| | |  Mirror
 Not far from the balcony, a large gilded mirror can be found on the fourth-floor corridor. Once upon a time, the mirror hid a secret passageway that would take anyone to Hogsmeade undetected at any time. Unfortunately, there was a cave in mid-way that made the passage end up not leading anywhere. Nevertheless, if you're in a pickle and can get the mirror off the wall and back again, you would at least have a neat hiding place.
Most people just try using the mirror to check on their appearance throughout the day. Oddly enough, however, the mirror doesn't show ones reflection. Always being shown in the mirror is a scene of handsome chandeliers, elegant landscape oil paintings, and golden draperies, which is not at all what the wall of the corridor behind you looks like. This is, of course, one of Hogwarts' many mysteries. The location of the room that the mirror is showing is unknown to everyone today. But every now and then, a dark figure can be spotted in the background before disappearing again.

Odaline didn't like how she was feeling now that her head had settled into being away from home and being apart from her parents. She thought of them often when she was addressed in class and even though she was expected to break the rules she had lived by her entire life.. it was hard to. Which explained her confusion and the struggle she was having. Everyone here had friends already. All of the students she had been sorted with had established friendships and Oda had nothing like that.
She had herself and she had her studying. Which, as she expected, she was good at.
Oda had been confused when she came across a mirror that couldn't give her a reflection of herself initially, but now that she felt lost.. it had become something she visited a couple of times a week. Today, she was sat cross-legged and facing it.

Oda had been confused when she came across a mirror that couldn't give her a reflection of herself initially, but now that she felt lost.. it had become something she visited a couple of times a week. Today, she was sat cross-legged and facing it. Gunnar had plenty of homework that he should be doing and he was pretty sure he had a Transfiguration quiz coming up that he should study for, but none of that was anything he really wanted to do. Still, he had gone to the library to get a few books that he needed and could use whenever he didn't have something better to do. And that's what he was doing right now - looking for something better to do.
He told himself that if he didn't find something to do by the time he made it down to his common room, then he'd actually sit down and finish his homework. But he was open for anything remotely interesting since he was clearly procrastinating.
As he walked down the corridor, Gunnar slowed as he neared a younger girl sitting in front of a mirror. Oh yeah, that mirror. He remember being rather curious about it in his first year here, but then he pretty much forgot about it. Stopping behind her, Gunnar peered into the mirror, unsurprised to not see his reflection looking back at him. But he quietly allowed his eyes to take in the contents of the mirror for a moment. "Do you s'pose that's an alternate reality or a room trapped behind glass?" Or maybe there was another explanation for it.

Odaline was content with not having her own reflection to deal with, so sitting here was kind to her soul. She knew that she wasn't alone in the corridor when she heard the footsteps of someone approaching. Oda didn't look to see who it was until the person was behind her and speaking.
With a raised eyebrow, she glanced between the older boy behind her and then back to the mirror.
"Alternate reality." Two words! See, that was progress for her!

"Alternate reality." Two words! See, that was progress for her! Gunnar's eyes drifted from the odd mirror to the young girl on the floor as she spoke. She didn't seem to pay him much mind, but he could hardly be bothered with that. He often preferred that to overtly friendly anyway as so many people he knew were perpetually bouncing off the walls.
But the idea an alternate reality was admittedly cool and he lifted his eyes to the mirror again as he tried to peer closer. "Maybe," he started thoughtfully, trying to see anything that would confirm that he wasn't just looking at a still painting. Was that a shadow?
"What do you think's going on in there?" Maybe she was sitting there long enough to come up with a theory.

Kalen was walking down the hall, heading down from his office to the Slytherin common room, a cup was in his hand, but it was sort of down by his side. The cup was empty and he was hoping to make some tea when he got to the common room. But he didn’t want to put the cup in his pocket..
He noticed he was walking past the mirror and he stopped and looked at it for a moment, He he always been so curious about this mirror, even when he had been a student here at Hogwarts..
He half smiled as he looked at the room and pondered if this was a giant two way mirror..
And if it was, who had the other half.. Hmmmm...

"What do you think's going on in there?" Maybe she was sitting there long enough to come up with a theory. Head tilted, Odaline considered her answer to the question a little more than anyone else probably would. What did she think was going on in there? Well, she thought it was nothing to write home about. But what did she hope it was? A lot of things. Somewhere to hide, where she could try to be someone else. Somewhere to live in a different light and away from the shadows that were her parents.
"The dead are there." She said, looking back at the other boy to gauge his reaction.

"The dead are there." She said, looking back at the other boy to gauge his reaction. Huh. Gunnar let his eyes drift back to the girl again as she told him her theory. Or maybe she was just kidding in a very deadpan sort of way. Gunnar couldn't quite tell.
"Maybe..." he began tentatively with an eyebrow raised. "Have you actually seen any dead people in there?" Or any people at all? Ghosts? A shadow of a person? Gunnar turned his eyes back to the mirror, squinting as he peered inside.

Gunnar turned his eyes back to the mirror, squinting as he peered inside. Odaline didn't look away from the mirror again, instead hoping to catch a dead person in the mirror that she could draw attention to. But she shrugged. "Not yet." Wasn't it weird to see dead people in mirrors? Outside of the school ghosts, that was. But that was still weird to her. Why did she want to be at school with dead people roaming the hallways?
Was that just the eventuality for anyone who came here? Death?
