Chapter 11

"Hermione will you go out with me?" He asked looking at her with his hopeful grey eyes, how could she resist.

"I love you Draco…." She was finally able to say it! Smiling at him, she snuggled closer into his chest as he kissed her forehead and told her over and over again that he loved her too.

"Hey Hermione look! It's a snake and a loin going at it." He laughed at the irony of two house animals and she shook her head as she watched him. His hair falling into his eyes and his smile making her laugh.

"Hermione! Oh thank goodness she is waking up! Hermione! Can you hear me? Its Draco, man did you fall pretty hard!" I slowly opened my eyes to quickly shut them again due to the incredible white light that stung my eyes…wait white light? Oh My God I'm dying aren't I? DO NOT GO TO THE WHITE LIGHT I'M TO YOUNG TO DIE!

Oh wait is that Draco talking to me…?

"Huh…what." I mumbled confused as hell to the certain whereabouts of where I was currently. I slowly sat up and looked, actually more like squinted at Draco and Joshua, whom at the moment had a smile on his face like me falling was funny to him. Jerk, well at least Draco looks concerned….

"Oh man my head hurts!" I looked around the room to find myself in a small enclosed hospital-off-white coloured room and began to panic. I'm in a mental ward like in one of those movies where they think your crazy! Oh! My! God! "WHERE THE FUCK AM I?"

"Woh I did not know that she could scream that loud, sounds like a freaking banshee or something…actually that's offensive to banshee's everywhere because I think she's worse then banshee's…" Joshua laughed at his little joke as he stood staring at me in amusement. Greeeeaaatt now he notices me, not when I first came, and not in the 2 years that I have worked with him , but NOW when I probably look like a witch (no pun intended) and on top of that I was freaking out like some crazed rhino who escaped from the zoo!

"Hon-honey? Your in St. Mungo's right now. You um fell pretty hard and some of the medi-witches couldn't revive you and figured that you needed a higher level of professional help." Draco placed his hand on top of mine and a sense of calm washed over me, it reminded me of when we first began dating.

"OK men out! Hermione and I have some serious girl-to-girl talking to do because obviously I don't have a CLUE as to what's going on! Oh and don't worry Draco the Healer said she's fine but you should go and talk with him he has some important issues to discuss to you about a certain potion." Ginny stared at Draco curiously as he gulped loudly and walked out of the room with Joshua.

"OK spill." Ginny came and sat in a small plastic chair near my bed with a determined look on her face.

"Well I guess I'll start from the beginning: Draco turned out to be my bosses brand new assistant, there's a rumour that he might be taking over Joshua's, that's Mr. Anderson's first name, job. Next thing I know Joshua's gets engaged and I thought that he would be better off with me so when Draco and I had to do a project together I thought I would use Draco to try and make Joshua angry and jealous. Then I regain some of my memory of Draco and I having a relationship and I freaked. Draco still wanted to continue with "Operation Jealousy" and I thought I did too. Then I bumped into Lancy, Joshua's fiancee, and I found out for the first time in 2 years what Mr. Anderson's first name was. In 2 years of working for him and falling for him, having our life planned out I didn't even know his first name. That made me realise that I didn't know anything about Mr. Anderson. So I didn't want to continue with Op Jealousy so I called it off. Then I faint and wake up hear." I breathed out a HUGE sigh of relied to finally have everything off my chest.

"Haven't you noticed that your memories have been coming back a lot sooner and faster then in those 2 years of nothing popping out?" Ginny inquired. Looking at me worriedly.

"Actually I never really thought about it…why?" I asked now slightly worried that something was wrong with me.

"Well it turns out that Draco moving into your department and your memories suddenly coming back is not a coincident." Ginny paused for some dramatic effect, I know she really wants to be in one of those muggle soap operas but why does she have to do it now? These are the Days of Our Lives people! They don't last forever!

"What do you mean?" I asked, sitting up and turning my body more towards her.

