FLASHBACK

When I finally reached the infirmary, I saw the most BEAUTIFUL sight I had ever seen. Hermione was running towards me from the exit of her room and she had a smile on her face that made her look like an angel fallen out of the sky. She ran until she reached me. I opened my arms and waited for her to come but she never did. She kept going straight and brushed past me, her brown curls swaying behind her. I turned around to see her rushing towards Potter and Weasel and when she did get to them they hugged each other for what seemed like an eternity.

I turned around and ran towards the exit to the castle so no one would see my tears. She forgot about me, about our time together, about her promise, OUR promise. I just wanted to die. I wanted to end it here and now. My life wasn't worth living and I didn't have anything to live for. So that's what I did.

I entered the Dark Forest, no wand nor anything to protect me. I just wanted to die.

END FALSHBACK

Chapter 13: What have I done?

HERMIONE'S POV (Finally!)

I was walking with Harry and Ron towards the prefect's room, although I didn't even know that it existed. I feel like this blank space in my mind, like something big was missing in my life. I couldn't place what it was but I'm pretty sure that whatever it is, or was, it must have been pretty special to me. If I could just figure what t was, my life would be complete. Harry and Ron were looking expectantly at me, like waiting for me to say something and I was quite confused, to say the least.

"WHAT is it with you guys! It's like you haven't seen me in ages! Although, I must say, what have I done in the past 5 or 6 weeks? I can't remember anything from the day Harry asked me to be his girlfriend to this day…" I finished, looking intently at Harry until Ron drove my attention away from him.

"WHAT! YOU AND HARRY ARE DATING! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" he said, his face matching the color of his hair.

"Well, RON, Hermione hasn't been in the state to tell you that and I really…"

"What state? Would someone PLEASE explain to me what has been going on with me in the past weeks!" I said, interrupting a livid looking Harry and a disgruntled looking Ron from their war of glares. As I said this, they both looked at each other and then, looking extremely guilty, turned to look at me. We were already in the prefect's Common Room, that way no one would hear us.

"Well, the thing is that…" started Harry, "I was going over to your house in my birthday and when I got there your father, if you could call him that," he said with a look of pure fury in his face, "was beating you and your mom to near death. Well, after the authorities took your dad and blah blah blah, you lost your memory." He finished looking at the floor.

"WHAT! I WHAT! HE WHAT!" I said, wanting to kill my father for what he did, "How could he? How?" I felt the tears in my eyes and escaped the nearest room. I couldn't see so I didn't know where I was going but as soon as I entered the room, I knew whose it was.

It was entirely done in green and silver and it was huge. The room was the size of a classroom. In short, the only things that were absent to make a house were: a kitchen and a bathroom. I took in my surroundings, and the amount of hair gel that was on top of a desk, and immediately realized that this must be Draco Malfoy's room.

I looked around, yet again, and me being the curious and observant person I was, quickly noticed a little book on top of the desk, next to the hair gel. I sat down in an extremely comfy chair, which was green, and looked at the booklet before taking it in my hands.

So, what could Draco Malfoy have in here? Maybe this is his diary or something. No one knows, I mean, rich spoiled brats could have a diary.

'You shouldn't look at that, it's private. Heck, you shouldn't even be here! Just get out there before he comes in and starts a fight with you or Harry.'

Yeah but I don't think he'll get by Harry or Ron and even if he does, I just want to take a peek. It doesn't hurt anybody. And speaking, rather thinking, of Harry, he has been acting kind of weird around me and I really don't want to be his girlfriend anymore. I don't want to break his heart or cause the break up of the 'Golden Trio' but I don't feel comfortable around him in THAT way.

'Look just break it easily and not today. And remember curiosity killed the cat.'

I'm not a cat.

So, I opened the book to find out it wasn't a diary, it was a photo album. The first picture was of, whom else, Draco Malfoy in his school robes and he was smiling and winking at the person that was taking the picture. (AN: Remember Wizarding pictures move.) Wow, he has a VERY cute smile. I wonder why he hasn't shown it before. Maybe cause he is a stupid ferret who can't do anything else except make someone's life a living hell. I moved on to the next page and found a DISTURBING picture. There I was HUGGING and LAUGHING with DRACO MALFOY, my TOTAL ENEMY.

Ok, calm down Hermione. It MUST have been charmed or he made it up or something because I would NEVER in a million years HUG Draco Malfoy.

'You don't look a million years old in that picture yet there you are hugging him.'

OH MY GOD! I HUGGED DRACO MALFOY. It must have been during my no-memory time cause I wouldn't hug him or even touch him in my right mind. I kept on looking and found MORE pictures of Malfoy and me doing something together and looking happy. He even has a picture of me sleeping. That is CREEPY. So, I decided to take the picture to Harry, just to see if it was true or if it was charmed. I don't think I would be in Hogwarts in another time other than school time and if I were, Harry would probably be with me, so he should know.

"Hermione, I'm SO SORRY to say that to you like that. I should have waited a bit more." Harry said, looking at me with those puppy eyes of his. The ones no one could resist. Not even me.

"Never mind that Harry, can you tell me if I'm seeing right or if it's just my mind playing games." I said, taking the album to where he was. Once he did, his eyes widened and he became even redder than Ron's hair, if that was possible. Ron was losing his temper, as always.

"How… Who… Why? OH HE IS SO DEAD!" he said with his hands balled up in fists.

"Wait, Harry, how was I alone with Malfoy? When? And please calm down before you blow something up, you know what happened in your 3rd year." I said, reminding him of the time he blew up his Aunt Marge. He took deep breaths and sat down before answering me.

