A/N: Hello out there! I'm Ms Marauder98 and I hope you love what I've written. This story will be about 20 chapters, probably. To be honest, I have no idea how long it'll be, but 20 is a good guess. I'll try to update every Tuesday. Enjoy! Oh, and P.S. please leave a review!
Edit A/N: I just did this because I realised I had the date wrong, and it was bugging me. :D
Chapter 1: Pensieves and Potions
Hogwarts was incredibly boring every other Tuesday for me; it was the day when James had everyone at Quidditch. Normally, Tuesday weren't usually this boring because I had Lucy with me, but she had somehow managed to get herself a detention this Tuesday. We normally played Wizards Chess or talked, but, you can't exactly do those things alone, now can you? I could have, of course, visit Rose or Al, but that would have involved finding them, or I could have just gone to see Louis and Molly, but they were seventeen, plus Molly was generally snogging her boyfriend, Jack Wood.
I decided on roaming the castle. I'd been wandering the castle for about an hour, and had passed one hallway twice already. The third time I passed it, a door suddenly appeared. I pulled out the Marauder's Map, dad had given it to us kids, but only if we shared it. I got it every Tuesday, Thursday, and one other day of my choosing if I wanted it.
I slowly opened the mysterious door and entered. I looked up and saw engraved in the ceiling the words "The Memory Room". There was a Pensieve in the middle of the fairly well organised room, so I guessed what this all meant. These are all memories, I said to myself. Let's see whose memories I can find. Oh, what's that box over there? I opened the box's lid to find thirty or so potion vials. I picked up the one closest to me and read it. It said, "Lily Evans' Memories Fifth Year (Dec-Mar)".
Lily Evans? As in my Grandmum? I asked myself. Would it be invading my dead Grandmum, namesake's privacy if I were to look at her memories? Nah, it should be fine.
I fished through the box until I found the first vial. It read, "Lily Evans' Memories before Hogwarts".
Hmm, I thought to myself. I wonder what could have happened before Hogwarts to Grandmum. Let's see.
I poured the fluid into the Pensieve. This is it, I thought to myself. Holding my breath, I plunged into the Pensieve and witnessed my Grandmum for the first time, but certainly not the last.
