Hermione struggled against the death eater. Why did he have an interest in her? It's not like any one would risk going to Hogwarts just to merely rape a school child. There were plenty of other children out there that he could satisfy his sick little cravings on.

She felt a sudden rush of panic well up in her as he landed on top of her forcing her to stay put. She felt like her stomach was being turned inside out and back again.

Her assailant reached for his wand (A/N I know what you two r thinking. Dracolover et vixen. Get your minds out of the gutter) and before she could hardly have said Bertie Botts, Hermione was being petrified. More his comfort and not for hers, Hermione expected, the man cast a warming spell around the area where he intended to rape her. Not a second after he accomplished this he set to work again on hermione.

Hermione had now just given up. She was tired and he had worn her out. Much to the mans surprise when he threw him self on top of her she just looked at him with indifference then closed her eyes. He had truly wished for her to plead to him. To beg for his merci.

He kicked her stomach, which didn't move despite the force of the kick. A tear rolled down her check. Abruptly he lifted the torn robes just above her waist but didn't do anything. He just kneeled there staring at her waiting for her to look at him strait in the face. When she did she was met with a face of anger and petty lust. "You had your chance to cooperate. You did not. Now your punishment will have to be severe instead of pleasant."

Still unable to move and still very weak she closed her eyes. No feeling was lost when someone out petrificus on you. And all hermione could feel right now was the sheer unadulterated pain of guilt and the man that forced his way into her making her bleed on the snow and cry in her throat.

The experience was lost on her and apparently on him as well because the climax brought nothing to either of them. Not a cry of sheer pleasure could be heard from either of them.

I felt like hours but was probably only seconds before the weight was lifted off of her. When hermione hadn't heard anything from him in a while she ventured to open her eyes and look at him.

What she saw surprised her. A man who she had never seen before was attacking her attacker. This new man in front of her had taken a few punches and was now laying on his back.

She could hear the man running away. Recognizing a distinct "pop" she instantly new that the man had apparated. Without the power source the spell was lifted and she was left there to shake. Hermione could feel her robes being pulled back over her body. With the warmth spell no longer intact the cold was now even more apparent due to the shock of this evenings events and her lack of cloths.

Adric shrugged off his coat and laid it on top of the girl. He helped her sit up and he wrapped his arms around her to try to envelope some warmth into her, which prompted her to lean into him and cry silently into his shoulder.

"Is this yours?" He lifted her chin to look into his deep chocolate eyes. This had been the first real look at the person who had saved her life since he came to her rescue. He repeated his question and she looked at his hand, which held her wand. She nodded. Tiredness rushed over her again and she leaned against his shoulder a second time to cry.

He cooed softly in her ear. "Ssssssshhhhhhhh.. It will be all right now." Honestly he didn't know what he was supposed to do. He didn't even know the girl and he had saved her. What would the doctor have done he thought then quickly trying to shove it out of his head inadvertently voicing his thought " No I can do this."

Hermione looked up at him inquiringly. " You can do what." She choked out.

"What" he looked puzzled for a second then realized what she meant. "Oh, I am trying to figure out what to do with you. Are you ok to walk." He felt genuinely concerned for this girl but hid his concern with a slight smile of reassurance. His gaze fell over her face and hands. They were terribly bruised. " Where's the closest doc." he paused as his mind again fell upon thoughts of the Doctor, Tegan, and Nyssa sitting in the warm TARDIS.

"Help me get to the castle." Dismissing his earlier question she tried to walk forward but found that her weight was much to heavy for her tired legs to carry. Before she could fall Adric grabbed her to steady her, but felt a little awkward for touching her on her waist. " I guess I don't have the strength to walk." He gave a smirk at her mock humor and effortlessly, but not without the same amount awkwardness, lifted her into his arms and started carrying her to the castle.

Adric let out a slight "huh". Hermione looked up at him and tried to put on a questioning face.

"What?" she asked warily.

"It's just now occurred to me hat I don't know anything about you," He saw a hint of a smile curl in her lips. " or where we are for that matter." He shifted her weight slightly so he could get a better grip on her.

