Alice Prewett: The girl who forgot

The next picture was of a girl with a round smiling face, who Lily thought looked very much like an older version of Ali Longbottom. The girl was looking sheepishly at the camera but her eyes were twinkling merrily. She was kneeling on the floor of a very messy bedroom, her blond hair slightly dishevelled and was hastily tucked behind her ear and out of her face.

---

There was a clattering of feet as the five sixth year Gryffindor girls raced to reach the common room first. It was a bit of a joke, racing down the stairs, but a tradition they'd continued since their first year at Hogwarts.

Alice Prewett was the first to reach the common room. She stopped abruptly at the doorway, causing her friends to bump into one another.

Mary looked curiously at her friend. 'What's wrong Alice,' she asked.

'Forgotten my things for potions,' she replied, then dashed back up to the dormitory. Her friends laughed.

'What's she like!' Marlene exclaimed

'You'd better go with her Lils, you're the best at sorting her out!' said Jennifer.

'And Old Sluggy wont mind as much if you're late,' added Mary.

'I'd better go,' Marlene told them. 'He'll give me detention if I'm late again this week.'

'You two go with her,' Lily told them. 'I'll help poor Alice.'

Lily hurried back upstairs to see how Alice was getting on. When she entered their room an amusing sight met her eyes. Alice had emptied her trunk of all its contents and she was frantically rummaging through her belongings. She had thrown her pillows off her bed and from the state her open wardrobe was in it was apparent she'd searched through that as well.

Lily picked up a camera that Marlene had left on her bed and took a photo of Alice as she looked up.

'Sorry.' She apologised. 'Couldn't resist.'

Then Lily noticed a cauldron filled with brass scales, a mortar and pestle and a potions making kit sitting on the window seat, slightly hidden by the curtain. 'Alice,' she asked. 'Is that yours?'

Alice glanced over to where Lily was pointing. 'Oh that's where I put it!' she exclaimed. Lily laughed and hugged her friend.

'Sorry,' Alice apologised as the two girls ran to the lesson. 'Hope I haven't, made you late.'

'It's alright. But why didn't you just use a summoning charm? Lily asked.

After a pause Alice replied, 'I forgot!'

If someone misplaced their charms text book; forgot the password for the Gryffindor common room; didn't bring a quill to History of Magic or lost their transfiguration essay it was Alice. She had always been a forgetful girl. But she had a heart of gold and a bright mind. Some where doubtful when she got engaged at the age of seventeen didn't think it would last. But even though she married after leaving Hogwarts, she fulfilled her dream of becoming an auror and had a family. She was one of the first to join the Order of Phoenix; never one to sit back and leave others to fight for justice. But in the end her courage and her refusal to give in to the dark meant that in the end she did forget, almost everything. But always a glimmer of her memory remained. Her story is a sad one, Alice Prewett: The girl who forgot

Then Lily realised why the girl had looked so familiar. A few years ago when Albus had got Dragon Pox and she'd been taken to visit him at St. Mungos. She had seen Neville visiting an old lady in the Permanent ward. Her father had told her that the lady was called Alice and was Neville's mother, and that she had lost her memory a long time ago. When Lily enquired as to why he had told her sadly that a death eater had tortured her. Mrs Longbottom had died last year. It was so awful, Lily thought to herself that people could be so cruel. Alice looked so kind and cheerful. Lily looked sadly at the photo and turned the page…
