Dumbledore had somehow gotten cloths and personal things for Alex into the school sometime that day. The campus was deserted as all students were in class. Slowly as we were running did our legs synchronize and our breath match. It was like before. We ran for a short while and suddenly Alex slowed and then stopped.

"What is it?" I asked trying to even my breath.

"You and Draco are together?" I nodded. "And Ron and Hermione?" Again yes. "Do I? Am I? Who?" I waited. Alex rubbed his temples. He knew there was something he should know. He was so close.

"Oh my God. Why did you tell me Jen?" And he started to run back to the castle.

What was this did he remember? Was he freaking out? What was going on? I took off after him. Students were changing classes as Alex pushed through. He craned his neck to look through the crowd.

"Wait!" He yelled suddenly. I was able to catch up to him and latch on to the back of his shirt. He pushed through until I saw what he saw. Ron, Hermione and Harry.

He stepped up to Harry. "I am so sorry." He said softly lifting Harry's chin and kissing him ever so gently on the lips. Harry would have none of that. He threw his books on the ground and wrapped his arms around his love and deepened the kiss.

They hugged and Hermione looked close to tears.

"You remembered me." Harry's eyes brimming with tears.

"Will you ever forgive me?" Alex said at the same time.

Harry just pulled him closer.



Alex had remembered his friends and much about his life. Though he still could not remember much magic. Later that day we were called to Dumbledore's office. Prying Harry and Alex apart long enough to take him was a challenge in it's self.

Dumbledore had us sit and told us he had heard on how much Alex remembered that day.

"There are still blank spots." Alex replied.

"Well yes it will still take time for all your memory to come back. Professor Snape has found a potion that will speed up the posses but you still will not have all memories back for at least a month. Which is remarkably quick however."

We were both pleased to hear this news but Alex and I were both eager to return to the Gryffindor common room.

Dumbledore let us go and we returned to the familiar sight of Hermione reading, Fred and George plotting, Draco and Ron playing chess as Harry looked on, and Seamus and Dean playing exploding snap. Harry smiled broadly as Alex walked in.

"Wait, I have something to give you." Harry went running up the stairs.

Alex looked at me but I simply shrugged.

Harry came down in a flash with a small box wrapped in red paper.

"It was for Christmas." Harry explained.

Alex sat down and took the small package. He unwrapped it and opened the box.

"This is beautiful." Inside was a single silver ring. Words were engraved on the side.

Harry took the ring and slipped it on Alex's finger. He read the words:

A ma vei de coer entire. You have my whole heart for my whole life.

"Welcome back." Harry said and kissed his boyfriend. "I love you."

"I love you too Harry."

Not to say that in the future there were not rough times for all of us. But on that night, life reached near perfection. We would always all be friends. We would all make it in this life as long as we had each other by our side.
