I ran along the hallway, looking for anywhere to hide. Please, anywhere! I don't want to be petrified! I thought, and that's when I saw a door.

"How did this get here? Ah, whatever!" I opened the door, and went inside. It was empty, and I leaned against the door out of breath. I remember what Hermione had said, right before the Basalisk appeared. Run Skylar, and don't look back! Don't stare in it's eyes! I shuddered remembering the frozen look on her face. I didn't hear anything outside, and I calmed down. I looked around the room, and saw a mirror.

"What's this?" I muttered, and I stepped closer, till I gasped. What the...? I turned around, but no one was there. I stepped closer to the mirror, studying the contents.

The thing was, I wasn't in the reflection. Instead, there was a couple, and they smiled at me. It wasn't till I looked closer, when I realized...

"It's me!" I said, and it echoed off into the room. I didn't care though, I juts sat, and continued looking into the mirror.

"Ms. Snicket, how nice to see you." I heard someone say. I jolted, and turned around.

"Headmaster Dumbledore! I didn't see- How did you-Curfew?!" He just chuckled.

"... Um, let me rephrase that. Professor, um, the reason I was here instead of the dormatory is because-"

"Say no more. I know." I calmed down, but there was one thing on my mind.

"Professor, what is this room?"

"The room of Requirement." He said, folding his hands.

"And the mirror?"

"The Mirror of Erised. It shows anything you desire."

"Oh, so it doesn't show the future?" He shook his head, and I felt disapointed.

"Now, I believe you should return to your dormitory. I believe there's a certain Head Boy who is worried for you." He said, and he lead me out of the room.

Even back in my bed, the mirror was still on my mind.
