Retirement from Hogwarts

"Does this mean that the Black Dragon War in Arendelle was caused by you?!" In the library after the Christmas vacation, after hearing about Jack and Hermione's experiences during the Christmas vacation, Harry couldn't help but shout out Voice.

"Shh...shh." Jack glanced around the library, and after making sure no one noticed them, he whispered to Harry: "Do you want the entire Hogwarts to know? Now this This matter is top secret. It cannot be exposed on a large scale until it is completed in Arendelle. If it is exposed, everyone here, including Harry, will be subject to the Oblivion Curse."

"So serious?" Harry asked in surprise.

"It's much more serious than you think. There are too many sensitive people involved in this Black Dragon War. They are either legendary mages or legendary evil dragons. You just need to know this. If you tell it, you will really be cursed with forgetfulness." ." Jack explained. "How was your research in the library during the holidays? Did you find any information on Nico Flamel?"

"No, I searched the entire library and couldn't find any information about him. I really doubt whether there is such a person in the world." Harry said frustratedly.

"Although I didn't find any news about Nico Flamel this holiday season, I found something good around the library. He allows you to see your family."

"Family?" Jack asked curiously.

"There's no time to explain, come with me." After saying that, Harry took Jack and Hermione out of the library and started stumbling around inside the castle.After almost 5 minutes, they arrived at the door of a small, secret classroom.Harry looked around, and after making sure there was no one else around, he opened the classroom door first and walked in.After making sure there was no one else in the classroom, he ran out and pulled Jack and Hermione inside.

This is an abandoned classroom.A large number of tables, chairs and cleaning tools were piled haphazardly against the wall.Under the moonlight outside the window, large groups of dark shadows appeared on the wall.However, in the center of the room, a mirror that obviously did not belong here was placed there, as if someone had put it here temporarily because there was no place to put it.

This is a very majestic mirror, reaching to the ceiling, with a gorgeous golden frame, supported by two claw-shaped feet.A line of words was engraved on the frame of the mirror: Eristrae Heluait Ubika Fruait on Voges.

"What I show is not your face, but the desire in your heart." Hermione read in a low voice while looking at the words on the frame.

"This is the Mirror of Erised. I didn't expect Hogwarts to have such a thing." Hermione said to Jack and Harry with a look of surprise.

"Mirror of Erised? What's the use of it?" Harry asked Jack with a confused look on his face.

"The Mirror of Erised is one of the nine mirrors in the universe. It has the power to see through people's hearts. It can reveal the most urgent desires in everyone's heart. No matter who it is, there is no hiding from him. Of course. , because it is very famous, there are many imitations of it," Jack explained.

"Does that mean it doesn't show the future?" Harry asked disappointedly.

"Yes, he can't show the future." Hermione said firmly to Harry who looked disappointed. "As for why Harry can see your family inside, I'm afraid it's because Harry what you desire most is the care of your family, so what you see inside are your parents."

"Do you hope to resurrect your family, Harry? Or do you simply want to foresee the future?" Looking at the disappointed Harry, Jack couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but point him to a clear path. "If it's the former, you can go find the legendary Mirror of Reincarnation. The person who hands the Mirror of Reincarnation to Hades can make any request to him. For Hades, resurrecting a mortal couple is a very simple matter. . If you want to be a prophet who can foresee the future, you can go to the Kunlun Mirror, one of the nine magic mirrors. Predicting the future is completely childish for the Kunlun Mirror."

"Reincarnation mirror?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Don't listen to Jack's nonsense about Harry. Although the legend about the Mirror of Reincarnation that Jack told is true, the real Mirror of Reincarnation has disappeared for tens of thousands of years. The universe is so big that you can't even find it even if you want to. Maybe. He has returned to Hades a long time ago." Seeing the light of hope in Harry's eyes, Hermione glared at Jack with dissatisfaction, and then poured cold water on Harry.

