Chapter 2 - It's How You Play The Game
"I don't want to do this," Draco whined, as he slowly got his shirt on.
"Come on, don't be a baby. And you promised me you'd at least try," Hermione said through the bathroom door while pulling her own top on.
"Why do I even have to put this on?" Draco asked, drawing the breezy shorts up.
"Because they're comfortable to wear and won't be to stifling when we've been going at it for awhile," Hermione said, pulling her own shorts on.
"How long are going to do this?" Draco asked, as he stretched his arms over his head, pulling on his elbows and popping his back.
Hermione stepped through the bathroom door and into the living room while pulling her hair into a high ponytail. She threw her towel and a towel for her boyfriend onto the couch. "For at least an hour."
"What?" he looked at her with his mouth open. "That's too long."
"Suck it up," she said as she moved up to the TV. "You'll be having too much fun to even notice it's been that long." Draco stopped listening at that point as he admired his girlfriend's toned legs and her bum stretching the tight fabric of her shorts. The small of her back was exposed and he wanted to touch her smooth skin-
She turned back to him and he quickly averted his eyes, instead focusing on hers. She looked at him up and down and then frowned. "Lose the socks. You'll slip," she said, wiggling her own toes against the polished wooden floor.
Grumbling, Draco sat back on the couch and pulled off his socks. "What's this thing called again?"
A low sound rose from the speaker and then, as if in response, a women's voice said, "Just Dance! Yea!"
She walked to him in her blue sports bra and pulled him off the couch. She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the corner of his mouth, squeezing his exposed biceps in his muscle shirt. "Just give it a chance, please?" she pleaded.
He held her close, his hands around her waist and said, "Alright fine."
Draco knew none of the songs and performed horribly at every one. Hermione laughed at the young Malfoy heir who had taken ballroom classes since 5 but couldn't coordinate his hips with his hands. He had already fallen twice and Hermione had to pause the song in a fit of giggles.
He collapsed onto the couch exhausted, damp spots on his shirt on his chest and his back. He grabbed the towel she had brought out for him and dabbed his forehead. "No more, Hermione. This game is hard."
Hermione was sweaty too but she was having a lot of fun. She pulled him up by his arm. "Just one more."
She selected the song and the woman and male avatar came on the screen. This was closest one to some type of ballroom dance. With determination, Draco followed every motion and every step. Hermione was surprised just how well he was doing on this final song. When he passed her score, she growled which he laughed at but never broke his stride. They completed the duet sections, Draco twirling and dipping Hermione in time with the music and she could see that Draco was truly enjoying himself. The song ended with the woman dipped low by the man. They both were breathing fast, their faces close to each other. They smiled and Draco turned his head back to TV.
"I won? I won!" Draco screamed, dropping Hermione gracelessly to the floor.
She frowned but he didn't care as he was running around the room like a madman. "Let it be known, the devilishly handsome Draco Malfoy beat the infallible Hermione Granger."
She got up and shoved him before walking into the kitchen. He laughed and followed behind her, "Don't be a sore loser, Hermione. We can't all be winners."
