A/N: Thanks to all who've read Chapter 1, and a big thanks to Night, werewolf-in-training, Leia Emerblaze, ElianaMargalit, and areyoufeelingwicked for reviewing. It seems there's a lot of Harry Potter fans out there! In fact, I was thinking of writing another Wicked/HP crossover in which the Shiz students are transferred to Hogwarts, let me know what you think! Oh yeah, I was originally only going to write 3 chapters for this one (one each for Elphaba, Galinda and Fiyero) but as the story seems to be popular I think I'll write more! Nessa and Boq will most likely be included, and maybe Avaric... who else should I do? Please let me know. Anyway, Galinda's turn to see the mirror awaits...

Chapter 2
Elphaba crept into the dorm she shared with Galinda, who was sleeping peacfully underneath countless frilly pink blankets. Elphaba smiled, before gently shaking her roommate and stroking her cheek. Galinda opened her eyes. "Wha..Elphie? What is it?"
"I have something to show you," Elphaba replied quietly, smiling at her friend. Galinda yawned before rubbing her eyes and sitting up in bed.
"Can't it wait until tomorrow, Elphie?"
"No, I have to show you tonight. It's a very special secret that only you and I can know. It's a mirror."
Galinda laughed. "Why Miss Elphaba, since when have you been the fashionable type?"
"No, no, it's not like that," Elphaba replied in a laugh, before returning to a serious expression. "It's a very special mirror. It means so much to me, Galinda," She put one hand over her heart and held her friend's hand in the other, as a tear rolled down her face. Galinda gently brushed the tear away, and gave Elphaba's hand a squeeze. "I think it predicts the future."
Galinda got excited. "Oh, why didn't you say so before? A mirror that predicts the future, eh? I have to check it out!"
Elphaba smiled. "Okay, but you need to be very quiet. I practically risked getting caught just now. If we both get caught, who knows what'll happen?"
Galinda quickly put her dressing gown and slippers on and the two girls left the dormitory. They walked around the dark halls looking for the room with the mirror, looking through the crack in every door left ajar, and every keyhole, but had no luck yet. It was bad enough they were having trouble finding the right room, but it was worse still that they were risking getting caught.
"Elphie," Galinda whispered, "I'm scared. Can't we go back now?"
"Ssh, you'll be fine," Elphaba said with a smile, grasping her friend's hand tightly and squeezing it gently. "We've got to be there now... almost... ah, there it is!" She saw the mirror through the crack of a door left ajar. "Come on, I'll show you."
The two girls entered the room. Elphaba stood in front of the mirror, and called Galinda over. "There, you see it don't you? You see me with the Wizard?"
Galinda chuckled. "The Wizard? What are you talking about, Elphie? I only see us."
"No, you have to look closer. You see it now, don't you?" Galinda shook her head. "Maybe you should have a look on your own then," Elphaba said, moving away from the mirror. "What do you see?"
Galinda looked at her reflection. "I see... us! And Fiyero... but we're older, and.... who are all those other people crowding around me? Sweet Oz, is that a photographer?" She saw that a photographer was making his way up to the older Elphaba, Galinda and Fiyero, who were now huddling together, bright, happy smiles on their faces. Once the picture was taken, Galinda could see several people applauding them, and then she saw a man bringing up a chair, and beckoning for her to sit down. She did, and the man gave her a massage. She pulled a pair of black glasses from her dress pocket and put them on, waving and smiling to the crowd, as Elphaba and Fiyero stood on either side of her. Fiyero bent down to Galinda and leaned closer, and the two closed their eyes and kissed. Elphaba and the crowd cheered wildly, throwing their hats in the air and punching the air. Galinda saw the photographer make his way back, this time holding up a newspaper to Galinda. She held it up, and the headline read: Galinda: "I Couldn't Be Happier!"Galinda was so buried in what she was seeing that she didn't notice Elphaba calling her. By the time Elphaba had come to the mirror, Galinda's reflection had disappeared, and it showed the two girls just as they were, but Galinda had a very happy smile on her face. "Oh, Elphie, it was amazing!" she exclaimed. "I was the most popular girl in all of Oz, and best of all I had my two best friends, you and Fiyero, by my side!"
"And you always will have," said Elphaba, pulling her friend into a hug. "No matter what, you will always be with me, like a handprint on my heart." She put a hand over her heart as she spoke. Galinda's smile widened as she relaxed into her friend's comforting embrace. She then pulled free, asking, "Elphie, what did you see when you looked in the mirror?"
"Well, like I said, I was with the Wizard," Elphaba replied. "I was shaking his hand, then people were cheering us, and there was a newspaper, and... he'd done it..." Tears started to fall down her face. "If only it were to really happen." Galinda was confused, but then she saw Elphaba looking down at her hands, tears falling.
"You were hoping he'd degreenify you, weren't you?"
Elphaba nodded. Galinda put an arm around her friend, drying the tears. "Don't ever let him do that, Elphie," she said softly.
"Why not? That's what I want most of all, to be respected, and beautiful..."
"You are beautiful just the way you are," Galinda said, pulling Elphaba into a hug. "Don't ever forget that. Even if the mirror shows you your future, don't let the Wizard try to change the way you look, and don't let anyone bring you down. You're my best friend Elphie, no matter how you look. You're a good, kind, loving and caring person and you are beautiful. Please stay as you are, for Fiyero? For me?"
Elphaba formed a smile. "Thank you, Galinda," she said, as the blonde dried her tears. "Thank you for always being there for me. Hey, wouldn't it be great if our futures happened as the mirror planned them? Like if I met the Wizard and we became popular?"
"Oz yeah!" exclaimed Galinda. "The Wizard could make you his grand vizier! Oh, I know! Let's show this to Fiyero!"
"At this time of night? Galinda, I've been up all night, and we've both risked ourselves getting caught, and what if they caught all three of us? Besides, do you really want to sneak into the boys' dorm and see Fiyero in his..." she hesitated for a moment, "...underwear?"
Galinda giggled excitedly. "That'll be so exciting! C'mon, let's go!"
Hehe... hope you enjoyed! Please R&R!!! Fiyero's turn is next... but who will be after?
