Talia examined then quietly. "What is it..? I mean, it's a tattoo, obviously, but.." She frowned and glanced at him, gingerly reaching out snd touching it.

Mason winced. It stung. It always would. "Identification code." His words were bitter. "All Underage witches and wizards get it. It's like a tracking device." He sighed and winced again.

Her fingers pulled back. "Oh.." She didn't know ehat to say other than 'oh'. She couldn't even begin to imagine what it must have been like, getting a code just to be identified by..

Mason nodded. He turned back around to face her, his emerald eyes sad. "Wait here, alright?" He murmured. Slowly, he stood up and headed for the staircase to the boy's dormitories.

She nodded quietly and stayed on the couch, watching him go. Tal hoped she hadn't pushed him too far..

Do it for her. Do it for her. Do it for her. Mason repeated that phrase over and over in his mind as he got the items he needed. He had to do this, she had the right to know. His most painful memory, but she had to know.
Mason descended the stairs once more and was relieved to find Talia still on the couch. At least she hadn't left him. He placed what looked like a steel bowl on the couch and stared at Talia somewhat anxiously.
"Talia, do you trust me?"

Mason nodded and took a deep breath to calm his racing heart. "Thank you.. Talia." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a flask of something silver. Then he uncorked it and tipped the substance into the bowl. Neither solid nor liquid, it swirled around in the bowl and images flashed by the surface, but none were clear enough to be truly grasped.

Talia leaned closer, examining what was in the bowl. She had never seen anything like it. "What is that...?" She frowned and glanced upbat him.

"My memories." Mason pointed to the wisps of silvery stuff around in the bowl. "And this is a Pensieve." He tapped the steel bowl. Then he looked at Talia, his voice curt and his face expressionless. "I find it easier to show you, rather than tell you." He took in a deep breath and was relaxed once more. "Ready?"

She looked at him and nodded slightly. "Only if you are. I don't want you to think you have to show me.." A frown crossed her lips slightly as she looked back at the pensieve.

Mason chuckled nervously. "I will never be ready to face my worst memories, Talia." Then he took her hand in his and the two were sucked into the Pensieve.

She gasped as they were sucked into it, shuddering slightly as they landed. Talia glanced around and frowned slightly.

Mason released her hand as soon as they landed.
The two landed in a school room. Row upon row of desks were in there, along with many children. A teacher stood in the back, watching them carefully. The students appeared to be taking exams. One young boy sat in a desk in the back near Talia and Mason. The boy's tongue was sticking out a little in concentration as he wrote with a pencil, not with a quill, on his exam. His shaggy black hair partially covered his emerald eyes. His pale face had a small sheen of sweat, as though he was rushing.

Mason nodded.
The younger Mason was still doing his test when suddenly an alarm went off, sounding like a fire alarm. A red flashing filled the room to go along with the deafening noise.
"Students! Head to the main hall and wait for the evacuation signal!" The teacher yelled, quickly beginning to usher the students out of the room.
"Are the Death Ea-" Younger Mason began, fear in his emerald eyes.
"We do not speak of them! Everybody into the main hall, now!" The teacher cut off Mason's question and quickly pushed him out of the classroom. The students began to quickly walk down the hall, some running while others were pushing.
"Come on!" Mason gently grabbed Talia's wrist and followed the crowd of students.

Talia winced as the alarm started going off. When he grabbed her wrist and folowed thebkids, she followed him quickly. "Where are we going?" She closedbher eyes and stunbled slightly as she felt a headache coming on from the alarm. She shook her head out and followed Mason.

"Just follow me! The alarm doesn't go on for much longer!" Mason had to shout over the alarm.
Talia and Mason followed the crowd of students who were spilling out into the main hallway, which was as big as the Great Hall at Hogwarts.
All of the students sat down on the ground in groups, whispering frantically to each other.
Young Mason sat alone in the corner, shivering with his knees against his chest. Strangely, nobody was near him.
Suddenly there was a loud bang and a roar. The alarms were abruptly cut off as something blasted the wall apart. People in black cloaks and masks began running into the room from the hole. One of them lifted up his wand and shouted, "For the Dark Lord!"
Then they all attacked, beginning to fire spells at any living thing in sight. It was utter chaos. In the midst of it all, teachers from other classes began to grab children and Apparate away, but nobody came near Mason. It was as if he wasn't there.

Shebturned im a small circle, watchong what was going on around her. Then she spotted little Mason. "Wait... Someone needs to get you out of here." Taliablooked at Mason with a look that was a mix of confusion and slight anger. "They have to take you! They can't just leave you..!"

Mason sighed and closed his eyes. "I wish she hadn't tried to take me." He whispered, his eyes still closed.
Soon the chaos had died down. All of the students had been taken away except for Mason.
All that was left was a pale young woman with amber eyes and jet-black hair, Mason, and three Death Eaters.
They slowly edged towards the woman, wands drawn.
The woman's amber eyes flared up in anger. She already had her wand out and was now aiming it at the Death Eaters.
Mason was doing the same, now standing up behind the woman and shaking with fear. The poor boy was too young for this sort of thing. "M-Mom? Mom, what's happening?" He whispered.
Mason's mother looked at Mason and shook her head, motioning for him to stay quiet. "I'll deal with this, sweetie." Then she turned to the Death Eaters. "Voldemort is dead!" She exclaimed. "Leave from here! These students have no quarrel with you!"
A Death Eater stepped forward. "How dare you speak the Dark Lord's name!" He hissed. "A Mudblood like you should be bowing down to us!"
Mason stepped forward from behind his mother, his eyes narrowed. "Nobody insults my mother like that! I don't know who this Voldemort person is, but he obviously wasn't a good person. You leave us alone!" He was shaking with fear, but there was bravery in his emerald eyes.
Mason's eyes had opened and he watched his younger self with a mixture of pride and sadness.
