Temptation

Chapter Three

Her mind was going wild and she didn't know what to believe. The person had told her, that her name was Hermione. That couldn't be right, could it? Surely she would remember her own name! He told her his name was Harry Potter, her best friend. Surely not, she would have remembered him. He told her that the 'stick' was a wand that did magic. This man has to be crazy, she thought, magic doesn't exist! He told her that he cast a heating spell and a healing spell.

She didn't believe it. She didn't believe him. She just shook her head at him and didn't speak anymore. The man lead her to a hospital. It was called 'St. Mungo's' Who calls a hospital that? It's kind of weird and crazy. The man checked her in and the ladies in pink, blue, and green scrubs lead her to a room with the number 145 above it. She was lead to a bed, which was comfy, and sat on the paper that was on top of it. She wiggled around until she was comfortable and waited patiently for a doctor to come in.

A doctor did come in eventually. They got a stick, err, wand out and cast several charms on her. One tingled her mind while another warmed her body again. A list appeared next to the doctor and the man's eyes widened a fraction. The doctor asked Harry to follow him outside and the man complied. Once the door shut, I walked over and tried to hear what they were saying.

"…underwater for a couple of minutes…"

"…breathing?"

"…pulled her up, she was unconscious and not breathing…"

"…till she took a breath?"

"…five to ten minutes…"

"…she end up in the ocean…"

"…ran away…trying to keep her safe…away for seven years…"

There was a pause and then the doctor was telling him what was wrong with her.

"…lost her memory…could be brought back, then again, maybe not…several broken bones in the body…throat is sore and red from inhaling water… severe concussion…"

She heard footsteps walking towards her door so she jumped back and sat back down on the bed. The doctor and Harry walked back in. The doctor had a sad expression on his face and Harry was pale and looked as if he was about to cry.

"In conclusion," The doctor started, "you have several broken bones in your body, which I will take care of after we finish talking, your throat is red and very sore, you have a severe concussion, and you have lost your memory. I'm sorry but it seems as if you have idea who you are nor what you are. I was told you were underwater for five to ten minutes and you weren't breathing when Mr. Harry Potter here resurfaced with you. Did you have any clue why you were in the ocean at 12 A.M. in the morning? Think really hard for me Ms. Granger."

She thought and thought and kept thinking for why she jumped into ocean until her head almost burst with the pain she was experiencing. She almost gave up until a memory came back to her. She saw herself running through the woods being chased by something and saw herself fall several times down hill and over large tree trunk roots. She saw a large, hairy creature running after her, teeth glinting deathly in the moonlight and eyes seeming gold in the moonlight. Her eyes snapped open and she gasped. She looked at the floor for a second, trying to get her breath back, then looked at the doctor.

"I was being chased." She said.

"What were you being chased by, Miss Granger.

"I don't know."

"What did they look like?" He questioned softly.

"It was large, hairy, and had sharp teeth. It eyes seemed to glow gold when struck with moonlight." She said.

The doctor thought for a moment before gasping and saying, "I believe the creature you are trying to describe, is what we call a werewolf." She gasped. Did werewolves even exist? She guessed this did because the scratches covering her body showed it and plus, magic existed so why wouldn't werewolves in this world?

"So once we fix up your injuries, you'll be good to go. But first, we'll give you a potion that will help you try to retrieve your missing memory."

Retrieve, she thought, like I purposely lost my memory. She snorted at that and watched as the two men in the room looked at her weirdly before going back to talking to each other quietly.

So there's wands, magic, werewolves, and potions in this weird world. She thought, What's next, flying broomsticks? She felt laughter try to bubble out of her throat but held it back and just snorted again.

The doctor waved his wand and she felt her throat become less sore and it was easier to swallow, she felt the pounding headache in her skull go away. But the pain in her right arm stayed.

"Excuse me, sir?" She asked. The doctor turned to her. "Why does my arm still hurt?"

"Oh. I was going to ask you if you wanted a cast the muggle way or if you wanted me to vanish all the bones and have you drink Skele-Gro to re-grow the bones since all the broken bones are in your right arm." Her eyes widened considerably and she said rather quickly, "Muggle way's fine, sir." She didn't want him to vanish her bones! What if they never would come back and she was left with a floppy right arm.

"As you wish, Ms. Granger." She saw him flick his wand and saw a cast appear on her right arm in a dark green coloring. The doctor handed her a 4 vials. The first one was a foam green color with bubbles in it. The name randomly came to her. Wideye Potion. She thought. She took a deep breathe a drained the vial in one go but coughed severely when she swallowed. It tasted like sewage. She felt herself awaken and felt the concussion in her head lighten up a bit.

She looked at the second one and saw that it was light pink color with swirls in it. She gulped and made a face afterwards. Moldy cheese. Ugh. She felt the pain in her arm let up a bit. Pain Relieving Potion.

The third one was a dark blue coloring with black lines in it. She took this one but was surprised to taste peaches and oranges. She felt piercing knifes on her mind and she saw some images fly through her mind. One was of her and a boy kissing on a gold and red bed. There was her doing homework and scolding a black, messy haired, green eyed body along with a lanky, red head with sky blue eyes. She was surprised. She didn't think it would be that easy for her to see some of her memories all ready. Of course she didn't get all of them but she got some. Memory Retriever.

