Okay, I had some rather interesting reviews. First off, Draco is NOT an alien. Second off I was given several good suggestions, which I intend to try. Third off, I am not angry at those who sent me flames, they made very good points and fourth off this story is confusing now, but it will work out, I promise. Anyway, next chapter.

Hermione leapt out of her chair, a startled expression crossing her features. Draco stood from his place slowly.

"May I help you Weasley?" His voice was low and compelling.

"Yes, what the hell have you done? You do know what kidnapping is don't you?"

A smile spread over Draco's face slowly "She came of her own free will Weasley."

Ron's eyes narrowed "Don't lie to me, you bastard! She would never come with you voluntarily!"

Draco stalked over to take up position adjacent to Hermione. "Care to make a wager?"

Ron began to drop his hand to Hermione's shoulder and she winced in anticipation of the burning sensation that accompanied it. None came. She slowly opened one eye and saw that Draco had firmly caught Ron's wrist and was effectively ceasing his contact with her.

"Please refrain from touching her." Draco growled, his silver eyes points of ice. Ron shivered involuntarily under that terrible gaze.

Ron was so shocked he lowered his hand. Draco circled Hermione's shoulders with one arm. The dress that clung to her body was extremely inappropriate for cold climates and Ron's intrusion had carried in a draft.

Hermione felt oddly content and nestled more closely to the warmth he provided. Draco smiled at the red head from above Hermione's eyesight and Ron gasped. Draco's incisors were growing sharper and pointed. Then Ron blinked and Draco's teeth were normal. Ron shook his head. He must be seeing things.

"I refuse to abandon her here." Declared Ron, taking satisfaction in being Hermione's true friend.

Draco laughed out loud "Abandon? As if she were in danger. No, Weasley, you are the one in danger if you do not erase your sorry presence from my home immediately." His voice was dangerously soft.

Ron opened his mouth to reply but two men gripped him by either arm and literally hauled him from the manor. Hermione ran to the rapidly closing doors, but arrived too late. She looked at Draco in disbelief. "How could you do that?" "Quite easily." Replied Draco in an annoyed drawl "The imbecile was hurting you, which is not permitted."

"Is there anything that is permitted?" She snapped angrily.

"Yes. You are permitted to make a choice."

She narrowed her eyes suspiciously "Choice? What choice?"

"The choice of whether to stay with me or return to your old life."

"But, the limehirf, you said it bound us."

Draco shrugged "It's only a charm, I can remove it, if that is your decision."

Hermione groaned "I'll need a few days."

Draco nodded "Understandably." Agreed Draco.

He raised his gauntlet to hers "To your decision."

Hermione sighed "I guess so." After all, what choice did she have?

I have been extremely busy lately with a school play, so, if I don't update for three days don't worry, I'll be back! Now whether that's a good thing or not is debatable. Bye!