"Well, you were brought to Hogwarts in the summer so you could learn magic again, since you had lost your memory. What happened here, I don't know but I want to know how is it that Malfoy was here and you guys were hugging and well, having a good time together." He said, finally looking up. "Let's go ask Dumbledore." Trust Harry to go to Dumbledore for every little thing.

As we walked towards Dumbledore's office, I received a lot of  'Welcome back's and 'Hope you are feeling better's. I just replied 'Thank you' unsure of what they were talking about. When we finally arrived at the entrance of Dumbledore's office, we found Professor McGonagall stepping down the spiral staircase.

"Ms. Granger! How nice to see you up and about. I do hope you are feeling better and I hear your memory's been restored." She said in a cheerful voice.

"Well, I really don't remember anything about that, Professor." I said, feeling quite dumb.

"Yes, yes. I was just going to look for you. Professor Dumbledore wants to have a talk with you, ALONE," she said, looking pointedly at Harry and Ron, "if you are feeling up to it of course." She said politely, looking back at me.

"Of course, see you in a bit." I said to Harry and Ron before stepping into the spiral staircase.

When I got to the top, I knocked on the door and I heard a muffled response so I entered. I went up to Dumbledore's desk and sat down in a chair in front of him, after he asked, if course.

"Ah, Ms. Granger, you got here faster than I would have thought. Lemon drop?" he said, passing the plate towards me. I took one and held it in my hand for the meantime.

" Now, I need to ask. Have you seen Mr. Malfoy lately? He was supposed to come to a meeting today and he was last seen in the hospital wing with you." He said, a hint of concern in his voice.

"Yes, when I got out of the hospital wing, after that he ran outside. Actually, I'm here to ask about him. I accidently went into his room after Harry told me a rather disturbing fact and stumbled upon a photo album in which he had a photo of him and me hugging and let's just say we aren't the best of friends." I said, popping the lemon drop in my mouth.

"Well, after you lost your memory, we brought you here so we could teach you what you had learned in years before so when you started school, if you hadn't recovered it yet, you wouldn't be completely clueless in the subject of magic. Mr. Malfoy was here in the summer and he was tutoring you and it seems that in that time you two became pretty close. If rumors are true, you even started dating." He finished. I, unconsciously, spat out the lemon drop and looked in disbelief at Dumbledore.

"I WHAT! I beg your pardon Professor but that HAD to be a lie! I would never, he would never OH MY GOD!" I screamed as I stood up.

"I assure you, Ms. Granger, that I saw, with my own eyes, how close you were. He became quite fond of you during the summer and you seemed the same with him. He has changed a lot Ms. Granger, if you don't mind me saying. Don't you remember anything of the past weeks?" he said looking at me.

"No, I don't and it's become quite confusing." I said sitting down again.

"Well, if you see him, don't be rude to him, it might hurt him more than we know and please be careful, Ms. Granger." He said escorting me to the exit. In other words, throwing me out.

"Well, I'll try but I still don't have anything clear so" I said exiting the door.

When I stepped of the stairs, I realized it was darkening already so I headed towards the Great Hall; hoping dinner was served since I was hungry.

As I entered the Hall, everyone in the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and part of the Ravenclaw table stood up and cheered. I didn't know why so I just kept going thinking that they must have announced something good or anything. That was until I almost fell down from all the hugs I received.

"Hermione! Your back!"

"We missed you so much!"

"I hope you are feeling better!"

I didn't recognize any of the people that were talking to me or hugging me, until Lavender and Parvati rescued me. Yeah, what a rescue.

"Hermione! Oh my God! Your okay! I though you weren't going to wake up! Said a nearly crying Lavender Brown. She enveloped me into a hug of near death.

"Okay, Lav, I can't breathe." I said.

"Let her go." Said Parvati. Lavender did so and sat down with Parvati and me.

"So how are you feeling Hermione, did you get your memory back?" said Lavender.

"Well, duh! She called you Lav!" said Parvati while helping herself to some food.

"Thanks for asking though." I said while putting some chicken wings in my plate, "So what's new here? What have I missed?"

"Well, you missed 2, nearly 3 weeks of class and 1 potions quiz." Said Lavender, finally calming down.

"WHAT! I MISSED THAT MUCH CLASS!" I screamed, causing everyone in the hall to look at me.

"Sorry."

"Well, yeah. You were unconscious for an eternity! School's not the same without you. Harry and Ron have had it worse. They looked miserable without you, especially Harry." Said Lavender in between bites.

"Yeah. But the rumors were worse. Some said You-know who attacked you and they brought you here to save you from him. And the worse rumor there is, is that, that," at that moment Parvati started laughing hysterically, earning a few looks. She stopped and continued.

"That you and Malfoy were going out!" said Parvati and she burst into a fit of giggles.

"Yeah. Now that you mentioned, not that I keep track of him or anything, but he has been looking miserable these days. He hasn't been getting good grades or anything, he hasn't even been to classes since yesterday." Said Lavender, staring off to space afar the last part.

Even though I didn't care for him or anything, I was slightly concerned… What have I done?

AN: Yeah, so much wait for a totally lame chapter. Well, I really don't know what to write. I have so much on my mind right now that I can't remember my plot. I hope you don't stop reading this cause of one lame chappie. I guarantee an excellent chapter right after this horror-filled weekend ends! I promise! I'll post on Monday! So, I hope you review and give me ideas and again, thanks to all the people that reviewed in my last chapter I really love what you wrote! Review and give ideas! Ciao, Alannah
