Hermione's POV:

"Wait, so we shared a dorm?" I asked giggling.

"Yeah, you should have seen your face! I was so excited after all I was going to be sharing it with the most beautiful witch of her age!" (This line is made up by @myfriendtold me so credit to her!!!!!) Draco and I were both in hysterics; he was telling me anecdotes (an anecdote-as I just learned in English are short, Amusing recounts!!) about our relationship. It was funny and I loved hearing it, but I felt so upset at the thought that I'd missed out on all these beautiful memories.

"The funniest moment was your face when I came out with a really stereotypical breakfast in bed. You were practically scolding me for not being original! Then you decided to go along with the cliche and feed me forks of your pancakes!" Draco continued.

"Haha, yeah that sounds like me-I hate cliches however I seem to have a soft spot for some of them." I responded. It was so easy to talk to Draco, effortless and amusing.

The anecdotes began to die down and I stared off into the distance. There were so many questions buzzing in my head but I had no idea what to say. We were at La Luna-one of my favourite Italian muggle restaurants, there was an air of happiness, laughter, excitement and memories.

"We're we really in love?" I ask in a voice full of laughter as if to make it seem like an effortless question such as maths.

"Hermione; I don't know what love really is but to me it felt like it. I don't know how you felt but..." The sentence faded away and I noticed the mixed sincerity and nonchalance in his voice. The waitress approached us with our food and set it down on the table.

"Do you guys want anything else?" She asks with a very flirtatious smile. I feel myself getting rather jealous and I want to send a spell in her direction however I refrain and simply ask for butter beer.

The waitress gives me a puzzled look and I watch as Draco stifles a laugh.

"Oh, so sorry I mean a beer-I was thinking about butter and beer and I put it together!" I say with a smile. She gives me a weird look and winks at Draco.

"Can I get you anything?" She asks brushing his arm, her voice full of sugar and lust. My emotions are kicking into overdrive and I want to slap this girl really hard. However Draco ignores it calmly and asks for a beer as well, he also adds a 'that's all' after it, to show that he's not interested. I give a smile and the waitress walks off quite annoyed.

I eat some of the gnocchi and let the fluffy cloud melt in my mouth. Feeling absolute pleasure as I let the tomato sauce and gnocchi fill me. Draco twists the spaghetti in his fork and eats it, a look of delight comes across his face and I can't help but feel that I'd love to see that face more often. Draco and I have a complicated relationship, forgotten love, hatred and we are simply guarded by fears and judgment. At least I am anyway. I asked him to come as I wanted to talk to him to be friends, I can't help but feel like I'll cheat myself if we don't communicate. Somewhere in a lifetime maybe we were meant to be, however here it seems like a fantasy. Especially with that girl who was sitting next to him, he's probably moved on and doesn't want me interfering.

"Hey Hermione, by the way thanks for standing up for my mum and coming with me to the manor." Draco says.

"Oh, no worries. So that Mitchell Taylor guy the one from the ministry that's checking up on your mum (I wrote about him in the chapter Narcissas story!!! He was her first love and he proposed but instead she got married to Lucius!) was her first love before Lucius and they were supposed to get married?" I inquired.

"Yeah, maybe they can get married and my mum will no longer be frail and dependant on my loser of a father." Draco says happily.

"That would be good yes, Narcissa is a great person with your best interests at heart from what I've seen." I reply.

"Let's not talk about it anymore." Draco tells me as he gives me a smile.

The waitress comes past with our drinks, winking at Draco before leaving.

"Hermione, I need to ask you a question that has been on my mind for a while." Draco says. My heart starts to beat really fast and my breath gets raspy.

"Do you remember anything?"

I exhale and give a relaxed smile.

"Sorry Draco, I don't remember us; but I do remember seventh year and what I learned. I remember Stacey and everything that happened, in some memories you are there. In fact I can remember everything but us." I answer truthfully. In a matter of 0.3 seconds I see a flicker of hope and disappointment across his face. However now I'm wondering if I'm just seeing things. He looks casual as if it's just normal conversation.

"That's alright I was just wondering and making sure. Otherwise that would've been awkward and I'm sorry if you find this too soon, but I've moved on. Do you remember Astoria Greengrass she was a few years below us?" Yeah, I remember, brunette, intelligent, pureblooded and beautiful. And I hate her already, I'm jealous and I don't even remember being in love with him!

"That's great, because I've also moved on. I was hoping we could be friends maybe?" I ask lying because I haven't moved on, also because I'm not sure whether I want to be friends, I mean, I feel like I'm falling for him. But I can't, we obviously weren't meant to be so why should I continue this?

"Yeah, friends is good." Draco smiles. My gaze shifts elsewhere and I feel as if I've just made the biggest mistake of my life.

Draco's POV:

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I don't want to be friends with Hermione Granger. Heck not even friends with benefits, I want to be with her for the rest of my life. I'm not compensating with friends, I love her. Even though there are small changes in her personality she is still the same Hermione Granger on the inside and I love her. I can't even believe I brought up Assy! Assy is nothing in comparison to Hermione Granger. Hermione Granger has wit, intelligence, true beauty which is so rare nowadays and most of all she Hermione Granger. She definitely has her imperfections but to me she's perfect! I don't want to compensate with friends! But what can I do? She said she's moved on.

I take a swig of my drink and start to ponder. I want to do everything to win my Hermione Granger back. Everything. I have a test, if it works then I will fight for her. If it doesn't I'll let it go. After all if it was meant to be, the Hermione Granger I love will come back to me. I love my Hermione Granger.
