3rd P.O.V

Harry and Y/N walk down a long staircase to an empty room with pillars around it. The Mirror of Erised is in the middle of the room, and a man is standing before it. It is Quirrell. Harry yelps and grabs his scar while Y/N grabs his head

"You?" Harry says shocked by who stands in front of him. Quirrell turns around. "No. It can't be...Snape. He was the one"

"Yes. He does seem the type, doesn't he? Next to me, who would suspect, 'p-p-poor s-stuttering ProfessorQuirrell?" Quirrell says in a mocking voice

"B-but, that day, during the Quidditch Match, Snape tried to kill me." Y/N says

"No, dear boy. I tried to kill you! And trust me, if Snape's cloak hadn't caught fire and broken my eye contact, I would have succeeded. Even with Snape muttering his little counter-curse." Quirrell says shacking with anger

"Snape was trying to...save me?" Y/N asks shocked

"I knew you were a danger right from the off. Especially after Halloween." Quirrell says as he walks a bit closer to us

"Th-then you let the troll in." Harry stutters

"Very good Potter, yes. Snape, unfortunately, wasn't fooled. While everyone else was running to the dungeon, he went to the 3rd floor to head me off. He, of course, never trusted me again. He rarely left me alone." Quirrell turns back to the mirror and Harry's scar hurts. "But he doesn't understand. I'm never alone. Never. Now...what does this mirror do? I see what I desire. I see myself holding the stone. But how do I get

"Use the boys." A raspy voice behind Quirrell says

"Come here, Potter, Wyllt, now!" Quirrell commands

Harry and Y/N walk forward, shakily.

"Tell me. What do you see?"

Harry looks in the mirror. He sees himself. His mirror self brings his hand into his pocket and takes out a red stone! The mirror self winks and puts the stone back. Very subtly, Harry reaches to his pocket. There is a lump. Meanwhile Y/N sees his mirror self put the cup behind him and shakes his head in a manner to say that now's not the time. They both slightly gasp

"What is it?! What do you see?!" Quirrell asks

"We we're shaking hands with Dumbledore. I've won the house cup." Harry says covering the both of them

"He lies." The raspy voice says again

"Tell the truth! What do you see?!" Quirrell asks getting angrier

"Let me speak to him." The voice says

"Master, you are not strong enough." Quirrell says worrying

"I have strength enough for this." The voice says as Quirrell nods and unwraps his turban and on the side opposite his face, another face is planted. It is Voldemort who appears kind of like a snake. He stretches out and faces Harry via the mirror. "Harry Potter, Y/N Wyllt. We meet again.

"Voldemort." Harry and Y/N say simultaneously

"Yes. You see what I have become? See what I must do to survive? Live off another. A mere parasite. Unicorn blood can sustain me, but it cannot give me a body of my own. But there is something that can. Something, that conveniently enough, lies in your pocket!"

Harry and Y/N but get stopped when the entrance get lit on fire

"Don't be a fool! Why suffer a horrific death when you can join me and live?!" Voldemort says

"Never!" Y/N yells

"Haha. Bravery. I expect nothing less from the great wizard himself." Voldemort says
