Allen Walker and the School of Magic

Chapter 11: The Mirror of Erised

WARNING: nudeness and suggestive scene. NO DETAILS so that I wouldn't have to raise the rating. Please don't kill me! xD

A.N.: Only one day late! I said I would update once a month ^^" but while I'm still a slowpoke it's not as bad as before but still I apologize for the late update ^^"


Gringotts was one place that Link had hoped that he would never had to set foot into again. He hated the rude creatures – Goblins they were called? - that ran it and he hated the ride into the vaults even more. The blond was fairly sure that he looked either green or pale when he got out of the wagon that brought them there. Maybe it was a good thing that Allen didn't come with him. The boy surely would not have survived that ride...

"Are you all right professor? You look kind of pale." Professor Dumbledore was quick to state the obvious and somehow the blond got the impression that it wasn't out of concern. Otherwise the old man wouldn't have such a huge smirk on his face.

"Just peachy..." The inspector answered while he thought that the 'old bastard' was enjoying himself too much. Maybe he had ordered those Goblins to take the route with the most loopholes in them? Would he really be that evil? Looking at the twinkling in the man's eyes was enough to convince Link that yes... Professor Dumbledore could be quite devilish.

"So I was under the impression that your 'charge' was coming with us today. Did something happen to him?" Now the headmaster sounded concerned. It was plain to see that the older male had quite the soft spot for the young general.

"He's sick. The flu according to the school's nurse. She thought about using a potion on him to make him feel better more quickly but since he is a parasitic type of Innocence we were unsure of what effects that would have on his body. So she decided to just let him sweat it out. He's with General Tiedoll and Timothy at the moment." It was quite the unpleasant surprise to wake up with a General lying next to him with his burning face buried in his shoulder. The last time they went searching for Innocence, Tiedoll got sick and now Allen, it was like their mission was cursed or something...

At first the white-haired teen wanted to come with him, if only to get out of the school for a little while. But since he looked quite pitiful in his current state, Link thought it would be better to just leave him in the care of the older General. Luckily – or unluckily depending on the point of view – the headmaster was more than willing to accompany Link on his search for Innocence at Dumbledore's vault at Gringotts.

"So you were telling me about this mirror that is in this vault. But if it is a magic mirror then why do you think it contains Innocence?" The blond asked. He had been wondering that since he first heard about it from Harry. That and he wanted to change the subject for a little while.

"Well for starters it's named the mirror of Erised. And while a magic mirror can do a lot, this one did more then that it should be able too." The Inspector probably looked confused since the older professor found it necessary to explain in more detail to him. "Normally the mirror is supposed to show that which you want to see the most. Like for example; Harry always regretted not being able to meet his parents and unconsciously wished to see them even if that was impossible. So when he looked into the mirror for the first time, he saw himself being surrounded by the people he wanted to see most in the world. But when he wanted to save the philosopher's stone from Voldemort; the mirror slipped the stone into his pocket when he looked into it. That is something it should not have been able to do and thinking back on it, was what made me think it might be Innocence."

And there was the reason why Link had come to the vault without an exorcist with him. Normally only an exorcist was able to 'feel' Innocence but if this mirror was able to drop objects in people's pockets then maybe that way he could achieve the piece of Innocence by himself. Thanking a deep breath, the opened the vault's doors and entered.

XOXOX

Who-ever took care of the vaults down here must have heard about the Inspector's visit because they had placed the mirror of Erised in the middle of the spacious room. The rest of the artifacts were covered in blankets so that he couldn't see what else was in there. Stepping in front of the mirror he took another deep breath- deeper than before – before looking in the mirror. Normally one should see the their own reflection but the blond saw something else entirely...

Staring right back into his own eyes were a pair of silver ones with a pleading look in them. "Allen..." The name escaped his mouth unnoticed but the mirror-image must have 'heard' because it smiled and held out his arms towards the C.R.O.W. It was then – and only then – that Link took in the full appearance of what he was seeing. The white-haired exorcist was sitting on their shared at the school... completely naked! Every little part of the teen's body was on display for the older one to see.

The white hair was softly swishing back and forth as his toughed by some light breeze. His silver eyes were no longer pleading but instead they were shining brightly in the same way they did before he got blind. His lips were pulled back in a – dare Link call it that – teasing smile. The soft, supple lips looked incredible kissable all of a sudden to the Inspector. His skin was pale and seemed to glow in whatever light he was supposedly seated. His Innocence stood out in stark contrast with his skin but if one didn't know any better they would think that is was just a – very – elaborate tattoo covering his right arm and shoulder. And while Allen's chest was covered in numerous scars his lean figure was immensely beautiful to the older teen. His eyes strayed lower and lower over the body displayed before his eyes until they reached the teen's privat parts. Looking away in shame Link could not help but shake the feeling that he had just witnessed something that he wasn't supposed to see. After all the teen's privates weren't for this eyes to enjoy. Wait!... What the hell did he just think?

'What did Dumbledore say again about this mirror? That it showed one's desire?' Did that mean that he desired the teen in a sexual way? 'Am I in love with Allen Walker?' Brown eyes widened at that sudden realisation. Needing a few second to think, he looked away from the distracting image. 'Okay so apparently I'm in love with another male which is against the church rules. Not only that but Allen is in some ways a time bomb, it's simply impossible when en where the 14th Noah might take over.' The Inspector had a nice career so far with the guarantee to rise high among the ranks in the Order one day. Would he risk all of that for just one little exorcist? But when he thought about it; really thought about it he would do it. Church and Levellier be damned! The feeling of waking up with the smaller teen in his arms every morning was something he could get used to the rest of this life.

Risking a chance to look in the mirror again, he saw the naked image-Allen sitting on the bed. He looked incredibly happy as he held out his arms. A mirror-image of Link appeared in the frame and he hugged the white-haired teen before kissing him deeply. Whilst he was doing that the image-exorcist slipped something in the image-Inspector's pocket. At the same time the blond felt a weight drop in his own pocket. Reaching inside he pulled out a piece of Innocence; surprised he looked at the mirror for the third time. His brown eyes locked with silver and the image winked at him before the scene disappeared altogether, leaving behind a disoriented feeling Link.

Clenching the Innocence tightly in his fist, he walked out of the vault where professor Dumbledore was awaiting him. Even if what he had just saw confused him greatly, he wanted to confront himself with the feelings he apparently held for the younger teen. When he got back to the castle he would be able to think rationally and calm for a moment. Hopefully...
