The Girl Who Remembers

Chapter 43

Dahlia's POV

"Step up! Step up! We've got Fainting Fancies! And just in time for school; Puking Pastilles!" The Weasley twins announced making me smile,

"Love potions?" Hermione questioned Ginny and myself, I nodded

"Hello ladies" George and Valeria greeted as they made their way over to us, I smiled at them both

"Love potions, eh?" Valeria asked,

"Yeah, they really do work" George confirmed,

"Thanks to me" Valeria asserted, George shrugged so she acted hurt, "You're taking credit for my hard work" she huffed folding her arms, he smiled at her,

"We're grateful that you created them" George retorted pecking her cheek,

"The way we hear it, sis, you're doing just fine on your own" Fred commented joining in the conversation,

"Meaning?" Ginny asked,

"Aren't you currently dating Dean Thomas?" I taunted,

"None of your business" She scoffed before leaving making me laugh,

"Got customers to serve, D. Have a good term, see you at Christmas" Valeria smiled giving me a hug,

"Be careful, all of you" I smiled,

"Always am" George winked, I went up to Hermione, Harry and Ron

"Let's go" I sighed, they all nodded and we walked out of the store,

"How are they doing it? Half of the alley's closed down" Hermione asked,

"Fred reckons people need a laugh these days" Ron answered,

"I reckon he's right" Harry said, I nodded noticing Malfoy with his mother before joining Hermione, Harry and Ron outside Ollivander's

"Oh no! Everyone got their wands from here" I commented as we went inside the destroyed shop,

"Harry? Is it me, or do Draco and Mummy look like two people who don't want to be followed?" Ron questioned, I hummed turning to face Ron as he looked out of the window to see Narcissa and Malfoy looking suspicious, we stalked them to Borgin and Burke,

"We need to see what's going on in that room?" Harry whispered, I mentioned a roof where we would be able to see with ease, I shifted into an eagle and flew up to the roof while the others climbed on to it to find Malfoy doing something with a cupboard, I shifted back

"What's he doing?" Ron asked, I shrugged while Hermione got a little further up before I pulled her back down as Greyback came towards the window, looked around then closed the curtains.

"Good evening to you all. First off, let me introduce the newest member of our staff; Horace Slughorn. Professor Slughorn, I'm happy to say has agreed to resume his old post as Potions Master. Meanwhile, the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts will be taken by Professor Snape" Dumbledore announced,

"Snape?" Multiple students whispers were heard throughout the hall,

"Now, as you know each and everyone of you was searched upon your arrival here tonight. And you have the right to know why. Once, there was a young man, who like you sat in this very hall, walked these castle's corridors. Slept under its roof. He seemed to all the world a student like any other. His name? Tom Riddle" Dumbledore stated causing a load of whispers to erupt, "Today, of course he's known all over the world by another name. Which is why, as I stand look out upon you all tonight, I'm reminded of a sobering fact. Everyday, every hour, this very minute, perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate these castle's walls. But in the end, their greatest weapon is you. Just something to think about. Now, off to bed, pip-pip" Dumbledore finished off,

"Well that was cheerful" I commented as I rose from my seat and headed towards the common room, we entered and majority went to bed while I approached the bookshelf, scanning over them to find something to read, I tilted my head as I noticed a small book with no title on, I pulled it from the shelf and opened it on the first page making my eyes widened,

'This is the Book of Answers. Do not abuse the power. The creators of this book are;
Madeline Adams
Lily Evans
Alice Lightwood
Kayla Peréz
Jennifer Ridgeback
We hope that this will assist you in your journeys at Hogwarts'

"D?" Harry called out making me jump as I dropped the book, I bent down to pick it up and noticed marks on the wall under the side table, "What you looking at?" He asked as he crouched down, I pointed at the initials on the wall,

"Their mark on the school..." I trailed off, he nodded before getting up,

"What's this book?" He asked helping me up,

"I think our Mothers created it...look" I commented as I opened it showing him the front page, his eyes widened

"How does it work?" He asked as we sat down on the couch in front of the fire,

"I'm not sure yet. But by the looks of it you write the question in and the answer will appear" I replied,

"Dahlia, that sounds a lot like Tom Riddle's diary..." he trailed off, trying to grab the book from me,

"I don't care. It's the last thing from our Mothers. I'm not going to throw it away" I retorted holding it away from him, he climbed on top of me and I raised an eyebrow, "Well this is an interesting position" I smirked, he rolled his eyes and leaned down kissing me making me smile dropping the book over the edge of the couch and my hands go into his hair as I lightly tugged on it earning a low groan from him, he grinded into me making me moan, I pulled his jumper off and slackened his tie before he sat up bringing me up and slackened my tie and undid my top buttons and began kissing my neck, my brain seemed to kick in and realise that we were still in the common room, "Harry stop" I panted pushing him off me,

"Why?" He whined,

"Believe me I want to too but not here. We're in the common room. Anyone can walk in on us" I stated, he sighed and nodded and we unhooked ourselves from each other and neatened ourselves up.
