Hermione wasn't crazy. She knew that just as she knew how to inhale and exhale. For the vast majority of the time, she was completely coherent and her mind worked just as it should. Yes, the periods of confusion and disorientation seemed to be getting much more frequent and perhaps even a bit worse in their intensity, but she was not crazy. Thoughts about her parents and whether or not they were dead or alive came suddenly to the forefront of her mind. When she stopped to try to work out the answer to the question of her parents" fate, she struggled to separate reality from lie. Somewhere deep inside her mind, she knew the truth. Why wasn't she able to remember which it was? Flashes of memories, either true or false, of spending time with her parents with her small family mixed in with memories of learning they were dead. Why was it not possible to determine which was true? The answer had to be locked away in her brain.
