Man in the Mirror
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 9
By Halloween, Sasporilla had thoroughly researched all of her options to get back to being a girl. She was not undergoing muggle science procedures. They looked very painful and had varying results. Sassy was making her weekly trip into Hogsmead to dinner at Karry and Zacs. In many ways she was happy for her friends and their love but she missed rooming with her. The all night gab sessions, the clothes sharing, the constant companionship. Sasporilla realized what she really was, was jealous. Jealous of Zac for stealing her friend. Taking away his girl. What? No. Sasporilla had experienced moments of this before and feared that something about this curse was trying to turn her into a boy as much inside as out.
Was he starting to see Karry differently? Was he developing a normal male interest in girls?
"Hey you." Marys voice called from behind.
Sasporilla turned to see Mary ridding up to him.
"Hi there Mary." Sassy said.
"No drag today I see." Mary said.
Sasporilla looked at himself. She was right. He just jumped out of bed late and through on pants and a shirt, slipped on a jacket and headed out.
"Ya." Sassy said. "Just through this on. Didn't think much about it."
"Just like a man." Mary said. "Headed to the Curtiss house for dinner?"
"You know it." Sassy said thinking how good Mary looked today. "How's the business going?"
"I have someone interested in buying the building and am going to have a going out of business sale after Christmas some time."
"Hope you make a bunch of money." Sassy smiled.
"The offer on the shop makes it worth while." Mary smiled. "The rest is gravy."
"Gravy, mmmmm." Sasporilla smiled. "Hey what are you doing for dinner?"
"Nothing why?" Mary asked.
"Come to dinner with me." Sassy smiled. "We can laugh and talk. Make a night of it."
"Yes." Mary smiled. "Sounds great. Walk me home, and I'll just get cleaned up and changed."
"It's a date." Steve said taking the girls bike and walking it home for her.
My name is Sasporilla Bucket, Sassy thought to herself, I am a girl. I like boys. What am I doing?
Steve waited for Mary as she got ready. Her house smelled like vanilla and chocolate cookies. There were no real pictures of her family any where. Some of her uncles old pictures of broomer buddies gathered for club photos.
"Ready." Mary said walking down stairs in a pretty red dress and shoes. She looked teally good in it. Steve stood and smiled as she spun around and showed him the out fit.
"Well? How do I look?"
"Amazing." Steve said. My name is Sasporilla Imaginarium Bucket. I am sixteen years old. I am a girl. I like boys. "I am very confused right now."
"That look in your eye doesn't say confusion to me." Mary smiled. "I think it sees just what you want!"
Mary put her hands on Steves shoulders and looked into his eyes. Steve leaned in and kissed Mary gently, then passionately.
My name is Sasporilla Bucket I like music and brooming. I like.... this.

The door bell rang at just the perfect time. Karry had just come down stairs from getting ready. The bell rang again.
"Ya I'm coming." Karry called. "I'm surprised your on time your usually early."
Standing in the door step was the lovely Koleen Curtis. Her blonde hair sparkling in the fall afternoon light.
"Karry!" The woman smiled. "Surprise!"
"Mother." Karry said very surprised. She leaned in and hugged her mom. "What are you doing here?"
"Just thought I'd stop by and see my favorite daughter!" The woman said stepping past Karry and into the house. "Get my bags dear."
Karry gathered her mothers luggage from the front stoop and brought it in to the front hall.
"Where is the young man who has stolen my beautiful young daughters heart?" Koleen called.
Zac came running down stairs. "Mrs.Curtiss? Karry didn't tell me you were coming?"
"It was a surprise dear." Koleen said removing her cloak and handing it to Zac. "I was thinking it had been a while since I'd seen you two and thought we could catch up over some dinner."
"Lovely!" Zac said leaning in to give Koleen a welcoming kiss on the cheek.
"Easy there Tiger." Koleen laughed. "One Curtiss girl at a time!"
"Mother!" Karry said shocked.
"What?" Koleen said. "He's growing into a right sexy man."
"What is wrong with you?" Karry asked. "Are you feeling ok?"
"I don't care to talk about it." Koleen said. "I'm not feeling quite myself."
"Is everything ok at home?" Karry asked.
Koleen fell against her daughter weeping. Zac looked at Karry confused. Karry just looked back at him and through her hands up.
Karry got her mom calmed down over a cup of tea in the kitchen. She told a harrowing tale of coming home from shopping to find her husband in the arms of the neighbor woman. Karry was appalled and very angry. She wanted to go and confront her father and his floozy but her mother wouldn't hear of it.
"The heart wants what the heaet wants." Koleen said.
"No!" Karry said. "Make no excuses for him. I can't believe he would do this to you."
"Men." Koleen said sipping her tea.
The door bell rang.
"That must be Sasporilla." Karry said.
"You sit darling." Zac said. "I'll get the door."
"Thank you sweetheart." Karry smiled.
"God you two are sickeningly saccharine aren't you?" Koleen said, catching her tone, and feigning tears. "Just like me and your dad."
Zac answered the door. Steve stood there with Mary.
"Sasporilla!" Zac smiled.
"Hey Zac mate." Steve said. "This my date Mary."
"Oh um, pleased to meet you Mary." Zac said. "I've seen you around town. You run the broom shop right?"
"Yes." Mary smiled.
"Well come on in." Zac smiled. "Karrys in the kitchen."
Steve took Mary by the hand and lead her into the kitchen. Sassy caught site of Mrs.Curtiss and headed over to her to give her a hug.
"Mrs.Curtiss!" Sasporilla smiled.
"Well you do make a handsome young man." Koleen smiled giving the pink haired boy a hug.
"Nice to see you Koleen." Sassy said.
"You too darling." Koleen smiled. "You know I think you look a bit like your father!"
"Do you think so?" Sassy said. "He always spoke fondly of you, before he died."
"Yes he and your mother and I always had fun times." Koleen smiled politely.
Karry and Sassy pulled their wands and pointed them at the woman.
"Who are you?" Karry demanded.
"Why I'm your mother dear." The woman said.
"I knew you weren't when you mentioned my father." Sasporilla said. "He was dead before we moved to the Castle Road."
The woman pulled a dagger from the back of her belt. Before the blade got half way up Korona Portemp was petrified.
Karry looked at Mary. "Who are you."
"This is Mary." Sasporilla said. "She's my date."