"Well when they were examining you they found traces of some potion that some of the people down at your old department concocted. Seems like a lot of the "lost memories" cases happened after wizards and witches were attacked by certain animals. Draco was in charge of the project and development of the potion. You see the potion was to help speed up the process of regaining their memories. It seems like Draco has been slipping you some of the potion. Also that's why he became Mr. Anderson's assistant because he was able to successfully make the potion, and since it helps better in the medical departments they transferred him here. He is taking over Mr. Anderson's job because Mr. Anderson is being transferred to America with Lancy, since she works at their ministry." I gazed stupidly at Ginny, SAY WHAT? What the hell is up with all these freaking twists?

Oh look the room is spinning again…it kind of looks like one of those swirl lollipops except without colour. Oh so pretty….

"Hermione? Are you still with me?" I felt a firm hand shake my arm in a attempt to bring me back to earth.

"Yeah I'm just trying to digest everything. Well now we know that the potion works wonders, my memory is back. All of it. I remember how Draco and I got together, how we broke up, how I accidentally grabbed that bottle of beeswax instead of horses tongue when I was working on that potion before the it blew in my face. I even remember how bad it smelled, eh it smelled like burning poop." I wrinkled my nose at the memory.

Well now I know why I slept with Draco and let him kiss me without being disgusted because my stupid body was still attracted to him and acted on its own free will. Stupid body, its just like that time where I said I wasn't going to go skinny dipping in the Great Lake the night right before graduation and then somehow I was cold and naked and was being rubbed against that Giant Squids "son" and a horny merman.

"So now what?" Ginny smiled at me and patted my arm.

"I don't know." I replied.

I was released from the hospital a couple hours later and Joshua let me go home for the rest of the day. Ginny decided that I needed some company and Draco was no where in sight.

"You know what Ginny I remember my very first kiss. It was with my neighbour, Leroy Green. I, at the time was so in like with him and I thought he was the hottest, coolest guy in the world. In reality, he didn't have acne but really bad scars, an oily face complete with oily hair and braces. When we kissed it was horrible! He was sloppy and I felt like he was eating my face off." I laughed at the memory, wondering what Leroy was up to now.

"Why did you break up with Draco?" Ginny passed my some tea and sat next to me, one leg under her and her other leg swinging up and down since she wasn't tall enough to reach the end of the couch.

"I wanted a career and he wanted a family. I was scared, even though he said he would wait for me and that we could have a family anytime we wanted. He seemed so happy but I felt like there was something missing. I just couldn't figure out what it was." I whispered, staring down at my untouched steaming mug of hot, delicious tea. Hmm I would rather have some coffee though…I wonder if I should ask Ginny to get it for me, but she probably bite my head off and say that she's not my slave….

"Then I started thinking about how our kids would look like, and I could picture a miniature version of Draco running around or a adorable little girl with the same grey eyes and I realised that the part that was missing was the fact of having children and watching them grow up. It was to late though because I had already broken up with him. I hate when I realise things to late. Like that time where I thought I wanted to be part of the snowball fight with Ron and then I realised that I hate snow….sometimes I wonder about myself…." Sighing I looked over at Ginny for her response, she just sat there. I poured my heart-wrenching, ok so it wasn't heart-wrenching but it was sentimental, I think, and she just sat there. Thanks.

"Damn girl you got issues." Ginny commented.

"Gee Ginny thaaaaaanks." I lightly hit her arm.

"No seriously, you got problems. One moment your this and doing that, the next you completely do a 180! And where was I to help you get you through this? Oh I don't know maybe at home wondering how your coping and wondering if you needed my help?" Ginny eyed me in mock anger. Then she smiled, "Everything will work out for the better."

Okay so I am a little iffy about this chapter. I hope it answered some questions and cleared most things up. I know that some of you think that the story is a little too rushed but as I read, and re-read then re-re-read I felt like it was a little to fast but otherwise at a good pace so I am not changing the speed.

I do plan on finishing the story in a couple of more chapters cause I do see the end in sight but if you strongly disagree then I will keep it longer, its just I really feel that she needs all of her memories back at this point. Thanks for reading and remember READ AND REVIEW!

Much obliged. 3
