He looked round to Nancy, sitting next to him, and then to Paris and the rest of the room as if to say "What in Merlin's name do we DO?!" To Jake, it just proved a fact. The teachers were reacting as though it was new as well, so something was up. Maybe Professor Pierce hadn't noticed the rest of them yet... but Jake didn't quite want to leave. He needed to know about this frustrating mirror.

Peering up from where he sat, Jake couldn't help but think, I thought this mirror showed what could make people happy, so why has almost everyone cried? Once again, Jake drew his conclusion. People = weeeeeiiiirrrrd.

Except a few... one of those being Cameron, who actually tried to eat the mirror. Yeah, Jake was still working that boy out...

"Ahem," Jake cleared his throat without quite realising he was doing so. Argh! Next stop: Facepalm City.

At the sound of a throat clearing, Alex snapped out of it. "Oh." she said as she quickly wiped her face and adopted a professor-like demeanor, "Sorry, I didnt notice you there. How did you kids find this?" she asked, getting a little excited, "You know what this is right?"

Abby is curious by nature, so she can't help but turn the handle and see what happens. A door opens and Abby goes inside. She finds the room full of people surrounding a large mirror. Abby walks over and finds Professor Pierce staring at it. "Professor Pierce, are you alright?"

Abby looks at the mirror more closely. It's huge as high as the ceiling with a gold frame and two clawed feet. There is an inscription carved around the top. Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi. I wonder what that means. Erised, there's a mirror by that name. Could this be it? Abby looks directly in the mirror expecting to see Professor Pierce and her reflection. Instead Abby sees herself and your younger brother, Alexander. They are both wearing Barrows uniforms and robes. Alexander looks to be thirteen years old. "Alexander!" This can't be! You're dead. Abby's brother died when he was three years old, and Abby was five. She continues looking in the mirror. Tears slide slowly down her cheeks.

"Yes, I'm fine dear, I was just... little caught up in the moment is all. Are you alright?" she asked kindly.
