[Late that night, a lantern and hand appear, but nothing else. The ensemble walks through the dark library and into the Restricted Section. The lamp is put down, and the cloak removed, revealing to be Harry who searches the bookshelves.]

"You took my cloak to the library" James screeched "You're not supposed to be out of bed young man" Lily scolded Harry "Sorry mum" Harry replied sheepishly "the library, he took my cloak to the library" James pouted to Sirius who patted him on the back "I see brother such a tragedy" Sirius shook his head the others in the hall rolled their eyes at the duo.

Harry: Famous fire eaters. 15th-Century Fiends. Flamel. Nicholas Flamel. Where are you?

[Harry picks up a book and opens it. A man's face appears from between the pages, which screams madly and loudly. Harry immediately slams the book shut and puts it back.]

A lot of people jumped an reminded themselves to never open that book.

Filch: Who's there?! [Harry whips around and quickly grabs his cloak, causing the lamp to fall and shatter.] I know you're in there. You can't hide. [Harry puts on his cloak and creeps around Filch.] Who is it? Show yourself!

"Ugh I hate him" James and Sirius groaned quite of few people agreed...okay everyone agreed.

[Harry runs from the room, breathing heavily. He exits into the hall, where Mrs. Norris, who meows and begins to follow him. Harry runs around a corner, just as Snape and Quirrell appear. Snape pushes Quirrell into the wall.]

"That's kinky sevvy" Regulus teased Severus put his head in his hands people in the hall snorted or laughed.

Quirrell: Severus... I-I thought...

Snape: You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrell.

Quirrell: I don't know w-what you m-mean.

Snape: You know perfectly well what I mean. [Snape senses something who causes Harry to stop breathing. Snape reaches out to grab something but doesn't. He whips his finger back in front of Quirrell's face.] We'll have another chat soon. When you've had time to decide where your loyalties lie.

"Oh?" Narcissa said "wonder what he means" Pandora asked.

[Filch arrives, carrying the broken lantern.]

Filch: Oh, Professors. I found this in the Restricted Section. It's still hot. That means there's a student out of bed.

[Upon hearing this, Snape and Quirrell dart off]

[A door opens and then it closes. On the other side, there is a vast, empty room that has a large mirror in the center known as the Mirror of Erised. Harry appears and walks over to the mirror. In the reflection, he sees two people appear who are Harry's late parents, James and Lily Potter.]

Harry: Mum? [Lily nods and smiles] Dad? [James nods and smiles. Harry reaches out to touch them but only gets the mirror. Then, his mother puts her hand on his shoulder. He puts his own hand on his own shoulders, as if trying to feel her there.]

"I have a bad feeling about this" Orion groaned "Mia never get in situations like this" Narcissa said in a matter-of-fact tone almost everyone agreed Dumbledore wasn't paying a lick of attention to anything he was too worried about his plan failing not everyone knew who riddle was, but he did.

[Back in the boy's dormitory in Gryffindor tower, Harry comes whipping in, invisible.]

Harry: Ron, you've really got to see this! Ron, you've got to see this! [pulls back covers. Ron wakes up.] Ron, Ron, come on, get out of bed!

Ron: [tired] Why?

Harry: There's something you've got to see. Now, come on!

[Back in the room. Harry and Ron appear as if magically and Harry runs to the mirror.]

Harry: Come on! Come! Come look, it's my parents!

Ron: I only see us.

Harry: [moves over] Look in properly. Go on, stand there. There. You see them, don't you? That's my dad.

Lily sighed at her son James was still annoyed "was that your first time seeing us" Lily asked Harry nodded.

Ron: 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?

Harry: How can it? Both my parents are dead. [Harry smiles sadly.]

"What is that mirror" Evan asked "Just watch uncle Evan you will see" Mia sighed.

(Extended Version)

[One day, in the Great Hall where most of the students, particularly the Weasleys are eating, Harry sits in front of the fireplace.]

George: Do you like yours, Ron? [Ron turns to Harry who still sits in front of the fireplace who is very quiet.] Ron?

Ron: I'll be right back. [He leaves the table and comes up to Harry.] Want to play chess?

Harry: No.

Ron: Wanna go and visit Hagrid?

Harry: No.

Ron: Harry, I know what you're thinking, but don't. There's something not right about that mirror.

"Listen to the carrot top son" James nodded Ron turned to him offended James and Sirius gave him a look as if they were saying 'Try me' Ron just turned back around.

[Harry nods and Ron leaves to go back to the table as Harry continues to stare at the fireplace.]

(Original Version)

[The next night, Harry is back in the room where the mirror is, gazing longingly at the reflection where his parents are in. Dumbledore appears far behind him]

Dumbledore: Back again, Harry? [Harry turns around and stands up.] I see that you, like so many before you have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised. I trust by now you realize what it does. Let me give you a clue. The happiest man on earth would look into the mirror and see only himself, exactly as he is.

Harry: So then, it shows us what we want. Whatever we want.

Dumbledore: [whilst looking at the mirror] Yes. And no. It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest most desperate desires of our hearts. Now you, Harry, who have never known your family, you see them standing beside you. But remember this, Harry. This mirror gives us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away in front of it. Even gone mad. That is why tomorrow it will be moved to a new home. And I must ask you not to go looking for it again. It does not do to dwell on dreams, Harry, and forget to live. [Harry looks back at the mirror, knowing that Dumbledore is right.]

"Why the fuck was it in the school in the first place" Barty Jr yelled "because we was all pawns in the old goat's game" Mia scoffed glaring at the headmaster "what do you mean petite etoile" Regulus asked Mia smiled at her nickname that is what older Regulus called her as well "you will see Reggie" Mia sighed.
