"Ok mummy, me and Rose are going to play outside in the garden," Hugo gave me a peck on the cheek and ran to put his shoes on. Ron helped me towards our room and helped me on the bed in the middle of the room.

"Hermione, are you ok?" I had to lie to make him believe but I needed to ask him a lot of questions and tell him that I don't want to go anywhere until I worked out what happened to me.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Ron, what did I look like when you found me on the doorstep?" I needed the truth. All of it.

Chapter 7

I couldn't bear it when Ron hid the truth.

"Hermione, I don't want to-"

"Tell me, please."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes, because it could spark my memory. " I couldn't be kept in the dark any longer. I needed to know.

"If I must." He took a deep breath and then started talking again.

"You looked a mess. You were soaked through because of the rain and you had a puddle of blood surrounding you coming from your waist. There was a note on the floor but most of the ink had run. I saw the word Mungo and apparated you straight there. The healers confirmed the cut from your waist was from a small dagger. I'm sorry love, I was so worried that day. I'm too scared to leave you on your own." I smiled at him lovingly and kissed him full on the lips. In the distance, we heard quick footsteps.

"Mummy, Daddy, please could you stop doing that in front of us."

"Rosie, the word is not stop, it's refrain." Ron chuckled softly under his breath.

"Mione, if they get any smarter, then they'll turn into a younger version of you!" This sparked yet another memory into my head. The last person I saw was Narcissa Malfoy wearing complete black, apparating me away from a building that looked like the houses of parliment,and she had pulled the sharp, silver dagger from my side. I remember the dagger really well. The hilt of the dagger was encrusted with gems with initials engraved behind one of the gems in italics I never got to see the letters but I got the general jist of which letters. I think that they were a D and a I.

"Ron, I can remember something. We need to make a visit to Malfoy Manor."

"Eh? What? Why that place? We don't like anyone there. And anyway, it'll only be Malfoy there."

"We need to visit because I need to see the former Mrs Malfoy, now Ms Black. Why won't she be there?"

"She went to France when you were in St Mungo's. Don't worry though,Malfoy can probably get her back over here."

"Good, he owes us one. And his child can play with ours."

"What? Are you serious? It's Malfoy!"

"Yes Ronald, I am very serious. Now," I took a deep breath and headed towards the stairs.

"Kid's we're going out now so get your shoes on!" Ron gave me a look that suggested that he didn't want to see his former enemy.

"You can't be serious!"

"Yes I am, so HURRY UP!" The two bundles of joy ran straight down the stairs and out the door. We stepped out the door and with a flick of the wand, I locked the door.

"Ok, Rosie hold onto your dad, and Hugo, keep hold of me." I gave Ron an 'If you don't turn up at Malfoy Manor then I'll kill you' look and then, we spun on the spot, heading towards the Manor.

A/N: Ooh... what's gonna happen? Please please please please please please review as it means so much to me! I read every single one and it just makes me smile! :D Even when they're very critical! They make me feel better!
