I show not your face but your heart's desire

Assuming alternity continues to incorporate big canon events, we should expect Harry to find the Mirror of Erised in a little under a month.

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

What do you predict Harry Marvolo will see there?

I'm afraid Terry is too beat down to recognize his own desires

Which is exactly why the mirror would be so powerful for him.

Though I may be giving it too much credit. Dumbledore also says "However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible."

Of course, Dumbledore doesn't actually know everything, nor does he always use precisely the correct words. So maybe it can give knowledge, if it's self-awareness type knowledge. And for several of the kids, I think that seeing the difference between what they actually desire and what they've been told they should desire could be pretty interesting.

I love that you apparently have the book open in front of you. <3

Yes! Definitely.
