Chapter 52: The Mirror of Eris

Harry Potter, the boy who never dies, and his little henchman Weasley...... Night Tour was caught.

Early the next morning, all the students learned about it.

Under the frenzied persecution of Professor Snape, Gryffindor's house score was already low, and now there was not much left overnight, and the hourglass of recording scores was also empty...... It's shabby to look at!

It's only been two weeks since school started, and they went out on a night out, and they were deducted 100 points, and Harry and Ron suddenly became the target of public criticism.

Harry, in particular, turned his reputation in an instant, from a boy who didn't die to an arrogant violator.

Ron is better, he doesn't have much presence around Harry on weekdays, and now that something has happened, everyone only thinks he is an accomplice, and there is no lot of accusations.

However, the twin brothers were very distressed, the two of them were little princes who traveled at night, and they had never been caught, but they didn't expect the little brother to be so uncompetitive, and they were caught the first time they went out.

The most excited was Malfoy, who often stood at the Slytherin table and loudly described the scenes where Potter and Weasley were caught.

The marks on his face that were scratched by Lady Loris seem to have also been turned into a meritorious medal.

This made Pansy feel distressed.

The little girl regained her belief that Malfoy really had nothing to do with Goyle, and she asked for some medicine from the school hospital to help him wipe his wounds that had long since healed.

But it didn't take long for Malfoy to be complacent, and Peeves told everyone that he had seen Malfoy and Potter kissing that night!

Both parties remained fairly silent about the matter, and did not open their mouths to refute it, which made the students feel more and more that Peeves was not lying.

Potter's Night Tour, it's a date with Malfoy!

Pansy was furious and threw the potion in the trash.

Malfoy was very upset, and he wanted to borrow money from Pansy, scrape together enough lizardskin wallet, and give it back to Rove.

With this money back, he and Rove can talk about joining forces, dominating Hogwarts, and then collecting premiums together.

Rove didn't care about Malfoy's agitation, and he had been studying the silverfish in his black suitcase.

It's a pity that after the silverfish entered the box, it hid in the book and refused to come out again.

Rove didn't hear the witch's voice anymore, he was sure it wasn't auditory hallucinations, but he just couldn't hear it.

In the wizarding world, it's not a good thing to hear voices that no one else can hear, and the teenager prepares to go home for the holidays to give Newt a look...... He is professional in this area.

The good news is that after catching the silverfish and having completed the task of the system, Rove has obtained the magic of the [Word Devourer], which can devour words and magic in books, and then convert them into memories and store them in the brain.

This is the real meaning of "eating books".

In the future, Rove will be able to compete with Hermione for memory!

As for the three-headed dog Luwei, Rove was going to wash his teeth, so he quietly put it back in the forbidden area, pretending that nothing had happened.

Cleaning Luwei's teeth is not a simple task, its teeth are extremely sharp, even dragon skin gloves can bite through, once the bite out of the wound, the toxin will enter the body carefully, preventing the wound from healing.

In his previous life, Rove had learned the story of the toothpick bird in a textbook, and it was said that the Nile crocodile would lie on the shore and open its mouth to let the toothpick bird fly into its mouth to help remove carrion and leeches.

For many years, Rove believed it as much as he believed in the impala crossing in the textbook and the lemming committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

But it's a pity that it's all fake.

The wizarding world doesn't have this toothpick bird that can help animals pick their teeth, but it does have fluffy fluff.

It is a scavenger that eats everything from spiders to food, but its favorite thing is to eat the wizard's boogers with its long tongue while they are sleeping.

Meat chips and tartar on their teeth are, of course, their favorites.

As long as Lu Wei's mouth is jammed and a large amount of fluff is put in, it can be cleaned up softly.

It only took a day to clean up, and Rove quietly returned to the restricted area on the fourth floor again, opened the door and walked inside.

He slipped the palm-sized three-headed dog out of his pocket, and suddenly patted him on the shoulder with both hands.

Rolf was startled, and he turned his head to see Dumbledore looking at him from behind him.

Rove, however, had cast the invisible beast's invisibleness, but he seemed to have nowhere to hide in front of Dumbledore, and he was surprised, "Professor, can you see me?" ”

"Of course, but with some magic."

Dumbledore lowered his head and stared at the three-headed dog in Roff's hand that was whining at him.

At this moment, Rov's mind flashed through countless images, and he was eager to say that he could explain it.

Like what:

This is me picking it up, and I want to lose it on the side of the road......

It's just that this excuse is not too good, Rove still decided to skip this awkward topic, and the young man lifted the back of Lou Wei's neck and grinned:

"Professor Dumbledore, you see I've done a full care for his teeth."

"It's a lot cleaner." Dumbledore nodded:

"Speaking of dental care, I followed your advice and went to the dentist at Granger's house not long ago, and Mr. Granger helped me fill my teeth, and the results were really good."

