Through the night they have some conflicts, with each other and with creatures. Will their bickering kill them? Or will they work together? Summary sucks, read on.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECAP:

Upset that Draco had noticed him he pounced trying to catch him off guard, but if you'd know Draco, you'd know he was never off guard. He swung out of the way, forgetting about Hermione until it was too late. Not caring that it missed its target the creature stabbed ferociously into Hermione with its razor sharp teeth. Gnawing as she screamed in pain. Panicked, Draco ravished through his pockets scavenging for his wand.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nervously Draco Malfoy feverously looked for his wand. All he could think about was how the beast might kill her. No, she couldn't die. As much as she doesn't believe it, she means more to him then anything, even though he would never admit it out loud. Listening to her cries and screams of torment he looked faster, patting all around his body.

Some thing in his sock had been tormenting him the whole time and he was getting too frustrated as it was. Hollering in annoyance he swung his arm down and felt his sock. His wand! No time for celebration Draco, he thought quickly then immediately sent a curse they're way. Unfortunately it wasn't permanent.

"Stupfy!" The creature flung off of Hermione's body, stunned. He dashed over to her and lifted her from the ground. "Granger, listen to me. In order to be ok you have to open your eyes and get onto my back." He was looking fearfully into her deep brown eyes as she fluttered them open. Then in a horsed whisper he said amazing words, "Please, Hermione, I need you to survive."

Hermione smiled weakly and Draco thought he was in heaven. Then he remembered. He had only used a stunning spell it must have worn off by now. He turned around thinking of how to face the creature. Spinning in circles looking for the creature, but it was gone.

"Dra-co" forceful whimpers and whispers pushed from Hermione's mouth, calling his name, begging him to be by her side. "P-lease, co-me ba-." He hushed her and stayed with her.

"Hermione, listen, ok? In order to heal you, as you know, we have to have a connection. But for a wound like yours it has to be a big connection" Seeing her eyes widen he chuckled, "Not that big. But you have to let me kiss you ok? After this I'll never talk to you again if that's what makes you comfortable. But I have to do this or else you'll die. And no one wants that."

She looked up at him shocked, but, for some reason, didn't protest. She watched as he slowly lowered his head to hers and put his hands up and down the sides of her body. Shocks of electricity coursed through her body as his lips brushed hers. The slight, but powerful, touch effected them both and left Draco wanting more. Knowing that she also wasn't healed he dipped back down this time kissing her with more passion then the last one.

After Hermione was all healed they broke away dazed. Sitting in an awkward silence they momentarily stole tiny glances at each other.

"Ahem. Um we should keep going. We'll lose the Mortred if we don't go soon." Picking himself up he brushed off his pants and started to walk again.

"Uh, ya. Hey! WAIT UP!" Running to catch up with him she blushed, still not believing he'd done what he did.

They kept walking in an awkward silence until, out of no where, a blast of blue light hit them, making them fly back and slap their backs on some trees. Pain surged through their bodies as they tried to open their eyes. Being in too much pain they could only scrunch their eyes, seeing a blurry black and white figure, but once they heard the strangers voice they both new who it was.

"Tsk, tsk, son, I thought I had taught you not to associate with mudbloods. No matter, I'll just have to teach you both a lesson," Venom dripped from the older Malfoy's voice and he looked disgustingly at Hermione trying to get up. As she was getting up Draco had sprung up and darted in front of her for protection.

"You will not hurt her father. I will not let you. You've terrorized too many people I care about already." Draco felt little weak arms rap around his waist and felt Hermione rest her forehead on his back.

"Curse him and I'll lend you my power." Whispering into his back he did as he was told and attacked his father with a curse, making him disappear. Even though he was already gone you could hear his voice, very faint, for two more seconds before completely disappearing.

"I'll be back!" Draco sighed in relief as the traces of his father fully disappeared. Then he felt those arms once again move. They uncoiled from his waist and traveled up to drape around his neck, and instead of resting her forehead on his back she rested her cheek. Sighing along with him.

"Thank you, Hermione, I needed your help." He turned around as he said those words and left her arms around his neck, pressing her head against his chest. "I meant what I said, I'll never let him, or anyone hurt you." Whispering into her ear he heard her gasp and felt her look up. He looked down and metallic silver met toffee brown. They were smiling and leaning in closer together. They closed their eyes and felt each other's breaths on their faces.

Bright light surged in between them tearing them apart, ruining their moment. The yelled and rubbed their eyes then look toward where the necklaces were leading them. In front of them was a little furry creature that they had seen earlier in the day. The Mortred. It had little ears hanging from its side, and slightly resembled an over grown, very fat rat. Its nose twitched in confusion then turned and ran like a bullet down the path, wanting to loose the two. The two stood aghast then their brains kicked in again and they started to run after it.

They stopped running after about 15 minutes concluding that they had lost it.

"Great! Now what are we supposed to do!" Hermione threw her arms up in frustration, while Draco just sighed.

"I don't know, Hermione, I don't know." They both became deathly silent as they heard rapid horse breaths creeping up behind both of them. They could here whatever it was lick its lips then growl deeply. Turning around fear jolted through their bodies as the danger came closer.
