The girls turned to find Ron standing behind them.

"How do you know what a Parsel mouth is?" Stephanie asked.

"Cause Harry's one." Ron said.

"Is he? Gin, you've known him for ages and he's practically a seventh brother to you. Why didn't you tell us?" Sophie whined.

"I don't have to tell you every thing." Ginny shot back and the girls burst out laughing.

"Oh no! Not again!" Ron groaned

From down the hallway, tiny Professor Flitwick heard laughter. He went to see what was going on.

"What would four young Gryffindors like yourselves be doing in the Slytherin Dungeons?" Professor Flitwick asked in a squeaky voice.

"G-giving Crabbe a-and Goyle a t-taste of t-their own m-medicine!" Stephanie said, as she tried to gain back her breath.

"What have they done?" Professor Flitwick asked again.

"Knocked Hermione off Harry's broom, causing her to have... Erm what was it again?" Ron asked.

"Hermione's got a concussion and amnesia." Ginny said sounding really serious.

"Well you were only helping a friend so I guess I can let you off for now." Flitwick said.

"Are you sure professor?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, I'm quite sure. Now the four of you please go back to your Common Room. It's after curfew." Flitwick said and watched Ron and the girls run off to their Common Room.

"Ron, what about Harry!" Stephanie shouted.

"Oh yeah! Come on!" Ron answered and led the girls back up to the third floor corridors.

When they reached the spot where Harry lay just a moment ago, they found that he was missing.

"He couldn't get up and walk away, could he?" Ginny asked shakily.

"Not if he attempted suicide I don't think, any way." Sophie answered.

"He did get up and walk away." Ron said. "If I remember, he started moving a little after you had gone to the Slytherin Common Room."

"This is getting creepy." Stephanie said, shakily.

"You're telling me!" Ron agreed, and looked into the crystal clear depths of her blue eyes.

"Oh, boy! Come on, let's leave Bagnall and Weasley to flirt with each other." Ginny whispered.

"Yeah." Sophie whispered back and both girls silently walked away, leaving Ron and Stephanie alone.

"S- Stephanie, I-" Ron started, but Stephanie put a finger to his lips and said,

"I know, Ron. And I love you too." With that, she kissed him on the lips.

"Miss Bagnall, Mr Weasley." A stern voice said from above the young couple.

Startled, Ron broke away from Stephanie.

"Professor McGonagall." Stephanie gasped.

"Yes, Miss Bagnall. If you two do not want a detention, then I suggest you get back to your Common Room." Professor McGonagall said sternly.

Stephanie and Ron ran back to the Gryffindor Common Room, embarrassed.

In the Gryffindor Common Room

"Harry! Thank God you're ok!" Sophie gasped. She ran up to Harry and hugged him.

"WHAT THE HELL POSESSED YOU TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE!!!!????" Ginny screamed.

Tears stung Harry's eyes as he let go of Sophie.

"YOU SHOULD KNOW!" Harry shouted and he ran up to the dormitories. And instead of going in his own dormitory, he went into the girls' dorms and tip-toed to Hermione's bed and lay down inside it.

"Why Hermione? Why my Mione?" Harry whispered. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he fell into an uneasy sleep.

The next morning, Harry felt a pair of arms holding him from behind. He turned over and he felt his heart skip a beat or two.

Hermione was lying next to him fast asleep. Harry brushed a few strands of hair from her face and saw her twitch slightly. She opened her eyes and looked at Harry.

"H-harry?" Hermione asked, barely above a whisper.

Harry held Hermione tight and sobbed into her shoulder.

"I love you so much! I'm never going to leave your side again. Never!" Was all Harry managed to say before he lifted her head towards him and kissed her passionately. Hermione kissed him back and then she pulled away.

"You're- you're not my Harry." Hermione whispered. "And who's Hermione? Where am I? Who am I?"

"You are Hermione. And you're in the Gryffindor Girls' dormitories." Harry said, looking worriedly into Hermione's eyes.

Images of the past year ran through Hermione's mind.

After a while, Hermione fell to the floor and broke down into tears.
