Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King
#101 - Chapter 101 Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, Tell Me What I Want
Listening to the simple and unadorned wishes of the little ones, Sebastian couldn't help but smile.
Silly kids, haven't you heard that wishes don't come true if you shout them out loud?
Watching the fireworks fill the sky, Sebastian smiled and narrowed his eyes.
The Hogwarts of today has a very interesting thing—the Mirror of Erised.
Standing in front of this mirror, people can know the most intense desires of their hearts.
Looking at the children jumping around in front of him, a strong curiosity rose in Sebastian's heart.
If these children knew that the most intense desire in their hearts was not the wish they shouted out, how would they react?
As a man of action, Sebastian took a few of the little ones to Hogwarts early the next morning.
Fred's face was full of impatience. Ever since he heard the news at breakfast, he couldn't sit still.
"Professor, is there really such a magic mirror in the school? How come George and I have never seen it?"
You must know that since they first entered school, he and George's greatest passion has been exploring the castle, and the appearance of the Marauder's Map has made them even more powerful.
After two years, he and George had turned Hogwarts upside down, but they had never seen such a magical mirror.
A mirror that can reflect the desires of the heart!
It sounds so interesting.
"Yeah, Professor, you wouldn't be tricking us, would you? Fred and I have never seen an empty classroom with a mirror in it."
Hearing Fred's words, George echoed repeatedly, also feeling that such a classroom couldn't exist.
If there really was something so interesting, they should have discovered it long ago.
Percy walked at the back, looking at his noisy brothers with a helpless expression.
He suspected that the professor thought his brothers were too noisy, so he found an excuse to trick everyone back to Hogwarts.
Maybe they would find their luggage when they returned to the dormitory now.
Percy raised his head, looked at Sebastian's tall figure, and the smile on his lips, and a hint of hesitation arose in his heart.
Professor Swann shouldn't be so bored, right?
But, does a magic mirror that reflects people's inner desires really exist...?
If he looked into it, what would he see?
Perfect grades?
Student Council President?
Or a wealthy life?
Thinking of this, Percy quickened his pace a little. He also wanted to see what he desired most.
Before long, Sebastian led the little ones to the front of an inconspicuous classroom door.
If he remembered correctly, Dumbledore shouldn't have moved the Mirror of Erised yet.
He smiled at the little ones, then pushed open the door and walked in.
Inside was a long-abandoned room, with thick dust on the floor, and some old tables and chairs piled messily against the wall.
Against the back wall of the room stood a very impressive mirror—the Mirror of Erised.
This magic mirror was tall and ancient, with intricate patterns carved on its frame, as if recording hundreds of years of history.
Looking at this mirror, Sebastian thought of what Dumbledore had said in the original story.
This magic mirror is just an ordinary mirror in front of the happiest people in the world. These people can only see their current appearance when they stand in front of the mirror.
But, how many people are truly happy to the point of being desireless?
After all, people's hearts are always filled with various desires, and through the Mirror of Erised, people can see which is their most intense desire.
Sebastian always felt that if a person could clearly define their desires, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"This is so cool, George! This place is so close to the library, how come we never discovered it before?"
"Someone must have cast a spell on this room. It seems our exploration plan has to continue, Fred!"
Listening to the twins' loud exclamations, Sebastian looked at everything in the room with interest.
He had seen this magic mirror when he was still studying at Hogwarts. At that time, it was in the Room of Requirement, piled up with some sundries.
Now, because of the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore took it out and temporarily placed it in this classroom.
Suddenly, Sebastian's eyes lit up, and he discovered something interesting.
Among the tables and chairs in the corner, one chair looked particularly clean, without any dust. It looked like someone had been there and used it often.
Is it Dumbledore?
After all, he needs to improve this mirror so that he can hide the Philosopher's Stone in it, to deal with a greedy thief.
Sebastian was very curious, what could Dumbledore see in the mirror now?
Would he see Grindelwald, like when he was young, or would he see his sister Ariana?
Suddenly, Percy's words interrupted Sebastian's thoughts.
"Professor, what does this sentence mean?"
Percy stood on the side of the mirror, tilting his head and trying hard to read the string of ancient inscriptions on it, but he couldn't figure out what it meant no matter how he thought about it.
"Actually, it's very simple," Sebastian came to Percy's side, "Only by reading it backwards can you discover its true meaning."
"I show not your face but your heart's desire."
"Just like I said at breakfast, the person standing in front of the mirror will see their deepest dreams and desires."
"The scene it presents is exceptionally real, as if it is within reach, making many people obsessed and even driven mad."
"Why is that?" The little ones were a little puzzled. Hearing the professor's words, they always felt that this mirror was not a good thing.
"Because, people can see lost relatives, unfulfilled wishes, or unattainable dreams in the mirror."
Without waiting for the little ones to express any opinions, Sebastian continued.
"Of course, the magic of the mirror lies not only in the beautiful vision it displays, but also in making people realize what they truly desire deep in their hearts."
"Wealth? Power? Affection? Whatever it is, it can reflect the deepest things in your hearts."
"It is both a beautiful dream and a heavy reality. The person facing the mirror must learn to face their own heart."
Sebastian slowly took a breath, as if recalling some distant memories.
"When I was in school, I used it to help me determine what my goals really were."
"Remember, what appears in the mirror is not what is really happening. I just want you to face your own hearts and let you know what you care about most now."
Hearing this, the little ones couldn't help it any longer and scrambled to see the power of the magic mirror.
"I saw it, I became the Student Council President and the Quidditch team captain!"
Ron was the first to go up. After seeing the scene in the mirror, he realized that what he wanted most was to be famous.
The twins took turns going up and found that what they cared about most was invention and creation.
Percy also tried it and found that he had become the Minister of Magic in the mirror.
The brothers shared their experiences noisily, teasing each other's desires.
Finally, it was Harry's turn. He saw a completely unexpected scene in the magic mirror—his parents.
Harry was silent. He stared at his parents in the mirror, thinking to himself.
So, what I desire most is not to defeat Voldemort.
But to have a complete family......
