Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God

Time goes to after Ye Ting and his group left the principal’s office.

At this time, in the empty principal’s office, Dumbledore stayed alone in the room, sinking deep into a chair, staring at the large mirror in front of him.

This mirror looked extraordinary. It was very tall, with the top almost touching the ceiling. The golden frame was finely carved, and there were two claw-shaped feet at the bottom.

At the top of the mirror, a line of strange words was engraved:”Erisstra Ehlua It Ubi Kafrua ~ Iton Vohes”

A white-haired old man appeared in the mirror. He was thin and dressed in a black robe. He sat quietly on an old dusty chair, with his hands folded, looking at Dumbledore quietly, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

But immediately, the picture in the mirror changed.

The old man in black robe gradually disappeared, replaced by a warm and friendly scene: a group of people surrounded Dumbledore, as if relatives had reunited after a long separation, and everyone’s face was filled with happy smiles.

Among the group, a 13- or 14-year-old girl stood out. She smiled innocently and waved to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore couldn’t help but reach out his hand, and his trembling fingertips gently touched the mirror.

At that moment, he didn’t notice that a crystal tear had fallen from the corner of his eye.

“Ariana,” Dumbledore murmured,”……Ariana, I’m so sorry I didn’t take good care of you.……”

Bang, bang, bang!

Suddenly, the wooden door was knocked urgently, breaking the tranquility of the headmaster’s office.

Dumbledore quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, covered the Mirror of Erised with a curtain, took a deep breath, calmed his agitated mood, sat back in his chair, and then said in a calm tone:

“Come in.”

Professor Snape rushed in with an angry face and said sternly:

“Headmaster, someone has entered the restricted area and triggered my magic alarm. I rushed over quickly, but I didn’t expect to catch your beloved savior Harry Potter and his little follower Weasley… But you know, they can’t enter the restricted area with their giant heads… I wanted to go to the restricted area to take a look, but Hagrid’s stupid dog was guarding the door. Not only did he not give way to me, he almost bit me.……”

Snape suddenly shut up halfway through his words, his eyes falling on the four steaming cups of milk and a saucer on the table.

“Did you catch them?” He narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion,”Who is so bold?”

“Is it the trouble maker from the Weasley family?”

Before Dumbledore could answer, Snape guessed,”No, they are not that good. Could it be that little bad guy Ye Ting?”

Because of the sale of graphite crucibles, the story of Ye Ting scolding Snape spread throughout Hogwarts, and he was promoted to the third place in the list of little wizards that Snape hated the most – the top two were Potter and the twins – so Snape thought of him first.

“”Little scoundrel?” Dumbledore gently pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a slight smile on his face.”That’s an interesting name. But from what I know, he’s a very outstanding student, don’t you think?””

“Outstanding?”

Snape was furious when he heard this.”Ye Ting may be a little clever, but he is just like Potter, arrogant, annoying, and violent. Recently, he has been hanging out with the two little troublemakers from the Weasley family. Birds of a feather flock together… By the way, he is also selling cauldrons in school. Do you want to take care of it?””

“Oh? Is it a crucible from the Muggle world?”

Dumbledore took a sip of milk and said thoughtfully,”In fact, I have seen those crucibles, and their performance is indeed excellent. The creativity of Muggles is amazing, and it may not be a bad thing for our students to understand this.”

Snape snorted in dissatisfaction,”Then what about his night tour tonight?”

Dumbledore seemed to have been prepared for this and smiled,”I have dealt with it. Everyone has been deducted five points.”

Snape was choked and speechless.

You know, he deducted more than five points from Harry in the first five minutes of class.

He was about to continue speaking, but he caught a glimpse of the mirror in the corner that was mostly covered by the curtain.

“Why did you take out the Mirror of Erised again?”

Snape frowned even deeper:”Didn’t you once tell me that I should not be obsessed with what I see in the mirror, and should not fall into illusory dreams?”

“That’s right, Severus.” Dumbledore responded calmly,”I’m glad that you still remember the advice I gave you many years ago.”

But Snape’s eyes were still fixed on the mirror, as if he wanted to see

“”Would you like to take another look?” Dumbledore’s voice was calm.”If you want, I can let you take a look. It’s okay.”

Snape didn’t speak, his eyes lingering on the edge of the mirror.

Suddenly, he shouted out of control:”No! It’s all over… She’s gone… Those are all fake, just illusions.”

Dumbledore sighed softly.

Snape turned around, his eyes were empty, and the whole person seemed to be trapped in another emotion, trying to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

Except when writing to her, Snape didn’t want anyone to see his vulnerable side, not even Dumbledore.

After a moment, he returned to his usual indifference.

He raised his head and looked at Dumbledore, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone:”Professor, I really want to know, when you face the Mirror of Erised, what will you see? Is it nothingness, or… only your own shadow?”

He paused, and without waiting for the old man to respond, he continued:”I guess, a powerful wizard like you should have no weaknesses… and no emotions can hurt you, right?

His voice gradually became low,”Just like… that person”

“”Are you talking about Voldemort?” Dumbledore asked softly.

Snape raised his head suddenly, his voice filled with anger:”Don’t mention that name in front of me!”

Dumbledore sighed, looking a little hurt.

He said with some sadness:”Severus, you still speak so…straightforward…In fact, we are all the same, we have all experienced pain. Life is always a mess. I am also sad sometimes, and I also want to see things in the magic mirror.”

“Life is so complicated, I understand. But you don’t need to deliberately use words to hurt an old man like me to seek psychological comfort, right?”

After a short silence, Dumbledore stood up and broke the awkward atmosphere:

“Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Did you bring the potion? We have to go and see how badly the levels have been damaged. We have to repair them quickly.”

