The Answer is a Riddle

Wiped Memory

~Third Person P.O.V~

Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months. Draco kept going to Esmeralda's bedside everyday, keeping it secret from Pansy. He always told her that he was watering a flower his mother gave him. Currently, he is there now with two notebooks full of Esmeralda's words.

~Draco's P.O.V~

How am I supposed to save her? We only have a few months until we home for the summer. I wish she could give me a hint. Oh she yes whispering again.
"Yes my princess?"
{Draco? Is that you my prince?}
"Yes I'm here." She squeezes my hand tightly
{I'm scared.}
"I'll protect you." I put a spell on my quill to write as we both speak.
{Promise me.}
"Promise what princess?"
{Promise to never leave me.}
"I promise my princess."
{Remind me how it feels to hear your voice my prince.} I stroke her face. As I have been coming here I have grown feelings for her. I think I might even love her.

*one month later*

"Princess, please tell me how I can save you." I'm getting desperate. I need to see your eyes. I miss you.
{You know what to do my prince.} Oh no, her breathing is slowing down. No princess, don't leave me.
"Promise to never leave me Esmeralda. Please don't go, I love you." I moved some hair out of her face and put it behind her ear.
"You're so beautiful my princess." I inch to her face and lightly kiss her soft lips. She sighs softly.

~Esmeralda's P.O.V~

"Please tell me how to save you." Don't cry Draco, I'm here.
{You know what to do my prince.} At least to hope you do I'm so tired, maybe I'll sleep for a little.
"Promise to never leave me Esmeralda. Please don't go, I love you." I'm here Draco my love. I feel like, are those your lip Draco, my prince.

~Draco's P.O.V~

She isn't moving. I drop my head into her lap crying my eyes out. She's gone. Then I feel someone stroking my head soothingly. I look up and make eye contact with Esmeralda.
"Don't cry my prince. I promise to never leave you."
"ESMERALDA!!!" I hug her tightly. She's back!!!
"Hey Draco?"
"Yes princess?"
"I love you too." She smiles.
"I will never leave you. Shall we go downstairs?" She tries to stand up but falls. I call the head master and he brings a wheelchair in for her. We go down to the Great Hall and she takes a deep breath.
"It smells nice." She looked down at her finger.
"It still have vines on it." I look at it too.
"ESMERALDA THANK GOODNESS YOU ARE BACK!!!" Pansy shrieks. But I see something weird in her eyes.

~Pansy's P.O.V~

How did she wake up? I will change that once and for all, I'll message her forget Draco forever. I have no choice.
"Welcome back miss Lavinia. You don't need to worry about your school work but you will need to stay with someone over the summer to help you catch up. Do I have any-"
"I'll do it." Two boys say in unison.
"Ah Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Riddle. I fear only one will be able to take her."
"I'll just stay over with Malfoy, I'll help her recover." Good, Riddle can keep her distracted but I still need to make her forget MY Draco.
"I suppose that's ok. You two boys are very kind." She forgets him tonight.
"Tomorrow you all will go home. Be safe." Good thing her is my roommate. Evil little Siren.

*In the dorm*

"You must be tired."

"I just slept the year away Pansy. . . why would I be tired?"
"We're you awake in your dream? Wait, did you dream?"
"I did." I pretended to be interested.
"What did you dream of?"
"I dreamt of an enchanted forest of weeping cherry willows. And as I was walking around I sat under one. Then I heard a voice."
"Whose?"
"It's not important. I was scared after I found out that I couldn't move. *sighs* I kinda wish I could forget it." This is perfect!
" I can help you. I know a spell." Those fifth year girls that taught me this spell are getting Christmas presents next year.
"Ok relax and think of what happened alright?" She takes a deep breath. Too bad her memory will be up to me not her ha stupid little Siren. That's what happens when you get in the between me and my Draco.
"Obliviate!"
"Wait-" too late!
"Forget Draco and all the things that happened to you this year." She sighed and faints/falls asleep.

~Esmeralda's P.O.V~

I hear singing, wait. . . I know this song, this is the song of envy. Who would be envious of me? I don't remember. Where is Pangur Bán, I'm scared.

*next morning*
I wake up feeling weak.

"Hey roomie how ya feeling?" It's Pansy, we've been friends for years. I'm glad it's her.
"I feel weak. What happened?"
"You tried out for Quidditch and got really hurt. You were asleep all year."
"Oh man. Do I have to get held back a year?"
"No, you're gonna be staying with my boyfriend and his cousin for the summer."
"Why not with you?"
"My family and I are going to Paris for the summer." Ah Paris, my home. I miss it.
"Oh ok then." We head down to the Great Hall and to our house table. Pansy goes towards a boy with super light hair and piercing gray eyes. I bet that's her boyfriend. Then a boy with curly hair and gorgeous brown eyes comes towards me. I remember him.
"Hi there. You are the boy that was nice to me in the beginning of the year. You never told me your name." He smiles at me.
"How rude of me. My name is Mattheo Riddle."
"My name is Esmeralda Lavinia. Nice to officially meet you." He grabs my hand and kisses it. I blush brightly. Then the boy with blonde hair comes over, Mattheo rolls his eyes.
"Hi Esmeralda, how are you feeling?" How does he know my name?

"Eh my head hurts but I'll live. So do you guys know who I am staying with over the summer?" I will finally know who these boys are and see who Pansy's boyfriend is.
"Umm with me." Said Pansy's boyfriend
"Don't you remember? It was decided yesterday that we were gonna take care of you." Said Mattheo.
"Yesterday? I don't remember yesterday. How hard was I hit during Quidditch try outs?" A dark boy behind Mattheo widens his eyes.
"Draco what's wrong Darling?" Said Pansy. It is her boyfriend.
"What? That's why I'm in a wheelchair. Isn't it?" I look at Pansy and she nods but her boyfriend and his friend didn't notice. It seems that Mattheo saw.
"Who told you that?" Asks the dark boy
"Why does it matter? I trust them." Mattheo comes over and whispers in my ear
"Maybe you shouldn't." I look into his chocolate eyes and blush again.
"If you'll excuse us-" Draco grabs Mattheos arm "-we have to make some preparations for your stay." And they rush over to the Headmaster. I look at Pansy and she just shrugs.
"Did I say something?" She shrugs again and goes over to her group of friends. The darker boy walks up to me.
"I didn't mean to upset you. My name is Blaise. Nice to meet you." He sticks his hand out and I take it.
"It's ok. I'm Esmeralda, it's a pleasure." He smiles and looks over at Draco and Mattheo as do I.
"You may not remember for some reason but that guy really cares about you."
"Which one?"
"I guess both." He says.
"I wish I knew what you were talking about."
"What I'm curious about is how you lost your memory."

~Mattheo's P.O.V~

What happened? The Headmaster will know. We walk over to him.
"Headmaster can we speak with you?" Draco says
"Of course."
"Esmeralda's memory had been wiped." I say
"How do you know."
"She doesn't know me and she thinks she got hurt during a Quidditch try out accident. I want my Esmeralda back." I glare at him.
"I don't think we should rush it Draco. It could be more damaging the helpful. What do you think Headmaster?"
"I agree. Don't rush it Malfoy and Riddle, make sure he doesn't. Just play along for now" Draco and I nod. Sadly, I want her back too. Although she remembers me, my cousin is the exception. Makes me laugh. I almost wish we didn't have to bring her memory back, he doesn't deserve her.
