Chapter 7


......She looked up at him and placed her hand on his cheek, wiping away the tear. He lowered his head slowly and she lifted hers. It seemed like it took forever, but their lips finally met. They kissed for the first time in 3 years, and thats when it all happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


*They were standing outside of the head dorms, holding hands thinking about the future that awaited them. They were starting to fall in love with eachother.

* It was raining out, and both were on the Quidditch pitch. Slytherin just won the game against Gryffindor. She was happy for him, but sad that her house didn't win. He took his hand and caressed her cheek. Her eyes closed at his touch. His skin was so soft and warm. He leaned his head down and she brought her's up. Their lips slowly and softly met. Her lips tingled as he passed his tounge over her bottom lip. She parted her lips letting him in and she slipped her tounge into his mouth in return. It was slow, and romantic. Their first kiss.

*His lips crashed on her's. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he wrapped his arms around her waist.
They stood there kissing for what seemed like hours. He took his arm and placed it under her legs and scooped her up into his arms. Not parting from the kiss, he carried her up to his room. He gently lay her on the bed. That night they made love by the glow of a jack-o-lantern sitting on his nightstand.

*He was down on one knee, holding a black silk box which held a diamond ring. Ginny was teary eyed and Blaise had a big smile on his face. Draco looked up into her eyes. She saw love, desire, compassion and so many more emotions. Tears fell down he cheeks, and she jumped into his arms, accepting his proposal. A Christmas surprise and blessing

*They were standing at the alter, reciting their vows, I do's, and placing the rings on eachothers fingers. She was so happy. She was marrying the man she loved. Her best friend stood beside her, giving her the support that Harry and Ron wouldn't give to them. It was ok , she knew they would come around.

*She was dancing with him at the Valentines Day Ball. To their song. She was melting in his arms, and they weren't aware they were the only ones dancing. The school had formed a circle around the newlywed couple. Some girls were sniffling, while the few who objected to this coupling, sat at there tables sulking.

* She jumped infront of Draco, protecting him from Voldemort. She took the Cruciatus curse in her back. Harry then finished Voldemort off. She was weak and needed help. The two wizards rushed her to Hogwarts, in hopes that she wouldn't die on them.

*She sat in bed holding her infant daughter. She looked at her husband, who couldn't be happier that his wife and their daughter lived through the hell that they were just put through. The two parents looked down at their little girl, with tears of joy running down their cheeks.

* He beat her every day. She had cuts and bruises. He was irate that his son had gone and married her, a fithly little mudblood. She broke out of the dungeon and ran out of the house, and saw a small group of wizards in the distance. She recodnized them all. "DRACO!" she called. She was hit by a force on her arm and fell to the ground as everything went dark.

Hermione opened her eyes and saw a group of people satring at her. What the hell? She thought. She relized she was in St Mungo's. She searched for a certain blond wizard, but couldn't find him. She started crying.

"Are you ok, Mrs. Malfoy?" asked the healer

"Where's my husband? I miss him so much. I haven't seen him in three years or our daughter." she replied through tears.

"You remember?" asked Harry.

"Of course I remember, why wouldn't I ?" she asked. She was confused.

"Hermione, three weeks ago, Lucius Malfoy," Hermione cringed at that name " Used the Oblivious spell on you to erase your memory. It barely grazed your arm but still, it erased the past 5 years in your life. That is until now. I seemed that the kiss you and Draco shared was a kiss of true love. That was the only way the spell could be broken, with love. Its the strongest power, but sometimes that doesn't even work. You were on of the lucky ones." said the Healer.

"Oh my goodness. Draco must have been devastated. For three years he lost the person who showed him what love was. I want to see him and my daughter. My daughter, she must hate me. " she said crying even harder.

"No Mione, she doesn't she understood what happened. She's very smart. She kinda helped you gain some memories back" said Harry.

"How?" she asked

"She's a Seer, like Draco. She knew what things would trigger your memory" Said Ron.

"I don't remember. The last thing I remember was running from that bastard" she said angrily

"Your case is almost like Amnesia, you remember the event that happened before you lost your memory, you don;t remember things that happened in the time it took you to recover it." said the Healer.

