After the night of running into Harry and the others, Terra thought to keep that to herself, seeing she did not want to expose Lulu but not wanting any other student to go near the Three-Headed Dog, for both safety of human and beast. She also found out that after the flying lesson, Harry became the new Gryffindor Seeker, he clearly has the talent for the sport, she noticed that Hermione would be with her whenever the chance happened to meet, which she knew at once that the Gryffindor girl was not speaking to Harry or Ron indagating that she is cross with them.


It is the weekend, a perfect time to catch up on homework or to relax, Terra was one of the few first-years to relax, after going to the forest to see Firenze the Centaur and crossing paths with Hagrid, she was about to head back to her Common Room, when she heard the familiar sound of Pansy and her group talking to one another coming around the corner of the hallway in front of her. To avoid them she quickly opens a random door, quickly closing it the soft click of the handle echoed the hollow room, as she sees a big mirror in the centre of the room, bigger than any mirror she has ever seen, she walks closer to it, wondering why it is the only thing in the room. Only about a couple of feet away she could see herself, but something faded was beside her, walking closer the faded patch slowly starts to form a shape of a person, she turns around thinking there was someone behind her, but no one was there, she walks closer and closer.

She gasped, covering her mouth with both hands, stepping back from the mirror, turning around as if someone was behind her again, but there was still no one, just her and the mirror. Slowly turning back to it, taking a deep breath, and cautiously steps back in front of the mirror, she could not stop herself from letting a small whimper escape, staring in the reflected glass was a woman, tall, with beautiful long wavy dark brown hair, and the perfect shade of Hazel eyes, her eyes.


"Mum?"


The woman smiles at her, Terra could not stop the tears from falling as she sobbed.

"Rolf come on; you have to see this!" Terra exclaimed as she half dragged her brother to follow her.

"Terra slow down," he says as the enter the room.

"Come on look it's Mum," she tells him as the are now standing in front of the Mirror.

"What are you talking about? It's just us," he says looking at their reflection.

"Stand there in the middle," she tells him, moving him in the centre and moves to one side out of the mirror sight. "You see her now?!"

"No, it's me, but much older, and it looks like I'm a Magizoologist like Dad and Grandfather."

"What?!" Terra looked back at the mirror then back at her Brother. "But I saw mum."

"Come on Terra," Rolf stated and slowly moves Terra away from the mirror.

"But-" she stopped herself, there was no point in talking back to her brother, but she now knew where the Mirror is, she can come back again.


After coming across the mirror, she went every weekend to see her mother, not caring if she had homework and if she was avoiding her to some extent acquaintances. The Autumn leaves fall as the rain pour down outside, Terra was once again in the room where the Mirror is, sat on the stone-cold floor resting her chin on her knees as her arms wrapped around her lower legs without a care in the world, Lulu pokes her head out of her front pocket, staring up at her friend, on her third time on seeing it she worked out the writing on the mirror.
