A/N: The story may get a little confusing. Hermione's memory is coming back. The memory will come back in dreams in the next few chapters you will learn why Hermione felt so guilty for Ron's death among other things. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Hermione was sitting at work moving slowly through a large pile of papers on her desk. Every time she started to focus her mind would wander back to the nightmare. The previous night it had felt so real but now she was wondering if it actually happened. Did Ron cheat on her? She wasn't sure how to find out the truth.

Just as Hermione was coming out of the introspection there was a knock at the door. "Come in" she said. The door opened and Draco Malfoy walked inside. He sat down across from her. "What do you want Malfoy?" Hermione asked angrily.

"I was coming to check on you Granger" Malfoy replied, "I guess it is true. You lost your memory."

"Are we friends?" Hermione asked.

"Sort of" Draco answered, "I am dating Pansy. Actually-we have a quite a past"

"Oh" Hermione sighed. She wasn't sure she wanted to know how close she and Draco were. "Well, thank you for checking on me. I am fine"

Draco sat there for a moment just staring at her. "You don't remember anything?"

"Little things" Hermione said softly. "I think my memory is trying to come back though."

"Really?" Draco asked.

"Yeah-I had a dream. A dream about Ron" Hermione told him. At Ron's name Draco paled.

"I-I" Draco stuttered. "I can't tell you how sorry I was-how sorry I am. My dad-I"

"It's ok Draco. It's not your fault" Hermione assured him.

Draco nodded and looked relieved.

"Draco- I have a question" Hermione said.

Draco looked nervous but nodded anyway, "Go on" he urged.

"Did Ron and I. Do you know if we had an issues?" Hermione asked.

Draco was silent for a few minutes and then nodded, " Not long after the war started you and Ron-you broke up for a little while"

"Why?" Hermione asked. "Did he cheat on me?"

Draco nodded his head slowly, "He slept with Lavender Brown"

Hermione felt sick to her stomach, "My memories are coming back. I dreamt about last night"

Draco seemed really uncomfortable. "I better go" Draco said. He leaned over and kissed Hermione on the cheek. "I hope you feel better Granger"

After Draco left Hermione gathered her things. "Tell Bill that I am going home" Hermione told the secretary. "I don't feel well"

Hermione went home and made herself tea. All afternoon she tried to remember but she couldn't. Hermione knew in her heart that it wasn't over –there was something much worse lurking in her memory.

Hermione gave up after an hour and decided she didn't want to know what as lurking in her memory. She decided instead to cook a nice dinner for George. She was about halfway through when Ginny showed up.

"Mione, are you ok?" Ginny asked. "Bill said you weren't feeling well"

"Headache-I am ok" Hermione replied.

"You sure?" Ginny asked. "Is that all?"

"That is all" Hermione said.

"Ok" Ginny replied. "Now- I see your making dinner tonight so I guess we can get together tomorrow."

"For what?" Hermione asked absent-mindedly.

"Wedding plans" Ginny said. "You are getting married in three months"

"Right" Hermione replied, "Sorry-I am just-"

"Hermione, you sure you are alright?" Ginny asked looking very concerned, "I think you should see a healer"

" I will be fine. I just need to rest" Hermione assured her.

"Ok, well I will go and let you rest" Ginny said. "Owl me tomorrow?"

"Sure" Hermione replied. She walked Ginny to the fireplace and gave her a little hug. "Bye" Hermione said and Ginny was gone.

An hour later Hermione had dinner done and was waiting for George.

"You're late" Hermione teased when he came through the door. He kissed her on the cheek.

"Sorry" he replied. His eyes lit up when he went into the kitchen. "You made dinner"

"I did" Hermione agreed. She led him to the table. "Now just sit while I bring out the food. George had no idea what she was up to but it felt nice. The last few weeks felt nice. The two of them had fallen into a nice routine and he honestly felt like they belonged together.

"Here we are" Hermione said sitting the food down on the table. She put food on both of their plates and sat across from him. During the meal Hermione seemed to be in good spirits. She waited until dessert to drop the bomb.

"George" Hermione said innocently over her chocolate cake. "Did you know Ron cheated on me?"

George almost chocked on the cake. "I-uh-I" George stutters.

"That is what I thought," Hermione said standing up and stomping out. George followed her.

"Mione, wait" George called after her. He followed her into the bedroom. "Hermione-please"

"Why did you hide that from me?" Hermione cried. "Why?"

"It was in the past-I didn't want to see you hurt again" George replied

Hermione sighed, "Thank you for that but don't you think I deserve to know the truth no matter how painful"

George didn't respond he just wrapped his arms around her. For moment he stayed like that-rocking her back and forth while she cried. "I will clean up the kitchen, you can take a bath and relax?" George suggested.

"Are you sure?" Hermione asked.

"Of course" George replied. Hermione smiled and left to go draw her bath.

While George did the dishes he did some thinking. He knew his time was running out. Soon she would remember everything. Then, not only would he lose her because of his lies, but also he would lose her to her own self-destruction again.

"I tried Ron" George said softly, "I tried to save her. I am sorry"
