here's the second chapter, as promised.

chapter twenty-one:

hermione awoke to dracos arms around her, his hands clasped together down by her waist. she was curled up in a little spoon position, draco spooning her from behind, her back against his chest.

draco was still asleep as hermione blinked the sleep from her eyes, her hands going down to rest on top of his. her stomach was bare, the shirt having rolled up to reveal one of her breasts, chilling her slightly.

the pads of his fingers rested just above her belly-button, but when she breathed in his fingers traced up her stomach.

hermione rolled over, dracos hands unclasping and falling to the bed. she brought her hand up to his cheek and traced some circles near his nose. his eyes fluttered open briefly and then closed once more as a low hum emnated from him.

"wake up sleepy head." hermione said softly as she pressed a gentle kiss against his lips.

"five more minutes." draco mumbled sleepily, one of his hands coming up to lightly thwap against her face.

"we have a teen wanting to see her mother today waiting on us."

"what time is it?"

"six o'clock."

"six?"

"yes, six."

"why so early? visiting hours are at ten."

"i figured we could make out."

dracos eyelids popped open, his eyes darkening immediately and his pupils dilating.

"now that's what i'm talking about." draco growled, his lips getting increasingly closer to hermiones.

"i figured."

dracos lips grazed hermiones, his lips tauntingly close to hers. hermione quickly closed the gap as she pressed her lips to his, her hands finding their place in his stringy bed-head. draco elicted a small moan out of the woman as he slid his tongue into her mouth and pressed his lips harder into hers.

hermiones fingers tangled in his strands of bed head, her fingers untangling his messy hair.

draco moved his lips away from hermiones to press soft kisses against the side of her lips at the corner of her mouth. hermione opened her mouth slightly to let out a breath of air that she didn't know she had been holding.

he moved back to his original placing and - once more - slipped his tongue into her mouth to trace across the familiar terrain. their tongues danced a familiar dance while their lips moved around each other, pressing together both harshly and gently.

draco moved his hands from around her and wound their way down her waist, down to her hem on her underwear. draco slipped the material from her body as she helped it get all the way off her body.

at the same time, her hands swept from his hair and down to his underwear. they were quickly stripped from his body, the only clothing covering either of them was the shirt on hermione.

hermione moved her lips from his and turned her head to the side to find her nightstand, which her hand quickly went to, pulling the drawer open to grab a small plastic package.

draco got up onto his knees with a grunt of disapproval from having to part from his assault to the woman's lips. he put the condom on and then looked down at the woman in between his legs, her eyes closed, waiting for his lips to reunite with hers once more.

he got back down onto her body, lowering his bare chest against her covered breasts. his head angled as her chin rose up to give him access to her neck.

his lips wrapped around the figure of her throat, his tongue coming out to lick across her soft skin. his throbbing member was across her hot sex, the tip teasing her coochie.

"stop teasing me." hermione groaned. her hips bucked forward, his tip finally plunging into her folds as she flexed her hips against his slow rhythm.

"fancy slow sex?" draco whispered into her ear as he nibbled on her ear lobe.

hermione didn't respond with words, instead letting out a long moan as he slowly dived fully into her.

his member stayed plunged in her, her hips trying to flex against his as he stayed put. a long growl got cut short from a moan as draco somehow pushed farther into her, their hips connected now. hermiones head tilted back, her hands gripping tightly at fists full of bedsheet.

hermione stifled the rest of the moan as best she could as she tried not to wake grace.

draco finally began moving once more, his rhythm staying painfully slow.

hermiones hips finally adjusted to his rhythm and flexed as he dipped his cock into her folds.

draco attempted to peel the shirt off of hermiones body while still driving his cock into her. her shirt got tangled around her arms, causing her vision to be blinded momentarily as it was pulled unstuck from around her face and arms.

draco slowly increased his rhythm, hermiones hips adjusting to the rhythm as well. he sped up to a normal pace, one that he normally takes during their sex.

"draco, i'm going to cum." hermione groaned out, a moan slowly following as draco dipped into her good spot and stopped there.

"me too." draco answered. his teeth were gritted slightly at the pressure around the base of his cock because of her tight walls.

"too tight?" hermione asked as she wiggled her hips slightly in an effort to find a more comfortable position to have her pussy at. she tried relaxing as he moved out slightly, her walls unclenching before he pulled out and resumed his rhythm.

his hips moved in a slightly tougher movement, his tip hitting against her walls at each slight movement. both pairs of hips flexed at the same rhythm. draco moved in and out, the pressure in his balls increasing as he reached closer and closer to his climax. hermiones muscles in her lower stomach and abdomen clenched and unclenched in harsh movements as cum began to leak from her pussy as she climaxed.

draco climaxed at the same time, the condom blocking any cum to spill into her pussy as both stopped thrusting.

