[ ... ]

I think... that if you forgot me, I'd be really hurt. But... while you can be kind of blunt, you're not a bad person. [ She smiles a little, soft and sad. This is the truth. ] I know you must have had a reason. A really good one. And if that's the case... then I think you did what you had to. And that's okay.

...I could never forget about you. I'd never ask to forget you or my housemates. [Other people, sure, but he hasn't figured that out yet.] If I ever figure out what that reason is, I might let you know. I just have to figure out what they erased.

[ She looks at him in silence for a moment, her expression shifting subtly as that sinks in.

And then she just -- all at once -- approaches and hugs him, tightly. Relieved and sad for him all at once. ]

[He just reaches up to pat the top of her head, slightly awkward and slightly dazed.] What's this for?

I'm just glad. [ She says, muffled. ] Glad you wouldn't want to forget me... that means so much to me, Draco.

[hisdarkmark]

[Ah. Right...]

I have absolutely no reason to ever want to forget you, okay? And if I ever do, I give you full permission to slap me. Hard, even.

[ That makes her giggle quietly, and she releases him, stepping back. ]

Is that a promise?

[hisdarkmark]

[...and he remembers something strange, something someone must have shown him ages ago but gods he can't remember who. So. He's just going to extend his hand and curl his fingers into his palm except for his pinky.]

It's a promise if you want it to be a promise.

[ ... that makes her break out in this delighted smile, and she lifts her hand to lock her pinky with his. ]

Pinky swear!

November 22nd, action

[hisdarkmark]

Ah, so you are familiar with these. [He locks his pinky with hers, shaking their hands to seal the deal.] I'm glad I didn't just make myself look totally stupid.

[fourteen]

Of course! It's the most serious way to make a promise. [ Said with a quirk of a smile. ] Now I know you really mean it.

November 22nd, action

[hisdarkmark]

Xion, have you ever known me to say things I don't mean? [Another lopsided grin.] Trust me. I really expect you to hold me to that.

November 22nd, action

[fourteen]

No! [ She laughs. ] And I will, I promise.

So ... do you think you're going to be okay? [ re: the memories. ]

November 22nd, action

[hisdarkmark]

I guess we'll find out, won't we? [Truth be told, he's kind of terrified since he doesn't even recall asking for this.] I'll let you know.
