"You may go in now." Came Madame Pomfreys voice. Ron jumped up and rushed past her. Hermione was still unconscious, Dumbledore sat by her bed. She was lying under crisp white sheets, her head was bandaged, crimson just starting to show through. Ron walk slowly up the bed and took her hand in his. He look to Dumbledore who nodded.
"I will give you some privacy." Dumbledore got up left, Ron sat down on the edge of the bed and his eyes began to well up with tears again.
"I dunno if you can hear me, but I am here. What happened to you? I know things haven't been exactly perfect lately, I do notice these things, even when you think I don't. I love you with every breath in my body, and I always will." Ron lent forward and kissed on the forehead. Hermione's eyes began to flutter. "PROFESSOR!" Ron yelled, and Dumbledore ran into the room.
"Out of the way Weasley!" he said barging past, Madame Pomfrey close at his heels. Madame Pomfrey took hold of Ron's shoulders and ushered him out of the door. Ginny was waiting for him.
"What happened?" she quizzed. Ron took a drink from the flask and sat down beside her.
"She was waking up."
Draco was pacing the floor in the Slytherin common room. "You're going to wear a hole in the carpet before long." Pansy muttered, looking up from the book she was reading.
"Shut it!" he snapped and continued his pace. He kept seeing her, her beautiful, silky locks soaked in blood and matted to the back of her head. Draco couldn't rest, he was going to have to find out what was going on, no matter how much it affected his reputation.
After asking Professor Snape and getting nowhere, he began to walk to the hospital wing. Again, when he reached the top of the stairs he saw Ron sat outside the door, this time accompanied by his annoying sister. He took a deep breath and walked towards Ron.
"How is she?" he asked as he approached.
"What do you care Malfoy!" Ginny snarled.
"I…I…" Think Malfoy think! " Well I am her prefect partner, I do have a right to know these things."
"She was just waking up." Ron said as he looked up at Malfoy.
"RON!" Ginny yelled. "I has nothing to do with him."
The door to the hospital wing opened and Madame Pomfrey walked out, tears in her eyes. Professor Dumbledore came out after her, he walked straight past everyone and headed down the stairs.
"Miss Granger…" Madame Pomfrey sniffled. "She has lost her memory, she doesn't know who she is."
