Chapter 9 • Weekend Away

Quick apologies for this chapter... was sort of a filler.

"Carry me?" Holding my arms up to Draco, my puppy eyes melting any resistance he had. With a sigh, he hoisted me up on his back, piggy backing me all the way up a ton of stairs and down several corridors, thank Merlin for quidditch bodies. Snickering to my self, hearing Draco slightly pant I jumped down,
landing on the green couch. "I should head back to my room," "Or you could sleep here?" he offered, seeming rather nervous seeing as we had never slept together, "No funny business?" "None, I just want to hold my girl close," "I think that would be fine, I just need to run other to my room and get some Pjs," "Got that sorted already," he whipped off his top, passing it to me before shuffling me towards the bathroom.

"Hurry up!" He whined, whilst I chuckled brushing my teeth, with a spare toothbrush he had. The shirt was a dark green shade, reaching just pass my mid thigh, nothing wrong with a little teasing. "Damn," I stepped out to see Draco blocking Blaine's view, seeing as he walked in whilst I stepped out, a wolf whistle leaving his lips. "Seriously Blaise, you have a wife," "Fiancé technically," "You're engaged? It's been like twelve hours?" "We were betrothed so might as well," "Makes sense, any who if you don't mind, I'm going to bed," I left the two chatting, taking my leave and heading straight for Draco's room.

I pulled Draco's duvet back slipping under, "Wait for me," Draco laughed, diving on the bed and on top of my legs. "Get off you oaf," pushing him onto the floor, "You bitch," he groaned, pulling himself from the floor, "Stone cold," I winked, feeling his arms wrap around my waist, "Night my love," "Good night," he pecked my cheek before falling into a deep slumber.

"Okay, Mr Malfoy, Miss Gaunt, Mr Zabini, Miss Greengrass, Mr Longbottom, Miss Parkinson, Mr Gaunt, Mr Potter and Miss Lovegood, you are all heading for the Gaunt holiday home in France, you will be given a portkey which will bring you home at seven pm on Sunday night," we all nodded before heading for the portkey that would take us to our destination.

"Damn," I gasped out, once we had reached he villa which was practically a glass box, staring out to sea. "So what shall we do?" "Swimming?" "There should be some floats in one of the cupboards," Theo told, whilst the girls went to get changed the lads grabbed the floats before coming down we're we all met by the entrance.

"Damn," Draco wolf whistled, staring me up and down. I'm sure Theo would have done something if he wasn't flickering his eyes between Harry and Luna, who coincidentally has worn the same colour - a navy blue - Luna in a bikini and Harry in a rather tight pair of swim shorts.

*Theo, you're staring at them*

*Damn right I am, look at em, how could I not?*

Chuckling, I knocked Draco's jaw shut, seeing all the girls laughing at the rather flushed boys, "let's go swimming!" Pansy screamed, dragging a rather confused Nevill out of the villa. The girls and I decided on sunbathing on a few of the loungers we had on our private sector of the beach, the boys splashing and floating in the sea. I watched as Theo threw Draco off of his, Draco having a breakdown about his hair getting wet.

"So ladies, how we feeling about this marriage law?" "I'm fine, but Draco and I are meant to be, you and Neville is what I never saw coming," "Me neither, but he saved my life in the war, from my own father," "Wow, you never told me that," "Any who, what about you Luna? You're in a peculiar situation I must admit," Pansy asked, Luna perked up. "Well to be honest, I'm terrified, I know Ginny loves Harry and I never really knew Theo, apart from when I was locked in the manor he and Draco would sneak me and Dean some food down," "They did that?" I knew that was a risk for them both, if any of the loyal death eaters found out they would have died.  "Do you think you could love them?" "I do, it's them two loving each other that I'm worried about, I know Theo is open to it, but Harry was always straight," we understood her worry, as a soulmate you're not happy until her soulmate is and seeing as she has two it's possible for one of them not to be.

"I want them to be happy, but I'm worried about Harry, he's just moves houses and now he's found out he's supposed to love a guy and a girl, it's a lot for him," we all murmured in agreement.

"NEVILLE PUT ME DOWN!" Pansy shrieked, I turned to see Neville had her over his shoulder heading for the sea, I also didn't miss her checking his butt out. A splash then laughs could be heard, as Pansy came up for air, yelling about her hair, for Neville to shock us and her by grabbing her waist and silencing her with one passionate kiss. "I love those two together," Astoria spoke up, we murmured an agreement.

"Ladies! Come join us!" Harry yelled, I think Harry had started to come out of his shell a little more, but I'm sure once I tell him who I was, he'll be fully comfortable around us. "Let's go," We all started running towards the sea, meeting our respected partners. "Let me on," I somehow managed to shimmy my way onto Draco's float, 'accidentally' knocking him off.
"Rude," he slipped out before flipping the float. "Hate you," "Lies," he laughed, "Now come here," he picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist pecking my lips. "You happy?" "Ecstatic," "We should probably head in, it's getting a bit chilly out," that's true we had been out here for quite sometime, " What shall we do tonight?" "Well I'm planning going straight to bed," half the group agreed, swimming and the sun really takes it out of you. But today proved that we could all survive this marriage law and maybe Luna, Theo and Harry can love each other as well
