Chapter 9: The Mirror of Erised
"Harry, what is it?" Lily asked as Harry threw the Cloak of Invisibility off of himself, her, and Ron.
"It's a mirror that shows you the future!" Ron said.
"Really?"
"I don't know, Lily."
"What do you mean? What did you see Harry?"
"I think me and you in the future with a son."
"That sounds, um, interesting. What did you see Ron?"
"I saw myself as Head Boy and Quidditch captain."
"I wonder what you'll see, Lily."
"I dunno, maybe my family…"
"Well, look!"
She did.
"Mum?" She asked the older version of herself in the mirror. The woman nodded. Lily cried. Everything she had heard was true, she looked exactly like her mum. "I have so many questions to ask you," the woman put a finger to her lips. "Oh, you probably can't speak back, can you?" The woman shook her head. She, however, mouthed something. Ariana! It was a pretty name, but it wasn't her daughter's. The woman cried like Lily had.
"You see your mum?" Ron asked. Lily nodded, her sobs were to hard to talk over.
"I'm tired, can we go back?"
"Yeah, why don't you sleep in the Common Room, we'll throw the cloak over you, so you won't have to walk all the way down the Slytherin Common Room.
"Okay."
Lily fell asleep as soon as her head hit a pillow.
Blimey, she's beautiful! Ron thought as he put the cloak over her, then he fell asleep on the couch besides hers.
