THE PHOENIX

Chapter Twenty-Two


Mitch and Severus came into the trailer the next morning cautiously in case they were doing something other that sleeping. Hermione was still on her side, but Draco was now laying facing her, his face nestled against her neck, their arms and legs entangled together.

Mitch looked to Severus and grinned, “I guess he’s healed now.”

Severus went to the sleeping couple and lightly shook them awake. “Come on you two, time for breakfast.”

Draco’s arms tightened around the soft body. “Go away,” he mumbled against her neck.

“No, I will not. You two need to eat something,” Severus said grinning.

“And we are not leaving until you two get up,” Mitch added.

Hermione looked to the two who were standing there, their arms crossed and grinning crazily at them. She kissed Draco’s forehead, “I think they mean it Draco,” she smirked.

Draco looked to Severus, “we’ll meet you there.”

Severus shook his head. “No. I know you two, we wouldn’t see either one of you for a couple of hours.”

“I guess he found me out, huh?” Draco said looking up to Hermione’s laughing eyes, before shifting onto his back.

“How does your back feel Draco?” Mitch asked.

“Good,” he replied moving his waist.

Hermione swung her legs over to the edge of the bed then stood up and arched her back, stretching gracefully. She gathered up her wild hair and tied it up at the back. She then threw the pillow to Draco. “Come on lazy bones, I’m starving,” she said smiling.

Draco groaned and got up. “You guys are cruel. I’m recovering here,” he said.

“Give me a break,” Hermione said rolling her eyes, then tugged on his arms to get him up.


Once they straightened themselves out and put on their runners, the four of them made their way to Hogwarts. They approached their usual table where the two of them were embraced by their friends. Draco was quite surprised to be hugged by Hermione’s friends. When Harry hugged him, then kissed his cheek, Draco pushed him back. “Cut it out Potter,” he said smirking.

Harry grinned at him and tried to reach for him again. “Ah, come on Malfoy....you know you liked it,” he said mockingly.

“Not bloody likely!” Draco replied but started to laugh when Harry was trying to kiss him again.

Hermione stepped between them and put her hand on Harry’s chest. “Back off Harry. He’s mine,” she smirked.

Harry sighed dramatically, “be still my heart,” and sat down heavily on the bench.

Hermione and Draco sat down across from Sirius and Remus after everyone calmed down. Not much of what happened the night before was brought up, instead they all talked about the good times they had during the week. A lot of the guests were leaving that day, so there were plans being made for the next year when Hermione would be racing full time. Quite a few of the table’s occupants followed the racing circuit pretty closely and knew of some of the races ahead of time.

Draco sat back for most of breakfast just listening to the way Hermione’s voice grew excited at the prospect of racing again. He slid his hand on her thigh and was glad her fingers found his, linking them together.

It was soon the end of the meal and people were starting to drift out of the Hall. Hermione hugged each of her friends in turn with a promise to keep in touch over the rest of the year. Mitch, Remus, and Sirius were left for last.

“Not coming to see us off ‘Mione?” Sirius asked grinning knowingly.

She looked to Draco then back to Sirius. “No, we have a wager we need to see through,” she said grinning.

Sirius looked to Draco then Hermione, then hugged her again. “Well then, I’ll talk to you later then. Take care ‘Mione,” he said then looked to Draco. “Draco,” he said nodding to him then left with Harry and Ron.

Hermione grabbed at Draco’s hand to pull him up the stairs. “You could have seen them off Hermione,” he said stopping her on the first landing of stairs.

She leaned in and kissed his mouth. “I could have....but I want you....in my bed....for the rest of the day,” she said in between kisses.

He grinned as he kissed her back. “Well, I can’t argue with that. Lead the way Granger,” he said.

They hurried up to their dorm, stopping at each floor to steal a quick kiss. By the time they reached their portrait, they were ready to crawl into each other’s skins. Once inside Hermione sealed the portrait so not to be interrupted. On the outside the witch in the portrait was trying to see past a sheet of paper saying, ‘DO NOT DISTURB.’

Hermione stopped in the middle of their common room and faced him. “Close your eyes,” she said grinning mysteriously.

“Why?” He said trying to pull her to him.

“You’ll see.”

“Fine,” he said closing his eyes and was then led to another room. He heard the sound of water running and opened his eyes. “When?” he said looking around.

Hermione looked around the bathroom that had been transformed almost identically to the waterfall from her photo shoot. Instead of grass, the floor was tiled with steps that led into a pool with a water fall that flowed at the end. When you looked up, it was to see the ceiling enchanted to look like the night sky complete with a bright moon and shining starts.

“Your godfather arranged this for us when he found out we liked the other one in the classroom,” she said smiling at the pleased look on his face.

“Severus did this for us?”

