There was a massive thump and some one hissed out.

"Ow!"

Charlotte's eyes open slightly as she heard the noise, she slowly sat up and squinted her eyes, trying to see who made the noise. She whispered out.

"Ron?"

The person whispered back.

"No, it's Harry."

Charlotte smiled and asked.

"What are you doing?"

She saw his figure walk closer to her bed and he replied once he was by the side of the bed.

"I'm going to the restricted section of the library, I want to find out about Nicholas Flamel. I'm taking my invisibility cloak, do you want to come with me?"

Charlotte smiled again and whispered back a "yeah, sure". She removed the quilt off of her and put on her slippers. She wrapped her dressing gown around her body and placed her wand in the pocket, a hand then gripped hers.

Charlotte intertwined their fingers and they quietly made their way out of the dorm. Once they got to the common room door, Harry slipped the cloak over them and the door opened. Charlotte held in a laugh as Elizabeth was confused as to why she couldn't see anyone exiting.

Harry and Charlotte walked closer to the library and entered as quietly as they could, Harry gripped the lantern so they could see in the dark and Charlotte used her wand to open the door to the restricted section, it opened with a click.

As the door was opening, it was a little squeaky, making them wince and hope that no one had heard it. They entered and looked at the signs at the top looking for the letter 'N'.

They soon found it and Harry placed the lantern on a table as they browsed through the books to try and find the one they needed, eventually, they found the book and took off the cloak so they could see better. But as soon as Harry opened it, he regretted it immediately as a face erupted from the book and started screaming. Harry slammed the book shut and quickly placed it in the bookshelf, they froze as Filch asked.

"Who's there?! I know you're in there, you can't hide, who is it? Show yourself!"

Harry placed the cloak around the two of them and they go to run away, when the lantern falls off the table and smashes. Charlotte let out a quick exclaim.

"Shit!"

Harry shushed her and they went around the corner to avoid Filch, they successfully escaped and made their way around a corridor, but halted when they spotted Snape and Quirrell. Quirrell was speaking.

"Severus.. I-I t-thought-"

Snape cut him off.

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

Quirrell stuttered out a response.

"W-What do y-you m-mean?"

Snape sneered and replied coldly.

"You know exactly what I mean!"

Snape freezes and looks right at the two students, Harry's hand went on Charlotte's mouth and her hand went on his mouth. Snape could hear them breathing until they covered their mouths.

Snape reached out and Harry and Charlotte backed away, Snape's hand clutches nothing and he turns back to Quirrell.

"We'll have another chat soon.. when you've had time to decide where your loyalties lie."

Charlotte's gasp was silenced as they spotted Filch turn the corner with the broken lantern in his hand, he announced.

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

The three of them dart off and Harry and Charlotte let out breaths of relief, they uncover each others mouths and Harry led her into a room. They enter it and it's empty, apart from a mirror in the middle of it.

Harry takes the cloak off and placed it on the floor, he walked up to the mirror, looking at it curiously. He then gasped and muttered out.

"Mum?"

Charlotte's eyes widened and he then places his hand on his shoulder and muttered out again.

"Dad?"

Charlotte thought to herself.

What is this mirror? Why is he seeing his dead parents?

Harry turned to Charlotte and announced.

"Stay here, I'm going to get Ron."

Charlotte nodded her head and as soon as he went, she stood in front of the mirror, her eyes widening as she sees her family appear behind her, all looking happy.

Everyone was happy and not a sad sight was in view, Charlie was carrying a baby dragon, Bill was holding hands with a blonde woman, Percy was looking all smart and proper, Fred and George were laughing as they pranked Percy, Ron was stood next to Charlotte with a plate in his hand, Ginny was twirling her wand between her fingers and Molly and Arthur were being all lovey-dovey, Charlotte smiled, but squinted when she saw more people, she couldn't recognise them though. (A/N: I know the Mirror of Erised doesn't show the future, per se, but this is a fanfiction, honey. Anything can happen by the hands of the author, aka me.)

A couple of minutes later, Harry and Ron arrived, Charlotte stepped aside and watch as Harry drags Ron in front of the mirror. Ron stands there as Harry states.

"Look, it's my parents!"

Ron's eyebrows furrow and he muttered.

"I only see me."

Harry sighs and moves Ron so he's right in the middle.

"Look properly, go on, stand there. You see them, don't you? That's my dad."

Ron gasps and exclaims.

"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 looks down sadly and replies.

"How can it? Both my parents are dead."

Charlotte's heart clenches again and she walks up to Harry and brought him in for a hug, she rubbed his back and he sighed, they got out the hug and Charlotte grabbed the invisibility cloak. She uttered quiely.

"Come on, lets get back to bed."

Ron and Harry nodded and the three of them walked to the dorm, they all said goodnight and slept peacefully.
