It was time to get a grip of himself. Hermione wasn't going to come back no matter how much that night haunted him. It had been week since he saw the girl that looked like Hermione walked. Maybe he was dreaming? But then again it was so real. Draco had decided to pull himself together and look like a real man instead of a beggar.
He trudged to Wolfram's Robe shop to get some new clothes. As he walked in the bushy headed figure stood there. His heart was racing and as she lifted her head up, his brain gasped. It looked exactly like her, the same familiar big chocolate colored doe eyes, the elegant features and perfect bow lips. The girl said, "How may I help you today?"
Draco unable to control himself said, "Hermione?" The girl looked at him strangely. "How did you know my name?" said Hermione. Draco gaped at her with disbelief and he said loudly, "IT'S ME! DRACO! DON'T YOU REMEMBER?" Hermione stood there bewildered. Draco was so frustrated he started walking towards her saying what sounded like gibberish to her. "You're alive! But I thought you died!" He cornered her as he talked, "How life? What has been happening?" Hermione was starting to get scared now. "Sir, please let me go." Draco got infatuated and started shaking her! "It's me!" he screamed. He shook her so hard that she started crying. By then Draco suddenly stopped. What on earth was he doing? She had clearly lost her memories, he thought. His throat went dry and with one last glance he ran out.
Hermione stood there in disbelief. The strange man, Draco, had just said he knew her but that was impossible. Her "supposedly" big brother said she was from the US not from Britain. As she sat there and thought, the blonde hair guy seemed so familiar to her. Like she knew him and she wondered what her family told her had all been a lie. She reached for her handbag and coat to chase after him.
A strong hand had grasped her and she turned around. Her brother, Ron, stared at her hollowly and said, "Don't dare you go out!" She let her bag drop to the floor and looked at the direction Draco left. She was so confused. Meanwhile the Weasly family and Harry stood behind her and started whispering.
"What are we going to do? She'll find out sooner or later."
"We must keep her inside at all times."
"How can we? We already saw the look on her face when he walked in."
"What are we going to do now?"
There was silence for a moment until:
"We'll have to get rid of him," said Ginny.
They all stared each other and nodded.
What they didn't know was that Hermione overheard and was already gone.
