The legendary Mirror of Eris, a famous alchemical artifact, allows everyone standing in front of it to see what they want most.

It's magical.

"That's ...... A mirror of the mind? ”

Kyle resisted the urge to take a look and looked elsewhere.

"Looks like you recognize the Mirror of Eris."

Dumbledore appeared behind Kyle at some point and said gently, "I'm glad you can resist its temptation, which many adult wizards can't do.

People spend their time in front of it, obsessed with what they see, and even driven crazy. ”

"I just don't want to add to my troubles, Headmaster." Kyle turned around and smiled, "I'm pretty happy with my life right now. ”

"A wise choice."

Dumbledore walked around Kyle and walked over to the mirror and gently stroked the golden border, "I must admit that at this point, you have surpassed me as an old man, because even I sometimes can't help but come and look at it." ”

"And what do you see when you look in the mirror?" Kyle duly asked, "Is magic really true?" Or a more esoteric theory. ”

"You're blushing at me, Kyle."

"I may not be as great as you think, because what I see is myself holding a pair of thick woolen socks."

"There are never enough socks to wear." Dumbledore blinked, "Christmas came and went, I didn't receive a pair of socks, and people insisted on sending me books. ”

Kyle had reason to suspect that Dumbledore was implying that he was giving a gift. After all, Christmas is less than two months away.

While Kyle was wondering whether to make a statement, Dumbledore had already returned to his desk and ordered himself a cup of black tea and a plate full of sugar cubes.

"Would you like something to drink, Kyle?"

"Lemonade."

Dumbledore nodded, and soon there was a large glass of lemonade on the table.

Kyle takes a sip and realizes that it tastes like regular lemonade, and it doesn't make any difference just because he was in the principal's office.

After he drank a full glass of lemonade, Dumbledore on the other side was still leisurely sipping black tea, without the slightest intention of speaking.

The portraits of the former headmasters on the wall were also very quiet, and they all snored softly in their frames, though occasionally someone half-opened their eyes and secretly looked at him.

In this atmosphere, Kyle only felt uncomfortable.

Just then, the whistle of a Quidditch match was heard outside the window.

Kyle froze and asked, "Headmaster, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Look at me, I patronized and drank tea, and I almost forgot about business."

Dumbledore patted his forehead, stood up, and led Kyle to a tall gilded perch behind the door.

There was a flaming red phoenix, Fawkes.

"Fox has been throwing tantrums with me all this time." Dumbledore said distressedly, "But I don't know what the reason is, can you help me ask?" ”

"Is that so?"

Kyle was aware and turned to look at Fawkes. He knew that the phoenix would understand what Dumbledore had just said.

Fawkes glanced at Kyle and then turned his gaze back to Dumbledore, and the bird reluctantly squealed with a look of disgust on his face.

Kyle nodded, "No wonder you're so angry. ”

"What did it say?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

Although he was a linguistic genius, and could even teach himself snake language and fairy language, unlike Phoenix, the language of this ancient creature was so obscure that even he could hardly understand it completely.

In addition, the angry Fox seemed to speak with a little accent, and he couldn't understand it even more.

Kyle pondered his words and said, "Headmaster, Fawkes told you not to put cockroaches in its food in the future." ”

Dumbledore's expression was a little incredulous, "I always thought it would love that." ”

When Fawkes heard Dumbledore's words, he immediately turned around in a huff and pointed his ass at him.

It's a phoenix, and it's not a chicken, how could it like bugs.

Dumbledore also realized that something was wrong, and quickly apologized, trying to make up for the mistake just now.

But Fawkes ignored him, and wherever Dumbledore went, it would change direction at the first moment, always leaving him with only one ass. He even covered his head with his wings, and didn't listen to what he said.

In the end, it was Kyle who contributed his white fresh leaves and a bellflower, which barely coaxed the angry Fawkes.

Don't get me wrong, this bellflower wasn't Kyle got from the common room, but the prize he paid for helping Professor Sprout clean the greenhouse.

It's a pity that I haven't covered it yet, so it's gone.

Watching Fox swallow it in three or two bites, Kyle was distressed.

"I knew I was right to look for you."

Dumbledore happily patted Kyle on the shoulder and said, "Without you, it might have taken me a while to coax it." ”

"It's nothing, Headmaster." Kyle forced a smile and said, "Is there anything else?" If not, I'd like to go to a Quidditch match. ”

Kyle touched his transformer lizard skin pouch, he didn't want to stay for a minute now.

What if Fawkes doesn't feel like he has eaten it and makes trouble again, he's just a first-year wizard, and he doesn't have any extra herbs.

Besides, the phoenix is not his, so let Dumbledore solve it himself.

"There's one more thing, don't worry, it won't delay your time too much." Dumbledore turned around and pulled out a bottle of potions from the drawer behind his desk.

"This is a magic suppressant potion for Mikel."

Dumbledore explained, "Originally, I wanted Madam Pomfrey to bring him, but I don't think he really wants to go to the infirmary, so you just happened to be here, so let's take it back with you." ”

Kyle took the potion and couldn't help but ask, "Headmaster, hasn't Mikel learned to control magic yet?" ”

"It's not an easy thing to do." Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "But Pomona said that he was making rapid progress, and by the time he reached his second year, he should no longer need a potion of suppression." ”

Kyle nodded.

"Remember." Dumbledore instructed, "I know that Professor Snape's potion may not be that tasty, but it is very important to Mikel. So you have to make sure he's actually drunk it, and not just find a random place to dump the potion. ”

"Don't worry, Headmaster, Mikel is my roommate." Kyle smiled, "I'll be sure to watch him finish it." ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Dumbledore picked up the cup of black tea again, "Come and watch the game, it shouldn't be over yet." ”
