It's been a week since Draco and I started our fake relationship. Draco was actually treating me like a princess. At first, I thought he was just doing it for the media, but now I was starting to see that he was just being nice and caring. It was Saturday night and I was getting ready for our weekend date. I knew tonight we were going to this new French restaurant that had personally invited Draco. Draco told me that his father owled him two days ago and said how pleased he was that we were dating… Then this restaurant magically invites him, I knew his father had a part behind that, but I didn't say anything. It scared me slightly to know what would happen if Lucius found out that this was fake relationship.

I tugged on royal blue dress and pulled my hair into an elegant ponytail. I curled my ponytail and placed my earrings in. I heard the doorbell ring and glanced over at the clock. If that was Draco, he was an hour early. I jogged down the stairs and heard whoever was at the door was pounding their fist heavily against my door. I had sent my house-elf to my parents' house because they were hosting a giant party and they needed an extra house-elf. "I'm coming!"

I yanked open the door and was shoved back roughly. I glanced up and froze when I saw a very drunk Blaise stumbling into my house. "What are you doing here?" I was panicking, I didn't have my wand on me and there was just something telling me to run.

"Well aren't you just all dressed up. Where are you doing, huh?" I took three steps back and Blaise took a giant step towards me. "Why is that any of your concern?" I hissed taking another step back. I was praying that Draco would show up early. I wished I had my wand. I could defend myself better. Right now, I just felt helpless and the evil smirk on Blaise's face wasn't making me feel any better.

"Where's that wand of yours? Eh?" He grabbed my arm and yanked me towards him. I could smell the Firewhisky on his breath and that's when I really began to panic. I could curse and hex all day, but when it came to a hand to hand fight, it turns awful. "Let go." I yelled trying to yank my arm away from him. He pushed me back and I tripped over my own two feet. I slammed into the wall and grunted. Blaise rushed over to me and slammed his fist into my stomach. I grabbed the nearest object and crashed it into his head. He stumbled backwards and that's when I took my chance to run. I was half way up the stairs when Blaise grabbed my ankle yanking me back. My face slammed into the marble stair. I gasped and felt the blood dripping down my forehead. I kicked him in the face and took off to my room. I slammed the door behind me and locked it. I grabbed my wand and disapprated.

I groaned and looked up at the Malfoy Manor. I stood up and ran to the front door. I pounded on it and felt my body begin to get weak. The door opened and I saw a tiny little house-elf. "Oh Miss Cora!" The house-elf grabbed my hand and pulled me in. I saw down roughly on a chair and leaned my head back.

"Cora?" I looked up to see Draco half dress jogging down the stairs. "Oh my God! You're bleeding." He touched my head lightly and I jerked back. He looked me over and brushed his fingers over my bruising arm. My knees were bleeding and I knew I looked a mess. My dressed was ripped and my hair was falling out of my ponytail. "Who did this to you?" He asked knelling in front of me. He pulled out his hand and began healing my knees. "He just showed up at my house. I thought it was you, so I answered it. He was so drunk." I whispered feeling the tears starting to leaking out of my eyes. I couldn't hold them back anymore.

"Who did this to you?" Draco asked again, but firmer this time. I swallowed and wiped the tears off my cheeks. "Who do you think?" I hissed. Draco gripped his wand tighter and began healing my head. His house-elf brought him a towel and he handed it to me. I began wiping off the blood that was drying on my head. "I'm going to go owl to restaurant letting them know we are not attending and I will owl the ministry about Blaise. Go to Rella Manor and pack her a bag, she's stay here tonight." His house-elf nodded and was gone in a pop.

Draco picked me up bridal style and began carrying me up the stairs. I rested my head against his shoulder and slowly relaxed in his arms. He kicked opened a door and walked in. It was his bedroom. It was all in dark greens and blacks. He had a giant closet and a fireplace. His room was a lot bigger than mine. He pulled back his sheets and placed me onto his bed. He walked over to his desk and pulled out two new parchment. He wrote quickly and walked over to his window letting out a low whistle. A beautiful eagle owl flew in the room and gave a deep hoot.

"Hey Dotty. Take this to the restaurant first and then this one to the ministry. Hurry along!" He attached the letters to her leg and she flew out of his room in a flash. "Dotty?" I asked chuckling. I would never guess that Draco would name his owl 'Dotty'.

"Mother named her. I have had her since I was ten." He plopped down on his bed and pulled off his tux jacket. "How are you? I knew I should've gone earlier, but work came up." I nodded and shrugged. I just wanted to go to sleep, but I was scared too. Now I was terrified of Blaise. I wasn't before, but now I knew he dangerous he could get.

"Why didn't you curse him?"

"I left it upstairs. Man, I just brought this dress a month ago. 400 Gallons and I didn't even get to enjoy it." I said laughing and looking at the rip. "It looks great on you. I'm sure we can get it fixed." He rubbed my back and I winced pulling away from him. He frowned and sat me up. He unzipped the back of my dressed and pulled it down. I heard him growl and I knew there had to be a bruise on my back.

He got up and walked over to his drawer. He pulled out a t-shirt and boxers. He held them out to me and I took them walking into his bathroom. I dropped my dress on the ground and slid on his black boxers. I winced and slowly placed on the t-shirt. I redid my ponytail and pulled out my wand to heal my bruises.

I looked at myself in the mirror before stepping out. Draco was placing my bags on the ground and turned around. His jaw slightly dropped, but he quickly recovered. "Oh wow. You look adorable." I smiled weakly and tugged on his shirt awkwardly.

"You can either stay in here with me or in a guest room. Your pick." He said smiling.

"I need to be with someone right now." He smiled and nodded.
