Chapter 7

What I Most Desire

Weeks went by and I never found myself along with Malfoy. I was starting to feel like a real apology would never happen. Maybe Malfoy just didn't know how to give a real apology and he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of me. Either way, I was starting to act like a jerk around him more and more often.

"Hey is something wrong?" Zabini asked, jerking my thoughts back to reality.

"Uh, no." I said slowly.

"You sure?" He persisted with a raised eyebrow. "You've been glaring at your Transfiguration homework for the last half hour."

"Yeah," I replied. "Just lost in thought." Zabini shrugged and turned back to the potions essay he had been working on.

I stood up and walked towards the common room door leading out to the dungeons. It has been a while since I made time to see my brother, and seeing as it was the weekend, I decided to see what he was up to. Besides I was getting tired of doing my homework. "Where are you going?" I heard Malfoy ask. I didn't bother to turn around when I replied,

"To see Harry."

Harry POV

These last few weeks have really sucked. First, we lost the Quidditch game against Slytherin. The only reason we lost was because Chloe flew right in front of me when I was about to reach for the snitch. She had apologized multiple times, but I still felt upset at her for it. She swore up and down that she hadn't intentionally flew in front of me, she was just so consumed with scoring another goal she hadn't seen me in the way.

Second, in Potions Snape has been pushing us hard. It seems like he lets the Slytherins off a little, because they don't seem to work as hard, especially Malfoy. I really don't like him. He always makes fun of me, or someone else in the Gryffindor house. And I can't help but notice Chloe laughs at all his jokes, well except for the ones about me. Then she pushes him, but it isn't a 'don't do that anymore' push, it's a playful push like 'that's mean, but so funny it doesn't really matter'. I honestly had no idea what she saw in him as a friend, or any of the Slytherin's as friends really.

Hermione dragged Ron and me into the library to study. She was sitting across from me, and Ron was next to me. Ron had dozed off, and Hermione was whispering something to herself. I looked back down at the book I was supposedly studying from and closed it. I was starting to get tired of studying.

"Something wrong Harry?" Hermione asked, looking up from her book.

"I'm just tired of studying." I said turning to Ron. I grabbed his shoulder and shook it.

"THE ANSWER IS FIFTY-FIVE!" Ron yelled.

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked, "We are in a library so keep your voice down!" she added glaring at Ron.

"Sorry, didn't mean to." He said sheepishly.

"Come on, let's get out of here before Pince comes and yells at Ron for yelling." I said looking for any reason to get out of the library.

"Fine, I'll just have to study in the common room tonight." Hermione sighed packing her books. I also started to pack up my things.

"Thank god we're finally leaving." Ron said stretching.

We were on our way to the Gryffindor common room when I saw a familiar figure walking towards us.

"Harry!" Chloe exclaimed running up to me. She gave me a hug and nodded to Ron and Hermione.

"What are you doing here?" I asked surprised to see her without her group of Slytherin friends.

"I was looking for you." She shrugged turning to walk with us.

"Oh, I thought you'd be with Malfoy." I said as casually as I could.

"Nah, everyone was doing their homework, and I already finished mine. Where are we going?" She asked casually.

"Well, we were heading back to the common room." I answered as we continued to walk down the corridor.

"Oh, well if you want, I can leave." She sounded a bit disappointed. I started to feel bad for kind of bushing her off.

"No, it's okay," I started, "Hey you guys can go ahead; I'll hang out with Chloe." I added turning to Ron and Hermione.

"Sure, whatever." Ron said glaring at Chloe. I looked to see her reaction, and she was just glaring right back at him. I sighed and started walking away from him. Ever since Chloe was sorted into Slytherin, her and Ron didn't seem to get along anymore. I found this rather annoying.

"What's his problem?" Chloe asked as soon as we were out of earshot.

"He thinks that since you're in Slytherin that you're going to be evil." I answered slowly. I didn't want to keep any secrets from my sister, and I hoped that she wouldn't keep any secrets from me.

"What? Why would he think that?" She responded taken aback.

"Well, he says that there isn't a witch or wizard in Slytherin that hasn't gone to the bad side."

