Unfogging the Future

The Mirror of Erised

ActualWeeb: Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter. I'm so happy with myself because I finished it earlier than usual! Hopefully updates will continue to be as fast, or faster.

Anyways, we're almost to a hundred reviews, yay! I'll make y'all an offer: whoever has the hundredth review can tell me a phrase or sentence, and I will include it in the next chapter. For example, let's say you wanted the sentence "what a load of baloney" in there, I'd write something like: "Purebloods are best," Draco sniffed.

"What a load of baloney!" Ron exclaimed.

...or something like that. It can only be one sentence, though. Anyways, here's the chapter! I don't own Harry Potter.

Chapter Twelve, The Mirror of Erised.

Bella and Ron looked at each other, both thinking, Oh no.

"What is it?" Bill asked, noticing their uncomfortable expressions.

"It's nothing bad," Bella answered. "Just a little embarrassing is all."

...bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.

"Oh...my God," Bella whispered.

"What?" George asked.

"Nothing. Just, um, by the end of this book, remember that you bewitched snowballs to hit the back of Quirrell's turban."

"What's so special about that?" Fred blinked. "I mean, it was an awesome prank, but it's not too significant when compared to things like You-Know-Who."

"You'll see," Hermione told them.

...because they're not wanted at home."

Bella flipped off Malfoy when she thought no adults were looking. Dumbledore, however, saw, but didn't say anything.

...taunting Bella about having no proper family.

"That's not nice at all!'' Astoria huffed, glaring at Draco. She had thought before that Draco was a charming boy, but now she saw how he really behaved.

...going to Romania to visit Charlie.

"I remember that Christmas," Charlie smiled. "Did you all have a nice Christmas at Hogwarts?" he asked his brothers, who nodded.

...dived at Malfoy just as Snape came up the stairs.

"Mr. Malfoy, if I had been there, you would have lost points for clearly provoking another student. Mr. Weasley would loose points, as well, but don't think that you can get away with that later on in life," Minerva frowned at Draco.

...these days, I'll get him -"

"I wish they'd both at least try not to be jerks for once in their lives," Bella sighed. "Malfoy and Snape, I mean."

"Come on, cheer up,...

...Great Hall, looks a treat."

"The Great Hall always looks really pretty on Christmas," Ginny mused.

...hundreds of candles.

"Whoa," Tom marveled at the idea of the Great Hall. "That sounds so awesome!"

...hurried off to the library.

"If only you'd put as much effort into Potions as you did with sticking your noses into places it didn't belong," Snape glared at the trio.
