Chapter 35: Night Talk
"So, it's not just you who came this time, but you also came with Miss Granger and Mr. Swift, didn't you?" a clear, loud voice sounded from behind, and Sivin almost laughed as he saw little Harry and little Hermione's bodies shaking as if they had been electrocuted.

"Sir, I'm ......" After a moment Harry calmed his little heart from his horror and looked at Dumbledore, who was eating melons with white hair and a wise gaze under half-moon glasses.
"The supper that Minerva brought just now is said to have been imported from Turpan, a big country in the East. Usually eating a sweet tooth can help you sleep, oh, if you have a bad stomach, forget it, it's easy to reflux acid. "Dumbledore did carry a plate of honeydew melons.
"Thank you, Professor. Xiwen tasted the melon cut brought by Dumbledore very calmly, and the taste was excellent. "Hermione, you taste. He took another piece and handed it to little Hermione, who had seen the big man at Christmas. She took the melon from Sivin and said sweetly to Dumbledore, "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore. "You're welcome, Miss Granger. β
Looking at Harry, who was still a little stupid, Hermione smiled evilly on the corner of her mouth, little Harry is still too young and too simple, I have been through a hundred battles, I have seen a lot, the generalissimo of the Soviet Union who stopped crying at night, the head of Germany, the bloody queen of Britain, I don't know where it is higher than Dumbledore, I talk and laugh with them. So, Harry still has to keep trying to improve his knowledge.
Ahem-
Looking at Guaharry, Dumbledore's eyes showed a slight sigh, and he took the initiative to say, "I think you've already felt its magic, Harry." β
"Yes, yes, Professorβ" Harry turned his head again, then looked back reluctantly, "I see my family. β
"Your friend Ron sees himself as the president of the student council. Dumbledore said with a look of encouragement, "What do you think the Mirror of Eris has shown us?"
Harry pondered slowly, "The mirror allows us to see what we want?"
"Yes and no. Dumbledore said softly, "It makes us see only the deepest and strongest desires of our hearts." You've never seen your family, so you see them standing around you. Ron Weasley had been dwarfed by his older brothers, so he saw himself standing alone, the best of them all. β
Dumbledore seemed to persuade and said, "This mirror can neither teach us knowledge nor tell us the truth. People spend their time in front of it, obsessed with what they see, and even driven mad because they don't know if everything in the mirror is real and if it's possible. The happiest person in the world can use the Mirror of Eris as an ordinary mirror, that is, what he sees in the mirror is his own appearance. β
Harry and Hermione seemed to remember what Siwen had said, and looked at him, could Sivin really see himself in the mirror?
"Professor, how did this mirror come to be?" Hermione's curiosity resurfaced, and she asked cautiously, "how does it know what people are thinking?" β
"Ah, Miss Granger's quest for knowledge is admirable, but the making of this mirror is so old that future generations only know that it exists. β
"The Mirror of Eris, how to put it, its original purpose was just an ordinary mirror. Siwen looked at Hermione and looked at him again, obviously he couldn't reveal it today if he didn't get to the bottom of it, he slowly walked in front of the mirror, and flicked away the dust on it with a flick of his hand.
"It's just that the magic of its makers and the materials used are very ancient and precious, so when it is finished, it becomes a powerful magical prop for ordinary people. So it can also carry some of the higher levels of energy. β
"This mirror, full of happiness, is not derogatory or ironic, it is real happiness, confirming and recording the happy time of the original owner of the mirror, this happiness is refracted on ordinary people, it will become a beautiful dream, although in the end it may make ordinary people indulge in waste, to destruction, but at least, it is destroyed in empty happiness, isn't it. β
I see--Dumbledore's eyes flashed brightly, and he finally understood the magic mirror that his old friend Nicolame had given him, the magic of the legendary magic mirror that had been kept by Nicolame for hundreds of years, and the happiness that remained on the mirror, ordinary people, even wizards like him, could not bear it, and would manifest everything that their hearts longed for the most, and would satisfy everything.
Dumbledore poked the glasses on the bridge of his nose lightly, "So, if there is no taboo, who was the original owner of this mirror?"
"In the history of Britain, there is hope, the most perfect, the most perfect man. Xiwen's hand touching the edge of the mirror seemed to suddenly burst into muscles, and then quietly subsided. With their backs to Hermione, Xiwen looked intently at the mirror, looking at himself inside, looking at her who was dressed in white next to her, the corners of her mouth turned slightly, and the smoke disappeared, and only Xiwen herself was left in the mirror.
It's that one...... Dumbledore couldn't help but straighten up, a respectful look.
"Well, it's so late, I think if you don't go to bed again, the last days of the holiday tomorrow will be delayed. "It's clear that Dumbledore is starting to chase people away.
"Tomorrow the mirror will be moving to a new place, Harry, and I ask you not to look for it again. If you happen to see it one day, you have to be prepared. It is useless to indulge in illusory dreams and forget about real life, so remember it. Well, why don't you put on that wonderful cloak of invisibility and go back to sleep, and Miss Granger and Mr. Swift must have used some kind of magical potion. β
Under Dumbledore's intriguing gaze, Sivin didn't use the invisibility potion again, but gently tapped Hermione on her head with her wand, and Hermione felt like a wet egg hitting her head, and then the chilling sensation came, and soon her body became transparent again.
As they reached the door, they heard voices behind them, and little Harry was asking Dumbledore, "Professor, what do you see in the Magic Mirror?"
"I? I saw myself holding a pair of thick woolen socks, which were always not enough, and Christmas came and went, and I didn't receive a pair of socks, and people insisted on sending me books. β
