Hermione didnt know why, but the walk back to her home seemed to be much shorter then when she had left. Maybe she just wasnt paying attention because she was distracted by the fact that Draco was the one walking her home. Or maybe it was just remembering what had happened last night that had made her want to get away from her aunt in the first place. Maybe she just wasnt ready to face her yet... Yes.. That had to be it.

"Come on hurry up." Hermione's head snapped up at the sound of Draco's irritated sigh.

"Oh, sorry." Hermione ducked her head and jogged up to his side. She could see the gate entrance to her house ahead. Its flashy red color hard to miss.

Hermione glanced up at draco as he pulled open the gate to her house. As soon as the sound of the metal hit her sences, she saw her aunt come running out the front door. Wiping her hands on a dish towel.

"Hermione where in the... Oh... Mr. Malfoy." Nelly stopped mid sentence and smiled sickly sweet when she saw who had accompanied her neice home so early in the morning.

"Good morning Ms. Granger... Im sorry to have kept Hermione out so late. We got to talking and just lost track of time." Hermione walked in behind him, finally looking up into her aunts face.

It had seemed like Nelly had completly forgotten what she had been so mad about. Hermione had to surpress the urge to roll her eyes. In Nelly's mind, she had gotten what she had wanted. Hermione hadnt totaly screwed up her chances with her precious cash cow.

"You! What the hell do you think you were doing! out all hours of the night! Your acting like a little whore and I wont tolerate it!" Danny grabbed hermione by the arm and pulled her behind him, then turned back to Draco with a scowl, waving a rolling pin at him.

"I know your kind... Get out of here and I dont want to see you anywhere near her again." Danny threatened. His voice took on a low and dangerous tone.

Hermione knew this tone. He had used it on her several time when trying to scare her into letting him touch her. She had never allowed him to of course... but that had never stopped him from forcing himself on her.

Hermione shivered just thinking about it. fear showing ample on her face. Lucky for her, her aunt nelly had always showed up before he could really do anything to her. And she was glad for it. Because no matter how hard she tried... she was never strong enough to fight him off.

Draco noticed the look that Danny shot at hermione, and recognized the sheer terror in her eyes. It had been the same last night when he had so wrongfully played that trick on her.

"Who do you think our Hermione is? Some call girl you can take out all ours of the night?!" Just then Uncle Danny raised the rolling pin above his head and swung at Draco. Hermione ran in the middle of the tow fighting men to try and stop the swing. But she was quickly grabbed and swung back out to the side just as Draco grabbed hold of the pin and stopped it from hitting him.

"You know, Im starting to think that you have some other reason for not wanting Hermione around other boys." Draco sneered and shoved the pin and Danny back a few steps. "And its disgusting!" He seethed. "You know you could reciece 2-5 years prison time..." Draco smirked at the irate mans fish out of water face. "And I highly doubt you would last that long."

Hermione barely had time to register what she had heard before Draco grabbed her arm and pulled her back out of the gate to the side walk. Jerking her hand away, hermione stared him down.

"What are you doing?" Draco ignored her question. Instead he reached into his back pocket and pulled his cellphone out. Reaching over he snatched up hermione's hand and slapped the phone down in her palm.

Hermione stared at the object for a moment before looking back up at draco with a confused look.

"Whats this for?" She asked, motioning toward the phone.

"Look, something about that guy throws me off. If he tries anything, call the police." Draco said. Hermione hung her head and stared at the sidewalk. Just then draco realized. She had said that something had happened to her before... was Danny the one who had touched her? "He's the one isnt he?" Draco asked... Hermione didnt look up. Draco felt his heart pounding chest and his ears began to heat up.

"He is isnt he..." Hermione finally looked up at Draco. Her face glaring in his direction.

"I dont know what your talking about." Hermione didnt know how to admit to him that he was right... What would he think of her then? She was sure she already thought she was pathetic as it was...

Hermione held the phone back out to draco.

"Here, I can take care of my self. Thank you, but I didnt ask for your help." She said. She was sure she would be ok... She just needed to work harder and get out. Take her Aunt Nelly with her so they could live in peace... and be happy... away from Danny.

Draco growled in frustration, and pushed her hand away.

