Chapter 4

In some way it felt as though time had stopped still, as Malfoys lips descended on me and his eyes began to close and so did mine and then instead I felt a water balloon pop on my head. My eyes open abruptly as the cold sensation washed over me and he was bursting into laughter. I think this was the first time I have ever seen him smile let alone laugh, but no I was not finished.

The water fight had lasted another good twenty minutes and it stopped when Harry told us dinner was ready, I borrowed some of Ginny's clothes and Malfoy grabbed some of Harry's and then I think it dawned on him that we were fighting and to him it was my fault because I had lied about his body, honestly what was he a thirteen year old girl with self image issues cause he doesn't look like the male models. Truth be told he could be a male model if he wanted to.

Harry nudged me and I knew that meant I had to say sorry for lying but I will not admit that he is a sexy beast where did that come from; I guess you can't lie to yourself huh. I went to apologise and I blurted out like I was five and was forced to apologise, "I am sorry I lied about your looks earlier… I didn't know you were so sensitive." So the last part wasn't really an apology but I did it the Hermione Granger style and smirked one that could even rival his.

"I knew Granger that you find me very attractive,"he said smugly like he was all that and I just wanted to punch him. Must control anger and be civil to the jerk, argh I just wish my husband was Goyle, even he would be better. Bad idea to randomly start laughing in front of people, quick deflect with a joke, bad idea don't know any jokes.

"Water fighting was funny," wow what a good come back, then I laughed again. Great now I am sounding like a crazy cat lady that Malfoy proclaimed I would become. Ginny saved me and was like well lets all have dinner like civilised people, Malfoy snorted and said something that involved my name and civilised.

So Malfoy decided that we should discuss the wedding, what joy can totally see this ending well. I know we are trying to be cooperative in some sense but it's not as though we have a past of surviving without fighting for more than an hour. So being my typical self and also planning most of Ginny's and Lavendar's wedding I had made a wedding plan for mine. So cross my fingers and hope he doesn't argue.

So there I was sitting at the breakfast table with my wedding planner book, tapping my feet waiting and then in rushes Malfoy with a small black file of his own, oh great he is deep down gay and knows what he wants for his wedding. I was about to make a retort, when Malfoy went down on one knee and held out the folder and when it open I was amazed.

There was over twenty different engagement rings, I wanted to have them all but I think I found the perfect one to symbolise our marriage it was a white diamond with a garnet and emerald on either side. It wasn't what I thought my proposal would be like but I guess in this new age nothing is the same, but the wedding will be, hopefully.

"Malfoy it's beautiful" and he replied, "So are you... haha just kidding now let's get over this lovey dovey mushy stuff and get to the more exciting part he said suggestively."

Perfect moment yet again ruined by the imfamous Draco Stupid Head Malfoy. I felt like we had turned a leaf but all we turned was Malfoy's personality from evil to mean. Instead of ranting and raving I took the jerk sorry joke he made. I laughed and then asked, "Malfoy when do you want the wedding?" I swear for a second I saw his face change to shock and then quickly it was back to his blank face, the typical Malfoy face.

Let's just say Malfoy had talked to Harry, okay he told me so and we had decided that everything I wanted via one thing would be changed, the colours would be red and green, not just a red and we planned to have it right before Christmas, exactly like my mum and I wanted. So that only leaves six months till we get married, I was informed that I would have a wedding planner and she would do pretty much everything for me.

Malfoy never worked, they owned various businesses and had excess amount of funds, considering that my healer training I wasn't going to start untill after the wedding, it meant seeing Malfoy various times. The library incident well lets just say I will be sticking clear of him for the rest of my life.

Well the incident started like the last four days, civil Malfoy and I were reading in the library, I could have taken the book to my room but foolish me choose otherwise and give Malfoy a chance. Ok Harry bet with me that I couldn't stand his company for more than 5 hours so I had a bet to win, but after the first day I had rather enjoyed the company and continued to read in the library. Of course I won the bet, free dinner for me.

