Harry was crumbled still on the ground, his head in his hands and Hermione rubbing soothing circles over his back.

:( I can imagine. I can't wait for the next part. I'm especially curious because i've never seen 50 First Dates.

Next part soon.

Very soon! Eeeck. I want to know what's going to happen!
Great job so far.

[mishaphappens]

Definitely see the movie, it is awesome - just the right touch of humor and angst. It's a lovely show.

Thank you for reviewing...again! It's great to see familiar faces, coming back to read and leaving a review once again. I'm really touched. ^___^

[hdxlover]

Oh i'll be back.
I'm stalking your journal like so many others.

I have a lot of sympathy of course for Draco, but really the character that killed me in this is Harry. They were naked, together, and since Harry is usually up before Draco, there was probably a reason why he overslept, like *sniff* they had a good evening/night before together.

For some reason, I just have this vision of Harry holding onto Draco at night, wishing that the morning wouldn't come, and that the whole horror of the cycle wouldn't repeat- and inevitably falling asleep. It just doesn't seem fair that Harry has had years of facing nightmares at night, only for his life to flipflop, and have the nightmare in the morning.

Three years of this? *heartbreaks all over again for both boys* I absolutely love amnesia/memory stories, so I can't wait to see where this goes.

It's not fair, you have me craving two stories from you (more Classic Stigmata! and Now- Just Another Recollection!)

[mishaphappens]

I'm working on both of them, I promise! ^____^

Wow, thank you for another great review. If it's any consolation, not every morning is a nightmare...Draco, sometimes, accepts the change graciously and takes it for what it is (the pensieves help). Other times, like this, he just completely freaks out and refuses to look into his stored memories. I decided to do the heart-breaking one...and then show everyone the next day the other side of Draco.

I'm having a debate about this story and your opinion would be lovely to have.

It ultimately decides how the story will go. Thank you for reviewing and I hope you take a look. ^___^

Have you, by chance, seen Memento?
This piece sort of reminds me of that, with the loss of short term memory.
I've not seen 50 First Dates, so I'm not sure the similarites there.

Poor Harry. I can't imagine the sort of stress this would cause...

-k.

Re: re: Recollection

[mishaphappens]

Nope, haven't seen Memento...I'm guess, is it a movie?

Since this isn't in Harry's pov, I guess I'll have to tell you...even though this seems very stressful, to Harry, is just is. I think he would rather live this life than not have any of this at all.

Thanks for reading!

It is a movie, yes.

Since this isn't in Harry's pov, I guess I'll have to tell you...even though this seems very stressful, to Harry, is just is. I think he would rather live this life than not have any of this at all.

That shows by the fact that he stays.

So I've been meaning to get around to reading this since Ru rec'd it (sorry I didn't before!). I haven't seen 50 first dates, but I know the general idea (and I did see Memento, which deals with the short-term memory thing).

First off, wow! I can't even say how bad I feel for both Harry and Draco. That Draco doesn't remember Harry, and wakes up hating him probably most of the time, is just heartbreaking. That Draco will go to bed everynight knowing he won't remember Harry in the morning, even moreso. *sigh* Oh what we do to these boys. I can't wait to see where this goes (and am so thankful that I get to read two more chapters now!)

[mishaphappens]

Thank you so much for reading! Another person mentioned Memento, but I can't say I've ever seen it. I better do that. ^_~

This whole idea came about with me talking to freaky_zero about handicaps that Draco could have. Soon, we were rolling around laughing about the possiblity of Draco having his short-term memory destroyed by Harry. It was funny, I tried to put some humor into the story, but it's not a very funny issue. I'm glad readers can realize that, yet also appreciate my attempts of light-heartedness.

Thank you for reviewing!

Ooooh this is so cute I'm loving it. Picked out a few tiny mistakes, the correction is bolded:
Potter and Dumbledore in starring roles
It affected your memory, my last spell
'cause then I'd be lying

And things I loved. The shrieking. I <3333ed the shrieking. I really really adore this first chap, can't wait to get on to the next few =)

And remember, if you ever need a beta I'm around! I miss reading your stuff!

[unsubtle]

Crap. I forgot to unbold. Sorry =\

[mishaphappens]

Thank you for reviewing (and beta'ing!)! You've been so quiet lately...I must find a way to make you loud again. ^___^ *smooch*
