Feelings that are not my own...

So general questions for you guys. Has anyone had a huge time jump in their memories suddenly? Most of my memories have been of a teenager between 12-17 years old. Now he's like... in his late 30's early 40's? Second question... has anyone had memories of a spouse and kids? Because the guy in my memories had a wife and a son... apparently. Third question: Did any of you start feeling your other self's feelings for their spouse for over two days straight? I mean, man did this guy love his wife. Which is nice I guess for him... but dang. Has anyone else had to experience this?

I've had a time jump in my memories, but not by that much. I'd estimate that it's around ten years, maybe a little less?

I didn't have a wife or experience emotions for that long, but I did have a woman I was seeing. I couldn't tell you much about our interactions, however, since I haven't remembered them. Have you remembered a lot about your past life's wife?

I've remembered some things. I remembered a conversation he was having with...a guy who I thought he really hated. He was talking about his wife, in the past tense. She apparently died of a serious Blood malediction. Caused by some ancestor being cursed. So to make sure he wasn't alone when she died, they decided to have a child. Doing so weakened her, but they were happy. Really happy.

[scythegun]

I see. It sounds difficult to remember something like that. Do you remember much about the child?

[blondferret]

Only from what I can glean from the conversation. His name was Scorpius. Draco was very protective of him, especially because some of some rumor. Though I don't know what the rumor is. It wasn't good though.

[scythegun]

Oh dear. I'm sure you'll remember that in time, and maybe things will make more sense then.

Especially when in the memory it seems like my son is in trouble. And I think it involves time travel.

[scythegun]

Time travel? It sounds like things are incredibly complicated... What makes you think it's time travel?

[blondferret]

1. He's being told he can't go travelling through time looking for his son if he doesn't know WHEN in time his son is.
2. He has a time turner. Which allows a person to travel in time.

[scythegun]

Makes sense, that certainly makes it pretty clear-cut! Do you know if time travel was a very common thing in his world?

[blondferret]

I'm going to say "no". From the context of the conversation, the time turners were collected and controlled by the ministry of magic... except the one Draco had. Family heirloom they hid away or something.

[scythegun]

How fascinating... Being able to use something like that certainly sounds like an interesting memory!

[blondferret]

Maybe? It seemed some time turners have a time limit of how long you can be in the past? Though the one Draco had didn't have that problem.

[scythegun]

Really? Do you have any idea why that might be?

[blondferret]

His comments about it made it seem like his was one of better quality. His family is loaded.
