章節 60: Chapter 60: Professor, I think I can still use it!
Although Irina couldn't see what Harry saw in the mirror, she nodded and said, "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this mirror is called the Mirror of Erised, which can reflect the deepest desires of people's hearts!"
Harry turned his eyes back to the Mirror of Erised. In the Mirror of Erised, the Potter family was waving at him with a smile. Harry stared at them eagerly, pressing his hands tightly on the mirror, as if he wanted to let himself enter the mirror world.
Harry didn't know how long he stayed in front of the Mirror of Erised, and Irina didn't disturb him because she knew the pain in his heart at the moment.
He didn't come back to his senses until there was some noise in the distance.
"Irina, do you want to take a look at this Mirror of Erised?"
Harry asked.
Irina nodded happily, she walked forward and stood in Harry's previous position.
When Irina looked at the Mirror of Erised, she also covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes became moist.
The Mirror of Erised showed a warm room, where a tall girl was lying comfortably on a soft sofa, holding a cute snow-white cat in her arms, and three or four kittens beside her were sleeping soundly on her lap. Not far away, a couple was discussing her life at Hogwarts.
This is... her former life...
Irina was a little sad. Sure enough, what she longed for most was to return to her previous world!
Unlike the carefree Lynn, she was tenderhearted and found it difficult to give up everything she had. Although she did not regret saving those poor animals, she still felt sad and upset to leave her former loved ones and living environment forever.
"Irina, we should go back..."
Seeing Irina standing in front of the Mirror of Erised for a long time without saying a word, Harry couldn't help but remind her.
"Yes," Irina gently wiped her eyes, "Let's go back."
...
The next night, Harry called Ron to go to the abandoned classroom again, but when Harry wanted to call Irina, Irina declined.
In Irina's view, since the past could no longer be reclaimed, it was better to face her new life positively. Although she did feel very sad last night and even cried sadly after returning to the dormitory, she let the sadness dissipate with time.
In the abandoned classroom, Harry saw his family again, and Ron saw himself in the mirror as the Head Boy and the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He wore the prefect's badge and held the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup in his hands.
But after learning that this Mirror of Erised was just showing the desires in people's hearts, Ron suddenly felt a little disappointed, and was unwilling to come with Harry on the third day.
Late at night on the third day, Harry's figure appeared in the abandoned classroom again.
He seemed to be familiar with the route, and walked very quickly. His longing for his relatives in the mirror made him not notice the loud noises he made on the way.
Harry sat down on the floor in front of the Mirror of Erised. He planned to stay here all night, with his family, and not go anywhere.
But at this moment, a voice came and froze Harry in place.
"So... you're here again, Harry?"
Harry suddenly felt that his internal organs were frozen all of a sudden, and this feeling was more terrible than being frozen by Irina's freezing spell.
Harry turned around and saw that the person sitting at a table by the wall not far away was none other than Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Harry came in such a hurry that he didn't notice Professor Dumbledore beside him when he walked into the classroom.
"I... I didn't see you, sir," Harry explained hurriedly.
"It's strange that you became nearsighted after becoming invisible," said Professor Dumbledore, smiling, and Harry was relieved to see the smile on his face.
"So," said Professor Dumbledore, sliding off the table and sitting on the floor with Harry, "you have discovered the joys of the Mirror of Erised, like thousands before you, but I expect you now know its power?"
Harry nodded honestly: "Yes, it allowed me to see my family..."
Professor Dumbledore lowered his head and blinked his blue eyes behind his half-moon glasses: "And it allowed your friend Ron to see that he had become Head Boy."
"How did you know...?!" Harry exclaimed.
"I don't need an Invisibility Cloak to be invisible," Dumbledore said gently, "So, can you think about what the Mirror of Erised shows us?"
Even first-year Lynn could cast the Disillusionment Charm, not to mention Dumbledore, who is an exceptionally powerful wizard. The silent and wandless casting of the Disillusionment Charm is easy for Dumbledore.
Harry said: "Irina told me that the Mirror of Erised shows my innermost desire."
Hearing this, Professor Dumbledore was stunned. He had only found Harry here the next day, and he didn't know what happened on the first day in this classroom.
"In that case, why do you still..." Professor Dumbledore was a little puzzled. Since he knew that everything was illusory, why would Harry still indulge in it?!
Harry smiled bitterly and said: "But even so, it can let me see my family whom I have never met!"
Professor Dumbledore understood.
However, Professor Dumbledore's face became serious, and he said to Harry: "However, the Mirror of Erised can neither teach us knowledge nor tell us the truth. People waste their time in front of it, obsessed with what they can see, and even driven mad, because they don't know whether everything in the mirror is real or possible."
"I am very happy that you can recognize the nature of the Mirror of Erised, but I will not let you continue to use it. The Mirror of Erised will be moved to a new place tomorrow, Harry, I ask you not to look for it again. If you happen to see it again one day, you must be mentally prepared. It is useless to indulge in illusory dreams and forget real life. I think your friend Irina should understand this."
Said Professor Dumbledore.
Harry was a little unconvinced, but he also understood that what Professor Dumbledore said was correct. He could only nod with disappointment to show that he understood.
Professor Dumbledore smiled and said, "In that case, why don't you put on that amazing Invisibility Cloak and go back to sleep?"
After watching Harry leave, Professor Dumbledore cast his eyes on the empty chair not far away.
Professor Dumbledore said softly, "Since you are here, why don't you come out and meet me, Mr. Rowle?"
As the voice fell, a figure suddenly appeared on the shabby chair.
Lynn lifted his own Disillusionment Charm and looked at Professor Dumbledore: "Sorry, professor, I think I can still use this Mirror of Erised!"
