Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Chapter 37 What You See in the Mirror

This is an unused classroom, many desks and chairs are stacked in disorder by the wall, presenting a large group of dark shadows, and there is a wastebasket upside down on the ground.

The entire classroom showed a completely abandoned scene because no one had used it for a long time.

On the opposite side of the classroom there is a very imposing mirror reaching to the ceiling.

Two claw-shaped feet support the mirror beneath its ornate gold frame.

On the top of the mirror is engraved a line of small characters:

Eris Stella Uhru Ayitubi Kafru Ayitang Voorhees

(Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi).

It took Harry several times to finish reading the text.

After all, the witch is a master at playing with magic mirrors. Harley knows that many magic mirrors show special effects by making victims read specific words.

After reading this line of text, Harry frowned.

She felt no danger from the mirror, so she decided to study the mirror.

Harry stood in front of the mirror, ready to change places with wands outside the range of the mirror.

Then, Harry looked into the mirror. She froze.

Harry saw himself in the mirror stepping on a statue, a statue of an evil god.

That statue is the original witch.

What does this mean? Harry quickly interpreted the information conveyed in the mirror,

A mirror that reflects the future?

I stepped on the original witch, did I usurp his authority and master the power of the disaster domain?

I... I became a god in the future?

In the shock, Harley's spirituality instantly fluctuated violently, and he automatically exited from the invisible state.

But Harry didn't care, but frowned, thinking about the message he wanted to convey in the mirror.

No. Harry thought to himself,

The original witch is not in this world, how could I have the chance to kill her?

And if this mirror really can predict the future, why does it know the existence of the original witch?

But this is indeed what I long for. I also want to become a god, and destroy the witch sect that has been chasing me, and kill the evil gods they serve.

Wait a minute, this is something I crave!

Harry involuntarily read out the last sentence:

That's right, this mirror reflects what I desire! It's what I desire from the bottom of my heart!

While speaking of this, Harry quickly mobilized his spirituality, closed his consciousness, and prevented his consciousness from being probed by external forces.

Sure enough, after Harry closed his consciousness, the image in the mirror disappeared.

There was a sudden burst of applause in the room.

It's beyond my expectation, Harry. An old voice sounded.

The spirituality in Harry's body was instantly active, and she could switch and change the position of the wand at any time, but she didn't act directly, but looked into the mirror.

After Harry closed his consciousness, the mirror really became an ordinary mirror.

So Harry could clearly see from the smooth mirror that an old man was gradually appearing.

That old man was the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore.

Good evening, Professor Dumbledore. Harry immediately turned around and bowed slightly.

Good evening, Harry. Professor Dumbledore said softly, Although this is not a suitable time to say hello.

If I remember correctly, you should be in your warm bed in the girls' dormitory in the Gryffindor Tower now, instead of blowing the cold wind in the abandoned classroom with an old man like me.

I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore. Harry's brain was running fast, and guessed that when he invaded the library, an unknown defense system directly called the police to Principal Dumbledore.

Then, based on this situation, there is a high probability that the headmaster has found himself taking books from the restricted area, and monitoring his every move from behind.

But none of this is certain.

Therefore, Halle simply apologized directly, while keeping her mouth shut about what she was apologizing for.

In case the principal didn't have all the evidence of his violation, wouldn't it be a loss if he admitted too much?

There's nothing to be sorry for. Gryffindor students don't travel at night, can they still be called Gryffindor? Dumbledore walked to the mirror with a smile,

I was also a member of Gryffindor House, and I've been on night swims many times. Fortunately, I was never caught by my headmaster.

After all, I'm still a little talented, and I barely learned the illusion spell that can make me invisible.

Harry didn't answer, but just stood aside, looking down at the ground.

Dumbledore didn't say much, but changed the subject:

Harry, I'm curious, how did you judge that this mirror reflects what you desire in your heart?

What exactly did you see? I wonder if I can share it with an old man like me?

Harley certainly can't say that she saw the picture of her stepping on the original witch and holding up the kingdom of God.

She hesitated slightly, and said in a very small voice: I...I saw my dead parents.

Professor Dumbledore was silent, and the hand stroking the mirror stopped.

After a few seconds of silence, Professor Dumbledore nodded: Yes, I saw the dead parents.

What a sad thing. So you deduce that this mirror reflects what your heart desires most?

Yes, Professor Dumbledore. Harry replied in a low voice, with unconcealable sadness in his voice.

A very sensible inference. Professor Dumbledore nodded,

This mirror is called the Mirror of Erised. I believe you have also seen the words on the mirror.

If you read it backwards, you will find, 'I am not showing your mirror image, but your heart's desire'.

(I show not your face but your hearts desire).

As the saying goes, you can see in this mirror our deepest, most burning desires...

Dumbledore softly described the information about the mirror, and finally added:

I'm very happy, Harley. You have a strong will, and when you first touched this mirror, you got rid of its temptation.

Harry nodded silently, then raised his head suddenly, and asked in a curious voice, Professor Dumbledore, what did you see when you looked in the mirror?

Me? Professor Dumbledore laughed softly, I saw myself holding a pair of thick woolen socks.

woollen socks? Harry looked skeptical. However, Professor Dumbledore did not explain, but stood up.

Harry, I think it's time for you to go back to the dormitory. I'm going to rest too, after all, I have to move this mirror to another place tomorrow.

Okay, Professor. Harry replied obediently, and quickly left the classroom.

Professor Dumbledore did not leave immediately, but looked around seriously, and even drew out his wand and tapped it a few times.

Dumbledore left after making sure that the classroom was completely covered in magic and that no one would break into the room and do something that might destroy the mirror.
