Chapter 5
-1-
Ministry of magic a place full of cowards.
“Mirror, Mirror in my hand, show me what I desire to find in this land.” Roxana looked at the mirror in her hand.
Roxana smiled at what the mirror showed her.
Good she was not late.
-2-
Roxana appeared right behind Bellatrix and stabbed her with the sword before she could throw the spell that will end Sirius.
“Hello mother.” Roxana whispered in her ear. “You should have killed me when I was born.”
Bellatrix looked at her in pure shock before she dropped to the floor dead.
-3-
One of the death eaters threw a killing curse at Sirius, but Harry freed himself from Remus jumping in front of Sirius to block the spell.
“HARRY !!”
Roxana walked out of there.
-4-
The Dark Lord Voldemort stood there as he dueled Dumbledore; Roxana quickly put anti-apparating wards she had drawn in a parchment in a square formation around the Ministry atrium before she threw a spell at him.
Making both wizards stop.
“Tom Marvolo Riddle, that’s a mouthful of a name you got there”
“You dare !” Voldemort glared at her.
“I dare, the fifth of Mars 1978 Bellatrix Lestrange gave birth to a daughter that she did not kill and left at the orphanage, that daughter was conceived by Bellatrix Lestrange … and you”
Is Voldemort looked angry before he now looked furious. “She dared to go against my orders”
“And who’s better to end you than your own daughter ?” Roxana smiled. “I will kill you father; it was a displeasure to meet you”
“You cannot kill me,” he laughed. “I am Lord Voldemort ! I am immortal !”
“Oh really ? Let me list them to you then, the Slytherin locket.”
Voldemort froze, losing all the smugness he had, from the corner of her eye, she saw Sirius, Ron, Ginny, and the others, and an exhausted Harry who was shaking a bit in the arms of Sirius.
The Minister of Magic and other Aurors started to appear too.
“The diary, the ring, the Hufflepuff cup, the Ravenclaw diadem, your snake Nagini, and Harry Potter, the later got destroyed from the killing curse one of your own death eaters threw at Sirius Black but fortunately or unfortunately for you, Harry got into the way destroying the horcrux inside of him”
The panic in his eyes he pointed his wand at her, Avaka was throw first from his wand.
A bombarda from her.
Crucio
Reducto
Incarcerous
Avada Kedavra
Sectumsempra
“Expelliarmus!” His wand flew out of his hand. “Petrificus Totalus”
He fell on the floor frozen.
“The problem with you is that you find the killing curse the easiest way to go, I’ll be frank you are right.” Roxana approchaed him a sword in hand. “But I personally prefer the muggle way, it will give you much more pain”
He could not move but a pained groan came out of his mouth as she stabbed him in the stomach.
“This sword has basilisk venom, not even you could survive this.” Roxana hissed at him.
Voldemort looked at her eyes full of fear and hatred, but they soon lost their light.
Roxana ended up burning his body with an Fiendfyre.
“Not even ashes will remain.”

Harry ended up visiting Roxana at St. Mungo’s, one cannot fight Voldemort and came out without injuries.
“Harry.” Roxana called the boy who stayed standing at the front of the door. “How are you ?”
“I should be the one asking you that” Harry said. “So…”
“So”
“Voldemort … was your father and Bellatrix was your mum ?”
“Unlucky me.” Roxana rolled her eyes. “Ask the question, I can see its killing you”
“Why didn’t you follow their ideas ?” Harry asked, he was curious.
“Voldemort whose real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle was born from a squib mother and a muggle father, he was a half-blood, and besides, I love muggles ! And I love muggle shows killing muggles will—” Roxana said with a smile but stopped when Harry gave her a disbelief look.
The girl sighed.
“Harry…what i'm about to tell you, I want you to take it to your grave” Roxana said.
Harry nodded taken aback by her seriousness.
“I am a reincarnation; my previous name was Sarah De-Lamar, and I was killed before I reincarnated”
-6-
Harry came out of the room, head full of mind blowing information.
Reincarnation was a thing, and he doesn’t know what to think about it.
“I was an adult Harry, I saw what was going to happen to you, so when I reincarnated I decided to take everything in my hand, to stop this war before it starts, I decided to take responsibility because I am sure that your parents would not have wanted for their child to lead a war that it was not his to fight”
Harry Potter always looked up to Roxana, she was the only Slytherin girl who was nice to all houses, she put Malfoy in his place when he annoyed the Gryffindor trio, he may as well admit that he had a crush on her, well half of the school had a crush on her, she was always beautiful and stunning.
But now Harry saw something else, besides a hero who stopped Voldemort, he saw a woman who fought for what it was right, someone who decided to take matter in her hand because no one else would and there was no way she would have left him face this himself.
Harry now admired her more than before; she saved many lives and he’s grateful for it.
And just like he promised, Harry will take her secret to the grave.

“What will you do now ?” Sirius asked.
“Travel around the world, I guess, to have bit of fun and all that.” Roxana answered. “Till I decide to put myself in peace.”
Sirius froze at that for a second before he took out a mirror from his pocket pointed his wand at it to change it from the small size to the size of a hand mirror and gave it to her. “Keep this with you, it’s a two way mirror, to keep in contact, Harry has one too.”
“Thank you Sirius.”
-8-
The next time Roxana came back to England, it was a month after the birth of Harry’s first child.
“Roxana…you didn’t age a day.” Harry said in complete shock.
“Harry…I do not think I can die anymore.”
“Was it a spell ? Did you do something ?”
“After the whole Voldemort thing, I tried to put myself in peace, I did not succeed.”
Harry gave her a scandalized look. “Roxana !”
The woman in question had tears her eyes. “I can’t die Harry, I tried everything even basilisk venom, the only thing it did was put me in agony for a whole month before it merged into the fangs of my animagus form…”
“Do you know why ?”
“Yes…and I regret the day I decided to become an animagus, the ouroboros…like a phoenix is a symbol of life death and rebirth, the snake that bite is own tail, never dying.”
He never saw her broke down before, he hugged her.
“It will be alright.” Harry reassured her.
It was not going to be alright, they both knew that.
Well, in this world at least.
-9-
Here lies--
Roxana closed her eyes and turned away.
She did not want to look at the grave.
-10-
Roxana shrank her suitcase and put it in her necklace, ready to travel somewhere else tomorrow, for now she will sleep.
How many years has it been ? I lost count...
Ahh... my dear beloved.
A lovely and noble flower of evil.
Truly, you are the most beautiful of all.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall who is…
---
O thee, guided by the Dark Mirror,
Follow thy heart’s desire
and take the hand of the one reflected in the mirror.
Flames that incinerate even the stars,
Ice that imprisons even time,
The great tree that engulfs even the skies,
Fear not the power of darkness.
Now──demonstrate thy powers.
For me. For them. For you.
We are all running out of time.
No matter what,
never let go of that hand.
