Enjoy! and... REVIEW! Thank you to everyone that reviewed last chapter, you guys are the best!

I just realized I've never done a disclaimer...oops :P Well, all I can say is that you would know if I owned Harry Potter and House of Anubis, because there would be another HP book written and season 2 of HOA would have already started. And there isn't, and it didn't. So there ya go.

Ch. 17: House of Forgotten

Fabian's POV

She sighed. "I remember absolutely nothing about last night...Including the ball."

"Whaaaa..." I was too stunned for words. How could she have forgotten something like that?

Nina nodded regretfully. "I'm really sorry Fabian, I'm sure it was fun. Madam Pomfrey thinks I hit my head on something."

"I...I..." I didn't know what to say. She didn't know that she was my girlfriend, or that we had kissed, or anything about the amazing time we had last night.

I heard Hermione whisper something to the others about leaving us alone, and they left. I looked into Nina's eyes. I knew she was telling the truth, but I couldn't believe it. Last night had been the best night of my life, and now it was almost like it didn't exist because she didn't remember it. I had finally gotten the courage to ask her out, and she didn't remember it.

"Fabian...I...I'm sorry." she whispered, he eyes filling with tears. "I remember walking out of the girls dormitory and thats it."

"No, no it's fine. Its not your fault." I said. She still looked upset, so I brushed a strand of hair off her face and said; "Seriously, it's okay. You...er...didn't miss much." Which was a total lie.

She nodded slowly. "So, what did we do?"

"What?"

"What did we do at the ball? What did I miss?"

"Oh! Er..." I wasn't sure what to say. "Well...we danced. Ate dinner. And Amber made Ron and Hermione king and queen."

"Really?" Nina said, grinning. "How did they like that?"

I chuckled. "Alot, I guess, because they kissed."

Amber gave a loud squeal from the next bed over, startling Nina and I. We jumped and turned to look at her.

"Sorry, sorry!" she said. "I just wish I could remember doing that!"

Nina and I grinned at each other and shook our heads.

"So, thats it?" she asked, looking slightly disappointed.

"Yeah." I lied, with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Why couldn't I just tell her that I asked her out and she said yes? Or just ask her out again? She had said yes once, she'd say it again...Or maybe she had just been caught up in the moment when she had said yes, or she would feel bad saying no.

I sighed, looking down at my knees. Most guys just had to ask their crush out once, while mine gets beat up by a mean-head-of-house-gone-dark-wizard and forgets that I ever asked her. Just one of the many perks of being a wizard...

The hospital wing door flew open all of a sudden, and Alfie burst in.

"AMBER!" he cried, flying over to Amber's bed. "I was so worried!"

"Aww, thanks Alfie!" said Amber. "You're so sweet!"

"Like honey, honey!" Alfie grinned. "Oh, hey Nina."

Nina laughed. "Hi Alfie."

I stayed and talked with Nina, Amber and Alfie for a while until Alfie decided to go to dinner and left. I stayed with Nina for another hour, but then Madam Pomfrey kicked me out because Nina needed rest.

Over the next few days of winter break, I spent every day in the hospital wing with Nina. We spent most of the time debating over who had attacked Nina and Amber. Rufus and Snape had said it was Victor, but could we really trust them? They were the two people we hated most at Hogwarts, couldn't THEY have been the ones that attacked Nina and Amber? And why did they do it?

Five days later, Nina and Amber were given a clean bill of health and released from the hospital wing.

"So, I guess Sibuna is back on?" Nina asked me on our way back to the common room from the hospital wing.

"Definetly." I said. "But...We might want to consider including a few other people in it."

"Like who?"

"Well..." I paused to consider. "Maybe Harry? He's involved in this as much as you and me are. I mean because he's your-"

Nina violently shook her head and gestured at Amber. Oh. Right. Amber doesn't know that Harry is Nina's brother.

"-your...friend. And my friend too. And he helped me out a lot the night of the Yule Ball, when you two were...you know..."

Nina nodded. "I think we can trust Harry. What do you think Amber?"

"Yeah, sure." She replied, seeming uninterested.

"And how about Hermione? She's really smart." I said.

Nina looked at me with a strange expression on her face. Was it jealousy? Anger? I couldn't tell. "I'm smart."

"I know you are." I told her. "But I just think the more smart people, the better."

Nina shrugged her shoulders. Amber however, looked excited. "Yes! I think Hermione would be perfect! She's so nice."

Nina rolled her eyes. What is with her?

"So, we've agreed on letting Harry and Hermione join?" I asked.

They nodded, Nina somewhat reluctantly. "What about Ron?" she asked.

"What about him?"

"Don't you think he should join too?" Nina said. "He's Harry's best friend and all. We wouldn't want him to be left out."

"Errr..." I said. Why did she want Ron to join? She never really talked to him...as far as I knew. "I don't know."

She shrugged again. "Okay, whatever."

"So, we'll check with Patricia, then talk to Harry and Hermione." I said. "Agreed?"

Nina and Amber both said yes.

We arrived at the portrait hole a few minutes later.

"Go on in," Nina told Amber. "We'll be there in a minute."

Nina walked up to me, stood on her tip-toes, and kissed me on the cheek.

I stood there, too stunned for words. "Thanks." she said, smiling.

"For what?" I asked, unable to think straight.

"For taking me to the ball, even though I don't remember it, for not being mad at me when I didn't remember it, for staying with me all week in the hospital wing, and most of all, for being an amazing person." She said, looking me in the eye.

"I...uh...wow." I said, smiling slowly. I shook my head to clear it. "Uh, it was nothing. Why would I have been mad at you? It's not your fault you were attacked."

She shrugged. " I don't know. Cause I pretty much ruined your night."

"No you didn't! It was awesome! Except for, well, yeah, that part."

She laughed. "C'mon. Everybody's probably wondering where we are."

I agreed, and followed her into the portrait hole. She immediatly walked over and started talking to Hermione and Mara.

All of a sudden, I felt a sharp blow on my arm. I whipped around, and saw Amber holding a pillow.

"Hey, what's your-"

"Why-didn't-you-ask-her-out-al-freaking-ready?" said Amber, whacking me with every word.

"Hey! That hurts!" I complained, rubbing my arm.

"Oh, man up! And ask-her-out!" Amber replied, whacking me again. She pranced away, leaving me scowling and rubbing my shoulder. Man, she can be vicious.

"Hey, why do you care so much anyway?" I called after her.

She turned around to face me. "Well...Nina's my best friend, so I want whats best for her..." Amber said. Then she grinned mischieviously. "And I'd hate to see a perfect couple like you two go to waste."

I rolled my eyes as Amber continued up into the girl's dormitory. As phsyco as she was, she did have a point...

So, remember that blue button from last time? Press it again! Thanks! :) xxx
