erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi

you go there every day.

it doesn't matter that you know what will be in front of you – the multitude of people you want, you need in your life all right behind you, smiling, waving, looking at you with love in their eyes. you know it'll be the same every day.

all you can see is what you want to see.

that's enough for you, isn't it?

enough for you to delude yourself into believing it.

and then you turn back.

no.

all you can see is pitch black darkness.

all you can hear is deadly silence.

and you break into pieces all over again.

when you wake the next day, they can't see the tear stains streaking your perfect face.

they can't see the agony in your smile.

all they see is what they want to see.

but all you can still see is what you want to see.

basically hermione is the last one standing and the mirror of erised still exists within hogwarts.

ten galleons for the person who tells me what the last line is. :)
