A Few Explanations...

Hermione is going to be little for a while, but I can't make it for Halloween, even though I wanted her to wear her costume, so the Ball is going to be cancelled in the chapter, so the Spring Fling will be a costume masquerade. Hermione will probably turn back a few days before her ((my)) birthday, April 11th, so Draco can get her a present and such, and the Spring Fling is at the End of April.

So, I say that's perfect. I'm so glad, I got like 13 reviews last chapter, I wanna cry! So, this is going to probably be unusually long for this story, and very descriptive. Last chapter Crystal Ball says Pansy and Hermione are going to patch up, because Draco needs a friend, and Blaise has been a little hooked up with him mistreating Hermione. Don't worry, I promise next chapter, Draco will be normal.

I realize since Hermione's been little, almost every two chapter's has a Hogsmeade trip so this one is too.

But, I've learned, that when someone has amnesia, they need something traumatic to happen to someone they care about to remember properly. So, it's obviously Hermione, but what should happen? Give me some ideas... Well, here's the pensieve...


Helping Her's Pensieve...

"Going with Blaise?" She asked.

"How'd you know?"

"You've been staring at him all morning, and at lunch. He got a little pissed, though." Hermione said, sitting next to Ginny.

"How do I tell Ron?" Ginny asked her.

"Just, tell him. Say 'Ron, I'm going to the ball with Blaise Zabini.' Mind you, not on the top of a hill, but somewhere near pillows." Hermione suggested.

"You're right." Ginny walked back down the stairs.

"Ginny? You're going with--" Ron couldn't even finished his sentence. Dean had just told him.

"Yes! Alright, yes! My date to the Ball is Blaise Zabini!" She yelled, and everyone was quiet.

"Now, leave me the hell alone!" And everyone left her alone.


Thankies to Sabrina ((DarkReader)) for betaing!

Krysta.


Chapter 11: Delicious Kisses, Presents, and a Not So Happy Reunion...

Warning: Lots of delicious BlaiseGinny moments, and BlaisePansyGinny humor. This chapter is Eight and 1/4 pages long! Be happy with it, now! Lol...

Hermione laughed.

"Ginny, I think you need some air." Hermione said, settling down in the empty common room. A ball of tumbleweed passed through. Okay...

"Yes, air, great, Hermione, bye!" Ginny was gone, and Hermione was confused, Sighing, Hermione walked out of the Common Room, and up to the Owlery, to send off a letter, an apology letter, to someone in particular.


"Air, walls, torches, great, walking, fun, ball, Blaise!" Ginny said, crashing into the Slytherin.

"You seem to have a radar on me, Ginny." He said laughing, pulling the 'utterly disoriented' girl up from the floor.

"So, do your housemates know that we're going to the ball together?"

"Yeah. They don't care." Blaise hands were in his pockets.

"Professor Dumbledore set another Hogsmeade Trip today." Ginny told him.

"I've got a date, already." Blaise told her. She looked a little downcast.

"Lessee, Ginger, Golly, Ginny!" She smiled and smacked him, for scaring her.

"That wasn't funny..." She said. They ended up in front of the Grounds.

"So, why aren't you in the Common Room?" Blaise asked her. Ginny rubbed her temples.

"Stupid Dean, he asked me to the ball, and I told him that I was going with you, and I told him..." Ginny blushed.


"But I like you Ginny! How could you go with him?"

"Because, Dean, I like him, alright!"


He stopped.

"You told him what?"

"That, I didn't like him!" She quickly lied. Blaise chuckled, but she was a little nervous if he could tell that she wasn't telling the truth.

"Well, I ended up screaming at the whole entirety of the Gryffindor Common Room, that I was going to the Ball with you and to leave me alone. So, naturally everyone left. Except Hermione." Ginny knew talking about Hermione would be a soft thing for Blaise, but he was sure that she'd be back to normal.

He was quiet. 'Oh no,' she thought frantically, 'Maybe I made him angry.' She looked up at him, and to her surprise, he reached for her hand, and held it. She felt herself go red.

She must have been still looking at him, because they had stopped and he was shooting her a weird look.

"Oh, sorry." She said, turning her head to him.

"What?" She asked. He smiled.

"You looked so, childish." She pouted, but he was still smiling.

"Come off it, I meant it in a good way." And he leant over, and kissed her. Again. For the second time. He pulled back, his eyes twinkling.

"I like you, Ginny. A lot." She blushed, and looked up at him.

"I like you too, Blaise." And just when she was about to kiss him again...


"Zabini! Ginny! What in the bloody hell is going on here?" Harry yelled, while marching with Ron over to the two.

"Get your dirty hands off my sister, you filthy Slytherin!" ((Hee hee, Ron just used two words with the same meaning in one sentence. Ha.))

"Ron! Harry! I told you, I liked him, alright!" Ginny yelled at the two, while Blaise just watched.

"Ginny, he's just a bloody Slytherin, who's older than you, might I add! What makes you think you know his intentions?"

Ginny looked unstable. "You know what Ron? I know he's a Slytherin, and I know he's older than me. I may not know if he really means what he says to me, and I may not know if this is right. But it's what I want. I don't stop you from pursuing relationships, I just wish you'd stop doing it to me! I like him, and you can't change my opinion!" Ginny said, storming up to the castle. Blaise jogged after her.

"Ginny! Ginny, slow down!" He finally caught her.


"Ginny..." He turned her around, and before he could even clearly see her, she launched into his arms.

