Memories

An AU story about Fenrir Greyback, written for Astronomy Class at Hogwarts.

The first memories that Fenrir Greyback had, and could fully remember, concerned 'VE Day'. Despite the fact that he'd only been fifteen months old at the time, he recall being told by his mother that the Second World War was over, and that Daddy would be coming home.

His sister, Lilian, who was only older than him by two years, asked, "Second World War! When was the First?" Their mother said, "It started in 1914 and ended in 1918. Your Grandfather Phil served in it, which is why he walks with a limp."

The celebratory party for the safe return of his father, lasted for days and was one of the best parties Fenrir had ever attended, and remembered.

His second memory was the first time his Accidental Magic gave way. He had been three and a half at the time, and Lilian was annoying him.

"Fenrir, please come and play with me." She said, and her brother said, "No." In the space of half an hour, she asked him at least fifty times to play with him.

Furious, her young brother stood up, his eyes blazing. "I said no!" He shouted at her, making her cringe. "Now leave me alone, or so help m-" He cut himself off, when he realized that his sister was not his sister anymore. He'd somehow succeeded turning her into a toad.

His parents were able to reverse the magic, and told their very confused son that he was a wizard. Lillian then asked if she was a witch, and her parents said "Yes."

Fenrir had many more memories, but his most important ones were days such as when his Hogwarts letter came.

He remembered seeing the important-looking owl that was tapping on his window, and he screamed out, "Mother! Father! My Hogwarts letter has come."

Soon after this, he and Lillian departed for Hogwarts, where he was sorted into Slytherin, much to his sister's delight.

"Well done, Fenrir." She said, as another student was sorted into Slytherin.

His first class ever was Defence Against the Dark Arts, but despite how clever he was, it couldn't save him from the monster that destroyed him in Third Year.

He had many other Hogwarts related memories before his first Hogsmeade visit, including the amazing dancing skelletons at Halloween which provided the entertainment.

Some of the skelletons waltzed, and others played music on trombones, much to the delight of the teachers and students.

In Second Year, Fenrir's favourite memory was the one where he had found a girlfriend. Her name was Lucy, she had black hair and sharp emerald-green eyes. They had properly met in Potions class, and she saved his Forgetfulness potion when Charles Potter had done his best to sabotage it.

Fenrir had leaped away from his spitting cauldron, and Lucy, being one of the best potion making students, had rushed over to help.

"Thanks," he said, looking relieved that his potion had reverted back to normal colour.

"It's alright," the girl said, and held out her hand. "I'm Lucy Carastairs, who are you?"

"Fenrir Greyback," he grinned at her, and said, "Would you like to sit with lunch?" as he decanted his potion into a vial.

Lucy considered this, and replied, "Yes."

In his Third Year, Fenrir Greyback became a werewolf with no human feelings, even when he was human. His memories of Childhood vanished forever, and he never remembered that he had a family or a girlfriend.
