AN: Okay guys I'm seriously sorry for how long this chapter took, I have to say I was a bit ashamed of what happened to Scarlet and therefore it made the last chapter seriously difficult to deal with, however I see this one as more of a filler chapter. There is going to be more secrets that will be unveiled towards her. Though I wanted to give you guys something I figured even though this is a filler you guys (my faithful readers who haven't given up on me just yet) would enjoy slightly until I can write the next one. Make sure you leave comments, any criticism is good :)

Chapter 12

He took the stairs by two and found himself facing a door, he could hear light mouns coming from inside it, along with a slight sounding crying. 'Save her' his mind screamed. He tried the door, it was locked. "Alohamora." He whispered and the door flew open. Without looking at the figure standing naked in front of him he yelled, "Stupify."

He walked over to the figure lying on the floor and was slightly surprised by the blonde hair much like his own attached to the man. "Father" he whispered. He then looked to the bed and was slightly horrified by the girl that was calmly laying there taking in the scene with wide eyes.

"Draco" she whispered hoarsely. "How?"

He held up her earing proudly and smiled. "You left me a tip." Walking over to the bed he untied her hands, she moved slightly and began to rub them for circulation. "I'm sorry," he said to her with guilt built up in his silver eyes.

"Shhh," she put a finger to his lips and smiled, "Let's just get out of here for now okay."

He smiled and began to undo the rest of the bonds holding her.

"He didn't do anything else to you, did he?" he asked her when he finally got her to her feet and began to move out of the room.

"No," she said hoarsely. "You came within good time, but he did tell me something. I think I would rather talk about it with Professor Snape." She added quickly. When they got to the door she looked back at the man lying on the floor. "Draco, I don't think we should just leave your father like that." She said to him.

Draco laughed, "Scarlet, are you telling me you want to help the man that just tried to rape you and succeeded orally?"

"Yes, I guess, I am." She stumbled.

He ran his hand through his hair and sat her down on a chair in the hall. "Okay I'll go right him and lay him on the bed, maybe even configure his memory to make it seem like you escaped on your own." He laughed a bit and Scarlet smiled a bit. After about 10 minutes Draco was back into the hall and grabbing her by the waist. "All done, now let's head back to Hogwarts before he wakes." All Scarlet could do was nod back at him and smiled.

She felt the pull of apparition as if her navel was being hooked though a single hole in space and time. Once she felt her feet touch the ground she doubled over, in Draco's arms and though the contents of her stomach onto the ground. The contents ended up on the hem of her dress skirt and her face became blotchy. Draco took one of his hands and began to smooth her hair as she began to cry from the gut wrenching pain that had fallen over her. "Dammit, I know I should flooed back to the castle, Scarlet we still have a long walk I'm sorry." He swooped down after she finished puking and pulled up her legs so that she rested in his arms.

Scarlet curled into the warmth of his shoulder away from the cold, her chest was full exposed to him, and he could see the dried blood from where she had seemed to be cut. He began to walk, and Scarlet could feel each foot fall under her body, she drew herself closer to his body and smiled. "Dray, you could of let me walk, I would have been fine once my stomach settled." She said quietly.

"It's fine, at least now when we get to the school, your friends won't look at me like I'm some sort of hardened criminal."

Scarlet giggled against his chest, "If it counts for anything I don't think you're a hardened criminal."

He kissed her face then smiled and continued the long walk up towards the castle.

Once they arrived at the castle they were greeted by Professor McGonagall. "Mister Malfoy, oh thank Merlin, you found Miss Clarke. Quickly, to Madam Pomfrey." She ushered him up the stairs and towards the hospital wing, he noticed by this time his godfathers ghost had caught up to them and was following behind the Professor. She opened the doors quickly and went into the med witches offices.

They came out and he was directed towards a bed. He laid Scarlet's body onto the bed gently. He then watched her, her chest rose rapidly and then fell, she was asleep and he was happy she felt comfortable enough to fall asleep while he held her. "You can go Mister Malfoy, I assure you Miss Clarke is in good hands."

"With all due respect Madam Pomfrey, I would like to stay here with her. She's gone through a traumatic experience and I would hate myself if I let her wake up all alone in here."

"Fine than," she sighed and began work on the young witch that laid in the bed. She took note of her damaged areas: her face was bruised, her wrists and ankles had rope burns, she had a cut that wend from her upper chest to about mid stomach from the looks of it didn't seem too deep but you could never be sure. "Mister Malfoy, If you intend to stay I could use your help getting the potions into her. We'll need several for all the damage that has been done to her. We need the Body Balm, the Blood Replenishing Potion, and some Bruise Healing Paste. You also said she had a traumatic experience so I think we should give her some Calming Draught. "She busied herself with looking over the rest of Scarlet's body as Draco went to the cabinet and retrieved the potions and pastes that she needed.

Scarlet awoke feeling refreshed and calmed; she looked around and noticed a sleeping Draco sitting next to her bed. She heard movement from over in the corner and looked up to see Madam Pomfrey walking out of her office, the sun as bright as day coming from behind her.

"Ahh, you're awake," she said quietly and walked over towards her.

Scarlet went to move her feet from off the bed and found that she had a hard time standing up, luckily Madam Pomfrey was standing there and grabbed her arms as she fell over.

"Now, now dear, don't be trying to move so fast. You've been asleep for almost 3 days."

"Three days." She said back bewildered. "There is no way."

"You sure have and Mister Malfoy there hasn't left your side once." Scarlet looked over to the sleeping boy and suddenly had a panic.

"You mean he hasn't gone to classes?" she asked.

"Oh no, Professor McGonagall has given him a special job of helping me cure you for a grade."

Scarlet sat back down on the bed and waited for Draco to wake up. Madam Pomfrey had filled her in on what she had missed over the last couple of days and that as soon as she was feeling up to it she was to go see Professor McGonagall. She smiled calmly as Draco's eyes fluttered open and look at her surprised. "Morning Draco." She cooed.

He stood up and walked towards the bed. He leaned down and kissed her, "Morning Love, how are you feeling?"

"Surprisingly good, I have to go see McGonagall want to come with me?"

"Sure babe anything for you." He kissed her again and smiled as she placed her hand and they started towards the Headmistress's office.
