It was eerily similar to what happened to Gildory Lockhart, how some pieces stayed in place (her parent’s fascination with teeth) and yet they remained unknowing of her, and their life. The healers had assured Hermione of their care, and that with time and her visits they did stand a chance at regaining their memories. But progress has been nonexistent and she had felt the last of her hope leave her on Christmas, when she brought all their favorite foods from London and they had not enjoyed them. And always the same question, "Who are you dear? My, you seem familiar!" They made no new memories, and could not tap into the old.
