-MIRROR MIRROR
Chapter one
By : Perselus
Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk reading a letter he had just received by owl. It was from one of his most trusted spies.
Serverus Snape was taking a big chance writing to Dumbledore at this time, and after reading the letter several times over, he understood why.
Voldemort was going way out of his means this time. Reaching into another dimension bringing someone else here into their world, someone who knows of magic, darker than even their darkest wizards would know.
Dumbledore sighed, "This is not a good sign..."
Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was up to something for some time. He and his death eaters have been quiet for far too long. But Dumbledore never thought that he would be able to pull something like this off.
He looked down at the letter again. Short lines no real information; he would just have to wait until Snape returned with the full report.
Snape didn't return to Hogwarts until right before classes on the following Monday. Dumbledore had to wait to talk to him without being overheard.
So after dinner he called Prof. McGonagall and Prof. Snape to his office.
Snape walked into the headmaster's office behind McGonagall. He saw his letter lying on top of an old leather book. A book Snape had never seen before. Glancing at the title he understood why. But surely Albus wasn't going to THOSE extremes! Dumbledore saw where Snape was looking and read his face.
"I see you have figured out what I'm going to do Serverus."
"No, you can't Headmaster!", Snape was truly shaken by this, "You of all people shouldn't resort to their tactics."
"This is true Serverus, but unless your letter was misleading then I think we do not have a choice.", Replied Dumbledore.
"What's this all about?", asked Prof. McGonagall.
"Well Minerva, it seems that our old adversary had found a new recruit."
"Why is this so important? He gets them all the time, some by extreme cruelty... OH NO! Not the minister of magic?"
"No, no calm yourself Minerva," Cautioned Dumbledore, "No, not him but I'm sorry to say it's far worse, now Serverus, will you please let us in on more details?"
"As you wish headmaster. Well, Voldemort decided that all the death eaters were incompetent for failing so many times, and he needed a more powerful and cunning ally. He created a fire, in which he then put some ingredients in that, I'm not sure what they all were. He kept what he did secret from all of us, then he started to chant in a language I didn't understand. Before long he had called out a name. Nothing happened at first, then the fire twisted and turned onto itself as to create a doorway, first a small man came through. He had sandy hair and glasses, but before the Dark Lord could grow angry at this for this wasn't the man he called. Another man walked through, the first bowed to the latter. The taller man had dark brown hair and deep dark blue eyes. There was something quite evil about him, what some would call a dark attraction."
"Did he say where they were from? What world they were brought forth through?"
"Terra Firma," replied Snape.
There was a gleam in Dumbledore's eyes, as he picked up the book and ran out the door. Snape and McGonagall exchanged looks before running after him.
Dumbledore let them down into the deeper, unused part of the castle. And there, behind a locked door, was the Mirror of Erised.
Dumbledore stood before the mirror and raised his wand and both hands as he called out a cantaetion. A wind was created and started to spin around the room, until an image became clear inside the mirror. It was of an old muggle antique shop.
........................................................................
Hydra Solas looked back behind her to see if her older sister was keeping up. Tethys Solas looked bored and tired. She was pretty in a dark way, though she hardly ever smiled anymore.
Hydra had thought bringing her to London on vacation would wake her up. She was worried about her sister, since the death of her fiancé two years ago; now she just looked like she was walking through life, not really living it. It saddened Hydra to think her sister had become so cold and emotionless.
"Tethys! Look what I found an old antique shop! Lets go in," called Hydra.
"If you wish," Replied Tethys.
Tethys didn't want to be such a burden on her little sister who was rightfully excited on her first trip abroad from America. At 32 Hydra needed some worldly experience. And Tethys, coming up on 36 years of horror, understood this.
Once inside the shop, the first thing to catch Tethys' eyes was a mirror. A very large gilded mirror. There was an inscription carved on top that read, "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi".
"Hey Hydra, what do you make of this?", asked Tethys pointing up at the inscription.
Hydra took a moment to study it. "It shows not your face but your heart's desire," Replied Hydra,"Ohh... isn't that a lovely inscription? I wonder if it works!" On the other side Professor's Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape were watching the two women. Snape thought it was strange that the smaller of the women would catch on to inscription so quickly, and looking at the taller one, he saw on her face a cunning and suspicious look. Like she didn't trust the mirror.
"Look, there they are," Said Dumbeldore.
"Two? Albus?", Asked McGonagall.
"Yes two, two came through for him, we also need two! Only fair."
Snape saw the smaller one look closely through the glass and he, for some reason, needed to back away and hide in the shadows of the room. He wasn't sure why but there was something strange and unsettling about these two women. "LOOK!", said Hydra, "You can see people in the mirror... oh! That's funny, I thought there were three?"
Tethys just got a chill up her spine when her sister said this. She felt as if she was being pulled in by the mirror. As if it said, "Touch me I dear you!"
Tethys couldn't shake this feeling of forbidding. She didn't like the mirror at all! But Hydra seemed taken by it.
To Tethys's horror, Hydra reached out to touch the mirror.
"NOOOOOOO don't Hydra STOP!"
But it was too late. As soon as she made contact with the mirror, she disappeared! Tethys' shock was too great! What had just happened? Where did Hydra go? Then taking a deep breath, she too touched the mirror.
It was like being sucked into a vacuum cleaner, the spinning was intolerable. Just before she thought she was going to be sick, or pass out from the spinning, it suddenly stopped and she fell onto the body of her sister.
"HYDRA!", Tethys yelled as she held her tightly.
"Oh Tethys, I'm so glad I'm not alone!", replied Hydra as she held onto her.
Tethys looked up at the two figures before them. She also saw a third in the shadows behind them. She didn't know what these people wanted but they were in for a fight! Standing up she pulled Hydra behind her.
"Who are you people? What do you want! Where are we!", demanded Tethys.
The old man with a long gray beard and long flowing robes stepped forward, offered them his hand and smiled.
"Welcome to Hogwarts!"
