Ok with the fight scene in this chapter most of the credit goes to one of
my best friends, Fee.
Here we go.
CHAPTER 7. A walk in the park
As they walked around the park, Hermione kept a firm grip on Draco's hand. And Hugh once made a pass at her in saying that she looked great the night that she returned from Hogwarts.
"Hermione does he mean that you look great the night he beat you?" Draco whispered
Hermione stared to cry again and just nodded
"Oh Hermione don't cry you little whore. Are you crying because he won't give you any?" Hugh asked as he put on a fake pout.
"Leave her alone. Bastard" Draco said with his trademark smirk.
"What you gunna do about it if I don't?" Hugh asked "hmmm?"
"Hurt you bad. Hurt you so bad that you'll wish you had never touched MY Hermione!"
"Oh really" and with that he aimed a fierce punch at Draco
Draco blocked the punch like a master. He knew what to do in these situations. After refusing to become a Death Eater, Lucius and his 'business associates' would beat him. He knew how to protect himself. And Hermione.
Draco grabbed Hermione and pushed her behind him, protecting her with his body.
"You think you can protect her?" Hugh's voice had become malicious.
Draco gave no spoken reply, instead his hand curled into a tight fist and swung out at the wicked figure before him. Hugh dodged the blow with a small hint of surprise; he had not anticipated Draco putting up a fight to someone as tall and as strong as himself. He overcame his surprise quickly and aimed another fierce punch at Draco's stomach while he was off balance from his failed attack.
Draco crumpled to the ground, momentarily winded. While he tried to regain his lost breath a large shadow fell over him.
"Pathetic you know, I told you, I knew you could never stand up to me"
Hugh aimed a kick at Draco's torso, but the young mans eyes widened and he swiftly avoided the blow, but before the larger man had a chance to defend himself, Draco's fist had driven into his cheek.
Hugh was stunned but recovered quickly, and looked into the eyes of the boy before him. Malicious eyes looking into triumphant ones. But Draco's triumph was short lived as Hugh aimed a violent kick towards Draco's mid section. For a second time Draco was at loss for breath, but this time his breathlessness came with a strong pain emitting from his ribs.
Draco cursed under his breath as he clutched his ribs. He struggled to stand as the sound of Hugh's footsteps came nearer, but the pain was enormous. Briefly defeated he stayed where he was and tried to regain his focus.
"Well, well, well, given up already have we? How disappointing" Hugh said with an evil laugh.
Draco saw Hugh shift his weight to his right leg, and prepared to swing his good leg for another blow. Draco refused to close his eyes to the oncoming attack and watched, almost in slow motion as the foot came nearer.
"Draco! No!" Hermione had been watching on tenterhooks but now was in action.
She ran abruptly to place herself in between Hugh and Draco. Hugh stopped his attack on Draco to stare cruelly at the girl before him. Hermione moved quickly to Draco without taking her eyes off Hugh's. Hugh only stood scathingly, watching. Hermione helped the injured Draco to his feet before moving in front of him as he had done earlier for her.
"Very noble of you Hermione I'm sure. But for now my new objective is to beat the Malfoy kid. I'll come back to you when I've done that." Hugh grinned wickedly.
"I'd like to see you try!" Hermione screamed as her own foot swung up into Hugh's crutch, followed soon after by her hand as it slapped him across the face.
Hugh grunted in pain, and withdrew slightly.
"You bitch you'll pay for that one!" he grimaced.
Before Hermione had a chance to react, Hugh had launched his large form at her and hit her ferociously on the jaw. The impact sent Hermione crashing to the ground before Draco's feet. Draco gasped at her unconscious form, and was horrified to see a trickle of blood falling from her open mouth.
"Hermione." he whispered, his anger building, "HERMIONE!" His angry yell echoed through the deserted park.
Pain forgotten in his anger, Draco charged at the larger man standing before him. His shoulder connected with Hugh's sternum with such a force the Hugh was thrown backwards into the trunk of a tree. His head struck with an audible 'crack'. But Draco's rage carried on and he bent over the man, beating him with such anger that, before long, Hugh's face was bloodied.
"Now a little something for you to remember me by" Draco whispered viciously as he bent down next to the immobile man.
From his pocket he produced a small pocketknife. Flicking the blade out he pressed it to Hugh's skin; just below his right eye, the green one. Showing a surprising amount of talent, he sketched a small picture of the Slytherin serpent onto his cheek.
"Draco." a small, hurting voice drifted into his thoughts, and he turned to see Hermione, awakening form her brief period of unconsciousness. He moved away from the motionless Hugh and moved to Hermione's side.
"Hermione." Draco breathed