"How will you know if you don't try this kind of thing." Harry raised his head firmly.Then he curiously asked Jack: "Since the Kunlun Mirror and the Mirror of Erised are both one of the nine magic mirrors, then the Mirror of Erised is known as one of the nine magic mirrors of the universe, so its role must be more than that, right? "

"The battle between wizards is the battle of mind reading. Have you heard this sentence? As long as you can become the master of the Mirror of Erised, as long as you don't risk your life to challenge those who can crush you into scum with just one spell. , you are invincible."

"He can read your mind for you?" Harry exclaimed.

"The job of the mind-reading magic mirror is to read minds. Otherwise, what are you going to ask it to do? Of course, it also has some other small functions, such as storage." Jack shrugged.

"What's wrong with it now?" Hermione asked, pulling on Jack's sleeve and pointing to the mirror.

"It's just the aunt here." Jack ignored it

The Deathwing in the mirror, which made the whole room glow red, calmly walked around to the mirror.But the Deathwing in the mirror did not disappear with his departure, but instead made the surrounding flames burn even more intensely.

"It is inevitable that these magic items will have some convulsions. In this case, the best way is to ignore them." Jack shrugged. "Hermione, come and look after it too. See what you can see."

"Is he going to have another problem?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"No, there are always only a few images that can be seen by others."

"Then you are not allowed to peek."

"Don't worry, I won't look." After saying that, Jack walked to the side of the mirror and stood with his back to Hermione.

Hermione stood in front of the mirror for a while, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.She quietly glanced at Jack next to the mirror, and stamped her foot fiercely as if she was going to crush someone.Jack turned his head innocently when he heard the movement behind him, and blinked at Hermione for no apparent reason.

"Pah."

The sound of the door opening woke up the three people in the classroom.

"So - you're here again, Harry?"

Harry, who was giving Jack a wink, felt that his internal organs were suddenly frozen into ice.He looked behind him.The person who walked through the door was none other than Albus Dumbledore.

"Ah - you brought guests today." Dumbledore looked at Jack and Hermione in surprise and said to Harry.

Harry turned his head with difficulty and gave Dumbledore an ugly smile.When he saw the smile on Dumbledore's face, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"So," Dumbledore said, walking in from the door and standing next to the three of them. "You, like hundreds of others before you, have discovered the joys of the Mirror of Erised."

"Yes...Yes sir." Harry said a little nervously. "I didn't know it was called that, sir."

"But I assume you know its magic by now?"

"It - oh - makes me see my family -"

"Also allows your friend Neville to see himself becoming an Auror like his parents."

"how do you know--"

"I don't have to have an invisibility cloak to be invisible." Dumbledore said gently, "So, can you think about what the Mirror of Erised made us all see?"

"He shows us what our hearts desire most," Harry replied.

"Great Harry, I didn't expect you to have discovered the secret of this mirror."

"It wasn't me, Hermione found out." Harry explained to Dumbledore.

"I haven't seen such a smart student for a long time. She really deserves to be the know-it-all lady of Ravenclaw. Ten points from Ravenclaw."

Hermione blushed at Dumbledore's praise.

"It's nothing special, Professor. I just read more books."

"You can't say that. Being able to combine books with reality is an amazing talent." Dumbledore said to Hermione. "You know, this mirror has fascinated countless geniuses over the years, making them obsessed with what they saw, and even driven crazy by it. Haven't they read about this mirror in a book? ? No, they must have seen it, but they had difficulty combining the records they saw with the mirror in front of them. In the end, they became slaves indulging in the beautiful illusion of the mirror."

"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, it's getting late, if you stay in the main castle any longer, I may have to send you to Filch."

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Jack and the other three had no choice but to walk towards the door.

"Sir - Professor Dumbledore? Can I ask you a question?" When Harry was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and asked Professor Dumbledore.

"It goes without saying that you did just that." Dumbledore smiled. "However, you can ask me one more question."

"What did you see when you looked in the magic mirror?"

"Me? I saw myself holding a pair of thick wool socks."

"There are never enough socks," said Dumbledore. "Christmas has come and gone, and I haven't received a pair. People insist on sending me books."

Harry opened his eyes wide and left in confusion.

When Jack and Hermione also reached the door, Dumbledore spoke again.

"Well done in Arendelle, Mr. Jack." After saying that, he winked at the surprised Jack.
