Harry and Hermione slowly descended down the stairs. They could hear the happy chatter from the people down below. As soon as the two came into view the room went silent. Ron and Remus instantly greeted the two at the bottom of the stairs.

"Come join us," Remus said smiling. "They know not to ask too many questions, everything will be fine,"

"Mum cried," Ron whispered, "So did Dad. I think I even saw a tear from Fred and George. Everyone is happy you are back mate," he said smiling and slapping his friend on his back.

"Oh!" they all heard Molly chirp in delight. "It's really him. Look Arthur! He's really back. We have our Harry back!" she said as Author pulled her into his arms as she cried.

"That's Mrs. Weasley right?" he whispered into Hermione's ear as they took their place at the table.

"Right. Mr. Weasely is next to him,"

"Ginny's in the wheelchair, Fred and George are across from her. Dumbledore is the guy with the beard, McGonagall is next to him," he said giving each person a smile he named them. "Snape is the bloke glaring at me. Then the blond guy...," Harry said and squinting at him. He recognized him. He figured they went to school together as he looked the same age as him. He saw Draco smirk at him, and he remembered. Harry jumped from the table causing his chair to fall to the ground with a loud clatter.

"You!" he yelled pointing at the former Slytherin. "You!" was all he could manage to say. Anger had taken over him.

Draco stood up as well. "You got something to say Potter?" he spat out.

"You... Why is he here? Why?" he yelled looking around the room. "Why you bring him here?"

"What are going on about Potter? I am a guest here. I was invited by my girlfriend,"

"I don't bloody care if the Pope himself invited you. You are not welcome here!"

"Harry," Hermione said who was now at his side. "It's okay. He is our friend now,"

"How could you say that?! After everything he did to you!" He said looking at the blonde again. "The things he called you, the way he treated Ron, the... " Harry said as another memory hit him. "Merlin!" He said running his hands through his hair. "He was the one who tried to take you!" he yelled and began moving towards Draco. "The Halloween Ball.... He.... dancing..... fighting with students...... Ron...," he said looking at his friend hoping the would understand his babbling. "You helped me.... we stopped him,"

"That wasn't me Potter!" Draco said taking a few steps back.

"Yes. It. Was," Harry said as his anger came to an all time high. "You tried to take her to Voldemort. You tried to take her away from me and hurt her!" he yelled at the blonde.

"Harry, stop this right now!" Dumbledore, Remus, and Hermione yelled in unison.

"That may be how it looks in your mind, but it isn't true," Hermione said trying to pull him away from Draco. "It was someone else, he just looked like Draco,"

"Don't try to defend him Hermione!" he said glaring at Draco.

"Listen to her," Ron said. "Everything you have remembered is true, but it wasn't Draco! It was my brother," he said feelings all the pain return. "He and a few other students took Draco and used a potion to take his identity. Then he tried to take Hermione away form us, but it didn't work. Hermione saw through it,"

Harry's eyes went to Fred and George.

"Not us!" Fred said

"It was our stupid prat of a brother Percy," George added

"He was helping Voldemort," Ginny said quietly. "He..,"

"Don't," Ron said to Ginny. "He is not worth us talking about. He is no longer a part of our family," he said glancing at his mum and dad who were silent. They no longer talked about their other son. "Percy was power hungry and would do anything to get what he wanted,"

Harry looked at the red heads in the room. He could see the hurt on their faces. He felt Hermione wrap her small hand around his and give it a small squeeze. His eyes fell on Draco again. He was kneeling down next to Ginny and talking softly to her. He looked up Harry, their eyes locked for a moment then he went back to Ginny. When Draco looked back at Ginny, Harry remembered the rest of the night. He remembered Percy's words, and half of the school leaving that night. When he remembered how Percy looked, he felt a sense of panic washed over him.

"Sorry," he muttered. "Maybe you were right Hermione, I shouldn't have come to dinner. I'm just going to go back upstairs," he said releasing Hermione's hand and slowly made his way back upstairs. "This was a bad idea. I am sorry for all the trouble I've caused,"

"You will not be going anywhere Mr. Potter," McGonagall said sternly. "We are here to celebrate the new life Remus and Elizabeth are starting, as well as you coming back into our lives. We will not let this little incident stop us from having a nice meal," she said in her stern teacher voice.. "Now, sit back down!"

Harry stared at the women for a second before moving back over to his side of the table. He silently picked up his chair and sat back down.

