A day of learning magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 42 The Mirror of Erised

The next day, the expected big news that "Harry Potter was caught wandering at night in the Restricted Book Zone" did not appear.

Mr. Potter still appeared in the auditorium for breakfast, but he looked a little dazed (maybe he didn't have a good rest last night).

This moment made Ian very surprised, because he vaguely remembered that last night, he clearly saw Mr. Potter being cornered by Filch, Mrs. Norris and Snape, and finally had to break into a classroom next to the library. …

Could it be that he has some special ability that allows him to evade capture?This is not surprising. As a "savior", it is natural to have several special abilities.

Mr. Filch, on the other hand, looked very angry. When Ian was beside him on the roadside, he kept hearing him muttering to himself: "Damn it, Professor Snape and I clearly sensed someone in the Restricted Book Zone last night." , why didn’t I find anything!”

Of course, Ian didn't take this to heart.

After all, Harry Potter's matter has nothing to do with him, Ian Twisted.

After a day of library life, I returned to the dormitory in the evening and was about to read a book and go to bed——

Ian picked up the Marauder's Map again, wanting to see if the distant nephew named Tom Riddle had appeared in Professor Quirrell's office again.

However, there was an unexpected gain. He once again saw Harry Potter walking at night.

This time, next to the black dot of Harry Potter's name, there is also a name called "Ronald Weasley".

Ronald Weasley, this seems to be Harry Potter's red-haired friend who has always been by his side; remember, Mr. Potter always called him "Ron".

Good guy, are you addicted to night outing?Even if you go out alone at night, you still need to bring friends with you.Ian continued to look at the Marauder's Map.

Then, Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley stopped in front of a small room next to the library.

Then, both men got into the room.

Ian almost guessed some reasons:

Maybe Harry Potter found something interesting in that house; so he brought his friends with him the next day.

Interesting... Then I'll go and have a look tomorrow.

He thought about it and fell into sleep.

……

Of course, Ian Traister would not choose to travel at night.

You still have to respect things like school rules. After all, you are a student.

Of course, Ian felt that even if Mr. Filch caught him, he would be polite and would not imprison him.

He finished breakfast early on the third day and then walked to the cabin where Harry Potter stayed for two consecutive nights.

The hut was less than twenty yards from the library, and there was no "No Entry" sign on it.

In fact, Ian doesn't quite understand why Mr. Potter and his friends would take a certain risk to travel at night... This kind of place can be visited seriously in broad daylight; for the people of Hogwarts during the Christmas vacation Traffic, there is a high probability that no one will see you; even if they see you, you can say that you broke in accidentally.

Ian took out his wand and prepared to try his newly learned "lock-picking spell".

However, the door of the hut was not locked and opened with a slight push.

It looked like an abandoned classroom.Many tables and chairs were piled up and down against the wall, and there was also an upside-down wastepaper basket——

However, on the wall facing Ian, there was something placed that didn't seem to belong here, as if someone had put it here temporarily because there was no place to put it.

It was a very imposing mirror, reaching as high as the ceiling, in an ornate gold frame, and supported by two claw-shaped feet.

Is this mirror an unexpected discovery by Harry Potter?

It was also the driving force behind his two consecutive night tours...

He slowly approached the mirror, wanting to catch a glimpse of its secrets.But there was nothing in the mirror until I walked completely in front of it——

Ian was stunned.

In the mirror, Ian Twist no longer exists; instead, there are a dozen familiar oriental faces.

Ian saw himself before time travel, standing carefree in the center of the mirror.Behind him, there are a pair of middle-aged men and women holding hands, as well as a pair of gray-haired old people. They all showed kind smiles and looked at themselves; they were Ian's father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother before he traveled through time... …

Several of his best friends since childhood were putting their hands on his shoulders affectionately, as if to say "Long time no see"...

The usually unsmiling tutor was sitting on a chair with a smile on his face; several graduate students and junior fellow students, who were usually close friends, were squatting in front of the tutor and extending their hands to him; The senior sister who had graduated a long time ago was standing behind the instructor's chair, smiling and waving to him...

Ian lost his composure for a moment and looked at the warm scene in the mirror.

Could it be that everything is fake... time travel, magic, and Harry Potter are all just a dream.The reality is in the mirror, you are still...

Can I go back...?

Ian's hand gently touched the cold mirror.

He suddenly woke up.

He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. After a long time, he opened his eyes again.

He forced his eyes no longer to look at the "magic mirror" in front of him, but to look up at the line of words above it.

It is a series of incomprehensible symbols: "Erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi" (Erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi)! "

Eris, is this magic mirror's name?

How should these symbols be interpreted? Are they Latin?

Ian read it lightly and understood quickly.

No...it's English...it's just English written backwards.

Just turn this line upside down and you can understand its meaning:

"I show not your face but your hearts desire. (I show not your face but your hearts desire.)"

It turned out to be the case.

Ian suddenly realized that it was just his inner desire.

He finally understood why Harry Potter was attracted to this thing... As an adult, he almost fell into it; what's more, he was just a child.

However, the inner desire is just an illusion after all.

People, after all, have to return to reality.It would be too decadent to just wallow in illusion and waste time.

Look forward positively!

Ian squeezed the wand in his hand and took one last look at the familiar faces in the mirror.

"Goodbye!" he whispered.

Then, without looking back, he left the magic mirror and the small room.
