Dedicated to: Mrs. Draco Malfoy. Thanks for the quote(s). Franklin is right. ;)
Before Ginny could ask anything else, Madam Pomfrey and Ron came rushing into the room. Madam Pomfrey immediately began interrogating Ginny on how she felt and her memory.
"Ginny dear, do you know what Hogwarts is?" she asked hopefully.
"I think so." Ginny said then paused thinking for a moment. "It's where I go to school, right?"
Blaise took this opportunity to try to sneak out of the room, but Ginny's voice made him stop. "Blaise, please don't go." He turned and looked back at her sadly.
"I don't want to stay, Ginny. Just let me be." He told her turning back towards the door. WHACK! Something flew by his head and smashed into the door. It was the cup that used to be sitting on the table next to Ginny.
"Stay, Blaise. I still remember how to use magic, even if I don't remember who everyone is." Ginny told him in a tone of voice that didn't allow argument.
"Fine." He muttered and then returned to the seat next to Ginny's bed. Madam Pomfrey continued her investigation.
"Ginny, you muttered Harry's name while you were unconscious. Do you know why?" Out of the corner of her eye, Ginny saw Blaise visibly stiffen at Madam Pomfrey's words. Ginny closed her eyes to think, she opened them again but said nothing. Her hand involuntarily went to the necklace around her neck. She looked down at it curiously.
"Did you give this to me Blaise?" she asked curiously.
"No, I didn't."
"Well, why does it have our initials on it?"
"I don't bloody know! You showed up to practice with it on this morning and I never had time to ask about it!" He yelled out angrily.
"Calm down, Blaise. I don't remember anything! Give me a break!" she screamed back.
"Blaise, I will have to ask you to leave if you can't keep it down… she needs rest; not arguments." Madam Pomfrey commanded from the other side of the bed.
"Yes, Madam Pomfrey." Blaise answered her sheepishly. Ginny and Blaise sat in icy silence till Madam Pomfrey went back into her office.
"What did I do Blaise?" Ginny asked when they were alone.
"I told you, you broke my heart." He said tiredly.
"Alright. Then, how did I break your heart? Does this have anything to do with the fact that I said Harry's name while I was unconscious?"
"It might." Blaise answered cryptically.
"I'm sorry." She told him sadly.
"What?" Blaise asked confused.
"I'm sorry that I said 'Harry' instead of Blaise. I can swear to you that I don't have any feelings for him.
"How do you know that? You don't even remember who any of us are." Blaise said skeptically.
"I woke up and saw both of you, But I felt this need to be held by you, not him. I don't even remember who you are, but frankly I can tell you that I have strong feelings for you." She said looking away.
Blaise smiled and took her hand. "Can you sit up?"
"Yeah I think so." Ginny said. Blaise helped her up and soon she was sitting up with supported by several fluffy pillows. Once she was comfortable Blaise leaned over an kissed her gently, Ginny responded with enthusiasm. Blaise pulled away smiling.
"I remember your kiss, but I still can't remember you... I don't get it." Ginny said frustrated.
Blaise thought for a moment then said "Can I see the necklace?"
Ginny nodded and handed it to him. The moment the necklace left her hand Ginny collapsed back on the pillows in pain. She grabbed her head and screamed. Madam Pomfrey came running into the room terrified. Blaise watched in horror. He looked down at the necklace and then at Ginny, then back to the necklace. He tried to give it back to her, but she screamed "no!"
Madam Pomfrey finally managed to get Ginny to drink a sleeping potion and soon she was fast asleep peacefully. Blaise looked at Madam Pomfrey terrified. "What just happened?" he asked.
"I think her memories were trying to come back since the necklace wasn't touching her skin anymore." Blaise looked at her confused. She shook her head. "I couldn't help but over hear Harry's conversation. He charmed the necklace to make Ginny forget you and come back to him and Gryffindor."
Blaise didn't answer. Madam Pomfrey began to walk away, but Blaise's voice stopped her. "What can you do?"
She turned to face him. "All we can do is wait and see. If I can keep her asleep long enough, she might gain her memory back without much pain, but its hard to know for sure. I think the combination of the bludger, fall and necklace has really hurt her mind. Be there for her and you might just get her back."
Blaise looked back to Ginny's peaceful form as Draco and Tori came bolting into the room.
"We heard that she woke up! Tori said breathless holding onto Draco's arm. "How is she?"
"She doesn't remember anything."
"Anything at all?" Tori asked sadly.
"Emotions." Blaise said thoughtfully.
"What?" Draco said confused. Blaise didn't answer. "What emotions, Blaise?"
"She remembers that she likes me, ok? I don't know how or why? She said 'I woke up and saw both of you, But I felt this need to be held by you, not him. I don't even remember who you are, but frankly I can tell you that I have strong feelings for you.' I don't understand."
"Wait, whose both of you?" Tori interrupted.
"Harry and me." He held up the necklace for them to see. "Harry gave this to her to make her forget us and go back to him. I asked to see it and when she handed it to me things went wrong. She screamed bloody murder the second it wasn't touching her skin. But when I tried to give it back she didn't want it. I'm going to go talk to Harry." Blaise began to leave, but Draco spoke up.
"Keep it under control man. You getting suspended or expelled doesn't help Ginny."
"I know." Blaise murmured and was gone.
It didn't take Blaise long to find Harry. He was standing on a bridge gazing into space. Before Blaise could say anything he spoke. "I know why you're here, Blaise."
"Good," Blaise answered standing next to him. "Then what do I need to know, Harry?"
"I don't know." Harry said sheepishly.
"Well, lets start from the beginning. Where did you get the locket?"
"I can't tell you."
"Harry." Blaise said as he felt his anger rising. "She's in the hospital with no memory of anyone. That necklace you gave her is killing her whether she is wearing it or not. I have to know where you got it."
"Professor Dumbledore." Harry answered sighing heavily. "Professor Dumbledore gave it to me."
Blaise voice began to rise angrily. "What? You mean to tell me that our headmaster poisoned my girlfriend?"
"No, I did that part." Harry said quietly. "He said that the necklace would help me. I think he meant with the war and Voldemort, but I decided that it would help bring her back. I was wrong and I am sorry."
"So, you didn't hit her with the bludger then. You said the necklace was meant to make her forget me, right?" Harry nodded confused. "Whoever hit her with the bludger couldn't have known that could they? I mean you Ron and Hermione were the only people who knew about the necklace."
"No, they didn't know I didn't tell anyone, but I gave the box to Astoria to give to Ginny. She was supposed to give it to her yesterday afternoon but Ginny didn't seem to have it till this morning. It doesn't make sense, why would…" Harry's voice trailed off sadly.
Blaise was silent for a few minutes, then stood up startled slightly. "Polyjuice."
Harry looked at him as if he were crazy. "What the hell?"
"Someone used Polyjuice Potion." Blaise said looking at Harry furtively. "Didn't you and Ron ask Ginny about Polyjuice?"
"Yeah, because…" Harry stopped suddenly. "Only because Hermione wouldn't help us. She said that Ginny left us so we should leave her."
"We need to find Hermione." Blaise said panicked.
Harry looked at him horrified. "She's gone."
"WHAT?" Blaise yelled.
"She left today on a mission for Dumbledore."
"Ok, new plan then. Find Dumbledore now." Blaise said angrily and they both took off running for the castle.
I'm so sorry this took so long. But my life became as crazy a zoo that's animals all got loose. So, we'll see if I can get another chapter out before I leave for study abroad. REVIEWS ARE ALWAYS GREAT MOVTIVATION. :D
