Sorry if this chapter isn't the best, I worte it during study hall

Discalimer:I don't own Harry Potter

Chara squinted, trying desperately to make out what she was seeing in the foggy mirror. She saw shadows, and…a face. She stared at it, trying to figure out where she'd seen the man before. His face slowly disappeared and was quickly replaced with the face of her mother.

"Mom!" Chara cried out, reaching out but only feeling the cold, smooth surface of the glass.

The scene changed again, now she saw a house, but she was sure that she'd never seen it before. The door opened and a cloaked figure carrying two bundles hurried down the path and out of sight. Chara stared at the house again, until the mirror became foggy, and then she just saw her own reflection.

Wow…I wonder if anyone else has ever seen anything in the mirrors? She turned and left the room.

Kai sighed; he was going to have to do this sometime.

"Hey Rae" he said to her as she entered the common room.

"Hey Kai…umm are you ok? You look sick"

"Yeah…I'm fine…can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure"

"Umm…well…what I was wondering was…well…umm…you see…" Rae raised her eyebrows.

"Umm…well…will…you…umm…will you…"

"Will I what?"

"Never mind!"

"Gosh, I'm sorry I didn't think trying to understand what you were trying to say would upset you so much!" Rae said sarcastically.

"No…it's just…"

"What! Just say it!" Rae shouted, getting a little annoyed.

"Stop yelling! What I was trying to tell you was…ugh, I can't do this!"

"Can't do what? Talk to me? You've never had a problem with it before! You've gotten me in trouble enough times for talking to me in class!"

"We were talking to each other, so it's half your fault!"

"I seem to remember you talking to me several times when I was trying to…"

"Stop! You got me completely of topic!"

"Sorry! Will you just ask me the question already!"

"Fine!…."

"I'm waiting!"

"Umm…do you think it will rain tomorrow?" Kai said meekly.

"That's not what you were going to ask me! Never mind, just leave me alone and ask someone else your dumb question! Maybe you'll have better luck talking to them!" Raelyn said as she stomped back out the portrait hole.

She fumed as she stormed down the hallways, making random turns, until she reached a window where she just sat down next to the window and stared out.

She had really been hoping that Kai would ask her out because she had liked him for ages. But apparently he either didn't really like her that much because he couldn't even ask her a simple question.

"Hey Rae, are you ok?" She heard Dira ask her from behind.

"Oh yeah, I'm absolutely fine!"

"What happened?"

"Nothing"

"Ok then, maybe you can explain why Kai is so upset. He said something about you being mad at him"

"I am! He wanted to ask me a question, but then he couldn't say it. It really sounded like he was gonna ask me out too! And the only question that he could finally spit out was about the damn weather!"

"It's ok" Dira said, hugging Rae who was starting to cry, " I'm sure he was just scared"

"But why was he scared of me? We've known each other forever!" Rae wailed. "Boys are so confusing!"

"They are" Dira agreed, thinking of a certain boy in Ravenclaw named Dylan, who had been looking at her a lot lately.

"So you said you saw faces and shaped in the mirror?" Hermione asked Chara.

"Yeah, one of them was my mom" Chara said. She had found Harry, Ron and Hermione in the library, and then she had managed to find Ava and Zane, but the rest of her friends were somewhere else.

"Funny, I've never heard of this before. It's not in Hogwatrs: A History." Hermione said, "Harry, is it on your map?"

"No, I don't see it" said Harry.

"Do you think you can get back there?" Ava asked.

"I think so."

"Lead on"

So now Chara is gonna show everyone else the mirrors. I wonder what they'll see? And not Rae and Kai are mad at each other? Will they ever make up? Read the next chapter to find out!
