Chapter 74 The Good Use of Two-way Mirrors

After returning from Hogwarts, Charlotte spent more than a month in a daze, and she began to look through the old things.It was the first time Severus gave her hairpins, a seashell headband with a corner missing, and Shakespeare's collection of poems that she transcribed...

Each item had memories of her and Severus, and she fell into it without paying attention, so she couldn't extricate herself.Until she saw the photo album of Ava and Ferry, she suddenly realized that she couldn't go on like this, she had to keep herself busy, not like a widow, decadent like a pile of mud.

— Optimism is her strongest gift, isn't it?

It is difficult to decide what to be busy with. Since the research on the Hippogriff, she has no clue about the next research.And the lingering warmth of that paper could not be dissipated for a long time, until now she still received "fan letters" every three days.But she really didn't have the energy to write them back.

Finally, when Charlotte saw the big-horned deer decoration on the cabinet, she finally decided that she wanted to go and see Xiaobai.Maybe White can tell her about Raven Forest.However, not all creatures will put Charlotte's status as a nature-friendly person. In order not to encounter creatures like hidden monsters, Charlotte decided to make more preparations.

She bought a pocket looking glass in Diagon Alley, which looked like a spinning top made of glass.Charlotte hung it up with her magic pointer, and it fit just right in her pocket.According to the store's explanation, the looking glass is a black magic detector that lights up and spins whenever there are suspicious creatures around.This kind of alarm device is still somewhat useful to Charlotte, as long as the alarm sounds, she can go to a safe place with her inhuman speed.

While Charlotte was packing her luggage, Alex arrived at the manor with a package.Charlotte gave Alex to the stars to feed, and she opened the package herself.The package looked quite big, but in fact there was only a letter and a mirror inside.

The mirror is only the size of a palm, and it can just reflect the face and neck in the hand.Except for strange runes engraved on the surrounding silver frame, this mirror is no different from other mirrors.

Charlotte opened Lily's letter, or this is a note, which is definitely the shortest letter Lily has ever written. There are only two sentences on it: "At 7 o'clock in the evening, call my name in the mirror! I will wait you!"

Although Charlotte didn't know why, she still followed Lily's message. At 7 o'clock in the evening, she held the mirror in her hand and said solemnly like a spell: "Lily Evans."

As soon as the words fell, waves like water waves appeared on the mirror, and beautiful green eyes and fiery red hair gradually appeared in the mirror. It was Lily, and she actually saw Lily in the mirror!

Charlotte admired, stretched out her finger and poked the mirror.The mirror surface is still hard and cold, and has not become as soft as water.

"Charles!" Lily's cheerful voice came from the mirror.

"Lily?" Charlotte looked closer, "Is it really you?"

Lily laughed over there, and was straightened by another person's hand, "Of course it's me. This is a double-sided mirror. You can talk to me with it at any time. Isn't it more convenient than an owl?"

"The wonderful use of magic..." Charlotte sighed.

"I didn't know there was such a good thing before. It's all forks... James told me that he used this to talk to... Sirius when he was in detention. Sigh... I'm so used to calling them It’s a nickname, I can’t change it…”

Charlotte smiled helplessly. She knew Lily was a nickname maniac since she was a child, and she has long been used to it. "Then you can call it whatever you are used to. I know that fork is your James."

"Oh..." Lily covered her face in embarrassment, "My James, don't say that, it's embarrassing. By the way, you wrote a letter a few days ago and said you have plans to go out?"

"Well, go and find Xiaobai." Charlotte said with a smile.

"Ah, you have to show me how she is. I haven't seen her for a long time." Lily said, "And the beauty there! Just looking at the pictures is not enough!"

"Of course I can show it to you at any time, but I don't know if you can at any time." Charlotte raised her eyebrows and said.

Lily snorted, "Is there any time that is not suitable for me, unless I am in class."

"You idiot, your friend is afraid of disturbing you and Potter!" Another voice came from next to Lily, which should be the owner of the arm just now.

"Ah... ah..." The blush on Lily's face almost caught up with the color of her hair, she stammered, "Then...that won't work, I can still talk to you even if the fork is there."

Charlotte smiled from the mirror side, "Anyway, you look for me first, I have more free time than you."

"I got it, I got it." Lily became furious, and urgently needed to change the subject, "You don't know what my dormitory looks like, do you? Let me show you!"

