12 11. Really.... My heart's desire?...

Your POV

It's been some days since that "mirror" incident. I've searched a lot about the words, 'Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi' which was on top of the mirror. It means, 'I show not your face but your hearts desire' the mirror shows the person looking at the mirror's desire. So my desire is being with Harry? But I do not have a crush on him...yet... Is it really my heart desires?.... I enter the great hall to join my Weasley brothers but saw Harry sitting alone by the fire place. Ron looked at me and gestured me to talk to Harry so I walked towards him.

"Do you want to play chess?", I asked him. He looked up at me and nodded.

"Or visit Hagrid?"

"No", I knew he was thinking about the mirror incident, seeing his parents and he might go there again. I sat beside him.

"Harry, I know what you're thinking, but don't. There's something not quite right about that mirror"

"She's right mate, that mirror is strange", Ron said sitting next to Harry.

"I've actually figured out what it said. That mirror shows what we desires the most. Please Ha..."

"Oi Y/N! COME HERE", George cut me off from behind us.

"Don't go back to that room. I know it feels great to see our parents faces again but that mirror doesn't sounds right", I said standing up and I ran off to George. I think Harry won't listen to me.. I think I should write a letter to Dumbledore.. he'll understand. I mentally noted while running.

Harry's POV

Despite Y/n and Ron's saying that the mirror doesn't sounds right, I came back to it just to see my parents again. They're just there smiling at me. Even though I couldn't touch them, I am glad to see them.

"Back again, Harry?", Someone said from behind and I stood up and saw Dumbledore, "I see that you have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised. I trust by now you realize what it does, I believe one of you friend told you".

"So, then it shows us what we want? Whatever we want?", I told him remembering what Y/n said.

"Yes...and no. It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desires of our hearts. Since you've never known your family, you see them standing beside you. Men have wasted away in front of it, even gone mad. That is why tomorrow it will be moved to a new home, and I must ask you not to go looking for it again. It does not do to dwell on dreams, Harry, and forget to live". I smiled at him... How did he know I'd be here?

"Sir, how did you know I'd be here?", I asked him.

"You have friends that worries about you, Harry. She wrote me a letter thought you'd listen to me. Spend time with them".

It was Y/n she wrote Dumbledore a letter. But I am too young to have a crush right? Eventually i hope over time I'll change that. I walked back to Gryffindor tower in my invisibility cloak thinking about Y/n. I've actually liked her ever since she came into Ollivanders' wand shop. I just feel so close to her. Does that mean I like her?

°°°Time skip to Leg-Locker Curse°°°°

Your POV

We are all in the great hall, Ron playing cards, Harry and Hermione studying and me stroking Hedwig who just landed on our table.

"Look at you playing with your cards. Pathetic! We've got final exams coming up soon", Hermione said to Ron.

"I'm ready! Ask me any question", Ron said. So I asked him the question.

"All right, what are the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?", I asked while stroking Hedwig.

" ...I forgot", he answered and I laughed a little.

"And what, may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?", Hermione asked him.

"Copy off you?"

"No, you won't! Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we're to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell"

"That's insulting! It's as if they don't trust us! Dumbledore again!" Then Neville enters the great hall, hopping.

"Leg-Locker Curse?"

"Malfoy", Harry said and they all looked at me.

"What?! Am I supposed to scold my cousin?! Or should I jinx him back?!", They all looked back at Neville who was approaching us.

"You have got to start standing up to people, Neville", Ron said.

"I can barely stand at all!", Neville replied.

"I'll do the counter-curse!", Seamus said standing up.

"No, that's all I need... you to set my bloody kneecaps on fire!", Neville said which made me laugh. I stopped stroking Hedwig.

"I don't appreciate the insinuation, Longbottom. Besides, if anyone cares to notice, my eyebrows have completely grown back!", Then he angrily stormed off.

"I found him!", Harry said handing Ron the chocolate frog card.

" 'Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark" Wizard Grindelwald in 1945–' ", Ron starts reading it whilst I looked over his shoulder.

"Go on,.."

" '-for his discovery of the 12 uses of Dragon Blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel!' ", I continued.

"I knew the name sounded familiar. I read it on the train that day"

"I really should focus on what's going around me rather that zone out!", I said. I really regret dreaming or thinking when an important talk is going on.

"Follow me!", Hermione said leaving the great and we all followed.

"Hey, wait, where are you going? What about the counter-curse?!", I could hear Neville call out for us... Sorry Neville...

2nd POV

You were all in the library when Hermione said she found something. She went looking for a book whilst you, Ron and Harry remains seated. Hermione comes with a big book and thumps it on the table making you and Harry jump.

"I had you looking in the wrong section! How could I be so stupid? I checked this out a few weeks ago for a bit of light reading", Hermione said.

"This is light?", Ron said gesturing at the large book. Hermione just glared at him.

"Of course! Here it is! 'Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone!", She started reading.

"The what?!", Both Ron and Harry said together.

"Honestly, don't you two read? "The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers. It will turn any metal into pure gold and produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal."

"Immortal?"

"It means you'll never die"

"I know what it means!",Ron yelled.

"Shhhh..", you and Harry said.

"The only stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicholas Flamel, the noted alchemist, who last year celebrated his 665th birthday!" That's what Fluffy's guarding on the 3rd floor. That's what's under the trapdoor...the Philosopher's Stone!", Hermione continued.

"Let's talk to Hagrid about it", you said and they all agreed.
