Section I

Since Halloween night, facing trolls together, Harry, Ron, and Hermione have become true friends. When the professors hurried in and saw the messy bathroom, the corpses of the trolls in two sections, the roaring Sauron and the trembling Harry, the reactions varied - Professor Quirrell's face was pale, sitting on the toilet and gasping for air, Snape scrutinized the corpse of the troll, and then looked at Sauron with a strange expression, while Professor McGonagall, she didn't say much, but her suppressed anger could be seen in her tightly pursed lips and frowning brow.

Unexpectedly, Hermione lied to the professors and took the blame for the matter, while Harry, Ron, and Sauron were here for him - Hermione was deducted five points, while the other three each earned five points for their respective houses.

"Are you sure Sauron is your twin brother—" Hermione asked Harry at the Gryffindor table.

"What do you mean?" Harry didn't understand what Hermione meant, "It's obvious, isn't it, we look the same." Harry's tone was a little unhappy.

"Oh no, I mean, is he really your age?" Hermione said, "I've been looking through a lot of books in the library for the past two days, and I've found that your brother's magic is not at all what students can learn in school. ”

"Maybe I learned it from some adult wizard." Ron muttered as he ate the jam pie.

"It can't be, Ron. Some spells are not something that can be used without knowing how to recite a mantra, but also have strong mana. Hermione gave Ron an idiot look, and then, in a low voice, said, "And, I suspect that the spell Sauron used against the trolls that night was dark magic. ”

"Shhh

"Dark magic?" Harry looked at them both puzzled, "What Professor Quirrell was talking about in class?" ”

"Yes, that's evil magic, they were created to kill and destroy, to achieve ulterior purposes, only evil dark wizards will use them, and they are also enemies of justice." Hermione said as he saw Ron and Harry's eyes widen, "Don't you never read books, the 1830 Wizards' Convention makes it clear." ”

"Evil Dark Wizard—" Harry muttered, "like Lord Voldemort." ”

"Don't say that name." Ron said with some trepidation.

Harry didn't speak, turned his head to look at the Slytherin table, and didn't see Sauron.

"Are you alright, Harry?" Hermione said cautiously, noticing that Harry's face was a little ugly, and comforted, "I mean, you don't have to, in fact it doesn't mean much, besides- Sauron saved us, didn't he." ”

"And Sauron is really cool." Ron said heartlessly, not noticing Hermione glaring at him.

Harry didn't say anything, just nodded, but his face was much better.

……

"Looks like you're hurt a lot, Professor." Sauron said, a mocking look on his face, "Do you want to help?" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Potter, I don't think I need your help." Snape said coldly, his face was ugly, I don't know if it was because of pain or anger, he turned and left, but after a few steps, he stopped again-

"Professor Dumbledore wants to see you, Mr. Potter." With that, he strode away.

Sauron stared at his back for a moment, then turned away as well.

Sauron walked through two doors and down a marble hallway to the third floor, where a stone monster stood in the center of the empty hallway. Sauron walked up to the monster and said, "Chilled lemon juice." ”

The monster parted to reveal a moving spiral staircase, and Sauron made his way up the staircase to an oak door, on which he tapped lightly three times. The door opened, and inside was Dumbledore's office.

It's a spacious, beautiful circular room filled with all sorts of funny little sounds. On the slender legged table, there were many strange silverwares, spinning and belching out small puffs of smoke. The walls are covered with portraits of the old headmasters, all of whom are snoring softly in their frames. There is also a huge table in the room with claw-shaped legs. Dumbledore sat behind the large table and saw Sauron, and he said in a cheerful tone, "Welcome, Mr. Potter, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, would you like something to drink—well, how about wine?" ”

"Forget it, I'll have to go to class in a while." Sauron smiled and said, "What is the matter with me?" ”

"Oh yes, I hope Mr. Potter can do me a small favor, I think it will be easy with your abilities."

"Let me guess, is it about the Philosopher's Stone?"

"I have to say, I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Potter." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Section II

The next morning, the weather was clear and cold. The enticing smell of grilled sausages fills the room, and everyone is looking forward to a good Quidditch match and chatting happily, even the Slytherins, who are usually quiet when eating.

Harry looked too nervous to eat, and Ron and Hermione kept trying to persuade him. Finally, with Sauron's comfort, he barely ate a large piece of buttered bread and a roasted sausage.

