Chapter 147: About the Mirror!
A few days before the Magic Hearing, Harry had nothing to do but went to the Broken Axe Bar to keep an eye on the progress of the construction and make demands, after all, he was most familiar with Muggle hotels.
Harry felt a sense of accomplishment at the speed of the construction of this hotel, which was both Muggle comfort and beauty, and wizarding and wizarding.
Hagrid came over occasionally, and he didn't worry about Harry's child.
It's a bit funny that two people with a big difference in figure sit together.
Talking about the little trouble that the Ministry of Magic has given Harry recently, Harry casually said that Dumbledore has so many things to do as the Minister of Magic.
Hagrid, the big boss, was silent for a moment, and looked at Harry.
Harry was a little speechless and nudged him, "Hagrid, we're chatting, why are you asleep?" ”
Hagrid: "...... I didn't fall asleep. ”
"Your eyes are closed, and you say you haven't slept. ”
"I just have too long eyebrows. ”
Harry: "......"
Hagrid then hesitated for a moment before saying, "There may be things you can know, but you must not let Dumbledore know what I told." ”
Hey, there's gossip.
Hagrid didn't feel at ease to look left and right, so he whispered: "Professor Dumbledore was very ambitious when he was young, his goals were very ambitious, he thought that the Ministry of Magic had many loopholes, and wanted to carry out drastic reforms, he was determined to become the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, to realize all his ideas, at that time he was also keen to pursue powerful dark arts, it was simply ......"
Harry smashed his mouth, what made Dumbledore turn and start his quest for love and justice?
Hagrid paused and continued, "Then, because of an accident, Dumbledore's dear sister died, and the professor blamed himself, believing that he had an inescapable responsibility, and that it was his ambition that caused this tragedy......"
"So, you can see why Professor Dumbledore is reluctant to take up the position of Minister, because if he were a Minister, the pain of the Professor's sister's death for his ambition would haunt him for every day he did it. ”
......
On this day, when Harry woke up from the Muggle Hotel, owls flew in, and after reading the letter, Harry remembered that it was his birthday.
Who would have thought that this child, who had just turned twelve, was just an eleven year old a year ago!
A few letters from ordinary classmates, as well as a few greeting letters from girls from other houses, were carefully worded, and it was strange that Harry could not see what was going on in their minds, after all, a girl who hadn't even heard a name wrote a letter to a boy, and even a birthday gift was made by herself, which was very revealing.
But Harry could only sigh, he really didn't think much of them. The thought of how he was going to treat a few innocent little girls with indifference made Harry feel like a scumbag.
Hermione and Zhang Qiu's letters are really in line with their personalities. Harry could only read the letter and seem to be able to think of the look on their faces as they stood in front of him and said these words.
One was slightly dissatisfied, wrinkled his little nose, and his head was tilted to speak, venting his emotions at Harry's waywardness. One looked calm and spoke in a calm tone.
Even Dumbledore had sent a gift, a small box.
The accompanying letter is simple: "Hope the birthday present you will like." ”
Harry opened the box, and something sprang out of it.
It's a huge mirror.
Harry was no stranger to the mirror.
This is the Mirror of Eris that Dumbledore used to hide the Philosopher's Stone.
Harry didn't expect Dumbledore to actually give him the Magic Mirror.
Not to mention its powerful magical power, its value alone is not a decimal.
It seems that Dumbledore's family background is even richer than expected......
But what to do with this mirror?
While there are certainly quite a few people willing to collect this mirror, Harry is not included.
The mirror was nothing more than a mirror to Harry.
He stood in front of the giant mirror.
The mirror is a faithful reflection of everything.
Well, it seems to be more handsome.
The legend of it that had been circulating in the wizarding world had expired with Harry.
Shrinking it back into the box, Harry had already decided what to do with it.
Isn't there anyone who needs it? a poor man.
......
Hogwarts School.
Principal's Office.
Once the Mirror of Eris was placed here.
Dumbledore had been the headmaster of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for decades.
Over the past few decades, many genius wizards have come to the Headmaster's Office and seen the magical magic mirror.
This mirror reflects their dreams, ideals, ambitions, desires.
