Chapter 14: Finally Getting It Back Hurts
Hermione finally got her memories back. But guess what she found out about herself.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything here… just the plot…
After a few moments, Harry got the Prince's potion book and presented it to Hermione in the Common Room. Hermione opened the book and browsed through it.
"Here." She said to Harry. "To restore a memory: Evoquer Lepasse"
"Are you sure you want to do this, Hermione?" Harry asked.
Hermione answered. "Yes, Harry."
Harry raised his wand. "Evoquer Lepasse."
Hermione screamed. Then, she fainted. "Hermione!" Harry said. Harry held her tight. After a few minutes, she woke up.
"Harry?" she said. "What happened?"
"You asked to perform this spell in the Prince's book. Remember?" Harry asked.
Hermione nodded. "Everything came bask so fast. Now I remember how I got amnesia, how we fought Voldemort together…" Hermione hugged him tight. "Thank you so much Harry." Suddenly, she fainted again.
A week later, she woke up in the Hospital Wing. Harry was sleeping beside her bed.
"Why am I here?" she asked. "Harry, wake up."
Harry opened his eyes. "Uhm… Hermione!" He hugged her tight.
"Harry," Hermione asked. "Why am I here? What happened?"
"Do you remember everything, everything that happened before?" Harry asked.
"Of course, Harry. But I can't seem to recall why I ended up here." Hermione exclaimed.
"You… don't remember that you had amnesia?" Harry stammered.
"I had amnesia? I can't recall any event that I had amnesia." Hermione said.
"Oh, no…" Harry said.
Then, Dumbledore entered. "May I excuse Harry for a moment?"
Hermione nodded. Harry left the room. Dumbledore and Harry stayed outside the corridor.
"Hermione lost her memories about her amnesia." Harry said. "It's my entire fault…"
"No, Harry. Hermione didn't lose anything because she was pretending that she lost her memories about her amnesia." Dumbledore explained.
"Why would she do that?" Harry asked. "And how did you know that?"
"She did that because she simply wants to forget. I knew that because, if I was in her shoes, I would also want to forget everything happened when I was like a blank canvas. So, Harry, I ask you to ride on with her."
Harry nodded. "Yes, Professor." Dumbledore nodded and left.
Harry entered the room again. "So, Hermione, are you ready to go back to the Common Room?"
Hermione smiled and nodded.
Everything went back to normal when Hermione got all of her memories back. Nobody asked how or when or who did it. All they cared about was that Hermione's back. They were back on being a trio – Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Hermione forgot of Harry's and Draco's proposals so they were just friends; in Draco's case, enemies.
Hermione and Ginny are still friends. Since Hermione forgot about the garden scene, Ginny never opened the subject. Ginny felt like she was lying to Hermione but Harry advised her not to.
Draco never got near Hermione. Harry was always at her side no matter what. Draco finally gave up and let Hermione and Harry be.
Ron, however, just stayed as friends with Hermione. He reasoned out that he found someone who loves him, namely Lavander Brown. Hermione just nodded and let Ron live.
Harry gave Hermione with flowers everyday. Hermione would always say thank you. She would smile at him sweetly. Sometimes, she would hug him. Hermione loved him for that.
But… what they don't know is that Hermione's crying every night on her bed… Suffering from all of the painful memories during her amnesia… because she found out something about herself – she loved Draco.
She didn't tell this to anyone – especially not Ginny because she was the girl Draco was kissing on the lake. She didn't tell this to Harry because it will break his heart. So she decided to keep it all to herself.
