Chapter 19: The shadow
I talked with Hermione after breakfast, and we decided that we'll sing together. I felt like the song we were going to sing was already in our minds even before we talked, but we needed someone to sing it with. So, after all, there were going to be only 19 numbers at the show. No one really talked to the others that day, well...no one that was a contestant. We were getting ready.
Before our number started, without Hermione noticing, I put on the spell hiding my arms, although I had long sleeves.
Harry's point of view:
Selene and Hermione got on the stage. The reflectors were on them. Hermione had her hair braided and a knee long black dress with a tight top, loose skirt and black heels. She did something to her face, it looked brighter... Selene had a jumpsuit with a tight top and lace sleeves and loose pants and black high heels sandals. Her hair and Hermione's had been dyed silver. It was a beautiful color. The song started with a military sound while the two of them stood there like statues, with their heads down. Selene started the song and Hermione continued.

Selene's point of view:
We finished the song in applauds. Thankfully, this time I didn't faint. After us there were ten more contestants and after that, the judges got up on stage, ready to tell us who the winner was. Minnie started talking.
" Dear students, all the 19 contestants were amazing and we all liked all the numbers but only one can win."
We were all waiting to hear a name. To know who won. And we got it.
"And the winner is...Harry Potter!"
The applauds were deafening. Everyone was on their feet. I was proud of him, not sad. I couldn't win everything. He deserved to win. His rap was amazing. He got on the stage, the biggest smile on his face and got the trophy from Dumbledore. And after all, it was still Gryffindor that won 100 points. But I spoke too early...
"And second place goes to Selene Povans and Hermione Granger."...we won 150 points after all.
"And third place to Pansy Parkinson."
After that, we all went to the common room to the party Fred and George were organizing. I was happy especially because I finally succeeded in makmaking everyone see Hermione as more than a bookworm.
We partied until like two in the morning, when everyone was too tired to even stay on their feet.
Next day, a lot of people were still sleeping at 12. Only I, Harry, Ron and Hermione were in the common room. Harry was staring at the fire with a lost look. I had a bad feeling in my stomach. Ron sat beside him.
"Mate, what's up? You ok ?" He didn't answer.
"Harry, what has that poor fire done to you that you're eyeing it so fiercely?"
"What ??" he snapped out of his trance.
"Are you ok? You've been staring at that fire for a while..."
"Yeah, I just...you know the smoke that was on the stage last night?"
"Yeah, it was from a smoke machine...so what's with it ?"
"Well, it reminded me of something I saw in the mirror of Erised."
"I thought you saw your parents and grandparents and everything."
"Yes, but there was something more there."
"What?" I felt adrenaline rushing through my stomach.
"Next to me, in front of my parents, there was...a shadow"
"A shadow ?"
"Yeah, just as tall as me."
"Like...and what do you think about it?"
"I don't know...it's like...like there's something lacking from my life..."
"That sounds strange..." Hermione said
I felt adrenaline rushing through every part of my body as I ran out of the common room as fast as I could. My face was gradually heating and I saw my hair turn dark blue as I ran through the corridors. Finally, tears started streaming down my face, flooding my eyes and blurring my sight. Unlucky for me, I ran straight into the twins that were coming back from breakfast. Although my head was down and they couldn't see my tears, I let out an ear screeching squeal that scared them. As my legs gave up, they caught me and carried me to my room.
They let me cry my eyes out on my bed as they stood next to me, trying to calm me down. As I ran out of tears, my hair gradually turned back to brown and I finally started breathing properly again, without chocking on air.
"Now, that you cried the..."
"...hell out of you in..."
"...the last half an hour, will..."
"...you tell us who are..."
"...we supposed to..."
"...beat up?"
"Don't beat anyone..."
"Well, then what..."
"...happened to you?"
"Harry said that in the mirror of Erised he saw a shadow next to him, in front of mum and dad...he said it's like something is lacking from his life"
"Yeah, that probably was..."
"...you, but he was small back then..."
"...it's normal that he doesn't remember..."
"...so what's up with that?"
"Well, that means he starts to remember as I do. I start to get back the memories that were erased from my mind and maybe because of our connection, he starts to remember me..."
"We don't..."
"...understand. What do you mean he..."
"...starts to remember you?"
"Well, after Voldemort killed our parents, I knew they were going to separate us, so..."
"So what?"
"I hid that in the darkest corner of my mind and heart, there's no surprise that they didn't find it out when they erased memories."
"Selene, what..."
"...happened? Tell..."
"...us."
" I erased myself from his mind and memories..."
