Author's Note: I am finally updating. This chapter will explain a lot and after this there will only be two more left.

The words still echoed in my head as we all walked towards the Hospital Wing. My mind flashed back to almost one month ago after the chaos of their first date. This wasn't like Layla at all. I know her she wouldn't do something like this. She loved Draco, but never like that. Something was seriously up. I held onto Ron's hand as hard as I could to keep myself from breaking down again. Draco was my best friend since we were kids. I can't lose him. I look in front of me to see Hermione. Hermione. She's part of the golden trio who killed the dark lord, but now she looks like a lost puppy. No one can blame her and even if they did half of Hogwarts would protect her. By now Draco and she were old news just part of natural life. She was the girl who had made him nicer and kinder, but now as we follow Professor Sprout into the wing she doesn't look like that girl. All the professor's were there standing around a bloodied bed. Hermione isn't crying anymore she's holding her head high. She let's go of Blaise and walks forward, I follow.
Madame Promfry is looking at us with tear filled eyes as she tells us "I was able to save him, but something worse may have happened" Hermione's eyes lit up when she heard the words save him. I grasp onto her right hand and give a silent smile to Ginny as she holds her left. Harry speaks up asking "What do you mean worse? What exactly happened?" Everyone's smiles fade as no one had listened after save.
She sighs quietly, but replies with "All memory of his girlfriend Miss Granger is gone from his mind. So has any romantic feeling he may have felt. The bludger was supposed to hit Miss Granger and make her forget everything about herself. When this happens most patients go insane. When it Mister Malfoy the spell altered to fit the needs for him."
"What exactly does that mean?" Ron asks as most of the explanation was confusing. "When Mister Malfoy awakes he will hate Miss Granger" she answered him. "You said al memory of me, so wouldn't that entail that he wouldn't know who I was" Hermione questioned taking deep breathes.
"Sadly even that would have been curable, this magic was dark and only sought out the happiest of memories of you from his mind." She explained. With that she walked back into her office.
"Miss Granger we also saw traces of the Imperious cure on the bludger. This would mean that whoever did this was under the control of another and not acting by their own will" Professor Dumbledore began. Halfway through his sentence I had screamed "Layla!" The professor looked at me expecting an explanation. "Right before Draco was hit Layla told me she had done everything to get rid of Hermione!" I added to my outburst. Walking to the nearest portrait he told the little girl "Tell every painting to be on the lookout for Ms. Layla Malfoy and give me notice immediately.
"We will leave you now" Dumbledore told us as he and the other Professor's walked out. Hermione took slow steps towards Draco's bed as if at any second he might explode. We all followed standing around him as she sat on the edge of his bed holding onto his hand. None of us could talk; we were at a loss of words. Hermione just kept pushing his hair out of his face still grasping onto his hand. Everyone looked at her. They knew what would happen when Draco awoke, yet we didn't want to acknowledge it. We were living in denial until we heard a groan.
His groan. We all gasped or in my case squealed when Draco's eyes opened. "Draco!" Hermione practically yelled as she threw herself at him hugging him to death. What happened next will haunt me forever because the look on her face was one of true heartbreak. "Get off of me you worthless mudblood Granger! You're unworthy of kissing my feet." Draco screamed at her shoving her off. The change of momentum caused her to fall off the bed and onto the hard stone floor. "I'm sorry" Draco urgently told her as he tried to sit up. We all turned towards him mouths open in shock; he had said sorry maybe there was hope. Suddenly the doors came crashing inside exploding sending wood everywhere. I screamed when I saw Lucius Malfoy smirking at us.
Author's Note: A cliffhanger to keep you reading. I'm sorry for the longest wait ever, but I've updated now that should count for something.
