[Crossover] Deceiving desire

Title: Deceiving desire
Fandoms: XXXHOLiC and Harry Potter
Canon: It's a crossover, what do you expect?
Genre: Drama!crack
Summary: Kimihiro finds a strange artifact. And Yuuko's clients are weird.
Notes: SO JOSSED. A pity, it wasn't that bad if it weren't for the fact that now it's impossible

Kimihiro couldn't find Maru. He wouldn't care less, except for the fact he was forced to play hide-and-seek with the twins and Mokona. What a waste of time it was, but there was nothing he could do.

He went to the place Yuuko calls the "treasure cove" and glanced around. There was something unusual in there, and that was saying something. A huge, golden mirror was standing in a corner. He wasn't able to figure out what it was, but there was something disturbing about it, like most of the things Yuuko liked to pile in that room. It had strange words in romaji inscribed in it; he didn't know its meaning or what language they were from. He walked closer to it, while looking for the soulless girl. Then he noticed it; the reflection was different.

There were two dark figures standing besides him.

He screamed in terror and turned around. He was alone in the room.

Ghosts? Spirits? No. They can't be. They can't pass Yuuko's barriers. Then why? Was just his imagination?

He looked again.

They were still there. He rubbed his eyes with his fingers, but they didn't go away. Moreover, they were -or looked like- human beings. A man and a woman.

Kimihiro knew them very well. Shocked, he fell on his knees.

"Otousan? Okaasan?" he said, in a whisper. They looked so real, they even moved like his parents. He pushed his palms in the looking glass, like checking if he could get through it like that girl Alice from the books they made him read at primary school.

He didn't notice when the tears flooded his cheeks.

"Mistress? Watanuki is crying."

"Watanuki is crying."

"Where?"

"In the treasure cove."

"In the treasure cove."

"Oh shit, the Mirror! Watanuki! Watanuki! WATANUKI!"

Yuuko had to dragged him away from the room, and then sat with him and explain him it was just an illusion. That was the problem with those deceiving charms, she thought. She remembered even that guy had a card for that kind of job.

It was disgusting, she thought, while she saw Watanuki sighing, disappointed.

That night, a face covered with a long, white beard appeared in her fireplace.

"So, Dumbledore. Is the pensieve I gave to you working properly?"

"Yes, Miss Ichihara, thank you. Did the payment arrive well?"

"Of course. Wonderful phoenix you own, by the way."

"Thanks! Fawkes is my pride, you know."

"Speaking of your pride, something happened today with the payment. My protege glanced through the Mirror. And guess what he saw."

"You'll tell me."

"The exact same thing yours saw."

"Really? Ahahaha, what a pleasant yet odd coincidence."

"I told you before, there are no coincidences."

"No... I guess there aren't, are they?"
