He looked around. He was in the same room he saw in the mirror. The mist around him faded as he looked on. He was wearing white robes and 3 people were looking at him.

"Are you alright? It was a bit confusing when I came here" said the person who looked like Sirius.

"where am I? Why am I here? Are you all real? Are you all real? Am I dead? What kind of mirror was that?"
"Calm down prongslet. One question at a time" said Harry's doppelganger

Harry took a deep breath and said "Am I dead?"

"Hard questions first huh? The mirror you were holding is a thing of myth. But seeing how myths are usually true in the wizarding world I am sure that it is the mirror of death or Speculum Mortis. according to the myth you have become some sort of traveler between the living world and the real world. Something tells me that you can die when you want and hence you are now immortal. And we are real " saying that she got up and embraced her son, who was looking dazed in a hug

" Can I ever be normal?" Harry sighed as he hugged his other back with tears in his eyes
"Nope" James and Sirius shouted as they moved forward to embrace Harry in a suffocating hug.
"I am so sorry Sirius" Harry sobbed in Lily's hair

"Don't be. Prongs told all about you. And I must say I am impressed. You wear your facade better than your clothes"

"I am gonna kill Petunia and Vernon. How dare they treat you like filth" Lily's face turned from sad to furious. Now Harry understood why people said he had Lily's temper.

"don't do anything to them." Harry pleaded looking into her eyes
"Uh not to change the subject but I want some kind of proof for, who you are, not the personality you showed me before I died." Sirius stammered awkwardly
"Padfoot, your eloquent way with words brings back fond kind of evidence do you need? Mother, I ask that you refrain from any physical harm to the Dursleys as people will suspect me. Perhaps haunting them would be a better option. After all, how can perfectly normal and good people be haunted?" Harry said with a smile that would make Slytherins proud

Sirius was staring at him with his jaw on the floor. " alright I can now believe that you hide your true personality. Wow, it certainly would have been interesting to see how they would have reacted to it" Sirius said his eyes wide as saucers.

"Sirius, there are many things about me that I keep hidden. My true thoughts on the wizarding world and my reactions to certain situations are known only to me. My name is the only thing that others know about me.

Regarding the vision I saw, I did have a feeling it was fake. When I asked Kreacher, I was certain that you were in Grimmauld Place. I pretended to believe that you were captured, even though I knew you weren't. I was aware of the prophecy and believed that I should have access to it, despite the headmaster's desire to keep it from me. I didn't want you to come to the Department of Mysteries, but your Gryffindor nature just had to compel you to join. Sometimes, situations like this make me resent Gryffindors even more. I apologize for forgetting about the mirror you gave me."

" Once a Gryffindor always a Gryffindor I guess. you aren't a Gryffindor in nature, are you? As for me dying I am glad about it. I couldn't have met James and Lily again or know who you truly are. At least my 'murder' did something against Fudge" Sirius said still with a dazed look.

"Harry, What are you going to do next year? Are you still going to keep your facade? What are you going to do against Dumbledore?" James worried

"Dad I'm unsure about what to do with the current state of the Wizarding World. There are many cultural practices that have been forgotten and deemed evil. I'm not sure if Dumbledore is misguided or manipulative for his own gain. I don't need to associate with him to win the war. I've been practising various forms of magic at the Potter mansion.

However, tensions are high and If I speak out against these issues, I will be labelled as an evil wizard. Unfortunately, many people in the wizarding world are close-minded and don't think for themselves. They fall into the trap of erasing our culture, especially muggle-raised students. They associate dark magic with evil when it is not true. A simple disarming spell in a cave can cause death. Maybe it's time for me to stop this facade"