"Believe me, Dad was a good Seeker back then, and I think you'll be doing a great job." Sauron comforted, "I'm sure you've inherited his talent. ”

"Yes, Daddy is a good Seeker, but you still don't even understand how to use a broom." Harry said.

Sauron smiled helplessly, and Harry's mood improved a lot.

The afternoon game was as exciting as everyone expected, Harry flew well, and after he took to the skies on his broomstick, he seemed to be in good shape, and if it wasn't for Slytherin's Seeker Higgins, Harry would have caught the Snitch.

Gryffindor, for their part, was clearly unhappy with Higgins' behaviour and shouted loudly, while Mrs. Hodge awarded a penalty and allowed Gryffindor to take a free-kick by the post.

Suddenly, Sauron noticed that Harry's condition was not normal, his broom seemed to be out of control, shaking, twisting, and scurrying around frantically, as if trying to throw Harry off it. Sauron soon realizes that someone is using a curse on Harry's broomstick, and that this person is obviously not low, so this rules out the possibility that the Slytherin students did it. Sauron stared at Harry intensely, reciting the Breaking Spell, and the effect was obvious, the broom no longer flew around, but only shook violently in place. But that wasn't enough, and Harry couldn't sit comfortably on his broomstick.

Sauron heard a whispered incantation behind him, and Sauron couldn't turn back, but he could hear it being Snape's voice—he was doing the same thing as Sauron, trying to break the spell that came from nowhere. The effect was noticeable, and with Snape's help, Harry's broom no longer wobbled. Harry was able to climb back onto the broomstick, but it was clear that he still couldn't control it, and the broom stopped where it was. Sauron breathed a sigh of relief, at least Harry was safe now, but right away, Snape exclaimed, "Damn, this is on fire!" ”

Sauron immediately became nervous again, fearing that Harry's broom would get out of control again without Snape's help, but to his surprise, Harry's broom seemed to be back to normal - Harry controlled the broom and flew smoothly.

In the end, Harry ended the match with a nice dive that caught the Golden Snitch.

Sauron left the stands immediately after the match, but he couldn't find Harry in the chaotic crowd. Guessing that he was probably with Hagrid, Sauron made his way to Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Sauron knocked on the wooden door of Hagrid's hut, and Hagrid's voice came from inside—"I'm coming, no, back back, back teeth..."

The door opened, and Sauron saw Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid all in the room. Sauron noticed that Hermione had an unnatural look when she looked at him. Hagrid was enthusiastic and welcomed Sauron into the house.

Hagrid closed the door to the hut, turned around and said, "Harry, what's wrong with you, I see that your broom doesn't seem quite right. ”

"Snape did it," Ron said, "Hermione and I both saw him chanting a spell on Harry's broomstick, muttering with his mouth and his eyes fixed on him. ”

"Nonsense," said Hagrid, "is ridiculous, he can't possibly harm Harry." ”

"But it is a fact, and if I see evil intentions, I can recognize it. I've read all about them in books! You have to make eye contact with them, Snape's eyes don't blink, I see it! And then I put a fire behind him and interrupted his spell casting, and Harry's broom was fine. ”

Sauron raised an eyebrow and turned to Hermione, "You lit the fire on Snape. ”

Hermione nodded unnaturally, not looking at Sauron.

"Then I should be glad you didn't choose me." Sauron said in a strange tone.

"What does he mean, Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Well, I see, Sauron was there just now, doing the same thing as Snape." Hermione said hesitantly. Harry and Ron looked incredulous.

"Well, Sauron, I guess you didn't cast a spell on Harry, did you?" Ron said cautiously.

Sauron glanced at them and said; "No, I'm chanting a spell on Harry."

The other three had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"I'm chanting a mantra, but it's not a curse. Someone is indeed chanting a curse, and I'm trying to break it," Sauron said calmly, and when he saw what Hermione was trying to say, he spoke again, "And Snape didn't chant the curse either, he sat next to me, and I knew very well that he was protecting Harry, too." If he and I both wanted to hurt Harry, Harry wouldn't have insisted that you do those little things. ”

Hermione's face quickly turned red, and her expression was embarrassed.

"Look, I'll just say, it can't be Snape's doing, there's no reason for him to do it." Hagrid said angrily.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione exchanged glances.

