Since Remus' encounter with the mirror, he couldn't help but look up the mirror. He tried every book he could find. All of his spare time was spent in the library looking for what the mirror meant. All hope was lost, when suddenly, Remus had a brainwave.

"Accio book on The Mirror of Erised." He mumbled, and book flew towards him and he grasped it just before it hit his face and it pulled him backwards off of his seat and into the book shelf behind.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT?!" Somebody shouted.

"Reparo." Remus muttered pointing his wand at the book shelf. The shelf obeyed and stood itself up and the books placed themselves back upon the shelves. Remus ran back to his seat, book in hand and sat down pretending to read. The librarian ran over to see what had happened but there was no one there except Remus.

"Remus darling", the librarian walked over to him looking bamboozled "you are quite aware you're bleeding?" She pulled out a tissue and gave it to Remus.

"Oh, am I? Thanks." He muttered taking the tissue and moped his face. The librarian gave him a funny look and walked away tutting murmuring something about "silly kids" and "low wages". Remus sighed, "that was close" he thought. He opened the book and thumbed through the pages. He finally found a page labelled 'What does The Mirror of Erised show?" He muttered the page aloud to himself:

"The Mirror of Erised.

The Mirror of Erised is a magical object which shows one the deepest desire of the heart. There is a message etched upon it, which does not make any sense. It makes sense if read backwards. The message is: "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi". Read backwards it means: I show not your face but your heart's desire."

Remus put the book down on the table. He closed his eyes and moaned. "So I desire Sirius." He hit his head on the table. "Great he." He grumbled. "Now how to tell Sirius?" He gathered his belongings and left the library. He pulled out an old piece of parchment out of his cloak pocket. Looking around making sure no one could see him and whispered "I solemnly swear I am up to no good.". The piece of old parchment transformed into a detailed map of Hogwarts. Remus scanned the map looking for Sirius and found him. He was in their dormitory. "Right", Remus thought. "Now or never. Mischief managed" He rolled up the parchment and slipped it into his cloak. Remus walked back to his dormitory, checking he wasn't being followed every so often. He was the main victim of the Slytherins pranks. He hated them. With a passion. It was a shame Sirius' cousin, Bellatrix was in Slytherin. Sirius was nothing like her. He walked up to the Gryffindor entrance, the Fat Lady, and said "Pygmy Puff", the portrait swung open and he was granted access. He ran up to his dormitory and opened the door. He saw Sirius sat on the window ledge drawing deep on a cigarette. Remus dumped his stuff down on his bed and walked over to Sirius.

"Sirius I need you to come with me." Remus begged, but Sirius ignored him.

"Please." Remus whinged, "it's important."

"Why?" Sirius grunted, putting out his cigarette.

"Please Sirius, its important."

"Why?" Sirius grunted yet again.

"Please." Remus didn't bother to finish his sentence.

"Fine." Sirius got up looked at Remus expectedly, "well?"

"Oh," Remus blushed "Follow me." he walked out of the dormitory and up the stairs he walked down the corridor and past the divination attic. "Just along here." Remus muttered, looking back to check Sirius was still there. He could see the door at the end of the corridor. They walked along the corridor and stopped outside the door, "Close your eyes Sirius." Sirius closed his eye, "Alohomora" and the door clicked open. Remus pushed open the door and found the mirror exactly as he left it. "Here," he grabbed Sirius' hand and pulled him towards the mirror.

"Open your eyes, what do you see?" Remus asked.

"I… I see us." Sirius mumbled.

"Doing what?" Remus asked, moving forwards to stand behind Sirius.

"You're holding me." Sirius answered

"That what I see."

"You touching yourself?" Sirius laughed.

"No you ass, you holding me.".