"You're not a student here?" if he didn't even know about Hogwarts than he must either be a foreigner a muggle or both. But if he was a muggle how did he get in here. She knew that the castle was protected from muggles getting in here.

He stopped abruptly and Hermione felt a nauseating feeling rise in her stomach. His head shook, and his face still had a quizzical look on it.

"This is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Hermione stated as proudly as her fragile frame would allow. Adric let out a short derisive laugh then stifled it when he realized what he was laughing at. That's what the doctor would have laughed at. He would have laughed at the sheer unimaginable primitiveness of this people. But these were humans in the 21st century. Weren't they supposed to be civilized people? He shoved the thought aside and decided to ask her later.

"What?" Hermione asked after a long and awkward pause.

"Nothing, really. Its just the awkwardness of the situation." His answer seemed to soot hermione because she did not pursue it any further.

He continued his walk without talking. Not thinking about the Doctor and the others was proving more difficult than usual. The Doctors voice kept entering into his head telling him what he would have done in this situation. The word "nonsense" kept ringing in his ears.

His thoughts were broken when he felt the girl shift her weight so that her hand rested on top of her stomach. She began to shake. From cold from shock he did not know. The weight that he carried no longer mattered. All he thought about now was getting her to the castle, which gratefully was only a few meters away. She stopped shaking but this was only the result of her slipping into unconsciousness. His hand reached outward toward the high wooden doors. "Damn" locked. His eyes had now fully gotten used to the dark night, which he thanked the gods for because in the far distance he was able to see the smoke come from a near by cabin. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A/N um I hope you like this chap I think it will go a bit slow. Poor Adric you know he's got to like her. Anyway. If any of you actually know what Doctor Who is you would know that these char are way out of character. I haven't written much on the other chars but I will.

A low growl emitted from the cabin. The silhouette of a massive dog gave him a sudden fright but he maintained his resolve as he ran toward the cabin. He carefully shifted her slight weight making it easier to get a grip on her.

The muscle was beginning to give in his leg. He wasn't used to this. The damsel in distress was the Doctors line of work. To Adric's relief and fright a tall buff man stepped out of the door of the cabin and ran toward him and Hermione.

The lantern he held in his hand emitted a bright light that shone strait into Adrics eyes causing him to stumble a bit. " I' is 'ermione." The space between them was filled and the large man lifted the girl out of Adrics arms. Feeling both relieved and indignity by the tall mans actions toward him Adric put a face on that made the man smirk.

I was much easier to run after the man with his long stride without the girl's weight. Not that he hadn't wanted to help the girl. In fact he felt glad that he did. It wasn't every day that you got to help a pretty girl like her out. He thought back to the feel of the girl's soft hair and the shape of her face. (A/N: bad Bess/Lacey I know what you thought I was going to say. No cookie for you two) he knew he should be keeping his mind on what he was doing but it was so hard not to think about such a pretty person. How could any one ever want to hurt a person like her? When he found out who had done it he would be sure to tell them were to stuff. Then he would gladly stuff it for them.

Once they had gotten inside Hagrid's hut, he gently set her on a large comfortable looking plush chair next to a large fireplace, and laid a large patchwork blanket over her.

A few minutes passed while the man had turned his back to him and turned back around with a piece of paper in his hand. He rolled it up and tied it. A loud whistle emitted from his lips and the big dog rushed over to him nearly knocking Adric down.

" Fang, take this ta Matame Pomfrey (sp)" with one swift movement the dog gripped the piece of paper tightly in his mouth and charged out of the door.

With out noticing Adric the man went back the chair in which he had laid the girl. Adric tried to follow but was blocked by the man's massive arm. " Who are you, and what are you doing here?" asked the man in a very gruff voice. Adric was clearly terrified of the man now that he was right up to him and staring at him with black eyes.

" M.. m.my.. n.. name is A.Adric, sir" he added that last word rather quickly. The man seemed to give the boy a warmed stare, clearly because the boy was frightened. As he watched the man gingerly go over and sit on the large bed he slowly gained confidence. (God yall stop laughing. I will hurt you bess and lacey). " This girl was being attacked I was just trying to help her." the man cocked an eyebrow but continued to stare at the boy.

