Chapter 7: A Forgotten Memory

The next evening Christina and Draco made their way to the RoR. Christina could tell that Draco was a little nervous, though he would never admit it. When they entered the RoR, everyone was already there, and Ron gave Draco a dirty look. Christina turned to Draco who had his famous Malfoy smirk plastered on his face. "Be Nice." She reminded him in his mind.

"So guys, Malfoy has been added to the prophecy. Mal-Draco write out your piece of your prophecy please."

Draco drew his wand and wrote his piece out in flames.

"So we all know what Draco is suppose to teach us. Has anyone got anywhere with Tori's?" When everyone shook their heads, Harry turned to Christina. "So you are doing yours today right?"

She nodded and stood up; she waited for Harry to sit down. "Today, I will be teaching you Occlumency. Which is keeping from reading your thoughts, and mind. Now what you got to try is to push me out of you mind, now while you push me out you will come into mine. So to do this you have clear your mind, and keep it empty. Now at first your mind will show me memories that you might be fond of. As I stay there and as you get frustrated it will start to show memories that you don't like. You should try to get me out of there without your wand, but if you have to hex me. Now for you Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Neville; I will have to use my wand to enter your minds."

"Why not them?" Ron asked.

"Because I have became so close to Hermione that by the first task our fourth year; I could make the connection without eye contact. And by the end of that year I was able to make it with us in our common rooms. And I have always been able to make the connection with Draco. And after finding out that they are my siblings, I have been able to make the connection as long as they are nearby. In fact sometimes I can make the connections with Hermione and Draco involuntary. For an instance I saw Hermione in the Department of Mysteries, and Draco get his Dark Mark."

"You saw that?" She heard Draco squeak as she turned to Draco who was transparent.

"Yes, actually it was quite disturbing. Anyway, I going to start with Harry, since he has done this before, and for the example I will use my wand. Ready Harry?"

Harry stood up in front of Christina and drew his wand. He stood there for a moment with his eyes closed clearing his mind, then he opened his eyes and nodded at her.

Christina raised her wand, "Legilimens."

Inside of Harry's mind she saw memories, not bad ones, ones that Harry liked. Christina chuckled quietly as she saw Hermione punch Draco in the nose. Then she saw a huge chess game. She could tell Harry was starting to get frustrated, because she saw a memory of Hermione petrified. Then getting caught by Umbridge. Then she felt Harry stiffen a little as Cedric's death went flying by. Then she saw Sirius's Death, and Dumbledore's and Harry had given up by then. She was about to get herself out of there for Harry's sake when she came upon a brick wall. At first she thought that Harry had blocked her mind, but then she knew they would be in her mind. As the brick wall came closer it blew up and a memory flew out, the memory was black with age, she could tell it hadn't been viewed before.

Christina watched a memory of a pretty redheaded woman try to ward off Voldemort. At first she thought it was Ali, it looked so much like her sister. Then the memory woman said something that shocked Christina.

"No, Not Harry. Take me instead."

Christina's eyes filled with tears as she watched Voldemort kill her mother and walk into the nursery.

Christina pulled herself out of Harry's mind. She collapsed onto the ground and started crying, and she could tell Harry was doing the same thing. Draco instantly was at her side trying to comfort her.

After about ten minutes Christina and Harry took shaky breaths, and then stood up. Christina looked around the room of shocked faces. She could tell everyone was wondering what had made the two cry so openly like that.

"We're done for tonight." Christina said in a whisper and walked out of the room with Draco on her heels. When she entered the head common room she went strait to her room and collapsed onto her bed.

She buried her face into her pillow; she wanted to forget the memory; though she knew she would have to live with it for the rest of her life. She felt Draco climb into the bed with her; he started to rub her back.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked quietly.

After about 5 minutes she sat up and looked into his beautiful concern filled silver eyes.

"You know that none of us remember that night? We remember parts of it; her screams, his laugh, and green light. I once asked Harry if he remembered that night, he said he remembers those pieces. But when he gets near Dementors he can hear her plead with him. And once he heard our father. Well today I saw all the murders that Harry has ever witnessed. Then I came upon a brick wall and it blew up, and the memory exited. Our mother's murder, ttthats what we saw."

By then Draco was rocking Christina in his arms. That was the last thing both of them remembered as both fell asleep in the bed.

A couple days later Christina was sitting at dinner with Draco and Blaise. She looked up at the bewitched ceiling that showed a full moon. Her thoughts went to her father who was transforming into Remus' once a month monster. She knew her dad was lonely without the other marauders, who use to transform with him; with the help of being Anamagi. Then it hit her.

"I got it!" Christina said.

The Great Hall instantly went quiet. Everyone looked up from their dinners and over at Christina at the Slytherin table.

She blushed slightly mumbled 'Sorry' and looked down. She made contact with her siblings' minds. "Head common room. Now! Bring the HA." Christina exited their minds, and dragged Draco from his dinner.

When everyone had entered the Heads common room. Christina instructed everyone to sit down.

"I figured what Tori is supposed to teach us." Christina said not making eye contact with anyone.

"Well, what is it?" Harry asked impatiently.

Christina turned to Tori, "What do you excel in Tori?"

"Quidditch, er… dueling…I'm okay in Potions…Defense…"Tori said.

"Transfiguration." Supplied Ali.

"Yes, Transfiguration. You are suppose to us how to be Anamagi." Christina explained.

"How did you figure that out?" Draco asked.

"Tonight's a full moon." She answered simply.

"Ok, Tori I want us to work on that a little next meeting. Christina bring Draco this week to DA." Harry instructed.

"What about Blaise?" Christina asked.

"He is on our side right?" Harry asked.

"Yes." Christina and Draco answered together.

"Ok, bring him along. Ok I think we are done. Though can I see Christina and Hermione really quickly?"

Everyone else got up to go finish their dinners.

"Ok, next week in DA, I was planning teach defensive spells like Protego, Impedimenta, and Incarcerous. Can you two do some research and find me some new ones? Since you both love the library." Harry said with a smile forming on his lips.

Christina and Hermione ran off to the library and after an hour they both exited with a huge pile of books in their arms heading for their separate dormitories.
