Hermione's Mirror of Erised

[Catlady]

No: HPFGUIDX 17760

I came up with three guesses as to what schoolgirl Hermione sees in the
Mirror of Erised:

1) She sees herself, in her twenties and in the wizarding world,
defending her doctoral dissertation in the lecture hall of the guild
house of one of the academic guilds, answering trick questions so
skillfully that the numerous audience members all applaud .... and,
incidentally, she is looking just gorgeous while wearing her hair loose
like a lion's man, very little make-up, and a severely business-like
dark blue robe.

2) She sees herself, in her thirties and in the Muggle world, being
awakened by the telephone call from the Nobel Prize people .... and,
incidentally, despite just having been awakened, her hair is as neat as
if it had just been brushed.

3) She sees herself, at any age and in any world, with free run of a
library that contains every book and all knowledge (like the one Lori
invented for IDF). *I* might start with a nice readable translation of
ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY and URNE BURIALL, and how about the lost plays of
Christopher Marlowe, and an accurate account of how Aurvandil's toe got
into heaven....