" You'll wait here till Madame Pomfrey and Professor Snape get here." Hagrid said sternly but calmly. Exasperated, Adric sat cross-legged on the floor and waited for whomever he said was going to come, to come. Every once and a while he would glance at the girl. It didn't take long for the two he indicated to come, came.

After a short while (hahaha bess) he heard a sharp wrapping on the door and a low silky voice say " Hagrid its me." Professor Snape must be a guy, he reasoned. The tall man he supposed was named Hagrid went and opened the door to let in a black clad man with black hair and very pale skin.

Adric had taken this moment to go to the girl's side. She had opened her eyes and was now steadily gazing into the fire. Adric took her hand in his and she turned her head to look into his eyes. She tried and failed several time before she was finally able to say "What's your name" what came out was a almost whisper. She had to be exhausted from what she had been through tonight.

"Adric" he said in a voice so low it almost matched her. With that she turned back to look at the fire.

"Thank you" was her only response before she closed her eyes again and slept.

Madame Pomfrey rushed over to where the girl slept and grabbed her shoulders gently to give her a hug. "It's ok now dear you'll be safe." She said to the prone sleeping body of Hermione.

"It does you no good to console a sleeping person Poppy" Adric became aware of the man behind him. His face sunk as he took in Snape's features. Tall, thin faced, shallow skinned, and lank greasy hair. Adric quickly got up and backed his way as far as he could from him.

" What the hell is he doing here?" he turned his head to Snape and gave " you'll never get away with what ever you're planning. You evil, deceitful, son of a..." he gave Adric a look that would freeze magma. (Dootiddoo k A/N he thinks he's the Master. For all you peeps out there who don't know who he is, he is the bad guy in Doctor Who. You will see later on that the man is a complete ass. Now ya know.)

" What are you talking about?" came the high-pitched voice of Poppy.

" He's" began Adric.

" I am Severus Snape, potions master and this school and I" he came closer to Adric fixing him with his most penetrable stare " Demand to know why a muggle is loitering around Hogwarts grounds and how you got here in the first place."

" Leave him be, Snape, he's done no harm to you. In fact he's done us a great favor and I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt before you start shoving your weight around." Poppy walked heartily toward the boy and tilted his head to the side so she could properly see the gash on his chin. " You'll be fine, I think, dear. Now, we can have that cleaned up in no time. Lets just get you up to that castle."

Snape snapped his head toward Poppy. " True, he did protect Miss. Granger from a most traumatic experience, but that does not give him the right to walk away from all this with out giving us an explanation as to how and why he is here."

Poppy ignored Snape and looked up at Adric giving him a sympathetic smile. " Ignore him," she flicked her head toward Snape. " the man was born with a stick up his ass." She said sarcastically. She chuckled at her own little joke and straitened up when she saw the look on Snape's face.

" We can't carry her by Mobilicorpus." She clicked her tongue thoughtfully. " We will need to keep her wrapped in this quilt." She turned to Hagrid who was beginning to fall asleep in a chair. " May we borrow this quilt Hagrid?" Hagrid nodded enthusiastically.

"Of course Poppy. Just as long as she gets to safety." Poppy turned back to the boy.

" I not sure I know your name. I would hate to call you boy for the rest of your stay." She prompted to Adric.

" My name is Adric" he replied tiredly. He yawned loudly causing Poppy to look at him with even more sympathy that before.

" Well, Adric we will get you up to the castle and rested. Don't worry about anything tonight. Do you think you can help Hermione walk." He nodded. Hermione was not very heavy and with her actually taking steps, it made it a lot easier to get from one place to the other. Before they reached the door Poppy stopped them and tapped him on the head. " Just a warming spell, dear." Snape rolled his eyes. They walked out of the cabin and back into the cold darkness.

Little did they know that just out side was something watching them? Something very unpleasant.

A/N: Adric is one of my favorite Doctor Who chars. I will be putting out a default chap explaining Doctor Who to all of you who wish to know just enough to follow the story line properly. If you are not acquainted with the wonderful world of Doctor Who then I suggest you read this short summary of the T.V. series.
