A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 69 Farewell to the Mirror of Erised

Amid waves of rebuttals, Owen turned a deaf ear and looked at the surrounding environment, and said in a lively tone: "Oh, why did we come here?"

Harry took a closer look, only to realize that they were very close to the room where the Mirror of Erised was kept.He involuntarily looked in that direction, and instantly became absent-minded.

"Let's go see something interesting!" Owen waved to the group of people, and walked towards the room first.

The others followed curiously, only Harry's mind had already flown to the magic mirror.

Pushing open the closed door, Owen let out a huff: "Sure enough, it's still here."

"This is..." The little wizards leaned forward and looked around in front of the mirror, with incredible expressions in their eyes.

"Oh, this..." Neville looked in the mirror in dismay.

"Is it real?" Daphne's expression also became anxious, she raised a hand to the mirror and stared blankly.

"No, it might be a dangerous magic item, we'd better stay away from it!" Hermione stared blankly at the scene in the mirror, then frowned suddenly and said loudly, tugging on Neville's robe Pull him hard to the door.

"It's okay, Hermione, I've found it for a few days." Harry said, looking at his parents in the mirror with fascination, his voice drifting.

"Do you think you look normal now?" Hermione said sternly. "It's tempting you! I didn't know that there are many dark magic items that kill the unwary!"

"I think everyone should see something different, and this is the evidence that it is deceiving people. Neville, what did you see?" She turned her head to look at Neville.

"Um... my parents..." Neville's voice trailed off.He reluctantly looked at the healthy parents who were smiling at him in the glasses, and then forcibly looked away, clenched his fists tightly, but his expression became more determined.

"Look, this is not right! Let's go!" Hermione raised her voice, her eyes swept over everyone's faces, trying to find a supporter.

Owen looked at the scene in the mirror, looked thoughtful, and then smiled.He patted Neville on the shoulder and looked at Hermione with interest: "What did you see inside?"

Hermione's cheeks flushed slightly, she turned her head and said proudly, "I don't think that's anything worth talking about."

"What about you, Draco?" Owen asked again.

"That's my privacy, Owen." Draco said slowly, squinting his eyes and looking straight into the mirror.

"Oh, you two have a tacit understanding at this time." Owen said with a smile.

"It's the dog who has a tacit understanding with him (her)!" The two said in unison, then stared at each other fiercely, each "hummed", and turned their heads with ugly expressions.

"Owen, will what is shown in the mirror come true?" Daphne's blue eyes contained a hint of hope.

"Obviously not, it only shows the desire in our hearts." Owen shook his head and said, "It's a false illusion."

"Is that so? I thought..." Daphne sighed and muttered to herself, "I thought I could cure her...you know, my sister, she was born with a disease..."

The situation of the Greengrass family is not a secret among pure-blood families. Their family has a curse that can be inherited along with the blood, that is, the blood curse.The blood curse would activate randomly in the family's descendants, and Daphne escaped unharmed, but her sister was obviously not so lucky.

"I know, but it depends on people's actions, and the scene in the mirror may become real." Owen ruffled her hair, comforting the depressed little girl softly.Neville, who was suffering from the same disease, seemed much stronger at this time, and he was also clumsily comforting her.

Daphne quickly adjusted her mood, and after smiling at the crowd with some embarrassment, she walked away from the Mirror of Erised in silence.

"Owen, what did you see in the mirror?" Draco changed the subject.

Owen blinked his eyes, and said honestly: "I saw myself..." He stretched out his index finger and tapped the mirror, and his smile deepened a lot: "And the whole world."

"You want to rule the world?" Draco squinted.Everyone looked over.

"No, it's not domination." Owen smiled meaningfully, "The world is my stage, and I just want to perform freely on the stage."

Before others could continue to ask questions, the door of this room was opened with a "squeak".The white-bearded old man poked half his head in from the door, and let out a "huh" in astonishment.

"There are so many people here. If I wasn't very sure that I wasn't too old and blind, I would have thought I went to the wrong room." Dumbledore walked in with a smile, and raised his hand to push the half-moon on the crooked bridge of the nose. Glasses.

Owen squinted at his white-gloved hand, and Dumbledore seemed to notice his gaze, blinked at him, and retracted his hand into his sleeve carelessly.

"Professor Dumbledore!" The little wizards became at a loss, and even Draco, who usually arranged Dumbledore behind his back, shrank his neck.

"I kept this mirror here temporarily. Ah, you found it unexpectedly." Dumbledore nodded, his bright and sharp blue eyes swept across everyone's faces, and focused on Harry for a moment. "It seems that you have discovered the magic and charm of the Mirror of Erised."

"No, professor! I think..." Hermione's face was flushed instantly, "I mean, a mirror that can reflect people's desires, it may not be so beautiful and...safe." Her voice became more and more Small.

"Ah, of course, it allows us to see the most urgent and strongest desire in our hearts, and only the happiest people in the world can use it as an ordinary mirror." Dumbledore nodded to Hermione, relieved Said, "People are always obsessed with the illusion created by the Mirror of Erised, spend their time in front of it, and even drive them crazy. It is a rare quality to be able to maintain a clear mind in front of it, Miss Granger .”

"I have to give you ten points, Miss Granger. For your rare reason, and for your determination to lead your friends away from temptation." Dumbledore said appreciatively.

The little witch's cheeks burned even redder.Draco pouted contemptuously.

"So, Harry, I beg you not to come looking for it again. It is useless to indulge in illusory dreams and forget about real life." Dumbledore said to Harry, who kept looking into the mirror , "After today, this mirror will move to a new place."

"Okay, Professor." Harry opened his mouth, but finally just mumbled.

"Oh, look, it's time for dinner again before you know it." Dumbledore patted his forehead, "It's time for you to go and enjoy dinner, or would you rather stay and have dinner with an old man like me?"

"By the way, Mr. Filch told me just now that someone should be dueling in a corridor. It's a rare thing, isn't it?"

The little wizards bid farewell to Dumbledore with a guilty conscience, and went out as if fleeing.

Owen glanced back after walking out of the room, just in time to meet Dumbledore's gaze staring at him thoughtfully.Owen showed a flawless and elegant smile, nodded slightly and walked away.