Lily stood up hurriedly, and the mirror turned into Lily's pajamas, and after another turn, Charlotte saw five four-poster beds in turn, hung with crimson flannel curtains.There were still people lying on their stomachs on two of the beds, flipping through books with their chin propped up.

Charlotte also finally saw the girl next to Lily. She had short, light brown hair that reached the ears and freckles on her face.She smiled and greeted Charlotte, who also shook her hand.

"This is Mary!" Lily introduced.

Mary MacDonald, Lily's best friend from Hogwarts, had been injured before and caused Lily and Severus to fight.Charlotte quickly put these numbers on the line.

"Would you like to see our common room?" Lily said, nodding her chin.

"Is this okay? It's too ostentatious." Charlotte thought for a while, Lily was holding a mirror and dangling in a room full of people, wouldn't that be extremely strange!

"I'll just hide it."

Lily has already left, and Charlotte can only see Lily's clothes and hear the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. She guesses that Lily put the mirror on her chest.Quickly turning in the mirror, Charlotte saw a cozy circular room filled with squishy armchairs.

Near the fireplace, Remus and Sirius were playing wizard chess, Remus frowned, and Sirius leaned back in his chair with a smug expression on his face.When he saw Lily, James who was sitting on the side quickly came up to him, and Remus immediately looked at Lily.

Charlotte glanced thoughtfully at Remus.

But Lily didn't notice at all, she quietly showed the mirror to James, and James whispered, "Are you talking to her?"

"That's right." Lily said happily and quietly, "I want to show her our common room."

"Well," James said dejectedly, "I thought you were looking for me."

"Come on!" Lily twisted James' ear, "You're like a follower, we haven't been separated much recently. Speaking of this." Lily's voice suddenly became high-pitched, "NEWT exam is coming soon, you review How is it?"

James jumped up and wailed: "That's more than 2 months."

"It's only been two months! I don't think there's enough time!" Lily said angrily, and then she glared at the three people who were playing chess and watching the game, "And you! Let's review!"

After Lili finished speaking, she left the four stunned faces and returned to the dormitory without looking back. "They say they want to be Aurora, but they don't pay much attention to exams. Can you still be Aurora if you don't do well in the exam?" Lily said while climbing the spiral stairs.

"You look like a housekeeper," said Charlotte, laughing.

Lily coughed twice, "They are out of control. As the president of the student union, I have the obligation to take care of them. And fork, he is also the president of the student union, shouldn't he be an example?"

"You're right, everything you said is right." Charlotte said helplessly, "Then do you want to start reviewing?"

"Of course, I've already prepared a review schedule. I'm going to make one for Fork, so as to save them wasting time." Lily said reasonably.

"I've seen the beautiful dormitory and the common room, so I won't bother you." Charlotte looked at the time, "You go to bed early, I have to prepare again, and I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Okay, let's talk when we have time. Be sure to bring the double-sided mirror."

The double-sided mirror was quickly disconnected, and Charlotte's own image was displayed in the mirror again.She touched the magical mirror and put it in her coat pocket.At this moment, she suddenly felt that Hagrid's moleskin coat was also very good, with many pockets, which could hold a lot of things.

When it was almost noon the next day, Charlotte came to New Zealand again, and came to the inn opened by the British wizard again.When the owner saw Charlotte, his eyes widened, and he looked unbelievable, as if he had seen a ghost.

"You're still alive! I didn't see you back last year...I thought..."

"Live well, boss, don't curse me."

"No, no, no, I'm not cursing you. It's great that you're fine. Hahaha, are you going to that forest again?"

"Ah."

"That's a coincidence. Three days ago, a person from Hua Guo also went to that forest. Maybe you can meet him. You can make a companion at that time. I think he is very powerful."

With the boss' blessing, Charlotte came to the forest where she released Xiaobai the next day.As soon as she entered the forest, Charlotte let Xingxing go back to the hotel first, because she might be safer alone than with Xingxing - she can run fast by herself without any worries, and she doesn't have a bracelet to send her gone.

Charlotte took the looking glass out of her pocket.While driving the road with a dagger, he listened vigilantly to the movement around him.Along the way, the looking glass played a big role, allowing Charlotte to avoid many dangerous magical creatures.