"I also found out a few things about Snape," Harry said to Hagrid. On Halloween's Eve, he figured out the big dog with three heads. It bit him. We think he's trying to steal something guarded by the big dog. Hagrid put down the teapot heavily. ”

"How do you know about the three-headed Lowe?" He asked.

"Three-headed Louwie?"

"Yes - it's mine - it was bought from a Greek I met at the hotel last year - I lent it to Dumbledore to guard it - " "What?" Harry asked eagerly.

"Well, that's not your concern," Sauron said coldly, "It's none of your business, understand?"

"But Snape wanted to steal it."

"Nonsense," said Hagrid, "Snape was a teacher at Hogwarts, and he would never do anything like that." ”

"Then why did he go to the big dog?" Hermione asked aloud.

"I told you, it's none of your business!" Sauron said impatiently, "I said that too much curiosity will kill you. ”

"But ......"

"I sue you, you're wrong!" Hagrid said, "Snape is a teacher at Hogwarts, and he would never do that, just as he would never want to kill a student!" Now, all three of you listen to me - you're meddling in something that has nothing to do with you. It's dangerous. Forget the big dog, forget what it was guarding, this was between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolame-"

"Aha!" Harry said, "There's a guy named Nicol Lemay involved, doesn't it?" Hagrid was furious, he was angry with himself.

Sauron glared at Hagrid coldly.

Section III

Christmas is just around the corner, and everyone can't wait for the holidays. Most of the Slytherins decided to go home for Christmas, and Sauron signed the list of students who stayed on campus for the holidays. Originally, he wanted to go back to the mansion for the holidays, but the conversation with Dumbledore that day discouraged him.

The Slytherin lounge was warm, and Sauron and Epikos sat on the couch by the fireplace, with a bottle of red wine and a few snacks on a small table in front of them.

Ibpicos raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and after a long time he opened his eyes and said, "Excellent, this wine is not to be missed." ”

Sauron held the goblet and shook it gently, he looked at the glass in his hand steadily, the red wine in the glass reflected an eerie and gorgeous color in the silver flame of the fireplace.

"Ibikos, what do you crave the most?" Sauron said quietly.

"The most desired? Hmm—" Ibikos was slightly surprised, "this is a problem, so many people spend their lives trying to figure out what they really want. “

"yes, that's a real problem." Sauron smiled bitterly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, it doesn't make much sense." ”

"It's fine. By the way, I'm going home tomorrow, do you need to prepare for that? ”

"Forget it, it's not time yet, they're not ready." Sauron said with his eyes closed.

"As you wish."

Meanwhile, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are working on Nicol? Lemay is worried.

Ever since Hagrid said that he had slipped his mouth out that day, the three of Harry had been looking for Nick in the books? Lemay's name, and there was no other way for them to find out what Snape was trying to steal? They didn't dare to ask the other professors, for fear of being noticed by Snape, and Hagrid and Sauron refused to tell them.

Hermione pulled a list out of her pocket, grinning at the topics and titles he had decided to look up. Seeing the dense list of books, Harry and Ron couldn't help but sigh.

"Why wouldn't Hagrid tell us, and Sauron, I'm sure he must know something." Ron grumbled.

"Quite simply, they don't trust us, they trust Snape." Hermione said.

"Why?" Ron said unconvinced.

"It's just that we're first-graders." Hermione said as she pulled a thick book from the shelf, "Which do you think is more credible, a professor or three first-year freshmen?" ”

"Sauron is also in first grade." Ron muttered.

……

Section IV

On Christmas morning, Sauron got up early as usual, and when he pushed open the door to the lounge, he was surprised to find a small pile of presents in front of the door. Sauron opened the gift packages with great interest—three packets of candy, from Harry, Hermione, and Ron; A long horn of an unknown animal, with a peculiar aroma, was given by Hagrid; A very thick book with no name, given by Dumbledore; There was also a bottle of old red wine, which was given by Ibikos.

Looking at the large bag of candy Harry had sold, Sauron felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, after all, he hadn't received a gift for Christmas in years.

"Hopefully Harry will like my gift." Sauron thought, but soon he was worried about the three bags of candy - he didn't like sugar.

Harry received a bunch of presents on Christmas morning, two of which were the most surprising, the same being a rare invisibility cloak that he didn't know who had given them; The other was Sauron's gift, a jade pendant, worn on a thin chain of an unknown metal, apparently around his neck, with the accompanying letter saying only "Be sure to wear it with you."

