Disclaimer - I do not own any of the characters they all belong to the wonderfully talented JK Rowling, i only own the plot.

Their bodies fell to the floor with a thud. Hermione turned her head to see that someone else was also in the room pointing their wand at Draco. She glanced at who she thought it was, it couldn't be could it. Just as she had tried to work out who it was they stepped into the light and over to Hermione they looked her in the eyes for a moment and then towards the two bodies by the wall.

"I guess we both had the same idea" Came the familiar drawl of the teacher whom she hated the most, Professor Snape. She glared at him for a moment; she couldn't exactly say that she was trying to save Draco could she? They were supposed to be enemies, enemies don't help each other.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione asked her voice was slightly high pitched but Snape had somehow managed to remove her long teeth so they were normal again. The question was stupid and she knew it but she had said it without thinking, without even remembering that she was kidnapped.

Snape raised his eyebrows at Hermione, something strange was going on and he guessed that she was probably under the imperious curse, which of course she wasn't. Doing some quick thinking Snape pointed his wand at Hermione, he knew that Dumbledore really wouldn't like him doing this but he was sure it would be the only way to get Hermione out of the house.

"Petrificus Totalus" he said and Hermione went as rigid as ever. He picked her up in one sweeping motion and made towards the door but not before Lucius and Draco woke up, both of their wands were pointing at Snape. Venom could be seen in Lucius' eyes, he would have expected more from the supposed Death Eater. Draco was merely doing it to please his father.

"Going somewhere Snape?" Lucius asked viciously as Snape spun around, Hermione still in his arms, "I always told master not to trust you but he never once listened to me, now, now I have my proof that you really are betraying him" he said as he stepped towards Snape glowing over him rage erupting through his body. The same rage that he had felt against Draco, his own son.

Snape glared at Lucius with all his might not to drop Hermione and duel Lucius there and then. Instead of standing there he pushed Lucius and made his way towards the door but knew once he had started walking away that it was a stupid thing to do, Lucius would surely curse him.

"Accio Hermione" Draco said his wand pointing towards the still Hermione as she lifted out of Snape's arms and over to himself he caught her but hastily placed her on the floor, he would sort her out later, he couldn't while his father was there, no he would just have to wait.

Lucius and Snape both looked towards him but he said nothing and looked back. Lucius nodded towards Draco as a sign of recognition that he would sort Snape out and with that he grabbed Snape's arm and pulled him out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him, leaving Draco alone with Hermione.

Draco picked Hermione up gently, she had saved his life and he had to thank her for that, how could he be angry when she had just stopped him from dieing? "Finite Incantatum" Draco said pointing his wand at Hermione who fell back into Draco's open arms. Once Hermione was breathing and moving again he laid her onto the floor and slid down next to her.

"Thank you" Hermione said softly sitting up and looking at Draco, she didn't know why but she felt a sort of admiration towards him, he had just saved her but then she had saved him. Noticing that Draco had blushed slightly Hermione turned away, why was she feeling like this? Why couldn't she go back to being his enemy? Just as she opened her mouth to shout at him or to do something he spoke.

"I owed you one" Draco said in the same soft voice as Hermione, "You saved my life, I saved yours" he paused for a moment looking at her soft mousy brown hair before continuing, "Why did you save me? I am your enemy, I hurt you but you still saved me, I don't understand"

Hermione looked towards Draco, he was looking at her intently. "I just… I hate your father and I couldn't just stand back and watch him kill you or hurt you in front of me" Hermione said as softly and quickly as she could, it was far from the truth, she had saved him because she liked him and she knew too well.

Draco nodded a small smile on his face. It was the first genuine smile Hermione had ever seen on him and she couldn't help but smile back. Something strange was going on inside her head but she didn't want it to stop either. Before she could stop herself Hermione had moved closer to Draco and moved towards his head as he did the same. The minute that their lips touched she melted, his lips were soft and his kiss was so tender.

Just as Hermione had started to go weak at the knees Draco pulled away and when Hermione looked into his eyes he saw them filled with sadness. He looked away quickly. What had she done wrong? Was it the way she had kissed him? Did he not like it? As she tried to work out what had happened Draco stood up and looked at Hermione, letting out a sigh before speaking.

"Sorry Hermione" he whispered, Hermione could hear the sadness in his voice, "But we can't, we just can't" he paused not taking his gaze off Hermione, "It's wrong and… and if my father saw us, I'd be… well I'd be done for, it's not going to work" he said finally removing his gaze from her, "we're too different"

Hermione looked at Draco before getting up and moving towards him, "I don't care how different we are" she said a half smile on her lips, "I like you and that should be all that matters" she was surprised at her words, had she just said that she liked him? Before she could stop herself she moved closer to Draco again and pressed her lips against his. Once again Hermione felt the melting sensation again as Draco didn't pull down.

"GET OFF OF HER!" A loud booming voice erupted their kiss and they pulled away and looked to see Lucius standing in the door way, looking angrier than ever before.

A/N - I thought i would leave it on a cliffhanger for you all! I hope you liked this chapter, please R&R!
