Chapter Forty-Six: This Is Really Touching
Before leaving, Hermione asked Hagrid for the password to the headmaster's office.
For this reason, Hagrid begged them not to talk to Dumbledore about hatching dragon eggs, and Harry agreed.
"Cockroach heap .."
In front of the extremely ugly guardian stone beast, Hermione said out loud the password of the principal's office, and the hidden secret passage slowly opened.
Before coming to the principal's office again, Ivan's heart no longer had the first panic,
Anyway, he can also use the Occlumency Technique now, even if the level is not high, he can barely make do with it, after all, they are four people, and Dumbledore's attention can't be focused on him.
"Isn't Professor Dumbledore here?" The group of four stepped into the headmaster's room, all sorts of items neatly arranged, but there was no one inside, Harry was disappointed.
Ivan was also a little puzzled, according to his speculation, Dumbledore should have just listened to Snape's report, could it be that they went to Chino as soon as they got the news?
After a second of silence for Chino, Ivan noticed something different in the headmaster's room from the last time he came.
There is a huge mirror that reaches up to the ceiling, and the surrounding frame is covered with brilliant gold patterns, and a line of words can be seen at the top, and the bottom is supported by two claw-shaped feet, everything looks so different.
It was placed so conspicuously that it was obviously not only Ivan who found it, but Harry stood in front of the mirror as if he was fascinated, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Harry, what are you looking at?" Ron walked over and patted Harry on the shoulder.
"Don't you see? There are two other people in this mirror besides me, and I think they might be my parents. Harry couldn't help but step forward slowly, and in his eyes, his mother in the mirror stretched out her arm to him, and Harry did the same, but in the end it was only the smooth, cold mirror.
"Is there one? Why didn't I see your parents inside? Ron was curious to see what Harry's parents were like, but he saw a different scene.
"What I saw was that I became the president of the student council, which is awesome!" Ron described his handsome appearance in the mirror wearing the prefect badge, and happily told Harry that maybe this mirror could predict the future, and the one in the mirror must be the future self.
Hermione looked at Harry and Ron in front of the mirror and was very worried, and cautiously did not look directly at the mirror, but warned.
"You'd better stay away from that mirror before learning about this thing, maybe it's some dangerous dark magic item!"
"Not really, right? This is in the headmaster's office..."Ron said with a big grin, but when he turned his head to see Harry staring at the camera, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and his heart was a little weak.
"Mirror of Eris.." Ivan looked in the mirror and sighed softly.
It seems that his previous guess was correct, and Dumbledore, the old slippery head, had no intention of putting the mirror and the Philosopher's Stone where it was to behave until he was sure that Harry could pass the test of the Mirror of Eris.
"The Mirror of Eris? Is that its name? Do you know it? Harry didn't care about remembering his parents in the mirror at this time, and asked anxiously.
"I once saw it in a book." Ivan nodded, but didn't tell Harry that the book was called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
"What's the use of it? Why can I see my parents in it? Harry asked eagerly.
"Is it possible to predict the future or something? I'm sure I'll be a boss in the future, right? Ron looked at Ivan expectantly, too.
Harry didn't believe Ron's claims, after all, his parents were dead, and if this mirror could predict the future, wouldn't they all be resurrected.
"The purpose of the Mirror of Eris is to arouse the deepest desires of the heart, which means that what you want most, you will see." Ivan shook his head and dismissed Ron's speculation and explained.
Harry and Ron were a little disappointed, which meant that what they saw was fake, but they just came up with it in their hearts.
However, the two soon picked themselves up again, and encouraged Ivan and Hermione to go to the Mirror of Eris to see what his wishes were.
Ivan hesitated, but Hermione stepped forward first, and after learning about the use of the Mirror of Eris, she also wanted to see what would appear in the mirror.
"Hermione, what do you see?" Ivan asked.
"Like, it's just an ordinary mirror?" Hermione looked at herself in the mirror in confusion, and it didn't seem to be any different, just like she usually looked in the mirror.
Just as Harry and the others were wondering if the mirror was broken, they heard Hermione say suddenly.
"No, it seems to have changed."
Ivan looked over curiously, only to see Hermione blushing slightly and saying happily.
"In the mirror, my front teeth are a little shorter... It should look better. ”
"What's the most craving thing here?" Harry and Ron were speechless for a moment, but they were more receptive to seeing a few bags of snacks in the mirror.
Hermione didn't think so, she looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied, anyway, this is what she wants now, and she won't change the Philosopher's Stone.
"Actually, I think you're pretty good right now." Ivan smiled dumbly, he didn't expect that what Hermione was most eager for now would be the restoration of her front teeth, which was quite cute when she looked a little longer.
"Really?" Hermione suddenly became happy, and her already reddish face seemed to deepen a little.
Harry and Ron vaguely felt that something was not right in the atmosphere of the scene, as if the two of them were superfluous, and hurriedly urged.
"Ivan, you can go up and have a look."
"yes, we're all curious about what you'll see?"
Ivan nodded, a little interested, and walked over to the place where Harry had stepped out and looked into the mirror.
Ivan had expected to see his future self punching Dumbledore and kicking Lord Mortem, but unfortunately none of them were there.
In the mirror is a small living room, in which there is an ordinary and ordinary family of three, and standing in the middle is a boy in his twenties, who does not look like Ivan now.
The boy's face was ruddy and lively, and he was holding the bright college acceptance letter in his hand, and his parents were happily gathered around the boy and said something, Ivan couldn't hear the voice, but he could see that they should be happy.
This is a picture that Ivan has never seen before, he has always thought that before the crossing, his life was only a white hospital room, the sad faces of his parents and the unpleasant smell of disinfectant water.
"Ivan, what do you see in the mirror?" Harry noticed that Ivan's eyes seemed to be moist, and patted him gently.
Ivan came back to his senses, wiped his eyes, and said to the two in a brisk tone.
"It's so touching to see that after a long period of hard work, I've finally become Minister of Magic after graduation..."
