Title: Something to forget




It was the same old story, every night. Pomona sighed.
"I miss him, Fil."
"'Mona, I would like you to remember that it was you who wrote to your friend Roos to let Neville get that job in Holland! And it was really a good opportunity. He is happy now, he told you in his last letter... We will visit him on Christmas' holidays, my love."

"It's really a long time"
"Well, it's not my fault their Ministry has put such restrictions about Apparating there... but even if it hadn't, you're not good at that and I would worry very much if you splinched!"


***

But, she did not give up.
"Here, I found it! You must say the destination while you touch the object with the top of your wand. Be sure there is no risk of misunderstanding..."
- PORTUS!
She thought there was no way to make a mistake. The blue light showed it was all right. She was so excited she just could not wait to use the Portkey she had just created.

***

"Honey, what happened? You look shocked!"
"I am shocked, Fil. I saw something that I shouldn't have seen! I thought I set a Portkey to travel to Roos Slagroom's office, but maybe I mispronounced it..."

"Roos Slagroom's office? Do you mean..."
"Yes! I found myself in Horace's room, and he was taking a nap, and he was... almost... naked!"
Filius began laughing, and seemed like he just could not stop. "Eek! Darling, what a scene!"

"It's not funny! I had never seen a naked man, excepting you..." she said, blushing.
"Does it really trouble you?" he asked gently, raising his wand.
"Yes, Fil, please!"
She closed her eyes.
"Ready? One, two... OBLIVIATE!"

Author's note: Thanks to Sprinks who betaed this, and to Pinkie who suggested me the surname "Slagroom" (which means "whipped cream" in Dutch... it's soooo funny!). Happy birthday, Daphne! (terribly ahead of time, but I could not resist. You know that May 5 is also my engagement anniversary? *blushes*)

I love it! I thought it was funny and sweet and very well done. Having restrictions on Apparating - now that could be just one of theose bureaucratic things that actually are going on here

Happy anniversary, Saki! May 5th is a good day - isn't it? Liberation Day here in Holland and cinqo de mayo in Mexico, your engagement and my birthday: people: drinks are on me!

lol I love this fic. It made me laugh the first time, but each read through I have a better picture of what she must have seen. lol Especially after those halfnaked Jim Daley videos today. Ugh...

Great job dear! I am very impressed with your humor abilities! Good luck!

[Smaug]

Oh dear God no! My eyes! Horace? Practically naked? Eww. It's really funny, I love the ending. I would have to be oblivated too. *Shudders*

[SakiJune]

Thank you for your reviews. Anyway, I did not mean that Horace is ugly... I love him almost like I love Fil. Simply, 'Mona is very prissy about some kind of things...

[stefdarlin]

YAY! What a wonderful response, Saki! This is so funny. I think I would need to be obliviated also, if I saw someone partially naked whom I did not mean to. Can I sign up to know Fil so he can do that if I need him too?

Although, I definitely would not need to be obliviated if The Rock was involved in any way. *tremble & drool* That would definitely be a memory I would pull out and place in a pensieve to savor over and over.

Cheers!

Stef =o)
