PS - Chapter 12

The Mirror of Erised

"It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts."

This is another of those scenes that have become all the more poignant as I've gotten older. And re-reading with knowledge about Dumbledore from book 7, casts another layer to it: It had always been sad for Harry, whereas now, you realise how heartbreakingly sad it is for both of them! I imagine both them had some difficulty in not looking and 'dwelling on their dreams'.

I'm not very happy with the perspective in this one but I like everything else so I may attempt it again in the future.
