16 mirror of Erised

It was the day after Christmas and I was sat in the common room of the griffyndor dormitory. Just like the day before I was sitting infront of the fire place.

Just as I was about to call it a night both Ron and Harry came down from the boys sleeping area. In Harry's hand was the invisibility cloak.

Harry catching my eyes quickly began to explain himself in a hush tone. "I found my parents Mira, I saw them in this mirror. Come on I'll show you." The excitement in Harry's voice was evident.

Letting out a sign I got out of my chair. "alright then, let's go but I'm not squishing myself under that cloak with both of you."

After getting a nod the three of us quickly turned to exit the dorm. Ron and Harry who where under the invisibility cloak left little marks for me to follow. As I made my way through the castle whist removing the marks i arrived infront of an abandoned class room.

Removing the last mark I made my way inside before dispelling my disillusionment charm. Seeing that I was the one who came in both Harry and Ron quickly took of the cloak.

In doing so little Harry quickly ran towards the mirror. " look their here, right in the mirror!" Harry pointed at the mirror.

Ron also went up to it before giving Harry a confused look. " I don't see that. I see myself holding onto the quidditch World Cup! Harry do you think this mirror shows the future." Ron was truely excited about that prospect. However his dream was quickly shot down.

"How can it? My parents are dead Ron" as Harry finished speaking he looked down trodden. Ron placed a comforting hand on his shoulder before giving him a little space.

Taking this opportunity I decided that I should stand infront of the mirror as well.

My reflection showed me as a grown up standing alongside all the remaining black household members. Sirius black, Bellatrix Lestrange,Narcissa Malfoy, Andromeda tonks as well as nyphadoria Tonks. Supprisingly even Draco Malfoy was their.

'So is that what a family. Not just in name but by blood as well' looking over at Harry I couldn't help but sigh a little. I do like Harry but to me he isn't really family, just Sirius's godchild.

I don't know how long I was lost in thought looking at the mirror but Harry soon shook me out of it. Looking at him I couldn't help but think we where a little similar.

" Hey Mira, me and Ron are going back are you coming?" His voice had a smidge of concern.

" I'll go back soon I just want to check something. So go with out me." My words caused my Harry and Ron to nod before turning around placing the cloak over each other and leaving.

Seeing as they where both gone I decided to take a risk. " you can come out now!" My voice wasn't quite a shout but it wasn't at a normal level.

Once my words feel the light around the door shimmered to reveal dumbledore. " Hello dear, how have you been? It's been awhile since our last chat no?" Dumbledore showed himself in his usual attire. However benefit his glasses their was a twinkle in his eye.

Feeling the light nudge on my Occlumency shields I couldn't help but frown. Noticing his atempt fail he put on a light smile. " I see you've been practicing, your Occlumency is very good dear. I'd say you've even step into the realm of master"

Seeing him try to change the subject I decided to ask my own questions. " what do you see in the mirror?" My question caught him a little of guard before he promptly gave an answer.

" I see a new pair of woollen socks and myself seated in a cosy room with a fireplace." Seeing him like this I couldn't help but call him out on it.

"Liar" even though I knew he was lying it wasn't my place to push it.

"What about to you dear? What did you see in the mirror?" Making eye contact with dumbledore I couldn't help but smile slightly.

" I saw my family, we where together. Posing for a portrait. I was lady black, head of the house along with the dark faction." My words caused him to twitch a little. However being apart of the dark faction doesn't necessarily make one evil.

"Dumbledore. Can I make a request?" I continued to look into his eyes. Dumbledore slowly began to walk to me before he lowered himself to my eye level.

" of course dear as long as it's in my power to help you, I shall do so." The old man was very sencere. I could also se what worry, after all he most likely doesn't want a wizard as talented as myself in the dark faction.

Letting out a sigh I gave a look at dumbledore " don't be an idiot gramps, someone has to rule the dark faction no? Why not have someone you can trust? Anyway, I want to see Sirius Black and Bellatrix Lestrange. Can you make that happen for me"

The old man fell into silence for a few seconds before answering. " that will be difficult dear, but not impossible. I will do as you ask but know this they aren't the most sound of mind. I will most likely be able to get your visit sorted after the end of the school year." Giving the old man a smile I made my way over to the door of the room.

Turning back around I faced the headmaster. " goodnight oldman, we should talk again soon" casting the disillusionment charm I left and began to make my way towards the dormity.

Once I arrived I immediately head to bed, tomorrow I was going to try and repair my relationship with Draco and hopeful meet aunt Narcissa.

~~~ next day beakfast~~~

Walking into the great hall I noticed it had its usual empty feel, mostly due to the holidays and most returning home.

Looking around I noticed that the only slytherins that stayed where Daphne greengrass, Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and finally Pansy Parkinson.

Although Harry and Ron were waving me over to them I decided to ignore them and move other to the slytherin table. Seeing my approach a few of them got a little nervous.

Standind infront of Draco and his little gang I placed a hand on my chest before talking. " Yo cousin, I think we got of on the wrong foot so I'm going to join you and hope we can get to know each other better" I could tell my presence made them slightly uncomfortable, the animosity between houses was no joke.

" yes cousin, I'd love to get to know you too" draco responded in a very stiff manor. One which left me a little displeased.

"Oh common I really want to get to know you, I understand I maybe went a little bit to far but people make mistakes. I punched you in the face, you insulted my friend so how about w make it water under the bridge and get along." As I finished my little speech I held my hand out for him to shake.

Draco stared at it for a few seconds no don't contemplating if it was a prank or not. Hanging out the the twins didn't help my reputation at all.

Letting out a frustrated grunt Draco shook my hand before speaking. " well mother wanted me to get along with you anyway, you doing this has made it easier." After we finished our hand shake I sat down next to him before clapping my hands.

" Yay, Maybe over the summer holidays you can invite me other for dinner that way I can meet aunty" seeing Draco nod we began to talk about different things.

Form spell work to quidditch we spent all day getting to know each other. I also spent time getting to know the other slytherins which follow him around.

Once I Returned to the dormity in the evening all the remaining gryffindors looked at me as if I was a traitor. Even Harry looked at me a little funny, Ron however was screaming about not trusting those slimy gits.
