After Lewis spend two days exploring the castle and playing wizard chest and flying Lewis and Harry broom.
"Lewis, you look so tired, why not go back to the dorm,
don't think you sleep in two days." Said Ron.
Lewis was now setting on a chair in front of Hagrid Hut and fell asleep, when Hagrid walked up and Ron said,
"Can you put him on your couch, this is the first time he been asleep in almost two days," then Ron asked Rob,
"Can you do me a favor?"
"What is it." Asked Rob.
"Keep Lewis here." Said Ron.
Ron went up to the dorm,
Ron has had it three days of Harry hearting his Lewis,
he went upstairs to talk to Harry,
"Harry, we need to talk."
Harry turned and looked at Ron. "What wrong?"
After three days of Harry spending all day in front of that mirror Ron started telling him off.
"Do you not see what missing from this room?" Asked Ron.
Harry looked around and he could not see it.
"Your twin, the boy who punctured organs, break half his bones,
got a concussion, bruised or tourn muscles when he was protecting you from a troll, the boy who broke wizard
law to see you, the boy who is willing to protect you from anything no matter how much it hurts him,
You know he still hurts from the troll thang." Said Ron.
"You got to return this mirror and stay with the family you still have rather than those you lost." Said Ron.
Getting louder and louder with every second.
"That mirror is killing our brother it is pulling up more and more memories every time he seen it,
so he spent the last 3 days anywhere but in our room.
He not going to say anything he thinks you need this,
while it is making him worse and worse."
Percy walked in and said, "Ron shut it. You're disturbing the whole dorm." Said Percy.
"Harry." Said Albus.
Harry felt as though his insides had turned to ice.
He and Ron looked behind him. Sitting on one of the window seats was none other than Albus Dumbledore.
They somehow, they had not noticed him.
" - I didn't see you, sir." Said Harry.
"Strange how being obsessed with something can make other invisible," said Dumbledore, and Harry was relieved to
see that he was smiling. "Let's go to the common room."
Said Albus and he walked down to the common room.
Lewis and Ron followed, as they entered the common room.
They saw Lewis sitting in a chair in the far side of the room, and Albus standing quietly behind his chair.
"Apparently Lewis has come back and a new place to seat…" Harry trailed off when he noticed Lewis rocking in the chair,
with Rob setting and hugging him while he
silently crying, staring into the distance.
Out of nowhere came Ms. Weasley.
Ron pushed Harry back into the stairs.
"Lewis what wrong sweety?" Asked Molly.
Lewis was so far into a comatose state. It took her several tries to get Lewis out of this state.
Repeating her question, "Lewis what wrong?" Molly asked again.
"Nothing Mom." Asked Lewis.
"Tell me what wrong?" Asked Molley.
"You're going keeps asking me?" Asked Lewis.
"That she will." Said Rob.
"He has the firsthand experience." Said Molly.
"I better just tell you. I will tell you. I saw my whole family, three generations, my brother, my parents, grandparents,
ant and uncles, and that mirror keeps making me remember more and more and can't go upstairs till it is gone,
and Harry needs that mirror right now and he not getting rid of it till he is ready." Said Lewis.
"We shall see." Said Molly.
Harry and Ron run up the stairs to the dorm.
"Don't you dare. I am fine and if Harry needs this,
he shall have it and I won't be the person to
take it from him." Said Lewis.
"But this is tearing you apart." Said Molly.
"I said NO. I am fine." Said Lewis.
She started walked to the base of the stars.
"Leave him be." Said Lewis.
She yelled up the stairs, "HARRY JAMES POTTER GET DOWN HERE THIS SECOUND, AND BRING THAT MIRROR."
"Unless I shrink it, it is stuck up there." Said Lewis.
Ron and Harry shown at the bottom of the stars,
and Albus walked around and sat in front of Lewis, Rob, and Molley sat beside Lewis and started hugging Lewis.
"Harry and Ron come over here now," said Dumbledore,
He them magically moved a couch besides the one Lewis, Rob, and Molly where setting in. "How much of that did
you hear Harry." Asked Lewis. "I need to know."
"The Part starting with where Ms. Weasley ran in." Said Harry.
"Harry please forget this hole conversion." Said Lewis.
"You, like hundreds before you, have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised." Said Albus.
"I didn't know it was called that, Sir." Said Harry.
"It is that thang." Said Lewis.
"But I expect you've realized by now what it does?"
Asked Albus.
"It - well - it shows us our family -" Said Harry.
"It showed me as head boy with loads of awards." Said Ron.
"It showed out last Christmas." Said Rob.
"Now, can you think what the Mirror of Erised shows us all?"
Asked Albus. Harry shook his head.
"Simply the happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is,
he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is.
Does that help?" Asked Albus.
"Then what was mine." Said Rob.
