Slowly Regaining My Memories

Why does he want to know that?

"Umm maybe a few times I guess I …I'm not sure, why?"

"Nothing Honey, just a thought."

"Oh and another thing only the people in this room knows this me. My other followers do not so don't be afraid if my attitude changes quite suddenly."

Before I could ask another question a guy I recognized as McNair stumbled in.

"What was so important McNair?" His voice was no longer soft and but cold and harsh.

"It is about the assignment master." He said while looking strangely at me.

I watched as my father looked from him and then to me. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"What about it?" he asked as he looked back at him.

"We found out that Dumbledore has placed a sort of protection charm on her and she won't regain the memories as fast as we had hoped. She will regain them slowly in dreams, flashbacks where she will faint and be out of it for a few hours at a time." McNair explained.

I had so many questions swimming around my head that I was starting to feel dizzy and light headed.

"I thought that might be the case, thank you McNair. Misty show him the way out."

I waited until he was gone before saying anything.

"Um I'm not feeling too well can I please be excused?" I couldn't stand the worried look he was giving me so I avoided his eyes at all costs.

"Of course, the room you were in when you woke is yours, can you find your way back?"

"No, probably not." I mumbled looking at my lap fiddling with my hands.

"Draco can you show her the way please and stay with her, we need to talk about some things down here."

"Yes sir." Draco stood up and bowed slightly.

"Thank you Draco."

I watched Malfoy before standing up. I followed him up three sets of staircases until we reached the room I had come out of. I opened the door and walked in and I heard him follow because the door shut behind us.

I sat on the bed thinking about everything I've been told in last couple of hours. I was feeling sick. Whether it was from the excitement of the day, I wasn't sure but all I wanted to do was lie down and sleep.

"Still trying to figure out if this is all a big joke?" I looked up from where I had been staring I had forgotten that Malfoy was still in the room. I smiled slightly before replying to his question.

"I guess, I'm still confused. Why are you being so nice to me? At Hogwarts you were so mean calling me names and everything." I asked him it was one of the questions that had been in my mind since I got here.

I watched him intently waiting for an answer. He sighed and came to sit down on the bed with me.

"The whole me being mean thing was a cover up, your dad told me to act like I didn't know you and everything. I hated calling you names believe me, so did Blaise and the rest of the Slytherin's. I'm really sorry Maddie." He explained as he looked at me.

I looked back at him finding myself believing everything he said. I nodded my head showing that I understood.

"Oh. Why did Blaise and the other Slytherin's hate teasing me? They didn't seem to care."

"Blaise is your cousin, your mum and his dad are siblings. And the Slytherin's well we all know each other and have known each other since we were born basically. We were all friends with you when we were little and unlike you our memories weren't wiped." He finished a cheeky grin that I didn't know Malfoy had.

I rolled my eyes and lay back against the bed and closed my eyes trying to calm the sick feeling in my stomach. I felt something poke me and I opened my eyes to find Malfoy looking over at me. I glared at him and went to roll over but he poked me again.

"What?" I asked in a slightly grumpy and annoyed voice.

"I'm bored." He said as he poked me again. I rolled my eyes and looked at him.

"Well go find something to do." I said as I slapped his hand away, which was going to poke me again.

I watched as he smiled slyly at me as he started to tickle me while answering me.

"I already have and it's so much fun too."

I was rolling around trying to get away from him laughing and holding my stomach which was starting to hurt from laughing so hard.

'Go...go a... away. Stop it… Malfoy please...stop." I struggled trying to get my words out but he still didn't stop. I was gasping for breath now I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard and I was crying from it too.

"I'll stop only if you stop calling me Malfoy my names Draco, remember." He said as he watched me writhing around trying desperately to get away from him.

"Ok…ok but…please stop…I…can't breathe…Draco." After I said that he finally relented and stopped attacking me with his fingers.

"Thank you." I said as I tried to sit up but only fell back against the bed again. I looked up and found him grinning at me again.

"Don't look so pleased with yourself." I said as I started to poke him but I guess Quidditch had done well for him because he was able to move away from me so quickly and started poking me again.

"You've gotta be quicker than that Miss Riddle." He said in a funny sort of accent as he stopped poking me.

"Hmm I guess so." I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Soooo Madison Lee Riddle. What are you going to do when you get back to Hogwarts?" I looked at him strangely. Why would he ask me that question?

"I guess what I normally do. You know hang around with Harry, Ron and Ginny and the rest of the Griffindors. Why?" I noticed he too gave me a strange look and I wasn't sure if I had said the right thing now.

"You know Maddie you can't do that anymore. Once we go back to Hogwarts again you'll be re-sorted into Slytherin and the Griffindor's won't know who you are. Your father's got some sort of a plan.''

thank you to everyone who read and I hope you like this chapter.
All I have to say is please V&C!