Harry spent the rest of night listening to the others talk about Remus and Elizabeth's relationship, as well as what everyone had been up to in the last few months. After dinner and dessert and the guests slowly began to leave. Harry muttered good byes to all before retreating back to his room. His head was still throbbing from the memory gain. He laid down on his bed and stared up at the ceiling. After what felt like hours in his room he heard a soft knock followed by the door opening and closing. He knew it was Hermione. He didn't turn to look at her as she crossed the room and sat at the edge of his bed. He still didn't look at her when she lay down on the bed next to him.

"It wasn't that bad," Hermione said softly and placed a tattered book on the night stand.

"I made a complete arse out of myself,"

"No you didn't," she said. "Your memory just played a trick on you. Something in your life are very deceiving. There may be a few other times where it looks like one person, but really it is someone else,"

"I hate this," he said pounding one of his fist on the bed. "Everything I have remember has been horrible. Is my whole life like that? Is everything bad?"

"It's not all bad," she said closing her eyes tightly.

Harry could tell by the tone of her voice she was hurt by that comment. "Where you the only good thing in my life?" he asked hoping it would make her feel better.

"Those people who where down stairs where a good part in your life too. They all care so much about you," she said scooting closer to him. "The Weasley's showed you how a real family acts. The teachers at school praised you when it was deserved, but also let gave you the discipline you needed. I think you considered Dumbledore and McGonagall as your grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, my mum and Remus where your parents, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie where your siblings," she said resting her head on his shoulder. She felt Harry's muscles tighten slightly, but quickly relaxed. "I think Snape would of been your uncle, and Moody; even thou he's not around anymore," she said and Harry wrapped a arm around her and pulled her close to his body. "Hagrid was your first friend, even if he is not here anymore, I know you still hold him close to your heart," she as she link her hand with his. "All these people love you so much Harry. You are lucky to have some many people care for you,"

"How can you be so sure about all of that?" he asked and rested his head on the top of hers.

"I know you Harry," she said softly. "Back in school I knew you better than you knew yourself,"

"I'm not the same person I was back in school. A lot happen to me when I was gone,"

"I know that Harry," she said and carefully grabbed the book. "I am not the same person I was back in school. Everyone changes," she said and opend the old book carefully.

"What is that?"

Hermione smiled. "Hogwarts: A History,"

"Your favorite," Harry said running his hand down the page. "You use to hound Ron and I about reading it. You got so tired of telling us to read it that you read it to me,"

Hermione's heart warmed when he said that. "That's right. If you don't mind I'd like to read some to you. I was thinking that after mum and Remus go on their honeymoon we would take a trip to Hogwarts. Maybe spend a night there, then go toThe Burrow, then to Godric's Hallow,"

"That sounds fine," he said and closed his eyes. "Can you read to me now Mione?"

Hermione heart jumped into her throat. "I've been dying to hear you call me that for so long," she said and leaned and gently placed her lips on his. She pulled away quickly when she felt him tense up. "Sorry," she muttered.

"It's okay," he said. "I wasn't expecting that,"

"I didn't mean to. I won't do it again,"

"It's okay Mione," he said running a hand through her hair. "I'm just not ready for that yet, but I will let you know when. I just need some more time,"

"Maybe I should just go," she said and began to crawl out of the bed.

"No," Harry said and grabbed her wrist. "Can you stay until I fall asleep? I haven't been able to sleep well in such a long time. Maybe if someone was here I could,"

"You've never been able to sleep well," she sand and snuggled back into the bed next to him and began to read the all to familiar words.

Harry awoke the net morning feeling refreshed. He reached up and stretched his arms, only one would not move. He turned over to see the most beautiful thing he had ever laid his eyes on. Hermione sleeping. She had a slight smile playing around her rosy lips, her hair was bushier than usual, her close where slightly rumpled, and a book laid across her small body. Harry couldn't help but smile. 'Merlin she's beautiful' he said to himself. 'How could I have ever forgotten her?'

Hermione stirred in her sleep and her smile grew wider. She was slowly beginning to awake, and in the best possible way. The voice of Harry. Hermione fluttered her eyes open to meet Harry's eyes. She looked around slightly confused for a moment before she remember last night. She had fallen asleep last night reading to Harry.

"Morning," Harry said and brushed a stray hair away from her face.

