Getting to her feet, she approached a mirror and stared at her reflection. Even though she wasn't a shallow person, she had to admit that she looked really good today. Brushing a strand of hair from her eyes, she tried to get into the right mindset for scrying. It wasn't so easy when Professor Cassie had been transformed into a mean Queen who threatened to put people in the dungeons. Pfft. As if the Headmistress would let that happen.
Continuing to stare into the mirror, Lux knew this wouldn't do. "Can we have tea and cookies? Professor Cassie always lets us have tea and cookies." Maybe it would help her concentrate. "Tea and Cookies?" She laughed a high pitch evil laugh, "You will get tea and cookie if and when you do what I want." Which she was never going to give them anything, they better just be happy with their lives if she felt like being nice.

I don't know anything about these mirrors. he had noticed her glancing at the desk and wondered if there were notes on it dealing with class. He walked up to Professor Cassie's desk and tried to sneak a look at the papers. He thought the best way to do that was distracting her with compliments. Took him a little while to come up with one so he was still listening. She looked over at the boy as he spoke again. "Well if you want to leave this room you better be getting up to figure it out." None of them were leaving until she got what she wanted.
SPOILER!!: Snack Sisters Quote:

FINE.
Now, as far as these mirrors went, AJ already knew that she wasn't going to have any luck. The crystal balls never worked for her so looking at herself in a mirror was surely only going to be a distraction.
Stare, stare, STARE. Her eyes were REALLY brown. This was no use. "What about the snacks? I can't empty my mind without them!" And a nap. Didn't she hear anything that she told her? Trying one more time couldn't hurt. So much for dropping it, Valentine. Quote:

Angel wondered what the Queen would say. "If you want to know how the mirrors work then that would help a great deal, you have to give and take you know." Angel looked at the mirror in front of her and sighed.
"There will be no such thing until you find what I am looking for. So I would do less whining and more obeying your Queen." So no snack at all. NONE!

"I already told you, you aren't Queen, you can't be, that's for the fiery red head down on the 2nd floor. You're just the Divination Professor gone mad." And while she'd have condoned it like she did Airey then Botros, this one asked her to serve. Why couldn't she make her her right hand like Hook did? Or a precious daughter like Trident did?
Lex. Did. Not. Serve.
"And you can keep them here for as long as you like but at the end of the hour I'm leaving with anyone who wants to come because we have Defense Against the Dark Arts next hour and I'm not missing it just to watch you go in circles with foggy mirrors." Hexes, jinxes and curses trumped Professor Smiles in medieval wear any day of the week.
Once again, she looked to the mirror. Just like before she saw nothing....but the Queen need not know that.
"Hang on...I...see something...." She lied. This was going to be good. "I AM you Queen and you better start obeying me." Noticing the other girl finally deciding she should be a good loyal subject and go to a mirror the queen went an got her apple. It was going to be better to just end this one right now. The world would be better off and she would be a better queen for it. Poisoning this one was going to make the queen very happy. "I have no clue who else would be in my castle, but I am your queen and if Snow has made you think other wise you are very wrong and will see a fate just as she will." Had she made her self had she made herself clear. Holding the apple tightly she gritted her teeth. "No one leaves until I say they can leave. NO ONE." She couldn't wait for a huntsman to do her dirty work with this one. No she would enjoy doing this herself. Rolling up her sleeve and moving her hand she stopped. Oooh see the girl did know what was good for her. She was going to a mirror. Wonderful.
SPOILER!!: OMG.. haha Lex and Grayson Quote:

Now if only she was seeing something in it. Eh, details details.
"You better watch out oh mighty Queen, I see you heading for destruction! Yes....yes.....rabid beast....a dark forest....red eyes hunting you from the shadows."
It was alllllll there in her imagination.
Feigning some urgency, she slipped over to Grayson at his mirror and shot him the smallest and least noticeable of looks while her back was turned to the Professor. "I see it in this mirror too!" She said, pointing to his. "You're running...Run faster Professor! Faster they're coming!"
If she could trust anyone to run with a plan, it would be Whitlock. He was her man for this type of thing. Quote:

...................
What was Lex even DOING?!
Grayson glanced over in her direction, a confused expression spread across his face. What was she TALKING about? Could she actually see something in that mirror of hers? Something about the Professor being chased by a BEAST? What?
And then there was that look. A look that was different from the expression on her face before, according to him.
LOL, was she feigning this? WAS SHE? LOOOOOOL! Please say yes. And even if it wasn't, could he go along with this? Yeah?
He was going to anyways.
The Slytherin feigned a look of terror and shock as he looked over at his own mirror. He could see how ridiculous the look on his face was, thanks to his reflection, but he was going to ignore that. Instead, he gasped loudly, his blue eyes wide with terror. "I SEE IT TOO!" he said, dramatically placing a hand over his heart and taking a step back as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, "Oh Queen, my Queen, watch out! They're going to get you! Those eyes....... that BEAST. Oh, what a FRIGHTFUL........... BEAST! Don't let it catch you, my humble Queen! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!"
This was a true test of his bad acting skills. Quote:

