 I've hit a block, so this is actually only a half-chapter. Of course, it contains so much plot that it's almost tangible, and at least half of that plot is unplanned.

So much for planning stuff in advance.

As Amy stepped through the portrait hole, she had the nagging feeling that she was forgetting something. As she walked over to Harry and Neville, she tried to recall what she had forgotten. "Hey, guys?" she asked hesitantly. "Do either of you have a remembrall?"

Both boys glanced at each other, then gave her a strange look. "Yeah," Neville finally said. "I'll go get it."

Harry lowered his voice to a whisper. "Amy, are you okay?"

Amy nodded confusedly. "Yeah, I just have this–"

"Nagging feeling that you're forgetting something?" Harry cut in. "You were coming back from your lesson with Snape, and suddenly you couldn't remember what you'd been thinking about?"

"How… how did you…"

"Amy, this is the fifth time that this has happened in five weeks."

Amy turned white. "What? But… how come I can't… remember? If someone… That's it! Someone's erasing my memory! But… how?"

Harry glanced around cautiously. "I don't know. I just know that by this time tomorrow, you won't remember that we had this conversation. Someone's erasing your memory. We at least know that it wasn't a Gryffindor, otherwise Neville and I probably wouldn't remember, either."

"Whatever it is, it's related to the thing that you're not going to tell them until Ron and Hermione get back." Neville had returned.

"How do you know about that?" Amy glanced at Harry. Had he told Neville?

"I'm sorry, Amy, but after the third time or so, Neville was getting curious." Harry said apologetically. "I told him that you were going to tell us your 'big secret' once they got back."

Amy nodded, then sighed. "Might as well tell you two now, then. It's a rather complicated story…"

Harry and Neville listened in fascination as Amy told what she knew of the five founders, the branches, and the clues. She told them about the other six, and explained her lessons with Snape and Dumbledore. After a brief hesitation, Amy told them about her Boggart.

"Wow," Neville finally said. "That's a lot to take in."

Amy nodded tiredly. "And I have a feeling that there's more that I'm missing. Neville, can I see your remembrall?"

"If it's anything like the other times, it's going to turn bright red the minute you touch it," Harry muttered.

Amy took the remembrall, and it immediately turned a deep, swirling crimson color.

"Well, that was unexpected," Harry murmured after a couple seconds of silence.

"Hey, that's a really strange color for a remembrall." Oliver Wood, the Quidditch Captain, walked over. "The darker and more intense the color, the more you've forgotten. It only works on things part-forgotten, though. It won't work for complete memory charms." Completely ignoring the glances that the three were giving each other, he continued on. "Amy, could I talk to you for a minute?"

She nodded. Noting the suspicious glances Harry and Neville were giving Wood, she quietly reassured them. "I'll be fine," She whispered. "It's not a Lion, remember." Just in case, though, she slipped her wand into her hand as she followed Oliver out the portrait hole.

The minute the door shut, he whipped out his wand and started muttering a string of complicated Latin. Before Amy knew what she was doing, she had put up a shield charm.
