Chapter 10 - amnesia

"Do you think they will be okay Albus?" Minerva McGonagall said worriedly. She had been pacing about the Hospital Wing for hours in such a stat that Madam Pomfrey made her take a calming drought. She had been so shocked when Albus had come into her bedchamber to inform her that they had found Hermione and that she and Harry were in the Hospital wing unconscious. She had hurried to get dressed because as strict as she was she had the heart of a mother and those two children had a very special place there. Upon reaching the wing she was met by Poppy Pomfrey who stated that they were still asleep but she could not figure out how to get them awake as of yet. Minerva then sat by them and cried silent tears of fear and slight relief. Albus found her like that, with each of her hands grasping their hands.

Albus Dumbledore is a very wise old man and so after pondering her question he finally had to admit something that she would not like to hear. "I don't know Minerva," he whispered. "I just don't know. I had been with Harry moments before this took place and I am glad that I had been in my office and had not yet left to visit the Ministry. If I had not been in then Harry would not have been able to have found help in time before passing out. What I can't fathom is as to why they have yet to have awoken because there is nothing wrong with either of them and nothing has truly happened besides them both being sleep deprived and hungry."

"Albus, I am so scared," Minerva said shakily. "I don't want to think about what would happen to the world or my old heart if we lost them… Wait, Albus I have an idea. What if they were not just magically and physically drained? What if they were mentally shocked and emotionally charged? Think about it, I mean we know that if you have a big shock when you are otherwise drained it can make you pass out for many hours at the most!"

"Oh! You have a great idea," Albus said smiling gleefully. "That wonderful idea of yours would explain everything. But what do you think the emotional connection was?"

"I have a few ideas," she said vaguely.

"Do tell me, please," he said.
"Well it could have simply been the shock and emotions that go with being lost and then found," Minerva stated simply. "That would be logical and most people's first pick, but it has been my experience that with those types of shock you recover after only a few moments. That would be the reason that I do not think this the most likely charge. I believe that while separated they realized their feelings for each other and were bombarded with feelings both by the separation and then being reunited."

"Splendid, simply splendid," Said an extremely happy Albus Dumbledore. "I quite agree with you. While they are both excellent options I believe that the latter of the two is more likely. The only problem is that there is a stipulation to these types of charges when they last for more than an hour. As it has been, already, an hour and a half, I would hedger a guess that they will not be able to remember those feeling that they were just able to identify and claim before the sleeping part."

"Yes, I admit that that would be a sad thing to happen but at least now we know that they will be okay and will be soon ready to act on those feelings. I do believe that you are secretly glad that they won't be able to remember because this was you know for a solid fact that they have those types of feeling for each other and you still get to do your plan of setting them up," Minerva said before she burst out laughing from the look on Albus' face.

After a few moments of laughter they returned to the Hospital Wing. Neither had really paid much attention as to where they had been going before but somehow they had ended up in the Charms corridor. When they made it back to the Wing they realized that they had just made it in time for what they wanted. They had both desired to be there the moment they woke up. The two students woke up the very moment they reached their beds.

"Hermione,"

"Harry,"

They said at the same time as they woke up with a jolt. But neither noticed the looks that passed between the two Professors in front of them.

"Mrs. Granger, Mr. Potter, it is so nice to see the two of you awake," Minerva said kindly.

"Would you please think and see if you remember anything since lunchtime yesterday?" Professor Dumbledore requested.

"We will," they said in unison.

"At this moment the last thing I remember was um well…. I was um in my room having … a…um emotional breakdown after leaving Professor Dumbledore's office," harry recalled shyly.

"Harry there is nothing wrong with letting out your emotions," said Albus.

"Oh, Harry," Hermione said with sadness in her eyes.

"I'm fine now," harry stated before they could say anything more on the subject. "Now, what was your last recollection Hermione?"

"Well, I remember going into the stairwell that leads to Professor Dumbledore's office," Hermione said. "I remember walking up and facing the wall, but that's all."

After a few more tries of searching their memories they didn't come up with much else and the two professors left so they could go to bed as it was quite late and the day had been eventful. When they had gone Madam Pomfrey came out and got them ready for bed admits their protests of having to stay the night. In they conceded and were to stay the night with the promise that if by lunch the next day they were still in good health they could leave the infirmary. So with that Madame Pomfrey left them to rest and retired to her own bedchamber for a nights well earned sleep.
