She opened her eyes feeling hands on her, tensing up, but relaxing slightly seeing it wasn't that disgusting man that always came in here. It was a boy with blonde hair. "Just relax," he told her. "I'm going to help you, Erin."

"Erin?"

She saw a look of pure pain come over his features. "Your name is Erin Black." He told her. "You're my cousin. We're going to get you out of here and back to your father. He can help you. You have to be quiet though."

"What's your name?"

"Draco, my name is Draco." He said before helping her up off the floor. She smelled, just the awfulness coming off the scar tissue on her shoulder. He ignored it as he took her from the room. Dean was out there and locked the door behind them after putting an illusion on the room of Erin and making sure no one was around. Kaeli was keeping Wormtail occupied helping her out. Bellatrix wasn't home, Draco's mother was, but she was in her rooms. Since his father was gone she had been a bit depressed, but trying to keep her head up. Draco couldn't blame her.

They got Erin up to the room between the two houses and went through. He got through the second door and found Harry in Erin's room, "You?"

"Just help me with her, Potter! For Merlin's sake, we don't have much time!" Draco hissed. "Take her! I have to get back before they suspect me!"

"Wait, did he—?"

"He didn't touch her, it wasn't 'time' yet or whatever, she has no memory, now I have to go!" He ducked back through the door while Harry got Erin to the bed and was yelling for Remus and Sirius.

The two men came through the door in time to see the little door close. They were immediately at Erin's side. Hermione came in after that and all but pushed them all out. "I'll take care of her! Just give us some female minutes while you tell Dumbledore!" Ginny came to help her and Donovan ushered the others out.

The two girls helped to bathe Erin and clean her up. She needed it after all this time. Hermione checked to make sure it was really her, but she knew instantly it was by the smell. Being a cat had upped many of her senses and Erin had a unique smell, everyone did, and it was definitely her. Besides Crookshanks had checked her out as well and had known it was her. Erin was out of it, but asked who they were.

Hermione swallowed hard while she scrubbed Erin's skin clean. They had taken off the clothing she was wearing (the same clothes she had on when she was taken months ago) and put her in a tub of hot water. "I'm Hermione," she said. "I'm your best friend."

"I'm Ginny, we're friends and I'm married to your cousin, Donovan."

"Oh," Erin said softly. "Who were the others in here?"

"There was Harry, he's your…" Hermione wasn't even sure boyfriend was the right word to use for how Erin and Harry felt about each other. "He's your soul mate." She finally said. "The other two men in here were your father, Sirius Black, and your godfather, Remus Lupin. And Donovan was in here briefly."

"What happened to me?"

"You were taken from us, months ago." Hermione explained. "We've been searching for you ever since. We knew basically who had you, but not where you were. It's been so hard for us with you gone. Things just weren't the same…especially for Harry. Nothing really mattered to him anymore unless it was in relation to you."

Erin wasn't sure how to feel about that. Hermione just kept talking as they gently bathed the girl clean and washed her hair and were really gently with the scar tissue, but getting her as clean as they could before there was a knock on the door. "Miss Granger? It's Madame Pomfrey, dear, please, let me in."

Ginny went over immediately to let the woman in to see Erin. "Oh, dear," she took out some salve and potions to put on the scarring and wrapped it up with bandages before they helped her into some clean clothing. The older woman had Erin drink some potions to fend off any infections or anything she could have picked up from her time being held captive.

When they were done Dumbledore was allowed in to speak to her alone. When he came out he looked grim. "Her memories are almost entirely destroyed, I've managed to piece together what I can…her knowledge of our world is intact, everything she's every learned is intact, it's her personal memories that are gone." He said trying to explain. "She remembers all of you…but vaguely. The feelings are still there, but why is not. I've talked to her and I believe she understands this. You can never get back what you had with her…but the future is still there." He faltered seeing the absolutely heartbroken look on Sirius' face. He had never seen him like this before. In a moment Sirius pushed passed him into the room followed by Harry. "Let's give them some time alone."

"Sir?" Hermione ventured. "Her dreams about going to the American University…?"

"I do not believe this will have any effect on that dream," he assured her. "That part of her mind is completely untouched."

Hermione stared a little noticing his hand. The man quickly hid it in his robes. "Do not worry about me, Miss Granger, worry about your friend. She will need you now. I must be going now that we know Erin is safe at home."
