They spent a pleasant afternoon together down by the pool, eating the picnic that Chives had lovingly prepared for them whilst sitting on the edge, dangling their legs into the water below. It became quickly apparent that they had much in common. Whilst Thea knew he was intelligent, always having been her intellectual rival at school, she was surprised to learn that his love of reading was almost equal to that of her own. She was even more surprised when he admitted slightly shame facedly that he had a large collection of Muggle books that his mother used to read to him as a child, diligently working her way through the tales of Peter Rabbit.
Thea laughed as he openly told her stories from his childhood, chuckling at the thought of a young Draco sat on his mother’s knee, bouncing in delight at the adventures of the woodland creatures and the occasion that he had entered his father’s study whilst he was in a business meeting with members of the Ministry, only to climb up onto a spare chair and hand a Peter Rabbit book to a very surprised Minister himself, demanding he read it that instance!
Tears of laughter were streaming down her face now as Draco told of the shocked look on Lucius’ face upon his request and then the equally shocked look on those of the rest of the members present as the Minister had taken the book from a young Draco and proceeded to read the entire way through it, forcing all in the room to join in acting out the voices of the different animals. Apparently Lucius hadn’t been able to live it down for weeks at the Ministry and people had spoken to him only in a voice akin to a rabbit or else sent him what promised to be really important memos with caricatures of himself inside, complete with bunny ears and a fluffy tail!
She was even more impressed when he confessed his childhood love for lego, a Muggle toy consisting of little plastic bricks that interlocked with each other, allowing the user to build anything within their imagination. Clearly Draco had been a lovely child, far more accepting and certainly much happier than he had appeared at Hogwarts.
She lay back onto the grass next to the pool, continuing to dangle her feet into the cool blue depths whilst sunning herself. Since she had arrived at her father’s Manor the grounds had been one of her favourite places to be. Almost a bubble away from reality they were filled with beautiful flowers, bursting forth from every bed and scenting the air around them. Magical herbs and plants had their own dedicated walled garden whilst an orchard provided them all with a variety of fruits all year round. She was content to just lay there, listening to the sound of bees buzzing lazily as they gathered nectar and the deep baritone of Draco’s voice as he regaled her with stories of his first training broom and how he had tried to outwit the house elves by flying over their heads to the shelf where he knew they kept the treats.
He had been slowly moving closer to her all afternoon she noticed idly. Not that she minded, she felt entirely comfortable in his presence and took great carnal pleasure in the heat that radiated off him, the sparks shooting through her from the point on her ankle where he was rubbing lazy circles absentmindedly, setting her alight. It had been today more than any other that she had realised that she could have a relationship with this man despite his past, in fact no! That she wanted a relationship with him. He was intelligent and respectful and seemed to constantly raise her up when they debated, instead of putting her down as her absent friends had so often done, threatened by her intelligence or else more interested in things such as quidditch or discussing the latest gossip in Witch Weekly.
They idled away time just talking, content with simply being in each other’s presence until dusk started to set in, turning the sky a muted shade of lavender. Concluding that his parents would soon be home Draco stood up and offered Thea his hand, feigning that he was dragging a great weight up when she accepted it and rose to her feet.
Outraged at his suggestion of her being particularly heavy, Thea waited until she was all the way up before offering her a hug in thanks, an evil twinkle sparkling in her eyes. As he accepted her offer, a look of delight on his face at the prospect of being even closer to her she placed both her hands flat upon his chest and pushed with all her might, cackling with laughter as he stumbled backwards into the pool and rose from the surface again, water dripping down his alabaster skin and tousling his usually perfect hair.
She wasn’t laughing for long however as with a cry of “You cheeky witch!”, Draco was out of the pool in a shot, scooping her up into his strong arms and jumping back in, making sure to fully submerge her.
She broke the surface gasping and spluttering, screaming curses at the aristocratic blond who was laughing his head off, still holding on to her with his arms around her waist. The water, she noticed, had caused his shirt to cling to his chest, the muscle below evident and tempting. Without realising, she ghosted her fingers over it, taking in the sculpted heat, trailing them up his neck and along his strong jawline that was now stiff as if in shock. He wasn’t laughing anymore. Looking down at the soaking witch in his grasp he gulped, knowing he would no longer be able to resist. He lowered his head towards her slowly, entranced by the deep blue of her eyes, feeling her shiver in his hands, with cold maybe or anticipation? Capturing her lips he kissed her softly and sweetly, barely more than a brush, testing the waters. When she didn’t pull away and instead pressed herself closer to him he took her lips between his own once more, kissing her harder this time, almost hungrily, one hand holding on to her lower back, the other roaming her body, revelling in her soft curves. With a soft moan she lifted her own arms around his neck and held on as he pulled her up, wrapping her legs around his waist as he continued to devour her, hearing her squeak of pleasure as he pressed his hard length against her warm core. Thrusting against her, he made his way down her neck, trailing kisses and lifted her even higher so he could kiss alone the soft curve of her breast, one hand rising up the inside of her top to brush against it, feeling her nipple harden at his touch.
A clanging sound echoed from within the mansion as one of the house elves dropped something in the kitchen and their bubble was broken. Breaking apart they gazed at each other, shock evident in each of their eyes but a contented smile growing on both of their faces.