"That's ridiculous!" Chloe exclaimed. "Just because there are some Slytherin's that go bad doesn't mean every single of us has to."

"I think you're right." I said quickly. "I mean, you won't go all evil on me, will you?" I asked jokingly. I nudged her in the stomach playfully.

"Hmmm…"

"You actually have to think about it?" I asked shocked.

"No! I just wanted to see your reaction!" she said laughing. We spent the rest of the day together walking around the castle. We talked about schoolwork and quidditch. It felt good to catch up with my sister after spending time apart. I really did miss her, but I had decided that she had a point when she said we needed to become our own person. We also decided that we weren't going back to the Dursley's for Christmas.

Chloe POV

I can't believe Harry actually had to ask me if I wanted to go back to the Dursley's for Christmas. He knows better than anyone, well maybe except Malfoy, that I hate them. I don't want to spend any more time with them. Ever.

Time went on like normal, except that I had noticed Pansy being more attached to Malfoy than before. I wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that I had given him a kiss on the cheek, and she was jealous of it. I had explained to her already that it didn't mean anything more than a thank you for defeating the troll, but it seems my explanation didn't matter. She had been sitting between Malfoy and me every chance she got. She also started clinging to his arm while we all walked down the corridors together. I even think Malfoy is getting tired of it. Although, that's kind of hard to picture seeing at he loves to get attention.

When Christmas break came, basically all my friends went home for the Holiday. I sulked in the Slytherin common room for nearly an entire day, when I realized Harry was still here. God, I could I forget my own brother? I chastised myself and left the common room to find him.

Harry was in the library looking through some old books. I crept up behind him and gave him a hug. He jumped and made a funny noise before he turned around to see me.

"Hey Chloe, what was that for?" he asked.

"I was just saying hi." I said putting on a pouting face.

"Well, hi to you too. Where have you been all day? I've been looking for you." Harry questioned me as he turned back to the books he was looking over.

"I was just hanging out in the common room."

"Well want to help me look through some of these books? Ron decided I've been in here too long and left."

"Sure, what are you looking for?" I asked curiously.

"Anything that relates to Nicholas Flamel."

"Why him, he doesn't sound that important." I said frowning. Harry looked at me and explained everything. He told me how he noticed that Snape had been cut on his leg on Halloween. And even that he, Ron, and Hermione had been in the third-floor corridor where they saw a three-headed dog, that was guarding something, and that it belonged to Nicholas Flamel. Hagrid had accidently told them that piece of information. My brother found a full-on mystery in Hogwarts while I was carrying like normal. I was a bit jealous of his ability to find interesting things to occupy his time.

We spent the next few days in the library looking for information about Nicholas Flamel. We had no luck, and I told Harry we should take a break. He agreed and we made plans to start looking again after the Holidays. All this looking though the library was starting to get boring. I was ready to move on from the mystery of what the three-headed dog was guarding.

Christmas morning arrived and I woke up to a bundle at the end of my bed. Excitedly I looked through the packages and saw Malfoy had gotten me something. Smiling I opened the box and found chocolates and various other sweets that I had never tasted before. I went through and tasted a couple before moving on to my other gifts.

I slowly worked my way opening gifts from Pansy, Zabini, even Crabbe and Goyle. Harry had gotten me a new set of earrings that were in a shape of a snake. When I got to the last gift it didn't have a name on it. Just a note saying, "Your father left this in my possession before he died. It's time it was returned to you. Use it well" Eagerly I opened the package up to find a cloak.

"What the?" I said out loud. I stood up and held across from me. It was far too big, and an ugly color. However, I tried it on anyway. To my surprise I found that my body was gone. I had looked down to see how it looked on me, and I didn't see anything. I stared at the space where my body should have been in wonderment. Smiling to myself, I looked in a mirror. You couldn't see my body there either. I decided that I would now have to play a trick on my brother later that day. I wonder why my father had a cloak that could turn you invisible.

Harry and I got together for lunch, and we talked about what we had received. I told him that I loved the earrings that he got for me and showed him that I was wearing them. Harry got a wooden flute from Hagrid, some fudge and a sweater from Ron's mom, and some chocolate frogs from Hermione. I excused myself to the bathroom.