"Ok, I get it, now when can I see my husband?" she asked desperately. She missed him so much. She wanted to hold on to him and never let go.

"I'll go get him, he's right in the hall, he didn't want to be here in case you were mad at him for kissing you" said Harry smirking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draco was pacing in the hallway again. He was so nervous. Did she get her memory back? Would she hate him for kissing her. He was worrying so much. He kissed her and she fainted right in his arms. This is the third time hes been to St. Mungo's writh her. He hoped it would be the last time here, for this reason anyway. He heard a door open and saw Harry Ron and the Healer come out. He looked at them for a sign. For any thing. It took them all the strength they had not to show their happiness. They wanted it to be a surprise.

"Go ahead, she's waiting" said Ron. Draco moved slowly toward the door, and as he got closer, he could hear a sound. It was someone singing.

Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .

It was Hermione. She was singing a verse from their song. He opened the door and stepped in. She stopped singing and stared at him. She looked scared.

Say you love me . . .

He whisperd from the door. Her face got soft and tears started to form in her eyes. It had been soo long and she finally got to be with him.

You know I do . She whispered in reply.

His eyes began to water and a smile frormed on his face as well as hers. He nearly ran to the bed and swooped her in an embrace. He never wanted to let go. She was back, his Hermione was back. He was the happiest he had been in 3 years.

Finally she said to herself as she held on tightly to her husband. She missed his warmth and his touch, kisses and all that came with the package of being married and in love. She had her life back and now she could fix it.

They pulled apart after about 10 minutes of holding each other. He sat on the edge of the bed. His eyes were red and puffy, his skin was pale and he was thin.
"Draco Malfoy, what have you done to yourself, your not eating or sleeping by looks of it" she said in her usual tone of smartness while smiling sweetly
"Its about time you came back to me. I was dying without you. But there was this one thing that wouldn't let me" he said he said happily.
"And what was that?" she asked even though she knew what the answer might be.
"Our daughter. Shes just like you, ya know. Stubborn, neat freak, book worm and she sometimes out smarts me." he said in a joking tone knowing that it would irritate her. Her mouth fell open in shock.

"Well if you find all those things irritating then I might as well just leave you" she said attempting to get out of the bed, but he held her back.

"I'm joking, and your never leaving me again. I missed you too much. I can't live without you" he said as his eyes watered thinking about that. " I never want to go through that again" he said.

"I'm joking too. And I never wanted to leave you. I missed you so much too. It was killing me to be away from you and our daughter. Did they tell you what he did?" she asked. He nodded.

"But he paid. He got the Kiss. And died shortly after that. You never have to worry about him or any one else hurting you again. I won't let them."

"I love you, Draco. I never stopped." she said

"I love you, too, Hermione. And I never stopped either" he replied.
He leaned in and and they kissed , slowly and gently, yet so full of love and compassion. After a quick snoging session, they broke apart, and they both smiled.

"So, when do we tell our daughter that her mommy is back? By the way what did you name her? I wasn't there to help you decide." she asked embarrasedly.

"Don't be embarrassed or sorry. It wasn't your fault. And her name is Faith Jane Granger Malfoy." he said.

"Its beautiful. Perfect." she replied

"We can tell her in tommorow afternoon when we pick her up from school." he said. "Oh by the way" he said reaching into his pocket, " do you want these back?" he asked holding her rings in his hand. She cupped her hands over her mouth.

"I'm so sorry." was all she could say.

"Its ok, you weren't yourself." he said as he took her hand and placed them back on her finger.

"Come lay down with me, until I fall asleep at least." she said as she scooted over to make room.

"I'll stay all night. I'll owl Ginny. She'll let her sleepover the night. " he said writting the message on a piece of parchment and the calling his owl to bring the message to Ginny. About 15 minutes later Ginny repiled agreeing and said she wouldn't tell Faith anything and sent her love to Hermione.

He climbed into the bed with her and wrapped his arms around her. She was covered up under the sheet and rested her body against his chest. They fell asleep like that. A sleep so deep and peaceful. One they hadn't had in a long time.

Harry and Ron watched from the window with smiles on their faces. Finally, things were going to get better, for all of them.