"Im not giving you a choice. I dont remember you asking permission to that cat if you could help it... so I dont see the point in why I need to ask your permission to help you... I am going to help you weather you like it or not. Im serious. If anything happens, call the cops." Draco turned to walk away. Throwing a wave over his shoulder he called out. "And dont forget our dates at the music hall. Every night 8pm... Dont be late."

Hermione watched him leave. As much as she had said she didnt want his help... she really did want it. And in such a short amount of time, Draco had been carving his own special place in her heart. To hermione, it was terrifying.

She had looked twice at a man before. Never been even remotely romatically interested. Of course she had Theo... but he was nothing more then her best friend. But Draco... For some reason he completly confused her. He came to a screeching halt quite literally into her life. He infuriates her, and makes her blood boil, but can make her smile with the slightest remark, and bring her laugh bubbling from her lips without even trying.

What kind of person does that make her? A fan? She refused to be one of his conquest... she refused to be a fluke he just had. But she couldnt help but to wonder what it would be like to really kiss his lips... to know the feeling of a heart felt kiss from him. Would it be different? Hermione turned the phone over in her hand. Draco... what does he want for all of this?

"Hermione! Hurry up and come in. You need to get to the cafe and load up the vendors cart to sell on campus today." Nelly yelled, snapping hermione from her daze. Shoving the phone in her back pocket, hermione turned and ran back into the gate.


Hermione stood under the shade tree handing out the lunches that her aunt had prepared at the cafe. she was making a good profit off of them and was sure her aunt would be happy to see it.

"Look, here comes Draco now." Hermione snapped her head up at the mention of his name and watched him strode into the crowd of people gathered on the football field. Their eyes met for a split second before he gave his attention to those around him.

"So, all bets are final. Rules are same as before. If I win, I get all the money... if I lose, person with the highest bid gets to choose the punishment." Draco said. The crowd got quiet.

"Well, I guess that would be me then." Pansy walked into the crowd with a evil smirk on her face. Draco glared at her. Then nodded his head with a smirk.

"Ok, then whats the penalty." He asked. Hermione watched at pansy circled Draco with a scruntisizing look on her face.

"well, I still need to get you back for embarrassing me like you did. Shame on you Drakey. A poor refined woman like me... tricked by a playboy like you. huh..." She wiped a fake tear from her eyes. "But you know I can never really stay mad at you right? So the penelty is simple." She shrugged her shoulders. "Run three laps around the field." She said.

Draco looked puzzled at her. He knew there was more, and he was right when she took off her pink high wedges and held them up before him and the crowd... yep... What a bitch. "Wearing these." She finished with another evil smirk his way.

"Remember these? You should... seeing as you bought them for me." She said sourly, then placed them down on the ground in the middle.

"Well, lets hear the results. Lets hear how easy this girl was and that the irresistable Draco Malfoy wins again..." She said sourly.

"Crabe, tell everyone how long it took me to break ms. Parkinson?" Draco called, with a smirk plastered to his face. He crossed his arms.

"2 hours." He answered.

"And the time limit?" Draco asked.

"24 hours." Hermione couldnt believe what she was hearing. What the hell was this? Was he going to out her infront of all these people?

"Oh, what the hell ever. Just tell us the results already." Pansy yelled her cheeks getting redder by the second as her scowl deepened.

Draco nodded his head putting his hands up to silence the crowd around him.

"I... draco Malfoy..." She met his eyes again, but this time he held them for a few seconds, then he threw his hands up and shrugged. "I lost." He said. The crowd broke out in gasps as pansy laughed.

Crabe walked up to Draco and patted his shoulder.

"Your kidding me right? You couldnt get her to kiss you at all? Not even a granny peck?" He asked. Astounded.

"Nope. I pulled out all the stops... she just wouldnt fall for it." Draco leaned down and picked up the pair of wedges off the ground then grinned cheekily to the crowd.

"Hermione didnt fall for it... she will be my last target. I have never met a more genuine girl." Draco glanced at hermione.

Hermione dug the phone out of her pocket and quickly pulled up the pictures. There it was. The picture of thier kiss showing perfectly back at her... Then why did he say he had lost... when he had won?

