'disclaimer' drill. Happy reading!!!
As Harry ran throughout the corridors of the mansion, he ran into his grandfather, nearly knocking his cane out of his elderly hand. Harry quickly apologized, not stopping.
"Kids now days, have no respect for their elders," He muttered.
The Boy Who Lived burst into his parents working room, his face flustered from the sprint. "Mum! Dad! Something amazing just happened to me!"
His parents looked up from the paper work strewed upon their desks.
James placed his wired-framed glasses on his desk. "Well son, what is it that you want to tell us?"
Harry looked excited. "I have discovered that people in this reality and the people of my reality can communicate! I have just talked to my friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasely, by mirror writing!" Harry said in a rush. His parents looked doubtful.
"Are you sure that it wasn't just a trick of Voldemort's?" Lily asked, her eyes filled with sorrow. Harry's smile faltered slightly. "Uh, well, I don't think so because Voldemort doesn't know Hermione and Ron."
"Well, he has a point Lily," James said thoughtfully. Lily looked from her son and husband. "Well, I suppose it's possible," Lily said.
Harry's smile regained its place. "Well, go on ahead and talk, or should I say, 'mirror write' to your friends of yours. Your mother and I must get back to work now," James said, and he put on his glasses once again. Lily sat down at her desk, opening a book. Harry walked towards the door and stopped abruptly. He turned around and asked tentatively, "Uh, Mum, Dad? Could you please tell me how to get out of here?"
Lily sighed. "Oh Harry. We've been through this before."
Harry looked between his parents. "Please," He asked pleadingly.
Lily looked pointedly at James. He took the hint. "I guess there's no other choice than to tell you. The way to escape from here is to, er-" James trailed off.
"How? How?" Harry said eagerly, his hopes rising.
James sighed. "You'll have to start your life, even though you will still be the same age as you are now, as either an animal or as another human being," Lily said, looking down at the floor.
Harry took a step back. "WHAT?!" Harry exclaimed. His father put a hand on his shoulder. "And you will lose your memories as yourself. There is no other way, son. Unless someone defeats Voldemort."
Harry looked at his parents. "Are you sure?" He whispered.
His parents only nodded. Harry looked blankly at his parents. He suddenly turned and ran from the study. "Harry wait!" Lily called after him. She ran after him, James following close behind. Harry burst opened the door to the room, which contained the mirror. He started to pound on the mirror, leaving a few scratches behind. "Let me out of here!" He screamed. James grabbed Harry's shoulders. "Harry!" He yelled over his screaming. "Calm down!"
"How can I calm down if I can never get out of here!" Harry exclaimed. Lily and James steered him out of the room. Just then, a voice behind them made them jump. "Going somewhere?" Voldemort was staring back at the family trio in his true form.

Ron met up with Hermione later that day. "This was the first time that I have ever been late for a class," She complained. Ron rolled his eyes. "Oh, quit your bickering Hermione. Besides, we have BIGGER problems than that." Hermione just sighed.
"I guess you're right," Hermione said, admitted.
"Come on. Everyone will be going down to the Great Hall for dinner. We can go and visit Harry," Ron said, tugging at Hermione's arm. Hermione's expression brighten at the suggestion. "Okay, let's go."
As they neared the room containing the mirror, they heard voices coming from within. They also noticed the door ajar as they crept closer. Ron held a finger to his lips to indicate his manner. The two peered into the room, opening the door wider. The door creaked under Hermione's touch, and swung open without warning. Before them, they saw Voldemort in his true form.
"AAAHHH!" The students screamed. "Oh my gosh! Hary is inside the Mirror of Erised! RUN!" Ron screamed, trying to disguise his tone of voice as a voice filled with phony terror. He pulled Hermione out of the room, not looking back."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"YOU!" Harry exploded.
Voldemort sneered. "What's wrong? Mirror got your reflection?" He laughed wickedly.
"Let me out of here!" Harry screamed again.
"So, you want to get out do you? Well then, join my Dark forces and you will get out of the mirror." Voldemort said, his cold eyes burning into Harry's forest-green ones.
"Never!"
Harry saw the door in Hogwarts opened behind Voldemort. Voldemort noticed too.
Hermione and Ron were looking horror-stricked at the sight before them. "Oh my gosh! Harry is inside the Mirror of Erised!" Ron screamed in fake shockness. "RUN!" He grabbed Hermione, whose feet seemed to have been glued to the floor, and ran out the corridor.
Voldemort glared at Harry. "I'll be back." And he ran after Ron and Hermione in Harry's form.
As the two friends ran down the corridor, Hermione took the hint of being suprised and said in fake, confused voice, "The Mirror of what?"
"The Mirror of Erised. It's supposed to show your deepest desires. I guess Harry got carried away or something. Come on! That was Voldemort! He was in Harry's body!"
"WHAT?!
"You heard me! Come on! Let's go to the library."
"Why?"
Ron sighed, know that Voldemort was probably on their tails. "To find a way to get Harry, out of the mirror!" Ron said exasperated.
When they arrived at the library, Ron got a book on mirror spells and started to look through it franticly.
"Ron. Listen, the only way that Voldemort got Harry trapped in the mirror is probably by Dark magic. It's possible that the reference is in the Restricted Area." Hermione said.
"We can't get into there without a professor's signature. Who would believe that Harry is trapped inside a mirror?" Ron said to Hermione, looking hopeless.
