4 #4: Re-knowing Everyone

"Good evening dear, I see you've bought Mr. Weasley with you", professor Dumbledore asked as we entered his cabin.

"Woah... Your cabin is amazing!", I exclaimed looking everywhere.

"Why thankyou Ms Black but it's not the first time you are coming here", Dumbledore spoke walking in front of his desk.

" Um.. Professor", Fred started. "Something's wrong with her. We think she's been obliviated"

Fred's words were encountered by a puzzled expression by Dumbledore.

"Perhaps if you can tell me the whole story Mr. Weasley"

Fred told Dumbledore everything from whatever I had told him, Dumbledore's expression remaining very grave.

"Ms Black, do you remember that man who was checking up on you?"

"Umm... I think so. But why you ask? He was just checking up on me"

"After obliviating you, he might have put up an act to check whether the spell worked", professor said.

" Umm now that I come to think of it, I am sure he smirked at me before leaving", I spoke remembering the evil smirk that man had given me.

"But professor, why will anyone obliviate her? ", Fred asked, concern laden in his voice.

" I am afraid my dear but I think a small secret that I and Ms Black shared had been revealed"

"What secret?", we asked in unison.

"Ms Black here, had a complete knowledge of what was about to happen to Harry Potter and Hogwarts and how the Dark Lord shall be defeated", Dumbledore said.

I and Fred stood there in shock.

I knew how to defeat Voldemort?

" Professor, If I had known how he must be defeated then why haven't we already defeated him?", I asked

"Because my dear, we can't disturb the timeline. If we play with time then it might destroy us. Moreover, the Dark Lord is somewhere we can never go...not at the moment atleast"

"Then, you do know how to defeat him when the time comes, right? "

He shook his head.

"At the start of every fresh year, you would come to me and tell everything that's about to happen in the following year. I know nothing of what's to happen this year or the coming years"

Fuck.

Great.

I am so intelligent.

"If someone from the Dark Lord's side have obliviated you", he began again "then I am sorry to say dear, but you are in grave danger"

"She has lost all her memories... Why is she in danger now?", Fred asked.

"Which is why Mr. Weasley this conversation between us should remain between us", he said looking between us.

When we nodded, he started again

"She may recall bits of her memory if she sees/hears a certain thing. But stuffs of recalling anything shouldn't be passed to anyone except for your most loyal friends and the fact that she had known the future shall not be revealed to any single soul outside this cabin"

We nodded again.

"Mr. Weasley I would ask you to show her around the castle and also try to teach her spells that she had learnt in her first two years.. And Ms Black, you would gather all the theoretical knowledge by yourself"

"Professor what about my parents?"

"Mr. Weasley shall explain you everything. But you need to remember that people will misjudge and bully you for who you are. And I want you to be extremely careful as we have a killer on loose"

"Why will people misjudge or bully me?", I asked in a very low voice.

"As I said dear, Mr. Weasley her shall explain you everything. Now it's not good to be out of bed past curfew so you both shall return to your common room"

**********

"Fortuna major", Fred said the password and the potrait of the fat lady swung open to reveal a passage leading to thr Gryffindor common room.

George, Ginny, Harry, the red head boy and the bushy haired girl were sitting in the common room. As soon as they saw us, the bushy haired girl jumped up on me engulfing me in a very comfortable hug.

"Ginny told us about your memory loss", she said pulling away. "Dont you remember any of us?"

"I am sorry guys...but i would be glad if you guys gave an introduction...its very hard roaming around knowing no one and always clinging onto Fred"

"I dont mind though", Fred shrugged taking a seat on the couch.

"I am Hermoine Granger...we are in the same year...and we share the same dorm..and i am a muggle-born"

"You certainly dont have to mention that"

"I am Ronald Weasley", the red haired guy said "I am also in the same year and their brother", he said pointing towards Fred, George and Ginny.

"Wow is all of your family here?", i joked.

"Not really...Our elder brother Percy Weasley is a the head boy and Charlie and Bill have already graduated", Ron spoke as a matter of fact.

"Wow, you have a big family"

"I am really glad..this is the first time someone doesnt know me", Harry spoke coming forward. "I am Harry Potter...same year...we were...are good friends"

When Harry mentioned his name a jab of pain shot again in my head and i winced a bit but no one noticed it.

No one except Fred.

"Nice to meet you all..just bear me for few days, i'll learn everything very fast"

"oh C'mon", Hermoine said as we all made our way around the couch.

"Athena.. I will give you a tour around the castle tomorrow evening after classes", Fred said

"Sure"

"And your three... Don't leave her not even for a moment.... You leave her when you spot me or George"

"Aye captain Fred", Hermoine said giving him a fake salute.

"By the way... Will you tell us when you two got together?", Harry asked.

"Before Summer break.. After you rescued Ginny from the chamber of secrets", George piped in.

Chamber of Secrets?

I know this too.

"Ooo.... This remained quite a secret frrom us all summer", Ginny said.

"Okay guys....a serious question....do you guys know anything about my parents? And why did professor Dumbledore say that I will bullied or misjudged?"

"Dumbledore said that? When?", Hermoine asked.

"I got a note from him at dinner...Fred took me"

"Why did he call you?", Harry asked.

Oops.

" To talk about her father. But then I told him that she lost her memories. Then he asked to look after her every time with all these things going on", Fred said.

My Knight in shining armor.

"Back to my question then. My parents?"

"Athena... We don't know about your mother...she died when you were an year old along with Harry's parents.... And your dad...", he sighed.

"Is Sirius Black"
