Draco woke up feeling warm and cozy despite the unfamiliarity of it all. This wasn't his bed, and it wasn't definitely his room. He moaned and felt two extra pair or arms around him. Did he grow them while he slept?

He opened his eyes and remembered. Along with the glow of the moonlight was a sleeping Hermione Granger, or Lola Haze as she would call herself nowadays. Her mop of hair was scattered on her forehead, some sticking on her neck from her own sweat. Some things never change even when someone has amnesia. Her hair was still as mess, but this time he liked it because it was partially his fault why it was disheveled. Her lips were slightly parted, her freckles merely visible.

It was bound to happen, he thought to himself. With all that sexual frustration between the two of them, their will they-won't they charade wouldn't take long to be unanswered. No matter how hard he tried to resist because he knew it was wrong, he couldn't stop himself from being close to her. He was drawn every single moment it frustrated and exhilarated him.

And then they finally did it. Oh, yes they did.

She looked surreal that Draco was too afraid to move an inch even if his limbs felt numb. He pushed the hair out of her face gently, his touching making her sigh and wake. She made a timid smile as she slowly opened her eyes. She gasped. This scared Draco, was she having regrets about what happened?

"Oh my goodness! It's dark already?"

Draco was relieved and smiled. "Yes, I'm afraid so. Do you feel alright?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you feel… hurt or anything?"

Lola's perplexed look was changed into one of embarrassment. Of course there was still the lingering matter that she may or may not have been devirginized at that moment. "I… I don't know. I don't feel anything particularly bad."

"Oh, well then maybe you must have done it before." Draco was admittedly slightly disappointed, which stirred up some feelings inside of him. Why should he? He's a nobody to Hermione Granger's life. If she was in her right state of mind he wouldn't even come close as to touching her. He'd probably get a good thirty-mile hex.

"You know what, I don't care." Lola replied. "I don't remember a single thing from my past, but that didn't stop me from building myself a present. And so that's what I'm going to focus on. My present says you are my first, and so you are. And you know what," she touched his cheek gently, "I don't regret it one bit."

Draco smiled and grabbed her back to pull Lola closer to him, their bare chests closing the distance between the two of them. "I'm glad to be your first." She reached up to kiss him, sighing in his mouth. This awoken Draco even more and he moved on top of her. Lola reached for the bed sheet and covered herself, which made him chuckle. "What are you doing? It's nothing I haven't seen before."

Lola bit her bottom lip. "But I—"

"You are the most exquisite creature I have ever laid my eyes upon. Would you deprive me of seeing you?" Draco nibbled on her ear, jaw and neck. "Come on love, show yourself to me." Draco slowly pulled the sheets downward.

The night light wasn't really doing her any justice, but it had to do. She was still timid about exposing herself to him. This reminded her of the Yule Ball, when Granger was too shy to come out when she looked… amazingly different in that blue dress. It was another thing that hadn't changed about her at all. "You look… amazing. So this is what's been hiding underneath those sweaters." Lola laughed at the remark, which was replaced by hitched breaths as Draco grazed his fingers gently across her body, feeling every curve and slope. "You even feel amazing."

"Draco?"

"Yes?"

"Will you stay for the night?"

He then kissed her hip. "I thought you'd never ask." It was then that removed the sheets from her entire body, baring her completely. He grazed her thighs and raised her right leg, caressing softly to her feet and then the other. Draco held her hips and urged her to turn around and lie down on her stomach, which she obliged. He touched her from her neck to the small of her back. And her arse, it was perfect. He brought his hand to her ankles upwards, to the insides of her thighs, almost touching that special place, the prize. He repeated it several times, teasing her. The entire time Lola would shiver and moan and gasp at every contact, and it all shot ecstasy through Draco. As he would race his hand back to her thighs, it would come closer, and that was when he realized that she was wet which made him whisper her name. He turned her face so he could kiss her, it was frantic and needy. Draco raised her arse to his throbbing shaft, telling her that this is what she does to him. That she wasn't the only one who felt that way. Lola went on all fours and then moaned in his mouth out of need. "Draco, please. Please." She didn't have to plead, Draco thought. All she had to do was say what she wanted and he would do anything for her. He positioned himself and then plunged himself inside her in one smooth motion which resulted for them both to groan. Draco bit on her neck as he went in and out of her, like a hunter has caught its prey. Every thrust made her pant and him moan. He squeezed her breasts and he thrust even harder, both spiraling out of control.

"You feel so good." Draco groaned. He released one of her breasts and moved to touch her clit, which shocked her. She kept exclaiming that she was going to come, her voice a pitch higher than the last. This made Draco even go faster and harder, which did it for Lola. She screamed her release as her walls clenched him tight, making him come as well a little afterwards. He cried her name on her shoulder as he spilled himself inside of her once again. As the final waves of their orgasm wear out, they collapsed to the bed as they reach for air.

