Harry was wandering in the Room of Requirement. It was his new secret place to think. He knew Draco was doing something shady but nobody believed him. He sat in an old and dusty armchair to think and think and think again. He had one hour free before potions class. He looked up from his old potions book and he saw it, half hidden by a crimson red cloth. The same mirror he found during his first year in Hogwarts, the Mirror of Erised.
He stood up and hesitantly came closer to the mirror, he pulled on the cloth which fell on the floor with a cloud of dust.
He saw them behind the glass. His parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins but there was a new person in this family portrait. Sirius, his godfather. They were all smiling kindly to him, waving slightly, stretching their arms like if they could hug him.
Harry put his hand on the mirror, at this moment he just wanted to melt in the cold glass and join his family. But Dumbledore warned him, it would do no good to him to stare at the mirror for too long, he would just go crazy by looking at something he could never get.
But for five minutes he comtemplated his family members one by one. His parents were at the front, then Mr and Mrs Evans (he recalled seeing a picture of them in the Dursley's living room), Mr and Mrs Potter, and then other unknown but friendly faces, a woman looked like a female version of James with black short messy hair, a man seemed to be Mr Potter's brother, their resamblance was striking. There were children and young teens too, his cousins for sure. And at the bottom, Petunia, Vernon and Dudley. But they were not the cold people he knew, they had a nice little smile, their eyebrows weren't furrowed, Dudley wasn't looking at him with disdain, Petunia never looked so much like her sister. Those three were the aunt, uncle and cousin he dreamt to have.
and like if they were all people with blood and flesh, Harry waved at them and whispered:"good bye" before leaving the Room of Requirement.
