Hermione looked at Draco, and knew that he wasn't joking around, he was being completely serious.
"And that is where we differ Draco. I don't see the point in killing someone without even knowing why that person 'deserves' to be killed. The Dark Lord kills people just because he finds pleasure in it. I don't find killing innocent people pleasurable, or killing anyone pleasurable for that matter."
"I didn't come here to argue with you Zabini. I came here because me and the Mudblood are supposed to have started patrolling ten minutes ago."
Hermione looked at the time.
"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry I didn't realize what time it was, I lost a track of time," she said as she scrambled to get up.
"Tardiness, and from our very own Head Girl. I wonder what Dumbledore would think about his Head Girl neglecting her duties in order to rendezvous in the library."
"Draco, stop" Blaise said.
"It's not my fault that Granger here finds it more important talking to you then doing her duties" Draco snapped.
"It was nice talking to you Blaise" Hermione said sending him a soft smile before she turned and walked out of the library, leaving Draco and Blaise alone.
"Do you need to be such an arse to her all the time?" Blaise asked the minute Hermione left.
"Just because you've grown soft and like to be in the company of people with tainted blood, does not mean that I have to change my attitude towards them."
"If you actually got to know her Draco, your opinion about her would change."
"Not likely. Nor would I want to waste my time getting to know her. I have better things to do." Draco said before he turned around and walked away.
Hermione heard the library doors open, and she turned her head and saw Draco come storming out. He glanced at her, and then continued forward, like she didn't exist.
"Seriously Malfoy, I am sorry I didn't realize what time it was."
Draco spun around "Did I ask you to explain yourself to me? Just stop talking, your voice is irritating."
Hermione snapped her mouth shut, angrily.
They patrolled together in silence for a few minutes until Draco spoke up.
"I'm going left, you go right. I want to get this over with as fast as possible."
Hermione looked down the corridor on the right and swallowed.
"What's the matter Granger? Scared?"
"No" Hermione said as strongly as she could.
"Whatever, meet back up here in twenty minutes so we can finish the other floors," and with that Draco took off down the corridor on the left.
Hermione watched his retreating figure until it disappeared. She took a deep breath, whispered "lumos" and took off down the corridor on the right. She walked quickly, determination in her eyes. She checked every classroom, and felt relief when she realized she only had one more hallway to check before she got back to the spot where she was supposed to meet Draco.
All of a sudden, Hermione felt goosebumps rise on her skin, she had the feeling that she was being watched.
She looked around as she continued walking, but nothing was visible.
She let out a deep breath of relief as she rounded her final corner and saw Malfoy leaning against the wall, waiting for her to return. When he saw her, he pushed off the wall, and started walking, expecting her to follow.
She picked up her pace in order to catch up with him, and felt herself relax. As much as she hated him, at least she felt safer while in his presence.
They walked up a flight of stairs, and Draco once again announced that he was going left, and that she was to go right, before he turned and stalked off down the hallway, leaving her alone again.
Hermione rolled her eyes, and started to the right.
She had looked into a few classrooms, when all of a sudden the lights went off. Hermione stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes wide in fright. She heard shuffling from behind her, and she diminished the light of her wand, and as quietly as she could, made her way down the hallway by memory. She could still hear something behind her, and she bit her lip in order to keep from screaming. She quietly kept going forward, praying for the lights to turn back on. The lights were run by magic, there was no way that they would just turn off randomly, unless someone had did it intentionally.
She knew that she was going slow, but she couldn't see a thing, and didn't want to end up tripping over something or giving herself away completely. At least with it being this dark, the person who was pursuing her, which she could feel was what was happening, couldn't see her. They had to listen to hear where she was. They too did not use a light, as it would have given their spot away.
Hermione kept creeping forwards, straining her ears to hear anything to determine how far away the person was. It was deathly quiet. Hermione could feel her heart racing, and was afraid that the person could hear her heartbeat.
Hermione ran into something solid, and screamed. The loud sound of clinking armor surrounded her. She covered her mouth with her hand, in order to muffle the sound. Everything was silent, until she heard the sounds of footsteps running towards her.
Not caring now how much noise she made, Hermione took off down the corridor, pushing herself as fast as she could go. She knew that she was making a lot of noise running, but at this point she didn't care. She was just trying to get away as fast as possible. She could hear the slap of footsteps behind her, gaining on her. She had no idea where she was going, and ran straight into a wall. She didn't know the difference between left and right.
