[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 149 The Mirror of Erised

"It's very convenient. It can easily make Mr. Harry Potter violate the school rules." Snape sneered at Jody's words. "Obviously we haven't had enough education over the years to teach James Potter's son what it means to behave."

Dumbledore gave Harry the Invisibility Cloak as a gift last night, but Harry used that Invisibility Cloak to go out for a night tour tonight.Although Harry immediately hid in a hurry when he heard Snape's footsteps, that obviously didn't satisfy Snape.

"Dumbledore does know children better than we do, or rather, Gryffindor." Jody also felt a little discouraged.She always thought that Harry was better than James when he was a child, but now she realized that half of Harry's obedience in front of her came from his love for her and Snape, and the other half was a rather Slytherin style. camouflage.

—maybe she should take comfort in that, because that seemed to be something of exactly what Jody displayed as a child.

"Gryffindor!" Snape muttered in a low voice, walked to the door of that classroom, and gently pushed the door open.Jody walked into the abandoned classroom with him in a tacit understanding.

Like Harry just now, they walked slowly to the mirror.Although they clearly understand the nature of this mirror, they still want to try to see what they can see in this mirror.

"This is the Mirror of Erised... Severus, what do you think Harry will see in this mirror?" Jody whispered.She stared into the magic mirror and saw Snape holding out his hand beside her.

Jody accurately grasped Snape's hand, which made the corners of his mouth twitch slightly: "Do you think I can figure out what kind of crazy thoughts are in the mind of an 11-year-old boy?"

"Severus," Jody looked at Snape's disdainful expression in the mirror, and couldn't help laughing, "You were once an 11-year-old boy. Back then you..."

"I thought maybe... then I could see the same scene as I do now." Snape interrupted Jody.He was afraid that she would bring up the subject that made him nervous.Jody didn't talk much about his former crush on Lily, but the subject had always made him nervous since they were students.

However, in these years, he had enough time to calmly recall everything that happened in the past, including those emotions and details that he had ignored when he was a child.He didn't deny that he had been attracted to Lily, but he definitely had a change of heart and fell in love with Jody sooner than he had thought. "I think I fell for you sooner than I thought, Joe."

"Severus." Jody narrowed his eyes and smiled happily, "I'm glad to hear that."

That wasn't what she meant to say, but she didn't deny that she had been in a great mood when Snape said it.It seems that her frankness made a good start between them that day.

"I'm glad we got to see this." Jody stared at Snape in the mirror.

Snape was also staring at Jody in the mirror. "Me too."

"We can't be obsessed with this mirror that means nothing to us." Jody tightened his fingers around Snape, feeling the warmth of his palm. "But I'm afraid Harry can't do that yet."

"That kid will definitely come again." Snape nodded sullenly.

Although Jody and Snape didn't know what Harry saw in the mirror, as they expected, Harry ran to see this magical mirror one after another for the next few nights. At that time, he brought Ron.

Ron wasn't happy that Harry quietly left him to try on the Invisibility Cloak that first night.But when Harry told him about the magical mirror, he soon lost his temper.The invisibility cloak was big enough to cover two little wizards who were only 11 years old together.

They searched for a while in the hallway, both of them were terribly cold, and just as Ron was about to take Harry back to sleep, they finally found the empty classroom.

Like Harry, Ron was immediately attracted by this magical mirror, and he looked fascinated by himself in the mirror as the Quidditch captain and the head of the Boys' Union.But Harry still wanted to see what he saw yesterday. The two of them were arguing so loudly that they even disturbed Filch's precious cat, and they had to run away in a hurry.

During the rest of the day, Harry was in no mood to do anything else.All he could think of was that night would come soon, so he could look at the mirror again.Ron even tried to persuade Harry many times like Hermione, thinking that it was too dangerous and the mirror was too weird, but obviously it didn't work.Harry didn't seem to be listening at all.

Jody seemed very worried about such a Harry, after all, Harry's abnormality was more serious than she had expected before.As Professor Bubbaji, she offered to invite Ron and Harry to her office for tea.The effect of doing so is minimal, but it's better than doing nothing.With Jody's current status, there is no way to fundamentally understand Harry, which seems to make her feel extremely embarrassed.

"I really don't understand why you want Harry to look in that damn mirror." Jody was obviously not the only one worried about Harry's situation.Snape ran to Dumbledore's office to protest angrily. "There are many, even grown-up wizards, who can't resist the Mirror of Erised, and Harry Potter is just a kid right now."

"I think Harry can figure it out." Dumbledore said calmly. "The Mirror of Erised can teach Harry a very important lesson, and it is also the most important part of the test of the Philosopher's Stone. He always needs to understand what is most important to him, and what he should grasp I believe that only after such a test, one day, he will become the happiest person in the world."

"You promise?" Snape took a deep breath.

"I promise."

