Chapter 101 Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, Tell Me What I Want
Listening to the little ones' simple wishes, Sebastian couldn't help but smile.
Silly boys, haven't you heard that wishes won't come true if you shout them out?
Looking at the fireworks filling the sky, Sebastian squinted his eyes with a smile.
There is a very interesting thing in Hogwarts now - the Mirror of Erised.
Standing in front of this mirror, people can know their deepest and strongest desires.
Looking at the children jumping around in front of him, Sebastian felt a strong curiosity in his heart.
How would these children react if they knew that their strongest desires were not the ones they shouted out?
Being a man of action, Sebastian brought a few little ones to Hogwarts early the next morning.
Fred's face was full of impatience. Ever since he heard the news at breakfast, he could no longer sit still.
"Professor, is there really such a magic mirror in the school? Why have George and I never seen it?"
You know, since they first entered school, he and George have been most passionate about exploring the castle, and the emergence of the Marauder's Map has made them even more powerful.
After two years, he and George had turned Hogwarts upside down, but they had never seen such a magical mirror.
A mirror that reflects your inner desires!
That sounds interesting.
"Yes, professor, you are not lying to us, Fred and I have never seen an empty classroom with a mirror."
Hearing Fred's words, George agreed repeatedly. He also felt that such a classroom would not exist.
If there was something so interesting, they would have discovered it long ago.
Percy walked at the end, looking at his noisy brothers with helplessness on his face.
He suspected that the professor was fed up with his younger brothers being too noisy, so he found an excuse to trick everyone back to Hogwarts.
Maybe, I can find their luggage when I return to the dormitory now.
Percy raised his head, looked at Sebastian's tall back and the smile on his lips, and felt a little hesitant.
Professor Swann wouldn't be that boring, right?
But does the magic mirror that reflects people's inner desires really exist...
If you take a photo of yourself, what will you see?
A perfect score?
Student Council President?
Or a wealthy life?
Thinking of this, Percy quickened his pace. He also wanted to see what he desired most.
After a while, Sebastian brought the little ones to the door of an inconspicuous classroom.
If he remembered correctly, Dumbledore had not yet moved the Mirror of Erised.
He smiled at the little ones, then opened the door and walked in.
Inside was a long-abandoned room with thick dust on the floor and some old tables and chairs piled cluttered against the wall.
On the inner wall of the room, there was a very imposing mirror - the Mirror of Erised.
This magic mirror is tall and ancient, and the frame is carved with intricate patterns, as if recording hundreds of years of history.
Looking at the mirror, Sebastian thought of what Dumbledore said in the original book.
This magic mirror is just an ordinary mirror in front of the happiest people in the world. These people can only see their current appearance when standing in front of the mirror.
But how many people are truly happy enough to have no desires or requests?
After all, people's hearts are always filled with various desires, and through the Mirror of Erised, people can see which one they desire most strongly.
Sebastian always felt that it was not a bad thing if a person could clarify his desires.
"That's so cool, George! This place is so close to the library, we didn't even realize it before."
"Someone has definitely cast a spell on this room. It looks like we have to continue our exploration plan, Fred!"
Listening to the twins shouting beside him, Sebastian looked at everything in the room with interest.
He had seen this magic mirror when he was still studying at Hogwarts. At that time, it was in the Room of Requirement, piled up with some miscellaneous items.
Now, because of the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore took it out and placed it in this classroom temporarily.
Suddenly, Sebastian's eyes lit up and he discovered something interesting.
Among the tables and chairs in the corner, there was one chair that looked particularly clean, without a speck of dust at all. It looked as if someone had been there and used it frequently.
Is it Dumbledore?
After all, he needed to improve the mirror so that he could hide the Philosopher's Stone in it to protect himself from a greedy thief.
Sebastian was very curious, what could Dumbledore see in the mirror now?
Will he see Grindelwald, as he did when he was young, or will he look at his sister Ariana?
Suddenly, Percy's words interrupted Sebastian's thoughts.
"Professor, what does this mean?"
Percy stood beside the mirror, tilting his head and struggling to read the ancient inscriptions on it, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what it meant.
"It's actually very simple," Sebastian came to Percy's side, "You can only find out its true meaning by reading it backwards."
"I show you not your face, but your deepest desires."
“Like I said at breakfast, those who stand before the mirror see their deepest dreams and desires.”
“The scenes it presents are so real that they seem to be within reach, making many people obsessed and crazy about them.”
"Why is this happening?" The little ones were a little puzzled. After hearing what the professor said, they always felt that this mirror was not a good thing.
"Because people can see lost loved ones, unfulfilled wishes, or unattainable dreams in the mirror."
Without waiting for the little ones to comment, Sebastian continued.
"Of course, the magic of the mirror lies not only in the beautiful visions it displays, but also in the fact that it makes people realize what they really desire deep in their hearts."
"Wealth? Power? Family? Whatever it is, it can reflect the deepest part of your heart."
“It is both a beautiful dream and a heavy reality. Those who face the mirror must learn to face their own hearts.”
Sebastian took a slow breath, as if recalling some distant memory.
“When I was in school, I used it to help me figure out what my goals were.”
"Remember, what appears in the mirror is not what is really happening. I just want you to face your heart and let you know what you care about most right now."
Hearing this, the little ones couldn't bear it any longer and rushed to see the power of the magic mirror.
"I saw it, I became the head boy's council president and captain of the Quidditch team!"
Ron was the first to go up, and after seeing what he saw in the mirror, he realized that what he wanted most was fame.
The twins took turns going up and found that what they cared about most was invention and creation.
Percy also tried it and found that the person in the mirror had become the Minister of Magic.
The brothers noisily shared their experiences and teased each other's desires.
Finally, it was Harry's turn, and he saw a completely unexpected sight in the magic mirror - his parents.
Harry was silent. He stared at his parents in the mirror, thinking non-stop in his mind.
It turns out that what I desire most is not to defeat Voldemort.
But to have a complete home...
