Breathing life into her

His arms instinctively wrapped around her small body, pulling her next to his bare chest. She kissed his pink lips furiously, running her tongue along his lower lip. His pale eyes reflected silver in the pale moonlight of the room. She didn't really know what she was doing, all she knew is she wanted to kiss him forever. Her hands ran up to his blonde locks, messing up his wet hair. He grabbed both sides of her face, pulling it as close as he could. He walked forward forcing her to walk backward until her knees hit the bed. She fell back and he fell on top of her, his full weight pressing up against her. He felt a stirring in his shorts. He wanted this so much, but not at the expense of her sanity.

"Is this what you want?" he whispered in her ear, sending goosebumps up her body. She bit her lip, not knowing what to say. She nodded her head for him to continue. He ran one finger down her chest and stomach to her waist, finding his mark and rubbing it lightly. She moaned and squirmed under his touch, telling him she was in need. And he was happy to fulfill that need for her. He rubbed harder, inside her scant panties, while kissing her and licking her lips. Her backed arched to his motions. She had been neglected for so long the attention was driving her to the brink and back. Her hands ran along his pale smooth skin, feeling his spine and back muscles as he sucked on her neck and collarbone. She let out a small gasp as he nibbled her skin. It was driving her crazy, she could feel herself becoming wet and ready for him. Is this what he wanted? She didn't want him to think she was just using him again. She brought her lips to his ear.

"Is this what you want?" she breathed into his mind. Her words clung to him.

"Hermione, I have never wanted anything more in my life." and with that his mouth plunged down on hers, taking her breath away. She felt lightheaded and her body melted into his. Soon his hands were tugging at her panties. He yanked them off and tossed them across the room. She raised her arms over her head and he relieved her of her tank top. He pressed his bare chest against hers; he could feel her heart beating under her pale skin. Her breaths rose and fell with his as his lips moved over hers once more. He kissed down to her smooth breasts, kissing each one softly before sucking on her nipple. Pale pink, they stood up erect to his touch. He kissed farther down to her flat stomach. You could no longer see her ribs, but it was still flat and smooth. Even farther down he kissed her thighs, and smelled her sweet skin. His hormones were in overdrive.

"You smell so good…" he told her between kisses. She just moaned to his every touch.

His lips met hers as his hot breath could be felt on her thighs. She slowly parted her legs; letting his tongue in. he kissed her softly, making circles with his tongue. She arched her back into his touch, making him kiss and suck harder.

"Oh gods…Draco…oh" she moaned, digging her nails into the sheets. He smiled at her moaning, and worked harder to make it continue. Soon she was short of breath, heart racing and mind soaring. He licked his lips before returning to her face, kissing her long and deep. She tasted herself on his lips, and licked them playfully. She had just had the most intense orgasm of her life. She felt alive and free. He lay on top of her, kissing and touching her in places she forgot existed. Moments later he pulled off his shorts and her legs parted to let him in. she instantly came as he slid into her. He was quite a bit larger than she was accustomed to, but it felt like heaven. Not like the monotonous sex she had with her husband. This was raw, animal lust. She needed him. And to her surprise, he seemed to need her just as bad. He pumped in and out of her, bringing her to orgasm again and again. She ran her hands along his back, lightly scratching his skin with her nails. He let out a small moan. She looked deep into his eyes, they were sparkling pools of indigo blue, and when the moonlight hit them waves of silver splashed upon the shore. His full pink lips smiled at her, and she reached up and touched them with her fingers. She grabbed both sides of his face and pulled it closer to hers plunging her tongue into his waiting mouth. He groaned and moved his hips harder against hers. This sudden plunge drove her into another intense orgasm. Her heart seemed to stop beating for just a moment, but then she caught her breath and screamed out his name.

