Sorry for taking so long to update. Been busy. Hope you all like it and please let me know what you all think.


When Nickie woke she sat up with a jolt. Looking about her with wide eyes she saw many people surrounding her. Each smiling and relieved. Except for the small fact that she didn't know them save for the names of six of them. At least she hoped she knew their names.

"Nickie you did it your all right." Said the one she knew to be Hermione. Nickie didn't respond though. She didn't know how to.

"Nickie dear, you all right?" asked an older red headed woman. Nickie instead just stared at her. Terrified of the simple fact that she had no idea who she was. It was at that point a tall dark-haired male ushered everyone out. And even then Nickie didn't say a word.

"Nickie, how are you feeling?" he asked when he was the only one left. Sitting there she stared at him. Hoping that if she stared long enough maybe everything would come back to her. Yet, it never did. He sighed and took at seat that was next to her bed waiting for her to finally say something. Though considering what he knew the dwarf king was capable of he wasn't sure what they were up against this time.

When it came to the king he was often cruel. There were more stories of horrid deaths and torture that no one in their right mind could even conjure up. Yet the king did so more often than anyone would like to admit to.

Looking at her he noticed that she was incredibly distant, confused, and agitated. He also noticed that she had taken to clenching the blanket in her hand and then letting it go. But she didn't say a word.

"Nickie, in order for me to help you I need you to talk to me." He said quietly. Nickie in turn looked directly at him and had frozen. Finally, she took a deep breath and bowed her head down. Soon he could faintly hear whimpering noises followed by her shoulders shaking. After a time, she looked up and he could see tears steadily falling down her face. His heart ached at the thought of her distress but he still was unable to help until she told him what had happened.

"Nickie." He said once more, hoping this time maybe she would talk. And finally, she did.

"Who are you?" she whispered her question for her throat hurt from being dry and unused.

"I am Lord Elrond, though here you may call me Elrond." He spoke softly.

"And the others?" she asked fidgeting.

"Lady Galadriel and King Thranduil." He said thinking that was what she meant.

"There were more than them. All of them, who are they? Why do they know me? What happened? Why, why did this happen? Who, Elrond who am I?" with those questions thrown out so quickly it took him a second to understand what she was talking about.

"Nickie they are your friends." He said looking confused.

"I only know six of them, and even then, its only their names." She Whispered on the verge of tears again.

"What do you mean only their names?" he asked scooting to the edge of his chair.

"I only know their names." She repeated looking up to see he himself was confused.

"Nickie, what happened? What happened in your head?" he asked trying to understand. She stiffened and looked at him.

"He took them." She said as she shrunk in on herself.

"Took what?" he pried?

"My memories."

"King Thorin took your memories?" he asked startled.

"King Thorin, what? No, the drake that took him." Said Nickie remembering the kind face. "He said that a Drake took over his body."

"You must be mistaken." He said.

"No, it was two different beings I met. The first one I though was him is evil and cruel. That one hurt me. the second one is King Thorin. He was different. He was scared, as scared as I was. And he was different. He was a Black drake. The first one was not. The first one is merely a good mimic of a Black Drake." Said Nickie.

"You are certain?" Elrond clarified.

"Yes. Thorin gave me a memory. But it hurt him to do so. It was a moment when I was looking at a picture of my family. That's all I have. And the six names." Said Nickie. Elrond leaned back in the chair. His mind going over everything that had happened in the short time that Nickie had arrived. And when he found no answer there he went back to all of the time before then.

"Elrond, he said he needed help. He said he couldn't get the, the Parasyte out of his mind."

"Parasyte?" he asked turning to look at her.

"That is what a Parasyte is isn't it? Finds a host and takes over. It's the best thing I can come up with." She answered him.

"So, it is. Rest now. I will be back in a little." He said standing up. She nodded her and watched as he quietly left the room.

Lying back down she thought about the king. He was different that the Parasyte. He was much kinder and just as scared as her. Not to mention she was comfortable around him. Like she knew he would never intentionally harm her. How she wished she could talk to him. He understood better that Lord Elrond did. He was going through a mental take over just like she had. The difference being though that he was much stronger than her.

Maybe soon everything would work out.

"What do you mean she has no idea who any of us are?" Growled Molly. She was not at all pleased with this turn of events. Nickie was part of her family.

"It seems that her memories are gone." Said Lord Elrond matter of fact.

"Well how do we get them back?" Molly asked.

"I don't know. None of us have ever had to deal with anything like this before." He said shifting slightly. "she did say however that the person who took her memories was not in fact King Thorin."

"Except that everyone was certain it was. Even Severus said that's what she said." Stated molly angrily.

"Yes, and for now we will have to play all of this by ear. At the moment I think it will be best if all of you leave her be and let her rest. She understands everything. She just doesn't know who any of you are. Except for the six, but even then, it's just the names." Said Lord Elrond getting annoyed. It was the third time he was explaining it. He understood everyone was upset but it wasn't this hard to comprehend what he was saying.

"Alright then let's leave and continue on with our day." Said Lupin. He was just as upset but could also see that repeating over and over again wasn't going to help.

Once everyone had left Elrond took a deep breath. Everything was just getting worse.
