Summary: Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.
I took this story with me to finish while I was away and I ended up reading it from the start.
This story is not an AU, it plays with canon. You see, in this fic Harry and Draco started their relationship back in the fourth year, during the Triwizard Tournament and were together for two years, up until the infamous scene in the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of sixth year, where Draco, not only break Harry's nose, but he also removes every single memory of the two of them together.
The story starts at Draco's trial after the war, when it comes to light that Draco erased Harry's memories of them, and then it shows you their relationship, how it started, how it evolved, how they fell in love and staged so many of their fights through Hogwarts. But then it comes the time when they have to face what Draco did, for Draco, erasing himself from the memory of the love of his life to protect him, and for Harry, having lost all those experiences, having loved and be loved, friendships made and everything it implied. Because there's no way to undo it, there's no way to bring those memories back, though the feelings remain, or in Harry's case, the inkling of those feelings, because as angry as Harry was at Draco, he was never able to stop thinking about him.
It's very dramatic, how they cope, Harry's emotions at having to face having no knowledge of what a huge part of his life Draco was for over two years and Draco having to live with that, not knowing how to make Harry understand, unable to even speak to him for so long.
It's really a journey, from those days when Harry couldn't even look at Draco, to finding forgiveness, be willing to forgive and be forgiven, making new memories and sharing old ones.
