The Mirror of Erised

Harry's POV

Ron, Liliana, and I are the only Gryffindors staying for Christmas. There's a few Ravenclaws staying too, but none of them are Liliana's friends, so Professor Dumbledore allowed Liliana to stay in me and Ron's dormitory.

Liliana was sleeping in Seamus' bed. I wonder if there's anything going on between those two...

"Harry wake up! Come on, Harry! Wake up! It's Christmas, Harry! Don't wake Liliana up yet!"

Like he wouldn't already wake Liliana up.

"Happy Christmas, Ron! What are you wearing?" I heard Liliana ask. Heh. She's already up.

"Oh, my mum made it. Looks like you and Harry got one too. Each."

"I've got presents?" I asked from upstairs.

"Yeah!" Ron exclaimed in a surprised voice. "There they are."

I walked around the armchairs and crouched beside the Christmas tree. Liliana and Ron were sitting on a couch. The same couch, only Liliana was on the seat while Ron was on an arm. Hmm...

Anyway, I opened the first package I saw that had my name on it.

"'Your father left this in my possession before he died. It is time it was returned to you. Use it well.'" I read and opened it.

"What is it?" Ron asks as Liliana reaches for a jelly bean in Ron's hand.

"Some kind of cloak," I answered.

"Well let's see then! Put it on!" Ron urged. I did so. "Woah!"

"My body is gone!" I exclaimed. "How-"

"I know what that is!" Liliana interrupts. "That's an Invisibility Cloak!"

"I'm invisible?" I ask in disbelief. Ron nodded.

"They're really rare. I wonder who gave it to you."

"There was no name. It just said, 'Use it well.'"

Liliana's POV

"Liliana! You've really gotta see this! Ron! You've gotta see this! Hey! Come on, get out of bed!"

I slowly lifted my head from my...well Seamus' pillow.

"Why?" Ron muttered groggily.

"There's something you've got to see! Now, come on! Come on!"

I felt someone lift me up and carry me somewhere far. Then I was carefully placed back on my feet.

"Come! Come look, Ron! It's our parents, Liliana!" Harry whisper-yelled.

Ron looked confused. "I only see us."

"Look in properly. Go on, stand there. There. You see them don't you? That's-"

"That's me! Only, I'm Head Boy. And I'm holding the Quidditch Cup. And bloody hell! I'm Quidditch captain too! I look good! Harry, do you think this mirror shows the future?"

Ron's POV

Harry frowned. "How can it? Both my parents are dead."

I looked at Liliana, and I noticed something in her eyes. They were still the same emerald green, but they somehow gave me a cold, chilly feeling, very unlike before.

Unknown's POV

I see that my plan is working perfectly. My Liliana's appearance is slowly changing to its natural form. In this rate, it should be finished by the starting of her third year.
