Mirror of Erised 89. Past


Snape stands in front of the Mirror of Erised. He stares intently at Lily’s reflection. She’s dressed in her green dress robes. They match her eyes perfectly. Lily jokingly told Severus the green was for Slytherin House. She looks so grown up with her hair in curls. Snape touches the mirror. He wants to touch Lily one more time.

“It does no good to dwell in the past, Severus. To wish for things we can’t have,” Dumbledore says.

“You’re a lucky man. You have no regrets. Nothing you would like to change.”

“You’re right.” Dumbledore sees Arianna’s reflection. She smiles.
