Chapter 69: Bruce's Persuasion
Bruce pulled Harry to his feet and stared at him, saying, "Harry! As a friend, I understand you, if I were replaced, I might not be as good as you, maybe I would collapse! But the right choice for now is that you can't immerse yourself in the unreal! ā
"You know what? The most precious thing in this world is not 'not obtained' and 'lost', but now! Your parents are gone! ā
Bruce was sad to see Harry's heartbroken expression, but said anyway, "I know you're sad to say that, but that's the truth!" Outside...... What's out there? Voldemort! The murderer of your parents, and my parents. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info will hurt more people even in the future, what should you do? Find him and kill him, but now? You are now immersed in false images! ā
"In the eyes of others, you are the savior, the boy who will not die! But I don't think so, in my eyes you are Harry Potter, my friend, my brother, my relative, that's all! If I could kill Voldemort myself, I'd certainly do it. But I can't, any of us can do it, we need help! Help each other and support each other like brothers, and together stop that damned bastard! ā
Harry suddenly grabbed Bruce with both hands, still not saying anything, but his eyes had changed, and he was as determined as before!
Bruce didn't continue to speak, he laughed because he knew his familiar friend was back!
Harry looked in the mirror again, his parents were still smiling at him, Harry still missed them, but not addicted!
"Yes! Mom and Dad! You're gone for my sake! I think you, even hope that everything is just a hoax, that you are still alive in the world! But I know it's impossible, I shouldn't stop here, what I'm going to do is to avenge you, to take over your responsibility, and to save more people from harm! Not because I'm the boy who never dies, or because I'm the savior people call me, but because I'm the son of James Potter and Lily Potter! ā
And at this time, Harry's parents in the mirror actually smiled and nodded their heads and gave him a thumbs up!
Harry smiled, knowing that his parents were approving of his idea! Harry looked at Bruce and smiled movingly, "Bruce, my brother! Thank you! ā
"Huh!" Bruce laughed, "You're welcome! At least I don't have to worry about you staying in your dorm room and getting moldy! ā
"Haha!" The two laughed!
Suddenly...... A round of applause interrupted the two.
"Smack!"
"Who?"
Bruce immediately drew his wand: "Fluorescent flicker!" ā
The tip of the wand glows with a dazzling white light, like a flashlight illuminating a dark room! Then they found that there was a man sitting at a table by the wall, none other than Albus Dumbledore!
"Professor Dumbledore!" The two said in surprise, and Bruce hurriedly put away his wand.
Dumbledore walked over with a smile and said, "Dear Bruce, you're so good! It seems that my worries are unnecessary! ā
Bruce laughed, "Professor Dumbledore, it looks like you already knew we were here!" ā
Dumbledore laughed slyly and said, "Not only do I know you've been here, but I also know that you've entered the forbidden book section in violation of the law!" ā
Hearing this, Harry felt his internal organs freeze to ice, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Professor! It's for my sake......"
"No, no!" Dumbledore interrupted Harry, saying, "I didn't mean to punish you! I know the reason why you entered the forbidden book zone, and I will forgive you once because you have a good heart! But if there is a next time, I will enforce the school rules! ā
The two hurriedly said, "Thank you! We won't, Professor Dumbledore! ā
Dumbledore smiled and nodded, then walked over to the mirror and said, "Harry, you should be glad you had a friend like Bruce who helped you get out of the Mirror of Eris!" Isn't it tempting? ā
Harry nodded and said, "Yes, Professor!" No doubt it completely appealed to me, but not anymore! ā
Dumbledore looked up at the tall, ornate mirror and said, "As Bruce said, the Mirror of Eris allows us to see only our deepest and strongest desires. It may make people happy for a while, but the 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. ā
"Thirst is a double-edged sword, it can make you hardworking, but it can also drive people crazy!" ā
"That's great! Bruce, your maturity simply amazes me! Dumbledore laughed.
Bruce kept "playing the drums" in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface, he said: "Growing up in an orphanage, I think this experience is enough to make anyone mature!" ā
"Yes! Yes, there are a lot of great little ones in your class, just like you and Harry! Dumbledore said, "Tomorrow the mirror will be moved to a new place, and if you happen to see it one day, be prepared." It is useless to indulge in illusory dreams and forget about real life, so remember it. ā
Harry nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Professor!" But I have one more question for you? ā
Dumbledore nodded and said, "Of course! ā
"Isn't everyone able to see the desire in the mirror...... I mean, is there anyone who isn't attracted to this mirror? Harry asked.
Dumbledore said, "The happiest man in the world can use the Mirror of Eris as if it were an ordinary mirror, that is, what he sees in the mirror is what he looks like." ā
Bruce said, "But how can there be such a person in the world? Everyone has desires and desires in their hearts. ā
Dumbledore nodded and said, "That's right! But like you said, it's a double-edged sword, isn't it? ā
Bruce laughed, "Can I ask you a question?" ā
"Huh! You've got a lot of questions, all right! There is only one! Dumbledore laughed.
Bruce said, "Professor, what do you see in the mirror?" ā
Dumbledore glanced in the mirror and winked at the two of them, and smiled, "I saw myself holding a pair of thick woollen socks. There were never enough socks to wear, Christmas came and went, and I didn't receive a pair of socks. People insisted on sending me books. I think I've heard that you gave Professor McGonagall a great gift, and honestly, I'm envious! ā
"Huh!" They both laughed, and Harry said, "I'm sorry, but it's a pity that Christmas is over!" We'll be sure to give you a pair of socks next year, if you still need them then! ā
Dumbledore laughed, "Oh! That's exciting! Well, it's too late! Why don't you put on that wonderful cloak of invisibility and go back to sleep?"