"Not bad." Rove laughed awkwardly.

"I said I was a professor at Hogwarts, and Mr. Granger gave me a lot of mouthwash."

"Really? Then I'll check it out next time. Rove grinned.

He said that he was a good friend of Hermione, and he didn't know what Mr. Granger would give him, and he was looking forward to it.

"Speaking of Miss Granger......" Dumbledore suddenly remembered something, and he took a letter from his pocket and said:

"She wrote me a lot of letters of complaint, and this is my reply to her, Rove, help me forward it to her."

"Oh, I will." Rove put the letter away and put it in his pocket.

"Walk with me?"

The old man had already taken the lead outside with his hands behind his back, and Rove had no choice but to put Lowe on the ground, then close the door and follow out.

Walking down the empty hallway, Dumbledore chitted, "Do you have any ideas?" A complaint about Miss Granger? ”

"Thoughts?" Rove was a little puzzled.

"Yes, I read that Miss Granger said in her letter that you are also very dissatisfied, and have said more than once that you want to transfer to Ilvermorny."

...... "Hermione, you little girl, you have to show me the complaint letter, you're dead!"

Rove coughed his throat and said:

"There are indeed some problems with the Hogwarts teaching team right now."

"I propose to introduce a last-place elimination system and revise the academic evaluation mechanism for professors, so that even professors who have already obtained positions are reviewed every year."

"If you get 1-2 points in any of the several assessments and don't improve, you will be fired within a year."

"For young teachers, it's best to learn Muggles, and have a '3+3' non-liter walk. That is to say, if you can't be promoted to professor after the two employment periods, the school will not renew the contract. ”

"There is also the output of papers, which is an important criterion for young teachers to be promoted to professors, so why do you have to publish a few articles in top journals?

You can't eat all day and wait for ...... to die."

"After a few years of hard work, our school will definitely rise significantly in the next education evaluation."

Rove thought for a moment and said humbly, "Professor, I can only think of these small proposals for the time being. ”

“……”

Are these proposals still small? The education reform is not as complete as yours!

"Rove, you can write down your thoughts and send them to the Department of Education of the Ministry of Magic, they may refer to it." Dumbledore pondered for a moment and said softly:

"I do have some ideas, Professor Snape spoke to me a while ago about restarting events that have been hiatus for years, such as the School of Witchcraft Potions Tournament and the Triwizard Tournament."

"That's not bad, you can make progress by communicating." Rove said.

As the two of them were nearing the end of the corridor, Rove knowingly asked, "Professor, is there something you are here for?" ”

Dumbledore didn't say, 'He's here to get Rove', but calmly said, "I'll send a mirror." ”

"Mirrors?"

Dumbledore walked towards the room at the end, and Rove followed in, only to see a large mirror standing in the room:

Reaching to the ceiling, it is framed in ornate gold and supported by two claw-shaped feet.

At the top is engraved a line of words:

Erisstra Aitut Ubika Frua Iton Wokhs.

"Any idea what this is?" Dumbledore asked, walking into the mirror.

"The Mirror of Eris can see what the heart desires." Rove looked in the mirror and said, "I heard my grandfather mention it. ”

"And what do you see, kid?"

Rove looked at the mirror, he stared at the mirror for a long time, and then said softly:

"A kid who waited for an owl."

Dumbledore looked at Rove in some surprise, he had expected the boy to see a lot of magical creatures tamed.

"Magic...... What I crave is, Professor, is magic. Rove smiled.

"The owl sent me an offer to study magic, but unfortunately I didn't receive it in Albania."

Dumbledore was silent for a long time, his arm on the young man's shoulder, and he said in a gentle voice:

"Rove, if you need books in the forbidden area in the future, you can write to me and I'll get them for you, but don't show up in the forbidden area at random like that night, you know?"

"I'm sorry, Professor." Rove whispered, "I shouldn't have taken a few of them out for a night tour, and I was in and out of the forbidden book area. ”

"No need to apologize, there's nothing wrong with night stamping occasionally, and I used to swim at night when I was younger." The old man admonished:

"But don't go to dangerous places, let alone go to the forbidden area to learn magic books by yourself, you know?"

Rove nodded.

"Also, Professor McGonagall is angry that you took Granger and Miss Swinton on a night tour."

Dumbledore blinked, "Of course, I didn't tell her, and I don't know who said it, it could be Professor Snape."

She's just angry anyway, so you'd better be careful lately and don't mess with her. ”

“……”

After the boy left, Dumbledore stood alone in front of the mirror, in which an old man with gray hair appeared sitting on dusty steps, smiling at him.

"I have great expectations for Newt's grandson, a child who has the same desire for magic as you and a very high talent, and I will guide him well."

Dumbledore closed his eyes, reached out and touched the mirror lightly, and he murmured:

"I'm not going to let him become a second you, Gellert."
