"No you aren't" he said firmly, "No one walks away from me. If I ask you to dance you dance."

Hermione froze as Robert grabbed her arm and dragged her onto the dance floor.

"Want to dance," he asked staring at Hermione.

"Why ask? It seems you already made up your mind," said Hermione sarcastically. Hermione couldn't help but feel worried. She knew this guy was bad news and kept wishing someone would come to save her. Her mind kept wishing Harry was here or even Ron. Then she wondered about Malfoy. No he won't come he wont even notice that I'm gone.

They started to dance. Robert kept staring at Hermione in a way that made her feel uncomfortable. She tried to escape but his grip on her was too tight. After a while of struggling to break free Hermione gave up and sighed.

"It seems she learned fast," he said very quietly but, yet just loud enough for Hermione to make out the words.

Robert placed a hand against Hermione's cheek. She was very warm and her cheeks were flushed. Her skin seemed so soft.

Hermione's heart began to race nervously. She took his hand off her cheek and said, "Please, let's just dance."

Robert ignored the sound of her innocent voice and started to move his hand from her back downwards.

"No Robert stop!" she said loudly while squirming to break away from him. A few faces looked over and Hermione's face lit up with hope. Certainly someone would help her. Hermione let out another NO, this one louder and more clear than the one before but, as soon as their faces met with Roberts they turned back to their dance partner and continued dancing.

"Let's go somewhere a little more comfortable," her whispered into her ear. He tried to drag her but Hermione's feet seemed planted into the ground. I'm not going to move. Stay strong Hermione. Don't let him win. But, he did win. Robert managed to pick up Hermione and walk out with her even with her attempts to break free. Out loud he kept saying Hermione was drunk and he would take her home to avoid any suspicious glances his way. Hermione started to weep. She felt so week and defenseless. Robert brought her to a hall way and put her up against the wall. He pulled her into him touching his lips to her mouth. He could hardly control the moan that wanted to escape from his lips. He kissed her harder as the seconds went by. The feeling of their bodies pressed together. "Please stop," Hermione said. Yet Robert kept going. He started to pull down Hermione's dress.

Meanwhile Draco was in the bathroom. He was staring in the mirror at his reflection fixing his hair. Finally, he was satisfied with his appearance. He stepped out of the bathroom door and felt the beat of the loud music playing instantly. Draco tried to forget about kissing Hermione. Whenever the thought came into his mind her tried to push it back but kept remembering 'the' kiss. What the bloody hell is wrong with me? What if she tells someone? What if my father finds out? No, Hermione wouldn't tell anyone about this would she? Where is she anyway? He glanced around the dance floor and felt relived not seeing her out their. She's probably eating with that friend of hers Wait why the hell do I care if she is dancing with another bloke. I DON'T I don't care where she is or who she is with or anything about her. I never did and a dumb kiss won't change that.

Draco was getting so worked up he decided it would be best to leave and go back to the room. He wanted to be by himself. Alone. He stepped out of the back door feeling as if he needed the long walk. Almost immediately he heard loud ragged breaths. Some people are having fun. He continued walking ignoring the sounds. That is until he heard a small voice say, "No Robert stop."

That voice… it seems so familiar. Then it hit him. That voice belonged to Hermione. He ran toward the voices and saw that tall brown-haired kid pulling Hermione's dress down, kissing her body all over.  "Stop right their!" he said.

Robert turned around and said, "Get lost! Get your own girl. This one is mine for the night. You may have her when I'm done with her."

Draco ran up and punched him. Robert's body feel to the ground with a loud bang that echoed through the halls.

Draco approached Hermione. He gave her a hug and said, "Don't worry its going to be okay. I'm here now." Draco pushed Hermione's hair out of her face and stood their trying to comfort her.

All of a sudden a couple of boys came up to Robert. Without thinking Draco pulled Hermione to the floor in the corner of the hall. They both sat their quietly watching. Robert was lying on the floor in pain. "Robert what the hell happened," a tall, very muscular boy asked.

"Where's the girl," another asked.

"I had her here as planned. Then a guy, that tall blonde haired kid, came and ruined everything!"

"She was perfect too," said a guy looking up at the ceiling.

"Mark…what the hell. We aren't giving up! We will find her again and when we do its pay back time."

Robert who seemed to be thinking deeply said, "But, before that we gotta get rid of that blonde boy. He can't mess anything up or find anything out about the rest of the plan."

"When I see him I'm going to beat him up so bad he will wish he was dead!"

"Let's go we have work to do," said Robert getting up to his feet. They all walked away.

Hermione looked at Draco. He saved me. Hermione had a terrible headache. Her head was pounding and she looked frightened and scared at the same time. They stared at each other for a couple of seconds and then Hermione spoke, "thank you."

He stared at her and said, "Hermione everything will work out just fine. No one will ever hurt you again. I will make sure of it."

Hermione's eyes were filled with tears, "Bu... but you… you heard…them…they…they won't give up."

Her mind was racing. Draco Malfoy just saved me. He is acting so different than usual. But, now he's going to get hurt. It's my entire fault too. Why the hell did I even go to this dumb party?

Draco stood up and helped Hermione do the same. He could see the cuts and bruises and knew Hermione was hurt. I'm doing the right thing.

Without thinking Draco cupped Hermione's face into his hands and he pulled her towards him. He placed his mouth against hers and tasted the sweetness of her mouth. She was very warm and inviting and he could feel the curves of her body pressing against him. When the kiss ended Draco held Hermione's arm and the walked back up to the room.

Both of them were very confused. They both had tons of worries and concerns that filled up their minds. But, for the next couple of minutes everything seemed okay. As soon as they reached the room Hermione said thank you again to Draco and headed towards her bed. She plopped down and feel into a deep sleep.

A/N- Thanks so much to my many reviewers. You guys are so great. I live on your reviews lol. I think I might have found a BETA reader so I will become better at my spelling/grammar in the next chapters.
