The Rescue

Disclaimer: I do not own certain characters and some settings; all those belong to the great J.K. Rowling! However the plot, OC and other settings are mine!

A/N- Hey readers this is my first HP Fan Fiction as well as my first Fan Fiction. I hope you enjoy…comments (good/bad, just not disrespectful) are greatly appreciated! I hope you like it very much! Keep in mind that magic done outside school is still punishable. But for the sake of this story Draco is 18 already and this rule doesn't affect him.

Draco's POV:

It wasn't like I was looking to save anyone tonight. Who am I kidding? I never saved anyone before. But I couldn't help it, she was helpless, and her scream it could have shattered the entire vicinities eardrums! Besides that I was curious, and even though I didn't like her… Let me re-phrase that even though I hated her, I would never want to see anyone in that state. It brought back too many memories of my mother being subjected to torture and pain at the hands of the person I call my father.

I couldn't sleep, tonight we had a ball at the Manor, and this was the night that my father would look for a potential wife for me. I didn't like the idea of an arranged marriage; I mean I just didn't want the same thing that my mother and father had ...it just didn't feel right to me. So I blew it off, it's not like any one would notice; 300 or more, people were attending this Ball.

I was walking away from the Manor near the lake, where the muggle houses were lined. I saw bright lights and many muggle teens in one of the houses. It looked like there was a party. That's when I heard the piercing scream, and I ran toward the voice, it was not too deep into the woods.

As I came closer to the screaming voice it sounded oddly familiar, it was a girl, and the other, a male, I did not recognize.

"Leave me the hell alone! I said STOP Brian!" said the familiar female voice.

"Come on, you know you want to…" replied the husky male voice.

There was a struggle I heard the rustling of the twigs and leaves, and muffled pleas of "No, Please No…" that's when I came into view. He was on top of her breathing heavily; he was trying to rape her. It was dark I couldn't make out the faces just the outline of shadows. I instantly grabbed my wand and said "Stupefy!"

He was knocked unconscious and I made my way towards the girl. At this point she was sobbing uncontrollably I immediately asked if she was "ok", but she only continued crying. I didn't know what to do; I couldn't just leave her there! Who am I kidding? Yes I could! But she was distraught and I felt bad for her. Yes I, Draco Malfoy have feelings! The next thing I knew my feet were walking over to her and I placed my jacket around her careful not to touch her. I can only imagine she wouldn't like to be touched after an ordeal like that. I waited with her trying not to grow impatient …but patience is not one of my virtues.

I scooped her up and to my surprise instead of resisting she grabbed onto me like a leech. I was shocked to say the least; however I still didn't get a good look at her face.

What was I to do with her? I picked her up (She wasn't as heavy as I thought) but I didn't think as to where I would take her, but it was as if she read my thoughts and all she said was "I ….don't want to (sniffle) go home!" through broken sobs.

I did the only thing I could think of ...which was to take her to my home. My father wouldn't be happy about that but he never disturbs my quarters he always sends the house elves to summon me. And the elves won't say anything if I make them promise…however the portraits might! Hmm what a predicament? The only other thing I could think to do is bring her to our vacation home in the U.S., it was my favorite Manor of them all because it was so private.

With a quick loud CRACK we Apparated to the Manor in Georgia. It was very beautiful during the summer not to mention very quiet and relaxing. She was still crying but softly and surprisingly she wasn't afraid- for a muggle anyways. I walked her all the way up to my room with her still in my arms and told her she can stay here for the night if she would like. She nodded in reply and snuggled onto my bed in a fetal position with silent tears streaming down her face. I told her that the bathroom is the door on the left and that I must quickly go back to my house but I will be back in no more than a half –hour. She cringed at the thought of me leaving her and it almost pulled at my heart strings (wait did I just say heart strings? I must be going mental!). Feeling almost sorry for leaving her, I gave her a calming spell to fall asleep. She instantly fell under and I made my way back to the Manor.

While I was walking back to the house I realized I knew nothing about this muggle, and knew that I overstepped my boundaries by just caring about her. The funny thing is I still didn't even see her face I didn't put on any lights at the vacation house I just made sure she was safe. I was getting soft, wasn't I? But she needed my help, what was I to do? Leave her there and just watch her suffer? I could have... but something told me not to.

The Ball was still going on and I made a quick appearance in the Ballroom hoping that my father would see that I was still here. He did see me and walked over to me, I tried to act calm.

"Where have you been, Draco?" He said suspiciously.

I replied innocently, "Right here mingling with the guests' father"

"Hmm… Well then, I have seen many prospective matches but none that seem to fit the Malfoy standards." He stated.

"As did I, father. I am feeling very tired, I was wondering if I may be excused?

"Fine" he said curtly turning to walk away.

"O father, may stay with Blaise for the next two weeks and go off to school with him, he says that there is many a pureblood witch in his town." I said, setting the bait.

"Very well, then you may" He said simply.

And the trap was set! All I had to do was make sure Blaise was in on the plan. He would be, no questions asked because I have a bit of leverage over him so he would comply.

After Talking with Blaise

I knew that Blaise would see things my way! 'That git was always getting into trouble.' I went up to my room and gathered my belongings for the next two weeks as well as my crap for school. It indeed would be an interesting year! I said farewell to mum and was off.

I returned back to the vacation house in less than twenty-five minutes. I called the house elf, Ellie, and asked her to put up some tea and sandwiches for me and my guest. All the while wondering who is my guest?

I made my way up to the master bedroom, which is where I intended on staying seeing that she, whoever she was, was in my room.

I got undressed and made my way to the shower. I knew the muggle wouldn't be up anytime soon so I took my time. I glanced down at my forearm staring at the horrid mark. I remembered the day that vividly, I couldn't believe I went through with it. Mum was terribly upset that day she couldn't even bare the sight of me, and that hurt. She was the only one ever to care about anything concerning me, it was nice to have that considering my family is infamously known for not giving a rats ass about there children.

I finished my shower wrapping the towel around my waist and to my surprise Ellie appeared telling me that my guest was awake and crying uncontrollably. Well surprise, surprise she was crying. But how could she be awake? I wondered and made my way to her room hoping that she at least remembered where she was.

A/N- So what did you think? I know this is very short but a lot more to come soon I promise! Please review comments are greatly appreciated!