The first lap Draco was able to complete quite easily. The wedges gave him problems, but he did just fine. The second lap however was when things started to turn. He felt a feeling as if an ice pick was being drove through the middle of his skull. It hurt worse then anything he had ever felt. But as he passed the crowd of people who cheered him on for his last lap, he pushed the pain aside and pushed himself to keep going.

He didnt know what was wrong with him... His eyes began to blurr all of a sudden. Shaking his head, he continued to run. He was slightly winded but nothing out of the norm. His head pounded mercilessly.

Just as he reached the crowd of people, his eyes tunneled and his legs gave out... everything went black.

Hermione watched as a girl and his mother ran up to him, the crowd of people surrounding him gave room as the girl came to a crash beside him.

"Hey, can you hear me?" Astoria asked, shaking her hand infront of his face as his eyes began to open.

Draco tried to focus his eyes, he saw a flow of long wavy brown hair and a hand waving slowly in his face. Hermione... Without thinking, he reached up and snatched the hand, holding it gently.

Pulling himself into a sitting position, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the girl. It wasnt her. Draco let go of her hand as if it had scolded him.

"What are you doing here." it was the girl who had just crashed his hockey practice.

"Well nice to see you again to. Are you ok?" She asked with a smile.

"Yeah, Im fine." Draco answered. Who the hell was this chick and why did she keep showing up everywhere he was.

Looking up, he saw his mother standing above them. With a groan, he pinched the bridge of his nose. Another headache was coming. Great.

"Mrs. Malfoy, Ill take him to the infirmary. Im sure he will be fine. But he should probably go and get checked." Astoria said, looking up at his mother. Narcissa smiled.

"Thank you Astoria. please inform me if there is anything wrong." She said, then with one last look to Draco, she walked off.


Draco sat on the bed in the infirmary as Astoria placed another cold pack on his calfs.

"So your name is Draco huh?" She said, then smiled gently at him. "Im Astoria Greengrass. My father and your mother seem to be doing alot of business together. So Im thinking about transfering here." She said with a smile.

Greengrass. Draco knew who her father was. He was the one who his mother was trying to get money out of... Her debts to much for her to handle... Mr. Greengrass was her last hope on saving the school.

"Nice to meet you Astoria, but I have plans." He said, getting up from the bed and checking his watch. He was supposed to meet with Crabbe to pick up his new phone.

"You really should rest. You have alot of muscle strain in your legs." She said.

"Im fine. dont you worry about me." Draco shot her one of his signature smirks then walked to the door, just as a nurse walked in.

"Mr. Malfoy, your mother is on the phone and wishes to speak with you."

Draco nodded his head and stepped out into the hall where the phone sat by the reciever.

"Yes mother." He said icily. He didnt really have time or wanted to hear her bullshit at the moment.

"Is Astoria with you?" She asked over the line. Draco rolled is eyes and sat down on the small table by the reciever.

"Yes mother, I havnt run your cash cow off yet." He snarked off. Narcissa sighed.

"Draco this is important. Do you want to lose the music hall?" She asked. Draco could feel his blood boil up to his ears.

"Make sure you please her Draco. She is very important to my plans. If you can please her, I might be able to save the school and the music hall." Narcissa said, trying to sooth him.

"Your the only mother I know of who would sell her own son, you know that? Please her? There's a bed right here, you want me to take her to it now?" He growled into the phone. "Dont worry mother, Im sure she would just love to jump in the sheets with me." He seethed, then slammed the phone down on the reciever.

He just couldnt believe the shit his mother was trying to pull. What the hell did she think she was going to accomplish with trying to set him up with this girl. She was hardly his type and to be honest. He didnt feel any type of romantic emotion toward her... not even for a one night stand.

"So... Im a cash cow am I?" Astoria asked with a smile on her face, coming out of the room.

"My mother wants to dig into your fathers pockets and for some reason, she thinks that your the key, so now, I have to please you." He said with irritation.

Astoria just chuckled nodding her head as if she was concidering options.

"Well im glad your so honest about it. Most just try and act sly, but your honest... I like that. So if your going to please me, lets start off with a date." Astoria said, playfully punching his shoulder. " My father is hosting a charity event. Its going to be crowded with the media. You can be my date. Its two weeks from today. See you there at 5pm." She said, then walked away with a wave.


Draco sat on the chair listening to the soft melody as Hermione hit each key perfectly. He loved hearing her play, and she looked beautiful doing it. Like she was in her own little world.

