The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

Chapter 28 Mirror of Erised

The duel couldn't go on anymore, so Hermione tried to ask a few people to go back to the entrance of the lounge and wait for the Fat Lady to come back. Everyone goes back to their dormitories and goes to bed early.

Harry and Ron looked at each other with ambiguous expressions on their faces. The two were very excited about the night out, and the twins had shown off in front of them many times. I can’t go back now anyway, so why not go on a great adventure.

Whether it was a night out or going back to the dormitory, Neville didn't have any inclination. He just didn't want to be alone and would follow wherever there were more people.

"Let's go! Go to the restricted area of ​​the library first."

Loren's words made Hermione's heart beat fast. She didn't want to read the books in the restricted area, she just wanted to follow them to prevent Loren from making bigger mistakes.

The remaining three people quickly followed suit. Loren led the team to the second floor, carefully bypassed the two fighting armors, and arrived at the library.

The library closed at eight o'clock, but the door was unlocked. When pushed gently, the wooden door panel made a "squeak" sound.

Loren glanced around and saw that the library was dark. Loren led a few people inside and then gently closed the door. After looking around, Loren stepped forward to light a lamp on the shelf and walked with it through the rows of bookshelves. The other four people tightly surrounded Loren.

The forbidden book area is at the back of the library. They lightly stepped over the rope that separated the forbidden book area, held up the lamp, and browsed the titles on the bookshelves.

"The Birth of a Curse"

"Driving Soul"

"The Most Painful Torture"

Few people want to touch these books, the titles look very evil.

"Advanced Dark Arts", when Harry read this book, Harry's head suddenly flashed with pain from a needle prick, but it passed quickly.

The last few people took out a book of "Powerful Potions" and looked around. The names of various potions in the catalog were dazzling, including demulcents, truth serum, and love potions.

Harry wondered if Hagrid would know the answers to his questions if he gave him some Veritaserum. But Harry quickly realized that Hagrid was his friend, how could he have such an idea? It was really confusing.

Seeing the Beauty Potion, Hermione wondered if it would be useful for her teeth.

At the end of the book is the elixir of good fortune. Its efficacy is that the person who takes it will have good luck for a period of time and be successful in whatever they do. Several people who read it exclaimed.

But I just exclaimed that I had no idea of ​​​​making it myself. Most of the five people above had never seen or heard of the materials above. The processing method is even more unbelievable. It takes six months to brew the Fuling Elixir.

A few people can only imagine the effects and get addicted.

"Will we learn these potions in the future?" Neville sighed.

"Don't think about it. These are in the restricted area. We can't learn them. Can you imagine Professor Snape teaching us how to make love potions?" Hermione quickly objected.

Several people thought about the love potion, then thought about Snape's gloomy face, and shook their heads in unison.

"Should we read another book?" Harry thought of the book "Advanced Dark Arts".

Loren didn't agree. It was impossible to read books in the library for the first night out. A good student travels at night, and travels at night to read a book all night. Isn't this a kind of...

Ron was just about to ask what to do next when Peeves' sharp voice suddenly came from outside: "Come on, Filch, come and catch me."

Then there was a crackling sound, like Peeves hitting Filch with something.

If anything, Filch is out there, and if he gets caught, he'll get five expulsion notices.

The five of them were close together, and they could hear each other's breathing. Ron and Neville's minds went blank, and they were already in a daze.

"Shh~" Loren said to stop talking, and he quickly blew off the lamp on his hand. He led a few people to walk out of the restricted book area and hid behind the first bookshelf after entering the door.

Filch did not chase Peeves. He knew that the more he chased, the prouder Peeves would become and that if he ignored him, he would soon stop.

The Slytherin bad boy lied to himself that there was someone walking at night on the first floor, but he ended up waiting for a long time in vain.

To lure the tiger away from the mountain, the Weasley twins also used this trick in the first grade. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and this time they were tricked by the new students.

Filch thought that the freshman's night outing would definitely be in the forbidden book area. He left Mrs. Norris on the first floor just in case.

Peeves ran away, and Filch opened the library door and began to look.

The library is lined with rows of bookshelves blocking the view, and the light is even dim at night.

The restricted book area was at the back of the library. The five of them took advantage of Filch to walk towards the back, hid behind another row of bookshelves, staggered away from Filch, and slipped out of the library smoothly.

Without stopping, he ran all the way to find an abandoned classroom, got into it, and closed the door.

The five of them could hear each other's hearts pounding. It was the first time in their lives that they had experienced such an exciting thing, and they almost might have been dropped out of school.

They looked at each other, panting and smiling sincerely. From this moment on, the five of them became friends.

When you and someone experience an event together, you can't help but have a good feeling between you, and a night out in the forbidden book area and escaping from the administrator is such an event.

After calming down, a few people began to look at this abandoned classroom.

It is the same as other classrooms in Hogwarts, but many desks and chairs are piled against the wall, showing a large dark shadow, and there is an upside-down wastebasket next to it.

The most eye-catching thing is the mirror in the middle of the room.

This is a very majestic mirror, reaching to the ceiling, with a golden frame and two claw-shaped feet at the bottom. The top is engraved with "Eris Stella Oheru Ayite Ubi Kafulu Ayiteon Voorhees".

Loren read out the words at the top. This spelling made Hermione quickly discover the pattern and read it backwards: "I am not your face, but the desire in your heart?"

"What do you mean?" Ron asked.

No one answered, everyone looked at the mirror.

Ron stood directly in front of the mirror and exclaimed: "Oh! I saw that I had grown up a bit and became the president of the student body! I was also the captain of the Quidditch team, holding the college cup and the Quidditch cup in my hand. "

"This is a mirror that can reflect the future!" Ron was obsessed with it, showing a silly smile.

The others only saw Ron's shadow nearby, and quickly realized that it was a matter of location. They worked together to push Ron away who was unwilling to move, ignoring his protests, and took turns checking the mirror.

Harry saw his family and parents, more than a dozen people standing behind him, their eyebrows and eyebrows were somewhat similar to his.

Hermione saw that all her grades were excellent, and her parents and Professor McGonagall were praising her.

When Neville saw that his parents were healthy and surrounded by his grandmother, he burst into tears.

Several people felt strange, waiting for Loren to tell Neville's parents who were tortured by Death Eaters and became insane, and were still in St. Mungo's Sanatorium. Everyone felt a little sad, so they moved Neville away from the mirror and stayed with him quietly, waiting for him to calm down.

Loren never imagined that what he saw was an Internet cafe box built by the Room of Requirement, with Grandpa Bates sitting on the sofa.

He almost screamed. It must be that the Mirror of Erised couldn't penetrate his heart, just like the Sorting Hat couldn't penetrate his memory. It couldn't see his desire, so it combined Grandpa Bates and the Internet cafe. .

Hermione asked Loren what he saw, and he only said he saw relatives.

Except for Harry, no one paid much attention to the reflection in the mirror. Several people stayed with him until late at night, but Harry still didn't want to leave. In the end, he was still too sleepy, so Loren asked several people to take Harry back to the dormitory.

Loren walked to the end and looked into the corner as he closed the door.

There was a light group that looked like an adult's shadow, flashing with a blazing red light. It almost blinded Loren the moment he entered the door.

The original plot here flashes the previous scene of Loren's parents. Loren has no special reaction. Some friends think this is unreasonable.

I thought it made sense, so I changed it. However, the foreshadowing of the memory would not be dug up until the second grade, so I just changed the expression and the plot would not change.

If you readers think there are any problems elsewhere, be sure to point them out, thank you!
