Chapter 7
A mirror and what you see

Blink 182"I Miss You"

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

The shadow in the background of the morgue

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

Where you can always find me

We'll have Halloween on Christmas

And in the night we'll wish this never ends

We'll wish this never ends

(I miss you I miss you)

(I miss you I miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness

Comes creeping on so haunting every time

And as I stare I counted

Webs from all the spiders

Catching things and eating their insides

Like indecision to call you

and hear your voice of treason

Will you come home and stop this pain tonight

Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

( I love Blink 182 also there the bomb)

**************** James walked closer to the mirror, he saw something to appear it was his father and him playing Qiudditch, he closed his eyes and opened them again what the, what was going on his father was never home at all he was always tracking down the dark wizards, James looked at the thing engraved around the mirror it didn't under stand it but then he noticed the word Erised, Erised why was the so familiar his mother had told him about once wait the was the Mirror of Erised (DUH moment) the Mirror of Erised showed what your heart desires, James stared at it stupidly he'd love to be there spending time with his farther the last time he had seen him was on Christmas the very next morning her went back out to work due to an attack.

James stared at it for a while before remembering he had come down here cause he was hungry not to stare at the Mirror (James has self control unlike evil Harry).

James walked into the Great Hall where sat Sirius, Draco and Remus with the trio of Ginny, Bella and Stacie.

"Hey Jamey Poo", said Sirius "sleep well", he said grinning evilly causing James to blush slightly.

"Uh yer I had a great rest why Sirius", James said slightly flustered.

"Na it's just nice to wake up to a woman in the morning", Sirius said smirking slightly.

"Sirius you sick deluded child", said Ginny.

"What, what I say", he said asking very innocently.

Ginny just smiled, James stared scoffing down food thanking who ever up there liked him, cause know Sirius and Bella where absorbed in a conversation and the rest in one about Qiudditch.

Lily walked in only a second latter, smiling like an idiot, "Morning guys", she said happily.

"So Lily how is it waking up to a man in the morning", Sirius said once again grinning evilly.

Lily stared at Sirius oddly "What Sirius, I woke up in my bed", she said.

"What, JAMES HOW COULD YOU THAT DISGUSTING!" Bella cried.

"What I do know", James said looking up.

"You and Lily", Sirius said bringing his eyes together suggestively.

"SIRIUS BLACK WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT", Lily said literally screaming, but also trying to cover up her shock.

"What you said you woke up in your bed", Sirius said stupidly.

"So I could have woken up in my bed alone", Lily said shaking her head at him.

"Hey I'm a guy", he said defensively.

"Pft", Lily said.

"Yer whatever any way guys I was wondering if any of you have started studding for N.E.W.T's", Lily said trying to change the subject.

"Lily chill the year has just started", said James.

"Hmp", was all Lily said.

"Hey guys I got something I want to show you something after breakfast", James said deciding to show them the mirror.

"What Jamsie What?" Sirius asked jumping up and down.

"Just wait and see", James said.

"I don't like surprises", Sirius wailed.

"Know that's a lie", James said.

"Hmm nobody likes me", Sirius said.

"Yer that's true", Remus said.

"I think I'll go and cough up slugs big fat gunky ones thin slime yellow ones and pink frilly ones with lots of green gunk on there face", Sirius said the last bit pulling out a photo.

"SIRIUS BLACK GIVE THAT BACK", James roared as he lunged across the table trying to make a grab for the item but passing right by it.

"Oh Jamsie Poo tis not thi bad", Sirius said putting the back of his hand on his head looking very dramatic.

James noticed Sirius mistake and grabbed the piece of paper in his hand, "Incendo", he shouted as flames hungrily licked at the photo turning it into ash. He forwarded on Sirius "run", was all he said and Sirius did so he was half way across the hall when James cried, "Tedeenince", but Sirius fell on the ground so the spell went over him and hit the person entering the hall who stared growing hair and big ears and a large pink skirt like thing appeared around it's waste along with diamond tiara , it was Snape who James had hit and know he was turning in to a giant teddy bear with a PINK SKIRT. (Random)

James and Sirius looked at each other then tumbled over laughing as soon the rest of the early wakers did to, James whipped a tear away from his eyes he was laughing that hard.

"Mister Potter and Mister Black", said a cheerful voice from behind them both boys turned around to see the Headmaster.

