"What's going on?" Ron asked, puzzled.
Dumbledore explained it quickly.
"Where's Hermione? I want to see her."
"Ginny, Alicia, Angelina and Katie took her to cheer her up."
"What are we going to do with Harry? I mean, he doesn't remember anything..."
"I don't know Ron."
Suddenly Ginny and Hermione came in to the Hospital wing.
"Ron?" Hermione said.
He nodded.
She ran to him and threw her arms around him.
"Oh god, you scared me so much!"
Ginny also gave her brother a hug.
"What about Harry?"
We gave him a potion to make him sleep. It- didn't work.... But were going to keep trying."
Hermione's face fell. Ron pulled her into a hug.
"Come on Hermi, where's that positive thinking?"
But he felt a pit in his stomach. He had a feeling Harry, the boy who lived, would son be known as the boy who lived, but can't remember...

"Harry.... Harry...."
"Who are you?" It was black all around.
"Think Harry... you lived because of my death... I made sure of it... don't waste it. Remember who I am, who you are!"
"I can't... I don't know... everyone keeps calling me Harry, but I don't remember..."
"Look at yourself..."
Suddenly, a pool of water appeared at his feet. His face was reflected in it.
"Your scar... he gave you that scar... remember it Harry... The green flash... the high laugh... you know it well..."
"I can't remember!"
"The Dark Lord Harry, took our lives... but you survived, and you have better things ahead of you then this. Remember what my love did..."
"And remember, we're always watching..."

The group was sitting around the fire, talking. The rest of the students, who had long learned that the group liked to be alone, stayed away, and left them to their business.
"So you say he doesn't remember anything?" said Gwen, roasting a marshmallow.
"Not a thing" said Ron sadly.
"Well, you didn't either," said Ginny. "But Dumbledore did some spell, and it worked."
"But it didn't work on Harry" George half asked, half proclaimed.
"Honestly" said Seamus. "The guy has been in so many dangerous situations, but seems to be immune to dying."
"But everything else that can go wrong does." Dean finished for him.
"No kidding" said Angelina. "Why us? Why him?"
"I don't think we need to answer that."
"Yeah sure" said Parvati. "Voldemort had a major grudge on Harry. But old Voldie's dead, right? So how come things keep happening?"
"Maybe they're like, jinxed." Said Lavender.
"We're not jinxed," said Hermione. "Trouble just seems, to uh, follow us..."
"More like stalk you..."
********************************************************************************
"This is pointless," said Sirius, throwing the book down.
"Were never going to find it," said Minerva, sighing. "For once even you look stumped, Albus."
The Headmaster sighed. "You're right. I've no idea."
"This is bad". Said Arabella. "Is there anything we can do?"
"Bella, I have a feeling that getting Harry's memory back is almost as impossible as bring James and Lily back from the dead. It just can-"
"Wait!" cried Dumbledore triumphantly. "James and Lily! That's it!"
"Um, Albus" said Minerva. "You know they're dead, right?"
"Of course I do... but in common amnesia, memory comes back, usually after a trigger. Something that represents a strong memory..."
"That just might work!" said Arabella. "But we can't bring back James and Lily... What can we do..."
"I think I know."
They went up to McGonagall's office, and Dumbledore picked up the phone.
********************************************************************************
***ring*** ***ring*** ***ring***
"Hello?"
"Remus?"
"Hello Albus... this is unusual, you usual owl."
"Well, yes, but this urgent."
"Oh? What happened?"
"It's Harry, he's lost his memory."
"What?"
"Yes, but I need to ask you something. Three years ago, when you were teaching, and showing Harry to defend himself from the dementors, did Harry tell you what happened before he fainted, as the Dementors grew near?"
Remus shivered. "Yeah... he heard... James and Lily... just before he killed them..."
"Just what I thought. Thanks, Remus."
"What can I do to help?"
"Hope that I'm right..."
They hung up.
********************************************************************************
"Okay, I know what we need." He said after hang up the phone.
"What?" The others asked in unison.
"Dementors."
"How are Dementors going to help?" asked Sirius. "I mean, I'm not sure I want my god son subjected to those. I mean, I should know..."
"Sirius, do you know what Harry hears every time a Dementor draws near?"
Sirius shook his head.
"He hears the last moments of his parents life. Lily, and James, pleading for their lives. I can think of nothing else that give a memory that could trigger his amnesia to go away. I think it's the only way."
"Fine. Let's do it."
"Arabella, contact Cornelius. Tell him I need a Dementor at the school, and make sure he accompanies it himself."
She nodded and left.
"Albus, I still don't think Harry should be subjected to the Dement-"
"Sirius, I wouldn't normally, knowing the effect they have on him. But if Harry is to get through this, it's the only way. Trust me."
"I've never trusted anybody more. Other than James..."
"I know Sirius... but we'll save Harry. I know we will."
Sirius nodded and looked upon Harry's sleeping face. "It's scary, how much he looks like James. Exactly like him... and not just in looks."
"You're good for him, Sirius. He needed someone. You, and Harry and Hermione, you've made all the difference."
"Lord knows the Dursleys didn't do anything good for him..."
"Go get some sleep, Sirius."
The dark-haired man shook his head. "I'm staying here. I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway."
Dumbledore nodded and left him alone.
Sirius sat in a chair beside Harry's bed. He played with a tendril of his godson's hair.
"Come on Harry. We need you to remember..."
I'm sorry, that was short. Next part, we'll try out Dumbledore's brilliant idea, and part thirty will be the conclusion. Almost done!
