Chapter 15

*okay people I think I messed up on the last line of the last chapter but rather than go back and redo it I'm just going to start this chapter off with it okay so don't get confused!*

"So I guess you can't go home now, since you missed the train," Harry asked Sarah. "Oh well. I wasn't really planning to go home, at all. I like it here much better," Sarah gave off a fake-ish smile as they continued down the hall. Adjusting her bag she reversed the question on to him. "What about you? I'm sure you have hundreds of relatives to go to," Sarah exaggerated.

"Oh, well, actually my families all died. Except my aunt and uncle, but I'd rather not go there," He quickly spat out, trying to get away from the subject. They turned the corner, and he saw it, took him by much surprise. Something Harry thought he would never see again. Like old memories flooding back to him, of times of a family reunion he never attended.

There was a huge mirror with an ancient look. All Sarah could see was Harry and herself, but he seemed to be able to see something, that just wasn't there, some thing more. It was almost as is there was somebody inside the mirror, looking back at them, yet only Harry could see them. "It is." Harry began, "the mirror of Erised."

Sarah, who stood beside the amazed Harry, saw nothing special about the mirror. "Okay then, I have to go meet Sandy, see you tomorrow!" Sarah turned away and headed for the Ravenclaw common room. Harry ran and caught up to her. "So you've never heard of the mirror of Erised?" Harry asked her, a bit shocked.

"Err-no?" Sarah question, as if it was some mumbo jumbo mirror everyone knew about except her.

"The mirror of Erised," Harry said, with a twinkle in his eye. "It shows only, the person's greatest desires, and nothing more," Harry remembered, from what Dumbledore had told him in his first year of Hogwarts. They stopped in front of the Ravenclaw portal. "Oh, uh yea! I'll remember that." She trailed off. "Bye!" She yelled behind her and walked into the common room, where only a few people sat, scattered about.

Two boys in their seventh year and a boy in his sixth sat in a corner eating something that looked like Bernie bot beans and talking. Sandy, who was sitting by the dying fire in the fire place (obviously), hadn't noticed Sarah walked in. Sarah sat beside her, and she looked up, "Oh, hey Sarah!" Sandy greeted her friend.

"Hey Sandy, have you ever heard of the mirror of Erised?" Sarah asked her friend in a serious tone. "Yea, where it shows the deepest wishes?" Sandy answered with a question. "Yes, that's it. Have you ever seen it before?" Sarah questioned trying to keep her voice down. "No, there's only one-" Sandy began. "It's here! Near the potions room," Sarah cut her off. Sandy blinked. "Will you come see it with me? Right now?" Sarah pleated. She would rather have her friend go with her than Harry Potter. Sandy nodded, putting her stuff down, and they ran out of the common room into the hall.

They ran around looking for the mirror. They stopped after ten minutes. "Okay, let's split up, you go that way," Sandy commanded. They split up, running in different directions.

Sarah ran down an empty hall way and came to a screeching halt when see came upon an empty classroom. She looked inside, and no one was there (aka empty as in no people). But the mirror was. Trying not to make noise, so she wouldn't draw attention to the room, she made her way threw the desks and into the back of the class.

She stood five feet away from the mirror. Just far enough so she could only see her self. She knew what she wanted to see, she knew what she would see, and she didn't even have to look in the mirror. But then she took four steps and stood in front of the mirror of Erised.

She looked in the mirror as another began to forum. It was a boy who was looking back at her. Around them (in the mirror) was water. Flowing water with bubbles and some fish and seaweed, he was looking directly into her eyes.

Grabbing her locket she whispered, 'Dylan.' under her breath, and tear passing down her cheek. But then the water disappeared, the fish the seaweed the bubbles, all gone. He changed, from someone who lived under the water to a normal boy. And Sarah saw her finger nails change from blue to a normal colour.

Then she heard a noise and she turned around, pressing her back against the mirror, not wanting to let go of her dream, her desire, and her brother.

But it was someone she never expected, even though she knew she'd be coming sooner or later. Sandy ran up and hugged her when she saw her friend crying. Sarah expected the embrace and broke down into tears. She didn't want to cry, but something inside her, made her.
