AN: I just randomly saw a post on reddit and thought it was funny so I just wanted to write a short oneshot on it.
Arthur Weasley, the current Minister of Magic, walked down the halls, getting ready to go home after a tired day of work.
"Arthur!"
He turned to see none other than Harry Potter running up to him. He had just became the headmaster of Hogwarts months ago.
"I found the Mirror of Erised in an abandoned classroom. I figured your Unspeakables would want to study it for their secret studying stuff."
'The Mirror of Erised?' Arthur thought to himself.
Searching through his mind, he remembered the time when Harry had told him about his midnight trip to the mirror in his first year.
The mirror showed someone's deepest desire.
He has always wanted to see and look inside it, wondering what he really desired. So he said,
"That sounds perfect, just place it outside my office. I'll hand it to the Head Unspeakable tomorrow. Bye, Harry."
The next morning, Arthur said goodbye to his Mollywobbles, took a handful of Floo Powder from the wall, threw it into the fireplace, and yelled, "Minister's Office."
Stepping into his office, the first thing he notices is the huge mirror standing right next to the door. Upon the mirror were the engraved text, 'Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi'
'This must be the Mirror of Erised!' Arthur thought, 'I can finally see what I desire!'
So he took a look into the mirror.
And his reflection stared back at him.
Standing there for ten more seconds and feeling disappointed, he started to turn around.
But not before he spotted something. There was a knowing glint in the reflection's eyes.
'He knows' Arthur realizes, 'exactly the function of a rubber duck.'
