25year old Harry Potter is currently waiting for his kids to go home, today was the start of Christmas break, that means Albus and James would be coming home from Hogwarts.

He wasn't mad of course, the fact Albus went to slytherin, maybe now people can stop their whole " Slytherin is evil theory"

He was adding last minute touches to the christmas tree when suddenly, a silver mist came out of no where . Harry grabbed his wand and raised it at the mist however, before he could say a a spell the mist surrounded him and just like that Harry Potter disappeared.

Harry Potter's pov

I woke up to find myself on the floor, huh? What's going on. I looked down on myself and realised I was wearing a Weasley sweater. What? My body also looked way smaller. I stood up, pulled my wand out and muttered, "speculum praesta" ( grant me a mirror) . I froze. " Shit" I said.

I canceled the charm and walked through the hallways of what I now know as Hogwarts under my father's invisibility cloak. I appear to be walking in circles when I notice a door that hasn't been there before, I smirked. The mirror of Erised.

I entered the room to find a mirror, the on and only Mirror of Erised. I took of my cloak and sat on the floor bringing my knees to my chest, I stared as the mirror transforms from my reflection to my family.

I smiled.

I then heard a soft ruffling noise behind me and I inwardly smiled. Dumbledore.

" So back again, Harry?" I felt a bit wierd hearing his voice again, after all, he's been dead for years, but despite that I turned around and saw Dumbledore in his glory with eyes twinkling as bright as the stars. " I guess I can play along." Harry thought, using his occlumency, he picked out this memory from years ago and acted it out.

"I didn't see you, sir." I fake-stuttered.

" Strange how nearsighted being invisible can make you." smiled Dumbledore. I acted relieved to see him smiling.

" So." Dumbledore continued, slipping off the desk to sit on the floor beside me, " You, like hundreds before you, have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised."

" I didn't know it was called that, sir." I lied.

" I expect you've realized by now, what it does?" Dumbledore asked.

'Time for a little change" I mused.

" Yes." I said," It shows one their deepest desires. The happiest man on earth would look into the mirror and see only himself, exactly as he is. However this Mirror is full of lies, I can imagine people wasting their lives staring at this mirror. It doesn't do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." I stated.

I wanted to laugh at the professor's shocked face but held in.

"Indeed, that is very wise Harry." Dumbledore complimented, shaking out of his stupor.

" Thank you ,sir." I replied with a smile," Well, I better get going now, see you professor." I then said going for the door.

"Wait, Harry, If I may, I'm just curious, what do you see in the mirror?" Professor Dumbledore asked.

At this my face turned into the biggest chesire grin.

"I? I see myself holding a pair of thick woollen socks, one can never have enough socks ,sir" At this, I winked and skipped towards the door, leaving Dumbledore in his shocked state, mouth hanging open, eyes bulging, face screaming " WTF"

I went pass the door only to be greeted by the silver mist surrounding me. I smiled and woke up to find myself beside the christmas tree, the bell rang and in came Albus and James.

I gave them a big bear hug and ruffled their hairs.

That night, I went to sleep with a smile. That was so worth it.
