Thud … Thud … Thud … Thud.
The sound of her heart. So calming in her ears. The sound of her thudding heart, mixed with her slowing down breathing. She waited. It felt like a painful decade before she decided he was gone. The man, that creep of a man who she had met in Azkaban. He branded himself Jack. A scary face to go with his scary smile. Smile or smirk? She didn't know. She could remember him taking an interest in her, asking her questions before calling her Lucy Weasley, which had scared the hell out of her because she had only called herself 'Lucy' to him. Obviously, he called her 'Weasley' because of her unmistakable red hair and freckles, somewhat of the Weasley's trademark. But after that …
LEAVE. ME. ALONE !
GET. OUT. OF. MY. HEAD.
He wouldn't. Get out of her head, no. What a pretty little brain you have here. Unless she killed one of her family members. Kill them.
What harm will it do?
No one will no it was you … and you'll get rid of me.
Forever.
“NO!” the redhaired girl yelled aloud. She was too innocent, too, well, lovely to do something like that. Even if Roula had offered herself. She was not going to do it. Never. She couldn't even contemplate it. What would happen, then? This man was obviously not going to leave her alone unless she killed someone. One of her own. What a problem.
Speaking of problems, they seemed to love Lucy at the moment. They wouldn't leave her alone. After that walk in Hogsmaede … a brick had fallen on her head, knocking her out and causing her to loose her memory. A little comical, perhaps, but the aftermath was nothing to laugh about. Past Lucy and New Lucy was like talking about two entirely different worlds, two different leagues, even. In fact, the Past Lucy used to hang around with depressed people just to make them happy again! And it was so difficult for most not to love the adorable redhead. She was so amusing, that was certain. Plus she had never cared what people thought of her. She hadn't been a Hufflepuff. She'd been outspoken, happy, laughable, and friendly. But now ... every time someone tried to tell her that was what the Old Luce had been like, Lucy had interjected with that precise fact. That was Old Lucy. New Lucy was more thoughtful, more quiet, more mature - and, somehow, more depressed when with certain people. But with others... With others, she smiled a lot and laughed, as if nothing was wrong and it gave the illusion she was actually capable of smiling and laughing. As if it didn't drain her energy and make her exhausted. Of course it did, but the aftermath on those of who she loved's faces was priceless. She loved it. She loved them. But she felt wrong to deceive them. Every night she used to lie in her bed, almost crying herself, softly to sleep. Because she felt that bad. Stupid. To be someone like that. She didn't feel like herself. Not that she had a past to reference herself to.

The number of people she could remember.
Rosie, Hugo, Roula and … Vince. Vince. Thinking about him that cold, February night put a slight smile on her face. Her boyfriend. He was there for her … but … she didn't deserve him. In her eyes, love was not something she deserved, and especially from someone as considerate as Vince. Of course he seen it the opposite way: he didn't deserve her. This wasn't true, and Lucy tried to hard to persuade him of this.

The number of steps she took towards the door.
Room of Requirement …
Useless … You are useless …
You can't remember anything, not even for your own family, your loved ones.
You're very slowly going insane.
So very slowly.
He. Doesn't. Want. To. Love. You.
YOU. ARE. USELESS.
“I'M USELESS! she screamed upon entering the Room of Requirement, “WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER?! WHY CAN'T I FUCKING REMEMBER!?”
boom. Trash. Crash! Boom. Crash, crash!
The noise as she trashed the room around her. Not caring what got broken, just fists, flying, smashing, crashing, chanting “USELESS! REMEMBER, REMEMBER, REMBER! USLESS, USLESS, GET. OUT. OF. MY. FUCKING. HEAD!”
crash - “ouch!” - crash - “Ouch!”
The sound as she banged her head repeteadly against the wall, before sitting, legs crossed, staring at the door, tears streaming down her face, blood coming from her head.
Thud … Thud … Thud … Thud.
