Memories In The Flames

A memory scrapbook from the era of the Marauders. Here we'll take a look into the past and future lives of our beloved Snakes, Ravens, Badgers and Lions. Submissions are more than welcome. Please just include a blurb, the date, and the character names. As well as source the image. Requests are encouraged as well as loved so feel free to send some in the ask! Thanks!

NOTE

Hey, 

I want to apologize for not posting memories as often as I wish I could. It's been a bit hectic for me but I just wanted to mention that submissions are open if you ever have an idea for a memory. I don't wish to offend anyone but I think it would be better for the group if any original memories get submitted to this blog so that all memories from Let The Flames Begin can be found in one place. I would love any submissions because they do make it easier for me to post more regularly so please send them in!

"Ready girls?" 

"Are you sure this is safe?" 

"Don't be such a chicken Lils," 

"To Alice's last night of freedom!" 

"To my last night of freedom!" 

Taken by a fellow party goer who didn't know who these young girls were only that they were too beautiful not to take a picture of. They would never know that these giggling intoxicated girls were the same girls who had fought in a battle only days ago. The same girls who had held a wand out to their enemies and muttered harmful spell after harmful spell. The same girls who no longer batted an eyelash when they saw death. But the same girls who were simply afraid of a few sparklers. Lily Potter nee. Evans, Mary McDonald, Marlene McKinnon and Alice Fortescue soon-to-be Longbottom had snuck over to a nearby muggle party in the park near Mary's house to celebrate Alice's hen night. Tomorrow she would become Alice Longbottom. Tomorrow they would become soldiers. But tonight they would remember that they were simply young and free. circa. 1979.

"Potter! Get out!" 

"Come on Lily, you look beautiful." 

"If you want to have children one day, I'd suggest you leave now." 

"Your threat is meaningless since they'd be your children too." 

Taken by James Potter in the early morning hours as the sun slowly streamed into the room. Having only woken up that he couldn't resist taking a picture of his wife. He hadn't expected her to be awake or react so quickly. circa. 1979

Rita Skeeter and Bertha Jorkins sitting on a bench near the Eiffel Tower weeks after Bertha's graduation. It had been Rita's present to the girl even as she knew that this would be the last moments they would spend together in peace. War was coming. Articles needed to be written and she couldn't be distracted by anyone. 

Taken by a passing witch who accidentally caught the two in her picture as she tried to capture the Tower. They would never receive this picture as the witch discarded it when she arrived back in Germany. She would never know what exactly she had captured and how valuable it could have been. circa. 1978

Marlene McKinnon and Mary McDonald on vacation with the McKinnon family. Though they did not know it, it would be the last proper vacation photo taken together where they were all smiles before the war wrecked havoc on their lives. 

Taken by Mr. McKinnon. circa. Summer 1977.

"Promise me you won't go out again." 

"Emma... you know I have no choice." 

"Fine. Then promise me you'll be safe because your son needs you..."

Taken by an enchanted camera during the night after Matthew had come home from a night raid. What Emma didn't say was that she needed him too. She had to be strong. She would be strong for her son and for herself because she wasn't naive. Emma knew what occurred during these missions. And she vowed as she drifted off to sleep that she would never force her son into this life even if she had to leave her husband. For her son, she would do anything. circa. 1979

Emma Vanity and Matthew Nott staring at the wreckage of Hogsmeade from the edge of the Forbbidean Forest. It frightened Emma and as Matthew hugged her tightly to him, he wondered if this was the future that he wanted for her. He wondered if this was the future that Emma would be satisfied with? For this was not the end but rather the beginning of something beyond their control. 

Taken by an enchanted camera. circa. Early Winter 1976

Andromeda Tonks reading a letter from her sister, Narcissa Malfoy, informing her about the death of their mother. It was a curt letter that showed no indication that they had been sisters or even a mention that her sister knew about the birth of her baby girl, Nymphadora. The letter could have been written to anyone. Even a stranger off the street. 

Taken by Alice Longbottom who had popped over to visit her friend, her own stomach protruding from the upcoming date of the end of her pregnancy. Her mind knew before the words slipped from her lips that Andromeda hadn't gotten any good news via owl. With a deep sigh, Alice quickly engaged her friend hoping that she'd be able to take her mind off the letter. circa. 1982

Bertha Jorkins trying to navigation the stream towards their camping destination. She could have swore that they had passed this river bend before. 

Taken by Rita Skeeter who had an idea of where it was but couldn't resist watching Bertha try to figure it out herself. She wouldn't admit it to anyone but she found her to be rather adorable when she was flustered. circa. 1976

"Do you think to stop us from bothering you by pretending to read Benj?" 

"Of course not Alecto, I merely wish to make you feel guilty that you're interrupting a genius at work." 

"Why do I tolerate your pretentious arse again?" 

Taken by Evan Rosier who just grinned widely, entertained by the banter between his two friends. It wouldn't be long before Benjamin Avery would give into his friend's demands and go along with whatever ridiculous plan they had concocted. circa. 1976

Ted Tonks and his fiance, Andromeda Black sitting on the steps of the British Museum. It was easier spending time together when the eyes and ears of the Wizarding World wasn't following their every move. Ted knew that it was difficult for Andromeda to handle the prying eyes especially when her family refused to acknowledge her. 

Taken by a muggle passing by who saw them and immediately was in awe of the obvious love they had for each other. Never knowing that the trials and tribulations the couple had to do so that they could be together. So they could be in love.
