Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry challenge [Magical Theory] - pin-up, wheelbarrow, nail, cripple, pen
Crippled Memory
She could remember the time when she was younger, before Hogwarts, when she used to stick little pin-ups on her bedroom walls of whoever she had liked at the time or whatever she had needed to remember at that point. All those little notes scribbled down using a pen, ink long since faded had been thrown away to make space for the new world of magic and all the knowledge that came with it.
She could still remember those days when she had thought she was simply like everyone around her and had not cared about the broken nail while she helped her father cart around the wheelbarrow filled with fallen leaves. Her father used to stand there, looking amused but ready to help her should the need arise.
The Triwizard Tournament had changed her into something more resembling a girl. She started taking care of her looks more than she did before, making her mother extremely happy although she did often still help her father around the garden whenever she had the chance.
After today though, her parents would not remember any of that. They would not remember that they had a child they called Hermione. Only she would, she wished she did not have to do this but it was for their safety. One day she would return and give them back their memories but for now she was forced to cripple them and their memories.
She could only hope that it was only temporary.
