Remember Me, Forever and Always

Chapter 4

Italics(hi), are memories that Draco remembers.

Hermione's POV:

I recoiled.

Harry caught me.

"You don't remember who I am?" I asked.

"No. Are you my mother?" Draco asked.

"No, I'm not." I said.

"Draco, what happened?" I asked.

"Who's Draco?" He asked.

I burst into tears.

"What happened?!" I sobbed.

"I don't know. Who are you?" He asked, finally seeing Harry.

"I'm Harry." Harry said.

Draco nodded.

"Harry Potter?" He asked.

Harry's eyes widened.

"How do you know my name?" Harry asked.

"My parents were talking about you." He said, smiling.

Hermione stared at me through tear-filled eyes.

Draco's POV:

Strangers were surrounding my bed.

I could only remember my parents.

I had pressed an ear to their door.

"Harry Potter... He must be eliminated for the Dark Lord to rise." My father said.

"Yes. But where can we find him?" My mother said.

"I know where." My father said, surprising me by opening the door.

I gasped.

My father's eyes were filled with anger.

"What were you doing?" He growled.

"N..n..nothing." I stammered.

He sighed.

"Come with me." He said.

He led me down to the basement.

I knew what was coming.

The basement was where I got punished.

Sometimes the punishment didn't hurt that much.

Usually it was just a slap across the face.

Sometimes it was a punch or kick.

The worst was the switch.

That was what happened today.

My father took the switch out of the closet.

He struck it across my back twice.

I held back screams of pain.
