A/N-Hey, it's me! This story is a LITTLE better, at least it has a plot. Things start to heat up (YES!) in chapter 4, so just hold tight because it DOES get better! (Yes I know, it IS hard to believe.)





The Girl in the Mirror

Claudia woke early. She had been at Hogwarts for a week and she LOVED it. She had everything she had hoped for, new friends; Hermione, her new best friend; and Ron, her new boyfriend.

"Yup, everything's perfect," she said to herself.

That morning at breakfast Claudia, Hermione, Ron and Harry were talking about the dragons they had learned about yesterday in Care of Magical Creatures when Professor McGonagall walked in.

"Claudia, Hermione, please come to my office for a minute" she said.

"Okay" they both answered.

When they reached her office Professor sat down. She looked very tired and stressed.

"Take a seat girls. What I have to say is very complex and not even Professor Dumbledore can completely explain it. Well, many years ago, in the time of You-know-who, there was a man. This man was a death eater. He was probably the most faithful death eater to You-know-who. You-know-who trusted him more than any other death eaters. So the night before You-know- who met his destruction, he told this man to come to him. You-know-who sensed that he was going to come to an end soon, so he did this thing where he transferred most of his power into this man. The man could not use the power until 14 years later. He would have this strength for only one year. He would use the power to try and succeed what You-know-who tried to do long ago. Then, after the year is over, he must use his power to revive You- know-who. Then after he is revived, then power will be transported back to You-know-who. Our mission is to stop this man. The only person who can do that, is you Claudia."

"Me?" she whispered.

"Yes. You can stop him. After the proper training of course," said Professor McGonagall.

"Then why did you ask me to come here?" Hermione asked.

"You, being the cleverest witch in the fifth year, and also being Claudia's best friend, will help her with her training.

"What is his name, anyway?" asked Claudia.

" I shudder to even think about it."

"PLEASE!"

"Oh, all right, Chrisoffolis," said the Professor.

"Nice name" said Hermione.

"This is not something you joke about," said Professor McGonagall.

"Sorry" said Hermione, sheepishly.

"So how will I do this training?" asked Claudia.

"The girl in the mirror" answered Professor McGonagall.

"What's that?"

"It is your reflection. You will travel through the mirror and meet her there. She will help you train" said Professor McGonagall.

"Will my reflection be there?" said Hermione.

"No, it won't. Only a few people have reflections that are actually people. The rest are dead; you are the only one left. So will you do it?" she said.

"You bet!" said Claudia.

"Oh, and there is one more thing. Don't tell Ron or Harry about what you are doing. I will tell them privately. Meet me back here at 10:00. I will give you the instructions and more details." The professor said.

"Okay, see you then," said Claudia.



"Hi, guys! So what did McGonagall want?" asked Ron.

"She, uh, wanted Hermione to help me with some, uh, Charms homework." said Claudia.

"But McGonagall teaches Transfiguration," he said.

"Yeah, Yeah, that's right," she said.

"Okay.whatever," said Ron.

"Hey Ron, we have to go see her now," said Harry.

"Oh, okay. See you guys later!" said Ron.

"Bye!" they said.

"I'll never be able to do this," said Claudia. "How can I leave him? What if I die? What will he do?" She started to cry.

"Don't cry Claud. Everything will be okay. Let's think about now, not the future," said Hermione.

"Okay. I'm glad you're coming with me Hermione."

"Yeah, me too."



It was 9:30. Harry and Ron knew what was happening. They were saying their good-byes. Harry and Hermione looked very busy on the couch in the common room.

"Let's go somewhere more private," said Ron

"Good idea," said Claudia eyeing Harry and Hermione.

Ron led her up to the boy's common room. Claudia was very nervous, because she had no idea what Ron was going to do. He sat down and then patted the bed.

"Sit down. There's something I want to do," said Ron. Claudia sat down nervously.

"Before you go, I want to give you something, because I might not be able to ever do it again."

"Now, that's not true. I'm just going for training. I'll be" but before she could say anything else, Ron had her in his arms and was kissing her, her first real kiss.

"I've got to go," she whispered. But she didn't want to. She wanted him to hold her forever.

"Okay" he said, standing up. "Lets go"



Hermione and Claudia were siting in Professor McGonagall's office, waiting for her to come in.

"Sorry I'm so late girls" the professor said, walking through the door. "I was just doing some last minute planning. Anyway, here's the plan. Claudia, you're reflection's name is Nicki. Now what you to do to get to Mirror land, is go up to the Charms classroom, looking strait at the mirror, then you and Hermione point you're wands directly at the mirror and say Disoaklium. Got it?"

"Got it," they said.

"Have a good trip"

They were silent until they got to the charms room. They stood in front of the mirror.

"Okay, let's give it a shot" said Claudia "One, two, three, DISOAKLIUM!" She and Hermione started spinning very fast. Then they started to move forward right through the mirror. Then they stopped spinning. They had reached Mirror land.
