Disclaimer: I still own nothing
I have to admit, after Ron and Harry told me baout the Mirror of Erised back in first year I've been mildly curious as to what I'd see. I mean, my truest heart's desire, there are so many possibilities I can think of but I certainly can't determine which is the one I want most. So when Professor Dumbledore announced the mirror was accessable to the students this year I immediately decided I'd come and look in it. I decided to come early in the morning to make sure there wouldn't be other people around, watching me.
As I crept into the room on the second floor I was vaguely aware of how cold my fingers were but it didn't really bother me, I was quite anxious with anticipation by that stage. I crossed the room quickly and stopped in front of the mirror. It sounds ridiculous but I was so nervous I ws shaking. However the shaking seemed to increase tenfold when I actually looked up. I was expecting to see myself with a huge amount of NEWTs or Dumbledore shaking my hand at our leaving feat or being recognised somehow for doing something really amazing and wonderful! But instead I saw... us. Ron, Harry and myself I mean. ANd someone else... my child, mine and Ron's. It was such a beautiful scene. I was sitting up on a bed, I think in hospital and Ron was sitting on the edge of it holding what could only be our child. Honestly, the hair on it! Flaming red and very bushy, especially for a baby so young. Harry was dancing around taking pictures with a big, sparkling wizard camera. And we were all laughing. We looked older than we are now, but we were still best friends. I was married to Ron, we were all alive and most incredibly, we were still smiling. The war might have been raging outside the wondows, the rest of the world might have vanished but it didn't matter. The three of us were together.
It suprised me at first but when I thought about everything it made sense. With Ron and Harry I can do anything, without them and their support I'm nothing. I wonder is they'll ever know how important they are to me.
