Swimming Naked

Twilight had come and gone, leaving three young friends alone on a beach under the twinkling night sky.

“It’s beautiful,” Hermione whispered, staring reverently at the crashing waves and dark sky.

“Yeah it is,” Ron agreed, taking her hand.

“I’d forgotten,” Harry said softly and they both turned to him. “I’d forgotten what beauty and serenity felt like.”

Harry turned to his friends, silence and seven years of friendship speaking more than any words ever could.

Ron suddenly broke out in a grin, unbuttoning his shirt. He threw the material onto the sand and starting taking off his jeans. Hermione looked away, but Harry began undressing too. She soon had nowhere to look but down to her feet, the offending clothes pooling in the corners of her vision. Their boxes appeared at her feet and she heard them run to the water.

Hermione looked up just in time to see two pale bodies dive into the salty waves.

“Come on, Hermione,” Harry called when he resurfaced, while Ron made dramatic beckoning motions.

Hermione sighed, tentatively reaching up and undoing the small buttons of her shirt. But after unfastening them all, she hesitated.

It’s just a bit of fun, she told herself. You need some semblance of fun after the last few months. And it’s not like they haven’t seen you naked before.

That wasn’t entirely true. Living together on the hunt had meant close quarters for all of them and she had caught brief glimpses of the boys and she knew they had caught brief glimpses of her too. But seeing a flash of flesh as they changed clothes or showered was one thing. Swimming naked together was something else. Something more.

“Screw it,” she said out loud to no one, quickly taking off her shirt.

Harry and Ron began screaming and clapping, but quickly stopped when she looked up.

“Turn around,” she called.

They complied, but she knew they were exchanging some words on the matter as they did so.

As fast as she could, Hermione took off her bra, jeans and briefs and ran into the cool water, not wanting to lose her nerve.

Harry and Ron cheered at the sound of splashing water before Ron asked, “Can we turn around now?”

The water was only at stomach height, so Hermione swam past them into deeper water before she turned around to face them.

“So this is a first for us,” Hermione said with a grin.

“The first of many, I hope,” Harry replied with a wink.

“Why are we doing this?” Hermione asked.

“Because we can,” Ron replied simply.

The three friends treaded water in silence for a moment, until Harry splashed Ron with some water, which of course made Ron retaliate. And while they were both too busy with each other, Hermione got into prime position and splashed them both.

If anyone could have seen them, they would have seen three young friends having the time of their lives. They laughed and smiled and joked. They were tactile with each other, hands on shoulders, backs to backs, lips to cheeks.

It was their first skinny dip. But it definitely wasn’t the last of their firsts.

“Would you lie to me?” Ginny asked.

“Of course not,” Ron replied.

“Is something going on with you three?”

“What do you mean?”

Ginny looked at him. “You know what I mean.”

Ron returned her hard stare. “No. Nothing is going on.”

“Okay,” Ginny replied with a nod.

Harry and Hermione walked in the door, each carrying a bag of groceries. Ginny greets her two friends before Harry and Hermione headed to the kitchen.

“I’ll see you later,” Ginny said, kissing Ron on the cheek.

“Bye,” he replied, closing the door behind his sister. He sighed, leaning his forehead against the closed door.

He locked the door and went into the kitchen. He kissed Hermione and Harry and helped them unload the food.

“Ginny asked.”

Harry and Hermione froze. “She did?” Harry said.

“Yup.”

“What did you tell her?” Hermione asked.

“What do you think?” Ron replied sarcastically before walking out of the room.

They found him in the bedroom, his head in his hands. Hermione sat down next to him, placing a hand on his knee. Harry kissed his head before sitting on the other side of him.

“I know we agreed not to tell anyone. I understand that and I accept it. It’s a small price to pay for what we have. But she is my sister, the closest person to me in the world, apart from you two, and I don’t like lying to her.”

“We know. We don’t like it either,” Hermione said.

Harry rubbed his back in soothing circles while Hermione leaned forward and kissed his cheek. She kept kissing until Ron turned his head and captured her lips with his.

“Tell me it’s worth it,” Ron said, almost pleading, and Hermione simply smiled in reply.

Ron turned to Harry. “It’s worth it,” Harry said with a smile, before kissing him.
