Motherly Amnesia Chapter Six

A/N: None of the Harry Potter characters or the background based storyline belongs to me. That's all in the possession of J.K. Rowling and Co.

Please excuse the lateness of my post; things have been going haywire, as well I've been trying to help my writing style flourish.

The sweet melody of notes enshrouded the garden as the flowers pushed up from the grounds spreading beauty to all. A peaceful tranquility is apparent as two figures approach the scene. A petite female pushed Hermione out around St. Mungo's south garden and towards the center fountain.

"Hermione, we are like this fountain, a holder of emotions, memories and knowledge to hold and disperse in our own unique way," the woman said as she flicked her finger into the water, "Your fountain is still full, you still feel and know. However, your memories have been stumped at a point."

Hermione looked at Dr. Alceriz in wonder, "So, is this why I feel for my husband still yet do not remember...ugh it's so frustrating. I don't know how to express myself!" She angrily spouted.

Dr. Alceriz took Hermione's hand, "Dear, I guess we should start at the beginning. Tell me of your childhood."

Hermione began "I was born on September the nineteenth to Aria and Michael Granger in rural London. When I was little, I always loved to learn everything I could. Each book had it's own wonder and with each page I was fuller and had a better understanding it was the best feeling in the world. Throughout muggle school I wasn't the most popular kid for I cared more for my studies then popularity and trends. When I was eleven I received a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This shocked my parents yet they eventually accepted it and I found an entire new world awaiting me past platform nine and three quarters. There I met Ron and Harry.........." She went on and on, smiling over the memories of each time. Laughing over the Polyjuice incident in her second year. Then suddenly she said, "I just remembered something!"

Dr. Alceriz smiled and waved her on, "After graduation, I received a present from an anonymous person. Inside was a letter, wishing to me all the happiness in the world and giving me a grant for college since my parents didn't have enough money to let me to go to the best wizardry schools after college. I was going to just apprentice at Hogwart's but because of that I went to Ahimsa Institution of Education and Further Knowledge for Today's Wizards in India. I lived with a wonderful girl there named Farrah, my roommate and together we studied to become future potion's mistresses. Oh, I wonder how Farrah is doing...anyway, one day I ran into a familiar figure on the streets, Professor Severus Snape. He was shocked at my presence and after a surprisingly fun chat we had lunch. I had so much fun that day, and he later called on me again."

"And then?" Dr. Alceriz inquired.

Hermione smiled, "We became friends and he attended my graduation with an invitation from Albus in hand, to become Hogwart's Potion's Mistress for Severus had finally received the Defense against the Dark Arts Position as well as a Mastery Against Dark Potions Advanced Class. Then, something happened...once I finally got to Hogwarts...

(FLASHBACK)

"Hermione!" A flying object whipped against her leg as Hermione Granger stepped into Hogwart's for the first time in four years, since graduation. Attached to her leg was little Zachary Potter, the two-year-old child of Luna and Harry Potter. She smiled down at him as Harry slowly strode towards her and pulled Hermione into his arms.

"Missed you Mione," Harry whispered.

Hermione swatted his lapel and laughed, "Missed you too Professor Potter, how are the Flying Classes going?"

Smiling Harry launched into a long lecture over the new studies and his news for the upcoming year. Out of the corner of her eye, Hermione saw Severus looking at her yet something in his eyes showed more then just boredom. There was a yearning in his eyes when he looked at her a longing, she blinked and the expression had seemed to disappear. She smiled over at him and rolled her eyes at Harry.

Harry watched the reaction between the two after a moment and stopped, "Snape, what spell do you have Hermione under?" He snapped in alarm, "I'll hurt you if you hurt her you pig!"

Hermione turned back to Harry and looked him in the eyes, flames leaping from her corneas, "Severus is my friend, Harry! Leave him alone." She turned back only to see the remnants of his robes billowing out the door. Frowning to herself she rushed after him only to find that he had disappeared.

A/N: Ahimsa is the belief of non-violence from Hinduism. Please Review so I can know if I should keep on. My muse needs them to live.
