Fighting For True Love

Chapter 7- Sweet Emotions and Confusion

Severus left Albus’s office and headed straight for Hermione and Draco’s room. He stood outside the door for a few minutes then knocked on the door. He waited for a few seconds then Draco opened the door.

“Hello sir. Please come in.” Draco said.

Draco stepped aside as Severus entered the room. Hermione had told him what happened during her detention. Draco was happy that things were starting to look up for Hermione and his godfather. He was hoping that Severus would soon regain his memories and everything would return to normal.

“Hello Draco. Is Hermione here? I’d like to talk to her.” Severus said.

“Sure. Sit down and I’ll go get her.” Draco said as he walked over to Hermione’s door then entered.

Hermione was sitting by the window staring out at the stars. She looked up when she heard Draco enter the room.

“Hey. What’s up?” she asked.

“Severus is here to see you. He’s out in the sitting room.” Draco said with a smile.

“Thanks.” Hermione said smiling.

She entered the sitting room and found Severus standing by the fire place. She cleared her throat as Draco slipped into his own room to give them some privacy.

“Hello Hermione.” Severus said.

“You wanted to see me?” she asked.

“Yes. Hermione, I know I don’t remember us being in love, but I want to. Albus has suggested that I spend more time with you. I guess he thinks it will trigger something in my mind. I really want to remember us. In my memories flashes you and I look so happy. I want to feel that.” Severus said as he took Hermione’s hands in his.

“Do you mean that? Do you really want to remember?” Hermione asked hopefully.

“Yes.” Severus answered.

“Then I’ll help you. Severus, I want you back. We all do.” Hermione said as she moved closer to him.

“Hermione, can I kiss you?” Severus asked.

“Yes.” Hermione answered.

Severus pulled her into his arms and leaned down. The kiss was soft and gentle at first. Then it turned a little more heated and passionate. Severus pulled Hermione closer as she threaded her fingers through his hair. After about five minutes they pulled away.

“Wow. Are all of our kisses that intense?” Severus asked.

“Yes. They always have been. Gods I miss that.” Hermione whispered as tears began falling from her brown eyes.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Severus asked.

Hermione stepped away from him and sat on the sofa. Severus followed and sat beside her.

“Hermione? What’s wrong?” he asked.

“It’s just…kissing you, but knowing you don’t remember us is hard. It’s like looking into a candy store window but knowing you can’t go in. You know what I mean?” Hermione said as she wiped away her tears, but more kept falling.

“I didn’t mean to make you cry. I’m sorry.” Severus said as he reached over and brushed the tears away.

He noticed that Hermione flinched slightly at his touch.

“There’s something else. What is it?” he asked softly.

“Well, lately I’ve been having these nightmares. Draco knows about them. I’m not sure if he’s told Albus yet or not though. In the dreams you…you are coming after me. You…you said…that I was going to die like the rest of the filthy…mudbloods. Then…then you pulled out your wand and…and…and you started to yell the…the…killing curse at me.” Hermione stuttered.

Severus was in shock.

‘I would never hurt a student! And now that I know that I was in love with Hermione and she is now carrying my…no…our child I would never hurt her.’. Severus thought to himself.

“Hermione, listen to me. I would never hurt one of my students. I can promise you this. I would never hurt you. Well, not intentionally. Especially now that you are carrying our child. I could never do that.” Severus said softly.

“I know you would never hurt your students, but these dreams are so real and vivid. Draco has had to wake me up a few times because my screams are so loud.” Hermione said.

Severus scooted closer to her and gathered her into his arms. She buried her face into his chest and cried. He couldn’t care that she was wetting the front of his shirt. All he cared about was comforting the mother of his child. After holding her for about twenty minutes he looked down. She was sound asleep.

Severus sighed and gathered her into his arms. Gently, so as not to wake her, he carried her into her bedroom. She was already dressed for bed, so he just tucked her in. He sat beside her on the bed and just stared at her. She really was beautiful. He leaned down and kissed her cheek softly the left the room. Severus walked over to Draco’s door and knocked. Draco opened a second later.

“Is something wrong Severus?” Draco asked.

“Yes. Can we talk?” Severus answered.

Draco came out into the sitting room and sat in a chair across from Severus.

“Hermione told me of her nightmares. Does she really believe I would hurt her? Let alone use the killing curse on her?” Severus asked.

“I’m not sure. The first night she had the dream she was so scared. When I was able to wake her she was looking all around the room. As if she was expecting you to be standing right there over her.” Draco answered.

Severus dropped his head into his hands and sighed.

“Oh gods Draco. I feel confused. I also feel helpless. I want to help her yet at the same time keep my distance from her. She told me that Albus told her that Voldemort was the one that has taken my memories of her and I away from me. What if I get them back and he does the same thing?” Severus said.

“Severus, it will be all right. I promise. You will get your memories back, Voldemort will be destroyed and you and Hermione will have a family.” Draco said as he placed a comforting hand on his godfather’s shoulder.

Before either man could speak, Hermione’s screams filled the room. Both men ran to her room. When they entered they found her thrashing and screaming in her bed.

“NO! PLEASE! SEVERUS DON’T! YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME! NOOOO!” Hermione screamed.

Severus was instantly at her side. He took her into his arms.

“Hermione, Hermione please wake up. It’s me Severus. Please.” Severus pleaded as he held Hermione down.

Hermione began thrashing more once she heard his voice. That’s when Draco stepped in.

“Mione. Mione, its Draco. Wake up please.” Draco said softly.

Hermione’s eyes flew open. As soon as she laid eyes on Severus she began moving away from him and closer to Draco.

“Please. Please don’t hurt me.” Hermione whispered.

“Sshh. Hermione, it was just a dream. Don’t you remember Severus came to see you? He’s not going to hurt you.” Draco asked.

Hermione’s breathing became more regular and the fear in her face and eyes quickly faded.

“Hermione, do you really think I would hurt you?” Severus asked.

“I…I don’t know. Like I said, these dreams are so real. I’m so confused.” Hermione whispered.

Hermione buried her face in her hands and began to cry. Severus was at her side in a flash and gathered her into his arms and held her. Hermione buried her face into his chest and cried.

“Sshh. I’m here Hermione. I would never hurt you or our child. I swear.” Severus whispered.

Draco slowly and quietly exited the room. He left the rooms and went to see Albus. He reached the office and knocked. Albus was once again sitting behind his desk with a book and a cup of tea. Draco sat in front of the older wizard and waited.

“Is something wrong my boy?” Albus asked.

“Well kind of.” Draco answered.

He then proceeded to tell Albus that Severus came to see Hermione, that she told him about the nightmares, how Severus felt, about Hermione having another nightmare and how Severus reacted.

“When I left he was holding her while she was crying. Albus, what do we do?” Draco said.

“I don’t know. I just don’t know. I think I have found a way to reverse the spell that was put on him. I found it in a book about medieval magic. I just hope that it works and that it is the right one.” Albus said.

Draco sighed and sank deeper into the chair.

“I guess I’ll head off for bed. Good night sir.” He said.

“Good night Draco.” Albus said.

Draco left the office and returned to his room. He figured Severus had left, so he went in and checked on Hermione. What he saw brought a smile to his face. Lying on the bed was Severus who had fallen asleep while holding Hermione. Hermione lay next to him, tightly wrapped in his embrace. Draco used his wand and covered the two with the blanket and left the room. He changed for bed and climbed into his bed. As he drifted off to sleep he prayed that Severus would return to them and soon.