"Blaise, I'm sorry, it's just really annoying to hear them talk about someone I care about like that... And I meant all of it, Blaise. I really did..." He put two fingers underneath her chin, and tilted her head up. His fingers were laced in her thick red locks as he looked at her.

"Ginny, I know you meant it. I do care about you, though. I really do." And everything else was blown out the window, as he kissed her. Ginny's heart was soaring. All the other kisses she had ever experienced had flown out the window. It was soft and sweet. She could practically feel what Blaise was feeling, and she felt so happy with it.

Pulling away from the kiss, Ginny's arms returned around him, and he held her, in the middle of the hallway.


Hermione was on the windowsill, writing on a piece of parchment.

Meet me in the Owlery. I need to talk to you.

-Hermione.

She sent it off with the sleek black owl Harry said was hers, named Rex.

Sitting and waiting, Hermione chewed on her lip as she heard people walk past the Owlery, till one in particular walked in. The doors were practically flung open as someone entered frantically.

"Hermione?" Pansy asked, not believing that the girl had spoken to her.

Hermione hugged her.

"Pansy, I'm sorry. I just thought it'd be easy if things were normal for Draco to get his memory back."

"He's not gonna get it back that way, thinking that he still hates you. He needs to see that one time he did have a fun time with you, and that he did care."

"And nothing is normal if you make it that way." Pansy told her.

"I'm not ready to go back to Blaise, yet. I'm still a little off about that." Hermione told her.

"That's alright, but in the meantime, let's have some fun!" Pansy took her hand, and rushed off.


They were walking towards the carriages when they saw Ginny and Blaise in the middle of the hallway. Pansy told Hermione to go on ahead, while she talked to them.

"Break it up! Stop plotting here, you two. Let me in on the secret." Pansy said, slinging her arms around the both of them.

Ginny laughed at the Slytherin girl.

"What? You think my attempts at a peaceful conversation are pitiful? Because, I heard some Gryffindors and a Slytherin got into a little spat today..." Pansy knew of course.

Blaise glared.

"Alright! I'll leave you lovers alone, then. Oh Blaise! I have to steal you, we have to get Draco a present."

"Why?" Blaise asked. SMACK! SMACK!

"Ow..." He moaned. Ginny and Pansy had just smacked him in the head.

"Major migraine..."

"Why wouldn't you get a friend a present?" Ginny scolded.

"You should be saying, 'Pansy! Why didn't we get Draco a present already!' Not, that!"

"But I'd still get slapped." Blaise told her.

"Exactly!" Ginny informed him.

"Ah, everything's going according to plan. Blaise is still clueless in the art of gift-giving, and he has someone to help him..."

"Test!" Pansy called. Ginny nodded.

"Blaise, what are you getting me for Halloween..." She asked him sweetly.

"A present?" Ginny smacked him and laughed.

"No! Nothing!" She said, giggling at him.

"I'm filing for abuse." Blaise complained.

"I'm filing for murder..." Ginny told him, and he shut up.


The Hogsmeade Trip was beautiful. Blaise hadn't got himself smacked for a whole three hours, till he said that 'Baby blue was definitely not Pansy's color.' and got a nasty kick to the shin. They had gotten Draco a book to read about the Ireland team, and their seeker. Pansy had included some sweets from Honeydukes in the packages, such as lollipops, Sherbet Balls, Bernie Botts' Every Flavored Beans, and some chocolate milk duds. They wrapped it in green and silver, and sent it up to the Hospital Wing through an owl.

Pansy departed, saying she was going to see if Draco liked his present, leaving Blaise and Ginny alone.

Blaise and Ginny were on their way to Dinner, when they heard a scream, followed by footsteps.


They turned a corner, to see Pansy running towards them.

"Guys, it's Hermione. She's had a Hospital Wing accident. She was in the Wing with Madam Pomfrey and--" Another scream interrupted them.

"Just, come on!" She said, rushing off to the Hospital Wing, where a deadly sight awaited them. Blaise was nervous to see what had happened, as Ginny seemed a little nerve wrecked muttering to herself.

"Ginny, it'll be alright. I'm sure Hermione is...oh." They had gotten to the Hospital Wing, to see a distressed lookin Pomfrey.

"She won't wake up." Were the only words she said, as she let them in.


Krysta's Notes: Just in case you were wondering, the other stories are on another penname. l-Lady Karyn-ll-Lady Krysta-l. Draco will be normal in the next chappy! YaY!

Helping Her's Crystal Ball

"Hermione..." Draco sighed in a distressed manner.

"It's okay, Draco. She's fine. It's going to be alright." Blaise assured his friend, who was leaning at her bedside.

"No, it was my fault, and she doesn't even know that I'm back to normal... Blaise, what about all the horrible thing I said to her?"

"It's really okay, Draco." Ginny said. "She'll forgive you, as long as your normal again."

"But, I called her so many bad names, I don't even know how I could make it up to her."

"Really, Draco. It's going to--" Draco cut Pansy off.

"No. I don't even think I should be near her right now." Draco said, leaving the Hospital Wing. Everyone was soundless for a moment, until a feeble voice spoke.

"Draco..." Hermione said softly, sitting herself up.

Elections:

Again, what should the scene of Hermione in the Hospital Wing be?

Either,

A. Hermione tries to retrieve Draco's package's, but falls out the window. She's rescued, but falls unconscious.

B. Hermione has knocked over the potions cart and gotten injected with a needle full of poison. If so, she'll be normal after a few minutes of antidote.

C. Hermione is mixing two potions together, as instructed by Madam Pomfrey, but she adds a wee bit too much, and is knocked unconscious.

or

D. You make up one!