"that was amazing." hermione breathed as draco collapsed on top of her in a heap.

"amazing sex with you is no shock." draco said as he leaned his forehead against hers.

hermione stood by the stove flipping pancakes in a pan, her flannel draped around her t-shirt. she had donned some shorts so that when grace awoke she wasn't in her lace panties.

draco was getting out plates and cups as they heard a slight creaking noise.

the door to the office was the only door that creaked, which told the pair that they would be seeing grace soon.

grace walked down the hallway, her bare feet padding against the cold floor. hermione smiled at the teen as she emerged from the hallway in some of hermiones clothes.

she had on a plain, slightly faded sky blue t-shirt that reached all the way down to her knees along with a pair of black shorts that were covered by the t-shirt. both things hung loosely off of her body, her skinny frame barely being enough to hold the items of clothing to her body.

"did you sleep good?" hermione asked as she dished out the pancakes to the plates draco had set on the counter for her.

"yes, better than i've slept in a while." grace answered, her voice more prominent than it was the day before.

"that's good," draco answered. "hungry? hermione made pancakes."

"starved." grace answered, some of her humor showing through her normally closed off personality as she gave a small chuckle to her joke.

both draco and hermione smiled wide at the girls laugh, the sound ringing through the room with a small bell-like chime. the noise was a very welcomed sound as it was the first time either of the adults had heard the younger girl laugh.

"you can sit wherever you'd like." hermione said as draco handed the girl a plate with pancakes on it.

"really?"

"yes, our home is yours."

"thank you."

"it's our pleasure."

grace found her way to the couch, her small frame curling up into the corner of the couch as she sat down. nat climbed out from underneath the coffee table and padded up to draco, meowing at the man for breakfast.

draco gave off a chuckle and walked over to the pantry, where he found the kittens food. he dished out breakfast for the kitten and then padded over to where hermione was finding the syrup from the pantry and wrapped his arms around her delicate waist.

"thank you for breakfast." draco whispered in her ear, nipping at her earlobe.

"you can thank me by eating the pancakes that are getting cold." hermione said as she wriggled out from his grasp and swatted at his hand as he tried to pull her back to his embrace.

"fine."

draco scoffed as he walked over to the counter and grabbed his plate and two forks, handing one to grace as he crossed the couch to get to one of the chairs.

"thank you." grace said as draco handed her the fork, to which she was responded with a nod.

"fancy tv?" hermione called out as she finished dishing out her own pancakes.

"sure." both draco and grace said at the same time, which made the young girl laugh. this laugh was free, not a strained chuckle at a joke or statement.

draco turned the tv on and then reached over to hand the remote to grace. grace took the remote and switched through the channels, finally resting upon the tokyo olympics of 2020.

all three sat around the tv and ate their pancakes while watching the olympics. it was the diving division.

draco got up to go to the bathroom, leaving hermione and grace in the living room all by themselves while the movie played. hermione glanced at the girl to see how she was responding to this new environment.

grace looked happy. she had a big smile on her face as she dug into her pancakes. she ate a lot slower than she had yesterday, her hunger quenched from the sheer amount of food that she had consumed. her legs were crossed and folded on the couch as she had the plate in one hand and her fork in the other. her hair was draped around her shoulders, some strands resting on her forehead and in her eyes. her skin was a lot brighter than the day before because of the bath she had taken the night before. where she had been previously covered in dirt and dried blood, her skin shown through. she had lots of freckles all over her body, covering her arms, legs and facial features. she had some scars lining her arms and legs. most of them looked like they were made by surface level cuts that were reopened a few times, but some were sticking out, indicating that they're deeper than the first couple layers of skin. she had on hermiones baggy clothing as pajamas.

hermione took in the sight of the girl until grace finally glanced over and saw hermione. her smile momentarily disappeared until hermione gave a big smile. the smile was returned with a huge smile and lightly blushed cheeks.

draco returned from the bathroom and emerged from the hallway, taking his plate up from the coffee table and sitting back down in one of the chairs.

as the china team began to dive, all three people finished their pancakes, each stacking their plate for hermione to carry away into the kitchen.

as the gymnasts preformed their routines on the bar, hermione washed the dishes and out them into the dishwasher.

hermione, grace and draco were in a taxi driving to the hospital. eire silence filled the taxi as the three waited to arrive at the hospital.

grace walked slowly through the hallway as her heart beat in her ears. her entire body was shaking, every muscle in her body trembling and tight.

hermione and draco walked at graces pace slowly behind her. both were anxious to see graces mother and explain the situation to the woman. each watched grace with the same weariness, their brains having no trouble recognizing the stress emanating off of the young girl.

finally, when the closed door in front of them read 376, all three stopped.

slowly, grace reached out to grasp the door handle. as she turned it, her body went rigid with dread as to what was behind the door.