Dumbledore watched Snape leave his office, stroked his long white beard, and a glimmer of light flashed through the half-moon-shaped lenses.He has seen everything about Harry recently, and he thought, this time he should go and have a chat with Harry himself.

However, when Dumbledore stood in the empty classroom and watched Harry walk in quietly wearing the Invisibility Cloak.He suddenly found that his previous judgment seemed inaccurate.

When Harry entered the classroom, he was not as eager as Dumbledore expected to rush to the Mirror of Erised.He still approached the mirror lightly, then sat down in front of the mirror, squinting his eyes and staring at everything in the mirror, he wanted to watch this scene for a while, until he heard a voice: "Harry, you are here again ?”

Harry felt his heart sink heavily, he turned his head a little stiffly, and saw Dumbledore sitting on the table by the wall, looking at him with a smile. "Professor Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore stood up and walked over to Harry. "It's a fascinating mirror."

"Yes." Harry also stood up and lowered his head in front of the old wizard. "I……"

"Relax, Harry." Dumbledore's tone made Harry feel much more relaxed. "I think, you must know the magic of this mirror?"

"Yes, Ron thinks that what appears in the mirror may be a foretelling of the future..." Harry's voice was soft and slow, "but that's impossible, I saw my father and mother, but they are no longer there. "

"Then what do you think the mirror lets us see?"

Harry hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Our...wish?"

He'd always known that Ron wanted to be better than his brothers, so the answer was easy to guess from what they'd seen in the mirror.

There was an encouraging smile on Dumbledore's face: "Yes, a very close answer. You know, the happiest people in the world can use it as an ordinary mirror. To be precise, the mirror will let us see To our deepest longings, even if we don't realize it."

"I want my family to be by my side, and I would like to have a few brothers and sisters like Ron..." Harry turned his head and glanced at the Mirror of Erised behind him, suddenly realizing. "So I saw my dad, my mom, and..."

And the babies in their mother's and aunt's arms, who had grown quite a bit from what Harry saw in the mirror today.

"I'm sorry, Harry." Harry's words made Dumbledore's expression a little sad. "I know your father and mother, they are very brave people."

"Yes, I know, they are the ones who fight against... the mysterious man."

"Oh, Harry, it's all right. I've always thought that if we were afraid of his name we couldn't have the courage to stand up to him," said Dumbledore.

"Yes, Professor, Voldemort." Harry hadn't said the word Voldemort in front of others for a long time, as everyone around him was afraid of the name Voldemort, and he felt comfortable doing so now. "I knew early on that if I stared at the mirror all day, my father and mother who were killed by Voldemort would not come back, and what I saw in the mirror would not become reality... I just want to see it again ...I can't help it..."

Dumbledore smiled at Harry's thought. "Harry, you've grown up better than I thought. I'm glad you understand that. I understand how you feel. There are many grown-up wizards who cannot resist the temptation of the Mirror of Erised. This mirror To enchant the weak-willed, to immerse them in fantasies—you are more lucid than many grown-up wizards in that regard."

Dumbledore's candid compliment made Harry blush.He was glad it was dark enough here now.

"Nevertheless," but Dumbledore didn't just want to compliment Harry. "I think you also understand that you shouldn't waste your life and energy in front of this mirror. It can't fulfill your dreams, and it can't help you achieve your wishes. It will only let you waste your time and indulge in illusions. And forget about reality. Harry, this mirror will be moved to another place tomorrow. I hope you will not go looking for it again. If one day, when you see it again, I also hope that you have the same mentality. Get ready, know what's real and what's not, what's really precious to you—well, Harry, it's getting late, why don't you put on your magical invisibility cloak and go back to bed?"

Walking past Professor Dumbledore, Harry suddenly wanted to ask Professor Dumbledore what he saw in the mirror, and he did.But until the start of school, he didn't understand why Professor Dumbledore would see him holding thick wool socks?Is Professor Dumbledore's answer true?

The Christmas vacation is over soon, and Hermione is back.She was worried about Harry's adventures these days, and disappointed that they hadn't been able to find out who Nico Flamel was.

Harry hadn't completely forgotten what he saw in the mirror, and he always wanted to see more.In order to forget these things, Harry chose to devote himself desperately to studying and Quidditch training, so that he would exhaust himself physically and mentally, and he would no longer have extra energy to think about it.

However, the always pleasant Quidditch training also had more troubles for Harry.

"Next time we have Snape as referee, we have to play double!" Wood said loudly during a Quidditch practice.

"When did he ever serve as a Quidditch referee?!" George Weasley couldn't help shouting: "He will definitely be biased."

"Yeah, yeah." Wood said irritably. "He must have done it because we beat Slytherin last time, and he won't do justice this time. We'll just have to be careful not to let him get caught. Especially Harry—"

Harry, whose name was suddenly called, couldn't help but froze for a moment.