Getting up from the chair, he walked up behind hermione and placed his hands on her shoulder. Hermione shivered from the contact and missed a few keys. With a soft curse, she tried and failed to concentrate on starting over.

Draco chuckled behind her. He didnt know what it was about this girl, but being around her made his heart race. She made him want to be a better man then he was before he met her... and he didnt understand why.

"What are you laughing at." Hermione pulled her hands from the keys with a huff.

"Nothing." Draco said softly into her ear. Hermione could feel his breath fan out across her cheek.

Draco trailed one hand down her arm and grabbed her hand, pulling soflty.

"Dance with me." He said gently. Hermione stood from the bench and hopped over it, standing infront of Draco.

"There's no music." She said, feeling her cheeks light up a vibrant hue of red as he pulled her close to him. She could feel his heart beating at a steady rhythm.

"Just dance. Who says their has to be music?" He asked as he swung them around in a circle and spun her out then back in.

They danced soflty and slowly for a few minutes. Draco twirling and spinning her this way and that way. Hermione couldnt keep the blush from her cheeks or her heart from pounding like a beat drum in her chest.

Draco spun her again, she could feel the air rushing past her, then as she was pulled back in, without a warning, he dipped her. Her hair swept the floor and she stared up into his beautiful grey eyes. They were soft... They were dazzling... They were... playful?

Shooting him a confused look, draco broke out into a playful grin.

"Enough of this sappy stuff... Lets really dance." He said as he pulled her back up.

Hermione couldnt hold the smile from her lips as he spun her again and again. They switched from dancing disco to cha cha to salsa... ect till both of them were rolling with laughter.

By the end of the night, Hermione was a bit disappointed to leave. Draco walked her to the Gate of her house, then turned to walk away.

Hermione didnt know what came over her, but she reached out and grabbed Draco's hand, pulling him back toward her. When she had his attention, she threw her arms over him and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you for tonight. That was the most fun Ive had in... well ever." She giggled. Her face hurt from all the laughing and smiling but she didnt care.

She wasnt sure if she would ever feel like she had tonight ever again... so she was going to cherish ever moment.

"I had fun to." Draco said hugging her softly back before releasing her.

"Dont forget. Tomorrow at 8pm." He reminded and Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Im always on time... What about you?" She asked. She could hear Draco chuckle, then he just threw a wave over his shoulder and walked off.

Hermione snuggled into her bed that night with a constant fluttering feeling in her heart. She was falling for Draco... She was sure of it now. As much as she had tried to fight it and run away from the feelings she was developing... now, she want sure she even could. Draco was different to her. Sure he acted like a tough guy and and all around playboy. But she knew... deep down inside of him. There was that little boy who lost his father way to young like she had, and he just wanted to be loved and feel like he was important.

And to Hermione, he was becoming one of the most important people in her life. Maybe, just maybe they would find something in each other that was irreplaceable and simply just live for one another.


"Good evening Ms. Belle. I have your order right here. Theres not much there, are the others going to be eating as well?" Danny asked as he stepped into the presidents house and greeted her house keeper.

"No, not today. There is a charity event tonight and Mrs. Malfoy is going to be attending." Ms. Belle said going back to the ironing of a mens dress shirt. Danny took notice of the nice mens attire and smiled hopefully.

"And I would assume that young Mr. Malfoy is attending as well, judging by the shirt you are pressing so nicely." Danny probed.

Ms. Belle placed the iron down on the board, then grabbed the shirt and hung it gently on a plastic hangar.

"Yes, he will be attending as well. I dont expect them back for some time. So I will finally have a night off from cooking. I can relax." She said then laughed.

"Oh, Im sure you deserve one." Danny said. His smile doubled. "Well I am going to head out. I have so much to do tonight. Enjoy your meal Ms. Belle." He called as he all but ran out of the house.

Tonight. He was finally going to catch her alone. After all these years of waiting. It was finally happening tonight.


"Tori, Our ball got stuck in a tree. Could you help us get it down?" Astoria looked down at the young girl who was tugging softly on her dress. bending down to become eye level with the girl she smiled.

"What tree is it?" She asked, and looked to where the girl was pointing.