Anyway all was fine until the third day which was a Thursday, as I was going throuhg books at a frantic pace I decided to grab about 5 or 6 books and take them back and hold them all in one trip. I am intelligent yes but somedays I lack common sense. So I tripped over a chair and the books went everywhere. All of a sudden Malfoy was next to me, picking me up and placing me on the couch his face was level with mine.

"Granger are you okay? Death by books was totally my way I thought you would die." I started laughing it was ironic in a sense; the things that give me joy could be my down fall. "You must be in pain if you're laughing at my jokes." He smiled at me, and then the weirdest thing happened. He leaned down and placed his lips on my forehead, like he was happy that I was okay.

I jumped up, "What was that for Malfoy?" did I mention saying this to someone who is six foot two compared to my five foot eight height was very scary at times. He just looked at me as though he was a hungry tiger and I was his meal for the night. He advanced on just like a tiger and in no time I was pushed up against the wall, helplessly trapped against him.

"Aren't I allowed to show affection to my future wife, I mean if I really wanted to I could have you right now, in the library, perfect setting for you hmm Granger." I was breathless, I don't know why I should be disgusted but all I wanted to do was to kiss him, grab his blonde hair and slam his lips against mine.

That's what I did, I KISSED Malfoy, I didn't know why but it wasn't soft and sweet but rough and passionate. It lasted about a minute before I realised and I pushed Malfoy away and ran to my room, with the help of my key because even though I go to the library all the time, I think the walls move like the stairs in Hogwarts.

As I just realised what happen, I was in denial at first, I didn't kiss Malfoy it was all a joke, a dream but I knew it wasn't. I tried to justify that it was practice for the wedding day but that was clear out of my mind when he trapped me, all I wanted was him. I don't want to know why I wanted him, he is still ferret face and I don't know if I can trust him.

He probably in the shower, trying to get the muggleborn germs off himself, well I know that I am going to try to avoid him, it will be hard considering the fact that we live in the same house. Maybe a vacation to get away from him, what a plan that is and who would I go with, Harry and Ginny, and Ron and Lavendar. Yes they all needed a little vacation.

So I apparated to Harry's and saw that fortuitous they were all there probably catching up or doing something coupley like they tend to do. "Guess what gang, we are going on a vacation and no you are all going, it's final."

I have the worst friends in the world, we decide to go to Australia for the vacation and they invite MALFOY, yes I understand that you are friends with him but the whole point of this vacation was to be away from him. I didn't tell you that but you should know that. So my plan to avoid him back fired and now all we are going to do is see each other.

We have just arrived in Western Australia, it's very small compared to London and is very hot here. Yes I can get a tan, but Malfoy would see me in a bikini and I guess I will wear my one piece and boardies and a t-shirt. Well Ginny who was the one to plan this even though she was pregnant she had an art for finding bargins a Weasley trait I assume had booked a house right next to the beach.

What she had failed to mention was that there was only three double beds and I didn't want to share with Malfoy but Ginny had insisted that we would have to get used to it and she swore that there were two singles, yeah right I bet she planned it this way the match maker she is. What a great friend she is, well I wasn't going to let this ruin my vacation.

I had decided that due to the 35 degree weather that I would take the chance to go for a swim and did I mention that some how my granny bathers went missing, guess Ginny is a medalling woman through and through. Well guess my bikinis were what I was going to wear. Everyone had agreed with me and we all got changed into our bathers, Malfoy had taken his bathers to the bathroom to get changed. Not a word said, I think since the kiss he has said about three words and they were all hello.

He was a puzzle and I wasn't about to work it out when I could go swimming in an ocean as blue as blue could be. I was the first one in the water and was followed by everyone else, Ginny who had been experiencing morning sickness had swum for a bit before her and Harry went back to the house to rest for a bit.

We were having a game of volleyball on the beach and because Ron wanted to be with Lav I was stuck with Malfoy. One thing I got to admit was that his swim suite showed off his chest and did I mention the abs. I guess I was lucky he wasn't Goyle, don't think I would want to see him in bathers.

We won the game and in the commotion we hugged then akwardly removed ourselves from each other as though we didn't want to. It was then I noticed that Ron and Lav had made their way to the house and Malfoy started to talk to me and it wasn't the word hello.
