A/N: Hey everyone! Hope you guys liked the last chapter. I know it ended on a cliffhanger, and believe me, that ending line has been planned since the very beginning. But if you know me, then you know I love Draco, so I obviously wouldn't torture him that much. Read the A/N at the end to find out when the next chapter will be out. On with the chapter!

"W-what?" Draco blinked at her. "I-I don't understand. What are you talking about, Hermione? And why-"

"Who are you?" Hermione repeated. 

"Who am I?" He frowned. "Are you seriously asking me this question? Who am I?"

She did nothing but blink at him.

"Look, I don't know what game you are playing at, but this is not a funny, Hermione." Draco sighed. "Oh wait, I get it. You are trying to punish me for how I treated you, aren't you? Hermione, I know I deserve that and much more than that, but please, please stop this game of not knowing who I am-"

"I am not playing any game!" Hermione exclaimed and sat up on the bed, letting go of Draco's wrist in the process. When he moved to stop her, she shoved him away. "I don't know what you are talking about. And who is Hermione, huh? I am not your Hermione."

"Oh really?" Draco raised his eyebrows. "Who are you then, huh? Come on, tell me. If you are not Hermione, then who are you?" 

"I am-" She suddenly stopped and gasped. "W-who am I? I-I don't know. I don't know who I am. What is my name? I don't know anything."

As she clutched her head, Draco took her hand in his, and sat down next to her on the bed, despite her attempts of shoving him away. "Relax, Hermione-"

"I am not your Hermione!"

"Okay, okay, you are not Hermione." He took a deep breath. "You are not her, and you are not playing any games. But please, just try to relax, okay?"

She snatched her hands from him and pulled her knees up to her chest. "S-stay away from me." She whimpered. 

"Please listen-"

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Hermione cried.

Draco knew he should have listened to her, but at that moment, he didn't care. He didn't give a damn about her attempts of pushing him away.

He knew he should leave her alone and call for a Healer, but he also knew that she was having a panic attack. He recognised the signs perfectly.

Draco slid closer to her and grabbed one of her hands in his, placing it on his chest. "Take deep breaths okay? Try to match your breathing with mine."

To his surprise, she did the same.

"Okay now, tell me five things you can see around you, right now." Draco told her.

"What?"

"Just do it. Tell me the find things you can see."

"I-I can....." Hermione took a deep breath. "I can see you, some books, a couch, blanket and a water bottle."

"Good." He smiled at her. "Now tell me the four things you can feel."

"Your touch, wind blowing through my hair, the bed I am sitting on, and a bandage around my arm."

"You are doing great." Draco encouraged her. "Now tell me three things you can hear."

"Your voice," She whispered, "Rustling of pages and birds chirping." She glanced at the open window as she said the last part. 

"Good good." He nodded. "Tell me two things you can smell." 

"Smell of books and-" 

Draco mentally rolled his eyes. Typical Granger, always focused on the books.
