Chapter 41: The Mirror of Eris
Harry's nervousness relaxed. He slowly approached the mirror, trying to get a glimpse of himself, but it was empty. He took a few more steps closer and stood in front of the mirror.
He had to cover his mouth with his hand so that he didn't scream. He spun around sharply. His heart was beating wilder than the book screamed earlier—for he saw not only himself in the mirror, but a whole bunch of people standing behind him.
But there was no one in the room. He gasped sharply and slowly turned to look in the mirror. That's right, there was him in the mirror, his face was pale and terrified, and there were at least a dozen people standing behind him in the mirror. Harry turned his head to look behind him - there was still no one.
In the mirror, a woman standing behind him is smiling and waving at him. He reached out and groped behind him. If the woman existed, Harry should have been able to touch her, how close the two of them were in the mirror, but all Harry could touch was air—the woman and the others only existed in the mirror.
She was a very beautiful woman, with crimson hair, and her eyes—her eyes looked exactly like mine," Harry thought. Then he noticed that she was crying, and she was smiling and crying at the same time. The tall, emaciated man with dark hair standing beside her put his arm around her.
The man was glasses-wearing, his hair was disheveled, and the tuft of hair on the back of his head stood on end disobediently, just like Harry's. Harry was now very close to the mirror, and his nose almost touched his own in the mirror.
"Mom?" He whispered, "Daddy?"
They all looked at him and smiled kindly. Harry slowly looked at the faces of the others in the mirror, and saw that they all had the same green eyes, the same noses, and a little old man even had the same bumpy knees as Harry—Harry was looking at his family for the first time in his life.
The Potters smiled and waved at Harry. He stared at them hungrily, his hands pressed against the mirror glass, as if he wished he could pounce in and stay with them. He felt a sharp pang in his heart, half of joy, half of deep sorrow.
The North of the North, who had cast the invisibility spell, poked Dumbledore, "Old Bee, you should have given Harry a picture of his parents earlier, you see a baby crying like a grandson"
"North, to be honest, it was my negligence, but can you change that adjective of yours?"
"Crying like a dog"
"Forget it" Dumbledore rubbed the corners of his eyes, "Let's go, save the time to himself today"
Beibei nodded, "Yes, give it to himself, but it's not safe for you to put it like this, can you find a suitable place?"
Dumbledore nodded, "I found it, there are still some things that are not finished, do you want to get involved?" ”
The North rubbed his chin, he didn't expect Dumbledore to invite him to participate in the hiding of the Philosopher's Stone, he had been thinking about it for a long time.
Don't talk nonsense, I asked Dumbledore directly, "I've wanted the Philosopher's Stone for a long time, you are a meat bun... Damn, I almost wrapped myself in, didn't you send it to Benbei's hands? “
Dumbledore didn't answer directly, and asked the North with a smile, "Do you want to get involved?"
"Okay, we're not such unhappy people in the north, but to be honest, if I make something, I'm afraid that even Voldemort won't be able to get in then."
"Put a little water"
"Ben North is not that kind of person"
"Really?"
"Maybe"
The North left Dumbledore, leaving Harry alone in a daze to let himself meet his parents.
Dumbledore is also an old man, and he has already prevented Harry from becoming addicted, so when Harry no longer knows the time to look at the sunglasses, he made a sound to make him come back to his senses.
"I'll be back," Harry said, hurrying out of the room.
The next day, Harry told Ron and Yao Shunyu what had happened to him, and Yao Shunyu was a little surprised, at first Harry had been rejecting a few of them traversers, why did he suddenly accept it?
The next day, because Ron and Yao Shunyu were also covered in invisibility cloaks, they walked much slower. They wanted to find the route that Harry had taken out of the library, and wandered aimlessly in the dimly lit aisles for nearly an hour, Yao Shunyu knew where it was, but it could only be the guiding route of the party spirit.
It was winter, and the castle was cold, and the three of them knew how to tremble, until Ron was about to give up, and Harry stopped in front of the familiar door.
"It's here—it's here—yes!" They pushed the door open. Harry took the cloak off his shoulders and flew in front of the mirror. They're still there. When his mother and father saw him, they were overjoyed.
"See?" Harry asked in a whisper. "I can't see anything." "Look! Look...... They're all ...... There's a whole bunch of people......" "I can only see you." "Take a good look, come here, stand in my place." Harry stepped aside, but as soon as Ron stood in front of the mirror, Harry couldn't see his family anymore, only Ron standing there in his ribbed tweed pajamas.
"Look at me!" Ron said. "Can you see your family all around you?" No—I'm the only one—but it's not the same as it is now—I seem to be older—I'm still the head of the boys' student council!" What?" I'm - I'm wearing Bill's old badge - and I'm still holding the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup - I'm still the captain of the Quidditch team!
Ron managed to take his eyes off the glorious sight and look at Harry excitedly. Isn't this mirror a sign of the future, you say?"
Yao Shunyu pointed to the text on it, "Not Ron, the text above translates to be, what I show is not your face, but the desire in your heart"
"So he showed us what we wanted?" Harry looked at Yao Shunyu, "Really? ”
"That's right, that's right"
"Yao, what do you want?"
Yao Shunyu looked in the mirror and decisively lied to Harry, "Graduate, become the head of the Ministry of Magic"
Ron was stunned for a long time and stretched out his thumb "Come on, it's much stronger than my dream"
Harry was stunned and then smiled, and then he continued to look at his family in the mirror until Yao Shunyu and Ron forcibly took him away.
After the three of them left, there was a sigh in the corner, Dumbledore showed his figure, and looked at the three people who left under the invisibility cloak, "What a strange child, I hope it's not the next Tom"
