Draco had prommised Hermione that they would go swimming in the Lake, but he hadn't had time.Finally, one morning, Draco awoke to find Hermione waiting at the foot of his bed.

"Yea babe? What are you doing here this early? It's Saturday." Draco rolled over and tried to fall back asleep.

"You said we'd go swimming." Hermione pouted. Draco shook his head.

"When did I say this?"

"I don't remember, but you promised. Please? Can we go?" Hermione climbed onto the bed and lay down next to him, and tickled his side. Draco gave a little half scream of laughter.

"Stop, that tickles!" Hermione persisted. Draco flailed, and fell off the bed. Hermione looked over the side of the bed.

"So...now that you're out of bed, wanna go swimming?"

"Fine, fine. Just...gimmie a moment to change, ok? You'd better get changed too."

"Wee!" Hermione squealed, and raced out of the room. Draco groaned and looked at the clock. 7:30.

"Good lord." Draco sighed and got up. He pulled off his clothes and pulled on his swim trunks. He came out of his room, carrying a towel. "Hermione, are you ready?"

"I'm coming!" Hermione stepped out of her room, carrying a towel and wearing a tank-top and shorts. "Can we go now?"

"Yes yes, we can go!" Draco laughed, his good spirits returning. "Let's hurry."

Hermione stood by the edge of the Lake, shivering. "Draco? Maybe this asn't such a god idea."

"Actually, now that I think about it, it's perfect. You need to get your memory back, and swimming will help. Now, take those chothes off and get in the water." Draco watched from the Lake.

Hermione pulled off her shirt and shorts to reveal a sparkly blue bikini. Draco admired her flawless figure. Hermione tentitively walked into the water, She laughed at the coldness and tried to ealk to Draco. She gasped when her feet didn't hit the floor. Draco swam over to her.

"That's right, now, first thing, I want you to lay on the water, and place your tummy on my hand." Hermione obeyed. Draco let his hand leave her stomach.

"Draco! I'm going to sink!" Hermione panicked. Draco calmed her down and put his hand back under her stomach.

"Relax. Let your body loosen up. Let it drift on the water." Hermione loosened up, and Draco once more pulled his hand away. Hermione began to float.

"Draco! Draco, I'm doing it!"

Draco's eye caught movement. It looked like a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff. They were holding rocks. Draco watched them throw rocks into the Lake, a past activity Draco thought was relaxing. He turned his attention back to Hermione. She was slowly swimming around.

"Good Hermione! You're really coming along." Draco praised her. Hermione grinned. "Hermione, you're swimming out a little too far!"

"What?" Hermione said. She was swimming towards a swirl of water in the middle of the Lake. A tenticle flew up over the water.

"HERMIONE! LOOK OUT!" Draco shrieked. The tenticle grabbed Hermione, and the Giant Squid loomed over the Lake, Hermione in it's tenticle. It waved her around, and flung her across the Lake and into the sand.

O0o0o0o0o pretty cliffie!