"Excuse me, Im going to go and help them." Astoria said politely to the reporter who had been talking to her.

Getting to the tree, Astoria looked up at the ball and sighed. She wasnt sure if she could get it down. Taking off her heels, She took a few steps back, ran and jumped. Nothing.

Hicking up her dress a bit she took a few more steps back, ran and jumped once more. Still nothing. Astoria tried one more time and still couldnt get the ball. Standing under the tree, she stared at the offending object, wracking her brain on another way to get it down for the children. But before she could come up with anything, A blurr jumped up and hit the ball down from the tree. She smiled as the children laughed and cheered. Looking up she saw Draco standing in front of her.

"Your late Mr. Malfoy. I was concerned you wouldnt show." She said with her hands on her hips and a playful scowl on her face.

"Well Im here arent I?" He said with a smirk. She may not be the one he was after, but to him, she was a nice girl. He could see himself friends with her.

"So how do you feel about doing a little coaching?" She asked, and he looked at her curiously.

"So I may have lied a bit. I needed someone to teach the children to play soccor." She said sheepishly.

"Oh, so I was just a pawn." He teased. Astoria smirked at him, patted him on the shoulder then shoved him toward the kids.

"Exactly." She chimed in with a laugh.


Danny paced infront of the door. What in the hell was taking Nelly so long to get ready. it was aleady passed 7 and she still hadnt left yet.

"Nelly, hurry up. Or you will be late for your first night back at dance class." Danny yelled. Nelly had hurt her back a few weeks ago and had been out of dance class untill today. Her doctor had been adament on her staying as still as possible, but he finally released her to her normal routine, but with the order of takeing it slow and easy.

"Im coming, hell. What is wrong with you anyways. Practically shoving me out the door." She asked, turning to look him in the face with an accussing glare.

"Nothing. I just dont want you to be late on your first day back. Those classes arent cheap you know, and even if your only one minute late, that one minute of my money wasted." He handed her her purse and keys. "Now here are your things and get going. Dont be to hard on your back either. We cant keep affording these doctor bills." He yelled as she walked out the gate.

Danny ran to the bathroom and ran a comb threw his hair, picked up the small envelope from under the bathroom counter, then locked up and headed toward the music hall where he knew Hermione would be. He felt so giddy just thinking about it, he didnt notice the person standing behind him watching him leave.


"Astoria, Im sorry but I have to leave. I made other plans tonight and I cant cancel." Draco said, smiling apologetically to her.

"Its ok, I guess since I forced you here the least I can do is help you escape." She said. Placing her finger to her lips she began to think. "how good are you at acting?" She asked. Draco looked at her questioningly

"What?" He asked.

"Can you fake being sick, an upset stomach or something?" She asked.

Draco began to sway on his feet, then placed and hand to his eyes and rubbed them before he fell and hit the ground.

Astoria smiled. He was better then she thought he would have been. But the excuse was perfect.

"Help, someone help. I think he might have over worked himself. Im sure hes ok." She said quickly when a panic began to set it. A student from the school ran up and she bent down with him over Draco.

"Ms. Greengrass, I think he might be in worse shape then you think." He said, and immediatly Astoria looked Draco over. She couldnt believe it. He hadnt been faking it at all... He had really passed out. Worry set in and she began calling for a doctor in the crowd.

Draco opened his eyes and slowly they came into focus. What the hell happened? One second he was getting ready to act like he was sick then the next every thing went black.

Draco jerked up into a sitting position, and looked down at his watch. A string of curses flew from is mouth as he saw it was already passed 7.

"I have to go." He said. snatching his coat from the arm of the couch he had been laying on.

"Mr. Malfoy your blackout was due to lack of oxygen to the brain. I recommend going to the hospital and getting an exam. It could be serious." A man said from beside him. He must be a doctor.

"I dont have time. Im fine. It was just a migraine. I get them all the time since I started playing hockey." He said, then ran out of the house an down to his car.

His vision blurred slightly from the run and his head began to pound. Throwing his jacket into the passenger seat of his car, Draco grabbed a pill bottle from his console. Shaking out two he threw them back dry and drove off squealing tires... He was going to be late again. Damn.


Hermione walked into the music hall and looked around. Crookshanks sat on the sofa and meowed at her as she walked in.

