Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 30 The Mirror of Erised

That night, as usual, Mike, who practiced late at night in the Response Room, dragged his tired body out of the Response Room.Since he discovered the Response Room, Mike would come here to practice almost whenever he was free, and after mastering meditation, Mike added an additional meditation to his practice.As a result, almost every time he walked out of the Response Room, he was physically and mentally exhausted, like a zombie.

Mike leaned on the wall and walked into the secret passage leading to the Ravenclaw Tower. Fortunately, this secret passage is extremely unscientific. The Room of Requirement is located very far from the Ravenclaw Tower, but this secret passage But it only takes tens of seconds to arrive.Mike had doubts about this at the beginning, but now Mike is really glad that this secret passage exists, and now he just wants to go back to his bed and sleep.

You can't see your fingers inside the secret passage, and Mike can only rely on the fluorescent light to move forward.

After 1 minute, Mike found that there seemed to be something wrong with this secret passage.

Normally, according to his walking speed, he should have seen the exit of the secret passage at this time, but now Mike still sees endless darkness in front of him.

Mike Qiang cheered up. Right now, he probably triggered the mechanism and changed the destination of the secret passage.

I don't know how long it took, the exit of the secret passage finally appeared in front of Mike, but Mike was not in a hurry to get out.

The tower of Ravenclaw is located next to the Owl House, where the lighting is very good, even at night, Mike can see the surrounding conditions.

But judging from the light coming in from the entrance of the secret passage this time, the destination of this secret passage is definitely not the Ravenclaw Tower.

Mike extinguished the fluorescent flashes released in his hand, and moved slowly against the wall to the exit of the secret passage.

This is a very spacious room, it looks like it should be an abandoned classroom, with dusty desks and chairs piled up in the corner.

On the place where the podium should have been, there was an object that was out of place with the surroundings, a huge full-length mirror.

Under the moonlight outside the window, everything in the abandoned classroom can be seen at a glance. The full-length mirror was quietly placed there, and the moonlight was reflected on the mirror, making it look ghostly.

Mike walked out of the secret passage carefully. The moment he left the secret passage, the entrance to the secret passage opened on the classroom wall disappeared without a sound.Mike groped for a while on the wall where the original secret passage was located, but couldn't find any mechanism, so his heart sank.

Fortunately, the door of the abandoned classroom is still open, so Mike doesn't have to worry about being trapped here.

After observing for a while, Mike, who didn't find anyone else in the classroom, turned his attention to the only abnormality here, the full-length mirror.

When I got closer, I realized that the mirror was astonishingly large, as high as the ceiling, with a golden frame, decorated with extremely ornate wood carvings, and a line of words engraved on the top: Erisstra Ohruait Ubi Kafrua Iton Voorhees.

Mike was startled, isn't this the Mirror of Erised?It was moved to Hogwarts so early. In the original book, Harry only discovered the mirror after Christmas.

The Mirror of Erised is called the Mirror of Desire in the legend. It can form a picture of the things the user desires most in the user's eyes. Many great men in history have bowed down under its magic power. , including the famous Merlin.

Although he knew that he might be immersed in the illusion created by it, Mike couldn't help but look at himself in the mirror.He really wants to know what he desires the most. In fact, most people don't know what they want most in their hearts. Everyone just follows their instincts and lives in a muddle.Being able to see clearly what one wants is the quality necessary to be a great man.

Mike saw himself in the mirror. Although his face was very different from his own now, Mike still recognized it. It was the self in his previous life, the middle-aged greasy man.

There are still many people standing around that greasy middle-aged man, all of whom are relatives and friends from his previous life.

His wife Amanda hugged him tightly in a wedding dress. In the mirror, she was not as old as when Mike died in the previous life. She still maintained the radiant face of her youth. most beautiful woman ever.

There are three people standing behind them. His eldest daughter Trish is wearing a gorgeous evening gown, and her figure is elegant like a princess who came out of a fairy tale. There is also a roll of paper tied with red silk inside, which Mike knows should be a diploma.And a little further away, a slightly bald man was holding a wine bottle and looking at their family of four with a smile in his eyes, taking a sip from time to time.

"Trevor." Mike whispered.

Mike looked at everything in the mirror obsessively, and tears wet his cheeks unconsciously.

He reached out his hand to touch Amanda's face, but what came from his hand was not Amanda's warm skin, but a cold and smooth mirror.

It has been almost a year since he came to the world of Harry Potter. During the past year, Mike has used hard training to numb his longing for his family and friends, and this suppressed emotion finally broke out tonight.

Mike's emotions finally broke down. He collapsed on the ground holding the Mirror of Erised and cried loudly.

Mike always thought that he was still the carefree and unrestrained little bastard back then, and things like family and friends were dispensable.But he didn't expect that they were the ones he cared about most in the end.

In the shadows of the classroom, Dumbledore watched Mike, who was crying bitterly.He's no stranger to Mike's reaction, the same way he did when he first saw his family in the Mirror of Erised.

Seeing Mike at this moment seems to be seeing the original self.Dumbledore sighed silently, the figure gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared.

He was the one who lured Mike to this abandoned classroom today, in order to use the Mirror of Erised to test Mike.Originally, I thought that when Mike was caught in the illusion of the Mirror of Erised, he would suddenly appear and teach Mike a lesson about love.

But now I'm afraid it's not necessary, Mike's performance is very good, much better than the best scene Dumbledore expected.

Mike is different from Voldemort. Voldemort has no love in his heart, but only desire and hatred.But Mike still has the love for his family and friends in his heart.

Such Mike will definitely not become the next Voldemort.
