Hogwarts Scholar System

During the Christmas vacation, Harry and Ron were so happy that they forgot all about Nicolas Flamel. In this case, Maple would not feel guilty for delaying telling them the news of Nicolas Flamel.

Harry and Ron gathered around the fire and used the common room as a barbecue stall, grilling bread, dough, mushrooms and eating them.It's a pity that I didn't know how to add cumin and chili pepper to the oil.

Then Harry and Ron played wizard chess together. No, it was Ron who abused Harry unilaterally, and these moving and talking chess pieces kept accusing Harry, which made his head spin. Harry's interest in Wizard Chess instantly dropped to a freezing point.After having sex with Ron the day before, Harry stopped touching them the next day.

"Merry Christmas!" Harry and Ron both received Christmas presents the next day, and they both opened them happily.

Harry received Hagrid's flute, fifty pence from his aunt and uncle, and a sweater from Ron's mother.Ron also received a sweater, but the color of the sweater was dark purple, which he didn't like very much, while Harry's was bright green, which made Ron couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.

Next is——

"Maple's! He" When he opened the gift, Harry was immediately stunned on the spot. Although he had lost his parents since he was a child, Harry still recognized them as his parents at a glance.A family photo of his parents and his grown-up self together, and for a moment, Harry felt warm in his heart.

"Ah, Maple also gave me a gift, my God!" Ron was as moved as Harry when he saw Ollivander's note from Maple to him.

"By the way, Harry," Ron suddenly turned to look at Harry and asked, "Have you prepared a gift for Maple?"

"No, what about you?" Harry was a little embarrassed. Maple carefully prepared a gift for him, but he had nothing, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Me too, I even forgot to ask my mother to knit him a sweater. He seems to be an orphan too!" For a while, both of them were silent.

There was only one gift bag left in Harry's gift. Harry picked it up and touched it. It was very light.

After opening the gift, something liquid-like and silver-gray slid down to the floor, gathering into a shiny pile.

"I've heard of this," Ron gasped and said in a low voice, tossing aside the box of strange-flavored beans Hermione had given him. "If I think right, this thing is very rare and very valuable."

"Invisibility cloak! Try it on."

Harry put on the invisibility cloak, and then only his head was left. His body completely disappeared, and even his shadow disappeared in the mirror.

"There's a note!" said Ron suddenly. "A note fell out of it!"

Harry took off his invisibility cloak and saw on the unsigned note——

Your father left this to me before he died.It should be returned to you now.Use it well.I sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas.

Harry stared at the note in a daze, while Ron marveled at the invisibility cloak. "If I can get such a thing, I don't want anything!"

Yes, even if all the assets of the Malfoy family were added up, they would not be as valuable as Harry's.This is the invisibility cloak inherited from the third of the three Death brothers in Peverell. You can’t buy this thing with the money you earned from working for ten lifetimes.

After Snape received Maple's gift, he was stunned.His empty eyes that seemed to have no trace of emotion immediately caused violent disturbances. With tears in his eyes, Snape read the information on cloning technology given by Maple over and over again.I just stayed in the office all day, not even attending the Christmas party.

There never seems to be a shortage of food at Hogwarts. Even at the Christmas banquet with not many people, there were a hundred fat roast turkeys, mountains of roasted meats and boiled potatoes, large plates of delicious little sausages, and a lot of delicious sausages. Bowls of buttered peas, dishes of rich, thick gravy and lingonberry sauce.

Then Harry played with the wizard's colorful firecrackers. With the addition of magical power, these firecrackers made the roar of bomb explosions, but they only emitted colorful smoke and did not hurt anyone.

Moreover, there were actually living creatures popping up inside, and Harry got a few white mice, but it was unclear whether these mice were the result of the transfiguration spell or real mice.

After the Christmas party, we spent the afternoon playing wildly with the Weasley brothers.

"The Upside Down Golden Bell!"

"Armor for protection!" Taking advantage of this holiday, the Weasley brothers wanted to violate the ban and have fun. Unfortunately, Harry was prepared and learned Maple's Iron Armor Charm, which greatly disappointed the Weasley brothers.All we can do is have snowball fights.

Harry tried out the new chess pieces he got from the wizard's firecracker, but still lost miserably to Ron.It seemed that he would never be able to regain his position in his life, so Harry completely gave up on trying to play wizard chess in front of Ron.

The invisibility cloak was undoubtedly a great temptation for the little wizard who was new to magic. Harry tossed and turned at night and couldn't fall asleep. In the end, he couldn't help but put it on and went out from Gryffindor to wander around the campus.

