Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mirror of Eris (continued)!
Facing the Mirror of Eris, Harry. Potter had to cover his mouth with his hand to keep him from screaming. He spun around sharply. His heart was beating wilder than the book screamed just now—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. Are they all invisible? Could it be that he was actually in a room with many invisible people, and the magic of this mirror was to shine them all out, invisible or not? He looked in the mirror again.
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 with 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. It was as if he wanted to be able to pounce in and stay with them. He felt a sharp pang in his heart, half of joy, half of deep sorrow.
How long he stood there, he didn't know. The image in the mirror never disappeared, and he couldn't get enough of it, until some voice came from afar, and he came back to his senses. He can't stay here, he has to go back to sleep. Reluctantly, he looked away from his mother's face and whispered, "I'll come again." He hurried out of the room.
The live stream in the dream world is over. Liu Jiecao said to everyone: "For happy people, this is just an ordinary mirror. But for the unfortunate person, it is the magic mirror, because it can always show you the happiness that the unfortunate person wants the most, and make you wander and never return. And for those who are numb to life and don't know what they want, this magic mirror is the supreme treasure, because it can help the confused person to point out the real desire in their hearts. ”
Then, he glanced at his friends. "I don't think you need it." ”
The friends are smiling, they really don't need it, they live very full. There is no need for a mirror to comfort. This magic mirror is only worth being studied by them, not being seduced by the spells in it.
Liu Jiecao glanced at Hermione, according to the original plot, it was not far from the crucial time that she should have mastered a small part, so there was no need to hide it from her now. As long as she doesn't go out and talk nonsense like she used to, there's no problem.
He continued, "The most important thing about the Mirror of Eris is not itself, but what Dumbledore hides in it. Lemay's Philosopher's Stone. Soon after. It will be placed in the place where the three-headed dog is guarded. The people who are still peeking there are completely in the wrong direction, confused by Dumbledore. The development of things is still under Dumbledore's control. ”
Liu Jiecao still remembers that Voldemort had an intuitive evaluation of Dumbledore in the original plot, which was: "You are still so omniscient, Dumbledore." ”
Dumbledore was able to spy on everything in the school, and with all sorts of intelligence sources, he always knew everything he wanted to know, and there wasn't much he could hide from him.
There is a person who has to worry about being snooped on by him at all times, but at the same time feels safe because Dumbledore will protect the school.
The next morning......
"You should wake me up." Ron said angrily.
"You can come tonight, I'm going again, I want you to look in that mirror." Harry said, "Are you going with you too?" Liu Jiecao? ”
Liu Jiecao spread his hands and said: "Forget it, the three people in the invisible clothes belt are too crowded and dangerous, I'll talk about it next time." ”
In fact, Liu Jiecao already planned to lead the team by himself, and when it came to stealth, he was not without other ways.
"I want to see your mom and dad." Unlike Liu Jiecao's indifferent appearance, Ron said eagerly.
Harry said, "I want to see your whole family, to see the Weasleys, and you can point out your other brothers and all your relatives." ”
"You can see them all the time." Ron said, "Come to our house this summer." However, only dead people may appear in the mirror. Alas, I'm ashamed that we haven't found information on Lemay. You eat some bacon or something, why don't you eat anything? ”
Harry couldn't eat. He met his parents, and he was going to see them tonight. He had almost forgotten about Lemay. It doesn't seem so important anymore. Who cares what the three big dogs are guarding? Even if Snape stole it, what did it matter? Harry's biggest concern was that he couldn't find the room with the mirror.
The next night, because Ron was also in the cloak of invisibility, they walked much slower. They tried to find Harry's route out of the library, and wandered aimlessly through the dimly lit aisles for nearly an hour.
By the way, in order to find the route more accurately, the two of them were broadcast live by Liu Jiecao today. Yesterday they had already calculated the general route, and today they will check it again.
After all, this school is too big, and the various magic mechanisms in it are also complicated, and if he doesn't confirm it, Liu Jiecao doesn't dare to lead the team to take risks casually.
"I'm frozen." Ron said, "We're not looking for it, let's go back." ”
"No way!" Harry hissed, "I know it's somewhere nearby. ”
They rubbed shoulders with the ghost of a tall wizard who wandered from the opposite side, but saw no one else. Just as Ron began to scream that his feet were going to freeze, Harry saw the armor.
"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." Ron said.
"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. Ron stared at himself in the mirror dumbfounded.
"Look at me!" Ron said.
"Can you see your family all around you?" Harry asked eagerly.
"No--I'm the only one--but it's not like I am now--I'm a little older--I'm still the president of the boys' student council!"
"What?"
"I'm - I'm wearing Bill's old badge - and I'm 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 looked at Harry excitedly. "You say, does this mirror indicate the future?"
"How is that possible? My family is dead—let me see again—"
"You've been watching alone all night, so give me a moment."
"You're just holding a Quidditch cup, what's the fun about that? I want to see my parents. ”
"Don't push me—"
Suddenly a voice rang out in the hallway outside, ending their argument. They didn't realize how loud they were talking.
"Quick!"
No sooner had Ron draped the cloak of invisibility over the two of them than Lady Loris's sparkling eyes turned through the door. Ron and Harry stood motionless, thinking the same thing in their minds - does the invisibility cloak work for cats?
After about a century, Lady Loris finally turned away.
"Still not safe - it probably went to Filch, I'm sure it hears us. Let's go. ”
Ron pulled Harry and walked out of the room.
On Liu Jiecao's side, the route has been officially determined, and they have kept it in their hearts.
For the means of invisibility, both of them already have it, and it is still an invisibility cloak.
Liu Jiecao is not without other means, but at present, the invisibility cloak is the most suitable.
Alone in the Immortal Sect, he has no ability to imitate the invisibility cloak, but if Liu Jiecao is added, then with the strength of the two of them, the result will be different.
One of the three holy relics of the Grim Reaper, it is very difficult to copy, just copycat it, and make it almost the same as the kind of invisibility cloak that can be bought on the market, even if it is a weaker invisibility cloak.
Even, the two of them are ready to make an invisibility cloak that can only be time-limited.
Last time, the two had used their own means to analyze the invisibility cloak, but that wasn't enough. It was still necessary to borrow it from Harry again, or to secretly take out the Cloak of Invisibility while Harry was away for more detailed research.
Actually, this opportunity will come soon. (To be continued......)
