The First Hello

Memory Blocker

Mary

Mary felt like she was going to pass out. Like she was going to die. "That- no- witches aren't real."

Mary could barely hear what her friend was saying. All she could make out was, "Mary, calm down, please."

"How are you not freaking out?" Dorcas gave her a guilty look. "Unless-"

"I'm sorry. I never wanted you to find out." The next thing Mary knew, she was waking up with a bunch of people surrounding her.

"What the fuck did you do!?"

"It wasn't my fault! Reg was the one who said it!"

"You guys can't just say that!"

"We never tried to get her memory back for a reason!"

"Yet, you still kept tabs on her!?"

"I wanted to make sure she was safe!"

"Lily wouldn't have even let her go that easily!"

"Lily has nothing to do with this!"

"Lily has everything to do with this! Lily was the love of her life! Just because you got to marry your love of your life doesn't mean everyone else did!"

"Cas, calm down."

"Marls died before I told her I loved her." Mary heard sobs. "How could I ever live with myself after that?"

Mary felt the urge to go and comfort her friend even though she lied to her. Yet, she still got up and hugged her. Dorcas leaned into the touch, and Mary could feel like she knew her better than anyone. Like they've known each other since they were little.

"Why is Mary in the living room?"

"How do you even know who that is?"

"Harry. I've been over at the Potter' house long enough to know who all the people are in the photos."

"Wait, did he say Potter?" Mary heard herself ask.

"Yeah."

"Aren't they the people who mysteriously died?"

Mary heard someone scoff. "Mysterious, my ass."

"Harry."

"What? I didn't say anything."

"Well, I mean, at least they caught Peter and put him in azkaban instead of Sirius."

"Who the fuck names their kid Sirius?"

"Ok, now that's just rude. My whole family is named after stars, so you can shut the fuck up."

"Still being a bitch to your best friend, I see."

"My best friend is dead."

Someone cleared their throat. "Oh, sorry, Moony. I married my second best friend, and my former best friend is in azkaban." Mary felt herself fall to the ground.

She started to have flashbacks.

"Marls! Lils! Cas! Panda! Have you seen what the Mauraders have done?"

"If I didn't know that I should avoid the Slytherin common room, I would have been a victim." A girl with blonde hair and colors on the ends said.

"I'm assuming Cas told you." A girl with red hair asked.

"Oh, come on, Lils, Dorcas would be in that trap if it wasn't for me. James loves me too much for me to get trapped."

"You might have been best friends since you were five, but that doesn't mean he loves you more than Regulus."
