Reflection
Lily Potter walked into the empty class room. She had never been here before. She had heard of it from her father many years before when he had told her of his adventures at school, but she had never believed it to be true. The reason that she knew that this room was the right room, was that in the center stood a large mirror, writing adorning the top edge. She smiled and then frowned.
The Mirror of Erised.
Desire.
Hearts desire.
Lily wasn't sure if she really wanted to see her hearts desire, she wanted to know, as she was curious like any other person, but what if her desire was something that Lily did not like.
Her father had said that his desire at eleven had been to have his family. He had seen them all, standing row after row in the mirror; His parents, her grandparents, standing at the front. It was something that his mind had needed.
Lily, at sixteen, could only guess what hers could be. She doubted it would be family, like her dad. She had a family, whom she loved dearly, and even though she wished she could have known her grandparents, she knew that it wasn't her greatest desire. The only problem was that she didn't know what in the world it could be. She took a step towards it, not seeing her reflection yet.
She knew that it wouldn't be like her uncle Ron's. She didn't need to prove herself to her family. She already stood out and was happy about it. She was a Slytherin, she was Quidditch Captain and played the prized Seeker position. She didn't want to be Head Girl, because she hated responsibility. She slowly stepped a little bit closer.
Her father had also told her about Dumbledore's desire. Harry had always said that it had most likely been a lie, after every thing he had found out in his seventh year. She guessed that a pair of socks may be a good estimate for her own desire. She had always loved socks.
Lily looked down at her legs and smirked at the sight of her rainbow stripy ones. They were just so pretty. But then, If her hearts desire was sock, she wouldn't actually have them, she would just want them really badly. She moved a little bit further again, now standing only feet from the mirror, and looked up and saw…
Nothing.
She saw herself standing alone in the mirror, nothing else in there with her except for the clothes she wore.
Her father had told her what Dumbledore had said, about how only the happiest person alive could use this mirror like a normal mirror. But Lily didn't understand, she wasn't always happy. She had her flaws and secret and even desires, surely she wasn't that happy that she had no hearts desire? Even in her confusion, Lily saw something in the mirror, which seemed to be reflecting the room. From behind her, a young man walked up to her side and stared at the Mirror of Erised. Lily could see him clearly in the mirror, his short blonde hair, tall but thin frame and steely silver eyes.
'Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi' he pronounced the inscription quietly. 'What does that mean?' Lily ignored his question.
'What do you see?' she instead questioned him. Scorpius shot her a strange look.
'What else would I see? Us of course. Standing exactly where we are.' Lily was confused now; was this really the Mirror of Erised? If so, It didn't seem to be working. Then something happened. The reflection Lily and Scorpius reached out and linked hands. Her eyes widened. From the corner of her eye, she saw Scorpius look down at their own arms; Lily's by her side, his in his pocket, and then back up at the reflective glass. 'Did you see that?'
'See what?' she asked. Scorpius blushed.
'Never mind, my imagination.' She smiled slightly as she realized that he had seen it too. Then her smile grew when she realized what it meant. Lily sighed, the sigh turning into a yawn.
'I'm going to bed. G'night Scor.' She said and left the room.
Scorpius didn't follow.
He stared at the mirror, transfixed, and watched as the reflection Scorpius pulled the reflection Lily into a hug, the two of them sharing a sweet kiss. He blushed and looked to his right, where Lily was, but realized that she was no longer there. Confused, he looked at the mirror again, Mirror Lily and Scorpius were still there. What the hell was this mirror?
