Chapter 64: The Mirror of Eris
"It's going to be the most amazing thing you've ever seen in your life!"
In front of the classroom door, Harry said categorically.
Hearing this, Link was a little puzzled.
Because he really doesn't have any memory of this part of the plot, he doesn't know exactly what is in this classroom.
Harry, however, didn't care so much, he opened the door and dragged Link inside.
This is actually an abandoned classroom, and there are many more like this in Hogwarts Castle, and they have nothing but a thick layer of dust.
Strictly speaking, this was Filch's dereliction of duty, but considering that Filch was just a squib and had to bother dealing with those naughty wizarding students every day, Link felt that Dumbledore should not blame Filch too much.
But at this moment, Link and the others came to this classroom was different, there were a series of footprints on the dusty floor, and at the end of the footprints was a full-length mirror.
No, to say it's a full-length mirror is simply an insult to it.
The mirror looks magnificent, reaching up to the ceiling and supported by two large claw-like brackets underneath.
On top of that, there is also a long line of letters written in Latin on the top frame of this mirror.
Link didn't know much about Latin, but with the English he had mastered since he crossed over, he could barely pronounce the first few syllables of the string.
"Eris ......"
Link felt like his scalp was about to explode.
With those few syllables, he finally recognized the identity of the mirror in front of him at this moment - the Mirror of Eris!
"It's a magic mirror!Link!" Harry gasped, "I saw a very nice couple in there, I think they should be my parents!"
After all, Harry seemed to be unable to control himself anymore.
He walked quickly to the mirror, and his expression quickly became blurred.
Link looked at Harry with a somewhat complicated expression.
Of course he knew it was a magic mirror, but he also knew that the effect of the Eris Mirror was not actually to show Harry's parents, but to allow the user to see what their hearts wanted most.
For hundreds of years, the Mirror of Eris has been regarded as a vicious tiger by wizards.
Because its effect is so strong that people who are not strong enough to look at it will become completely obsessed, and every day they only think about immersing themselves in the illusion constructed by the Mirror of Eris and forgetting reality.
"It feels amazing! I think that's the best Christmas present I've ever received......! Speaking of Christmas gifts, Link, did you give Cedric a Halo 2000?"
Harry said with a confused look in his eyes, but in the middle of speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Link, a look of curiosity.
Hearing this, Link's expression froze.
You must know that Cedric has ordered all Hufflepuffs to keep it strictly secret in order to confuse their opponents, but unfortunately, the Hufflepuffs obviously can't help but use this matter as a talking point to show off to other houses.
However, this made Link a little embarrassed, after all, he and Harry were on good terms for now, and it was obviously not good for Harry for him to give Cedric a Light Wheel 2000.
Scratching his head, Link said slowly:
"yes, Cedric has been worrying about the broom lately. Considering that he usually takes good care of me, I gave him a hand. ”
Looking at Link's explanation, Harry grinned:
"Don't worry, Link, I won't blame you, after all, I use the Light Wheel 2000 myself. If you want me to say, it's only fair that everyone else uses the Smooth Wheel 2000. But if I run into a Hufflepuff, I'm not going to let it out!"
"Hah! I'd better wait until you beat the Hufflepuffs. You know, Cedric wasn't a vegetarian either. ”
Link and Harry glanced at me, and the awkward atmosphere in the classroom eased.
And at this moment, Harry also reacted, and he said with some excitement:
"Damn, I almost forgot. Come and see my parents, Link, I can guarantee that they are definitely the best parents in the world!"
Harry said as he stepped out of his body and beckoned Link over.
Seeing this, Link hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward.
Link is still somewhat confident in his willpower.
In terms of reflective ability alone, the Mirror of Eris is actually not as good as an ordinary mirror, and Link can only see his own vague figure when he stands in front of the mirror.
There seemed to be a layer of fog shrouded in the mirror, making it impossible for Link to even see his own face.
It's just that the picture on the mirror quickly changed, with a spiral of ripples rippling on it, and a layer of warm tones gradually spread throughout the picture.
The mirror continued to become clearer, and it was only after it stabilized that Link finally saw the picture inside.
I saw that in a detective office covered with golden sunlight, Link was lying on the sofa, holding a coffee cup in one hand and a newspaper in the other.
"Hmm......"
Link smiled and shook his head, this was really what he had seen in his dreams before, and the Mirror of Eris had made it the thing he longed for the most.
"Link, did you see that?"
Harry shouted anxiously, and Link shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, Harry, I didn't see your parents. I think everyone can see something different from this mirror. Oh wait, it's ......"
Link's voice stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face became surprised.
Because at this moment, the picture in front of him actually began to change again.
It was supposed to be an award ceremony, and a whitebearded wizard who looked like Dumbledore was hanging an M-shaped medal on Link's body.
Around him, he was surrounded by people, the most conspicuous of which were Emily beside 'himself' and a woman wearing a black veil who couldn't see her face clearly.
At this moment, they were all laughing and applauding Link in the center of the crowd, as if to celebrate his great achievement.
The woman in black gauze was even more tearful, looking very moved.
"Whew!"
Link took a deep breath, he couldn't figure out what the image in front of him meant.
But soon, the picture began to change again.
This time, the scene is a ruined wall, and there are many corpses in the ruins.
Although there were no obvious features, from the forest in the distance and the dark lake nearby, Link recognized the ruins as Hogwarts!
Dressed in black, Link was walking through the ruins, wand in hand, his god cold, as if looking for something.
Then, his figure suddenly stopped.
A cruel smile appeared on his face.
He smiled and bent over, pulled out a wand shaped like a sugar gourd in a wrinkled hand in the ruins, and raised it high with a sinister smile!
"Boom!"
A silver-white lightning bolt pierced the sky, illuminating the entire dim picture, and also reflected the huge and terrifying snake shadow behind Link in the painting!
At the same time, a sharp pain came from Link's brain.
He clutched his head in pain, and his body shook from the pain.
Seeing this, Harry hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said anxiously:
"Link! What's wrong with you, Link!"
