Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 269 The Mirror of Erised

"Professor Dumbledore, this is the research report that Professor Babling asked me to give you."

After dinner, Connor went to see Dumbledore. It had been a long time since he had seen him. He wasn't very old, but he was still very energetic.

There is soothing piano music in the principal's office, and the music box with a rich music library is very popular with Dumbledore.

"Good evening, Connor." Dumbledore greeted with a smile. There was a large crystal ball on the table in front of him. Can't find anything wrong with it.

Probably the bad old man who likes to peek at the crystal ball is the character set that most people imagine.

The crystal ball is made by repeatedly combining double-sided mirrors [monitoring large crystal ball]. Dumbledore has installed monitors in many places in the castle. This crystal ball can switch lenses at will, basically covering The field of view of the entire castle.

As the supreme ruler of the school, it is normal to have a crystal ball that can monitor the entire academy... right?

Connor handed the report to Dumbledore, and when he got closer, he realized that Dumbledore was secretly peeping at a certain Potter with a crystal ball—Harry was doing sit-ups in the Gryffindor lounge...

"Professor Dumbledore, peeking at other people's private lives is immoral." Connor complained noncommittally.

"Well, I just want to pay attention to what the little lions of Gryffindor are doing on weekdays. This is conducive to my work." Dumbledore didn't pay attention to Connor's words, but read them with more interest. Also ate a few cockroaches by the way.

"Is there any progress in the study of magic scrolls?" Dumbledore took out a handful of candy and put it on the table and pushed it in front of Connor.

"No, the progress is stable, and there is no breakthrough." Connor naturally sat down in his old seat, crossed his legs, wondering what this bad old man left him for.

"Take your time, take your time. There is no rush. Research is always very boring. I also suffered a lot when Nicole and I were researching the uses of dragon's blood. Back then."

Dumbledore chatted with Connor, just like an ordinary old man showing off his glorious past, this kind of Dumbledore made Connor feel much more intimate.

"... He's been very quiet lately." Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject, and the crystal ball switched to a figure - it was Quirrell.

At this time, Quirrell was staying in the office of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and was seriously correcting his homework.
"Voldemort." Connor thought for a while, and asked his long-standing doubts: "What kind of state are Voldemort and Professor Quirrell in now? Well, didn't you say that Voldemort was on Professor Quirrell? Then he Where is it hidden?"

In order not to make himself appear to know everything, Connor asked relatively low-level questions.

"." Dumbledore was silent for a while, then sighed, and said, "Actually... Quirrell is already dead."

"Eh? What?" Connor didn't expect to get such an answer.

"Voldemort is parasitic on the back of Quirrell's head." Dumbledore patted himself on the back of his head, and said, "He occupied Quirrell's body and used Quirrell's vitality to maintain his existence. Their current state is already Inseparable, even if we had rid Voldemort from his body, Quirrell would not have survived."

"Although Quirrell still looks like a living person, in fact, his life no longer belongs to him."

"." Connor frowned, and asked softly, "Is it hopeless?"

Dumbledore was a little surprised: "You want to save him? Why?"

Quirrell now wears the same pair of pants as Voldemort, and Dumbledore thought Connor understood this.

"Professor Quirrell is actually quite innocent. I heard that he is a cowardly person. Voldemort must have threatened Quirrell's life to work for him, and Quirrell had no choice but to be the devil's lackey in order to survive."

Connor pondered for a moment, he is not from the Virgin Mary, but he just felt that Qi Luo was pitiful. He was just a cowardly scholar, but because of an accidental trip to collect materials, he was raped by a hermaphrodite, and the whole novel belonged to him. Bad luck, Connor wouldn't mind saving his life if it could be saved.

"At the end of the day, it's all Voldemort's fault."

Anyway, it's right to blame Voldemort.

"Actually, it's not impossible to save." Dumbledore nodded, a kind child, he likes it very much, he stroked his beard slowly and said:

"Once Voldemort leaves Quirrell's body, he will definitely take away all the vitality in Quirrell's body. It can be said that in this way, Quirrell will undoubtedly die. If you want to save him, you must replenish Quirrell at the moment Voldemort leaves The vitality he needs, it is very difficult to achieve this, and”

Dumbledore looked up at Connor: "...not worth it."

"." Connor smacked his lips, and he expected this answer. Dumbledore is not a good person. Forget it, Professor Quirrell, you should go at ease, your wife and daughter. Oh, you are old. The bachelor is here, excuse me.

"However," before Dumbledore could say anything, "there is still a simpler way"

"Oh? What is it."

Dumbledore pointed to Connor's earrings: "Isn't your painting magic able to attach to the soul?"

Connor suddenly realized.

-

"Professor Dumbledore, what did you bring me here for?" Half an hour later, Dumbledore brought Connor to an empty room on the third floor of the castle. Connor looked at the empty room and asked suspiciously. asked.

"Well, it's almost Christmas break, I'm here to prepare a present for naughty children." Dumbledore smiled relaxedly, he raised his hand, a small mirror appeared in his hand, and then slowly rotated, slowly Slowly growing larger, it soon became a very imposing mirror, reaching to the ceiling, with an ornate gold frame, supported by two claw-shaped feet.

Connor saw the string of words on the top of it, this is the Mirror of Erised, Connor quickly figured out what it was, and then he subconsciously looked at the mirror.
"This is the Mirror of Erised that I told you before. He can see the deepest desires in people's hearts. This is a very magical magic item. The soul and space magic on it are very profound. How to use it It's also very interesting, as long as you stand behind the magic mirror."

Dumbledore was showing off the magical mirror to Connor, but when he turned around, even as calm as he was, he showed a surprised expression: "Connor, you"

".Why are you crying?"

On Connor's fair face, a line of tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes. This was the first time Connor shed tears since he was able to control his body.

"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I lost my composure." Connor reacted, he immediately turned his back and wiped away his tears, and then walked towards the door without stopping: "I suddenly remembered something urgent, I'll go first gone."

Connor left the room, and Dumbledore watched him leave without holding back.

Dumbledore was confused. As far as he knew, Connor lived in a happy family. He thought Connor would only see himself in the mirror...

But he cried?Why?
Dumbledore didn't want to understand, he didn't use magic on the mirror just now.

What the hell did that kid see?
