Motherly Amnesia

Chapter Nine

Authors Note: As one very kind reviewer has pointed out, Flashbacks are usually triggered by a stimulation of the senses. Now as to keep my story slightly realistic, sadly Hogwarts isn't seen by many as realistic, the Flashback has ended for now and we are transported back to the present. The present is where Hermione IS married to Severus; as well she is twenty five years old and pregnant. All of the recognizable details and characters belong to J.K. Rowling and Co. Thank you for reading this everyone! Now, onward to the story.

NOW-

Hermione's voice faded away as the clarity slowly disappeared from her mind. She turned to the doctor and said, "That's all I remember..," clearly distraught by the sudden end. The night was slowly greeting the grounds of Saint Mungo's and she was wheeled back into the hospital. Reaching the room she was greeted by a figure in the window, her husband, as she entered she smiled at him with a slight bit of uneasiness lurking in the depths of her eyes.

Instead of greeting him, Hermione slowly strode towards Severus and slowly lifted her hand to cup his cheek. With a light caress against his soft skin she looked into his obsidian eyes and relishing in the memories for which they held. Memories which had suddenly hit her in the face today as well as the knowledge and feelings of more to come. Slowly Severus turned his head and resulted in having her palm brush over his lips. There he placed a lingering kiss, a sweet echo of truth and love.

Seeing the apparent sparkle radiating from her, Severus smiled and asked, "What has happened Hermione?"

"Severus, I remembered…I remembered until before my twenty-second birthday! Isn't that wonderful, the smell outside reminded me of the Hogwart's grounds and the wild flowers that grow in our secret section near the Astronomy Tower." With a smile that could brighten his world, Hermione remarked, "Severus, I remember my feelings for you back then and…well they can only be deeper now, it's a wonderful thing,"

"Wonderful dear, Wonderful," Severus declared as he placed a chaste kiss upon her lips. The sweetness overwhelmed him and instead he went back to her lips and she slowly responded ardently back. The smell of Cinnamon and Apples came to his nose as he slowly tore his lips from hers and placed his face into the crook of her shoulder. He enveloped her in his arms and Hermione felt warm and secure once more. Linking their fingers, they both walked over to the window overlooking the night. The stars sparkled in their own light, each different but all together their splendor and beauty wow-ed the two onlookers as well as most of the modern world.

Suddenly remembering, Severus cursed to himself, "Hermione, I completely forgot that I had brought you some things. Some books really, I thought you would enjoy them once more." With a smile he took two small items and with an "Engorgio" she saw two leather bound books secured in his hands. With a smile she lifted the books and read aloud, "Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin and Moste Potent Potions, wonderful. Thank you, Severus." She hugged him once more, careful of her stomach, as they once more drew into a loving kiss; her stomach began to glow. A warm yellow light shimmered over her stomach and enclosed the couple in a world of their own.

That morning, Hermione was awakened by a sudden stampede of footsteps running towards her door. With a look of alarm she stared at the door, the door swung open only to reveal…