"Harry thought. Then he said slowly, "It shows us what we want... whatever we want..."
"No," said Lewis quietly. "It shows us nothing more or less
than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.
We who have never known our family,
see them standing around us.
Ron, who has always been overshadowed by his brothers,
sees himself standing alone, the best of all of them,
although if he could see himself how I do he is the best.
Rob saw the real, because he loves his universe as it is.
However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge nor truth."
"Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible. I ask you not to go looking for it again.
If you ever do run across it, you will now be prepared.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live,
remember that. Now, why don't get off to bed?"
Said Albus.
"Lewis next time you are in pain let me know." Said Lewis.
Harry and Ron stood up.
"Professor Dumbledore can I ask you something?" Asked Harry.
"Obviously, you've just done so," Dumbledore smiled.
"You may ask me one more thing, however." Said Albus.
"What do you see when you look in the mirror?" Asked Harry.
"I see myself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks."
Said Albus. Harry stared.
"One can never have enough socks," said Dumbledore.
"Another Christmas has come and gone,
and I didn't get a single pair.
People will insist on giving me books."
Harry and Ron started walking back to the dorm.
"Harry where is the mirror I want it here now." Said Molly.
"Molly I moved it." Said Albus.
Lewis fell asleep leaning agent Molly and Rob on the other side with dreams of his family, parents, grandparents,
ant and uncles, and his brother, and the Weasleys.
He was like this for hours and Molly and Rob saw them all.
He woke up with a silent scream.
"Sweety are you ok." Said Molly.
"Yes, but I need to go to bed, thank you for making me feel better, I sort of lost my mind last night.
That mirror pulled so many memories out.
They should make me happy but to many at once." Said Lewis.
"But I need to go upstairs to bed, but I don't want to move,
this is the happiest I have been in days."
Lewis got up to walk upstairs and Molly grabbed him into a bear hug and said, "If you need to talk let me know,
no matter what it is, promise me."
"Sure." Said Lewis. At that minuet Arthur showed up.
While Ron came back down with Harry.
"Lewis are you ok?" Asked Ron, he walked around the chair and, "Mum your still here? Dad?"
Ron pulled Rob off to one side of the room,
and they sat on the couch and hugged him,
"Rob have you enjoyed the letters from Me and Lewis?"
Asked Ron. "I liked your too."
"Yes." Said Robert, "You know you did not have to pull us away."
"Yes, I did, this is my time, I will not share you." Said Ron.
"So, what do you think of my Boyfriend there?"
"He cute, defiantly a keeper." Said Robert.
"but he does have a dark past."
"Yes, yes he is." Said Ron.
"Is Harry with some one?" Asked Robert.
"Yes, he is with Neville." Said Ron.
"Robert it is time to go." Said Molly.
"See you this summer Robert." Said Ron and hugged his brother.
"See you then too only four more months." Said Robert.
Lewis walled up to Robert and hugged him and said,
"Missing you brother Rob?" Asked Lewis.
"Yes." Said Robert.
"So, you start next year, right?" Asked Lewis.
"Cool, you better be practicing some chest.
I want someone to beat me." Said Lewis.
Molly was still sitting on the couch by herself,
so Lewis went and sat with her.
"So, I take it you like your sweater?" Asked Molly.
"This is the best gift I have ever gotten,
and someone give me and my twin an heirloom from our Dad,
I am never going take it off." Said Lewis.
"Really." Said Molly.
"Yes, this is now my most valuable thang I own." Said Lewis.
"Don't you own an owl and you just got you Dad invisibility cloak."
Said Molly. "And I know your Parents left you money for school."
"I don't own Merlin, he choices to stay with me he my friend,
we talked before he chose me.
You have seen my Dad Cloak?" Asked Lewis.
"Yes, you did not even try and lie that you have it." Said Molly.
"What the point, don't think a lie would work even if I tried it,
and this gift from you can't be replaced." Said Lewis.
"Money is useful but would give it all away for one thang."
Percy walked in. "Mum?" Asked Percy. "Dad, what are you guys doing back."
"To pick up your brother Rob, Percy where your sweater?"
Asked Molly.
"Back in my dorm." Said Percy seeing Lewis with his still on.
"Lewis loves his." Said Molly. "Says it the best thang he got,
was you're not a different color."
"He does?" Said Percy.
"Yes, I do. It really is the most valuable thang I own."
Percy silently started laughing. "Giggles I take it you don't,
if you don't want yours, I take it."
Ms. Weasley looked at him. "No, I will keep it,
it is a gift from my Mum." Said Percy.
"Percy, you bring me the sweater, you never going wear it again."
Said Molly. "He really likes them."
Percy went up to his dorm and came back with the sweater and handed it to her. She magically altered it to the right size and now it has a purple L on it and handed it to Lewis.
