At that point, Hermione was sure she was going to be raped...but then an enraged Thorfinn Rowle and his fellow Slytherins burst in the door to rescue her. Thorfinn saw a mostly-naked Hermione Granger held fast by the Weasel, with Potter who having overpowering her, was preparing to rape her! He saw red! He slugged Potter and then grabbed the Weasel, pulling his dirty paws off of Hermione, before he threw him across the room. Released, Hermione then sank to the floor.

While Pansy, Daphne, Astoria, and Muriel all went to her assistance, Thorfinn's fellow wizards advanced upon Potter and Weasel. The Weasel asked why they were interfering on behalf of a filthy mudblood. Before Rowle had a chance to pulverize him, Draco strode up and belted him across the face saying, "Don't ever call her that name again!"

The Weasel couldn't resist replying, "What, a Malfoy protecting a dirty mudblood. What would your daddy think...?

And that was as far as he went as Marcus Flint pulled back his massive fist and then punched him in the gut. Doubling over, the Weasel sank to the floor, moaning in pain. "Keep your filthy mouth shut, Weasel, or I will shut it for you...permanently!" he threatened.

Potter tried to come to the Weasel's defense but he was grabbed by Crabbe and Goyle who held him steady. Draco walked up and said, "Rapists aren't welcome at Hogwarts...! The next time you try a stunt like this, we will kill you!" And then he proceeded to kick Potter in the groin...as hard as he could kick!

Potter doubled over but Crabbe and Goyle held him steady giving Thorfinn and Marcus Flint an opportunity of their own to knee him in the groin! And then having nodded to Crabbe and Goyle, they let go of Potter and let him fall to the floor beside the Weasel!

And then it was Thorfinn's turn again... He hauled the Weasel to his feet and then punched him in the jaw, thus breaking it. As he stood over him, Thorfinn said, "IF you ever touch Hermione again, I will break every single bone in your body...before feeding you to the Giant Squid. And if I am unable to do so, all my fellow Slytherin's will happily do so on my behalf."

At that, all the Slytherins nodded in agreement.

Continuing, Thorfinn said menacingly, "I needn't remind you that you are not to say what happened today...because if you do, the whole world will know that you and the Weasel tried to rape Hermione Granger...my entire House will testify against both of you...and then you two will end up in Azkaban...where scum like you belong!"

And then Thorfinn stalked over to Hermione and picked her up in his arms. He and all the Slytherin's headed back to their common room. Hermione protested that she wasn't allowed in Slytherin House but they said that she was an honorary Slytherin and she was one of them, as far as they were concerned.

Once they were all safely in the Slytherin common room, the wizards lined the walls while the witches surrounded Hermione, ministering to her. Astoria dug out some underwear and another shirt and uniform. Escorting Hermione to a bathroom, she cleaned her up and got her re-dressed. Then they all returned to the common room.