She then took the last potion, which was a blood red color with little green dots here and there. She took it and then gagged afterwards. Bleach. Ew. Don't ever want to taste that again. She felt herself become stronger if that was possible and felt more warmth return to her body and she felt a heat under her cheeks. Blood Replenishing.

"The potion you have just recently took were in this order: Wideye Potion, Pain Relieving Potion, Memory Retriever Potion, and Blood Replenishing Potion. The Wideye Potion keeps you awake to relieve you of a concussion. The pain relieving potion is helping to relieve the pain in your arm at the moment and all the scrapes in your body though I might need to get some salve for that." The doctor mumbled. He continued, " The Memory Retriever helps retrieve lost memories. You'll have to take this potion daily for three months before all of your memories are back. The Blood Replenishing potion is for the amount of blood you lost with the scrapes and scratches on your body. You don't need to take Wideye potion after your concussion is gone, which should be after the potion wears out. You'll need to take the Pain replenishing potion every 6 hours everyday till your arm is healed. Again, You'll have to take the Memory Retriever potion daily for three months before all of your memories are back. You won't need to take another dosage of the blood replenishing potion unless you start to bleed profusely from your cuts. I think that's all for you today. Thank you for coming to St. Mungo's and I'll see you in two weeks for your check up. I'll be seeing you Miss Granger."

The doctor smiled at her before leaving the room and leaving her with Harry Potter. They sat there, well her sitting and him standing, in the room for a couple of minutes before he held a hand out to her and said,

"You'll be staying with me until you get all of your memories back." He said. She accepted his hand and helped to pull her off of the comfy bed she had been sitting on for the past hour or two. She stretched because her back was aching. She looked at the clock and saw that it was 4:30 AM. Wow. They had saw there in silence longer than they thought. She let go of his hand and followed him to a green fire were he proceeded to throw ashes in there and said to her,

"All you need to do is step in the fire and yell clearly 'Potter Manor.'"

She squeaked. How was she supposed to just jump into a very hot fireplace with green flames.

"Me?! Jump into a fire?! I'll burn to death alive!" She squeaked. Harry grinned at her and laughed.

"I promise you," He said after his laughing fit was over, "that you will not burn to death. The Floor fireplace is just a means of transportation from certain homes to another. You just need to step in and say 'Potter Manor' and you'll appear in my living room. Can you do that for me?" He asked me with pleading eyes.

I don't know why but those green eyes looking pleading into mine made me want to do want he wanted me to do. I stepped into the fireplace after closing my eyes and yelled, "Potter Manor!" And with that, I felt my body begin to spin in a familiar yet unfamiliar way and when the spinning stopped, I found myself in a very beautiful living room.

There was a red couch 6 to 7 feet away from the fireplace and it was placed directly in front of the fireplace. Under the couch was a beautiful embroidered rug. It had colors of red, gold, and brown all weaved through one another. She stepped out further and looked above the fireplace to find a flat screen TV. To her left was a huge wall full of books but she had a filling like that wasn't the only reason they were there and that there was more books somewhere in the house. To her right was the front door with a foyer table right next to it. On the table was pictures of Harry Potter himself and a lovely brown haired, brown eyed lady who was smiling lovingly at the camera. They seemed to be a bout 17 or 18. She smiled at the pictures and went to look out the door when the fireplace behind her flared to life and out stepped Harry Potter. He shook himself and ruffled his already messy hair and looked at me with those innocent yet not-so-innocent eyes of his.

"I was going to explain everything to you tonight but seeing as it is 5 AM in the morning, I think it would do us both some good to get some sleep." He said. It was true. Her potions were starting to wear off and she felt like she could fall asleep at anytime. Her arm was starting to throb in pain but she knew she shouldn't take another Pain Relieving Potion for another 2 hours. "Let me show me your room." Harry said gently and lead me up the stairs and to my 'room' with a hand on my back. He opened the door to my room, which was on the 2nd floor. We had passed a bathroom, game room, library (were I was sure to be found at sometime), and 2 guest rooms. When she got a good look at the room, she found herself breathless.

The walls of the room were a light green with a lily here and there on the wall. The carpet was a dark purple and contrasted greatly with the light green walls. The bed was in the corner. It was turned sideways and the comforter was a dark green with light purple etching. The pillows were dark purple with dark green etching. The left wall was a full wall of a bookcase that was filled with books. The right wall had a dresser and a desk on it's wall. The back wall had a circle window with a window seat that had plush cushion seats complete with comfy pillows.

Her mouth was open as she stared in awe at the room. Purple and green were her favorite colors. She didn't know how she knew this but she knew it. She heard Harry whisper, "I'll leave you to it then. Goodnight." She heard herself whisper 'Goodnight' back to him.

She walked into the room and stopped at the dresser. She looked through the dresser and found a pair of shorts, that was a dark green color, and a tank top, which was a dark blue color with the number '07' on it. She turned towards the light switch and turned the light off then walked to the bed, pulled the covers back and found the sheets were a dark purple. She got in the bed, got herself comfortable and found herself dozing off to sleep as soon as she got settled.
