Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

Chapter 20 Betting with the Twins

"I'm sorry, Wood, Draco has a little temper, but he's not a bad person."

Wood didn't want to talk about Draco.

"It's okay, I understand. I came here just to thank you for your Christmas gift. I like it very much."

Ling Bai gave Wood a new broom. Wood carefully discovered that his name was engraved on the broom. The engraved font was not very good, and it was obviously engraved by a novice.

“Did you carve the words on it yourself?”

The first thing Wood thought of was that it must have been carved by Ling Bai himself. When he thought of this, an inexplicable emotion spread from Wood's heart.

"As long as you like it, this is my first time carving, so the words are not very beautiful."

"No, no, no, I think it looks great. Compared to this, I think the gift I gave is really not good enough."

"It's okay, I like your gift too."

"You can call me Oliver if you want. I just think we are friends, and Wood will not seem strange."

"That's great Oliver, I'm glad you consider me a friend"

Oliver clutched his robe shyly.

"If you are interested, you are always welcome to watch my training and games, and you can ask me about anything related to Quidditch."

"Of course I will."

Seeing that Wood stopped talking, Ling Bai spoke.

"Then I'll go first, Oliver. I'm a little hungry after driving all day."

"Okay, okay, bye."

Wood stood there and watched Ling Bai leave, unable to turn around for a long time.

Before Ling Bai stepped into the church, someone patted his shoulders on the left and right.

Ling Bai turned around and saw two furry red heads approaching.

"Hi, Slytherin friends"

The Weasley twins.

"Hello, Fred and George"

"Oh dear little friend, thank you for your Christmas gift"

"We are truly honored. By the way, Percy asked us to thank you for your gift on his behalf, as he was too embarrassed to come himself."

Fred and George spoke one by one, their tone exaggerated as if they were coaxing a child.

"Okay, I hope you like the gift I gave you."

"Of course I like it, but it seems like we haven't met each other many times, so why would you give us a gift?"

"Harry and I are good friends, and Harry and Ron are good friends"

"Then we still benefit from our brother's help."

"That's so sad, I thought you had been keeping an eye on us for a long time."

"Hey George, you are so shameless"

The two brothers were laughing and playing.

"Of course, I hope to become friends with you all."

"I say, you really are not Slytherin at all"

Fred put his hand on Ling Bai's shoulder.

"But there is a mission to become our friend."

"No one has been able to complete this task so far. If you can complete it, we will reluctantly agree to let you join our team."

"Okay, tell me about it."

"Guess who's Fred and who's George"

"In case you are lucky enough to guess correctly, you have to win two out of three games."

Ling Bai gladly accepted the task from the two.

"It's settled then, kid, see you next time."

"Bye."

Looking at the twins' leaving backs, Ling Bai lowered his eyes slightly.

The final outcome was that no one could tell the two apart anymore.

Ling Bai restrained his expression and went to find Draco.

The twins returned to their seats and Percy came over.

"How is it? I see you guys are having a nice chat."

"Of course, is there anything we can't do?"

"So, did you mention me to him?"

Fred and George looked at each other.

"Percy, you're really weird."

"That's right, Percy."

Percy pursed his lips.

"What do you know?"

Percy looked at the young boy across the crowd.

Fred and George spread their hands at the same time and shook their heads helplessly.

At night, looking at the sleeping Draco, Ling Bai quietly left the dormitory and came to the second-floor corridor as agreed with Harry.

"Ling Bai"

As soon as Ling Bai arrived at the place, he heard someone calling him, but he didn't see anyone.

Just when he was looking around in confusion, Harry suddenly appeared in front of Ling Bai.

"Harry, you..."

"look"

Harry held up the black cloak in his hands.

"what is this?"

"Invisibility cloak, put it on and no one can see us, let's go"

Harry wrapped the clothes around the two of them and walked towards the place Harry said.

After passing through a long and gloomy corridor and turning several corners, we arrived at an abandoned attic.

"Ling Bai, look"

Ling Bai looked at the mirror in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Mirror? What's so good about it?"

"This is not an ordinary mirror, Ling Bai, look, I'm standing in front of the mirror, I, I see my parents, and you"

Harry's gaze fell into the mirror, his eyes full of sadness and longing.

"I saw you and I running on the grass, we had a picnic together, and we played together. We were very happy. I also saw my parents, and they were smiling at me."

"Harry, that's all fake."

Ling Bai put his hands on Harry's shoulders and a tear fell on the back of his hands.

Harry cried.

"I know, how could I not know, but, but I can't help it, I still want to look at them more, even if they just smile at me and do nothing, but I still want to see them"

Ling Bai's gaze fell on the mirror.

He was stunned for just a moment, and his figure was reflected in the mirror, or to be more precise, his prototype.

The silver fox is completely snow-white, with only a small red flame mark between its eyebrows.

At this moment, he was lying on a pair of legs. The man's face could not be seen clearly, but he was just stroking him from time to time.

There was a hint of solemnity in Ling Bai's eyes, but at this moment there was another person besides Harry and him, so he couldn't reveal his identity.

"Harry, it's not clear if this mirror has any harm, you can't dwell on it"

"Look what I found, two lost little lambs"

Ling Bai and Harry were both startled by the sudden sound. They turned around immediately and saw Dumbledore appearing behind them at some point.

Harry wiped his tears quickly.

"Don't be nervous, kids. It seems you have discovered the wonders of the Mirror of Erised. You should already know its functions. Let me give you a hint. The happiest person in the world can only see himself when he looks in the mirror."

“It will reflect what we want, whatever that is.”

Harry looked back at the mirror.

"Yes and no. It allows people to see their deepest and most urgent desires."

"That's why I can see my parents and Ling Bai"

Dumbledore looked at the two pairs of extremely similar eyes in front of him and sighed silently in his heart.

"But this mirror neither reflects the truth nor conveys knowledge. People waste their time in front of it and are even driven crazy. Therefore, this mirror will be moved to a new place tomorrow. Please do not look for it anymore."