I waited five minutes in the bathroom before I decided to go back. Before I left, I slipped the cloak on, walked back out to Harry. He was waiting for me by the front doors.

I walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. He turned and looked for whoever tapped him. He didn't see me, and I had to suppress a laugh that was building up inside me. I walked to the other side of him, took the cloak off, and put it back inside my bag. Right when I closed my bag Harry turned and looked at me. He yelled and jumped back.

"When did you get here?" he asked after he realized it was just me.

"Like a second ago. Who were you looking for?" I asked smiling, still tryin to contain my laughter.

"I'm pretty sure someone tapped me, and I was just looking to see who it was." He said looking around the corridor. We were the only ones there.

"Well, what would you say if I told you, it was me?"

"I'd say it was impossible. I would have seen you."

"What if I was invisible?"

"You can't be invisible. We haven't learned that spell yet. That is if there even is a spell to turn invisible."

I smiled and pulled out the cloak. I had to tell him, after all it was our fathers, and he had a right to know about it. I slipped it on and heard him gasp. "How did you do that?" He asked in awe.

"I'm not sure, but it was our father's." I said reappearing.

"What do you mean?" He asked confused. I showed him the note that had come with the gift. "That's really cool." He said after reading the note.

"We can look through books now after the library closes!" I said out loud as the thought came to me.

"Alright tonight, come by the Gryffindor common room under the cloak at midnight. I'll come out, and we'll hide under the cloak together." Harry said nodding. The cloak was definitely big enough for us to hid under it together.

The rest of the day we spent eagerly chatting about what we were going to do tonight. Dinner passed by soon, and we both went back to our common rooms. Harry had told Ron about the cloak too, and even Ron was amazed by it. He was telling us how rare it was to find a cloak that could turn someone invisible. It made me wonder how our father acquired the cloak, and also what Professor Dumbledore was doing with it.

Midnight finally came, and pulled out the cloak, got under it, and headed to the Gryffindor common room. I crept silently through the corridors, even having to take a detour because I saw Mr. Filch prowling the corridors, until I made it to the seventh floor. I found Harry already waiting for me. "What took you so long?" He hissed to me when I let him under the cloak.

"Sorry, I almost ran into Filch." I explained. We headed to the library and started looking through books, once again hoping to find any information on Nicholas Flamel. We had gotten to the end of an aisle when I spotted a door I had never noticed before.

I tapped Harry and pointed to the door. "Where does that lead?" I asked still pointing.

"I don't know, let's find out." He said walking towards it.

Inside there were desks piled in a corner. Obviously, the room had been a classroom. At the end of the room there was a huge mirror. Harry walked over to it and started at his reflection. I walked next to him and looked into the mirror as well. We were just standing there.

"Do you see them?" Harry asked still looking at the mirror.

"Who?" I asked confused. I could only see myself and my brother.

"Our parents." He answered finally looking away. I gave him a "Are you crazy?" look. He sighed and said, "Stand right here." Moving over so I could stand where he was.

I looked back in the mirror and was startled when I saw Malfoy standing next to me. I had to look next to me just to make sure he wasn't really there. Then I looked back and saw that we were older. We were holding hands and laughing at something. The scene changed and this time it showed two people that looked like me. One had the exact same green eyes, and the other had the black messy hair that Harry had. I realized that I was looking at my parents. Tears formed in my eyes, and I started crying.

After crying for a little bit, I turned to Harry, "Do you know what this mirror shows Harry?"

"No, do you?" he asked.

"I think it shows our greatest desires." I said thinking back to what I saw. I wanted a family, and to be accepted for who I was. I wasn't entirely sure why Malfoy appeared before my parents did, but surely it meant something. Maybe Malfoy was supposed to be an important person in my life.

"I only saw our parents. What did you see?" Harry said.

"I saw our parents too." I was not about to tell Harry that I also saw Malfoy for a second before our parents. I needed to figure out why he appeared to me. Harry took my hand, I could hear him sniffle a bit, and we headed out of the library.

This night was filled with a lot of excitement, and after seeing our parents for the first time we needed to take a break. I dropped Harry off at the Gryffindor tower entrance before heading back to my own common room. My mind was racing with what happened that night and I hardley got any sleep.
