Draco woke up the next morning bearing the most painful headache of his entire life; he sat up and shook his hair loose letting it fall over his eyes. He took in the room and remembers someone bringing him in here. He got up and looked at himself in the mirror as he recalled last night.

"Imperio!" Voldemort yelled as he pointed his wand at Draco who stood in the middle of a dark room with all his followers watching on "Now repeat after me, I'm Draco Lucius Malfoy, son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy heir to the Dark Lord known as Voldemort. I come from pure blood decent. I hate Muggle borns and half bloods. I attend Hogwarts and I'm in Slytherin…"

The whole programming of his new mind took hours; Voldemort even took the liberty of passing some of his powers onto him.

"I loathed the Gryffindors, and famous annoying Harry Potter, the Weasleys are the poorest wizards known in the world and Hermione Granger," he paused and lingered on " Is a mud blood, I'll bring her down," he smirked as he finished.

"There you have it the new and improved Draco Lucius Malfoy," Voldemort stepped back and set down his wand as an ovation followed "Now I'm afraid, Harry Potter will die after all… along with the rest of them," he laughed menacingly along with the rest of his followers, but Draco just stood there in his own world. That was only the break though after everyone laughed he picked up his wand again, this time passing some of his dark magic to Draco, this is what made him black out.

Here he was now standing in a room staring at his own reflection. There was a knock at the door and he waved his hand to open it. Samantha stood in the door way with a confused look on her face.

"Oh I thought you were gone I can come back later," she turned to leave, but he spoke up and told her not to worry. She came in and sat on her bed.

"What happened last night," he asked hoarsely.

"Well as my Father passed some of his powers on," she paused "You basically passed out."

That would explain his massive headache coming from the back of his skull; he rubbed at it. He looked around and took notice his cloak was laid over a chair so he pulled is over his shoulders and looked at himself again. Samantha watched him as he did this and he took notice.

"Where's Flint?"

"Umm…I'm not sure," she trailed off.

"Well stop looking at me like that, I'm your cousin!"

"Like I would even dare take the time to look at you," she spat and stood up.

"That's only because you know you wouldn't have the chance," he smirked as he walked passed her out of the room.

Sam stuck her tongue out at him and slammed the door; she needed to get ready for the day as well. Draco met Zach in the lobby, as he approached it he noticed the big painting hanging on the wall, it was Hogwarts.

"When do I get to go back?"

"I don't think you do mate," he clapped him on his shoulder.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"The reason I call everyone here is because …how can I say this nicely…were fucked."

"Severus!"

"What Narcissa it's true without Mr. Malfoy's memory what are we to do?"

The group sat there in front of Dumbledore, Draco's parents and Snape, but as everyone heard Mr. Malfoy they glanced at Lucius, who shook his head, which meant they were referring to Draco. Hermione sat there taking in the argument; all she wanted to know was that he was okay.

"I'll explain!" Everyone glanced over at Lucius "Draco has lost his memory due to a potion the Dark Lord decided to use and it deals with programming the victim by using the imperious curse," he took a big breath and started again "So we never saw this coming and now were stuck," he glanced over at Hermione who looked confused and this is when Snape took over.

"I have checked on Mister Malfoy and he's still alive, but has no recollection of ever being or with any of you Gryffindors," he glanced at Hermione "I'm sorry."

"So he's back to his old self," she spoke up.

They sat there in silence looking at one another everyone taking turns to glance at Hermione, which meant a yes. It was Narcissa who came over and pulled her into a hug, which earned her a weak smile.

"Another thing… Pansy you will be going with Snape to the liar. They want you to replace Blaise, so you'll be working next to Draco. Therefore you can be what Draco could not, our spy."

"Headmaster, I can't… I don't want to forget the person I am now. I LOVE being with Ron," she squeezed his hand. "What if they erase my memory, like they did him and…and program me to be back to my old self as well."

