The Mirror

As Juliet stood there with a spine chilling sneer, everything suddenly clicked. The potion, the rats, the tealeaves, the crystal, the fact that she's now stood here right in front of you clutching the exact thing you were searching for.

"You're a seer," were the words to fall from your lips in disbelief, blinking your eyes numerous times as if you would wake up from a bad dream. God how you wish this was a dream.

She glanced you up and down, her pearly white teeth peeking through her glossy lips as her triumphant smirk grew. And she laughed. A nasally, high pitched cackle.

"That's cute, it really is", she dabbed the corner of her eye as she calmed her snickering. "Took you long enough to figure it out. Fred and George always talked about how smart you were, although I'm not quite seeing it" she jeered.

Butterflies fluttered in your chest knowing that the twins had talked about you, for merely a moment, before the butterflies were crushed.

"But I wouldn't title myself a seer. Not just yet. Although you and your friends have certainly helped me fine tune my skills" she beamed.

You scoffed, finding humour in the matter, "And all this time we thought you were a veela". Your few and, unluckily, not very far between interactions with Juliet gave off the indication that she was a veela, or part veela at least. "You've nailed the harpy look anyway" you taunted.

Juliet exhaled a short laugh through the nose, a little sore from the insult but taking it on the chin. "I can see why they like you," she said. "It's a shame, really" she continued, pulling her wand out from her corset top and slowly spinning it between her fingers. You readied yours, not quite revealing it from your back pocket, but holding it with such a forceful grip you would snap the end off if you weren't careful.

Darting your eyes between Juliet's heavy gaze to the notebook held firmly in her grasp.

It was now or never.

"Accio!" you shouted, the book flying across the room towards your outstretched hand. Juliet lunged forward, throwing jinxes at you causing you to miss the notebook that now lay pages down on the floor, some tearing from the spine in the chaos.

Sparks of hexes flew out from your wands as you both scrambled towards the notebook. Amidst dodging your spells, Juliet toppled close enough towards you to open the opportunity to crack her across the chin with a swift right hook. She stumbled back and clutched her face, allowing you to grab a couple of pages and stuff them safely in your pocket.

"Expelliarmus!" she called once steadied again on her feet, your hand attached to your wand snapping to the side causing your wrist to pop. A short flash of pain shot to your contorted wrist, only releasing to a normal angle when Juliet accio'd your wand into her possession. Now you were really fucked.

"Whew! Keeping me on my toes there" she cackled cruelly, cradling her chin that was now flushed pink from the contact. "Crucio!" she commanded, sending your body into fits of blinding pain. Your limbs jolting, muscles flexing and jumping as you felt like you were on fire - every nerve ending was sent into overdrive.

You tried to fight it, but the pain brought you to your knees, and you let the screams go. Your vocal cords shredded under the sheer force of the pain, you had never experienced anything like it.

Where were your friends? What had she done to them? Her parents?

A bloodcurdling scream like yours would send the most timid muggle running to your aid.
