Memories from a Summer Day

by LydiaofNarnia

"But how would people remember me, after my death? I suppose that if I want to really determine that, one would have to look at my life. And while it was not a long life at all- in fact, just twenty eight short years- I can honestly and proudly say that, despite any hardships that I may hve had to endure, I led a very good life indeed." The full life of Mrs. Lovegood- sort of OC.

The last thing I felt was a burning sensation, all over my body. Every molecule seemed to explode at once, and from the very instant that I saw the blue flame rise up to consume me I knew that I was dead.

I couldn't die, I told myself. I had to live- I had to live for him, because he needed me to keep from going mad. I had to live for her, and I could hear her trying to reach me through the smoke and the rubble and ultimately the fire that covered me, searing and burning my flesh.

But I couldn't live. Darkness was engulfing everything, and I couldn't see anymore. I could no longer feel the pain, and I felt my consciousness fading. The last thing I heard before everything faded away into black nothingness was a terrified, haunted scream.

That scream. I had heard that scream before. I didn't know where, but I know that I had heard it… somewhere, long ago…

AN: This is not a chapter- not really. This is the prologue, so a prelude to the actual story. In this story I will attempt to elaborate on the character of Mrs. Lovegood, based on what we know of her from canon. Most of it, I will be making up, so this will basically be an OC. I will be running her (Karrie Lovegood, maiden name Donovan) through various tests to keep her from becoming a Mary Sue, and I will try to give her defined flaws. This is also my first time writing in first person, so it's sort of a grand experiment that could very well fail at any moment.

This does not mean I am abandoning my Les Miserables fanfiction- actually, this fanfiction will be updated a lot less than the Amigas.

Just a fair warning- there will be lots of interaction with Lily Evans and the Marauders. She will actually begin a romantic relationship with one Marauder. If you have a problem with this, then this probably is not the story for you. Also, there will be Peter. Karrie will be a friend of Peter. If you have a problem with this, then too bad, because I will also be elaborating on the character of Peter. There will be no Peter-bashing in this story.

Please no hate, and constructive criticism is very welcome. Thank you! -Lydia
