The woman in the mirror (Harry Potter fanfic)

Fear strikes the hearts. Doubt enters the minds and trust is the one thing they need but can't find.

Harry hears voices. A voice coming from the walls, whispering words that shouldn't be spoken.

Something has been set loose. Something that should've never entered the grounds in the first place. Something that shouldn't even exist.

People get suspicious. Is Harry to blame?

Artemis wants to help him clear his name, but she soon finds her mind preoccupied with her own problems. Old doubts have resurfaced after her family gets torn apart. Parts of her history are revealed. Everyone has been lying to her and Artemis starts doubting everything she knew until now.

Because being yourself is hard when you don't know who you are.

The dream was the beginning. The mark was the clue. And the woman in the mirror was the answer.

~~~

The woman in the mirror is the second book in the Artemis Lupin series. Read 'The girl with golden hair' first.

She was used to investigating mysteries on her own. People were untrustworthy. They lied. They tried to change the past. But the past couldn't be changed.

Her own past was complicated. Especially because she wasn't the one hiding it, it was kept from her. For a good reason, they thought.

The dream was her only lead. The only way to figure it all out. The dream was simply the end of a curse and the beginning of a nightmare. Because some secrets are better kept secret. The web of lies and deceit only got more complicated. Familymembers talked out of turn. The wise man was far too interested and the dark saw the truth in her eyes.

Because her dream was simply the story. The story of betrayal, friendship but mostly death. But the thing that could ruin it all, was the very thing they couldn't change. It was the only truth in the past of lies.

Her grey eyes and his black blood.