Hermione grinned. "I know who would though."
Ron looked confused. "Who?"
"Professor Dumbledore, Ron!" Hermione said pulling Ron out the library.
They ran to Dumbledore's office, not noticing Professor Snape's shocked expression as the two students nearly ambushed him. Ron began to name all the sweets he knew. None worked.
Hermione pushed Ron away and began to yell and pound the door. "Professor Dumbledore!" She yelled. "Let us in! We got something really important to ask you!" Finally the door opened. Professor Dumbledore looked at Hermione with a questioning look. "Something wrong, Hermione?"
"Very wrong," Ron cut in.
"Well then, come into my office." Dumbledore led them to two chairs and asked them to sit down. "Now, what is it?"
"Well Professor, what happened was that Harry didn't want to eat toast and everyone knows that Harry couldn't pass up a chance to eat some," Hermione said in a rushed voice.
"Yes, I noticed that." Dumbledore said thoughtfully over his half moon shaped glasses.
"He stomped out of the Great Hall so we followed him, and when we caught up with him, we asked him what was wrong with him and he called Herm- " Ron said.
"He called me a mudblood, Professor Dumbledore!" Hermione blurted out.
Ron continued, "Yeah, he called Hermione that. The real Harry had once shown me the Mirror of Erised and I took Hermione there-" Ron was cut off again.
"And we saw Harry in there!" Hermione said quickly.
"He told us that Voldemort was planning to take over the wizarding and muggle worlds in less than a month," Ron said, ingnoring Hermione's second outburst.
Dumbledore looked a bit shocked at the news. Ron and Hermione looked at each other.
"And we need permission to look through the books in the Restricted Area," Hermione said timidly.
"Of course." Dumbledore quickly signed a piece of paper giving his permission. "Go and find something quickly."
As Hermione and Ron got up to leave, they heard screaming coming outside Professor Dumbledore's office. Ron cautiously opened the door. He was knocked down when the door was flung open. There stood Voldemort in his true form, a dark hood covering his face.
"You may think I'm afraid of you, Dumbledore. But not anymore." Voldemort let out a cruel laugh. "And your friend, Harry Potter, is trapped in the mirror forever." Voldemort pulled out a rat from his pocket.
"Hey! That's my rat!" Ron protested.
"Not anymore. Wormtail!" Wormtail transformed into his human form.
Ron gasped. Using this opportunity, Hermione ran out the door and rushed to the library. Ron dodged Voldemort and ran behind him, following Hermione's lead. Hermione threw the note on Madame Pince's desk and ran off to the Restricted Area. She pulled down the first Volume of Magical Mirrors with shaking hands. As she searched with fumbling fingers, Ron came rushing up behind her.
"Hermione! Did you find anything?" Ron said in a rush.
"No. Search the second volume of Magical Mirrors," Hermione said not looking up.
Ron took down the book and searched through it. Finally Ron found it.
"I found it!" Ron shouted.
"Let me see!" Hermione shrieked, grabbing the book out of Ron's hands. She read furiously as Ron conquered up a quill and
parchment. "Ok, in order to free a prisoner from the Mirror of Erised, you must use that person's House sword." Hermione looked up. "Are you writing this down, Ron?" She asked.
"What's it look like I'm doing?" Ron said throwing his arms in the air, exasperated. "Keep reading!"
Hermione continued. "You must also the Mirror Switch Spell. First, collect the following: One Phoenix tail feather, some Gertaina Herbs, the shell of a newborn owl, a single leaf of a full grown Mandrake, and finally, any physical evidence left by the prisoner of the Mirror of Erised.
"Is that all?" Ron asked confused. "THIS is supposed to be Dark Magic?"
Hermione's eyes began to water, tears brimming her eyes. "No." She turned to Ron.
The red-haired boy asked uncertainly, "Uh, Hermione, are you okay?"
With difficulty, the girl finished her sentence. "If we want to save Harry, one of us will have to sacrifice ourselves in order to free him." Ron fell to the ground, his face vacant as he took in one of his best friend's words. Tears began to stream down his face. Hermione too began to sob uncontrollably in her hands, dropping the book, and disturbing Madam Pince.
The librarian marched over to the students. She looked at them, her eyes filled with concern. Other students within the library turned to see what all the commotion was about. Without a word, Madam Pince ushered the sobbing students out the door and into the corridor, leading them up to Madam Pomfrey's office.
A/N: Well, how'd you like this chapter? Boring, interesting, don't, know? Well anyway, I hoped that everyone liked this story. Also, if you would like to read a Harry Potter/Card Captor Sakura crossover, just click on my name (at the top) and you can read "The Fourth Potter" there. The next chapter will be out……(who knows when). I am PACKED with homework and other things such as practicing the piano, although I am much better off writing than anything else. I'll try to write as often as possible, so stay tuned for more chapters (what, you thought that this was the end!!!?!?? ^-^) of "The Mirror of Erised." Oh, and if you want my other story, "The Fourth Potter" to be continued, I must have some more reviews. (in fact, I have already started on the 3rd chapter of it. I've finished the 2nd one. And it's not a real CCS story.) Anyway, keep coming back for more updates on "The Mirror of Erised." Thank you to all the people who reviewed my story. Special thanks to LucKyAC9. Thanks for the supportive e-mail!!!!!
