A/N: Hey guys, thanks for reviewing. You're awesome. Probably I'm going to post another chapter tomorrow because I can't make a longer chapter now and I really want to continue this as soon as possible.

Chapter 9: The potion

Selene's point of view:That evening, I went to Minnie's office to talk to her about the letter. I knocked at the door.

"Come in" the sound was muffled by the bewitched door.

I entered the large oval room. The walls were bathing in the warm light coming from the fire. The Transfiguration teacher was sitting at her desk, surrounded by books, already planning the first classes for after the Holidays.

"Good evening..." I said sheepishly

Her concentration evaporated the moment she heard my voice.

"Selene dear, good that you came. I went to your room last night and found a book on advanced defense. Maybe you'd like to practice with the Weasley twins for the Stone plam."

"How comes you always know everything?" I barely smiled

"That's my job, dear. "She looked at me and her smile faded. "What happened?"

I took a deep breath and started

"Well, you know that I'm friends with Harry, Ron and Hermione and with Fred and George..."

"Yes, and what's with that ?"

"Well, Igotinvitedtostayattheweasleysovertheholidays"I said without breathing. She blinked fast.

"What was that? Calm down, you can tell me anything."

"Ok. Soo...this morning I received a letter from Molly Weasley. She knows that I'm friends with Harry, Ron, Hermione and the twins and she invited me to stay with them over the Holidays. And since I spent my whole life here I wondered if I could go."

I could've anticipated the blood draining from her face while her smile was wiping off. I could've anticipated her to get angry (although she never got angry at me). But I could never had anticipated her smile growing larger or the excited squeak coming from her.

"Oh dear, that's amazing. You're finally making more friends and get self confidence in your ability to hide your powers. And now you're theoretically in your first year and already going to your friends' house. I'm so proud of you. "

I blinked, unsure of what to do.

"So, I can go? "

"Of course you can go. I'll help you pack your things. I'm so excited. You're finally getting out of this castle and with your friends."

"Thank you so much. I'm going to tell the twins tomorrow. I'll have to write to Mrs. Weasley and to start packing my things."

"Ok. It's just one and a half weeks till Christmas break. You need something else?"

"I'll have to buy presents for everyone so I'll order them by owl."

"Ok, now go to sleep."

I went to sleep while thinking about Draco. I decided that I wouldn't let him find out with the potion who I am. I had to tell him myself. And that before Christmas.

Next day, at the breakfast, I was writing the letter for Mrs. Weasley:

"Dear Mrs. Weasley,

I wanted to thank you for remembering me and for the invitation to spend the holidays with your family and Harry and Hermione.

I'll come, even though I've only spent the Christmas with my family before.

See you at Christmas,

Selene Povans"

What do you think, boys? I asked Fred and George, that were sitting on my sides as always.

"Oh, but how..."

"...polite you are..."

"...miss Povans"

"We're sure that..."

"...our female parental..."

"...figure, also known..."

"...as mother will..."

"...appreciate your letter"

That was when I noticed that my entire ring was bright pink. Hmmm... I was wondering...

Even if he didn't know, I entered his mind. He was watching...me

"She's beautiful" I told him. At that, he jumped from his seat, making the half of the Gryffindor table that was facing the Slytherins to laugh and half my ring to turn orange(embarrassment).

"What are you talking about? "

"C'mon, you can't lie to me while I still have colored arms."

"Nope, still no idea what you talk about"

I dropped the conversation. He was too stubborn. But that was also a sign that I had to tell him soon.

Draco's point of view:

I didn't know what to do. I was falling in love with two different girls. On one side, was my wonderful soulmate that I loved since I was six. On the other side, was the charming Gryffindor muggle-born. Oh, how I wish they were the same person...

The third hour we had potions, and professor Snape gave me the best news: We were going to brew a potion that was showing us an image of our soulmate, romantic or not

"Now you can't hide anymore." I told her

"What?"

"We're brewing a potion that's showing us an image of our soulmate. I'll find out today."

"Well, I guess it was about time to tell you. I think I can trust you with my secrets."

"You always can. You're the most important person for me."

After an hour and a half, the potion was ready.

Selene's point of view:

Everyone was excited to try the potion, while I was staring at Draco's head, praying that his potion was somehow not finnished, cause I wanted to tell him myself. Everyone took the potion, one at a time. I saw, him, of course. Then I took a look at the others' minds. Ron and Hermione saw each other and Harry saw Ron's little sister, Ginny. That resolved the Harry problem. Then it was his turn. I was staring at his forehead, praying for the impossible. And then, he made a strange face.

"It's blurred"

"What?" Sev asked.

"The image is blurred. Like I'm seeing something, but my vision has been altered."

Sev looked discreetly in my direction. That must've been another thing about the born-legilimens. I think I read about that. We can alter someone's memories. So, after all, it wasn't impossible.

After class, we headed to the Great Hall.

"Can you believe what happened to Malfoy?" Hermione said.

"If I didn't know it's not possible, cause no one knew till today, I would've said that his soulmate didn't want him to find out." added Ron.

That evening, the four of us went outside to breathe fresh air. After a while, the others headed back to the Gryffindor tower, but I stayed.

"I'll come later. I want to sort out my thoughts." I told them.

Instead, I started making a list of gifts for Christmas. At five, I got up from the ground next to the there near the lake to go inside. But my plans were cut by crazy bludger that ran from the Quidditch pitch. It collided with my head and I hit the three with my head and tripped over some sharp rocks. When I got up, my nose was bleeding, and I had deep cuts on my legs and arms. I had to go to the hospital wing before losing too much blood.

And then, on a corridor near the hospital wing, I spotted a sad Draco Malfoy. This could've been my chance. I started walking to him but my legs gave up when I made half the distance. He raised his head. It was now or never. Was he going to help the muggle-born he knew it was something strange about, or was he going to let me bleed and leave without telling anyone where I am? But more important was the answer his behaviour was going to give for the question Should I tell him who I am?

A/N: Sorry for the relative cliff hanger, but I can't make a longer chapter now. Sorry for not posting the ome about McGonagall yet, but I have to re-write it. See ya tomorrow.
