Chapter 2:

Amnesia

"What?" Hermione asked. "No…you…"

Harry opened the door and called the healer in.

"Move aside," Healer Louise said to Hermione and Narcissa. She then told Hermione, Narcissa and Harry to move out of the room.

"He doesn't remember," Hermione said, knowing exactly how Narcissa had felt, half an hour ago.

"At least he remembers your name," Harry offered as a condolence.

"He remembers Granger, not Mia, not Herms, not Hermione but Granger. Just Granger!" Hermione panicked.

"Hermione, if he remembers part of you, even if he remembers you back then, he remembers more than his father!" Narcissa tried to explain.

Hermione nodded and sat down, dizziness had overtaken her.

"Hermione," Harry sat beside her, "Are you ok, is it the baby?"

Hermione shook her head, "No, it's…I just feel dizzy."

"You're overwhelmed," Narcissa said softly. "Please try to relax. I know it's hard, trust me I do but you have to relax and stay in control."

Hermione nodded, "I guess…"

The healer came out of the room, "Mrs Malfoy, Master Draco would like to see you."

Narcissa nodded and entered the room.

Hermione meanwhile sighed and leaned against Harry.

"I can't live without him," she whispered. "The last two months have been torture."

"I know," Harry put his arm around Hermione. "It must be hard."

"Imagine Ginny forgot who you were, imagine living without her."

"I can't. I can't imagine that."

"Hard isn't it," Hermione sighed, tears starting to fall. "That's how much it hurts. I never imagined I could fall in love with Draco Malfoy but I did Harry. I fell hard Harry, I…he means everything to me. My whole world is him, I'm carrying his child!"

"The future, it must have been…weird to wake up beside him."

"It was. I screamed two days in a row," Hermione chuckled at the memory. "Draco, he found it so weird, that after one day I wasn't used to it, unlike him."

"You haven't told us much about what happened between the two of you, in the future."

"I gave you some details."

"Yea but never anything specific. The only detail you gave us was about the prophecy."

A love, which cannot die unless it is killed

The words circled Hermione's head. She shook it off.

"Are you ok?" Harry asked.

Hermione nodded, "Yea fine. You know Draco can be sweet. He gave me my dream date, he took me to a romantic dinner on the beach, an amusement park, we did it all, in so little time."

"Who ever knew Draco Malfoy could be romantic," Harry chuckled.

"Very romantic," Hermione smiled. "But arrogant, all the time!"

Harry smiled. Hermione started to cry harder, "Oh Harry, what if he forgets me completely, what if the time we had in the future was all the time we ever had…"

"Don't say that," Harry assured her. "Listen to me Hermione, you were in the future. You were together, so that means he will remember and you two will be together."

"Voldemort was alive in the future."

"That's different."

"No it's not. We might have been in a parallel universe, Voldemort was alive. One thing has changed, that means anything else can change, even Draco and I."

Harry hugged her, "Don't give up hope, for your sake and for the sake of your baby."

Hermione hugged Harry back, crying softly into Harry's sweatshirt.

Narcissa couldn't believe that in one day, her husband had returned to her and now her son, in better shape than his father. She has waited so long to hear them speak, laugh , cry , anything, and know she would have the chance.

"Mother?" Draco whispered.

"I'm here," Narcissa walked up to him and hugged him. "My Draco, my baby boy."

"Mother stop," Draco sighed.

Narcissa pulled back and sat down beside him, "I thought…I thought I had lost my whole family but you and your father…returned to me."

Draco looked at the ceiling, he wanted stars up there.

"Where were you?" Narcissa asked.

Draco shuddered, "I don't want to talk about it. Not yet."

Narcissa smiled gently, "I understand. When you are ready –"

"Why was Granger and Potty here?"

Narcissa looked at her son, "What was the last thing you remember?"

Draco looked at his mother, "I was about to walk into Dumbledore's office, tell him everything. I am sorry if that's weak…"

"It is not weak."

"How long has it been since my sixth year?"

"Your seventh year finished two months ago."

"And Voldemort?"

"The Dark Lord is gone."

"Gone? Forever?"

"Yes, Draco, forever. Harry defeated him."

