Disclaimer: i do not own any characters in this story.
A/N: Sorry for the late update! Can't find time to update it.. I know I am so evil to make Draco lose his memory. The problem now is that, I have no idea whether he should regain his memory or stay like that. Maybe you can give me some reviews? In any case, I think this chapter is going to be a short one.. I think.. Enjoy..

The Healer found Hermione asleep beside Draco's bed. She shook her gently. Hermione woke up with a start.
"You slept here the whole night?"
Hermione nodded and looked at the sleeping Draco. He looked so peaceful, relaxed and happy, not at all the old Draco, scheming and cunning.
"Well, Miss, thought you ought to know. Bradley thought that Draco had recovered quite fast, except for his memory of course. So we were thinking that you should just bring him back to school or what."
Hermione hesitated. "I will have to consult our Headmaster first."
The Healer nodded and went off. Hermione took a last glance at Draco and ran to her dormitory. She grabbed a handful of Floo powder and threw it into the fire.
"Albus Dumbledore's office." She choked.
She felt the usual spinning and knocking and before long, she stumbled into Dumbledore's office.
"Miss Granger, I wasn't really expecting you. I expect you are here to discuss about arrangements for Mr Malfoy. Not to worry, Bradley just visited me before you came in. I was thinking since it is near the festive holidays soon, why don't you bring Mr Malfoy back to your home? In this way, you will have more time to interact with one another, and help each other." Dumbledore looked at Hermione with his knowing eyes.
" I was thinking about bringing him back to his house, so he might remember some things."
"An excellent suggestion! His house is sealed for now, but I might be able to persuade the Ministry to let him stay for the holidays. And after the holidays, I hope Mr Malfoy will be well enough to come back to school." Dumbledore smiled.

Hermione rushed to Gryffindor's common room and was greeted very enthusiastically.
"Hermione! You are back!" Lavender screamed.
"Where have you been all this time?" Dean asked.
"Hermione, we are so sorry for putting the blame on you as to how Malfoy got himself injured." Parvati yelled.
Hermione fought her way through the crowd and finally came to Harry and Ron. Harry looked pleased whereas Ron looked murderous.
"Hello! I miss you guys so much! I miss everything here!" Hermione said in a single breath.
" Well, I supposed you still have someone beside you whom you miss the most, so you can't possibly miss us that much." Ron sneered.
"Ron, I…" Hermione stopped when Ron glared at her as if daring her to continue. She turned to Harry.
"How did he know about this?"
Ron flared up. " So you think I am absolutely oblivious to whatever is going on around me? We are supposed to be the Golden Trio and I was kept in the dark! Whatever is wrong with you? You are in love with Malfoy, and you know he is our rival in anything! What do you think you are doing? First, Krum, now, Malfoy! Who is it going to be next?" He glared at Hermione who looked as if she was going to burst out into tears.
Harry jumped up. "Ron, stop being unreasonable. So what if Hermione likes Malfoy? You can't just tell Cupid, Hey, I want you to break up Hermione and Malfoy. We didn't tell you because we know how you will react. Hermione is our best friend and I am just going to respect whatever decision she made in the future." Hermione smiled gladly at him.
Ron was speechless for a moment and sat down.
"You are right, Harry. I shall just respect whatever decision Hermione makes in the future. Right, so what is it, you want to tell us, Hermione?"
Hermione gave a sigh of relief. " Draco is making a speedy recovery but he is still not well enough to come back. So I will be accompanying him back to his house for the holidays.
"What!" Harry gave a yelp.
Ron looked at him in surprise. " I thought you will respect whatever decisions Hermione makes in the future?"
Harry looked confused and sat there still gulping.
"You don't have to worry about me. He has lost his memory, and he seems to think he is an orphan.