"My god, twice in a day. That was… oh my god." Lola said.

"Couldn't have said it better myself." Draco panted. Lola then started laughing as she turned to lie on her back. "What's so funny?"

"Caroline had a feeling you were good in bed. Turns out she was right. So that's what I've been missing all this time."

Draco chuckled at the remark. "That doesn't even cover half of what I can do, love. Want to know the rest?"

"For goodness sake Draco, can we at least get a breather first? I still haven't fully recovered!"

"As you wish." He said as he kissed the top of her head.

"Draco?"

"Yes?"

"I'm hungry."

"Let's grab a bite outside? After another…" Lola glared at him and he smiled. "Just kidding. I'll go get dressed."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They both went to the nearest restaurant they could find, for Lola was famished, as she would say. She couldn't believe what just happened between her and Draco… twice in a day, in fact. She didn't know what had gotten into her, she wanted him, and he felt the same. He also said he would take things slow for her because she wanted to. Turns out things would escalate quicker than she had imagined.

It's not that she regretted it, oh no. It was amazing. She never knew it could feel that great. Well she wouldn't know if she did know back then. It was her present that was right in front of her, and it was something that she felt she should mind more. It surprised her how she reacted about it all. She's been trying to remember her past so she can move on with her present, but nothing seems to have been working. All those medications the doctor had given her haven't helped, and it's as if her mind would not try to cooperate with her either. It felt pointless.

She wasn't saying that she had completely given up. That was still a part of her life. Part of her still wanted to know who she was before. But it doesn't change the fact that it's gone, for now, and that she shouldn't be too worked up about it. The life she's living in the present isn't so bad anyway. In fact, it just got a little better.

Famished was an appropriate word for Lola, in fact it almost wasn't enough to cover it. "Did I just finish all four courses without even realizing it?"

"So? So did I?" Draco answered. "We needed to recover, remember?"

Lola rolled her eyes at him as she reached for his hand. "Thank you for everything today, Draco. Really."

"It was my pleasure, literally." Draco winked. "Do you have any plans this week?"

"Not really, why?"

"Well I was wondering if we could have some dinner again, this time with your friends."

"Really? You want to have dinner with my friends?"

"Why not? Caroline seems very nice, and has good intuition about me." They both laughed again at the remark. "And you said you'd like me to meet your other friend."

"Alright then, I'll go tell them tomorrow."

"Actually, I was hoping it'll be our little secret. Tell them it will just be you three."

"Hmm." Lola took a sip of her drink. "Actually, that could work. One of them isn't entirely too fond of you, and it will be hard to convince him to come."

"That's what I thought." Draco said. "I'll tell you all about it once it's arranged." He kissed the back of her hand.

"I hope it will all go alright."

"I promise it'll run smoothly."

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Did you get botox or are you just too happy to see me? Either way, it looks terrifying." Caroline said the moment Lola arrived for work.

"Good morning, Caroline." She replied cheerfully as she put down her bag and got ready for work.

"Okay, something is very wrong with you. I can feel it. Are you on drugs right now?" Caroline inspected her face, her hands on her hips.

"Of course not! Why would I even use drugs when I'm going to work? Why am I going to use drugs at all?"

"Because it's occasionally fun? Seriously, what is so different about you that I just can't put my finger on?" She gasped. "Is this about Draco?"

Lola bit her bottom lip. "A little bit."

"Holy shit, did you shag him already?"

"I am not having this discussion with you at work, Caroline."

"Screw work! I am the boss here and I can close the entire shop until you tell me all about it!"

"All about what?"

"Don't play your innocent card at me, missy! Unless you're a guy, that wouldn't work on me." Caroline was shocked beyond compare. "Holy crap, Lola! Sex! You! It sounds so illogical until now!"

"I'm not asexual, Caroline. I am capable of sex." Lola couldn't stop herself from laughing at her friend's reactions.

"So how was it? Tell me!" Caroline held her by the arms and shook her. "Why am I even asking, this is Draco we're talking about, of course it was shag-tastic!"

"Did you just invent a new word?"

"Just tell me and stop being a prude, you wench!"

"I'm not going to tell you anything, other than the fact that you were right about him." Lola winked as she released herself from her friend's hold.

"I knew it!" Caroline exclaimed. "Damn it, I should have stolen him from you when I had the chance." Lola scoffed and hit her with her apron as they both giggled. "So how does it feel to finally get laid?"

"Drop it, Caroline!"

