ANOMALY: The Slytherin Princess

Potion Class

Athanasia walk up early as usual, she tidy herself up and decided to explore a bit of the large castle before going to the great hall, for breakfast.

It's 3:00 am in the morning and the corridor is empty, the students are obviously still asleep.

Athanasia walk to the library, and walk to the corridor and she stop infront of a tall suit of armour, the corridor was a bit narrow here, she look at the door to her left and open it, she can sense a bit of magical signature from there, and ominous feeling, like when she look at the Dark relics of House Pevrell.

The classroom is empty or more like unused, but there are still few desk and chairs piled up there and one huge thing being covered by a large white cloth.

Athanasia walk closely and take the cloth away.

A magnificent mirror revealed itself from her, it's as high as the ceiling, with an ornate gold frame, standing on two clawed feet, there's an inscription carved around the top: Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wobsi.

"I show not your face, but your heart's desire" Athanasia read as she look at the inscription.

She look at her self in the mirror.

She saw her, her current self holding the unicorns heart.

Which happened, weeks ago, and the image return to her, her only, it look just the same as ordinary mirror.

"Hmm, a mirror who targets people who is not content and satisfied for what they are and for those who have strong desire but cannot be fulfilled"

"Such strange object, in a school full of students" Athanasia said to herself as she chuckled.

Athanasia truly doesn't have that much desire, maybe because she knows she can make all the things she wanted come true, after all, what she wants is to just create potions and explore magic in deeper level, she have confidence in herself that she can achieve it, she doesn't need any mirror to show her a force illusion that she can achieve for herself.

"The Mirror of Erised" she muttered, she read this in one of her mother's book, if only she can have this mirror, she can do much more things with this, she can enhance it, and uses it as an additional protection for the Manor.

Athanasia tore her eyes from the mirror and left the room, there's no point in getting depressed for the things you can't have.

When she walk to the corridor, she stumble upon Flich with Mrs. Norris in his arms.

He look at her sternly, when Athanasia smiled.

Her mother told her all about Filch, a squib who hates naughty students, he have like a bit of hatred towards wizard for he has no magic in him, venting his emotion on little wizards, a bitter man he is.

"Good morning Sir Filch, and to you too, Mrs. Norris, can you please show me the Great Hall, i woke up early to eat breakfast, but i was lost on the way, Hogwarts is really like a mazed, how can you not get lost in this Big castle, i truly admire you Mr. Filch" Athanasia greeted Filch politely, and sweet talk him a bit, while looking at him with 'concealed' amazement, which Filch saw.

Filch was taken aback, he wants to reprimand the student for wandering around, But he couldn't find his words.

He just nodded to the girls word and with a smile in his mean face, he beckon Athanasia to follow him.

Athanasia followed closely, like a students who's truly afraid of getting lost.

"Mrs. Norris, is such a lovely cat Mr. Filch, I also wish to have a companion like her" Athanasia said, looking at the smart cat, she could see the close bond between the two, her last cat didn't survive their 'bond' and was burned to pieces by the chemicals in her lab.
