Memory
)O(
At the end of August, Lily sat down to practice some spells, to refresh her memory for the next year. But try as she might, she couldn't make so much as a spark pop from her wand. She was nearly in tears when she heard Teddy's voice from the doorway.
"Want some help?"
"I just… can't remember how to do it." Lily looked at her wand, perplexed, as though it had betrayed her.
"Yeah…" Teddy said quietly. "Sometimes things like that happen. Especially when we… aren't feeling too well."
"I'm not ill."
"I meant…" Teddy paused, tilting his head. "Emotionally."