“Yeah, he did this while we were at the party last night,” Hermione said grinning. “There’s even jets of water that shoot out at the sides, our own little jacuzzi.

“A what?”

She laughed, “later,” she said as her arms went around his waist to slip under his shirt. “Now....I want to see you naked,” she said smirking.

“You do huh? Well, you first,” he replied.

She stepped back to kick her shoes off while her fingers slowly unbuttoned the front of her shirt. Draco watched as each button was opened of her shirt, drinking in the sight of her creamy skin as it was revealed to him. His hands went to the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head at the same time her shirt slipped off her shoulders.

She saw his eyes heat up as her fingers slowly undid her jeans. Her eyes roved over his chest and she licked her lips wanting to taste his skin. Her eyes followed his hands as they undid his jeans and slipped them down his legs. His arousal quite evident in his tented boxers.

She slipped her jeans off along with her lace black panties and unhooked her bra at the back. She then stepped into the warm water of the pool, feeling his eyes on her back while she heard his boxers slide down his legs. She looked up to watch him step down to join her in the water.

Draco had watched her as she went in the pool and knew he wouldn’t last.....this time around. He was so hard for her right now. He followed her in and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against him.

They both moaned as they came skin to skin. He started to kiss her softly, slowly, gliding his lips over hers in a loving caress. His hands ran up and down her smooth back. He pulled away, sucking her bottom lip into his mouth and was rewarded when Hermione tightened her hold around his neck and plunged her tongue into his very willing mouth. He groaned and gripped her bottom as he pressed his erection against her, sliding it between her legs.

She moaned as the head of his cock skimmed against her clit. She gripped his neck as she wrapped her legs around his waist, moving her hips until she felt his erection at her entrance.

He seized her hips as he inched his way slowly inside her heat, and stopped when he was sheathed completely. She leaned in to nibble on his neck as she moved against him. Draco bent his head back as he ground into her.

She moaned out and gripped his forearms as she bent her head back as well, arching her back, her hair trailing into the water. “Oh....gods....yes.....feels ....so good,” she said between panting breaths.

His fingers dug into her hips as he started to thrust hard and fast inside of her. “Gods...so tight......can’t....hold....back,” he groaned out as he thrust into her and held on as he ground more frantically against her. “Hermione!” he cried out as he came.

She felt him pulse inside of her and cried out his name as she came, gripping his cock internally. She came back up to tighten her arms around his neck.

He leaned in to kiss her neck. “I love you Hermione,” he said huskily, hugging her against him.

“Love you too,” she replied raggedly, trying to regain her breathing.


After they both helped wash each others bodies, Draco sat back with Hermione between his legs, her leaning her head on his shoulders as the jets of water pulsed against them. “So are you glad the week is over?” he asked kissing the side of her neck.

“It was a busy week. It will be nice to actually sit back and relax though,” she said smiling while her hands skimmed over his legs under the water. “It was nice to see Sirius, Remus, Mitch, and the others, to spend some time with them over the week.”

Hands slid along her stomach and sides to come up to cup one of her breasts. “It’s nice to have you all to myself now,” he said as his fingertips circled the nipple, leaning over to lick the shell of her ear.

She tilted her head to the side as he kissed along her neck, enjoying the feel of him holding her close. “Draco,” she said softly.

“Hmm?” He murmured against her neck.

She pulled away and stood up, holding out her hand. “Let’s go to bed,” she said smiling warmly.

He took her hand, then they both walked out of the pool. Hermione grabbed a nearby towel and helped Draco dry off, from his feet to his head. He stood still as her hands moved over his body, and moaned when she rubbed the towel along his cock, giving it a light kiss on the tip before coming up grinning. “Tease,” he said smirking as she then wrapped the towel around his hips.

It was now her turn. He started at her feet and dried each leg slowly. Her legs spread a bit more as the towel went up higher at the inside of her thighs, his lips moving up her hips, nibbling the skin, then to run his tongue over the bite soothingly. His fingers grazed her folds and clit before moving up to dry her stomach. His arms went around her back with the towel as his tongue swirled her puckered nipples briefly.

“Draco,” she groaned as her hands went to his shoulders.

He looked into her eyes then and saw the desire mirrored in them from his. He smirked to himself then scrubbed her hair and shoulders before wrapping the towel around her body. He did a drying spell on her hair as he ran his fingers through the long tresses, then let her do the same for him.

He picked her up, his arms under her legs and back as he carried her to the bed. Her arms went around his neck as she licked along his neck. He placed her on the middle of the bed as he followed her down, kneeling over her. He bent down to kiss her nose, then moved to each cheek, letting his lips linger briefly. He shifted his weight to the one arm as he placed his hand to the side of her face. He brushed her hair from the her cheek then trailed his thumb across her lips, while looking into her eyes. “I love you,” he said softly.

