103 Mirror of Erised

After the Troll accident, everything went well...

The Golden trio became really good friends as they should be, and started suspecting Snape to be the one who let the Troll enter the school to get what is hidden in the school, Harry this smart boy, directly realized that what Hagrid took from the bank is what the three-headed dog is guarding.

They suspected him simply by connecting the reason why he had blood on his leg during the Troll's attack night and the way he walked after.

Speaking of this dog.

The creatures in this world are really magical.

For example, the three-headed dog is a very rare magical beast. Huge body, three heads, and great strength! But actually will fall asleep if it hears the sound of music!

Yup... the animals in this world are so magical.. even their weaknesses...

Gray is also planning to get a few magical beasts from this world. Since he has the castle with him, it's not a problem to get some useful or magical creatures along the way.

"Hey Gray, It's the winter holiday, where are you and Perona going?" Ron was sitting beside Gray and asked while eating.

"Nowhere, we will stay here" Gray didn't turn his face and kept focusing on the book in front of him while answering.

Yes... Gray is not planning to leave this school until he gets everything he wants inside it, whether knowledge or skill or whatever.

Ron and Harry are also planning to stay in school this holiday. Harry is not really interested in coming back to the ducks(Dursley) home, If he had the choice, he would never go back there. As for Ron, his family is not at home, so it's not a good choice to go back alone.

Ron and Harry are searching for some information about Nicolas Flamel the creator and the only owner of the Philosopher's Stone.

They learned about his name from Hagrid's mouth. So they are trying to find some useful information.

Hagrid's talent in spiting secrets is really magical...

Hermione went back to her family this holiday, so she didn't help them but reminded them to search in the library before leaving.

For all this, Gray acted as if he knows nothing. When the holiday ends, the little girl Hermione will come back and find Nicolas Flamel's information directly.

Then they will soon find their way to the stone. and like this, he can take it away... Maybe.... as long as that old man Dumbledore didn't put another thing he doesn't know on the stone.

And soon it was Christmas day.

It's probably the coolest in Harry's life, this guy got few gifts for the first time. A sweater from Mrs. Weasley, and Chocolate Frogs from Hermione, and finally a cloak comes with an unsigned note that says the cloak belonged to his father.

Harry was interested in this cloak and tried to put it on.

The moment he did this, Gray who had a very low presence these days implanting his head in the books, raised his head and looked at Harry with a weird flash in his eyes.

Only Harry's face was visible, but everything else from his head actually disappeared!

What made Gray's eyes flash is that he found a very interesting and weird thing at the same time.

Normally for invisible things, Gray will still feel them perfectly normal, after all, he mastered observation Haki! So it's not easy for something to pass without him noticing it.

But that's the problem here, he actually can't feel the existence of Harry's body at all.

Or not, he doesn't feel the cloak!

Come to think about it, this Cloak of Invisibility.... is actually one of the fabled Deathly Hallows!

According to the story everyone knows, this cloak was actually a part of the Death God cloak himself...

Whether the story is true or not, Gray doesn't really care much, what he cares about right now, is that the cloak invisibility looks interesting. He wonders what kind of attributes this cloak has...

Well... This cloak has just become another target to be extracted in the future...

...

At night, Harry sneaked out of the room by using the cloak and went out.

Gray also followed Harry in another invisible mode.

How he did this? Harry is a normal little kid, even though Harry can't be felt from the cloak, but he will leave some traces behind him, for example, his footsteps sound and breathing sound, and when he opens any door or moves something, all this can be felt by his Haki, so it's easy to find him.

Like the original, Harry was found by Filch inside the library and while trying to run he heard the voices of Snape and Quirrell and got worried that he'll get caught. So he entered into a room that was left open.

Gray followed Harry casually and also felt everything around, but he didn't care much and with silent steps, he entered through the door if the room Harry's in.

This was a big dusty room with nothing inside.

Gray walked slowly and saw Harry looking at one magnificent ornate mirror. It has clawed feet and a gold frame inscribed with the phrase " Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi." (What the hell does that mean?)

Gray didn't get closer and watched Harry changing emotions many times, till he hardly stopped himself from staying beside the mirror and left the room.

Seeing him leaving, Gray didn't follow again and walked slowly to the mirror side to take a look.

Mirror of Erised... He knows this magical mirror. This mirror shows you the deepest, most desperate desire inside one's heart. Gray is interested to know what's inside his heart.

Gray walked slowly to the mirror side and was about to take a look, but...

"Hey... What are you doing?" A little pink head suddenly came from the ground beside Gray and almost scared him.

"Why are you here?" Gray looked at Perona who appeared from the ground and asked with black eyes. He didn't notice her...

"I couldn't sleep and wanted to come and talk to you, then found that you weren't in your room, so... I found ya!" Perona answered Gray with a big smile, It's easy for her to find Gray, she already planted many ghosts around the school, finding Gray by the traces left by Harry was easy.

"Well..." Gray didn't know what to say, he's not planning to do anything anyway, he just came here to take a look at the mirror. So he didn't plan to take Perona with him.

Perona looked around and saw there was nothing in the room, and finally placed her eyes on the mirror.

"Wha... wh wh... what... What... th...e hell!!! is this!" As Perona looked at the mirror and stopped for a second, then her eyes opened wide and her heart started beating faster even her words were not clear but loud with her weird and unique voice asking Gray what is happening.

Then she looked around her trying to see what's the mirror is reflecting.

But she found nothing. Then she looked at the mirror again and kept looking inside while her face kept changing expressions many times.

Then she looked at Gray and found that he's only looking at her, and didn't look at the mirror.

"Gray! what am I seeing?! what is this mirror?" Perona looked at Gray and asked with a red face. While she's trying to hide the mirror behind her body.

Seeing Perona's reaction, Gray felt interested and wanted to know what kind of desire she has, so he said; "Why? what did you see?"

But Perona didn't answer and kept peeking at the Mirror behind her. From Gray's words, she calmed down a little, looks like he didn't see what she just saw.

Seeing Perona not wanting to say, Gray smiled and thought of something.

"In fact, this mirror shows nothing but a little part of your future... "Gray looked at Perona and said teasingly.

"WHAT!!!" But his words were a big blow to Perona, which made her almost lose her mind for a second, even her soul body became unstable and flew back to her real body.

Seeing Perona disappearing from the place just like this, Gray stood there looking at the empty space in front of him blankly.

'Really... What did she saw inside?...' Gray thought in his heart.

He's really interested in knowing what she saw at this moment...

After some thoughts, Gray sighed and moved slowly then stood in front of the mirror.

He didn't try to look at the mirror when Perona was here, after all the mirror won't show him what Perona saw, but the desire inside his heart. So he wishes to see it when being alone.

So he raised his head and faced the mirror directly.

"Huh....!