"If I where you I'd turn him back before Professor McGonagall arrives and gives you detention and deducts house points", he said to the two boys and walked away as James turned Snape back which earned a glare from Snape, James just regarded it with a smirk.

"CAN I SHOW YOU GUYS KNOW", James whined.

"Oh I see no harm", said Remus.

"Oh but I sure do", Stacie replied looking at Remus smiling who returned the warm gesture.

"Come On", James said as the followed him back to the room, he opened the door to find the mirror still there "go and look in it", he said.

"I don't know James", Lily said wearily.

"Hmm I'll go first", said Sirius as he walked over to the mirror a smile spread over his face, he saw him and Bella standing hand in hand looking out on to the lake very happy.

"Oh Bella you gotta see this", said Sirius happily, Bella came over and looked over Sirius shoulder to see him and her dancing alone in a tower with a view of the lake and the moon shining down and all.

"It's so pretty", Bella said.

"Yer isn't it", Sirius replied hugging his girlfriend.

"HELLO GUYS WHERE HERE", James screamed.

"So close your eyes", Sirius said as he kissed Bella.

"Oh come on James it's cute", Lily said but Draco and Remus made disgusted noises.

"Draco shove a sock in it", Ginny said.

"Make me", he teased.

"I don't have to try your turn to look in the mirror", Ginny said.

Draco looked into the mirror smiling there was the marauders and all Ginny there too they where all smiling and waving, but he paled when he noticed that Ginny and him were kissing WHAT! he though stupidly the Draco in the mirror was to absorbed with kissing Ginny to even wave, but then it faded as if he had it already and he saw his father hugging him playing with him and showing love towards him, not the cold Lucius Malfoy that he was, but a father that loved him.

Draco shock his head his eyes had darkened he went silent and walked over to the step and sat down dazed.

"What you see Draco?" Ginny asked.

"I don't actually understand what I saw", he said honestly looking at her noting that she really was gorgeous, beautiful Potter honestly was blind not to notice her, but so was he hadn't notice till just know.

"I want to see what have a look", Lily said stepping up closer to it

"Oh but before you weren't sure", James teased.

Lily just stared at the mirror her eyes widened there was Petunia and her playing games like they once had before she had started Hogwarts talking laughing being sister like for once in there lives which had gone when she had got her letter to Hogwarts before she left her sister and came back to find the heartless sister which she know had a tear went down her cheek softly plummeting to the ground with a splash which seemed to echo.

"Lily are you okay", James asked alarmed.

"Yes Erh I'm fine don't worry", she said smiling as she whipped the tears away.

"You sure", he asked concerned know.

"Yer James don't worry", Lily said.

Remus looked into the mirror he saw his parents and him out on a picnic the full moon was shinnying down, he knew what he wanted in his life most he wasn't a werewolf he smiled fondly at the image.

"What do you see Remus", Stacie asked.

"I wasn't a Werewolf anymore", he said smiling at her she nodded and looked into the mirror.

Stacie blushed at what she saw she saw her and Remus holding hands and walking together happily.

"What did you see", Remus asked her.

"Not much just my family and friends", Stacie said hoping it sounded okay, Remus raised his eye brow but didn't question any further.

"My turn", Ginny said smiling as she walked towards the mirror she looked at and she froze there was Tom Riddle hand reaching out his mouth screaming 'no' as Harry put the diary through the fang of the Basilisk, she saw the hole appear in him and he started fading disappearing, in to dust as Harry stabbed the dairy through the fang once again. She lay unconscious on the cold floor, Ginny's eyes widened that was how Harry had killed the Tom in the Chamber, she had always wondered how with all heart and her she saw it and it scared her as she saw the Basilisk dead his eyes red and pocked out it disgusted her there was to much blood every where for only three people there was to much blood over the place.

Then as the picture changed Ginny looked away not wanting to see what else it held, but if she had she would of seen something that also disturbed her maybe even more and it did involve a young man with blonde hair.

"That wasn't that pleasant", said Ginny, everybody slightly picked up not to ask her.

"I want to play more Qiudditch", Sirius said.

"We did that yesterday", Ginny said.

"I have and idea" Remus said suddenly.

"What?" James asked.

"Lets have a snow ball fight", he answered.

