Summary: Agnes MacPhearson knows her memory is full of holes and shifts out from under her mental feet like sand washed free by a receding tide. It's always been that way, which is why she records and stores important things in a Pensieve and carefully labeled bottles every evening. Of course she notices when over an hour of her Tuesday afternoon goes missing.
(AKA, in which one of Gildeory Lockhart's victims notices and fights back -- maybe too little, maybe too late, but sometimes it's important to stand up and set the record straight.) [815 words]
Note: Written 8/21/20 in response to the
fan_flashworks challenge: lost hour, as part of the August 2020 amnesty round.
As per the community rules, this post will just be a link to the fic text on
fan_flashworks until the current challenge closes on September 1, at which point I will move the actual ficlet over here. But for now, a link: Of Memory Against Forgetting
[ETA: the AO3 crosspost is now up!]

...It's been ages since I wrote any HP fic. Apparently I am still not over the mind-rape themes of CoS, well over twenty years later. *hands*
Anyway, I'm going to bed now. It's been a long day and tomorrow will be long again.