"Yes he is back to his Muggle born hating, pure blood loving sel-"

"Severus that is enough," choked Albus "That Ms. Parkinson will NOT happen to you. The reason they did that to Malfoy is because he was to be heir and you are not, plus he still thinks you're the old Parkinson, the one still wanting to be with him." At this Ron made a snorting sound, which caused a glare from Hermione.

She was just sitting their wrapped up in Narcissa's arms just listening in and making sure to take in every single detail she could get, but inside she felt like dying this was worse than their little fight they had, this was serious. He knew her as a mud blood and he hated her, she wiped the tear falling down her cheek as they discussed on.

'''''2 hours later + arguing time''''

"It's settled then," Stood Albus "Ms. Parkinson you are to leave with Severus in an hour."

"But-"

"Not Buts Ms. Parkinson the plan will work. I believe if we get Mr. Malfoy away from the liar he will fall back into routine-"

"I told you it won't work! The potion is too powerful!"

"Severus then what do you plan on doing," Lucius came in "We have to try something."

"Fine," he stood up "I'm going to take a headache potion by the time I get done brewing one and drinking it I expect you to be ready," he glanced over at Pansy and left.

"Pansy you'll be fine," Ron assured her "I promise I won't let anything happen to you."

Harry and Ginny came over and hugged her. Hermione just watched on as her friends comforted one another as couples, she had no one by her side, and Narcissa had left with Lucius to tend to Faith. She sighed and got up that's when eyes were on her.

"Hey you alright," Blaise came over and put a hand on her shoulder "You know I'm here for you so is everyone else. Don't worry about Draco he'll come around."

"No need to lie to me Blaise," she paused "I'm fine…"

With that she bid Pansy good luck and left to her Heads common room, hoping to fall asleep and wake up from this insane dream. Everyone watched her leave and looked at one another.

"I'll go keep her company," Blaise left as he kissed Ginny on the forehead.

"I hope everything turns out just as Dumbledore discussed."

"What was it again?"

"Oh Pansy, pay attention this is important," Ginny sighed as the two boys looked at one another "You are to bring Draco to Hogwarts, like kid nap him sort of, but not exactly," she looked at the confused couple and then pushed Harry to sum it up.

"Okay here it is. Pansy you are to bring Draco here to Hogwarts and then the object is trying to get him back to his normal state, like back to loving Hermione," this made her pout.

"He really has forgotten her, huh."

"Yes."

"Harry…why can't you do it!"

"Because you need t-" Ginny interrupted Harry.

"Pansy you're doing it because he still thinks you hate us, meaning Gryffindors! Now stop being a baby and man up!"

Everyone looked at Ginny with their mouths open; she just glared at Pansy and walked out making her way to the Head's common room. Harry looked at Ron then Pansy.

"I'm just gonna…go fly," he looked over at Pansy "See you in a bit and be safe."

Ron and Pansy were left alone. He reached over and grabbed her hand, but she swatted it away.

"How can you just stand there and let your sister talk to me like that!"

"Pansy she does have a point. Just stop complaining and do your mission."

"Are you serious? You're taking her side instead of mine."

"Babe just chill out I understand you're scared and your converting you fear into anger, but-"

When he looked up all he saw no one around 'Wow she didn't even take the damn potion and she's acting like her old self.'

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Pansy and Snape arrived at the liar of the Dark Lord as she stepped in she took note there was a painting of Hogwarts to her right, she stopped and admired it. They kept walking until they stopped at a door with light coming from the cracks, Snape turned to her.

"Remember Ms. Parkinson act like your old self."

"Professor, I won't have to bear the Dark Mark, right?"

"No you missed out on your initiation due to your Mother's high pitch squeal when she found out your skin was to be tainted with the hideous Dark Mark," he rolled his eyes 'Damn those Parkinson's always getting what they want.'

He pushed open the doors and revealed a room with lounge chairs to the right side and a table of food to the left; she was in awe as she stepped in further. There was a fireplace with a black mantle surrounding it. This room was darkly decorated, but had an air of beauty to it. She smiled as her eyes landed on a platinum blonde haired boy, her smile didn't go unnoticed.

"Aw Pansy my dear he's all yours again," a women came behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist.

