Love Me Truly

It always happened. Every few years Alicia's parents would pack up and move to a new area of Britain, dragging her along, and never explaining why. For as long as she could remember, they had never stayed in one area for more than three years. But Alicia's memory never extended past the summer before ninth grade. Her parents told her that she had been in a car accident and lost her long term memory. Alicia had never been able to accept this story, but she played along in the hope that it might keep her parents happy. This is her story of finding out the truth among her parent's lies and her hope of regaining her true love.

Alicia awoke from a mysterious dream. Looking over at the clock, she realized she was late for her English Lit class across the campus. While getting ready she reminded herself of the hard work her mother and father did to get her here, Oxford University. She would be graduating soon, with honors of course, with a major in Literature.

"One week, she thought, one more lousy week with old Professor Navis and I am out of here and off to travel Europe to independently study the old arts of Shakespearian days."

She ran off to class completely for getting about her odd dream.

Harry's POV

Harry woke up in his apartment from the same dream that had plagued him ever since her parents took her away.

It was the first time he kissed her. They were sitting alone against a tree on the outside of the forbidden forest. It had been exactly a week since he lost Sirius forever through the veil in that old court room in the Ministry of Magic. Hermione almost lost her life fighting for him also. He thought she would have never spoken to him again. It had been his entire fault. If he hadn't have been so stupid, Sirius would be alive. Opposite of his beliefs, Hermione stayed with him. She was always by his side that week. Harry realized he had feelings for her but he couldn't figure out how to tell her. So, that night he felt the words just slip from his tongue, yet again. To his relief, Hermione began to speak.

"Harry, I don't know how to say this to you. So, I guess I'll just show you."

Hermione leaned in and kissed Harry. Harry realized what was happening and gave into the kiss. This wasn't the wet sloppy kind he received from Cho earlier that year; this was a simple, gentle kiss.

Harry's heart fell as he came back to reality.

"Where are you Hermione?" he muttered to himself as he fell back asleep.