He looked intently into her eyes, moving faster and faster and enjoying the look of pure bliss on her face. He couldn't hold back much longer. His face screwed up as he came inside of her trembling body. He collapsed on top of her breathless body, panting and sweating, laying his head into her long hair. She caught her breath quickly and ran her hands down his back. Her head rested on top of his and they lay there like that for a while. He finally rolled over to the space next to her and wrapped his arms protectively around her waist. She looked up at the canopy of the bed, contemplating what she had just done. She smiled before falling asleep wrapped in his arms.

She awoke late the next day, he had spooned her all night. His naked body inches from hers. She had enjoyed it immensely, but was worried about spending the day with him. She didn't want him to think all she wanted to do was shag now. It was a spur of the moment thing. A one night stand. She was careful not to wake him as she got up to use the bathroom and shower. She turned the shower on, letting it get nice and hot before she stepped in. the water ran over her body, loosening her muscles which were quite sore. She washed her long hair before stepping out into the bathroom. She threw on some underwear, a sports bra, a baby tee, and yoga pants before brushing her hair and putting it up into a loose bun. Boy was she glad to be rid of Pansy's body. When she emerged from the bathroom he was awake, propped up on the bed, sheet draped over his mid-section.

"Morning." he said yawning.

"Morning." she smiled back. "Did you sleep ok?"

"Yeah, like a log." he got up and the sheet fell away. She blushed. He walked past her and into the bathroom; soon she heard the shower running. She flipped through a book while waiting for him to come out. There was a quick knock, followed by the door turning. Alarmed, Hermione ducked down so no one could see her. She peeked out and saw Dribby, carrying a tray of food. She set the food down on the table and exited the room without a word. Hermione was starving; she dove into the plates and plates of food. Soon enough he came out of the bath, dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, looking hungrily at the plates.

"Great! I'm starved." he said helping himself to scrambled eggs, toast and strawberry jam. He poured both of them a cup of coffee. She sat next to him on the sofa, in contemplated silence, looking at him every now and then. He would catch her eye and smile. The food disappeared quickly and he walked the tray out to the hall for Dribby to pick up. He sat back down, not knowing what to say.

"I had a good time at the club last night." she piped up.

"Yeah, me too." he scratched his head uncomfortably. "Look about last night…"

"No, it's okay. I knew it would come up sooner or later." she blushed.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay with it." he said soothingly.

"I'm fine with it" she said sipping her coffee.

"I don't want this to be awkward. We are both adults, it is our choice who we do what with."

"I know."

"So is everything good?"

"Yep"

"Okay"

They sat there not talking for an eternity when an owl perched on the windowsill. Draco ran over and untied the note. It was from Harry.

Draco and Hermione,

I don't know what in the hell is going on but Steven Shanly marched in here this morning demanding we arrest you, Draco. He said you assaulted him in a club in London last night, now I know that is impossible since I told you to stay home with Hermione. Unfortunately, he has witnesses that saw you there. I am apperating there immediately to hear your explanation.

Harry

"Potter is pissed." he said to her.

"About what?"

"Our little trip last night, Steven wants to file charges on me. Apparently he had a right little fit about it at the ministry this morning. Harry is on his way over."

Minutes later a pop could be heard in the hallway and Harry opened the door, a mad look upon his face.

"So, you decided to go out last night and leave her along again?" Harry fumed.

"No."

"Then why do I have at least six witnesses saying you punched Steven Shanly in the nose in front of a crowd of people?"

"Well I was there, but I didn't leave her alone, she came with." he smiled over at Hermione, who now looked extremely guilty.

"WHAT?" Harry yelled. "YOU TOOK HER OUT OF THIS HOUSE AFTER WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON?" his face was red with anger.

"Get your panties out of a bunch Potter. I gave her a morphing potion so she would look like Pansy."

"A what?"

"For an Auror, you sure are slow. A morphing potion. Turned her into someone else for longer than a Polyjuice potion. Look she was getting cabin fever from being cooped up in here. We just went out for a little while. No one knew it was her."

"So why did you bring attention to yourself by hitting him." Harry asked, arms folded.

