The Cursed One

The Mirror Of The Erised

Christmas came fast.
Harry, Ron and Hermione have been seriously a bit too obsessed with the Nicholas Flammel guy.
Hermione read almost all the books in library to find out more about him.
But that name rings a bell though.
Maybe I have read about him..
Hermione went home for Christmas and I stayed.
I don't wanna see Lucius's face..
After getting into Gryffindor and threatening Draco, he's gonna kill me.
I'm dreading going to Malfoy Manor.
I must have looked worried because Harry asked me
"Are you okay..?"
"Nah..I just don't wanna go back to Malfoy Manor.."
"You stay at Malfoy Manor?" Ron asked dumbfounded.
"Yeah..why?"
"You never told us much about you.."
Harry said.
Right..my history..
I don't wanna be seen as a weak little girl without her parents and all..
But still..they are friends...
"What do you wanna know?" I asked them.
And that was a terrible mistake.
They bombarded me with questions.
I had to answer them all.
Later it was Christmas.
Harry got an invisibility cloak.
As usual I was ignored by the Malfoys.
But there was a change though.
Hermione gifted me some books I had always wanted.
Ron gave me a jumper his mum made for me.
Its my first time getting gifts for Christmas.
And for some strange reason it makes me too happy.
Even if I had never liked jumpers before, I wore it for the whole day.
Anyways Christmas was over and since Harry got an invisibility cloak  he decided to use it to reach the restricted section to read about the Nicholas Flammel guy. He asked me if I wanted to go with him.
I agreed.
Ahem...but I was supposed to be the rule breaker of the group..
But..whatever
Anyways we went to the library's restricted section and nothing went as  planned.
We almost got caught by madam Pince.
We ran somewhere and reached a seriously shady place with a huge mirror in the middle of a room.
I won't be surprised if something comes out of the mirror.
But as dumb as Harry is, he went and looked into the mirror.
Then he didn't take his eyes off the mirror.
So I started pulling him and he wouldn't budge.
Ok...I was thinking of escaping alone when if something comes out and grabs him, when he whispered
"Look..its my parents."
What? Why would a random mirror have his parents...?
Right! Its Hogwarts..anything can happen.
So I looked in the mirror and my heart stopped.
On my right was a beautiful woman who looked so much like me was hugging me and laughing.
On my left a man whose eyes were the exact same shade of my eyes was looking proudly at me as I stood in their middle as the whole wizarding community chanted my name.
Bellatrix and Rodolphus.
My parents.
I couldn't take my eyes off the mirror.
I felt my chest tighten and tears stinging my eyes.
I staggered backwards.
I was about to fall but Harry caught me.
"Thana...?" He looked at me worried.
I pushed his hand away and ran as fast as I could without looking behind.
I quickly reached the nearest girl's restroom and closed the door firmly and bolted it.
I looked at myself in the mirror and saw a girl who's eyes were filled with tears.
Yes..this is reality.
As much as I wanted the image in the magical mirror to be true, it would never happen.

Because I am cursed.