She heard the footsteps behind her slow, and then come to a complete stop within inches of where she was standing.
Hermione held her breath, not daring to make a single sound. She was hoping that by some miracle, the person would think she had continued forward.
Hermione didn't know how long she stood there, not moving or making a sound, when all of a sudden she felt rough hands grab her, spin her around, and slam her against the wall. She felt the air get knocked out of her lungs as the front of her body made impact with the wall.
She tried struggling against the person, putting everything she had left in hopes that she could somehow slip away, but the hands that were holding her were strong, and they slammed her against the wall again, this time her face making impact.
She felt hot liquid running down her face, and knew that she had just broken her nose.
"Stop moving Mudblood" A voice hissed as they turned her around to face them. Hermione could feel the hot breath of the person on her face as they breathed. She knew her attacker was a male, that much she was sure of due to their body strength and sound of their voice.
She felt tears spilling down her cheeks, but refused to make a sound indicating that she was crying.
The person had her pinned against the wall by her shoulders, leaving her upper body completely immobile. Hermione knew she should have listened to what they said and kept still, but she kicked forward with as much strength as she could muster, and was thankful for a moment that her captor was male as he fell to his knees with a grunt, releasing his hold on her shoulders.
Hermione took off down the corridor, putting as much space as she could between herself and the man behind her. When she had run a few paces, she slowed down, straining her ears to listen for any sounds behind her.
When she heard a sound coming from in front of her, her heart dropped, and she sagged to the floor in defeat. She knew there was no way that she was going to be able to get away a second time.
"Lumos"
Hermione shielded her eyes away from the light, her eyes needing time to adjust.
Hermione rubbed her eyes a few times, and looked up.
"Granger what the hell?" Draco asked looking at her ruffled clothes, and her face covered in blood.
Hermione let out a loud sob and threw herself into his arms.
"Get off me" Draco said as he pushed her away, more gently then he normally would have.
Hermione swayed, and Draco reached out and steadied her.
"Granger what the hell happened?" Draco asked.
When Hermione didn't respond, Draco was about to snap on her, until he saw that she was shaking, and her teeth were chattering. He realized that her body was shutting down and was going into shock.
"Can you move?" Draco asked impatiently.
Once again, Draco was met with no response.
"I can't believe I'm doing this" he said before he scooped her up in his arms, and carried her bridal style as he started down the corridor, his lit wand as his guide.
Draco said the password to Dumbledore's office, and knocked on the door.
The door opened, allowing him to enter.
He stalked inside, still holding Hermione in his arms.
Dumbledore stood up from his seat, concern on his face.
"What happened?"
"I have no idea, I found her like this."
"Ms. Granger?"
"She won't respond. She's going into shock."
Dumbledore configured two red squashy chairs. "Place her in that one while I call go and get Madam Pomfrey."
Draco watched as Dumbledore left, moving faster than Draco thought was possible. He turned and leaned over one of the chairs, trying to get Hermione off of him.
When he went to put her down, Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck, and squished herself against him.
"Let go Granger" Draco hissed.
Of course, she didn't respond.
"Seriously woman you're hurting my neck" Draco said referring to her death grip on him.
Draco gave up, and sat down on the other chair, bringing her with him. Draco was actually surprised at how light Hermione was. He didn't even break a sweat carrying her, and he had carried her for quite a bit.
Draco looked down at his robes and saw that the blood from her face had gotten onto his clothes. He looked away in disgust, now he was going to have to throw them away.
A few minutes later, Draco heard the door open, and Dumbledore shuffled through with Madam Pompfrey, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape behind him.
"I need you to let go of her Mr. Malfoy" Madam Pomfrey said.
"You think this is intentional? I tried putting her down already, but the stupid girl death gripped me" Draco stated angrily.
"Ms. Granger, you're okay. Just let go of Mr. Malfoy so we can help you" Dumbledore said putting his hand on her shoulder.
Draco felt her shift slightly, and loosen her grip on him. He stood up, and sat her on the chair, untangling her arms from around his neck.
"Well, this has been fun, but I'm leaving" Draco stated as he started towards the door.
"Mr. Malfoy, you are not going anywhere" Dumbledore stated.
