Saving Brothers

Chapter 24: Not Knowing

Hermione woke up the next morning groggy and dazed. She looked around and realized that she was in the hospital wing. Hermione turned her head to face Remus sitting there reading a book. She smiled at him and said,

"Hello Remus, how long have you been here?"

Remus looked up and said,

"Not that long. I did not have a class this block and I told the others that I would sit here with you so that you would not be alone."

"Thank you Remus. How long have I been asleep?" She asked looking around the room.

"For a few hours. It is almost lunch time. But that's alright. You need your sleep. How are you feeling?" Remus asked.

"I am better." Hermione said sitting up.

"Do you remember anything?" He asked.

"Not really, it's all foggy. Like I told you yesterday, the only thing I can remember is dragging myself to the Gryffindor common room. Everything else is foggy after and before that." Hermione told truthfully.

Remus just nodded and did not bring it up again. Hermione and Remus just sat there quietly reading their own books. Hermione enjoyed the peace and quiet but of course everything perfect must come to an end sooner or later. They heard the doors of the hospital wings swing open and Sirius screaming,

"Honey were here!"

Hermione looked up at him and just rolled her eyes at him. He was one of the most loud and obnoxious person but that is what made him, him. Hermione just smiled as he walked over to Remus and her. He sat down in the other chair beside her bed. The others came in and Lily said,

"Black can you be any louder? I don't think the other half of the school heard you."

"I could be louder. Do you want to hear?" Sirius said about to scream even louder.

Hermione covered his mouth before he could yell.

"Let's not try. I don't feel like having my ear drums blown out. Thank you very much." Hermione said smirking.

"Awwe Mione. I would never do that to you." Sirius said flirty.

Hermione paused for a second. She had not heard anyone call her Mione since they were in the future. The only people that called her that were her closest friends from the future. It brought back a lot of memories.

"Hermione, earth to Hermione." James said waving his hand in front of her face.

"What?" Hermione asked confused.

"Lily asked how you are feeling. But I guess we caught you in lala land." James said smirking.

"I am better. Before any of you ask if I remember anything. Like I told Remus, everything is foggy and the only thing I can remember is coming to Gryffindor common room and waking up here. That is all. I do not remember the attack at all." Hermione sated with a sigh.

"That's alright Hermione. It's normal for people to not remember the attack. They just block it out." Lily said giving her a reassuring smile.

"But that's the thing. I don't forget that stuff. I remember everything that has happened to me in the past. I wish I didn't but I do." Hermione started to rant.

The Marauders looked from each other to Ginny. They did not know what to say or do about it. Hermione huffed and said,

"I know that Ginny told you that I was attacked before I got here. Don't look at me like I am a fragile china doll." Hermione said looked toward the Marauders.