Whitlock wasn't a squealer, there was no fear on that front so she was free to continue along.
"Look there! The claws, it swiped at her!!! Oh no! Oh no she's stumbling!" It'd be a funny thing if Grayson actual DID see something but was still going along with her, not that she'd be able to tell. Did she look like a bloody fortune-teller to you? No. She didn't think so.
"C'mere, I see it here too!" She said, grabbing Grayson by the hand and pulling him over to where Zeke with Ian and Norah stood around with their mirrors. Ugh. Younger kids. It was always a little trickier with them. You never knew if they'd understand what you were trying to do or they'd play completely useless and ruin the whole act. For their benefit she gave them some looks hoping they understood before continuing.
"There's more than one of them. I don't think you'll make it out alive, such a pity too after you've just come into your rule and kingdom." She hung her head in dismay for a short moment before pointing to Norah's mirror. "Look there, she's tripped!" And over to Zeke's mirror. "Crawling against the tree won't help, they're rabid and are gonna EAT you. Why won't you run Professor Queen Lady???"

He also wanted to laugh at Lex's suggestions because LOL, they were amusing! MAN. Was she secretly an actress or what? Was that how she paid for all the candy he was sure she had on a daily basis?
Acting. Right. "NOOOOOOOOOO! No no NO! Not the CLAWS! Queeeeeeeen! Get up and run as FAST AS YOU CAN!" he yelled frantically at the mirror which showed him just how ridiculous his facial expression was. For once, he didn't even mind because this was what him and Lex DID. Ancient Runes, you know. Last year. Throwing vases at each other had been a lot more fun and so was this!
And then he was being pulled away.
Er?
Letting himself be pulled, Grayson followed Lex over towards......... some kids? Younger kids? A Gryffindor (Zeke) and a Hufflepuff (Norah). Should he ask? Probably not. It would ruin this whole look they were putting on.
Instead, he looked into the mirror of the young boy and GASPED. "They look like they're SAVAGE! As if they're getting their revenge! Do you think someone set it after you, Queen? Do you have any enemies?" More wide eyed looks and clutching of his heart. "Oh NO! No NO, Queen! They're going to claw at you! You can't use a meaningless twig from the ground to defend yourself! You need something ELSE!"
Merlin, this was hard.
"You need some help, oh mighty Queen! Get up and RUN OTHERWISE THEY'LL TAKE OVER YOUR KINGDOM!"
And then they were joined by the kid he'd met at the treehouse (Ian). He had a strong urge to smirk but had to resist himself. Oh, this was gonna be gooooooood. Uh huh!
She was watching intently holding her apple as she walked around. These mirrors were going to work, she knew these peasants knew how to get them to work. Just then she heard that girl. So she was lying, she did know how to make it work. Watching her eyes grew at her words. Then a boy started. Moving quickly over to them she shoved them out of the way, "What is this. I do not see anything. Revenge.. Snow, it has to be Snow, she is plotting against me. She must die first. You, both of you. You find her in this mirror. I will not be destructed in my own castle by that girl." As for just starting in her kingdom she ignored the girl. She had been ruler of this kingdom since the king died his untimely death.

Ian listened to Grayson's tale and decided he should add to it, and not go completely off in his own direction. He said out loud again. I see the girl look as if she's listening for something. There she goes walking to the window and it seems as if... He paused and leaned in as if to hear better. YES! She's smiling and she said something about her pets getting their treat and her revenge! Maybe that girl set those savage beasts on you. Maybe she is not what you think she is. Now another was seeing this the queen was not going to be going into any forest soon now that her fortune tellers were helping her. Yes, they were her fortune tellers now. She would keep them in the dungeons and make them show her thing for the rest of their lives. It was better then death so they would be happy. Though when the boy spoke again her eyes lit up and a smirk crossed her face. "Snow White, you've found her! Where exactly is she. My huntsman will go out for her." This boy had done her good, he would be rewarded. "Keep an eye on her I want to know her every move and how she is plotting against me." Yes she had the upper hand on Snow White now, she would be able to get her.

Enough of looking at himself, it was time to figure out what he was supposed to see in the mirror.
He cleared his mind and went to his happy place he would call it. He dreamed of himself back in Kansas. He was riding the horses and looking at the fields and just smelling the home cooked goodness of his mothers meals. He smiled and as he opened his eyes, he saw something in the mirror. Was it a red apple? He saw it clear as day. Ermm was this normal? He wasn't even thinking about that. He cleared his throat and asked, "Erm my Queen all I see in my mirror is a red apple? Does that mean anything to you?" Because it sure didn't mean anything to him. A red apple she smirked as she walked behind him trying to see. Seeing nothing she glared and that's when she thought of something. "It will be your life of freedom if I find anyone is lying to me." She would not tolerate that. Not at all, as for the apple. "What is going on with the apple? You need to be more specific, I have many red apples." She could show them what they meant to her if someone was brave enough to take a bite.
