Chapter 82 The Mirror of Erised

After everyone’s excitement subsided, Dumbledore clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to look over.

“Okay, okay, I know everyone is excited, but I still have something to say, and that is – eat it.”

As soon as the principal finished speaking, a lot of delicacies appeared on the long table in the auditorium.

Ives picked up a lamb chop and chatted quietly with Hermione.

At the guest of honor, Professor Flitwick happily picked up the wine glass and other The Dean clinked glasses. But the expression on Snape’s face was as uncomfortable as constipation, and he was very reluctant.

Damn it, Slytherin’s seventh consecutive championship is gone, Snape thought sadly.

Professor McGonagall was because of Gryffindor The ugly expression due to multiple Quidditch results has been alleviated, at least he is not at the bottom of the House Cup.

At the beginning of the new school year, Professor McGonagall’s goal is still to achieve the House and Quidditch Cup Grand Slam.

Gryffindor’s first game After the game, Seeker McLagan’s poor performance asked her to set her goal, as long as the Quidditch Cup was not at the bottom.

After Easter, the enthusiasm of the Ravenclaw students in class was compared with that of Gryffindor. Professor Ge also felt that it was okay to be at the bottom of the Quidditch Cup, but not to be at the bottom of the House Cup.

Fortunately, tonight at least her final psychological expectations were achieved, and Gryffindor was actually able to get second place in the House Cup.

Compared with the calm look, Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout always have a smiling expression. Maybe in her heart, the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup are not as important as the herbs grown in the greenhouse and the food in front of her. After the dinner,

Deng���Lido asked Professor Flitwick to inform Ives to go to the principal’s office.

……

In the principal’s office,

Ives opened the door and walked in with ease. He always felt that he came to the principal’s office a little too frequently this semester.

Seeing him come in, Fox gave a fawning cry twice, and then lay down lazily back in his den.

Dumbledore was sitting on a chair, working at his desk. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up and said,”You’re here.”

“Here I come, Professor,” Ives replied

“”Sit down,” Dumbledore said warmly.

Ives was not polite, pulled out the chair opposite the table and sat down.

When he sat firmly, Dumbledore pushed a letter in front of him.

Ives was curious He picked it up and looked through it twice. The envelope of this letter was printed with an imposing pattern of a gold medal and a green ribbon. He recognized that pattern.

“A letter from Sir Merlin? Ives asked doubtfully.

“The Medal of Merlin award ceremony will be held in early July,” Dumbledore explained.”With Fudge and I’s nomination, you will probably receive a Second Class Merlin Medal.”

Aves opened the envelope, took out the parchment inside and read it.

“Dear Mr. Evans:

Because of your important contribution to the Sirius case, you helped the British Ministry of Magic correct an old injustice and established a good image of the Ministry of Magic. So we are pleased to inform you that you have been elected to the Order of Merlin, and we will award you the Order of Merlin, Second Class, which means that you will become the smallest recipient of the Order of Merlin in thousands of years.

At the same time, we will take back Peter Pettigrew’s Or

der of Merlin First Class and reissue it to Sirius Black in recognition of Sirius’s touching justice and loyalty in the dark ages.

We will hold an awards ceremony on the first Saturday in July this year, and you are cordially invited to attend.

Finally, each winner can invite up to thirteen people to attend the awards ceremony. Yours sincerely,

James Barry (Captain of Sir Merlin, member of the Wizengamot, Vice President of the International Federation of Magic)!

Sure enough, as Dumbledore said, he will receive a Second Class Order of Merlin.

“There is one more thing.” Dumbledore took out a black leather suitcase from under the table.”An old friend of mine asked me to give this to you and made a request.”

“any request?”Avis put away Sir Merlin’s letter and looked at him strangely.

Dumbledore stood up and took him to a small cubicle in the office.

There was a huge mirror in the cubicle. Wes looks familiar – the Mirror of Erised.

It seems that after the battle to defend the Philosopher’s Stone, Dumbledore moved it from the restricted area to his office for safekeeping.

Does Dumbledore want to know what I long for most in my heart? What? Ives guessed.

The Mirror of Erised can make people see the most urgent and strongest desires deep in their hearts. In front of it, even using Occlumency cannot deceive it.

Ives guessed, The Mirror of Erised does not read a person’s thoughts and memories. Its ability is more like reading the things that a person desires subconsciously.

Coming to the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore stared at the illusion in the mirror, silently Speechless

“I think you should know what this is,” he said suddenly

“Yes, Professor,” Ives nodded,”Mirror of Erised.”

Dumbledore sighed and said slowly:”Many people will indulge in the illusory dreams it constructs and waste time.”

“Even I am no exception.” He sadly took off his half-moon glasses and wiped them,”I think you should know what my old friend’s request is?”

I think it’s the request you made yourself, principal.” Ives resisted the desire to complain and stood in front of the Mirror of Erised.

The illusion that appeared in the mirror made him silent.

“Ives, what did you see? asked Dumbledore

“……A boy,” Ives said with a slow breath,”received an owl offering him admission to Hogwarts.”

Dumbledore looked over in surprise. He thought Ives would see the vision of him saving the world.

Ives ignored his gaze and stared blankly at the vision in the mirror.

What he didn’t say was that something appeared in the mirror. The boy was him in the previous life.

Ives came back to his senses and explained to Dumbledore:”Professor, what I long for is the opportunity to learn magic and change myself.”

Dumbledore nodded slightly, and then happily handed the box to the young man’s hand.

“I think you will like this gift,” he stopped Elvis from opening the suitcase.

Back in the Ravenclaw common room, a grand party was being held inside.

The eaglets asked the house elves to prepare They bought a lot of food, and the senior students also spent their own money – butterbeer they bought from Hogsmeade village on the open day. After

Ives came back, he was dragged to the party without any explanation. Party. In the middle of the dinner, George, Fred and Cedric sneaked in together, and even Professor Flitwick was present. Professor Flitwick seemed to be drunk at the dinner and jumped on the table excitedly , showing everyone the moonwalk he took during practice.