Hermione smiled. "Morning," she said and began to stretch her slender body. "How did you sleep?"

Harry smiled back at her and watched her body move as she stretched. "Wonderfully. Thank you,"

"I will have to thank you as well," she said sitting up in the bed.

"For what?" he asked and mimicked Hermione action of stretching and then sitting up in bed.

"I haven't slept that good since we where back in school. In our last year we where allowed to share a bed because we could comfort each other with our dreams,"

"Voldemort," Harry whispered. "We had dreams about him, or he fed us dreams. It was me for a long time, but then he went to you,"

"That's right," she said and linked her hand with his.

"You also had dreams about your father," he said looking at her. The memory of the night they all found our Hermione's father had be murdered by a death eater. "Oh Mione. I am so sorry," he said a pulled her to him.

A few tears fell from Hermione eyes. "It's okay," she said softly. "I still miss him, but I know he is up with your parents watching over me. I will see him again someday, as you will see your parents again too,"

"Harry are you up yet? Do you know where Hermione is? She isn't in her room," Elizabeth said walking into Harry's room. She smiled when she saw the two holding each other, but once she saw the tears she was instantly concerned. "Hermione, dear what's wrong?" she asked and moved over to the bed.

"Nothing mum," she said as Harry wiped a few tears from her face. "Harry just remembered about Dad,"

"Oh baby," she said and placed and hand on her daughters shoulder. "I know today is going to be hard for you, but you know I still love your father very much,"

"I know mum. You know I am okay with your marrying Remus, I just get emotional when Harry remembers anything,"

Elizabeth smiled. "I see," she said and stood up from the bed. "I hate to do this, but we all need to get ready. The wedding is in a few hours. Hermione you have to come with me to the Burrow to get ready, and Harry Remus is down the hall waiting for you, Ron is too,"

"Okay mum. I'll be down in a minute, then we can use floo to go over there,"

"Oh you know I hate that stuff,"

"Me too," Harry said quietly.

Hermione and Elizabeth looked over with wide smiled on their face. "You could never land properly when you used it,"

"Or end up where I was supposed to," he said rubbing his temples. "The first time I use floo I ended up Knock turn alley, if it wasn't for Hagrid I would of been lost down there forever," he said with a smile. "Then we found you, you fixed my glasses for me and we went into a book store," he said taking off his glasses and looking at them. "That is when we all met Lockhart," He said and began to laugh.

"It is not funny Harry," Hermione said trying to hold back her laughter.

"Lockhart?" Elizabeth asked

"Yes," Harry said letting the laughter take over. "Mione had the hugest crush on him our second year,"

"I wasn't that bad,"

"Yes you were!" Harry said. "You practically followed him around the castle drooling, when you where in the library,"

"Merlin I did!" Hermione said laughing.

"What's going on in here?" Remus asked from the doorway.

"Ahh!" Elizabeth yelled and threw herself on the floor. "We can't see each other until the ceremony!"

"Muggles," Remus muttered and closed the door. "Come on Harry. Ron needs help getting ready. He's more nervous than I am,"

"I'm coming,' he said and helped Elizabeth up from the floor. "I'll see you two later," he said and placed an soft kiss on Hermione's check.

Hermione starred at Harry while he left. Her hand involuntary went up to her face.

"Oh!" Elizabeth said and pulled her daughter into a hug. "He's coming around. I couldn't believe what I saw when I came in here. He usually jumps out of his skin when someone touches him,"

"I know," Hermione said still starring at the door. "He called me Mione or the first time again last night. I got so excited and kissed him. He got all tense and asked me not to do that again until he was ready," she said as the two women stood up from the bed and made their way downstairs. "Something bad happened to him mum. I don't know what, but I know it was bad,"

"I got the same feeling dear," Elizabeth said and wrapped her arms around her daughter, "but everything will be just fine, we just have to be patient,"

"I know mum. Patient is my new middle name," she said with a smile. "The pendants are starting to work too. I heard him say something the morning and last night before dinner,"

"What did he say?"

"Last night he said: 'Her eyes' and this morning he said: Merlin she's beautiful, how could I have ever forgotten her," Hermione said beaming at her mum. "He's coming back to me,"

"Oh! This is going to be such a wonderful day dear! I can just fell it. The wedding is going to help him remember more. I can feel it in my old bones."

"Mum you are not old!" Hermione said as she pulled her mum into the fireplace with her and yelled "The Burrow!"
