[ Dramadramaduck, you have a lovely view of Harry sitting in front of a large mirror, staring into it and paying no mind to anything else. It's a mirror! High as the ceiling and in a pretty frame. ...though nothing's particularly special about a mirror.

It's that you're not getting only Harry's reflection in that. It should be reflecting Harry's DDD book since the camera is directly facing it but--- nope. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Mirror of Erised.

What is shows is more or less "the deepest most desperate desire of your heart" For example: Harry's seeing his entire family-- maybe a couple of people that left the community and he misses. Everyone else looking is seeing something different. ]

[Severus is surprised to find his book turn on and show the young Gryffindor in front of the Mirror. He knows what it is and why it is there having helped Dumbledore with the protection of the Philosopher's Stone. However, he had managed to not look at it while it was being placed. This time he is not so lucky as he is caught by surprise.

The older wizard sees someone in the mirror that Harry would recognize - Lily. But she is older, laughing, arm and arm with a man who is Severus but, at the same time, isn't Severus. He looks happier - lighter. His face is bright and eyes joyful. He is clearly enamored with the lovely redhead on his arm and just loving life.

Back in reality, Severus quickly wipes away the tears that are threatening to fall. His life, perhaps, had he made different choices - the deepest most desperate desire of his heart. He tries to shut the damn book but it refuses so instead he turns away, trying to ignore it.]

[ He probably wouldn't have noticed if others didn't speak up and alert him that the community started showing this. ]

Professor?

[He glances toward the book, eyes narrowed.]

What?

[fromacupboard]

...Nothing.

How did you find the Mirror?

[fromacupboard]

...Accident. The door was open.

And what, exactly, are you doing out of bed at this late hour?

[fromacupboard]

[ uh-oh... ]

Inspecting mirrors?

[halfbloodalways.livejournal.com]

Wrong answer, Mr. Potter. I suggest that you find your way back to Gryffindor Tower before I find my way to that room.

[fromacupboard]

Yes, sir.
