My Heart's Desire. To the tune of The Sound of Silence by Simon and 
Garfunkel.

I realized I had filked no scene from PS/SS.  I had to remedy that. 

Dedicated to our wonderful Mods, for doing all they do and putting up 
with all with up they put.

My Heart's Desire
Harry:

Hello, Mirror Erised
Once more you've lured me out of bed.  
Through Filch-free hallways I am creeping.
At night whilst I ought be sleeping.
For the vision of my family gathered 'round:
I have found.
It is My Heart's Desire.

In empty room I sit alone.
Variant reflections shown.
Seeing almond eyes bright green.
My mother's, in the mirror I have seen.
And the jet black hair that adorns my father's crown
Won't lay down.
Which is My Heart's Desire.

And in the lumos-light I saw
A dozen like my ma and pa.
People like me who were knobby-kneed.
People whom I eyed with deepest greed.
People who had lived and died so long ago.
I did not know
They were My Heart's Desire.

"Ron!" said I "Come, you must see
Of this mirror's mystery."
But all Ron saw when he looked up
Was him holding a Quiddich Cup.
And a badge like brother Bill once wore-
For Head Boy 
Was his Heart's Desire.

How I wished I could have stayed,
But my plans were soon waylaid.
Dumbledore did soon admonish
With advise that did astonish,
Said, "The mirror, it shows neither knowledge nor truth, 
     but it reads our minds, 
And there it finds, 
Whatever is our Heart's Desire.
