AN: Well here you are, the dramatic rescue scene! I'd like to thank CrunchyMunchers, Guest, Shattered Fragment, and LucyLemmers13 for reviewing! Please read and review, because in all honesty reviews are what keep me writing this story. I'm super sorry for not updating practically all summer, I'm currently writing an actual book that I'm going to try and get published and am caught up in that and am writing this on the side. I know this is not my best writing by far and I'm really sorry for that. My really good quality writing comes better to me with my own plot and characters. Super sorry about that but do enjoy my story! :)

Draco didn't register much on the way down to the water. He heard screaming and he somehow managed to rip his cloak off so it didn't weigh him down. Then he hit the water; he felt chilled to the bone. Swimming farther under he opened his eyes; looking for Hermione. He spotted her and realized she was being dragged down by the weight of her robes. She was struggling to swim up to the top, it wasn't working. Draco's heart stoped when he saw the panicked look on her face, as the last air bubbles escaping her lips. Draco swam down to her as fast as her could. He finally reached her and grabbed her hand. She was thrashing about in total panic like people generally do when they are going to die. Grabbing the front of her robes he somehow managed to rip them down the seam; Hermione wiggled out of them understanding what he was trying to do. No way could they swim to the top with them weighing her down, it would be impossible. Right after she was free her full blown panic attack was back. Hermione tried to breathe, sucked in a lot of water, and lost consciousness.

Ginny, Fred, and George were pacing nervously at the edge of the lake. It had been over a minute and there was no sign of either Draco or Hermione. Everyone was standing on the shore; not sure what to do. The debate was if people should go in and get them, when Draco knew perfectly well how to swim and possibly mess things up. Or just leave them be and possibly let them drown. Ginny, Fred, and George were supporting the side that no one go in and rescue them with a well planned out argument. They did want Hermione to see Draco as a life saver; they just hoped their plan wouldn't get their friend killed. If someone else rescued Hermione it would ruin their plan. It was risky though, they were putting their faith in Draco. Not reassuring to a bunch of Gryffindors.

Just as they were about to decide to go rescue the two themselves there was a loud splashing just off the shore of the lake. Two heads were starting to make their way over. One of the Professors shouted a spell that zipped them right to shore. Draco dragged Hermione up and onto the beach. He was breathing hard and she wasn't breathing.

"Does anyone know a CPR spell she's not breathing!" Draco shouted panicking.

"That is a very advanced piece of magic, only certified healers are allowed to do it because of the nasty side effects if you do it wrong." Professor Flitwick yelled from the crowd. "We don't have time to get Madame Pomfrey."

Everyone stood still for a split second before panic shrieks could be heard.

"Muggle CPR." Ginny shouted over the crowd panicking now. The plan was not supposed to end up like this. Hermione was not supposed to be wearing robes that would weigh her down and make the rescue difficult. It was supposed to be her jump in, Draco jump in after her; she realizes he rescued her, he admits he loves her. Then happy couple, not dead couple. "Does anyone know Muggle CPR?" Ginny shouted again and people got quite looking at each other. Then much to everyone's shock, Draco leaned over Hermione, plugged her nose and put his mouth to hers blowing air into her lungs. Draco knew Muggle CPR, and was now saving Hermione's life.

"Draco knows Muggle CPR!" Fred let out the happy cry. "She's not going to die."

This got everyone talking again. They were looking at Hermione and Draco and talking with their friends wondering if it was going to work. Four rounds of CPR later Hermione took a deep breath by herself and starting spitting up water, Draco patted her on her back comfortingly. He was whispering something in her ear, but nobody could hear it. They did however hear the laugh that Hermione let out.

"I hope you know I'm going to burn all the couches in the castle now." Draco whispered in Hermione's ear. It sent shivers up her spine, but she laughed.

"What happened?" She asked Draco she didn't remember anything after following the flying couch out of the great hall.

"You mean you don't remember?" He asked getting worried.

"I don't remember anything after running out of the great hall after the flying couch, which I assume you were on?" Draco got panicked by Hermione's question.

"We're going to the nurse; now." He said loud enough for everyone to hear and then picked Hermione up bridal style.

"Ferret-face put me down." Hermione screamed her voice going up an octave.

Ginny started following a struggling Hermione and Draco who was trying to carry her.

"I'm not putting you down; we're going to the hospital wing."

"No we're not."

"Yes we are."

"Why should we?" Hermione asked as Ginny caught up to them.

"Because you forgot what happened before the accident which is not a good sign." Draco said, Ginny got worried now too.

"Hermione you really should go to the hospital wing." Ginny said

"Not helping me Ginny. Malfoy put me down. How do you know so much about good and bad signs anyway?" Hermione said still struggling, Draco was barely holding onto her. The entire group of people at the lake was following them and listening to the conversation. "If I don't remember anything that means I wasn't breathing for a while right?"

"I know about all this stuff because I want to be a healer." Draco said grabbing onto Hermione tighter. "Give up your struggling woman, you have no choice in this matter. Yes, you weren't breathing. You jumped into the lake because you were on fire. Then Ginny yelled you couldn't swim. I was on the couch above the lake and jumped in after you. Then I pulled you up to the shore. We didn't have a certified healer on site to use the CPR spell, so I used Muggle CPR to revive you." Draco said their hurriedly distracting Hermione who stopped struggling.

"You did what?" She yelled.

"Yes, Hermione I saved your life using mouth to mouth CPR." He said "Thanks would be nice."

"Thanks Draco." Hermione said taking in the news. He had just saved her life, could be dead right now.

The crowd hearing the end of the conversation as they reached the hospital wing started gossiping. Since when were the Slytherin Prince and the Gryffindor Princess on first name terms? Opening the door Madame Pomfrey ushered Draco and Hermione inside ordering everyone else to leave. They left to go be happy gossipers, and make changes to their original bets.