"I'd say that would be a brilliant idea only if it was WINTER", James said looking at him.

"James my old chap it's called a weather charm", Remus said.

"Rem that's really hard stuff mate", Sirius said.

"Watch and learn", Remus said "Snowendo", he said pointing his wand up at the ceiling and snow started falling as it grew slightly chilly.

"Yah snow", Ginny shouted.

"Remus where did you learn that?" James asked.

"It's called a book James", Remus said smiling.

"Wait on second", Lily said, "Repero Until", she spoke clearly pointing her wand at the mirror, then the ground "Foamedo", she said as the ground under neath them softened.

"What did you just do?" Ginny asked Lily not really getting it.

"Made it so we wont break the mirror and made the ground softer so nobody ends up unconscious", she explained.

"Nice thinking", Ginny said.

Bella let out a scream and every body turned to look at her, speck of ice all over her face.

"SIRIUS BLACK I"LL KILL YOU", she screamed as she scooped up a large piece of snow sending it his way SPLAT it landed on his nose.

"It's cold", Sirius said smiling.

Ginny picked up a piece and aimed it straight at Lily, but the snow ball nearly dropped out of her hand as something cold hit her neck, she swung around to see Draco grinning evilly.

"Oh Draco you're a dead man", she said as threw the snow ball but he caught it with his seeker reflexes and scooped up hole bunch of snow and chucked it at her but Ginny ducked and it hit Remus who turned around snow ball already in his hand and chucked right at Draco's face.

"Yah Remus", Ginny said jumping up and down but when Draco was on his feet again she let out a scream as he started chasing her around Stacie had hit Remus while James and Lily stood there laughing.

"Draco are you thinking what I'm think?" Ginny asked.

"Deepened you thinking about pink ferrets?" he asked, Ginny giggled and smiled at him.

"No you dolt I'm thinking we should get Lily and James", she said to Draco who smirked as he scooped up and aimed for James as Ginny did the same but only for Lily.

"One Two Three Go", Ginny shouted as she and Draco chucked snow balls at the unsuspecting people who fell to the ground when hit.

"Ginny", Lily cried as she scooped up some snow and chucked it at a laughing Ginny as James did the same to Draco.

Stacie smiled at all the laughter but turned to notice a snow ball come flying her way she gave a yelp and jumped sideways bumping into Remus who staggered falling onto the ground followed by Stacie on top of him, she laughed as she fell Remus just stared at her, she had her hair falling around her and her eyes shined, he gulped as he fell to the ground. She was only inches away from him and god damn she was amazingly perfect to him, When she stopped laughing she noticed who she was on top she tried to get of Remus but it only caused them to move closer together.

"Opps", she said smiling at him.

Remus smiled back a Stacie (REMUS HAS SELF CONTROL LIKE JAMES ) Stacie let out a breath as she slightly seemed to come closer to Remus the slightest, and bang there went Remus's self control he put one hand around Stacie's waste and another one in her hair bringing her closer to him, and Remus kissed Stacie lying in the charmed snow it first started slightly uncertain but finally Stacie started kissing him back they where un aware of all the friends stopping to look at them, but finally Sirius let out a wolf whistle and the other's laughed as they both pulled apart suddenly very shocked.

"You know I could get used to that", Remus said.

"I know so could I", Stacie said.

"Well next time you could get a room if you plan on snogging that long", Draco said.

"Yer come on at least me and Bella don't start snogging in front of you", Sirius said earning him scoffing looks from the others.

"What", Sirius said, but he was soon covered in so much snow he looked like a snow man.

Ginny smiled at it all then she remembered what day it was it was Sunday Ron's birthday was in three days and she wasn't going to be there,

***************************** Lily came into the common room it was a Thursday day afternoon, her lips puffy and red she came sat down next to the marauder and the trio of girls.

"Who have you been snogging Lily?" asked Bella

James looked up like lightning but only Ginny and Draco along with Sirius seemed to notice.

"Huh what do you mean?" Lily asked but you could see the blush rising in her cheeks.

"Who is he, is he hot?" Bella asked.

"Hey Bella I'm right her and I'm hot", Sirius said smiling stupidly.

"Yer whatever", she replied going back to her friend "So who is he",

"I have a date with Hunter Weston", she said blushing.