"What is this for?" Harry asked Ron with the pendant.

"I don't know, maybe it's a talisman." Ron said uncertainly.

……

In the silence of the night, Harry wore an invisibility cloak and walked as fast as he could, and he came to the room where the magic mirror was kept, and his heart was full of excitement that he would soon see his family - in the mirror.

Two days ago, on Christmas night, Harry infiltrated the ** section of the library to find Lemay with the help of the Cloak of Invisibility, only to accidentally open a screaming book, which attracted Filch. Then, in a panic as he escaped, he stumbled into a room that looked like an abandoned classroom, and the mirror was in the room - it was a very imposing mirror, a magnificent golden frame that reached to the ceiling, supported by two claw-shaped feet at the bottom, and a line engraved on the top: "erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi". Harry saw his father, mother, grandfather, and Sauron in the mirror, and the feeling of happiness together made Harry almost obsessed. The next day, he brought Ron with him, and he wanted to bring Sauron with him, but Sauron didn't know where he went. And tonight, Ron wouldn't come with him, so he came here alone.

Harry sat in front of the mirror, looking at his family in the mirror, looking at him, smiling kindly, with his father, mom, and grandpa standing behind him, and Sauron sitting next to him.

Harry looked at them fixedly, his heart flooded with happiness, but it was accompanied by sadness that could not be dissolved. Gradually, tears welled up in his eyes.

"I really hope this qiē is true." Harry muttered to himself.

As if sensing Harry's sadness, Dad and Mom waved at Harry, and Sauron put his arm around Harry's shoulder.

To Harry's surprise, there was a real touch coming from his shoulder. He turned his head in surprise to find that Sauron was actually sitting next to him, and Sauron patted him on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly.

"Okay, stop crying." Sauron said as he stood up.

"When did you come, why didn't I see you."

"Not everyone has to be invisible." Sauron said gently, "I was in the house when you first came. ”

"Really?" Harry said in surprise, then he hesitated for a moment and said, "Then here you are, ......"

Sauron understood what Harry meant, and instead of answering Harry's question, he said, "Harry, do you know what this mirror does?" ”

Harry shook his head and said, "All I know is that I saw my family inside, and Ron saw him become the president of the boys' student council." ”

Sauron walked over to the mirror, pointed to the line at the top, and said, Harry, read it backwards.

Kurasato stared at the line for a moment, then showed a clear expression. Then he looked at Sauron, then lowered his head again.

"Am I useless, brother?" Harry said in frustration, "It's all unreal, but I, I know it's not real, but I can't help but look at it, I'm too weak." ”

"It's not your fault, Harry, it's not your fault." Sauron walked over to him and comforted.

"Yes, Sauron was right."

Harry's face turned pale at the sound. Harry looked up and saw Dumbledore standing right in front of them.

"That, I, we-" Harry tried to explain something.

"Don't be nervous, Harry." Dumbledore said gently, "Sauron has been here to help me these nights, in fact, he's worried about you. As for this mirror, it allows us to see only the deepest and strongest desires of our hearts. You've never seen your family, so you see them standing around you. Ron Weasley had been dwarfed by his older brothers, so he saw himself standing alone, the best of them all. However, this mirror can neither teach us knowledge nor tell us the truth. People spend their days in front of it, obsessed with what they see, and even driven mad because they don't know if the qiē in the mirror is real and if it is possible. ”

"Harry, this mirror is going to be moved, and I don't want you to look for it again. Harry, be strong, and when you can face this mirror without being affected, you'll really grow up. Sauron said earnestly. Now, you'd better go back and get some sleep, and we'll go back first, Professor. ”

"Have a good night's sleep, Mr. Potter."

On the way back, Harry asked Sauron.

"What do you see in the mirror, Sauron?"

Sauron was stunned for a moment, a bitter smile on his face, "That's not important, is it?" Besides, what I see is the same as what you see - it will never happen. ”

ps: This is a transitional chapter, there is no strong plot, and a lot of side descriptions are used for the plot to unfold, which may seem a bit chaotic. There are several important foreshadowings that appear in this chapter, such as the pendant.

I originally wanted to get a few powerful lines for Sauron, but considering the future plot, I passed it.

The Chinese New Year has been very busy these days, and the update may be unstable, so forgive me.
