Beneath the Surface
If you think about it long enough, you might figure it out. If you think about it for too long, you'll just get lost.

Author's note: This is chapter sixteen, I know it's been a while, sorry. A note to JTR: get a life, if you could write your own stories you would, but until then don't complain! Lol anyway thank you C.J. (she's my wonderful friend) for the quote. Thanks to Enialedam and Princess55 (some other people too, I love you all) for you reviews, I love (most) of them!
Chapter 16
"What did you see?" Sandy asked, slightly afraid of what the answer might be. Sarah let go of Sandy's embrace and looked away. With out thinking, she grabbed her locket. Sandy realized what she saw.
"You saw the person who gave you the locket, didn't you?" Sandy asked. Sarah didn't respond. "Yes and his picture resides inside of it, right Sarah?" Sandy asked, though trying not to push her.
Sarah looked into her eyes and wanted to let it all go. She wanted to spill her secrets, so there'd be nothing Sandy didn't know. But then they heard it, footsteps. "We have to hide," Sandy whispered. "Hide," Sarah told her friend. Sandy hid inside a cupboard, she knew Sarah wouldn't hide, but she needed to save her self.
The mirror, which for Sarah still held the image of the boy, seemed to draw her in. Sarah sat on her knees in front of the mirror. The boy looked so happy, though Sarah was clearly depressed. They still lay under the water at this point as the foot steps grew much closer.
They entered. "Hello," He said, in a calm voice, "I knew you would be here." He was now standing on the other end of the classroom, though Sarah could not see the reflection. But she didn't have to have a reflection, or have to turn around, and though she had never seen him face to face, she knew who this was talking to her. It was Dumbledore. He moved forward and sat at the desk closest to Sarah.
"You knew what you would see, didn't you?" He asked, already aware of her response. "Well-" She started, "I had hoped, or I thought, and I would have been disappointed if it was not him looking back at me," She gave a weak smile. "You mean-" He started. "Dylan," She cut him off. "Awe yes," He began, "Dylan; it must seem odd having him so close, and yet, so far."
"You mean the mirror?" She asked. "Not just the mirror, but the lake Sarah. You need not play dumb with me, I can read your every though if I desire. Sarah froze; she feared he knew of her plan. "And yes, I do know of your plan," He stated.
Sarah couldn't even find the words to say. "Though, I shall not stand in your way, I am in charge of the school, not the personal thoughts of those who attend it. To not be able to see your brother, your twin for so many years. And having him live in the lake, well, I would do the same as you, I really would," he told her.
She was shocked, "How long have you known the Dylan was-" she couldn't finish, incase it wasn't true, but it was. "Half a Mer person? Just as long as I've known you were half one too," Dumbledore commented.
Grabbing her locket she looked at her nails. "Yes, I know those are not just painted blue, Sarah. And I know that the locket is holding a very important picture of him," he informed her of things she already knew. "Yes," She trailed off. "Very well, I would suggest you go around the last month of school, around exams, and now your friend knows too, she can help you, I'm sure," he snapped his fingers and the cupboard Sandy was hiding in opened. Sandy gave a nervous little wave and Dumbledore nodded.
"Well, if you ever need to talk, I'm in my office most of the time," He advised her. Sarah nodded and stood up as he left. Sandy walked over to her, not knowing what to say. "Will you help me?" Sarah blurted out quickly. Sandy was surprised, but had a confused look on her face.
"Will you help me? I have most of the ingredence, but I'm not sure how to mix them, there is one book I think can help me, But I need you too Sandy. Please say you will," Sarah pleated. She did need help even though she didn't want to admit seeing her brother would take someone else's help. Sandy nodded, and Sarah was thankful to have her as a friend. They decided to go back to their common room, ready to start the holidays trying to get to Dylan!
