"Ah, Granger, what are we reading today?" The unexpected question made Hermione jump a foot in the air with a startled squeak, a hand slamming her chest. Draco stood there behind her chair. He grabbed the book in a heartbeat, reading aloud from a random passage, "Her palm searched the hardness, circled around the girth through the fabric and pumped, his hips supplying the  desired pace. Impatient hands and feet helped pull the slacks and trunks away to give her access to his velvety, hard rod.”

 Draco paused, clearing his throat. He was a man, after all, and far from immune to the images unfolding in his head, featuring a certain brunette and a bed. "Now you don't look like a buck-toothed beaver anymore, you can play with my wood, Granger," he lowered his voice suggestively.

99 Days - Day Sixty-Four Hong Kong part I

"I mean, we've been driving on this road for ages, it seems endless." He gestured towards the front window from his aisle seat halfway down the bus’s rows.

 “If you had paid attention to Ross, you would have heard that the Tsing Ma Bridge is over two kilometres long - a mile and a quarter - one of the longest in the world," Hermione cheekily quoted their guide’s earlier spiel. Draco tapped her wiggling nose playfully in revenge. His witch was in lecture-mode once again, and moreover, she was correct, too. He had tuned out the guide, the nasal voice irking him for some unexplainable reason.

 “Well love, I’m truly sorry for the lack of patience today,” he apologized. “I didn’t sleep so well last night.” Seeking forgiveness, Draco tenderly rubbed his nose along the column of her neck.

Day 60

“I’m not coming close to that fire-spitting mountain. Not even toe-dipping.” He pulled his scone away to make his statement. One lava spitting volcano is more than enough for a lifetime. He bit determinedly into the baked biscuit.

"I agree, don't worry." She giggled. "Well, you do have the choice between visiting the destructive force of a volcano, they describe it as a high-intensity activity with much walking. Or you can experience the human spirit with the beauty of nature. We're lucky in the end,  both are walking tours and marked as high-intensity."

“Not even toe-dipping with that volcano!” He reminded her with a raised finger.

“The city of Kagoshima it is then,” she closed the book with a thump. “Not even toe-dipping?”

“Not even the tip of my toenail!” The youthful look on his face was hilarious to watch. She bent double in laughter.

99 Days - Day 58

“I’m not touching whisky again.” Despite the sober-up potion, she still sported the mother of all headaches. “You can have your collection, but I’m keeping my paws away from that sweet water from hell.” Turning around onto her belly, she hid her face in the pillow, hoping to escape the rays of sunshine lighting up the room.

Draco pressed against her shoulder to make her shift again, whispering, "My dear swot was a little tipsy yesterday." He snaked an arm behind her back and pulled her into a sitting position. He brought an uncorked vial to her mouth and helped her consume a new dose of sober-up portion. "If I had a cauldron, I would mix you my special blend, which helps against the side effects of drunkenness." Carefully he let her rest against the headboard, pushing a few strands away from her forehead.

His eyes roamed over her face, grinning.

99 days - day 57

Hermione was in paradise.

Stretched over a sunbed, the sun heated her thighs and back, both well rubbed with sun cream, courtesy of her fiancé who took care of the job tantalisingly slowly. Her hair was shoved to the side, drying after a beneficial swim. It was curling the only way it did when it was the sun who did the job. The wavy type, as she loved the most.

Speaking of her fiancé, he was enjoying a thriller he borrowed from the library, stretched next to her. His hair had dried long ago, into the opposite of his well-kept hairstyle. Rather the look after you stood in a tornado, pointing everywhere. But Hermione was not planning on warning him about it. No, she kinda liked this unkept version of his, definitely since he hadn’t shaved in days and had this light blond stubble around his jaw.

*Day Fifty-Five*

Hermione woke up to an empty bed, the draperies waving with the soft breeze of the early morning. She found her wizard in his boxers, stretched out over the sunbed heavily leafing through their cruise book. A steamy cup of black coffee rested on the table next to him.

"What are you searching for?" Too lazy to make her own cup, her sight was still foggy, she sipped from the brew. Draco had mastered the art of making instant coffee by now.

He lifted an eyebrow at her audacity, "I'm looking for other ports with volcanoes. I won't be getting off at those." He took the mug from her grip and drank, silently defying her again to steal his hot beverage. The wind played with her messy curls and with the sun adding a golden layer to her brown tones, he also drank in the sight she formed dressed in her camisole and shorts, barefoot.

"Chicken," Huffing, Hermione went inside, heated her water with a flick of her wand and added some of the instant coffee. She returned to the balcony while stirring the dash of milk she had poured in at the last minute.

Day Fifty-Four

Hermione didn’t react straight away, looking mesmerised at another point as far as the eye could see. She whispered enthusiastically, “Draco, do you know we crossed a bay with two volcanoes guarding the cove?” 

Draco blinked confused, "I don't know what volcanoes are, I see several mountains." He spotted the conic shapes at the entrance while crossing, like two silent sentinels watching over the opening of the bay. Still, they looked like ordinary mountains, nothing special.

"They are mountains which can spit scorching hot lava out of their crater, capable of wiping out entire villages if they go active," Hermione remarked mindlessly. She sought the third low shape a little away from Tavurvur volcano. She pointed behind her, "That one called Tavurvur, for instance, erupted nine years ago together with its partner on the other side." She turned at the waist to point out the second peak, now behind them.

Dyad of Love chapter 3

Chapter 3: Renewed intention

A series of beeps disturbed her focus once again. “BB-8, can you just stop? I’ll eat after I finished this chapter.” Of late, she rushed through her duties as a moisture farmer to spend the majority of the daylight hours studying and making her own notes. Reading the tedious texts, after dark, under BB-8’s small light beam tired her eyes much faster.

“I agree with the droid.” Ben’s voice came from behind her.

“Don’t start, not you too. I’m not hungry yet, I just ate a short while ago.” She flashed him an annoyed look and returned to the page was giving her quite a headache.

“That book offers only healing techniques. Like to heal a kyber crystal.” He nudged her to turn the page.
