Chapter 44: Eris
"I'm frozen. "Fun" www.biquge.info Ron said discouragedly, "or we won't look for it, let's go back." ”
"No!" said Harry, hoarsely, "hold on, we're almost there, I know it must be somewhere around here!"
At this time, El and the others passed by a tall ghost wandering from the opposite side, but thankfully, the ghost did not notice them. It seems that this invisibility cloak is not only useful for people, even the ghosts can't see them.
Just as Ron began to scream that his feet were going to freeze, Harry finally found the place, next to a tall suit of armor, with a closed wooden door.
Harry pointed to the wooden door and said in surprise, "This is it, here we are!"
Al pushed the door open and swarmed in, into a dilapidated room.
The room looked like an abandoned classroom, with many desks and chairs stacked on the wall, showing a large black shadow, and an upside-down wastepaper basket and some worn-out parchment scattered haphazardly on the floor.
Directly in front of the wall facing Al and them, there was something that didn't seem to belong here, as if someone had put it there because they didn't have a place to put it.
It is a very imposing mirror, reaching up to the ceiling, with an ornate gold frame and two claw-shaped feet underneath to support the mirror.
At the top of the mirror is carved a line that reads: Eris Stra Euhruitu Bika Frua Iton Vorst.
Harry took the cloak off his shoulder and raced to a large mirror, looking at it with a smile on his face.
Looking back at Al and Ron, Harry pointed to the mirror and said with a look of excitement, "Did you see that? ”
Al stood behind Harry, only seeing Harry reflected in the mirror, and himself and Ron in the distance, but no one else.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see anything. ”
Harry pointed to the mirror in disbelief and exclaimed, "How is it possible, you see, here they are, right here!"
Ron glanced at Harry, frowned, and said, "I only see yourself, really." ”
"Oh, I forgot, you guys are standing with me. Harry patted himself on the head and gave them a place.
Al slowly approached the mirror, trying to take a closer look, but it was still empty except for himself, and he took a few steps closer and stood in front of it.
Suddenly, a scene appeared in the mirror that surprised Al. Around Al, there were many people, men and women, old and young, tall, short, fat and thin.
Al recognized them at a glance, these were his family, his parents, grandparents, and a whole host of other relatives, who were now watching Al wave his hands and smile at him.
At this moment, Al felt a slight pain in his heart, he was both surprised to see them again, and sad at their death, for a moment he had a lot of thoughts and mixed feelings.
"Dad... Mommy ......"
Al choked up, then took a deep breath and looked at the people in the mirror with a sad gaze, and before he knew it, the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
"What do you see?" Harry and Ron asked curiously, unable to see what Al was seeing.
"Nothing, it's my family. Al wiped the corners of his eyes, bowed his head away from the mirror, and sat down on a chair in the corner of the room, silent.
Seeing that Al's mood was not quite right, Harry and Ron did not continue to bother him, and after the two of them exchanged glances, Ron walked a few steps and came to the mirror.
"Did you see your family too?" Harry asked Ron.
"No!" Ron opened his mouth wide, stared at himself in the mirror dumbfounded, and said in surprise, "Look at me, I have become the president of the student council!"
"What?"
"I'm wearing Bill's old badge, and I'm holding the House Cup and Quidditch Cup, oh my God! I'm still the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team!"
Ron managed to take his eyes off the glorious spectacle, he looked at Harry, and said excitedly, "You say, does this mirror indicate the future?"
"How is that possible!" Harry shook his head, and said, "My family is dead, how can this be a harbinger of the future! ”
"You've seen it while we're sleeping, so let it go to me now. ”
"You're just holding a Quidditch cup, what's the fun about that? Get out of the way, I want to see my parents again. ”
"Don't push me......"
As Harry and Ron were jotling for a place in front of the mirror, a voice interrupted them.
"I don't show your face, but the desire of your heart. ”
"What?"
Harry and Ron looked at Al in confusion, wondering how he could have come up with such a sentence.
Al pointed to the line at the top of the mirror and said to Harry and Ron, "That text, if you read it from back to front, becomes the sentence I just said. ”
Harry and Ron looked up, and sure enough, as Al had said, if you read the seemingly meaningless line from back to front, it would make sense and make sense clearly.
"I see. Harry nodded and said, "It seems that this mirror should enable the person looking in the mirror to see what he wants most." ”
"So, what I want most is a Quidditch trophy, and what you want most is your family!" Ron blinked and admired, "If you really have your El, you can find it." ”
Just as Al was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded outside the room.
"Quick! put on the cloak of invisibility!"
Al jumped up from his chair and ran up to Harry in two steps in three steps, snatching the Cloak of Invisibility and enveloping the three of them inside.
No sooner had they put on their cloaks of invisibility than Lady Loris, with green eyes shining in them, came through the door.
Al and the others realized that they must have been talking too loudly just now, which attracted Lady Loris's attention.
Al and the others were motionless, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being heard by Mrs. Loris, so they could only keep hoping in their hearts, hoping that the invisibility cloak would also work on cats.
It seemed like a century had passed before Lady Loris finally turned away.
After sensing that the cat was already far away, Al whispered to Harry and Ron, "I'm sure it must have heard us just now, it's not safe here, it's likely to go find Filch, so we'd better go back before he comes!"
