With the article announcing Andromeda Tonks" murder in one hand, Hermione thought about the date and willed her memories to the surface. Removing the thin, silvery strands with the end of her wand, she deposited the substance into the bowl. To the best of her knowledge, she had never been able to call forth a blocked memory. There had never been a reason before, never been an exact date she was certain she couldn't remember. It might all be for nothing. When she dipped her head into the bowl, she might see nothing but darkness. She had to try something. The only other option she could think of offhand was to try what the Muggles did with hypnosis. She had no desire to be completely under the control of another human being. Not again.