"He's late again crooks." Hermione sat her bag on the table and shrugged out of her sweater. "Thats ok, Ill just play for you until he gets here." Hermione said, scratching the kitten behind the ear.

Hermione sat at the piano and ran her fingers over the smooth surfaces of the keys. She never got tired of playing. The soft melody of moonlight senatra began to dance in the air as her fingers hit each key perfectly.

Hermione didnt even realize how long she had been playing for, but the sound of shuffling feet brought her back to reality. She smiled.

"Your late..." She turned on the bench. Hermione jumped up from the bench when she saw her uncle Danny standing in the doorway instead of Draco.

"What are you doing here?" She asked forcefully.

Danny ignored her question. He walked up to her and slapped something into her hand. Looking down confused, hermione saw it was a huge wad of cash.

"What the hell is this for?" She yelled holding the money out.

"You have been coming here to meet that boy every night. Dont think i dont know what you were up to. Nelly is off to dance class and That boy is off to a charity event so were all alone." He gestured to the money in her hand. "Now Ive paid you... Take off your clothes." He stated. Hermione recoiled back disgusted and threw the money in his face.

"No! Im leaving." Hermione turned around and went to reach for her bag on the coffee table, but Danny ran up behind her and grabbed her hands and pulled her back into him.

"Let Go! Let go of me!" She yelled. Danny spun her around and shoved her onto the couch, then jumped at her when she tried to run away again.

"I have waited for years for this night..." He whispered sickly into her ear. Hermione felt the tears streak down her face as she kicked, clawed, punched and bit to get him off of her.

Danny began to get frustrated, and pinned her arms in his, leaning his body over hers.

"Shhhhh... Ill treat you nice. I will..." He whispered in her ear. "Stop crying... Stop crying!" He shook her a bit, tightening his hands on her arms and neck.

"Please stop... You raised me like your own daughter... please let me go..." She cried and tried one more time to push him off of her with no success.

"Let you go?" Danny laughed maliciously. "Ill never let you go... you belong to me." He said. Danny reached up and grabbed at the front of her shirt. Hermione fought him the best she could, taking her hands and shoving him as hard as she could, but he only ended up ripping the front of her shirt open to right at her breast.

"What the hell is going on in here?!" Danny turned his head and hermione took her chance to shove him off of her and to the floor before scooting as far away from him as she could. She didnt trust herself to stand at the moment. She was sure her legs would give out. Hermione could feel a sick cold feeling start to make its way into her fingers and limbs... Shock... She was almost positive she was going into shock.

"N-Nelly. Your supposed to be at class!" He yelled getting up on his legs shakily.

"I know where im supposed to be, what I want to know is what the fuck you two were just doing?!" She yelled.

Nelly ran up to Danny and slapped him in the face. "What the hell is this?!" She yelled and slapped him again. "Why the hell would you go after my niece?!" She yelled and started slapping him all over and then hitting him with her bag.

"She seduced me! I couldnt controle myself! She seduced me! She has been teasing me for so long and told me if I paid her she would give herself up to me!" Danny yelled, then ran over to the money all over the floor.

"See this?! I paid her! Im only a man, Nelly! I couldnt controle myself! Its all her fault!" Danny yelled and watched at Nelly turned toward Hermione.

"Well, What have you to say for yourself!" She screamed at hermione.

"Aunty..." Nelly slapped her. stopping the words from coming out.

"You could have had anyone! Why your uncle huh?!" Hermione choked on her tears as she tried to explain through the beating she was receiving. But she couldnt bring herself to speak. She was so terrified.


Draco ran up the steps to the music room, he could hear the yelling from the sidewalk. He didnt know what was going on in there but he knew it had something to do with hermione. And he was right.

He ran into the doors of the room and saw Hermione sitting on the couch while her aunt Nelly continuely hit her over and over. Draco didnt waste any time and ran up to her aunt Nelly, grabbing the arms she was swinging at Hermione and shoved her over into a chair.

"Hermione, What happened..." Draco looked her over and saw her face streaked with tears, bruises covered her wrist, arms, neck and legs. but when he saw her shirt ripped down the center to the tops of her breast his blood froze in is veins. It felt as if someone had doused him in a bucket of ice water. Looking behind him, he was Her uncle danny stand up from the floor and a pile of money under him... Draco lost it.