Invisible to everyone, he can go anywhere on campus, including places where students are prohibited from entering and exiting, and even the restricted area of ​​the library.

After playing like crazy for a few days, it was only then that Harry remembered Nicolas Flamel, and then he impulsively, no, it should be more impulsive, wore an invisibility cloak and went to the restricted section of the library to look for Nicolas Flamel.

Unfortunately, the book Harry opened for the first time turned out to be a talking book.After he got it, the book itself let out a shrill scream, which was particularly penetrating in this black night.

Harry stumbled back a few steps, and the lamp fell to the ground and went out.Harry immediately put the book back on the shelf and ran away.

Harry almost passed by Filch, but Harry was wearing the invisibility cloak and Filch couldn't see anything.Harry slipped under Filch's outstretched arms and bolted down the corridor, the scream of the book still ringing in his ears.

Harry suddenly stopped in front of a tall suit of armor. Even though he couldn't see Harry, Filch still chased after him, probably following the sound.

"Professor, you said that if someone is wandering around at night, I will report to you immediately. Someone was in the library just now, in the restricted area."

Because of Maple, Snape was not in the mood to come on night watch and skipped work directly.But Harry's situation was still not good, because the voice he heard answering Filch turned out to be Professor McGonagall.

Harry didn't know which was worse, being caught by her hands or being caught by Snape.

"Restricted Book Zone? Then he can't go far, we will definitely catch him."

Judging from Professor McGonagall's tone, she seemed to think of herself as some kind of infiltrated thief.

The invisibility cloak can only make Harry invisible, but it cannot make Harry's physical body disappear.Of course, even if the cloak of death had such a powerful ability, Harry couldn't use it.Harry stepped back carefully, trying not to make a sound, and carefully squeezed through the door behind him.

Thank God, he was not caught.

After the footsteps of Professor McGonagall and Filch disappeared into the darkness, Harry began to look at the situation in the room where he was hiding.

Then he discovered the Mirror of Erised here, a very majestic mirror that reached the ceiling, with a gorgeous golden frame, supported by two claw-shaped feet underneath.There is a line of words engraved on the top: erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi.Read it backwards and it means "I show not your face but your heart's desire", which means "I show not your face but your desire."

Because of the gift from Maple, Harry quickly recognized his parents, followed by probably his grandfather and other family members.

They all looked at him and smiled kindly.Harry slowly looked at the other faces in the mirror one by one, and found that they all had the same green eyes and noses as him, and a little old man even had the same uneven 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, pressing his hands against the mirror glass as if he wished he could swoop in and be with them.He felt a sharp pain in his heart, half from joy, half from deep sorrow.

How long he stood there, he did not know.The image in the mirror never faded away. He looked and looked and couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't until some sounds from a distance made him regain his senses.He couldn't stay here, he had to go back to sleep.He reluctantly looked away from his mother's face, whispered, "I'll come again," and hurriedly left the room.

The next day, Harry took Ron to the mirror again. Harry once again walked in front of the mirror and looked at his family obsessively. Compared with Maple's porcelain statue, what was in the mirror was more real and fascinating.

Then Ron also saw the glorious side of himself in the mirror, and became the student union president and Quidditch captain.The two then childishly fight over the right to see the Mirror of Erised.Then just like last time, there was another sound in the corridor, which seemed to remind them that it was time to go back to sleep.

On the third day, Harry came to the mirror again.Dumbledore could only sigh helplessly and appeared in front of Harry.Professor Dumbledore, who has the same tragic past and is obsessed with the Mirror of Erised, can undoubtedly understand Harry's mood, but Harry cannot continue to be so obsessed.

Dumbledore had a good-natured chat with Harry, something he seemed to have wanted to do for a long time.After sharing his experience of looking at the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore told Harry the truth about the Mirror of Erised——

"It allows us to see only our deepest, deepest desires. You never see your family, so you see them standing around you. Ron Weasley has always been there for him. dwarfed by his two brothers, so he saw himself standing alone, the best of them all.

However, this mirror can neither teach us nor tell us the truth.People waste time in front of it, obsessed with what they see, and even driven crazy because they don't know whether what they see in the mirror is real and possible. "

"The mirror will be moved to a new place tomorrow. Harry, I ask you not to look for it again. If you happen to see it one day, you must be mentally prepared. Indulge in illusory dreams and forget about reality. Life is useless, remember that. Well; why not put on that marvelous cloak of invisibility and go back to sleep?"
