"Emilia." A voice whispered from behind her. She jumped and her wand clattered to the ground, causing the room to go dark again.

"Who's there?" Emilia said, her voice quivering.

"Me." Harry said, appearing into the darkness.

"Don't do that." Emilia said, as picked up her wand and glared at him.

"Come with me, I want to show you something." Harry told her.

"Do you know what time it is?" Emilia said.

"Please, Emilia." Harry begged.

"All right, but if we get caught it's your fault." Emilia said. Harry ducked back under his invisibility cloak and Emilia turned herself into a piece of paper, which Harry stuck in his robe pocket. Before long Emilia felt Harry's hand grab her and set her on the cold floor. Emilia got up off the ground and stretched.

"Where are we?" she asked.

"I don't really know, but look." he said, pointing to the corner. In the corner stood a large mirror, covered in spider webs and dust.

"Stand in front of it." Harry told her. Emilia stood in front of the mirror and looked into it. She saw herself in the mirror, but there were other people there to. Her mother and father, Harry, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Suddenly she heard a noise from the far corner of the room. Emilia transfigured and hid behind the mirror, but Harry was to slow.

"Hello, Harry." Professor Dumbledore said, stepping out from the shadows.

"Hello, Professor." Harry replied, hanging his head.

"You are not in trouble this time Harry." he said,

"and neither are you Emilia." he continued, looking towards the mirror. Emilia fluttered out from behind the mirror and perched herself on Dumbledore's finger.

"You are getting very good at that, Emilia." he said, smiling. He set her down on the floor and she transfigured back to her normal self.

"You two better get back to your beds." Dumbledore told them.

"Yes, Professor." Emilia said, and she headed towards the door.

"Professor?" Harry said, before she reached the door.

"Yes, Harry." Dumbledore replied.

"What is that thing?" Harry said, pointing to the mirror.

"That Harry, is the Mirror of Erised." Dumbledore explained.

"Oh." Harry said.

"How could I see my parents if they are dead?" Emilia blurted out. Dumbledore smiled at her and said,

"The mirror shows whatever your heart desires." When Emilia and Harry got back to the Common Room after talking to Dumbledore, they each went their separate ways. Emilia crawled into her bed but couldn't sleep. She lay in her bed thinking about classes starting, and her parents. As she thought of them, who they must have been, tears began to run down her cheeks.

"Are you ok?" Jess said, from her bed.

"I'm fine." Emilia blurted out, as she wiped her face with her sleeve.

"Are you sure, you don't sound fine." Jess continued.

"I'm fine." Emilia yelled, and she turned so her back was to Jess. Emilia closed her eyes and sighed. She eventually fell asleep under her

covers in her robe.
When she woke the next morning her eyes were still puffy and she had a bad migraine. Hermione helped her out of bed and brushed her hair.

"This isn't like you Emilia, you're acting like a zombie." Hermione thought out loud. Emilia said nothing and continued to look off in the distance. As they ate breakfast in the Great Hall, Emilia said nothing. This continued for the rest of the day. As they sat in the Common Room that night, Emilia finally spoke.

"Do you know when were going to have that New Years wizard banquet?" she said. Everyone starred at her, almost shocked.

"It is going to be next week." Hermione told her.

"Thanks." Emilia replied, and she headed off to bed. A whole week went by and Emilia still hadn't told anyone what was bothering her. The night of the New Years Banquet, all the girls got dressed up and did their hair. All the boys wore tuxedos and ties. The group of friends headed down together. They enjoyed the wonderful food and danced. As Emilia danced with Harry she began to get choked up and her makeup began to run. Hermione saw this and the two of them rushed to the girl's washroom. While they were gone Jess took turns dancing with Harry and Ron. Just as they were about to start a slow dance, the doors of the Great Hall banged open and Professor Quirrel ran through them.

"Troll in the Dungeon!" he yelled. The whole Hall went into a panic. Students were running every which way and some were in such shock that they just stood and cried.

"Silence!" Dumbledore yelled. This word bounced off the walls covered in streamers; the ceiling covered with jack-o- lanterns; the tables covered with candies and other delicacies. The whole room went dead quiet.

"I want all houses to return to your dormitories immediately." Dumbledore said calmly. The students filed out, and the Great Hall was left bare except for the limp form of Professor Quirrel on the floor. As Harry, Ron and Jessica headed up the stairs they all remembered that Hermione and Emilia were still in the washroom.

"Let's go!" Harry told Ron and Jessica and so they rushed off in the direction of the girl's washroom.

Hermione shut the door behind Emilia and grabbed a piece of toilet paper from a stall. "Here, wipe your eyes." Hermione told Emilia.

"Thanks." Emilia said.

"What's been bugging you?" Hermione asked, fixing her hair in the mirror. Emilia sat down on the floor her back against the stone wall.

"I saw my parents in this special mirror." Emilia said, deciding to finally confess.

"Really, what kind of mirror was it?" Hermione exclaimed.

"It shows you whatever your heart desires." she explained. Suddenly they heard large footsteps echoing down the corridor heading in their direction.

"What should we do?" Emilia said, looking at Hermione frantically.

"Hide." Hermione whispered. The two girl's ran into the last stall just as the washroom door crashed open. Emilia grabbed her wand, ready to use it if need be.

"What is it?" Hermione whispered, below her breath. Emilia looked under the door and saw a large troll standing in the doorway. Emilia looked at Hermione and gulped.

"It's a troll." Emilia whispered. The troll heard Emilia and began to get agitated. He stomped into the middle of the room and began to break the stalls with a large wooden club he held in his hand. Both Hermione and Emilia screamed.

Harry, Jessica and Ron heard them as they raced down the corridor. They entered the washroom just as the troll broke the last stall and had Emilia and Hermione cornered.

"Hey, stupid!" Ron yelled at the troll, as he hit him in the head with a stick of wood. The troll turned around and started to swing his club at them.

"What should we do now?" Harry yelled, above the troll.

"Use your wand!" Hermione yelled. Harry pulled out his wand and got hit square in the chest with the club. Harry was lifted off the ground.

"Help!" he yelled. Ron looked confused at Hermione.

"Swish and flick!" Emilia yelled, tracing the air with her finger.

"Oh great." Harry yelled, Emilia looked up. There was her brother, hanging from the trolls neck, his wand stuck in the trolls nose.

"Nice one!" she yelled up at him. Just as she said this Harry fell and landed hard on the stone next to her and Hermione.

"Are you all right!" Emilia exclaimed.

"I'll be fine." Harry said, rubbing his backside.

"Help!" Ron sputtered. Emilia looked up from Harry and saw Ron frozen in place.

"Come on, you can do it, swish and flick!" Emilia repeated.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" he yelled. The troll swung his club, but it remained in mid-air. Ron flicked his wand and the club landed with a thud on the trolls head. It swayed back and forth and collapsed onto the stone floor.

"That was amazing!" Emilia shouted, as she stood up and gave Ron a hug. Ron blushed, but before he could say anything, a group of teachers led by Dumbledore, entered the washroom.