Her hand came up to the back of his neck to bring him closer. “I love you too,” she replied and sighed as their lips touched. Her other hand went to his back to pull him down on top of her, spreading her legs to accommodate his lower body. Their kiss was soft and tender as their lips slid against each others. He moaned out loud as her tongue slid along his lips to deepen the kiss. His tongue met hers to slick along hers while his fingers moved down her neck.

He kissed the corner of her mouth then licked his way along her jaw until he reached her neck. Her head went back against the pillows as he nibbled his way along her neck, her fingers tangling into his hair.

His wet kisses trailed lower to her collar bone, tasting every inch, then moved to the other side to give it the same attention. His hand found it’s way to the edge of her towel to tug it open slipping his hand in to touch her heated skin.

Hermione arched her back as he cupped her breast, fondling the fullness of it. She groaned as her nipple was grazed with his fingers. Her hand reached down to pull his towel away from around his waist, her legs rubbing against his.

His mouth moved lower, nibbling the upper swell of her breast. He laved around each breast, taking his time, while his hand moved down to her waist, slipping it behind her arched back to bring her closer against him.

“Draco,” she moaned, “please.”

He smiled against her skin before flicking his tongue against the pebbled peak, her hand going to the back of his head to bring him closer. He pulled back to circle his tongue around the nipple, liking the feel of it puckering even more against his lips. He finally wrapped his lips around the nipple to suck the nub into his mouth as she writhed beneath him.

She groaned as his mouth left her nipple until he moved to the other one, putting her through the same sweet torment as he did on the other one.

He shifted lower as he gave each nipple a quick flick with his tongue before kissing his way lower down the center of her stomach. He placed both hands at her sides as he flicked and nibbled his way across her stomach and sides, feeling her shivering from his touch.

Hermione lay there, her body melting from his kisses. Her hands went to his just so she had something to hold onto as his mouth moved lower. She felt his teeth graze her hip bone and his hand moving further down. She spread her legs more as his fingers slid through her pubic hair, then down past her clit to her slit. She moaned and grasped a handful of sheet at her sides as she felt his hands spreading her more. He leaned in and kissed her extended clit with wet lips before tasting her. He used broad strokes up and down her slit and around her clit.

He looked up at her while his tongue delved along her folds, then probed inside of her opening. Her head was bent back against the pillows, her chest heaving as she moaned out his name. He moved back up to circle around her clit while he slid two fingers inside of her up to his knuckles. He placed his lips around her clit then, giving a light suction as he flicked his tongue against the sensitized nub while he moved his fingers in and out of her.

“Gods....Draco!” she moaned bucking her hips up into his mouth.

He started licking her clit faster as her moans got louder. He soon felt the muscles in her thighs tighten as she was at the peak of her climax. He applied more pressure against her clit making her cry out her release. Her inner walls contracting around his fingers.

He slowly slid his fingers out to lap up some of her juices before kissing his way slowly back up her body. He nibbled his way up her neck, feeling her pulse beating rapidly against his mouth, then braced his arm at the side of her head as his hand went between their bodies positioning his erection to her entrance, looking deeply into her eyes.

Their eyes closed briefly as he slowly sheathed himself in her heat. He kissed the corner of her mouth, then moved to capture her lips to his. He started to thrust slowly and deeply inside of her. When he was all the way in he ground against her, making them both moan out loud.

He brought his one knee forward while his hand skimmed up her outer thigh as it wrapped around his hips. His thrusts started to quicken as he gripped her hip, her hips lifting off the bed as he thrust deep and hard.

Her hands glided up his arms to his back, as her moans got louder with each forward thrust of his hips. Her leg tightened around his back as she met him thrust for thrust. She reached up to pull him closer as she leaned up to nibble onto his neck. He bent his head back as her teeth bit onto the skin.

He felt the vibration against his neck as she moaned out his name as her climax reached it’s peak. Not being able to hold off anymore, feeling her walls tightening around his shaft he thrust fast and deep a few more times to grind into her as he pulsed inside of her, emptying himself inside of her again.

He leaned in to kiss her damp neck while her arms went around his back, hugging him close. His lips moved up to kiss along her jaw until he reached her mouth, giving her a brief but soft kiss. “Love you,” he said softly.

She smiled up at him, “love you too.”

He pulled away from her to lay on his back, bringing her to his side. She looked down at him from her very cozy position. “We’ll have to do that more often,” she said grinning.

“Do what?” he smirked, rubbing his hand up and down her back.

“Have sex on a bed,” she said smirking. “Although the other times were definitely memorable too.....and I finally got that wager you owed me.”

He laughed and pulled her down where she snuggled into his side, kissing the top of her head before they both drifted into an exhausted sleep.