"Now you got a spear." Said Molly.
"Still just as valuable." Said Lewis.
"We got to go." Said Arthur.
"Lewis don't put yourself in danger again,
I heard about your stay in the hospital wing,
thank you for protecting Ron through." Said Lewis.
"I would love to promise but would prefer not
to lie to you." Said Lewis.
"Why can't you?" Said Molly.
"There is something… you know what hidden on the grounds.
You know what it can do and who owned it." Said Lewis.
"Why do you think I know anything." Said Molly.
"You are still part of the old order, Dumbledore's Order.
He is hiding the stone." Said Lewis. "It needs to be moved,
if moved I can promise to try."
"We could have moved it." Said Molly
"You have not through." Said Lewis.
"Are you sure?" Asked Molly.
"I have a guard on duty." Said Lewis.
"He gives me reports every half hour."
"You can talk to Fluffy?" Said Molly.
"Yes, all animals." Said Lewis.
"So why do you think it is not safe?" Asked Molly.
"There are two subjects I am following,
both teachers and Tom Riddle is nearby.
You know what this stone can do, it can bring him back,
you know what it took the first time." Said Lewis.
"I do." Said Molly.
"You know why I can't promise something I know I can't keep,
even more when I know something bad will happen.
Voldemort is coming back to Hogwarts." Said Lewis.
"He is dead, so not coming back." Said Molly.
"You really believe that to." Said Lewis.
"Yes." Said Molly.
Lewis said, "Do you want to know the truth,
and help change the future?"
"Yes." Said Molly.
"Once you learn the truth, you can't go back." Said Lewis.
"Tell me please." Said Molly.
Then grabbed Molly hand and started sharing the full Memory.
Starting with James and Lilly sitting on the couch with
Lewis and Harry, then a loud bang happened over the house and the sign of Voldemort, Lilly run upstairs with Lewis and James,
a large crack sounded from downstairs,
then minuets of nothing at all then the door slammed open,
and then Lilly spoke, "Don't kill him."
"You know of the fortune." Said Voldemort.
"Yes, where Lewis is supposed to be your downfall." Said Lilly.
"So, then you know why Lewis must die." Said Voldemort.
"You know why I must protect him." Said Lilly.
"You and Harry could live." Said Voldemort.
"Please leave him be." Begged Lilly.
Then a large crack sound happened and bright green light,
and she fell to the ground. Then Voldemort walked to the side of the crib and said, "The boy who is supposed to end it all.
How is this boy supposed to be powerful enough to end me.
Lewis your family dead because of you, now you are next."
A large crack sound happened and bright green flash.
The next thang was a spirit of Voldemort was over him,
he hung around steering and thinking about what happened for two hours and eventually left.
Lewis felt a strange presence inside him,
but something that got added to him,
as time passed memories started opening and new abilities.
One hour after that Serius showed up at his normal check in time and found a destroyed house, dead friends,
but he did find two living god sons,
a few minutes later someone showed up,
and he hide Lewis and tried to hide Harry but not enough time,
But it was just Hagrid.
"So, they all died but Harry, we let them down." Said Hagrid.
"I need to bring Harry to Albus."
With the memory coming to an end. They released hands.
'Ms. Weasley think, and I can hear you,
do you understand why I blame myself?' Asked Lewis.
'No, no I do not.' Through Molly.
'He got a vision from the future that shows me killing him,
because of that he came and killed them.' Through Lewis.
'You know what you are don't you.' Asked Molly,
'Does you twin brother know?'
'What do you mean?' Asked Lewis.
'You're going makes me ask?' Asked Molly.
'Yes, because I know what I am, but not going say it unless I know you know, because it is very bad.' Through Lewis.
'You're a Horcrux.' Through Molly starting to cry.
'To finish off Voldemort, six Horcrux have to be destroyed then you know what has to be done to me,
then Voldemort can be killed.' Through Lewis.
'You have to die for him to.' Through Molly.
'You almost got it. I must die at his hands.' Through Lewis.
'I did say I wanted to know.' Through Molly still crying.
'Yes, yes you did.' Through Lewis. 'But now I feel bad for making you feel bad, please don't think on it to munch,
I don't it is just what has to happen to keep them safe.'
'Harry and Ron don't know do they.' Asked Molly.
'No, and you can't tell them, it is not time yet.' Said Lewis,
'They will know when the time is right.'
"It is time to go." Said Mr. Weasley.
"By Ms. Weasley." Said Lewis and Harry.
"By Mom." Said the Weasley Boys.
"By Rob." Ron Hugged him, "Remember we will have all summer."
Lewis was watching them and started to cry,
trued to Ms. Weasley and said, "You are to shear that memory with no one except Albus Dumbledore."
"Mr. Weasley one second please."
