2 #2: Hogwarts Express

"-fuck", I completed in awe.

We ran straight past the wall. Now my eyes were seeing the most beautiful scene it had ever seen.

As far as I remember.

"Will you move faster? If we miss the train we don't even have the flying car to help us", ginger no. 1 said.

"Flying car? ", I exclaimed yet again.

" Have you lost your memories or what?", ginger no. 2 asked

Certainly.

"Pranking on us, eh? Remember we were buddies, we don't prank each other"

The train whistled and kids started jumping abroad.

"C'mon", they shouted and started running towards the train.

Finally, after settling our luggage, we moved into an empty compartment as the train left the station.

I sat there awkwardly, staring at the landscape. Tears welling up in my eyes and my throat constricting as I tried to stop them from falling.

"Please stop the act now Athena", one of the ginger boy said.

"Am not acting. Will you please introduce yourselves, I don't seem to remember you", I said trying to maintain a steady voice.

" Yeah I am George and this is Fred", the guy in front of me said.

"Um.. George, where did we-", I started saying to the guy in front me.

"Seriously Athena?"

"Something's definitely wrong with her"

Now both of them were squatting sown in front of me looking worried.

"Do you remember your name?", Fred asked.

I nodded

"Athena Elsie Black"

"You say you don't remember anything, how come you remember your name? ", George frowned.

I took out the ticket from my pocket and gave it to him.

" Ok Athena, tell me everything you remember", George said.

"Umm... I was on the station. Actually I fell down because I was on the ground and my luggage was everywhere. And there was a nan who was asking me if I was alright. Then you guys came.... That's all I know"

I sighed.

"You might have a memory loss, do you remember hitting your head somewhere? ", Fred asked.

I shook my head slightly.

" I don't remember really, but it doesn't pain anywhere "

"She's been obliviated", George said, looking very serious.

" Ob.. Obliviated?"

"Why will anyone obliviate her?", Fred asked.

" I don't know George but this seems to be the only explanation", Geo-rge said.

Now I was much confused rather than being afraid.

"Wait.. aren't you George? ", I asked pointing towards the guy who had introduced himself as George.

" No Athena... It is our inside joke... I am Fred and he is George.... We like to confuse people so we always introduced ourselves the opposite.... You could easily make out who was Fred or George "

"I'm sorry", I spoke, my voice barely audible to myself.

" So you say you remember nothing? ", George asked again to which I nodded.

" Not even the pranks we played on everyone at school? "

"No", I shook my head.

" Your parents? "

"No"

"The spells?"

"No"

"Wait- you don't even remember that Fred's your boyfriend? "

I looked over to Fred, shocked, whose eyes were now as big as saucers as he stared at me.

"I am sorry, I don't remember anything... I am sorry Fred", I said as my eyes began to well up.

"Please don't cry", Fred sat beside me giving me a tight hug.

I hung onto him as my tears soaked his T-shirt.

"Athena I am not-"

But he never completed as the train came to an abrupt halt.

"What's going on? We can't be there yet", George said making his way towards the window.

"There's moving outside.. I think someone's coming on board", George said.

But as soon as he said that the lights began to flicker and the windows began to turn icy. The air became chill.

I scooted closer to Fred holding him by his arm.

"What's happening? ", I asked.

"Don't worry, just stay behind me", he said taking out a stick and holding it in front of him.

George copying his actions.

Something moved outside. Glided actually. I have never seen this creature. Black robes and hood.. It didn't had any eyes or nose... Just a mouth... It's hands were just bones.. And seeing it made me scoot closer to Fred as a I held my tightly than before, probably hurting him.

The thing glided closer and closer and it felt as if I was surrounded by gloominess everywhere.

Just then a light shone on it and it glided away hurriedly.

As soon as that thing was gone, the lights came back and the train started moving again.

"What was that?", I asked still clutching onto Fred.

" A dementor... Probably looking for Sirius Black", George putting the stick away.

Sirius Black.

I remember him.

He was someone.

Wait-

Am I related to him?