"You Bastard! Ill Kill you!" Draco jumped up to his feet and swung his arm back as far as it would go and felt satisfaction when it connected with Danny's nose. There was a sickening crunch and it only fueled draco. Draco swung over and over and over again.

"Stop it! Your gonna Kill him!" She yelled grabbing hold of draco's arm to try and stop him. Draco only shrugged her off roughly and continued to beat the hell out of Danny.

Hermione didnt budge. If she was telling the truth. Hearing Draco tear his ass up was helping her in some way. She wanted him to pay for what he had did to her... But of course... She would never say that out loud... For her aunts sake.

Two security guards ran into the room and grabbed draco. The began to drag him away from Danny, and as soon as he was far enough away. Nelly ran over to him and began to coddle him.

"Draco!" Snape came running into the room stopping infront of a still irate Draco. "Calm down." Snape said.

Draco fought against the guards for a minute then gave in.

"Are you blind! Arrest him!" Draco yelled at Snape.

"Everyone is to come to the school confrence room immediatly. We will discuss this matter and collect the evidence." Snape said shortly before grabbing one of Draco's arms and pulling him from the room.

Nelly walked up to me and snatched Hermione's arm roughly in hers and began to drag her behind her and danny.


"Ok, tell me again what happened?" Snape asked Danny as he handed him the ice pack for his battered face.

"I was there trying to get Hermione. She has been spending late nights in that place with that boy over there. I went there to drag her out and save her from his advances. And he just attacked me. I didnt do anything wrong sir. That boy right there is out of control!" Yelled Danny pointing a finger at a pacing Draco.

Draco looked as if he was stalking his prey. His eyes never left Danny and when Danny pointed a finger at him, Draco lunged. Snape caught Draco by the arms and held him back.

"Dont you dare point your finger at me and keep her name out of your filthy mouth!" Snape slammed his hands on the table in the meeting room and the room got quiet.

"This is getting nowhere with you two imbeciles! We will soon know the truth when the security footage is pulled and looked over." Snape said snapping his gaze to draco who once again had his locked on Danny's

Danny felt his heart drop into his gut at the mention of security footage.

"My husband need medical attention. I will take him home now if you dont mind. Like you said, this is getting us nowhere. And when that footage comes back showing that he attacked without reason, we will be pressing charges for assult and battery." Draco jumped infront of Nelly as she was dragging Hermione behind her.

"What kind of Aunt are you?! You saw everything! You know what happened and your going to take his word for face value! Your a sorry excuse for an aunt or a mother like figure!" He yelled into Nelly's face. Nelly recoiled back.

"I saw nothing! I know nothing of the sort! For all I know you have been paying her for her body as well in that music hall. Why dont you own up to your own mistakes as well Mr. Malfoy." She yelled. Nelly knew what she had seen... and to be honest. She wasnt all that sure that what Danny had told her was true. But she was going to get to the bottom of it the moment she got home.

"Now move so I can take my family home!" She yelled pushing past Draco and pulling Danny and Hermione behind her.

"Hermione!" Draco yelled and began to chase after them. A hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"Let me go snape! Someone has to protect her from that creep!" Snape sighed and nodded his head.

"I know Draco, but there is a better way to settle this then with fist."

Draco growled and punched the table. His breathing was coming out in short pants. He wanted with every fiber in him to run that son of a bitch down and Beat the hell out of him until he couldnt move to hurt anyone else. But Snape was right. He had to do this the right way if he was going to walk away without a charge on himself. He would wait for the footage to be collected and go from there.

"Sir." A guard stood in the doorway. "The security footage is missing." He said shakily as if he were nervous.

Draco turned on his heels to face snape again.

"So your telling me now that there is absolutly no way for me to prove her innocence?" Draco couldnt believe the shit storm that this day had turned out. what was supposed to be another good night with his girl turned out to be her worst nightmare and him almost being thrown under the jail for killing someone... and he would have to. He felt it in the first hit he had thrown on him... If the guards had been any later... He would have killed the creep.

Shaking his head, Draco stood up and walked out... He refused to let that disgusting family of freaks touch her again. He would break down the damn gate to the house itself if he had to. Noone was ever going to hurt her like that again. He would be sure of it.
