Memories Forgotten and Found

GN: Hello and Welcome to a new adventure into the realms of fantasy and adventure! My name is Gemm and I will be your translator between this world and ours. I would like to welcome all newcomers and all returners from the original story "A Memory and Ten Years Forgotten", which can be found through my profile. This story promises to be one of turmoil and heartache, during which observers and translator may be ridiculously confused, angry or sad. Fasten your seat-belts and hold onto your keyboards, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything that is taken from that series. I also do not own the initial idea that set the ball rolling, which is the story of Anastasia (the version which inspired me was the 20th Century Fox Animated Movie). I also do not own anything that even reminds people of novels by Tamora Pierce, even though the concepts for Healing and generic magic were inspired by her. I also do not own any of the lyrics or songs which inspired each individual chapter.

GN: On a second note, each of the chapters is inspired by either a song or a specific line from a song.
I challenge thee to decipher the song and be the first to guess it.


Chapter One: I Heard the News Today, Oh Boy

Lily Evangeline Marie Evans was desperately hanging onto her Grandmother Marie's hand as they ran. Farther and farther; as far away as possible from people wishing them harm. As they were racing, Lily lost her footing and two long, bony, pale hands seized their opportunity.

"Grandmama!" Lily screamed as her small grip on the hand of her cherished grandmother's was severed.

"Lily!" Marie turned around, frantically looking for the tiny redheaded child in the near pitch-back forest.

Lily screamed as loud as her little lungs could. "Let go of me!"

Marie, pinpointing the sound, sprinted over to her. Upon reaching Lily, she grabbed her flailing hands and pulled as hard as she could in an attempt to release her young granddaughter from her captor.

"Let her go!" Marie yelled to the owner of the hands.

"Let me go please!" Lily pleaded, struggling to free herself.

"You'll never ever, escape me child, never!" A man, the Dark Lord Voldemort, sneered at her.

Lily kicked hard at where she supposed his face was and caused Voldemort to release his grip.

For an odd reason, various trees surrounding the fighting humans pulled Voldemort away from Lily and Marie. The two ran out of the forest, trying to latch onto an available portkey that would take them out of Karlieh. Lily lost her desperate clutch on her grandmother's hand as Marie reached a center of a portkey.

"Lily! Take my hand! Hold onto my hand!" Marie yelled over the immense amount of people who were trying to escape from the Death Eaters.

"Don't let go!" Lily yelled back, and then screamed as a fresh flow of people separated her from her grandmother. The force of the flow of separation caused Lily to hit her head on the cement platform-and everything went black.

"So many lives had been destroyed that night. What had always been, now was gone. You cannot know the meaning of Forever until you have lost everything. And I fear myself, that my Lily-my most beloved grandchild- I fear that I may never see her again."
