The Mirror of Erised – by cheesekakke
Possibly the most overdone thing ever, but I thought I just might make something out of it.
Chapter1 : Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
IOOOOI
It was the waxing moon and a foreboding chill blanketed the lightning-struck tower. Dumbledore's eyes widened as he saw the wand pointed at him. He knew it was all over when Snape mouthed the words 'Avada Kedavra'. And as the curse rushed toward him, black took over his world.
When he came to he was in a large empty high-arched room. Getting slowly to his feet, Dumbledore walked to the end of the room and hazarded a glance at the reflective piece of glass.
The Mirror of Erised.
Dumbledore closed his eyes, sighed and opened them again. What he saw amazed him. There before him in the enchanted mirror he saw the golden trio. Harry, Ron and Hermione were standing in from of Hogwarts, laughing and smiling without a care in the world. Everything was green and flourishing and Dumbledore saw the Centaurs among the grounds. Lupin and Tonks were smiling arm in arm, and a little boy ran about their feet. McGonagall sat on a rock nearby, smiling at Dumbledore. But what he saw next brought tears to his eyes. Snape was standing in the background smiling, his pale skin blazing in the sun. Squinting he looked around at the rest of the throng assembled around the castle. Everyone he had ever met stood there, smiling at him and Dumbledore was reassured by his or her gesture. A little dark-haired, fairly handsome boy ran across the scope of the mirror and stopped in the middle and looked straight at him. Dumbledore's heart caught in his throat.
It was a younger Tom Riddle. He smiled an innocent smile and spoke in a soft echoing voice.
"Everything's going to be alright, isn't it Professor?" Dumbledore smiled and nodded. It was going to be just fine. Dumbledore looked one last time at the mirror and noticed that he himself was nowhere in the scene. It meant only one thing. He felt a hand brush his shoulder and another voice spoke in his ear.
"It's time, Albus." Dumbledore turned away from the mirror and smiled at the black void in front of him. A last thought echoed in his mind, and he wouldn't be surprised if it echoed in the world around him.
"You have to go on."
And with his last breath, he let the pull of death envelop him.

Read and Review guys!
(A/N: I was watching the Sorcerer's Stone on TV and the MoE scene inspired this. I am planning to continue this as a little mini-series. So if there is someone you want specifically to look in the MoE, just leave it in your reviews and I'll administer to it in the best of my ability.
I was thinking his mother said that disembodied line, but I really didn't know who was influential in his life, so.)
Alas, earwax!
