The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty

It's morning time and I haven't left my dorm yet. Instead, I am looking in the mirror, looking at everything that is wrong with me.

'Cho is so much more prettier.'

'It's obvious why Harry doesn't want you'

'You try your hardest to look good. But still, you are ugly.'

'You are a waste of space.'

I start to hear all these voices. They won't stop. And they will not shut up.

The longer I look in the mirror the louder the voices get. I try to cover my ears but it won't stop, nothing is helping to stop these voices.

"Shut up. Shut up. SHUT UP!"

I hit the mirror, glass shards go flying. I start to cry, while I look at all the mirror shards on the floor. I just want my mum, she knows how to fix everything. Then I remember the two-way mirror I snatched from Harry to talk to dad.

I run to my trunk and I start to throw everything out of it to find it. I finally see it and grab it. I hold it and I just start to think about dad. The next thing I hear is. "Harry... Is that you?" I smile and look into it.

"No dad it's Athena!"

"Athena, why are you using this?" I can hear the annoyance in dad's voice. I ignore it and say to him. "Can you pass the mirror to mum? Please." Dad only sighs and I hear him walking somewhere. He opens a door and passes the mirror to mum. As soon as mum grabs it I yell.

"Harry doesn't like me!" I yell as I cry tears dropping onto the mirror. "Wait, what happened?" Mum asks me, trying to calm me down while I continue to cry into the mirror.

"It was last night. We got into it, and he yelled at me. He yelled he doesn't like me!"

I hear mum sigh before she says. "Athena. Your father use to do the same to me. He would always say 'I don't love you.' Whenever we got into a fight. And guess what, he was just lying. He would always come back crying for my forgiveness. And I know Harry will do the same."

"I did not come back crying, that was always you Venus." I hear dad say from the back of wherever mum is standing.

"So now we're lying, you were actually obsessed with me Sirius let's not act different in front of Athena."

"That's what you think." Dad snarly replies with and mum only scoffs.

"It's true Athena, Harry didn't mean it."

I start to wipe my tears, and smile I knew mum would make me feel better.

"I guess you're right." I look over to the pile of glass from the broken mirror. I better not tell mum about this or anyone, Sabrina is currently hitting the glass shards on the ground. "I love you, mum."

"I love you too."

"Can you tell dad, I love him too?"

Mum huffs and hands the mirror to dad. "I am not talking to your father. You can tell him."

"Real mature of you Venus."

"I know you aren't talking."

Before I know it, mum and dad are both bickering like children. Mum always gets grumpy around Christmas time. Because of her friend who happens to be my uncle died around this time. Mum always said he and dad weren't close.

"You know, I'm just gonna go. Bye."

And then they were gone, "I got to clean this mess." I whisper to Sabrina, she only meows in response.
