I remember the screeching tires, the shattered glass, the frightened screams.
I remember the blood coating my hands as I held my leg, the skin split and the pain numbing.
I remember being carried, the voices telling me that everything would soon be alright.
I remember the social services lady telling me that they were gone, that my only option was an orphanage.
I remember when she told me that they had left me with nothing.
I remember being relieved, not really caring.
I remember the adoption, a man and a woman, both kind and loving.
I remember the shopping, buying new clothing for the first time, and color contacts for my eyes.
I remember the house, quaint, in a good neighborhood with kids my own age that I could play with.
I remember the fire, taking my family of six years away from me again.
I remember my mother's screams, shouting out a name of someone I never knew.

I remember taking it.
I remember two years later when we traveled to that strange planet.
I remember trying to blend in, so I took off my contacts.
I remember the reactions I got from different people, some shaking my hand, others glaring.

I remember the small smile on his face when I completed my first potion and cast my first spell and my first trip on a broomstick.
I remember him looming over me in class, keeping appearances as usual.
I remember him healing me every time I got hurt.
I remember the day he adopted me, made me his son, his only family.
I remember the day my two worlds collided.
I remember fighting both my evil archenemies at the same time.
I remember winning.
I remember waking days later, covered in injuries and barely able to move.
I remember my father, eye patch covering a lost eye, raven hair messy from worry and strain.
I remember him helping me heal all over again.
I remember the funerals.
I remember the tears.
I remember the pain.
I remember a lot.

A/N: And I think I'll just leave it like that.
I have a bit of a challenge for you all. Name the other series and the two names. I will give you two hints. The other series is not from Asia. I have written for it before.
If you can guess both the character names, I will write you a one-shot in either fandom, any pairing, any rating.