"Oh my god he is like one of the hottest guys in sixth year and his Huffelpuff seeker", Bella squealed.

"Yer also one of the smartest student in our year", Stacie said.

"Hey you know I can cancel that date to Hogsemede this weekend if you'd rather go and date him", Remus said sulky.

"What you didn't tell me you where going to Hogsemede with Stacie this weekend", James said pretending to be hurt.

"Um slipped my mind so Lily who are you seeing again", Remus said changing the subject.

"Oh my god your seeing Hunter Weston", Bella said starting again.

"Hey Sirius what's the time?" James asked.

"7:45", Sirius replied.

"Gotta go guys see you", James said as he got up and left he didn't have anywhere to go but he didn't want to sit here and listen to Lily talk about her new boyfriend.

"Where do you have to go Jamsie", Sirius asked.

"For me to know and you not to find out", he replied and walked out of the common room smiling but as soon as he closed the door the smiled left his face.

He started heading back to the mirror where they had left the snow charm he'd play around or do something to do in the snow.

James opened the door to the door and scowled somebody had taken the snow charm down, that's not fare he thought he walked towards the mirror he looked at it he sighed there was his father and him again, he closed his eyes he was hurt he didn't know why he should give if Lily was dating some guy or the other, but he was upset and he actually wasn't sure why, James opened his eyes and looked into the mirror he saw something that made his eyes widen, this time instead of spending time with his father he saw him an Lily (know it was predictable) sitting together talking and just getting along, she had her head leaning against his shoulder he was hugging her and the they where looking out onto a lake with the giant squid jumping in and out (I know bit cheesy).

"I'm losing it aren't I", James muttered to himself getting up and walking out of the room and walked right into somebody nearly making them fall to the ground but he caught them.

"Sorry", muttered to the figure.

"Don't worr- hey Peter where have you been?" James asked the little boy in front of him noticing it was his friend.

"Erh nothing just tutoring", Peter said.

"So Peter your sure it's only tutoring because lately you've been awfully busy", James said in a teasing tone.

"Yes it is", Peter said rather too loudly.

"Uh ha", James said "how long have you been seeing her buddy?" James asked.

"who?" Peter asked playing stupid.

"Peter", James said in a warning tone.

"Fine , I asked Jenny out a week after she started tutoring me", Peter said going a dark shade of red.

"Ohhhhh is her name Jenny is it know", said James.

"Shut Up James it's not like you have a girlfriend at the moment", Peter said.

"Well thank you Captain obvious", said James glumly.

"Yep that's me, so what you been doing lately?" Peter asked.

"Hmm not much", he said there was a silence for a why'll they both seemed to be thinking to them sleeves at the moment.

"Hey race you back to the common room", James said suddenly as he took of down the corridor leaving a confused Peter who soon took of after him.

"James wait up", puffed the larger boy as he finally reached the common room to see it shut quickly in front of him "Jelly Beans", he said through panting breaths as the portrait swung open.

"Pete over here mate", said Sirius as he entered.

"What do you guys want?" James asked as he too sat down.

"Shh", Remus said.

"What?" Peter asked looking at them.

"You know that Lily's birthday this coming Saturday and we have to throw her a Birthday Party", Sirius said in a hushed tone as if scared that someone heard which was odd cause there was no one in sight except the group of five boys in the corner.

"Okay so what we doing?" Peter asked.

"Well were chucking her a surprise party so don't tell her okay", Draco said.

"Okay what ever", James said really not wanting to talk about Lily.

"You know James if you didn't deny it so often and chat up other girls I'd honestly believe that you really have a huge thing for Lily", Remus said in a hinting tone as if stating that he thought James did, but all James did though was glare at Remus who stuck his tongue out at James in reply.

"I'm tired so I'm hitting the hay", Draco after a while.

"Hm me too", James agreed.

Both boys got up and headed towards the steps towards there dorms "You really do have a thing for Lily don't you James?" Draco asked.

"It's not like it matters know does is it", James stated but it seemed as if he was asking him in some way.

"James mate never give up hope", Draco said with a nod changed into his boxers and went to sleep.

James however stayed up looking at the top of his canopy the red satin above him so much like Lily's hair, DAMIT BOY he told him self where is your self control.

James shock him self mentally as he turned and buried his head into his pillow trying to fall into the jaws of sleep.
