Zoe's POV
I stared at Harry as he slowly walks to the only thing in this vast space, the mirror. I furrowed my eyebrows as I stare at it, I've seen this mirror before.
"Mom? Dad?" Harry said as he looked at the mirror.
"Harry? What is it?"
"I can see my parents! Look!" As he said this he dragged me in front of the mirror. At first I only saw myself, but suddenly I saw something that amazed me.
It seemed that I was older here. I was reading a book on a sunny day at the park when someone covered my eyes, I stared at the face of the guy but it was blurry.. I was smiling at the guy as he sat beside me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Seeing this made me smile. Does this mirror see the future of whoever looks at it? I admired what I saw, laughing with the guy beside me that seemed to make my heart beat faster. Any girl would desire this sight. A beautiful and happy sight.
"Zoe?"
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Harry calling me.
"W-what?"
"I said, can you see my parents?"
"No... But.. I do see myself in the mirror, laughing with someone in the park.. Having a wonderful time.. " I said as I stare at the sight infront of me, smiling at the process... I touched the mirror and was surprised to see the guy's face becoming clear as he looked directly at me..
"Draco..." I mumbled. It seemed like he heard me and gave a nod, smiling at the same time. My heart skipped a beat as I stare at Draco's older self. He still has his white hair but it wasn't slick back anymore, it was a little messy making him look more attractive.
"Ron needs to know about this." I heard Harry say.
I looked at him then at Draco, who was lovingly smiling at me.
"About what?"
"About the mirror.. I'll wake him"
I looked at Harry then back at the mirror, but I didn't see Draco anymore, I was just staring at my own reflection...
"I.. I think I'll go to bed now.. I'm exhausted.. See you tomorrow?"
"Okay... I should take you to your room, you might get caught this late."
"Oh no, it's okay, I still have my invisibility potion anyway. You go ahead and wake Ron up, I'll get going.."
Harry nodded and the both of us parted ways once we walked out of the spacious room.
As I walk my way to the Slytherin Common Room, my mind was perplexed when I remembered the sight i saw in the mirror... The guy was Draco and it looked like he was my boyfriend and we were having a good time, just spending time with each other. I felt my cheeks burn as I remembered his face and how he stared at me, how he looked at me like I was the best thing that ever happened to him. Plus, my heart was beating fast at the sight of him, even now that I remember his face... Does that mirror predict the future? If so, does that mean that I'll end up with Draco?
I enetered my room and locked it. I opened the lights and stared at my mirror as i felt the potion wear off. My eyes grew wide as i saw how flushed my face was. I held my cheeks and and stared at the mirror.
"Why am I blushing? Who knows what that mirror really is! The mirror might be deceiving anyone who looks at it! Ugh I'm getting flustered!" I said as I flop down my bed. I sighed as I close my eyes.. I think I'm just tired. Might as well sleep.
"I think you've forgotten of my existence."
I jolted up and stared at the book beside me as I had my hand on my chest.
"Merlin's beard! You surprised me!"
"You shouldn't be.. You were holding me the whole time until we got here and you kept blabbering about being flustered."
I sighed and stared at the mirror.
"Enough about me... It says here that you're the diary of death, yet you talk... I don't think a diary is suppose to talk."
"In this world, anything is possible. Yes, Iam the Diary of Death and being the only diary that is owned by death himself, I can manage to talk but only a speaker of death would be able to understand me.. And that was you.. I can also turn into a human if I wish."
"Oh.. Why don't you turn into a human so that I won't look like a lunatic talking to a book."
The book was silent and I stared at it for awhile... Did it ignore me? What th-
"I didn't ignore you." A voice suddenly said behind me. I quickly turned around and held my wand, pointing it at the guy in front of me. He had jet-black hair and gray eyes, I stared at him as he looked quite attractive.
"Who are you?" I asked, my wand ready to petrify him if he ever gets close. He shook his head and went close and I stepped back.
"Stay where you are! If you get any closer I-"
"Calm down! I'm only taking the book." He says and gets the diary on my bed.
"You told me if I could change into my human form so that you wouldn't look like a lunatic talking to a book. I did, and you point your wand at me? You're crazy"
I stared wide-eyed as I lower my wand and stood awkwardly.
"Uhm.. Sorry. So let's just start from the beginning... I'm Zoe, Zoe Jones." I said and stretched my hand for a handshake. He stood up and took my hand, I expected him to shake it, instead, he kissed the back of my hand, making me blush.
"Call me Death." He said as he stared at me. Well this isn't helping.. I removed my hand from his grasp and scratched my hair.
"Makes sense, since you're Death's diary... Can you tell me more about you?"
"Since I am the diary of death himself, I know knowledge beyond life, I know where the souls go and how a soul lives as well. I have alot of knowledge, and among those are dark, and an innocent girl such as yourself wouldn't want to know the darkest magic that exists. But to put it bluntly, I have knowledge of everything since Death wrote every knowledge in the world. Iam a dangerous object and should be treated with caution, but I'll let you talk to me like we're equals, because you understand the language of death, it means that you and I would get along well."
I nodded and sat on my bed and watched as he did the same.
"I have questions dealing with the speaker of death... Would you mind answering them?"
he nodded his head so I asked
"A few days ago, I had detention with my friends and we had detention in the forbidden forest, while walking, my friends and I saw a hooded figure, he was talking about power and when I told him that he'll never get it, he was surprised and told me that I speak the language of death... And then there was this centaur that told my friend to stay away from me because I am a speaker of death. I want to know what the bloody hell that means and why my friends should stay away from me."
Death was quiet as he stared at my desk for awhile... The silence was deafening.. How ironic right? Silence was suppose to be no sound but it was deafening even if it was nothing.. I'm weird.. This explains why people stare at m-
"Can you stop thinking? Your thoughts are nonstop and I can't concentrate."
"Y-you can hear my thoughts?"
"Yes, it's quite annoying really."
"How?"
"whoever touches the diary makes me somewhat connected to that person, so that means I can hear your thoughts, we can also talk in your mind. Since you've touched it and you took it with you, we both have a connection no one can break. Now, to answer your question. A speaker of death is someone who has a connection with the afterlife and can have the ability to talk to the dead, someone who has a half life, or you can talk to death if you wish. It is the rarest of all abilities and only happens once in a millenia. Why your friends should stay away from you is that there are some cases that people who are dear to that person would suffer and mostly die, but it is all just rumor."
I nodded my head in understanding.. Why do I get so many abilities?
"what other abilities?"
"What?"
"You said that you have many abilities, what are they?"
"Oh... I forgot you could read my mind.. Well, I'm a Veela, and I have this charm that makes everyone want to be around me, I'm also a seeker, and now I'm a speaker of death.. What more could I get?"
"That explains why you look beautiful even if you do the simplest things.. You'll have more powers and each one would be unique. I can help you control your powers if you'd like."
"That would be great Death! But... maybe some other day.. It is late and I'm really tired.. Goodnight?"
He nodded and smiled a little. "Goodnight Zoe.. and thank you for freeing me from that ghastly library.."
"You're welcome.."
"Do you mind if I read your books here? It has been awhile since I last read a book."
"Sure... How weird.." I say, staring at him
"I know... a book such as myself reading another book. Stop thinking too much and just sleep."
"Alright mom.. Nighty night" I said with a smirk and I saw him smirk as well. I went in my closet to change into my pajamas and flopped in bed, enveloping myself from the silky-green blankets. I stared at the dark waters of the black lake from my window and slowly closed my eyes and drifted into a dreamless sleep.