After wandering around in the forest for about half a month, Charlotte failed to find Xiaobai, but took a lot of interesting photos of magical creatures and found a lot of potion ingredients.

But she is not lonely, because Lily will look for her whenever she is free, and she will hold up the mirror to let Lily see the scenery of the forest.Lily's enthusiasm from the beginning gradually became boring. She said: "The forest is really the same, and there is nothing to see." Later, she changed to chatting with Charlotte at night.

After marking the trees she passed, Charlotte set up a wooden platform and tent between two trees.Because she entered the depths of the woods and the dense trees blocked the sunlight, Charlotte couldn't judge the specific time. When she entered the tent and looked at her watch, she realized that it was only after 4 pm.

After eating two pieces of bread, Charlotte lay on the sofa and read a book.At this time, the double-sided mirror began to heat up, and Lily was calling her again, but Charlotte was a little strange at this time.

After turning on the double-sided mirror, Charlotte heard Lily's cry, and next to it was the voice of James who had been apologizing.

"Charles, I feel so bad." Lily ignored James and said to Charlotte in the mirror with red eyes.

"What's wrong?" Charlotte asked.

"Didn't I say that Penny asked me to meet?" Lily said with a sob, "I went with Fork, but Fork messed things up."

"I didn't mean to." James said over there.

"What are you talking about Nimbus 1500? You just haven't changed it, you love to show off!" Lily yelled at James angrily.

"I... I... That Vernon told me about his car first, you see his noble face, I can't let you lose face, can't I?" James tried to explain, but his voice became more and more Low, "What's more, he also said that I receive unemployment benefits. Isn't that a curse on me for failing the NEWT exam?"

But Lily was still angry, she said: "He doesn't understand wizards, and he still doesn't understand after talking about it, why don't you say it! Let's finish our meal properly!"

Lily cried again.

Charlotte covered her forehead here, as early as when Lily told her that she was going to take James to see Petunia, she had a bad premonition, and sure enough things were messed up.

"Don't cry, Lily." Charlotte persuaded softly, "Since what happened, why don't you think of a way to make it up."

"I know, I know, Shire," Lily cried, "I just don't know what to do. I'm really happy that Petunia has found happiness, but she's really getting farther and farther away from me. None of her fiancés like wizards."

Charlotte sighed, this is indeed a knot, a knot that she can't do anything about, "Then let it be, Lily. Sif... What Sif said before is right, you are in two worlds in the end. She will have her life, and you will have yours."

This is not comforting consolation, which stopped Lily from crying.In fact, Lily also knew in her heart that the conflict between her and Petunia had already arisen before entering Hogwarts.It's just that she always had a glimmer of hope that Penny and her could settle down and be good sisters again.

Lily, who has calmed down, no longer needs Charlotte's comfort, because there is a more suitable person beside her.James did a good job, and within a few days, Lily contacted Charlotte lively again.As the exam was getting closer, she even came up with a brilliant idea in her opinion:

"Charle, I transfigured the mirror into a brooch so you can see whoever is in front of me. The exam is getting closer and someone is always in the library."

In this way, thanks to Lily, Charlotte was able to greedily stare at the person she dreamed of in an extremely secretive situation.Charlotte looked at Severus' cold profile all day long.

And just like that, Charlotte's quest in the forest came to a halt, where she had been in the tree for nearly a week.Looking forward to Lily going to the library with a double-sided mirror every day, this kind of behavior of drinking poison to quench thirst was eventually stopped.

"Maybe our situation is too weird, Sev doesn't come to the library anymore." Lily said to Charlotte.

Although Charlotte was very disappointed, she thought about it. The group of people who pinched each other when they met were clearly reviewing their homework at the same table. It really looked weird.Severus hated James so much, Charlotte thought he wouldn't even be in the mood to read a book when he saw James.

Charlotte, who couldn't see Severus, could only put away the mirror and prepare to embark on the journey of looking for Xiaobai again.Lying on the sofa, Charlotte held the moon bell and shook it gently.

Just as Charlotte was imagining what Severus would look like when the bell rang on the other side, the looking glass in her pocket suddenly whirled wildly.Charlotte was startled and got up from the sofa. Before she could stand up, a gust of wind opened the tent door, and a silver tide slapped towards her violently.

