Title: Erised
Summary: Ron's heart's desire...
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Nothing!!!
Author's Notes: A challenge set down for me by searching4romeo, to write a Ron-centric fic about the Mirror of Erised.
-----------------------------
He stared, awestruck, at the mirror before him. The last time he'd seen it, the image was one of him at the age he was now, both Quidditch Captain, and Head Boy. He'd wondered if it could forsee the future.
When he entered his seventh year at Hogwarts, he'd been even more convinced. He was Head Boy, and Hermione was Head Girl, although Harry had been made Quidditch Captain.
However, upon mentioning this to Harry, his friend had explained that the Mirror of Erised showed what your heart desired most.
As he stared, Ron wondered what he might see in the mirror this time. It was embarrassing to think that his deepest desire was to be Quidditch Captain and Head Boy. It was rather pathetic, really. At least Harry's desire had some worth to it.
Squaring his shoulders, Ron stepped in front of the mirror, eyes widening at what he saw.
He saw himself, and his family, and friends. Hermione was by his side, holding a red-haired baby, and he had its twin in his arms. To the left stood Harry, smiling down at Ginny. His parents smiled at one another, and his brothers crowded around with their significant others and children. His friends stood in the background, grinning happily.
His heart's desire...
Peace, love, and happiness.
