A/N: I have had writer's block for two days, but I finally got an idea for this Chapter. Hopefully it will be a long one and I hope you guys enjoy it. This Chapter will be in Parts. They will each have their own individual name also.

Chapter 11: Confused

Part I: Recovering Lost Memories

Draco stood in the same spot he had been standing in for the last twenty minutes. The only thoughts that were running through his mind were thoughts of the kiss tat he had just shared with Hermione. He had never felt weirder. The only thing that kept him sane was the thought of yelling at Pansy for lieing to him. she had told them that they were lovers, when he really didnt have any feelings for her at all. He had no idea what he was feeling right now, but he was almost certain that it was something that he would never have thought he would feel. He felt like he was in love with Hermione Granger.

Draco sat down on the damp stone floor of the castle and thought of what thier familys would say if they ever found out about their love for each other. And, most importantly, his love for a 'mudblood.'

She and I come from different worldas. She's a mudblood and I am a pureblood. My family would bloody flip if they knew that i have fallen in love with a bloody mudblood! What would her family say? Would they accept me? Would the man that Hermione called 'the man who raped me is my real father' accept me? What would he do if he found out that sghe told me about what he was doing ot her? WAIT! Where did that come from? Maybe it was an old mamory? Perhaps Hermione told me that before Potter hit me with that curse.

Out of no where, all the memories of Draco's past came flooding back to him like when a curse comes out of a wand. Everything that happened between him and Hermione came bhack and smacked him in the face like a hammer drives a nail into a wall. Then he knew why Hermione came to him with what she had said. She wanted him to be happy. But he now knew that the only way that he would be happy, would be with her. So he decided to go after her and win her back before she got too far away from him. So he ran to the only place that he knew she would go; the library. And that is exactly where he found her sitting with the Weaslette.

Part II: "No one will ever love you the way I do."

I'm soory, Draco. I'm so sorry. I never meant for this to happen. If I could take back what Harry did, I would. If I could go back in time to make sure that we never got together, I wouldn't. That is the one thing that I would not do. And the one reason is beacasue I would know and yu would not. I would know what we could have had together and you would not. And that would tear me up inside more than anything else in the world. Desptie all the things that I've been put through, if I could getrid of all of it, in exchange for giving you up, I wouldn't do it. I would never be able to forgive myself if I did. I will enever be able to forgive myself for what I just told you either. I'n so sorry, Draco. I know that I will never forgiive myself, but I hope you will.

Hermione was walking as the tears rooled down her cheeks and she knew that she would never be able to forgive herself dor what she had done, but she wanted what was best for Draco, even if that meant that she couldn't have him.

Before long, Hermione had to stop and sit down from the tears blurring her vision. She slid down the wall of the entrance to the dungeons and pulled her fett to her chest. She put her head in her knees and cried for half an hour before she decided that there was only one place that would calm her down; the library. And that was the one place where her friends would go to look for her. But that was what she wanted. She needed a shoulder to cry on. She wanted someone to share her feelings with. She knew that Harry and Ron would make Ginny come to look for her, andf that is exactly what they did.

Hermione turned when she heard the voice of her best girlfriend and she stood. She walked over to her and put her head into her shoulder and cried her eyes out. Ginny stood with her friend before she finally pulled her over to a chair and sat her down.

"What happened?"

"He. . .doesn't. . .care. . . . .he really. . . .doesn't care."

Hermione spoke only between sobs and made sure that she kept her voice quiet so that no one would be able to hear them.

"Hermione. . . . .he does care. He's just confused right now."

"Was."

From behind them, a voice came. It was the one voice that Hermione didn't want to hear. The one voice that Hermione wanted to forget. But it was still the one voice of the man she loved more than anyone else in the world. She turned and found her ex-lover staring at her.

Draco drew himself toward her. He stopped in front of her and knelt down on one knee. When he spoke, he said something that neither Ginny, nor Hermione were expecting.

"I got my memories back."

Hermione stared into his face. It took a while before she finally realized what he had said, but when she did, she said something that tore her heart open, but she knew it was the right thing to do.

"I'm sorry. No one will ever love you the way I do. Nor will they love you as much or more than I do, but I need some time to figure out what I really want. And I think you do too. I'm going to give you some space and I'm hoping that you will give me some too. I hope that you have a good year. I need some space and I hope to figure out what I was doing with you. Please try understand why I am doing this."

With that, she stood up, and walked out of the library, leaving Ginny and the one man that she will ever love with her heart and soul, spechless.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed it. I will put them together in the end, There will be a happy ending. You will ind out in the next chapter who the man is that is her real father and rapist.
