"Get up wench" a shadowed figure yells standing looking down at a crumpled trembling Hermione who had fallen only seconds sooner to a harsh backhand across her face. A red mark began to form as the figure grabbed her arm and yanked her to her feet
"Please stop" Hermione pleaded as she was thrown against the stony wall behind her. Out of no where a flash of light crossed her vision just before her knees buckled her hearing and vision breaking as she crumpled to the floor pain surging down her neck and back, as everything turned black.

Snape moved through the halls silently searching for students moving about. He turned the corner to see a surprised Aubrey Dark held still by an immobilis charm, a crying Hermione Granger, and a wand ready Draco Malfoy holding on to the girl.
"Mister Malfoy, would you so kindly explain to me why Mister Dark is Immobilized, and why Miss Granger is in a tearing Hysteria?" Snape snarled a wand held pointing at the two boys just between their necks out of no where came the head student of Ravenclaw in quite a huff. "Miss Starr… What in hells unholy name are you…? What is this blasphemy? I want you all in my office tomorrow morning at 6 A.M. sharp if you Fail to show, I will take off so many points from your house your head will spin, as for tonight 20 points for being out of bed. Mister Malfoy, take Miss Granger to her room Miss Starr I expect the same with Mister Dark. I will figure out further punishment tomorrow. Am I understood?" Snape watched as the only two capable of any response nodded and went on their way.

Back in the head Gryffindors room, Malfoy laid Hermione down on her bead and moved to the bathroom to get a vile of pepper up potion and some Wound-cleaning potion and cotton balls to apply it with.
"'Mione Wake up …" he shakes her gently until her blurry eyes flutter open
"Dragon… what happened" she whispers out her arms wrapping around his waist as he sits on her head holding her broken body in his arms.
"Hush for now 'Mione ill explain in a minute drink this quick" he hands her the pepper up potion first letting her gulp it down before moving on and applying the wound-cleaning potion gently to her cheek arm and head where she hit against the wall. He winces as purple smoke comes from the wound and Hermione hisses a slight burning sensation brushes over her wounds a moment before they heal. Her eyes soon clear as she looks up at him waiting for him to explain.
"Well Mia'onie…" he laughs gently at her nickname then continues "Dark as always was being an arse. And knocked you out for a minute, but I immobilized him before he could do anything else to you. I knew you were going down to see him so I flood starry eyes telling her to find a professor, and that you were in trouble. I assumed she had gotten Snape but then I seen Flitwick in the shadows. I guess Snape just came before he could get there".
Hermione snuggled into him and begun to drift off to sleep so Draco decided to move back to his own room. He had just reached the door when a whimper from the bed made him turn back
"Don't leave me dragon… please." Her cries were muffled by her face in the pillow as she held it tight. Draco walked over to her bed and sat down again brushing her hair from her face and bending and kissing her cheek
" hush my 'Mione I will stay…" he says as he climbs into her bed pulling her into his lap where he brushes his fingers through her hair waiting for her to fall into a gentle sleep. Once she was asleep he moved down next to her curling his arms and body around her almost as if to protect her from the room it's self. He too finally claimed his sleep.
