Loyalty

Part 24- Common Room Woe's

Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter or anything that has to do with him…

A/N- Hey everybody… I sort of have a feeling that not very many people are reading this story anymore… Has it gotten that bad? I've only gotten like 4 reviews in all from the last 2 chapters. I know the last one wasn't very long, but at least I posted… well, here's the next chapter.

Last Time on Loyalty

"WHAT! 3 MONTHS! That's too long!"

"I'm sorry Mr. Potter. That is just how it is. So I suggest you start helping Miss Granger get comfortable with classes."

"But…"

"Goodbye Harry."

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

To put it simply, Harry couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned all night long, trying new positions, even seeing if Ron's bed was more comfy, but he soon realized it was pointless and made his way down to the Common Room. At 2:00 in the morning, he expected no one to be down there, but as his bare feet touched the cold floor at the bottom of the stairs, he saw Hermione. Sitting in front of the fire, tears in her eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Harry asked, sitting down next to her.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"What do you mean?"

Hermione laughed. "I just woke up loosing the last 6 years of my life, found out I have a really hot boyfriend, have all these friends I have never seen before, and, oh yeah, I can do magic."

"Well, yeah. I guess that would make me cry to." He chuckled.

"So… it's really going to take me 3 months to get my memory back?"

"I guess that's what it looks like. Unless we can find something else, but I doubt it."

Harry turned from the fire and stared into her eyes. 'God I want to kiss her so bad…'

"This must be hard for you too." Hermione said, breaking his gaze. "I mean, me not knowing who you are and everything."

"I'm doing okay." Harry lied, "I'm just glad you're here and well, not buried underneath ruble."

"How come a wall fell down? Doesn't that seem sort of… weird?"

"Yeah it does, and I can't figure out why it's happening. I know this is an old school, but it's magic. It shouldn't be falling apart."

"It's happened before?"

"Uh huh. This is the 2nd one."

"Oh… hey, what happened to Ron? Why is he in the Hospital Wing?"

'Crap… I don't know what to tell her… does she know who Voldemort is?'

Hermione, noticing the array of emotions crossing Harry's face, raised her eyebrows. "You don't have to tell me. If it's, painful or something…"

"Do you know who Voldemort is?''

She shook at the name, telling Harry she obviously did. "Y-you say his name?"

"Yeah I…"

"Wait a minute…" Hermione said, realization creeping onto her face. "The Headmaster called you Mr. Potter… you're… no, you can't be. You're Harry Potter?"

"In the flesh."

"H-how did I become friends with you? How did I become your girlfriend?"

"Well uh… a mountain troll attacked you. And Ron and me came to your rescue. You became my girlfriend when I told you I loved you."

"A mountain troll? What?"

"Uh… when we first met you, Ron didn't like you. Pretty much because you were smarter than him." Harry laughed. "And one day, he said something mean to you as you passed by. So you ran into the girl's bathroom and cried. During dinner, which you did not attend because you were in the bathroom, a troll somehow got into the school. When I heard that I realized that you could be in danger, so I grabbed Ron, and we came to your rescue. We've been friends ever since."

"W-wow…" Hermione said astonished. "Are you serious?"

"Dead serious."

"That's amazing…"

"No… it was pretty scary."

Hermione laughed, "So… back to my other question. How did my great friend Ron get into the hospital wing?"

"He was taken by Death Eaters. At your house actually."

"What!"

"We were there for Christmas when we were attacked."

"How did he get back?"

"You saved him."

"I-I did?" She asked with a sparkle in her eye.

"You came across him at Hogsmeade and fought the Death Eater that had him. If it wasn't for you he might still be missing… or dead."

"Wow… this is fun, hearing about my life…"

'It's not so fun in reality…' "Well… I just can't wait until you get your real memory back. No offence or anything… but I liked you better when we were snogging somewhere… especially the broom closet on the second floor… there is a lot of space in there."

"What?" Hermione asked, cheeks flushed.

'Oh my god… did I just say that out loud?' "Wow…" Harry said, face getting hot. "I totally didn't mean to say that to you… aloud…"

"It's ok. Really. I feel comfortable around you…"

"Well that's a relief." He laughed.

"Yeah… well, I uh… better get back to bed. There are classes in the morning right?"

"Classes… yeah."

"Goodnight Harry."

"G'night 'Mione."

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

A/N- OK… so I totally wanted to write more… but I have to go eat dinner… and it's like 3 in the morning… and I am going to be going to cheer camp soon so for about a week my chapters will be short… but hey.
