[HP] This Evil

Catherine's astronomy has always been poor. She can't connect a few stars that are far apart in the night sky to form a constellation. They are all hanging alone in the night sky and can't move. Why must they be connected? together.Catherine is not the only one who can't understand the stars. There are many students in every college who find it difficult to study astronomy. Professor Sinisla, who teaches this course, seems to have discovered this problem, so she decides to give it again every Wednesday night. Students add an extra class to ensure they pass the exam and move on to the second grade.

"If she is really worried that we will fail the exam, why can't she make the exam easier?" the students complained.

Professor Sinisla's original intention was naturally good, but she gathered the first-year students from the four colleges on the same night during the extra class, and everyone was noisy, running around on the astronomy tower, pushing and shoving Hush, Neville Longbottom of Gryffindor almost fell off the top of the tower, and there were not enough astronomical telescopes, so four or five people had to share one.

"Look, that's me, Draco, and I can see it all year round." Draco pointed to the stars in the sky and said to the people around him. He used the astronomical telescope, but he didn't use it, he just held it in his hand.

"Very beautiful, I think Draco is the most beautiful constellation." Pansy said, but she was not looking at the night sky but at Draco.

"You're right, Pansy, it's beautiful, and it's mine," Draco continued.

Catherine stared at the starry sky for a long time until her neck was sore, but she didn't understand which one was Draco. Professor Sinisra's lecture was dry, and Catherine was dizzy after listening to the lecture.Except for most of the Ravenclaw students who were listening to the class carefully, Hermione Granger was basically the only one who was still staring at Professor Sinisra intently.

After finally getting out of class, everyone rushed to their respective lounges, everyone wanted to get back to the warm bed and sleep, but Draco obviously didn't think so, he stopped and was about to go to the cellar Catherine, "Don't go, I'll show you something good."

Catherine followed him into a large empty room with nothing in it except a mirror. "This is it," Draco said, "Look." He pushed Catherine toward the mirror.Push Catherine in front of the mirror.But there was nothing in the mirror, including Catherine herself and Draco standing beside her. The two of them should have appeared in the mirror, shouldn't they?But there was nothing, just emptiness and darkness.

"Is this mirror broken?" Catherine asked.

"Of course not, how could I show you a broken mirror at night." Draco said, he was a little puzzled, "I think this is a mirror that can predict the future. I saw Filch secretly put it on the other day. Sent here from the first floor. I saw that I became the head of Malfoy like my father, and there were many people who admired me. What did you see?"

"A mirror that predicts the future? Is there such a thing? But I can't see anything." Catherine said, if this mirror is really used to predict the future, why can't she see anything? Does she have no future?

"How is it possible?" Draco was even more surprised, and he pushed Catherine towards the mirror again, "Look carefully."

Four people appeared in the mirror this time: father, mother, sister Cecilia and Catherine herself, but both Cecilia and herself looked younger than they are now.

The father in the mirror was sitting at the head of the table. He turned his head and said something to Catherine who was sitting on his left. Feeling the warmth of that big hand, the mother, wearing a pair of yellow oven mitts, was bringing out a delicious roast chicken from the kitchen. Cecilia followed her mother, holding a jug of freshly squeezed pumpkin juice. It must be Christmas, because everyone is wearing a red Christmas hat on their heads.

"What the hell is this?" Catherine asked, distraught, clearly not a mirror that predicted the future.

"Mirror that predicts the future," Draco said. "What do you see?"

"I saw... I saw that I became a female prefect in Slytherin, like Miss Gemma." Catherine made up a lie, but even she didn't know why she was lying.

"That's great, I think I'll be the prefect of Slytherin boys too." Draco said, he rarely cared about the feelings of the people around him, especially when he was happy, not to mention that the classroom was so dark , even if he observed carefully, it was difficult to see the expression on Catherine's face.