Dumbledore would appear as a wise man, pointing out that countless people were addicted to the illusion of this magic mirror.
And lead them to continue to encounter this kind of false thing when they grow up in the future, but they must be firm in their will and so on.
It can be said that many people were really affected by this incident and embarked on the right path in the future without being led into the wrong path.
However, who knows, this wise man is the one who is most addicted to illusions, and he looks at the magic mirror countless times.
When it was difficult, when he was confused, when he was tired, when he was confused, he would look back at the Mirror of Eris, and a woman with a bright smile would always appear and wave at him.
The woman seemed to be reminding him not to go down the wrong path.
Perhaps Dumbledore can become the current wizarding leader, a role model, and this woman's figure is indispensable.
And today, Dumbledore decided to give the Magic Mirror away.
He looked back again, and all he saw was a wall with many photographs, and the figure was gone.
There was both sadness and relief in his eyes, as if his heart had been liberated.
He should have done it a long time ago, and what he said to those who stood in front of the mirror wasn't it to himself?
Now, he's letting himself go. So that you don't have to carry a heavy shackle of the mind.
These details are unknown to Harry for the time being.
When Harry found out about Professor Snape's address, he sent him the Magic Mirror using the magic house. (Magic home delivery is similar to a courier company.) )
As for how he knew Snape's address, it was thanks to Hermione.
Around the time she first enrolled, her Muggle parents didn't know exactly what the school of witchcraft and wizardry was all about.
I thought about being like the Muggle world, and asked my daughter to find out the teacher's address and visit her later.
The addresses had been asked, but Harry guessed they hadn't visited yet.
After all, they all live in a gathering place for wizards, and some place names can't be found on Google Maps.
Snape was an exception, living in a small Muggle town on a street called Spider Lane.
......
Spider Alley
On the corner of the street, a low, cramped, dirty hut.
The dilapidated house was out of place with its surroundings, as if the sunlight would stop before it arrived, making it dark.
If you have a good memory, you will remember what happened in this group of houses a decade or two ago.
A woman who cries all day long, a man who drinks heavily every day and starts beating women when he gets drunk, a child who always looks out the window at children of the same age in shabby clothes.
No one wants to be close to them.
Those of you in your thirties who still live here remember when you were a kid and there was only one little girl who wanted to play with the boy that everyone hated.
Later, however, the little girl also moved.
Later, the men and women in the little house died, leaving only the child.
The child is gone.
I thought he would never appear again, but I didn't expect the little boy to come back when he grew up.
He is mysterious, he has to leave home for a long time every year, and he only comes back during the student holidays.
People on the streets are guessing what he's doing, and the range is usually in the following: homeless people, thieves, liars, people who have committed a crime and run back to hide from the police.
That greasy long hair, I don't know how long it hasn't been tidied up, if you grow a beard again, it's no different from a homeless man.
Though he wore a strange and gorgeous robe, the robe dragged on the floor and did not fit well, and he would always have this as the only outfit he could wear. This doesn't mean that the clothes are not his, and I don't know where he got them. It is not for nothing to suspect that he is a thief.
Eccentric character, gloomy expression.
No wonder the children next door say it's not delicious...... Well, they were all afraid of him. (funny)
Snape didn't care what the people around him looked at him.
Heh, just Muggles.
If he even took this kind of thing to heart, he might as well think about how to make Harry Potter difficult and get Harry Potter out of Hogwarts.
But he also knew that it was almost impossible, how could that bright, great, and always correct Dumbledore let this happen.
He's just looking at a box right now.
How can anyone mail something to themselves?
He was vigilant, stood at a distance, and used magic to turn it on.
A huge mirror popped out of the room, facing Snape.
Snape couldn't take his eyes off it for almost the first time, his attention was all focused on the mirror.
Even the wand that will never leave the hand falls to the ground, and I don't know it,
Snape at this time was the least vigilant of his life.
What did he see in the mirror?
It was a picture from more than 20 years ago, with a blue sky, long white clouds, two children lying on the green lawn, next to a lush willow tree, they chatted happily......
It was the boy's happiest day, as he learned that they were going to the same school.
......
Harry Potter was wondering, what would Snape see in the mirror?
It must be Lily, it must be Lily.
