Draco was walking down the hall to his next class thinking about the Potions essay he had to finish when he heard a soft sound, almost like a whimper. He shook his head and kept walking but stopped when he heard a muffled scream coming from a nearby closet. It was probably nothing, but as Head Boy he had to check, just in case. "This better not make me late," he muttered as he opened the door.

Hermione was terrified. She wanted to faint, and she could feel her knees weakening but she wouldn't let herself fall. Who knew what Trevor might do with her if she was unconscious? She whimpered and tried to scream but it was no use. He was much bigger than she was. He started to pull off her shirt but stopped as the dark room lit up suddenly.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" a deep voice thundered.

Hermione looked up and almost cried. Of all the people to see her like this, it had to be Malfoy.

Trevor growled in frustration. "Can't you see were busy here?"

Draco looked back and forth between the two of them, not sure what to think. Hermione looked terrified, and something told him it wasn't because she was scared of being caught. But what if he made a big fuss and it turned out they were just a happy couple enjoying a quick shag between classes? Granger didn't seem like that kind of girl, but you never know.

Hermione knew this was her only chance. She couldn't let Trevor convince him to leave. She moved her mouth out from under his hand. "Help! He's trying to..." she was cut off when Trevor shoved in front of her. "We'd like some privacy if you don't mind," he spat. "There's nothing to see here anyway, so just go."

Draco pointed a threatening finger at Trevor. "If you think I'm stupid enough to not see what's going on, then you obviously don't know much. I suggest you get the hell off her before I make you."

Trevor laughed. "I'd like to see you try," he sneered right before he fell over, unconscious.

Draco shook his fist. "I didn't think I'd punched him that hard," he muttered.

"You didn't."

He looked up and saw Hermione step over Trevor's motionless body, her wand gripped tightly in her hand. Her shirt was torn open and Draco could see her black bra through the ripped material. He snapped his gaze up quickly, and saw she was crying softly. Without thinking he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight as she sobbed.

Hermione was shocked when Malfoy wrapped his arms around her and she almost pulled away but stopped herself just in time. The last thing she wanted to do was offend him after he'd saved her. So she kept crying and let his strong arms surround her. She sobbed out all her fears and they sat there for what seemed like an eternity but was only a couple of minutes. When she finally pulled away from him and wiped her eyes, she blushed.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me," she sniffed quietly. "And now your shirt's all wet."

Draco looked down at the dark stain on his shoulder and smiled. "It doesn't matter. Don't apologize, it's fine. Come on, let's get you out of here."

She nodded and stood up shakily, glancing over at Trevor lying on the floor. Draco chuckled when he saw where she was looking. "I hope he feels like crap when he wakes up."

Hermione forced a small laugh. "We better go, he'll wake up any second now. I only stunned him." She kicked him in the ribs and started to push him back into the open closet. Draco started to smile but quickly hid it with his hand. She looked so angry as she shoved at him viscously. She was getting back at him and there was no way he was gonna stop her. Trevor deserved everything he had coming to him.

Draco helped her shove him roughly inside and close the door. She muttered something he couldn't hear and tapped the doorknob with her wand, then strode purposefully towards their common room. He had to jog to keep up with her. "What'd you do to the door?" he asked curiously. She gave him a tiny smile. "I locked it. He's gonna have a hell of a time getting out of there, especially since I broke his wand in half." Draco snickered. I'm glad she's all right, he thought. Because I think I might love her.

A/N: heehee, dont worry, i wont let Draco go soft on us, that would be no fun. i hate those stories where they fall in love and get all sappy and lame. so dont forget to review, cuz i have no idea where this story is going from here, and i seriously need ideas from u ppl.