She fell on the sofa in horror, her heart beating up to her throat, blocking the exclamation she was about to utter.She closed her eyes tightly in fear.

There was no blood, no pain, but the tip of her nose was touched by something cold, and she heard a pleasant female voice: [Xia, why did you come to see me!I've been waiting so hard for you. 】

Although the voice had matured a lot, Charlotte recognized it was Xiaobai all at once.She opened her eyes, and there was a huge snake head hovering less than a foot away from her. Those pale snake eyes she was familiar with were like white diamonds, shining with strange brilliance.

Charlotte held her breath, and a white snake as thick as her neck was entangled in front of her, and an uncontrollable fear gripped her heart.They were too close, as long as the white snake opened its mouth, her body could be separated.

But White Snake won't do that, she is Xiaobai, a grown up Xiaobai.

【Is Xia afraid of me? 】Xiaobai hissed aggrievedly.

"No..." Charlotte's voice trembled a little, "You...how did you become so big?"

When she was let go around October last year, she was still in a size that could be wrapped around her wrist, but now, less than half a year later, she has grown to such a huge size.

[Because of Raven Forest, Xia!There it was—hiss, hiss. 】Xiao Bai said excitedly, but after hearing the back, Charlotte found strangely that she couldn't understand Xiao Bai's words, and there was only a cold hiss in her ears, 【That's it, I've grown up. 】

What is it?Charlotte didn't understand at all.

"You mean Riven Forest?" Charlotte asked again.

【Yes Yes.There it was—hiss, hiss, hiss. 】

It was that cold hiss again.

"You mean what's in the forest? Are there elves?" Charlotte continued to ask.

[Yes, there is—hiss, she—hiss. 】

Charlotte frowned. As long as Xiaobai wanted to talk about what was in Raven Forest, she would not understand at all... What is the reason?Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Charlotte decided not to dwell on this issue for the time being.

She took a deep breath, slowed down her heartbeat, and touched the little white jade-like body.Due to the dramatic increase in her body size, the scales on her body became much larger, and there was a stream of light like silver water, making her entire body crystal clear, as if it was really made of fine jade.The silver pattern on it flows slowly, which looks particularly beautiful.

"How are you doing, Xiaobai?" Charlotte murmured.

Xiaobai put her triangular head on Charlotte's knees, and her tone was full of grievances, 【Not good, very bad, I miss you very much, Xia.So I'm like - sizzle, sizzle.I'm in so much pain, ever since—hiss, hiss, I've been in so much pain.I just started to feel less pain recently. The creatures in Fir Forest are afraid of me. I asked them to keep an eye out for me. If you see a girl with blue eyes, you must come and notify me, so I know you are here.Your eyes—hiss, hiss...]

Excluding those unintelligible narrations related to Raven Forest, Charlotte roughly sorted out what happened to Xiaobai in the past few months.There must be some power in Raven Forest that allowed Xiaobai to resume the stagnant growth cycle, and the severe pain of rapid growth made Xiaobai feel extremely painful.

Charlotte patted Xiaobai's head pityingly.

"This is Fell Forest?" Charlotte felt that the name was very familiar.

【Yes.This forest is also very large and has many creatures.Except for the dragons in the north, they should all be afraid of me. 】Xiaobai is a little complacent.

"Dragon group? There are dragon groups in the north?" Charlotte was surprised. He heard that large creatures like dragons have been controlled by wizards. He didn't expect that there was a wild dragon group in the Fair Forest.

[Yes, a group of guys with bad tempers.I heard that besides Xia, there are other humans who have entered the Fair Forest. He should have gone to find the dragons. 】 Xiaobai said.

Charlotte thought of the Chinese man mentioned by the hotel owner.

[I'll take you to Raven Forest tomorrow!They must really want to see you too.It's just weird that they don't understand me when I mention you. 】

"You mean elves?"

【Uh-huh. 】

The doubts suppressed by Charlotte resurfaced again. What is the reason that not only prevents herself from seeing the situation in the Raven Forest, but also prevents the elves in the Raven Forest from knowing her existence?

Perhaps only when she enters Raven Forest can the answer be answered.She suddenly began to look forward to it, her 10-year dream world was close at hand, and she could always find the answer.

The author has something to say:

Because the filming location of Lord of the Rings is New Zealand, so I set it like this, hehehe
