No one ever said that forgetting everything would be easy. Sometimes your life pursues you and you can't escape it. Maybe that's precisely the problem trying to forget because the only truth is that we are our memories and each and every one of them...
"Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end. If not always in the way we expect."

Elisa enters the common area, intending to get some studying done before class, only to be surprised by the sight of Professor Weasley standing there. Seeing the head of their house in the common room is uncommon, so Elisa approaches with curiosity and respect.
"Good morning, Professor Weasley," Elisa greets her, her voice polite but tinged with a hint of curiosity. "Is there something you need?"
"Good morning. Yes, I was wondering if I could have a word with you if you wouldn't mind taking a walk with me."
Elisa nods at Professor Weasley's request, a bit taken aback yet intrigued by her request for a word. She's unsure what it could be about but trusts and respects Professor Weasley enough to comply.
"Of course, Professor Weasley," Elisa replies, adjusting her bag on her shoulder.
"I'd be happy to take a walk with you. Lead the way, Professor."
Elisa follows Professor Weasley from the common room and into the Clock Tower courtyard. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the scenery is beautiful, though Elisa can't help but feel a bit anxious about what the professor wants to discuss.
"So what did you want to talk to me about, Professor? I have a hunch about what it is but can't deny that my curiosity grows with each passing moment."
As they walk across the bridge, their footsteps echoing in the air, Professor Weasley turns her gaze towards Elisa as they walk, her expression severe but not stern.
"There are a few things I wanted to discuss with you, the first being your recent altercation with Ms. Grace Pinch-Smedley."
Professor Weasley also pauses, noticing Elisa's abrupt halt and the terror that flashes across her face. The mention of the altercation has struck a nerve.
"Please, don't be alarmed, Elisa," Professor Weasley reassures her, her voice calm and soothing. "You're not in trouble. I merely want to discuss what happened from your perspective."
"I take it you also hear about me physically confronting her and slapping her across the face."
Elisa crosses her arms, a wave of disappointment washing over her body — knowing that's not a true reflection of herself.
Professor Weasley's eyes widen slightly at the confirmation of the physical altercation, but her expression remains composed.
"Indeed, I've heard about the incident, so I want you to be truthful with me, Elisa. Why did you slap her? "
