AN: Dedicated to sbeegee, whose post on dementors inspired this drabble. Too bad I failed on the humor front, eh?


Contrary to popular belief, dementors were not heartless beings. They thought it was quite lovely that humans possesed many happy memories to selflessly share with others. Despite such blessings, however, the silly creatures continued to live a wretched existence--always cowering in some corner and pleading for an end.

The dementors' sole gift was an answer to those prayers; so they couldn't understand why, after the War, they were condemned for giving people the luxury of forgetting.
