  29. Obliviate
The use of a penseive was a unique experience the first time around. Acquiring a memory from one’s brain even more. Yet only after acquiring one for a mystery Christmas present and letting the dust cover over it for nearly a year to the following holiday, had Snape finally attempting to put it into use.
With a touch of his wand to his temple and the quiet spoken words of the proper incantation, the potions master slowly pulled the wand tip away gathering a wisp of memory to appear. His mind blanked for a moment as if someone had hit him with a memory charm.
What in Merlin’s Beard?
Whatever had happened, his memory of a particularly painful event in his childhood was less poignant, yet still there in the background. The seemingly simple activity had managed to provide a way to mask his less-then-perfect memories of his life but still keep track of them. You never knew when something might prove useful after all.
He just didn’t want to worry about dealing with them every time his mind chose to go back and dwell.