At the end of the day, as the two friends move to close the shop, they heard the door chime ring. "It must be Draco." Caroline said. "I need to congratulate him for getting into your pants."

"Caroline, no!"

Lola chased after her to the counter, feeling the excitement to see him again. It was dropped at soon as Caroline remarked, "Oh man, you? What do you want now?"

"Hey Lola." He smiled as he moved to hug her. She returned the hug most reluctantly with a pat at the back. "I'm glad I got a call from you, you have no idea how happy it made me."

"Hey C, how have you been?"

"I've been good. I was wondering why you wanted me to come over here today."

"Wait you invited him here?"

"Caroline," Lola mumbled as she eyed her to be nice. "Yes, I gathered you both here today—"

"How can you gather me here? I work here, we work in the same place." Caroline cut her.

"As I was saying, I gathered you both here today because I wanted the three of us to eat out tonight to get some dinner."

"Really? That sounds nice, Lola. I would love to go." He replied.

"Umm, no thanks." Caroline muttered.

"Could you excuse us for a moment?" Lola took Caroline by the arm and hid to the personnel area. "Come on Caroline, join with us please?"

"Why would I? The only reason I tolerate that friend of yours is when you're around and when I need to be civil. And I'm not in the mood to be civil; it's the end of the day!"

"Please? I don't want it to be awkward between him and Draco—"

"Wait, what? Draco is joining us too? Why didn't you say it before?"

"You know he doesn't like him very much. And Draco wants to get along with my closest friends so he arranged dinner for the four of us." Lola whispered. "Please Caroline, do this for me. I don't think I can handle it if things get rough between the two of them."

Caroline eyed her suspiciously. "Is it in a fancy restaurant?"

"Is that a serious question? Come on this is Draco we're talking about here."

"Hmm. Good point." She sighed. "Fine! But I'm not going to act as a referee too, alright? I'll be watching and betting in the stands while I drink my cocktail." They both went back outside, while he was fidgeting. "Well, this will be fun!"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Draco certainly didn't plan to disappoint, he booked at a fancy Italian restaurant, ordered the usual four courses, remembering the last time he and Lola ate out. Just the memory of that day made him stir and cannot wait to be with her again.

But, first things first.

Tonight would also be the time that he would meet the supposed culprit to her amnesia. He still had no idea who it could be, the motive, and the idleness of the agenda. It has been years and the mastermind has not made any move other than keep Hermione's memories in check. He thought it must have been something not entirely thought through. The guy must have been mentally challenged.

Nevertheless, somehow he wanted to thank him. If it weren't for his stupidity and lack of security towards her, he wouldn't have spent some time with her. Quality time with Hermione Granger seemed to have been impossible, turns out you just needed to alter her memory. Why didn't he think of that?

On a serious note, he thought about what he would do once he fixed this problem. He didn't want a reward, oh no. Who cares what everyone else thinks when this is all over? He wasn't after the fame of let alone the gratitude of Potter and Friends gang. Surely she would get her memories back. And along with the memories of the present, what will become of the two of them? He has grown… fond of her, thus the sex. He enjoys her company. Will it all be over once all is said and done? Draco was tempted to cancel the meeting, but why? So he could keep her? Could he live with that for the rest of his life?

Wait. It's not like he's going to marry her or anything.

He could've just stopped seeing her when he wasn't entirely attached. Or at least turned her to Potter the day he saw her.

Who's mentally challenged now?

He was in the middle of contemplating when he felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around and saw Lola, smiling at him like an angel. "Hello."

"Hi love," He stood and kissed her softly on the lips, his hands moving to her waist. "How was your day?"

"It was good, but it just became better."

"Hi Caroline." Draco greeted her friend.

"Oh, you can see me? The entire time I thought I was invisible." Caroline teased as she rolled her eyes. "Not too bad, Draco. This place looks really nice."

"Where's your other friend?"

"He just went to the loo, he'll be right with us." Lola replied. Draco took them to their seats and chatted with them for a bit when he heard a voice behind him.

"I'm back. Who's this?"

Draco turned around and a smug smile formed on his face at the sight of the man behind him.

"This here is Draco." Lola said nervously. "Draco, I'd like you to meet my friend—"

"Oh it's okay, we've already met." Draco snarled. "Didn't know you were still alive, McLaggen."

Okay so I did! I finally revealed who C is! Some of you are very smart and figured it out way back. I wanted to fool you guys and think of a different character but it could disrupt the flow of the story so I stuck with it now.

Thanks for everyone who's been patiently waiting and reading, the old and new readers, I appreciate you all. Please hang on even if the big reveal is done, who knows there could be more. ;) Until the next chapter! Reviews are very welcome!