"Thanks Mother," she sneered 'This woman drives me crazy,' she thought as she turned around in her Mother's embrace "How have you been?"

"Very well, Your Father is somewhere around this dreadful place," she paused "I take it I should let you socialize with your prince," she held back a chuckle.

Pansy's Mother left letting her get closer to Draco as she got closer, someone stepped in front of her.

"Well well if it isn't Pansy Parkinson. Wealsey's girlfriend," Samantha cooed causing Draco and Zach to turn around and face them.

"Parkinson dating Weasel," Draco laughed "That's hilarious."

"Very," Pansy fumed, but kept her charade up "It was all a cover up geez Riddle I thought you were smarter than that," she walked passed her and hooked arms with Draco "Plus with Draco being himself again…he's all mine."

"I've been myself Parkinson, what are you playing at?"

"Nothing Draco," Zach and Samantha simultaneously answered.

"Come on Pansy let's leave these two," he cupped her hand in his and walked off. Draco led her out to the balcony. He looked up at the stars which were shining down brightly down on them. Pansy looked at him with mild interest 'I wonder if he still loves her,' she thought, but decided to question him.

"Draco," he lifted his eyebrows up at her waiting for her to go one "What would you say if I told you…Hermione Granger loves you."

"Granger?" he thought for a moment "MUDBLOOD?! Pansy you disgrace me with such a question," he stormed out leaving her to her own thoughts.

"I take it you ask if he even cared for Granger," Snape emerged from the shadows and she nodded "Like I said he's back to his old self."

"I just don't understand why would Dumbledore want him back at Hogwarts…he's not going to fall back to loving her," she paused "This is hopeless."

"Well Albus thinks if he has 'good' in his heart then something will happen which will trigger a reverse in his mind and counter re-act the potion."

"I see," she leaned over the balcony and laid her head on her hand "I hope this works."

The little dinner lasted throughout the night and Pansy made sure not to run into Draco, but on the other side of the room he did keep throwing her weird looks. She was to share a room with Samantha so she decided to head to bed early, but someone grabbed her and took her into another room.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Hermione was sitting on the couch leaning her head on Blaise's shoulder and Ginny was the same on the other side. They talked for hours until Hermione passed out.

"Is she asleep?" Ginny asked as she got up and looked.

"Yeah," he smiled up at her "I guess I'm that good," she playfully hit him and held in her laugh.

The whole night Hermione was in silent tears, like they wanted to come out, but she wouldn't let them fall, she had to be strong. Blaise did his part by reassuring her everything would be okay and will work out in the end. Ginny came in to hold comfort her and make little jokes, but in the end she fell asleep peacefully.

"Let's go."

"Wait, I'll carry her up to her room," he lifted her body up and went to Draco's room and laid her down "Good night Granger."

"Night Malfoy."

Ginny watched the whole scene from the door way and felt a tear slide down her cheek and Blaise wiped it away.

"It's going to be alright," he whispered.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Draco! What do you think your doing!" She released herself from his grasp.

"Pansy there's something different about you," she sat on a bed.

"How so," he sat down next to her.

"You're not fawning all over me and calling me pet names," he paused and looked up at her "I kind of like it."

'Dear Lord, please don't tell me you finally going to fall for me,' she held her breath then stood up quickly "Look at the time Drakie I need to get my beauty sleep. It's not easy looking this good…wait I forgot for me it is."

"Drakie?" he walked closer to her "Stop pretending to be annoying," he leaned in and tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

"I'm not pretending," she whispered as he started to lean in "Are you going to kiss me?"

"Yeah I am," he leaned in, but Pansy backed away causing him to lean forward and stumble.

"Parkinson what the hell!"

"I'm sorry Draco…I just want our first kiss to be special," she smiled as the idea came to mind "Let's have it at Hogwarts."

Pansy turned around on her heel with a smile playing on her lips 'I love Ron,' she laughed inside 'I can't believe I turned Draco Malfoy down after all these years I've wanted him.' Draco looked confused, but decided to follow.
