Chapter 2 - Two Mirrors
As soon as Sirius heard the words "It's Harry" he immediately stopped what he was doing, grabbed James and Lily's arms and ran out the door practically dragging them behind him. He finally let go of them and found himself forgetting what he was doing for a moment. Then, remembering, he started picking up speed again and headed towards his house.
When the threesome arrived at Number 12 Grimwald Place Sirius quickly dashed inside and started searching for his small mirror. He eventually found it and smiled happily at it. "So that's where your old mirror got to!" exclaimed James. "Where's mine?" Sirius's smile faded. "I gave it to Harry about a month before..." his words seemed to drift off into thin air.
"Well anyway" he said "what's the news on Harry" "Well" said Lily after recuperating from the whole "mirror" episode. She took a deep breath, sat down on an old floral chair and then explained. "Well as you know James and I were going on a walk to checkup on Harry at the mirror down in Central Hall. When we got there we saw Harry, as usual, hanging out with his friends Hermione and Ron." "It appeared they were studying" James added. "Yes, well, anyway, on with the point. They were "studying" and all of a sudden a large dark cloud covered the entire grounds.
We saw that there were Dementors everywhere, but weren't afraid because as you know Harry and most of his classmates could produce very nice Patronuses. You know after all those D.A. meetings." "Yes" Sirius piped up. "After the Dementors appeared" James said "Dumbledore had all the students head back into the Castle and up to their dormitories. Now since Ron and Hermione are Prefects they had to leave Harry behind and go gather up the rest of the Gryffindor students."
"When Harry was left alone" Lily continued, for James was not a great storyteller for a long period of time. "One of those foul creatures somehow crept into the Gryffindor common room and grabbed Harry. No one was witness to this. We saw the dementor fly out the window with him screaming 'Help! Ron! Hermione! Professor Dumbledoooooooooore!'
And then the screen on the mirror went blank." Sirius was silent. He held the mirror tight in one hand and Mr. Pookie in his other, both of them hugged tightly to his chest. He just sat there, in the corner on the floor, without showing one facial expression, just a blank, I can't believe something like that could happen face.
