Forget

Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to J.K Rowling.
Chapter Summary: Slowly, the world forgot.

The war had ended.

It had started slowly. Less and less articles about him in the Daily Prophet, until Rita Skeeter was the only reporter that ever wrote anything about him.

Some students would look quizzical when anyone mentioned his name, sometimes they would remember and sometimes not.

Even his friends seemed to forget about some of their adventures together. Some of them they would remember if he reminded them, others they had forgotten completely.

One day, even Rita Skeeter ceased writing about him entirely.

The teachers stopped noticing him in class. Only Snape would sometimes acknowledge him with a few cutting insults.

One day, the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws didn't remember a 'Harry Potter' anymore. Some didn't even notice that he was there at all. The ones that did notice him, had no clue who he was.

The Gryffindors treated him as just another student in their house and the Slytherins treated him as any other Gryffindor.

Even Draco seemed to have forgotten about the grudge he held for him, instead focusing his antagonizing behavior entirely on Ron.

It didn't take many days until even the Slytherins took no notice of his existence.

The Gryffindors talked to him less and less, until they too treated him as though he was invisible.

When Snape stopped noticing him when he was late to class, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Luna were the only ones to acknowledge his presense at all.

Slowly, Ron and Hermione spent more and more time together, letting their relationship blossom, until one day, when Ginny was talking to him, they asked her who was talking with.

That night, Ginny told him she loved him.

The morning after, she couldn't remember or see him either.

Luna would still talk to him, making her receive a lot of confused looks. People would sometimes ask her who she was talking with, and when she told them she was talking to Harry Potter, they just thought it was another piece of evidence that the girl was mad. After all, Lily and James Potter had died with no children of their own.
