Chapter 20

James couldn't sleep. He had a dream about a boy that look like him with emerald eyes. His son with Lily, he knew that much. But not because of his eyes. Because in his dream, this boy, Harry, was looking into the Mirror of Erised. The Mirror James had found in his 3rd year and had seen a redheaded girl.

Inside of the mirror Harry saw Lily, Himself, Rachel, Anthony, Rose, Mike, and some people that even James had never seen and they were from his side.

James sat in the basement, thinking when he heard tiny footsteps, too tiny to be Lily's, coming down the stairs. There was a sniffle, and in a flash, Arielle was standing in front of James…crying?

"Arielle? Sweetie, why are you crying?"

"I had a bad dream. I don't want to go back to sleep, I'm scared." She started crying again and James felt so bad for the child.

"Shh it's alright. Come sit on the couch with me. We'll make it better." He comforted. She nodded and climbed onto the couch and hugged James tightly. "Now tell me what it was about."

"I was sitting on my bed in Grandma's house and there were noises from my closet where the monsters hide and they were trying to hurt me." She shuddered, "They were so scary. I saw a green flash and I woke up to see my closet door open. I couldn't find my Mummy so I started looking for you or Aunt Lily down here."

"It's okay Ella, we can stay up and talk until you get tired. Okay?"

She nodded.

"So what is…tre-trenzfeg-?"

"Transfiguration."

"Yeah, tran- that?"

"It's when you change something into something else." James explained.

"That is so cool!" Arielle squealed. "Can you show me some?"

"I'm not allowed to do magic outside of school or in front of mug- uh-you…Sorry. You'll have to visit one day."

"Yeah. The way Aunt Lily talks about it, it's like a castle."

"That's because it is."

She looked at him, and her eyes lightened up as she grinned.

"I think I would want to be a chaser."

"Really? And why is that?"

"Because I want to be like you."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"St-stooging?"

"Uh-huh. It's a foul when you can't have more then one chaser in the scoring area during the Quidditch Match."

"Ooh, okay."

"Jay Jay? Jay Jay are you sleeping?"

"…"

"Okay, goodnight…"

Arielle fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