"You call Potter, Harry?" He asked astounded and slightly appalled. How much could he have missed?

"Yes. A lot of things happened since your last memory. Harry, the Weasleys and Hermione are friends now."

"How was the war? Where's father?"

"The war ended, leave it at that for now. After the war anyone with the Dark Mark disappeared, appearing randomly after a few days. You're father came back tonight, he has the same problem as you but a little worse."

Draco nodded, "I can go home tomorrow."

"Tonight, if we pay them a bit extra," Narcissa smiled.

"It's the Malfoy way."

"There's one thing you ought to know. Hermione lives with us."

"Why?" Draco demanded. "She's a mud-"

"Don't you dare say that word."

"I've changed that much?"

"Yes."

"Fine, why is she living with us?"

"Because I wanted to be nice. She is a friend. She has supported me when I lost my husband and my son. She has not been able to find her parents, she had nowhere to go."

"She could've lived with Potty or the Weasleys."

"The Weasley household is crowded and yes she could have stayed with Harry but there are circumstances that you don't understand."

"Like?"

"Not tonight."

"Was I friends with her?"

"After a while, yes you two had a lot in common."

Draco nodded, "I need some rest."

"Ok, I'll go to the healers and get you're papers."

Draco's eyes were shutting. He was exhausted.

Narcissa left the room and looked at Hermione, "He's asleep but we can take him home as soon as I sign the papers."

"He doesn't remember anything?"

"No, all he remembers is that he was about to enter Professor Dumbledore's office and that's it."

Hermione nodded, "I might just sit with him."

Narcissa nodded.

Hermione entered the hospital room. She sat beside him but didn't dare touch him, in case he woke up and told her to get lost. She couldn't hear those words, not anymore and not from his lips. Yes she was grateful he was back, more than grateful but her prayers were not fully answered. He could not remember her, what good was that?

Narcissa returned in a few minutes, they waited for Draco to wake up.

"It might be hours," Narcissa said.

"I know," Hermione replied.

"Do you mind if I go and sit with Lucius since you're here with Draco?"

"No, of course not."

Narcissa smiled and left the room once again. Harry had already left as more death eaters were popping up everywhere. The active members of the Order were helping the Ministry pick them up.

Hermione sat there and watched Draco sleep. He was so damn peaceful. In a way he was lucky that he did not remember a lot of the hard times.

She wanted to cry, but she was too tired to. It was getting late before Draco opened his eyes. Hermione stood up and walked over to the door and left the room to get Narcissa. She was hoping Draco had not seen her as his eyes were only half open. Unfortunately for Hermione, he did see her and it confused him. Why does she care so much?

Narcissa returned, not Hermione, which further confused and tired Draco. He sat up.

"Where's Granger?" he asked.

"Waiting outside, I think she may be getting the healers to prepare the floo network so I can floo with you," Narcissa answered.

Then it happened, Draco felt some disappointment. It was gone as fast it came but it baffled him. He refused to admit it to himself. He shook of the feeling.

Narcissa helped Draco to walk, who was still a bit wobbly. One more potion at night and in the morning he would be walking fine. Hermione was waiting at the fireplace.

"You'll floo first," Narcissa told Hermione.

Hermione nodded and headed to Malfoy Manor. After a minute, the Malfoy's appeared at Malfoy Manor.

"Hermione, take Draco to his room," Narcissa said. "I'm going back to the hospital, to get a healer to come over in the morning. I forgot to do it before we left."

Hermione paled, "O…ok."

Narcissa left leaving Hermione and Draco there.

"I know where my room is Granger," Draco snarled.

"I…"

"Cat got your tongue."

"Shut up," Hermione blurted out. "Come on."

She grabbed his arm.

"What…" Draco began.

Before he could finish the sentence, Hermione apparated him to his room and opened the door.

"I can take it from here," Draco said to her sharply.

"Fine," Hermione replied. "If you can't there are two new house elves who can help, Ducky and Rolly oh and there's Chensy too."

"I thought you were against house elves."

"I am, but this is your house."

"Right, what ever."

He got into his room and Hermione walked away. Draco watched her go and wondered why on Earth she was here, what was his mother not telling him? They were definitely hiding something, the question was What?
