Back in the school Blaise was spreading around how the great Potter had gotten messed up by Malfoy. Ron couldn't take it any more so he sent a curse to make Blaise lips seal shut. Of course he got detention but it was well worth it cause Blaise wasn't going to be able to speak for a day or two. Hermione was unconscious but was fully aware of what was going on around her, and she was in great pain. She could hear her father arguing with Dumbledore.
"I don't want my daughter near that boy I should have know that she would be harmed because of him after what happened this summer. Her father ranted
"Sir all do respect but Harry was harmed just as badly as your daughter doing his best to protect her." Dumbledore said as he walked to Hermione's bedside to poor a potion in her mouth. All of a sudden all the pain stopped but she still couldn't get up she felt like she was paralyzed.
"I don't care if he was hurt! I want him away from my daughter." Mr. Granger stated as he moved toward Harry's bed, which was right next to Hermione's.
"I want him moved somewhere else I want it done now." He continued pointing at Harry
"Sir is that really necessary when he wakes up he's not even going to remember your daughter." Dumbledore said sadly
"What do you mean?" Mr. Granger asked confused; and he wasn't the only one Hermione couldn't believe that Harry wouldn't remember here no matter how hard he must've bumped his head. She didn't know that he had been cursed.
"Well the curse Mr. Malfoy put on Harry would make him forget his true love; so everything they've experienced everything that he's grown to feel will be gone. All he'll probably remember his that there friends." Dumbledore said with sadness in his voice
Lupin walked in and heard what Dumbledore said
"Sir it can't be true you saw them at the dance there meant to be." Lupin said
Hermione was screaming on the inside since she couldn't on the outside.
"I will not lose him I will re-build are love if I have to; He'll fall in love with me again" She thought to herself
"Sir there has to be something you can do for them." Lupin said sounding a little hopeful
"I know these two love each other dearly but I unfortunately don't know what the counter spell is and I can't think of who would." Dumbledore said sounding hopeless. Hermione had never heard his voice sound so hopeless before it made her worry. She could then hear Harry waking up
"Ohh what's going on? What happened professor?" Harry asked as he sat up he had no clue why he was in the hospital wing.
"Malfoy put a curse on you Mr. Potter; how are you feeling?" Dumbledore said as he walked over to Harry
"Oh man I don't even remember that! Was anyone else hurt headmaster?" He asked He had yet to look toward Hermione's bed. Hermione was praying that he would remember her that he hadn't forgotten their love.
"Yes Mr. Potter Hermione was harmed but we're working on the potion that will help her come back to us it'll just take 2 more days and she'll be good as new." Dumbledore said trying to keep him from worrying
"Oh that's a relief; glad she'll be ok." Harry said
Hermione could tell right away that he had forgotten and her heart broke into a million pieces.
"I'll be back Dumbledore I have to let my wife know that her daughter is going to be ok." Mr. Granger said feeling glad that Harry no longer had feelings for his daughter.
"If you can hear me sweetie this is all for the best" He whispered into her ear
Hermione was so angry with him she didn't think she could even look at him when she woke up. Ron came to visit with Lavender the next morning when he heard of Harry's memory's loss he couldn't believe it. That was till he heard Harry speak about Hermione like if he didn't love her. Ron was furious because he saw a great thing get destroyed so easily. I know I'll show him the pictures from the dance that should help, and that's exactly what he did.
"Ron what's this about? Why do we look so close? I don't understand." Harry asked looking extremely lost; just like a little boy. He was looking at a picture of them dancing; Mione was leaning her head on his chest and he was running his hands through her hair. The picture stopped moving with the last frame showing Harry kissing Hermione on the lips. Ron and Lavender looked at each other not knowing how to go about it but knowing that it had to be done.
"Harry you and Hermione where together; She's your girlfriend you love her mate!" Ron said hoping that something would spark off in his head. But Harry just stared blankly this wasn't working.
"Ron what are you getting at me and Hermione are just good friends!" Harry said like if Ron was just messing with him.
"No Harry look at those pictures you can't tell me those are two friends dancing." Lavender said sounding frustrated; Ron put his hand on her shoulder to calm her.
"I'm sorry but I think I would remember if I was in love with someone." He said harshly you could tell that he was mad that they could suggest that he'd forgotten something so important. Ron could tell that tempers where rising so he decided he back off, but before he did he would fill Harry in on the curse.
"Harry the reason you don't remember is because when you fought with Draco after the dance on Halloween he put a very old curse on you that would make you forget your feelings for your true love he most likely did this to break the prophecy" Ron began to explain about the prophecy and Harry listened intently. Ron was wishing he could get his friends memories back; cause those memories turned Harry into a person that was happier then he'd ever been. And now just like that all of it was gone; stolen from him literally in the blink of an eye.
"Well Ron if that's the case
then what's the counter curse?" Harry asked smugly as he looked at Ron and
Lavender
"Well Harry so far it looks like there
is none; the only one who knows for sure is Voldemort." Lavender said sadly she
looked over at Hermione and saw something that she immediately pointed out to
Ron. Hermione had tears running down her face.
"Ron, Ron look she's crying; She can hear everything that going on. Everything that we've been talking about." She said quietly so only Ron could hear
"Oh man that means she know everything." Ron said still whispering. Harry looked at them
"What are you two talking about?" He asked not seeing her tears yet
Ron turned Harry's head so he could see and whispered in Harry's ear.
"Harry she could hear everything, and now she knows that you've forgotten your love for her. Her heart is probably breaking right now." Ron said
Harry looked distraught he felt bad that he was causing her any pain; even if eh didn't remember there love he did know that she was one of his closet friends. He got up and walked to her bed. He sat down next to her; Even though Hermione couldn't see she knew it was Harry. She could just feel whenever Harry was close to her.
"Hermione I know you know I can't remember loving you, and I'm so sorry for that. Looking at these pictures I can tell we had something great. I'll try to remember and if are love was true; which I'm pretty sure it must have been. Then I'm sure I'll feel it again for you." Harry said as he held her hand
It made her feel better; but Harry was always able to console her whenever she was in distress. And that a big reason why she loved him so much. She drifted into a sleep remembering the dream that Harry had, had that night and she was wondering if it was just a dream or a reality!