Catherine followed Draco to the cellar in a trance, her mind was full of the scene in the mirror just now, she didn't want to go back to the dormitory, she wanted to go back to the mirror, and watch their family eating together for a while .After returning to the dormitory, Catherine looked through "Hogwarts, a School History" several times, but couldn't find any information about the mirror. At noon the next day, she went to the library to search for several hours. Didn't go up, but still got nothing.In the evening, she came to that classroom again, and the mirror still showed the scene of a family celebrating Christmas together.How long has it been since the Ferraras have spent Christmas together?Probably at least seven years.Cecilia went home for the Christmas holiday one year, only to find that her parents were still in the study during dinner time and told them not to interrupt their experiments even if Merlin visited. After receiving treatment in St. Mungo's, Cecilia returned home happily, and dragged the senior students to Hogsmeade Village to buy beauty potions for her mother, Fire Whiskey from the Pig's Head Bar for her father, and Honeydukes for her sister. But none of these three gifts were sent out, and she never went home for the holidays, and Catherine couldn’t remember the days before that, she was so young that Christmas that year When her sister went to visit her in St. Mungo's in the middle of the night, she had fallen asleep early.

The parents didn't care about Cecilia's refusal to go home for the holidays. In fact, they preferred to spend the holidays with the study, and research and experiments were their family.

Catherine got a little closer to the mirror. She stretched out her hand and touched her mother's face. Her hands felt the unique coldness of a mirror. She squatted down slowly and put her head under the hands of her father in the mirror, hoping that her father could touch her own face. hair, but she felt nothing.For three consecutive days, Catherine went to this classroom every night to look at the mirror. Sometimes she sat by the mirror and pretended to be talking to her mother. Sometimes she brought a glass of pumpkin juice to eat with them. More often she Just staring at the mirror in a daze.Until the fourth day, when she was staring at the figures in the mirror again, she was interrupted by a meow.

"Another disobedient brat!" Filch's disgusting voice sounded, "I just put this damn mirror here a few days ago, and it was discovered by you again! Go away, go back to your dormitory. Don't Waste your time here, you'll never get what's in the mirror." After finishing speaking, he tried very hard to cover the mirror with a black cloth, but failed, and then he was about to push it away like this.

"What the hell is this?" asked Catherine, who was still cold in April.

"It's the Mirror of Erised, you bastard. It can reflect the deepest desires in people's hearts, but," Filch sneered, showing some ugly yellow teeth, "as far as I know, there hasn't been one A man can fulfill what he sees in the mirror, and so can you, now, you can go, little bastard."

The vicious Catherine who faced Perotti in the library is back, and she's getting worse, "What do you see in the mirror, Mr. Squib? Do you have magic? It's really impossible for you to achieve it in your life." wish." Filch's face changed, and Catherine continued, "What do you usually do in the office? Do you use a stick as a wand?" And unyielding, thick-skinned, "Go talk to Professor Dumbledore Sue, say I contradicted you, and see if the headmaster will expel a witch with a talent for potions, or throw you out of Hogwarts for your negligence - failing to put away the Mirror of Erised .”

Thin kindness may be no more.

Filch was trembling with anger, opened his mouth but couldn't speak for a long time, Mrs. Loris grinned, but didn't dare to come forward, Catherine walked away triumphantly, and when she left, she glanced at the mirror again. It's still a happy Christmas, everyone is smiling, but now she feels that smile is actually mocking the real self.

For the next few days, Catherine tremblingly waited for Professor Dumbledore to settle accounts with her, but half a month passed, and there was no movement, except that Filch stared at her 180 times fiercely when he met her. , did nothing, he was really afraid of being kicked out of Hogwarts, even if even Catherine knew that Dumbledore would not do this, he was still afraid, he was a squib, born to feel inferior in front of wizards, Catherine left Hogwarts can still go to Durmstrang, Bubaston, and Ilvermorny, but after he leaves, he doesn't know where he can go. There is no one in this world who is as tolerant and kind as Dumbledore , so he didn't say anything.
