Enchanted Memories


ok so it took a while for me to go from Teaser to story. Sorry about that. Heres the first chapter! Usual Disclaimers apply.


She stared at the gates that stood between her and her long ago home of Hogwarts. She let her thoughts drift back for a moment before shaking herself and entering the grounds.

Soon she found herself outside a familiar door. She hesitated for only a moment before continuing on.

"Lemon Drop"she whispered and walked into Dumbledore's office. She was surprised she still remembered the password.

The old man in the chair turned and she watched his features go from calm to joyous.

"My dear my dear! How are you?" He quickly got up and hugged her.
"I'm doing well professor, and you?"
"Im wonderful...but...how.."
She put up a hand to stop him.
"A year ago I left him.....but I know I really left years before that. I went to him and demanded to leave. Of course he wouldn't just let me go. There was much pain. But, I never relented so we struck a bargain. I got my freedom but not before he could curse me. He wanted me to be scarred for life, more than I already had been. But he didn't get to finish. He was too weak. It was after the TriWizard tournament. He didn't get to finish it completely. So there is a chance I could reverse it."

"The ministry helped me with it. They gave me this charmed amulet."
She removed the amulet to reveal her curse.
"Im so sorry dearest. This place was and always shall be your home if you wish it. How would you like to teach here? I need a DADA teacher at the moment."

She thought a moment, carefully considering each pro and con, but ended up giving in.
"Id love to."
She put the amulet back on, her curse disappearing from view.
"But I just want you to know before you stumble upon it yourself that someone else is here. Im sure you'll remember him and no matter what this person told you or what anyone has had you come to believe he IS on our side."
She didn't even have to hear him say his name.

She sighed and rubbed her temples.

"Well then, now That's settled. Lets get you to your rooms then?"

She nodded in acceptance and followed after him.

That afternoon, she took to creating a lesson plan. She was very excited at the prospect of teaching the 5th year students. They would get to learn some fascinating things this year. She smiled to herself. After putting away her materials she realized she needed to brush up a bit on her studies.

She walked through the corridor to the library to get a few books when she saw someone she had hoped she wouldn't have to face quite yet.
"Severus Snape"she breathed.
He spun around at the sound of his name and stared in shock.
"Enchantra Wellington."he barely whispered.