"Well, the prat was hitting on her, who he thought to by my date. I told him to go look for his wife and stop trying to shag anything that moved. He called her a bitch; I called him pathetic and punched him. Simple." Draco shrugged.

"Merlin help me." Harry rolled his eyes. "How are you doing Hermione?"

"Great" she smiled looking to Draco who had blushed three shades darker. "But I need to talk to you. I want a divorce. I would like you to file the paperwork for me, and schedule a hearing."

Harry nodded.

"You do know what you will have to go through don't you?" he asked her.

"I do, Draco has volunteered to testify, and I was hoping you would too. I don't expect you to admit you helped with all this, but just that you ran into me a week before I disappeared, tell them you notice my cuts and such. I'm sure all vendors at the market would testify to my state as well."

"Alright" Harry said, "I will file this afternoon. I will go to my supervisor and tell him you came to me, and you are in fear for your life, that's why you are hiding. Don't expect this to be pretty." he waved before he disappeared with a pop.

"Nothing is easy for me." she sighed looking into the fire.

When Harry arrived back at his office he sought out his supervisor immediately.

"I need to speak to you Mr. Nolan." Harry said rapping on the door.

"Come in, and I have told you to call me William." he motioned for him to sit, and he did.

"I found Hermione Shanly, or rather, she found me." Mr. Nolan wore an expression of joy and surprise.

"Excellent Potter, where is she so I can owl her husband and tell him to come get her." he reached for a piece of parchment.

"No, you can't owl him until I tell you the whole story. I haven't been completely honest with you. I grew up with Hermione; her last name was Granger then. I went to Hogwarts with her for seven years. She met Steven and they got married. I was in training here, and she was going to be a healer. Right after her marriage she dropped out of school and owled me and our friend Ron telling us not to contact her any more. I owled her several more times and got no response. I was worried but I thought her to be more than able to handle herself, after all she helped me get rid of Voldemort. A week before her disappearance I ran into her in an outdoor market in muggle London. She was thin, but that was the least of her problems. Her face and arms were bruised, and her lip was cut. She acted like she didn't want to see me. Said she had to get home and fix her husband lunch. Then when I heard she was missing I thought he had done something to her. But she sought me out today, said she went into hiding, I don't know where, because of the abuse she endured during her marriage. She didn't go into great detail, but I know she is telling the truth. I also interviewed Draco Malfoy, who Steven accused of hitting him last night in a muggle London club. He was there with a date, who Steven hit on throughout the night. When Mr. Malfoy made it clear that she was there with him, he called his date a bitch, and Mr. Malfoy admits to hitting him. I think it was well deserved. I would have defended my date as well."

"So Potter, what does this mean? She was not kidnapped?"
"That is correct; she left so he wouldn't hit her anymore." Harry said bitterly.

"Cowardly bastard." Mr. Nolan said and it shocked Harry.

"She wants me to file for divorce on her behalf, schedule a hearing with the council. I think it is appropriate."

"Agreed. Permission granted. Call off the other Aurors and owl Mr. Shanly. If she contacts you again tell her she can also file charges against him if she wishes." he turned back to his notes and left Harry to do the rest. He walked down the hall to the Auror headquarters.

"Attention, everyone. I have just come from Mr. Nolan's office. He has given me permission to call off the search for Hermione Shanly. So please return to your other work."

"Has she been found?" someone yelled.

"Yes, but I cannot explain now. Thank you."

He picked up a quill and parchment and penned a note to Steven Shanly. This would be excellent. He hated that guy.

Mr. Shanly,

It is to my deepest pleasure to inform you that we have located your wife Hermione. She came to seek me out. Some interesting information surfaced that you failed to mention in all of your reports. She claims that you have abused her since the day you wed, and we believe her. She has witnesses to prove her claims. She wishes to have nothing to do with you, and is filing for divorce. I am to schedule the hearing.

Good Day,

Harry Potter

Junior assistant to the head Auror

He sent this off in a hurry, wishing he could see Steven's face when he read the letter. He sat back in his desk, feet propped up and smiled.