Connecting to Mr. Weasley, 'I have already promised to train the Twins the spells I taught Ron. Would you please register them for the twins?'
'Don't suppose there a way out.' Through Arthur.
'No, but will make sure they understand the dangers,
and if they don't agree to the rules, they get no training,
till they do, but they saved my Twin.' Said Lewis.
'Ok I will.' Said Author. 'But I will talk to them and say when you can start teaching them, please walk away and let me.'
'Ok.' Said Lewis then walked away and sat on a sofa.
He whispered so only Molly could hear him,
"Distract Lewis, I don't need him overhearing me."
"Fred and George, here now." Said Arthur.
"He wants to teach you some very useful spells,
when I approve and not before, you must promise not miss use these spells be responsible with them.
I am asking for you two to help, I need you two in his Brotherhood group. I need eyes and ears lessoning.
He will not let you in unless he can train you.
I need to know you can be trusted with these spells,
and you must keep an eye on them.
The rest of them have a since of self-preservation and Lewis protecting them at all costs even at the cost of his own safety,
do you know what happen to him on Halloween?"
"He was in the Hospital Wing." Said the Twins.
"He was saving a girl and protecting your brothers from a troll, he got hit by the troll's club and got slung through a door into a stone wall breaking most of his bones,
bruising his longs and heart, tearing his muscles,
he got a high-grade concussion,
the school doctor told me he almost died protecting his group.
I need you to protect him he will not,
but I must also know you two will not miss use these spells."
"We promise not to miss use the spells
he teaches us in any way." They promised.
"Lewis and Harry are one of us now." Said Fred.
"Right George, our little Ron can't lose his Lewis."
"Fred is right." Said George.
"Lewis, come back." Said Arthur.
Lewis walked back up to them.
"You can teach them." Said Arthur.
"Awesome." Said Lewis.
Molly, Arthur, and Rob left and went home.
The Harry and Ron went up to the dorm,
they did not notice Lewis stayed behind.
The mirror had disappeared. They looked around and realized Lewis did not come up.
"We need to go get Lewis." Said Ron.
"Yes, we do." Said Harry.
"Can you promise you are done with that Mirror?" Asked Ron.
"Yes." Said Harry.
"Then go tell your twin." Said Ron in the same demanding voice as their mother. Then they went back down to again find Lewis in the same seat looking out the window.
"Fred and George, I head the hole conversion,
I know what your Dad told you to do,
but if I am to teach you, you are to follow orders and never interfere with me protecting my crew ever." Said Lewis.
"But you need protecting as much as they do." Said Fred.
"Fred, I mean it, you don't promise, I don't teach,
and that goes for you to George." Said Lewis.
"You know he just wants to protect you,
the last time you protected The Brotherhood you almost did it into a grave. I assume you know how much damage that club did to your body." Said Fred.
"The Doctor did tell me." Said Lewis.
"So, you see why he wants us to look after you." Said Fred.
"If you fell you must but promises not interfering with me keeping The Brotherhood safe which includes you."
Said Lewis. "So, do you promise too at least that?"
"Yes." Said Fred and George.
At that second Ron and Harry come in.
"Lewis come up to our room." Said Harry.
"But your mirror, you need it." Said Lewis.
"I need you, not it, the past is the past,
and you need to be able to enter our room to." Said Lewis.
"Are you sure." Said Lewis, "Will not force you into this."
"I am," Said Harry.
"Is it gone?" Asked Lewis.
"Dumbledore moved it." Said Harry.
They all headed back up Lewis at the end of the line.
popped his head in and looked for the Mirror.
Then went to his window seat.
"I understand you needed that mirror,
but I am glad to see it gone, Sorry Harry.
But that thang has an evil fell to it. Felt like it was trying to melt my brain somehow," Said Lewis. "Mom restored me somehow I can't explain it."
"She what?" Said Harry and Ron.
"I don't know, I have one memory of talking to you in this window seat with Harry in front of the mirror then the next
Ms. Weasley is setting next to me not sure what happened in between it is like that mirror melted my brain." Said Lewis.
"How long between the mirror and Ms. Weasley?"
"Two Days. If it was doing that munch damage to you,
why did you not tell me I would have moved it." Said Harry.
"I have had memories of Mom and Dad for my whole life,
I did not want you to miss out on something I had,
that would not have been fair." Said Lewis.
"Lewis, I need you to hear this, do not interrupt me,
in the future if something is destroying you,
I need to know, something as stupid as an image of them is not that important, compared to your brain melting,
understand, so promise to let me know in the future,
I can't lose my twin." Said Harry.
"I promise I will." Said Lewis. "I know you know I have not given you all the memories I have, but I promise you will know all what I do when the time becomes right both of you.
And more training yet to come." Said Lewis.
