Forget and Not Slow Down

Prologue

"Who was that girl with your friend?"

"Which girl and which friend?"

"The friend with the scars on his face… the blonde girl. Who was she?"

Sirius smirked. "That would be Emmeline. Apparently she's something like Remus's sister… like her parents died and left her to Remus's parents. She's the same age as you. Why?"

"Just wondering."

Months apart didn't hinder Sirius's ability to know when his brother was lying.

"I'm sure."

"She's pretty."

"There it is," Sirius muttered. "Well apparently, she's nice, like you. I think Peter's already planning your wedding."

"Shove off. And to think I missed you."


Author's Note: This entire thing – it's not properly a story, I don't think – goes along with Disenchanted and will make a lot more sense if you read that first. These chapters will be in non-sequential order. This may not be updated regularly, and finished abruptly, but it will be updated.

Rating: T (for later chapters)

Characters: Regulus Black, Sirius Black, Frank Longbottom, Alice Prewett (Longbottom), Marlene McKinnon, Caradoc Dearborn, Emmeline Vance, Remus Lupin, James Potter, Lily Evans, Severus Snape, Bertram Aubrey, OCs

Story Years: 1971-1979

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, Neville would be the main character and Regulus would have lived. And Neville's parents wouldn't have been driven to insanity. And Lily would have married Remus. So Harry Potter wouldn't even exist, technically. And Lily and Remus would be alive. And Neville would marry Luna rather than that blasted Hufflepuff Hannah Abbott. And – well, just be assured that I don't own any characters that you don't recognize. As a matter of fact:

I own: Lizzy Prewett, Brendon Poe, Gerard Rush, Antoinette Bellerose, Ashley Ellington, Meissa Montague, Aza Montague, Castor Vane, Pollux Vane, Demelza Bones, Karen Abbott, and most of the characters that you don't recognize. (Don't worry, most of these OCs are very minor.)

Also: Yes! I'm alive! After months of not updating! And I swear, I am working on my Neville oneshot; this is just what my Regulus one-shot has become.

Oh Yeah, and: Title credits belong to Relient K, because I'm terribly unoriginal when it comes to coming up with titles. And I'm sorry that this is longer than the actual prologue.