"What? Why?" Draco asked confused.
"Because something happened while you two were patrolling, and I want to hear both sides of this story, and in order for that to happen, I need you present."
Draco huffed and then sat in the chair beside Hermione.
Madam Pomfrey put a vial of clear liquid against Hermione's lips, and tipped it back. Hermione slowly started moving, and then sat up looking at all of them.
Madam Pomfrey then said a spell as she waved her wand, and Hermione's face was now void of blood.
"Ms. Granger, are you alright?" Dumbledore asked.
"I'm okay" she said quietly.
"What happened?" Dumbledore asked.
Hermione looked up at him, and bit her lip, fighting back tears.
"It's okay, you're safe here."
Hermione looked around and took in her surroundings. "How did I get here?"
"Mr. Malfoy carried you here" Dumbledore stated simply.
Hermione looked over at Draco, who refused to look at her.
"Oh…" she said slowly.
"Miss Granger?" Dumbledore inquired.
"I don't really know what happened really. All I know is one minute I was walking down the corridor, and the next minute the lights all went out and it was pitch black. I lit my wand, and was using it as a guide until I heard something behind me, so I diminished it immediately. I had the feeling that I was being watched, and didn't want to give away my position so easily, so I tried to make my way along the corridor as best as I could by memory. I crashed into a suit of armor, and then took off as fast as I could, by this time I knew there was someone following me because I heard them pursuing me. They ended up getting a hold of me, and…"
"And what Miss Granger?" Dumbledore asked softly.
"And they hurt me. Smashed me against the wall so I couldn't breathe, I felt blood running down my face. And they said 'stop moving Mudblood.' I knew at that moment that I had to get away, so I used al the rest of the strength I could muster and kicked him right where it hurt and ran. And that's when I ran into Malfoy."
"And where were you when the lights turned out Mr. Malfoy?" Professor McGonagall asked accusingly.
"I was patrolling a different corridor" Draco drawled lazily, already bored with the conversation.
"And did the lights go out where you were?" she asked.
"Do you think I had something to do with this?" Draco asked angrily.
"Draco" Snape said warningly.
"I find it a little odd that you were patrolling different corridors when this happened."
"We patrol different corridors every time we patrol professor" Draco spit.
"And why is that?" McGonagall asked sternly.
"Because it gets the job done faster." Draco said simply, shrugging his shoulders.
McGonagall was about to say something, but Snape cut her off.
"Miss Granger, you said that your attacker was a male?"
"Yes. I knew before I heard him talk. He was too strong to be a woman."
"Do you think it was one of the students?" McGonagall asked quickly.
Snape answered before Hermione could. "It was not a student."
"And how would you know Severus? You weren't there while it happened." McGonagall stated.
"Because no student would be capable of knowing a spell strong enough to turn out the lights in a corridor, or in this case, the whole school for that matter."
"Severus is right Minerva" Dumbledore stated. "Even I found it difficult turning all the lights back on. No student would know a spell that powerful. It was the work of dark magic."
"So you think one of the Death Eaters some how snuck into the castle?" McGonagall asked.
"It seems that way," Dumbledore stated.
"What are they after?" McGonagall asked.
"It seems that Miss Granger was their target, at least this time, although we do not know why. Therefore, she is not to be alone anywhere in this castle. If the person was able to gain entrance to Hogwarts once, they are more than likely going to be able to do it again." Dumbledore stated.
"Then we should increase security measures" McGonagall stated sternly.
"And we will. Severus and I will go over some more advanced security spells later. However, because Miss Granger is at risk, she is not to be left to patrol by herself at nighttime. Mr. Malfoy, this means that the two of you are to stick together while doing your rounds. If I find out that she has been left alone at all during your duties, then you will be stripped of your position, and it will be given to someone who will obey my rules."
Draco's lips tightened, but he made no response.
"Also, Miss Granger will no longer be living alone in the Head Girl dormitories." Dumbledore stated.
"Do you want me to put her back in with the Gryffindor's Albus? We can use some magic and make Miss Granger her own living quarters within Gryffindor." McGonagall stated.
"That is very generous of you Minerva, but I have already arranged for Miss Granger to stay somewhere else."
"Where?" Hermione asked curiously.
"With the Head Boy" Dumbledore said, a twinkle in his eyes.
