the bathroom in the Head's Quarters, was also spacious and lavish. There was a wooden cupboard on the left of the door. It was divided in two halves vertically, one for Hermione and one for Draco. Each halve, had three shelves. Hermione had placed her toiletries and bathing products on the first shelf, her cosmetic products on the second shelf and spare bath towels on the third shelf. Hermione walked towards the cupboard and picked up her tooth brush, tooth paste and her bathing gels and walked towards the wash basin which was opposite the cupboard. She noticed that Draco's side of the cupboard was empty.
After brushing her teeth, Hermione walked past the water closet, towards the bath tub, placed the bathing gel onto the nearby shelf and drew the curtain which separated the rest of the bathroom from the bath tub. There were three hooks on each side of the wall, for clothes to be hung. Hermione undressed quickly and hung her clothes and her bathrobe on these hooks.
There was a shower head attached to the wall, above the left end of the bathtub. Underneath the same, were two different taps, one for normal water and one for scented water. Below that there was a small knob which was to be used to adjust the temperature. Hermione poured her bath gel in the tub and chose hot normal water. She climbed into the tub as soon as it was filled with bubbles.
Hermione slid down a little further. Bubble baths had always been her favourite way to relax. She loved the way the hot water felt against her body. She could lie amidst these bubbles forever. She closed her eyes and drifted into her own world.
After about twenty minutes, Draco entered the bathroom, whistling. Her eyes shot open. She sat upright in her tub and covered her mouth with her hand, to avoid making any sound. Her clothes were hung onto the hooks to the other side of the tub. If she moved, he'd know she was there and he would be shameless enough to immediately open the curtain, which was separating them right now, at the slightest sound of movement. Therefore, she stayed where she was, with her eyes fixed on the wall, full of terror. There was a chance of him walking to her side anyway, even if she laid still. She knew that all she could do was, be calm, remain quiet and wait till he left.
Draco on the other hand, seemed to be in absolutely no hurry. He wasn't doing anything in particular. He was just walking around the bathroom, whistling. He knew Hermione was on the other side. He had heard her shut the door. He also knew that she had forgotten to lock it, because he heard no click. He may have been spying on her. He enjoyed observing Hermione. He was constantly amused by everything she did. He didn't know why. He had noticed how well her body had developed over the summer, in the right places. At this moment also, he could predict the way she must be sitting, behind the curtain, in the tub, naked, against the wall, with her hand on her mouth. He ran a hand through his hair, smirked at the thought of a naked Hermione and said "Stop covering your mouth Granger. I know you're in there."
He heard a quick splash, which meant that she'd taken her hand off. He waited for a comeback. He got none. He knew why. He knew how uncomfortable he was making her. She was scared that he'd walk in there and see her naked. Even though he enjoyed tormenting her, he felt a little hurt by how scared Hermione was right now. Did she really think he'd stoop so low and take advantage of her in this situation?
'Despite what she thinks, I am not going to walk in there, but I will have some more fun. ', he thought to himself and placed his hand on the curtain. He heard her move.
Hermione quickly tried to cover herself with the little bubbles that were left in the tub and yelled "What are you doing Malfoy?"
"Oh, I thought you wanted me in there, next to you, doing dirty..." he replied innocently, while shaking the curtain a little bit.
Hermione didn't wait for him to finish his sentence. "Don't you dare. I will hex your arm off. If you don't want that happening, get lost from here" she replied angrily.
"Why should I? You're my favourite, little bird. I love to hate you." He replied calmly.
Before Hermione could say anything, she heard an annoying voice from the outside. "Ooooo Dracooooo" cooed none other than Pansy Parkinson. Hermione couldn't believe that he'd given her access to the Head's Dorm. She took a deep breath and said icily "Your little fuck buddy is here."
"Now, you may be a mudblood, but these dirty words don't suit the perfect little Gryffindor princess, now do they?" replied Draco, coolly and walked towards the door.
He opened the door and was about to leave. Turning back he said, "By the way, I know your wand isn't in here. How were you planning to hex me? I'm better at wand-less, silent magic, than you are. Thought you should know that." he said and left.
Hermione heaved a sigh of relief. She looked down at her bathtub. It was filled with bubbles. She realized that Draco had added those extra bubbles. She quickly got out of the tub, put on her bathrobe, took all her things and left the bathroom, only to see Draco and Pansy snogging as if it were their last moment together. She rolled her eyes and went to her bedroom, locking the door as soon as she stepped in. She placed her clothes on the chair near the study table and sat on her bed.
'What was that about? Perfect little Gryffindor princess? I love to hate you? You're my favourite? Wand-less magic? Has he bloody lost his mind? Also, why was I so annoyed the fact that Pansy had access to our dorm? Why did I call her his fuck buddy? I shouldn't have lost control and said that. Maybe this means nothing. I was just riled up by his presence two feet away when I was naked. Yes, that's what it was.' She thought to herself.
Hermione wore the clothes she'd placed on her bed. She went to the dressing table, next to her wardrobe. She did her hair, put a little make up and left the bedroom. She found herself looking at Pansy and Draco, who were still snogging. She looked at them for a second, shrugged and quietly left the common room, to meet Ginny.
