(Hermione's POV)

"HERMIONE!"

The screech nearly made me fall out of bed as the bedroom door flew open and Ginny walked in.

"What?" I groaned, looking over at the alarm clock to find that it was nine o'clock in the morning. Normally I would have been getting up around that time but I had barely slept that night and the past twenty-four hours had been really rough on me.

"Rise and shine sleepy-head!" Ginny went straight towards the French doors and threw them open, letting in even more bright light than before.

"Ugh," I raised my arm to shield my eyes, "Enough, I'm up I promise."

Ginny plopped down beside me and got serious, "How are you feeling?"

I instantly thought about yesterday and what Draco had told me. I didn't know how I felt about that yet. Yes I felt my stomach drop every time I thought about it, but this life still didn't feel real. I still couldn't believe that Draco really loved me or that I even loved him. The supposed fact that we had tried to have children and failed was something that I wasn't ready to accept just yet.

"I honestly couldn't even begin to tell you," I replied, running a hand through my hair.

"Well don't worry it'll get easier with time," Ginny said, patting my knee before jumping up and returning to her usual peppy self.

"Alright so get up, get dressed, and come downstairs. I have some stuff to show you."

She grabbed my arm and tugged me out of bed and shoved me towards the bathroom before leaving the room, shutting the door behind her.

I quickly took a shower and changed into a pair of jeans and a tank top.

When I went downstairs I found Ginny and Natalie in the kitchen. Natalie was cleaning dishes and Ginny was sitting at the island drinking something from a mug. The two were casually talking when I walked in and they stopped when they saw me.

"Would you like some coffee," Natalie offered, drying her hands on a nearby towel.

I nodded and watched as she maneuvered her way through the kitchen and pulled out a mug from one of the many cabinets, which appeared to be filled with them, and went over to the coffee pot that was next to the ginormous refrigerator.

She was a middle-aged woman with a kind face and from what I could tell so far a personality to match it. When I first met her I instantly liked her.

"Here you go miss," she said, handing me the cup.

"Natalie have I not ever asked you to call me Hermione?" I couldn't help but ask.

Natalie paused on her way back to the dishes and I could just barely make out her timid, "yes."

"Then please do. Being called miss makes me feel old," I said, taking a sip of my hot coffee and remembering how much older I was now, causing me to fight the urge to shudder.

"Formalities aside I want to show you this so get your butt over here," Ginny interjected, pointing to the seat next to her.

I conceded and when I was comfortable Ginny pushed what looked like a scrap book in front of me.

"What is it?"

Ginny gave me a look like I was stupid.

"I mean why did you give me this?"

"Open it and you'll see," she said, poking me in the arm.

So I did and what I saw took me by surprise.

It was a scrapbook filled with pictures of me and Draco.

"This was when you two were in America. I thought it might help bring your memory back. I found that and some home videos before you got up," Ginny commented.

I nodded in acknowledgement as I slowly flipped through the pages, completely engrossed by the book. The first picture I saw was of the two of us standing in front of a Starbucks with one arm wrapped around each other and clinking two travel cups with the other. There was snow all around and we were bundled up in coats, scarves, mittens, and hats. Even though it looked like miserable conditions we were both smiling and I seemed to be laughing at something Draco had said.

Another photo showed me sitting on a couch reading a book with Draco laying on it asleep with his head on my lap and me looking at the camera with my finger at my mouth, obviously gesturing for the person taking the picture to be quiet.

A few pictures over we were gathered in front of a Christmas tree opening presents and laughing.

In the last one Draco was washing dishes while I dried them. We looked like a normal couple doing chores together, except for the fact that we were both drenched in water, as if we had been play fighting and splashing each other.

"Is anything coming back to you?" Ginny asked, hopeful.

I shook my head and forced myself to close the book. I was in total shock at how happy we seemed.

"Okay then let's go watch some of those videos."

The two of us got up and went into the living room and spent the next couple of hours watching home videos on the huge plasma TV.

The first two were mostly filled with Draco and I hanging out with a group of people that I didn't recognize and having a good time like any other couple would.

It was the third video that really got to me.

It was mine and Draco's wedding video.

The beginning started at what appeared to be a backyard that was decked out with plenty of decorations. Draco was standing in front of a preacher and Harry was right next to him. All around there weren't but an estimated fifteen people.

Soon the camera focused on Ginny, who was obviously my maid of honor, as she walked down the "aisle". Then it showed me and my dad as we soon followed. When I saw myself I sucked in my breath at how gorgeous I was.

My hair was pulled into a high bun and my veil fell to the ground and trailed me. The dress itself was an ivory, a-line dress that was covered in lace. It had a halter bodice with a ruched waist and an obi sash that really flattered my figure.

When Draco first saw me his eyes widened and he visibly swallowed. Then he smiled as my father gave me away and appeared to whisper something in my ear, causing me to blush.

After the ceremony was over everyone gathered around to congratulate us before the video ended.

"You two decided to have a small ceremony with your closet's friends in mine and Harry's backyard," Ginny said, once the screen went black, "You two were so in love."

And for the first time since I woke up in this new life I actually started to believe that it was true.

Okay, not much I know, but it's progress. I promise that in the next chapter Draco will actually have a part. It's late, though, and I'm really tired so please let me know what you think.
