As promised, I returned to the mirror room the next night, where I again saw my families.
I talked to them about everything from my first magic prank to my first Quidditch match.
I knew they couldn't answer me, and that it was just a picture of what I most wanted in my heart, but even so I was still happy to see them again in a place other than my memories.
As I was calmer that night, I also paid more attention to details in the mirror's reflection. I found it strange that my face was blurry, and so was the landscape in the reflection, but as I had no idea why, I simply decided to let it go.
At least for a while...

-Hogwarts Express-
"So Anthony, is your family going to attend the Ministry's Yule Ball this year?" Terry asked, settling into his seat with a honey licorice in his mouth.
"Urg... Did you have to remind me of this ball?" Anthony grunted in disgust, "And yes, my family is unfortunately going to attend this boring ball."
"Well, at least now I know there's going to be someone there I know" Terry shrugged, also unwilling to go to the Christmas ball.
"At these moments I realize that being a muggleborn isn't all that bad," I commented amusedly.
""Shut up, Ethan"" they both said, which only earned them a satisfied look from me.
We were on the train heading back to the house for Christmas break, and I was really excited to see my family again, especially after the events with Mirror of Erised.
"But changing the subject, I just want you guys to know that I'm accepting a Honeydukes premium box of sweet as a Christmas present, okay?" I said, stretching my leg and resting it on the front seat.
"Hah, As if I would have the money to give you these expensive sweets... And it's no use looking at me like that, it's not just because I'm from a pure blood family that I have tons of money" Terry said after see me looking at him with disdain.
"Maybe Ethan would be happy if we gave him the book on potions Professor Snape wrote," Anthony said mockingly, earning a chuckle from Terry.
"Would you really give me this book?! I tried to find it in the library and Flourish and Blotts but I didn't find anything!" I exclaimed excitedly, getting two blank stares.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
""Nerd!""
'And shouldn't all Ravenclaws be nerds? Where is the Ravenclaw characteristic in you?' I thought, wondering if Sorting Hat was wrong in their choice of house.

-Kings Cross Train Station-
"Ah~... It's so good to breathe this fresh air from our dear England" Anthony said as we got off the train.
"Funny to hear that from someone who only sleeps" Terry said dryly, earning an annoyed look from Anthony
"At least I didn't set my notebook on fire trying to do the cleaning spell" Anthony scoffed.
"Oh yeah? And at least I don't—"
*Bam!*
"Ow!"
"Hey!"
"Be good or I'll tell your parents about that time you tried to get into the girls' dorm," I told them, lowering both my hands.
"You would not do that!?" Anthony said, looking at me in panic.
"If you tell my parents anything I…I…I'll tell yours about the time you dyed everyone's Ravenclaw hair neon pink!" Terry said, rubbing the back of his aching neck.
"Meh, go ahead. They'll probably find it really fun, and they'll ask me to take pictures next time," I said with a shrug.
"As if... Wait, is that why you have a camera in your suitcase?!" Terry exclaimed.
"Maybe…" I commented, whistling innocently.
"So This means that—"
"Oh! Look at my parents over there," I said, ignoring Terry and not giving him time to continue with his sentence.
I then, with my suitcase shrunken in my pocket, started walking towards my parents, with Anthony and a frowning Terry following me, as Terry still hasn't found his parents and Anthony's parents were close to mine.
"Ethan!" yelled Cele, who was in my mom's arms and was the first in my family to see me. Her call drew my parents' attention to me, who smiled when they saw me.
"Hey big boy" my dad said, walking over to me and ruffling my hair.
"Hi old man" I greeted him cheekily, and he made a pained face at being called an old man.
My mom smiled at our interaction as she placed Cele on the ground, who immediately rushed over to hug my legs.
"Hi big brother" Cele said, smiling cutely at me.
"Hi little sister" I hugged her back.
"I missed you," my mom said as she pulled me into a hug I returned.
"Me too," I said, and then I looked at them curiously, "And not that I'm complaining... But how did you get through the platform barrier?"
"Simple, we held Cele to pass, and since she's a witch…" my mom replied, and I thought this was a great idea.
I then introduced Anthony and Terry to my parents, with the two of them asking not so discreetly about my mother's cookies.
While we were talking, Anthony's parents came up to us, and a short time later Terry's parents also arrived.
Meeting their parents was cool, especially when I realized where the boys' personality came from.
Anthony's father is a man with light brown hair and blue eyes, while his mother is a short brown haired woman with chocolate brown eyes. They both looked kind and a little naive, but that's just the look, as I know pure blood heads of households aren't as naive as they seem.
Terry's father has black haired and tall and thin, while his mother was tall and had long blond hair and green eyes. Terry's parents were more aristocratic looking than Anthony's parents, but when they realized that neither of the other two families cared about noble customs, they began to act more normally.
After talking for a while, our families said their goodbyes and each went somewhere, with Terry's family going to one of the floo network fireplaces and Anthony's going to the apparition point.
My family and I passed through the barrier and went back to the muggle world and took a taxi home.

-Night's House-
After I got home and packed my things, my mom called me into the living room so my family could hear me talk about school.
After giving a rundown on the things I learned and the things I did at school, with the pranks included, I talked about my friends and also the castle, which got my parents excited like kids.
Finishing talking about school, I grabbed my bottomless bag and started pulling out several things from her.
"Look at the presents I brought," I said to my family, and especially to Cele, who started to bounce excitedly.
"Yay! Presents!"
"Yes Cele, presents" I smiled at her, "And this one is especially for you" I said, taking the vial of Fairy Dust from my bag and handing it to her.
"Wow!" she said, looking in wonder at the bright, multicolored powder in the bottle.
"How beautiful!" my mom said, looking at the powder.
"I agree," my dad said. He then looked at me, "But then…where's my present?" he asked me with an expectant look, and turning his face to the side, I saw my mother with the same look.
I rolled my eyes at them, but the smile on my face still didn't fade.
I then took from my bag a necklace with a small acromantula tusk for my father, and for my mother I gave a glass box with one of the black flowers from the forbidden forest that was enchanted by Professor Sprout not to wither or age. And I can say that they were both immensely happy with the presents.
After that, I started showing all kinds of cool items I got from the Room of Requirement, along with some items from the twins' contraband. And I obviously haven't forgotten about wizard sweets.
So after showing all this to my parents, my family spent the rest of the day eating the things I brought and listening to me talk about the things I learned about the wizarding world.
And remembering the Mirror of Erised scene, I started to enjoy this little moment with my family, not forgetting my first family.
End.

(End AN: Here's another chapter for my beautiful and charming readers!
I've said it once in some chapter, but I have to say it again... I hate heat.
It's unbearably hot here where I live, and I, who prefer cold climates, am suffering. But the good part is that I know that after summer comes autumn, the best time of the year.
And you? What climate and season do you prefer?
Hope you enjoyed this chapter!)
