I WALK AROUND THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT WITH MY ARMS FOLDED AND MY WAND STUFFED IN BETWEEN THEM. I catch a glance at my reflection in the mirror, long waved Cornflower blue hair, and smoky black eye makeup, which drove Umbridge mad in class today.
But by law, I am not legally required to make appearance 'natural', as I am a Metamorphmagus.
I keep my gaze on everyone as I walk around, observing each person's technique and individually evaluating them in my mind to determine their level of skill.
I trail my eyes around and spot Harry helping Cho. The girl keeps glancing back at my boyfriend with a sweet smile and fluttery eyes, but he isn't interested and moves away from her the moment she doesn't need anymore help.
I smirk slightly at the sight and move my gaze away. I had no reason to doubt his loyalties to begin with, but seeing him show his how uninterested in Cho makes me know he is devoted to me alone.
I continue moving around, correcting some students posture and how to hold their wands correctly. "Working hard is important. But there's something that matters even more: believing in yourself." Harry calls out to everyone and I look at him, nodding along at his words.
"This about it this way, every great wizard in history has started out as what we are now: students. If they can do it, why not us?" I call out to everyone, trying to be motivational and catch Harry's smile on me before he moves to help everyone again before we call everyone into a circle around the dummy.
"Reducto!" Ginny calls out and the dummy gets reduced to ash. "Well done, Ginny. That's an incredibly powerful spell to have mastered." She smiles at my words and everyone goes back into pairs, trying to disarm the other person.
Neville manages to disarm one of the Patil twins and I smile softly at the boy. "Great job, Neville." He smiles shocked and stares at his wand with a soft look on his face. I move away from him, locking eyes with Harry and we both walk towards the centre of the room for everyone to see us.
Everyone's attention turns to the both of us and they quiet. "So that's it for this lesson. We're not going to be meeting again until after the holidays-" Harry says and gets cut off by students groaning. "Just keep practicing on your own as best you can, and well done everyone." I add and clap my hands together to them before they start to clear their stuff out.
"I don't think we're half bad teachers." I mutter to Harry and watch as everyone leaves the room. I spot a mirror containing a portrait of Cedric's face and move through the crowd of students and go towards it.
I stare at my reflection in the mirror, my blue hair. I watch as the colour gets stripped away and fades back to its dark black colour. The wave disappears and my hair returns to its pin straight style.
Harry moves over to me, and stares at me softly as my gaze remains on my reflection. I've started to forget what I really look like because I constantly change the way I am. I've been covering up my scar for years, and I've started to lose sight of what I truly look like.
"Are you alright, Jupiter? You seem upset." Harry says to me and I slowly trail my eyes over to him, pushing a pale hand through my dark hair. "I'm okay, I'm just tired." I call out and look back at the photo of Cedric.
"What's on your mind? You know you can tell me." Harry's voice is soft and I replay the memories of the Graveyard in my mind, of how defenceless I was. "I need to gain more power, to be able to hold off Voldemort. I can't let someone else die because I was too weak to fight back." My gaze turns to my reflection and my eyes harden at the sight of my face.
Harry pulls a confused face at my words. "Jupiter, my love, you are not weak." I suck in a breath at his words. "You don't need to say that to make me feel better." He steps towards me, shaking his head. "You are not weak," he repeats and I stare at him through the mirror.
"Your mother tortured you, she broke everyone bone in your body, and yet, you continued to fight. That is not being weak, that is having courage, and the strength to keep fighting." A tear slips down my cheek and I turn my head to look at him.
"If I was so strong I would've been able to easily beat her, I would've been able to protect you both. But I couldn't." His blue eyes soften at me and I quickly wipe away my tear. "I need to get stronger, I must." I must be stronger if I will go along with my plan.
Harry gently raises his hands, one to cup my cheek, whilst the other holds my waist and pulls me towards him.
"You are the most powerful witch of our age— of the age. And your strength will continue to grow. You aren't weak Jupiter, you never were. You were just a fourteen year old girl going against a man who murdered thousands, and your mother who tortured and abused you for thirteen years." He mutters out and pulls me close to him.
"And how you managed to survive, and fight your entire life to stay alive just proves to me how incredibly strong you really are." His blue eyes lock with mine and he presses a soft kiss to my forehead. "Don't blame yourself for what happened that night, it wasn't your fault." He says and moves back, staring down at me.
I can hear something grow above us and move my head to look up, watching as mistletoe grows and move my head back down to look at the boy. Harry and I's gaze lock before our lips join together softly.
My arms wrap around his neck as I hold onto him tightly whilst his hands continue to hold my waist and cheek. And in this moment of pure happiness and love, my fear of failure and regret washes away with my tears.

A/N- I really like Jupiter's character and my own ideas will be coming into play soon which I'm really excited for!
I also edited Jupiter to have blue hair and smoky eyes so you can see what I was imagining-
