Complicated

Chapter 68: The Trial

so apparently some of y'all were confused so lemme explain: he made her remember using the imperious curse, where the one who cast the curse can control the other person. therefore: using the mind control curse Damon made her remember everything just now.

i hope that cleared everything up ^^

Kathy's POV

Sept 12th, 2024

I remember who he is.

Damon Lovegood isn't someone I just met because he spilled coffee all over me.

He's my ex boyfriend. My first love.

"Are you alright?" Damon asked, his hands still holding mine.

I jerked my hands away from his and held my head, feeling pain at all the memories coming in at once.

The Poconos.

The first night back at Hogwarts.

Holy shit. Hogwarts. I'm a witch. 'The brightest witch of my age' to be exact.

I snapped my fingers together and gasped when a small flame erupted from my hand, and quickly clenched my fist to make it go away.

Bloody fucking hell.

Ow. I held my head, applying more pressure as more memories came in.

My parents: Malorie Granger and Draco Malfoy. War heroes.

My family. My friends. My cousins.

My ex-boyfriend, who is standing right in front of me.

Damon Lovegood.

The picnic: our first date.

Percy. He gave me Percy.

I touched the ring on my right ring finger. A promise ring.

Forever. The word rang in my head. We promised forever.

I promised forever.

My calf burned and I leaned down to scratch it, remembering the scar that's down there.

Lucius Malfoy.

I remembered the trauma, the pain, the torture, the bogarts. Everything.

"Kathy?" Damon approached me again but I pushed him away.

"How could you?! Why..."

"I had to! I... I can't handle this. I missed you so much and..."

"You selfish motherfucker!" I pushed at his chest, grabbing his collar and dragging him into an alley nearby. "You selfish fucking git! Why would you do this to me?! I didn't want to remember!"

"Me selfish?!" He yelled. "I am not selfish! You're the one who left without saying shit! I woke up and my girlfriend was gone! Come to find out: she erased her memories of me and everything else! So if anyone is selfish here, it's you!"

"You're the selfish one! You were supposed to respect my decision because it was my decision! I didn't need to remember the torture! I didn't need to remember the sexual assault! I didn't need to remember the pain! I didn't need to—"
