Chapter 2: The Whereabouts of the Mirror of Eris
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot something important. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info" Sigoness retracted a casual and gentle smile, looked at Vio with amber eyes, and said solemnly, "I heard that you were injured the other day? Dumbledore brought you to Madam Pomfrey. ”
"・・・・・・I'm totally fine now, auntie. "Vio doesn't know what the situation is when Sigoness suddenly asks this, just concerned about her niece?
"Dumbledore didn't tell my brother and sister-in-law, you and the Malfoy boys, or a few of your friends, exactly why they got hurt, but I think - I'm sure you're because of the Mirror of Eris? When you told me that the Mirror of Eris was in school, I had heard inside the Ministry of Magic that there was something hidden inside Hogwarts. Sigoness looked intently at Vio, observing every change in expression on her face.
"—" Auntie remembers asking her about the Mirror of Eris?vio didn't speak.
Seeing that she refused to cooperate, Sigoness sighed and said, "Are you sure you don't answer me?"
She said as she walked to the door, "Well, I think I'm going to write a letter to Snape and tell him that he doesn't have to leave that magic mirror behind・・・・・・"
Yes?
Vio thought she hadn't heard, but she reacted and caught up with Sigoness and hugged her from behind, "Auntie, you asked Snape to get the Mirror of Eris from Dumbledore?
"Eh, Auntie, why did Professor Snape listen to you and ask Dumbledore for the Magic Mirror? Did you tell him I wanted it?" Vio didn't believe the professor would do anything for Aunt Sigoness without selfishness.
Sigoness turned and pulled Vio into a printed armchair covered with a Persian blanket, "It's probably thanks to your potions grades, my brother and sister-in-law once politely offered to hope that he would be able to tutor you alone during the summer vacation - but he resolutely refused. ”
Vio smiled awkwardly. "Yes・・・・・・ Professor Snape is still very wise・・・・・・"
"・・・・・・ then I took the opportunity to offer him some sumac vines if he would do me a favor or, if he would give you tuition, I would give them to him - oh, this is a rare plant - in return. He thought about it for a long time—"
"Finally giving in to you?" Vio replied fluently.
Sigoness raised her white hand to her lips and chuckled, as if remembering Snape's reluctant expression when she was bargaining. After a while, she nodded, and said with some pride, "You can say the same." Anyway, he asked Dumbledore for the Mirror of Eris under the pretext that he needed to use the Mirror to seal some potion materials. ”
Sigoness said it lightly, as if Dumbledore should have believed such an excuse - Vio's eyelids jumped, she always felt that things were not so simple, and when Dumbledore refused Vio in the school hospital at the time, he also asked "The Santriel family will support you to get it from me, right".
Does this mean that he had long expected someone from the Vio family to help her get the Magic Mirror, so he refused without hesitation when he was in the school hospital, just to see more clearly whether the Sontrell family supported Vio's behavior? But what if Vio didn't tell anyone about it? I'm afraid Dumbledore would still make them think from the side: Vio was involved in dangerous activities just to get this magic mirror.
Vio gasped.
It was Dumbledore who led Harry to see the Mirror of Eris, and later created a spell for him - only those who did not want to have the Philosopher's Stone and needed it could take it out of it.
Is that - Dumbledore is now playing a game of chess against her, or between her and the Sontrell family?
"Honey, how did your face change so quickly, did you suddenly feel uncomfortable?" Sigoness raised her hand with concern and pressed it against Vio's forehead, looking at her uncertain face, very puzzled - this was completely different from the effect she expected Vio to learn that the Mirror of Eris was in her hands - she didn't look too happy, why? Could it be that she misunderstood?
"No, no, auntie, thank you. However, I don't see any bulky things that Mickey has moved to the house in the past two days?" said Vio and stood up, intending to look for the Mirror of Eris.
"Of course not. "Didn't you say that the purpose of getting the Magic Mirror was to give it to Lucius as a collectible, and that the Malfoy family would form an alliance with the Santriel family?" It was already there yesterday. ”
- Merlin Mingjian, don't pack things well before sending them - don't let people who have worked hard for a long time take a look at them, is this really good? Vio feels that talking to Sigoness requires a strong heart to back it up, and from the very beginning, she has been constantly putting Vio's mood on a roller coaster with a dignified and lovely appearance, but without talking shockingly.
"・・・・・・ Auntie, then I want to see the Mirror of Eris going to Malfoy's house?"
Sigoness nodded righteously, "Of course, the Magic Mirror now belongs to their family. However, I think you and Draco are classmates, and my brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship with Lucius and Narcissa, so it shouldn't be a problem to visit once in a while. ”
・・・・・・ go to its two families to form an alliance - I regret it now, okay?, you can give me the magic mirror・・・・・・ Vio stared weakly at Aunt Sigoness, who had a natural expression of concern, thinking that she was having a dry eye attack, and told her to rest.
Vio had no choice but to silently indulge a herd of alpacas running wild in his heart.
When Sigoness finally left Vio's room, she was lying on the bed, her eyes staring at the ceiling in a daze, as if she was in contact with the angelic god in the ceiling mural. Sigoness frowned worriedly, resisting the reassuring thoughts, closed the door softly and left.
The decision to leave the Mirror of Eris at Malfoy's house for temporary mail was made by her.
The Mirror of Eris can deceive people, isn't it? If it weren't for it, how could Vio risk getting hurt? My brother and sister-in-law didn't know why, but she knew. The child had come to her once before Christmas, and she had hoped for the mirror, and Sigoness had thought that refusing her would make her give it up - and she regretted it when she heard that she had been injured with several of the children to protect something - and everyone in the Ministry knew that Dumbledore had found a mirror to keep in Hogwarts.
Now Vio knows that the mirror is very close to her, Malfoy Manor, but she can't see the mirror every day and indulge in the illusion in the mirror, so I hope she can wake up.
Sigoness thought, and glanced back at the closed door.
