A/N: Okay Ginny is back at home with her family. And now it's getting close to Christmas. Nothing eventful has happened since Ginny left. Just their normal classes.

Hey, when I'm done with this story, I'm thinking about doing a Ginny and Blaise one, to let you know what they're going through throughout this? What do you guys think?

--

Uneventful days, weeks and, eventually, months passed and everyday Draco would hope for some news of Blaise's recovery. But that never happened, Ginny did keep them updated though. She visited the hospital every two or three days, even though she wished it were more, and she sat by his beside just waiting for him to return to his normal self as he slipped in and out of consciousness.

Everytime he did this, he remembered fragments of his life. He remembered Draco, and his parents but still did not remember anything of his life and relationship with Ginny, who's belly was beginning to develop a small bump due to her growing baby.

One day, when Hermione was seated at the desk in her common room, revising her arithmancy work in preparation for her upcoming test when a familiar looking bird dropped a letter in front of her.

"Pig," she gasped, recognizing the Weasley's family owl.

Dear Hermione,

I am writing this letter to you from Blaise's bedside where he is asking me to find Draco! He is doing very well at the moment. The doctor says that whenever he slips out of consciousness and then regains it, he is remembering something new. He has remembered a few things, like Draco, but doesn't remember how we, Blaise and I, used to be. Or the baby.

When he is awake, we talk for hours. I try to fill him in on all I know about his life but I haven't the heart to tell him about us and our baby. I hope he remembers for himself. If he doesn't remember me from the past, I hope he can remember me from now and for the rest of his life.

Love, Ginny.

P.S – tell Draco that Blaise is expecting a visit from his best friend.

--

Hermione stopped what she was doing and went to find Draco. She knew that this was a piece of the news that he had been waiting for! Finally, after being in St. Mungo's for close to two months, he was beginning to remember his life.

--

Draco was sitting in the library, trying to devise a new Quidditch training program but everything was too much for him. The Slytherin team had suffered 2 great losses on his behalf as his heart just wasn't in his performance. Blaise was what had him distracted.

Draco had always considered himself a strong person, and not the type who would fall apart if someone from his life dramatically changed, like Blaise had.

'I was okay when mum died, and fine when Dad had his soul sucked out...'

And then he realised, Blaise was the only person ever in his life, aside from Hermione, who had ever genuinely showed that they cared about him. Blaise truly understood Draco and never judged him on what he did, who he was and where he came from. Infact, Blaise was the only person in this world that Draco could rely on, and right now Blaise didn't even know that Draco existed.

--

Hermione searched the castle high and low and did not find Draco. She eventually called on Harry for use of his 'Marauders Map' and located Draco in the –

"Library?" Hermione blurted out, causing several people in the Gryffindor common room to stop and stare at her. 'What would he be doing in the library?' she wondered to herself as the stares died down.

--

The two practically collided at the entrance to the library. Hermione was on her way in, whereas Draco was coming out.

"Oh, thank god! Draco, look!" Hermione held out the letter from Ginny.

Draco scanned the letter, not really interested in what it had to say... Until he came across a part that caught his eye.

'P.S – tell Draco that Blaise is expecting a visit from his best friend.'

He re-read that line at least 10 times in his mind before taking the letter from an obviously pleased Hermione and reading it thoroughly top to bottom.

"So does this mean?" he asked, knowing Hermione would know what he was getting at.

"Yep! He remembers you!" she said into Draco's ears as he wrapped his toned physique around her body in a tight embrace. Hermione loved seeing Draco happy again. The only time he ever showed any emotion that wasn't over a depressed or upset manner was when he was alone with her, and that wasn't good enough for Hermione.

She watched his appearance alter dramatically in the two months that Blaise had been in and out of comas. He had become a lot more paler, his face more pointed than ever before and he had lost a bit of weight from his perfect body. Even with his current physical appearance on a downer, he was still the best looking male at Hogwarts clearing Harry by miles. If Blaise were still at school he would be a top contender as well but no one could ever measure up to the chisselled good looks that Draco Malfoy had.

'I'm such a biased girlfriend,' Hermione thought to herself, chuckling.

Hermione and Draco awoke a week later, packed and ready to head to the train station. The two were going to spend Christmas with Hermione's family, then move onto Draco's newly-inherited mansion for some time alone. During their stay at the Malfoy Mannor, the two had plans to visit Blaise in hospital. In fact, that's the first place that they were headed after they settled into Hermione's house. She hoped her mother wouldn't mind them running off just after they had arrived.

She had already told her parents of their relationship in a letter. Hermione's mother wasn't surprised, she had noticed the sparks between the two just before school started. Hermione's father, on the other hand, couldn't believe that his daughter had taken up with someone that had teased her practically her whole schooling life. But he accepted it nonetheless.

If it made Hermione happy, Mr. Granger said that he would accept his daughters decision. Hermione personally thought that her dad was just saying this to be the 'protective-father' type and that once he got to know Draco, he would treat him like the son he never had.

--

Hermione ran to her parents the minute she saw them when she jumped off of the train. She always missed her parents and was always so excited to see them at the beginning of Christmas.

"Mum!" Hermione gushed, running towards her mother and pulling her into a tight hug. Draco watched this, wishing that he had've been affectionate towards his mother when she was alive. As a Malfoy, he was bought up never to show affection towards anyone; that changed with Hermione, he loved being with her and kissing her. But he regretted never hugging his mother, or giving her a kiss on the cheek before bed.

'I wish you were still here, mum,' Draco thought to himself as he walked towards an elated Hermione, who was frantically waving at him to come to her.

"Mum, you know Draco. Dad this is Draco Malfoy, my boyfriend." Hermione said, her voice never faltered despite how nervous she was on the inside about introducing her father to her boyfriend. She had always dreaded this moment. She never introduced Viktor to her parents because she didn't consider their relationship 'serious' enough.

'Or it could've been because he was always travelling for Quidditch,' she thought.

She had also avoided introducing Ron to her parents as her boyfriend because they already knew Ron. They had known him for years before the two started going out. But now she was introducing Draco, who was once her biggest enemy, to her parents and she didn't know what her father would say.

"Well, hello Draco," her father said in a polite, but firm, voice before he cleared his throat with a loud noise and offered his hand for Draco to shake.

Hermione just prayed that he didn't go into one of his lectures about safe sex, or toothcare, or how he would go after Draco if he hurt Hermione. He had playfully given Ron the latter lecture and had him frightened out of his wits before letting him know it was only a joke.

'Please dad, don't embarrass me.' Hermione thought, repeating the statement in her head.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Granger," Draco said before he was pulled in for a manly hug by Hermione's father, this caused Hermione's mother to break out into a quiet laughter.

--

As the four walked towards the family car, the two women walking ahead of course, Hermione and her mother quietly spoke of the embrace Hermione's father had shared with Draco.

"Well, honey, we had a long talk and he promised he wouldn't do, or say, anything stupid for your sake. He wants to give Draco another chance and, by the looks of things, he liked his teeth."

"What?" Hermione laughed, looking at her mother who's natural beauty was highlighted by the suns rays. Hermione could see a bit of herself in her mothers face, she now felt complimented when she remembered all the people who said that she looked just like her mother.

"You're father said if his teeth are right, he'll give him a hug. We all know how he is with teeth."

"Oh, no way!" Hermione giggled. She should've known, he had done that when he had met Harry and Ron, approving of their bright white, straight teeth.