Dumbledore waved his right hand, and a door opened with a blazing devil flame burning inside.

He pointed his wand at the door, and the flame disappeared instantly. The two walked into the door one after the other.

“Are you still going to set the final level in your office?” Snape asked curiously.

“Of course not,” Dumbledore smiled,”I have a brilliant idea, you have just seen”

“You mean, the Mirror of Erised?” Snape thought for a moment and said nothing more. As they continued walking, the large and small crystal bottles that had been placed on the table had disappeared. Instead, there was a row of flasks with only a few drops of medicine left.

“It’s Ye Ting.……”Snape grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction,”What a thief!……”

As he spoke, he took out a few bottles of potion from his pocket and planned to put them back on the table in the same order as before.

Dumbledore picked up another piece of parchment left by Ye Ting and began to read it.

Seeing that he was reading it seriously, Snape also came over curiously to read it.

After a few minutes, Snape asked tentatively,”Do you see any clues?”

Dumbledore was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he nodded immediately:”……Well, of course, the logical reasoning here is not complicated… Many outstanding wizards may not be able to think of this level. What, you still don’t understand? Do you want me to explain it to you?” (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Snape looked at Dumbledore meaningfully, and said lightly:”No, I think I understand it too.”

He pondered for a moment and decided to adopt Ye Ting’s suggestion to redesign the level. After all, the previous settings were too simple.

Snape emptied the beakers used by Ye Ting one by one, and then poured the antidote and poison into different beakers according to his”guess” answers.

Dumbledore stood aside and watched quietly.

In the end, Snape kept Ye Ting’s parchment.[]

The two continued walking along the corridor and came to an empty chessboard.

Dumbledore smiled bitterly and shook his head:”This chessboard is empty.���If it were smaller, I’m afraid they would have taken this too.”

Snape glanced at him but said nothing. He just followed him silently.

Finally, at Professor Flitwick’s checkpoint, they found the keys scattered on the ground.

Snape bent down, picked up a few keys, and handed one to Dumbledore. Then he gently stroked the charred marks on the key wings and fell into deep thought.

“”Looking at the scorch marks, it should be caused by some large-scale spell,” Snape analyzed,”the damage should be related to fire or lightning… Some of these marks are large and some are small, but the overall structure of the key is not damaged, which shows that the caster’s control is quite good… I have never seen this kind of magic.”

Dumbledore smiled slightly,”I guess this is probably Ye Ting’s little invention. Minerva told me that he had a lot of amazing ideas before he got the wand.” Snape was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said in an elusive tone:

“Ye Ting has just entered school, and he can invent this level of offensive spells. If you let him go like this, aren’t you afraid that he will become the third generation of the Dark Lord?”

If judged from Snape’s perspective, Ye Ting’s talent is too exaggerated.

The word genius is difficult to simply describe him.

If judging from Snape’s observation, even as a genius, Ye Ting’s talent is too exaggerated

Snape has always boasted that he is a genius picked out of a million in the wizarding world. However, even he was only slightly better than his peers when he first started out.

In order to truly realize one’s potential, surpass adult wizards in specific fields, and become an expert in the industry, it takes sufficient time to accumulate strength. It was not until his fifth year that he really achieved success in the fields of potions and the dark arts.

However, Ye Ting’s situation is completely different.

He has just enrolled… even according to Professor McGonagall, he hasn’t even received his acceptance letter, but he has already demonstrated magical prowess that many adult wizards can’t even dream of.

In the field of potions, he has also shown outstanding attainments, and some of his unique insights even made Snape himself think carefully.

Otherwise, the original potion… In the pharmacy class, he would not be speechless by Ye Ting’s arguments, and even become a walking advertisement and background board for Ye Ting’s selling of crucibles.

If Snape had not witnessed Ye Ting passing the test of the Sorting Hat with his own eyes, he would almost doubt whether he was an adult wizard who drank the Polyjuice Potion, or was possessed by the soul of a powerful wizard.

But since all the tests showed normal results, Snape could only sigh that Ye Ting was too talented.

However, looking at the traces of magic left in front of him at this moment, Snape realized that he still underestimated this boy.

Being able to create such a powerful spell at such a young age, could Ye Ting be secretly studying the dark magic?

The thought of facing a rising Dark Lord again made Snape’s mood become extremely heavy.

Isn’t Dumbledore an example?

In���When he was a teacher at the school, he killed the first Dark Lord, and when he got old, he met the second Dark Lord.

He was simply a replica of Dumbledore’s script!

Wait, an idea suddenly flashed through Snape’s mind. Doesn’t this mean that he might be able to defeat McGonagall and become the next headmaster?

Just as Snape was immersed in his wild imagination, Dumbledore waved his wand lightly, and the keys flew up again, lining up and flying past him one by one, as if they were being reviewed.

Dumbledore couldn’t find the key to open the door, so he had to take out a brand new silver key from his pocket.

“He will not become the third generation of the Dark Lord.”Dumbledore said lightly, as if he was just talking about tomorrow’s breakfast.

“”How can you be so sure?” Snape couldn’t help asking,”You know, he, like that guy, also came from an orphanage.”

“”I know Voldemort’s upbringing very well.”

Dumbledore motioned Snape to move on.”Although they had similar starting points, I know that Ye Ting and Voldemort are completely different. At least, he quickly integrated into Hogwarts and made a lot of friends… Although the ratio of male to female friends is a bit unbalanced.……”

At this point, he showed an ambiguous smile.

“Voldemort never had true friends, relatives or lovers, only subordinates… He didn’t know how to love, but Ye Ting did… maybe even knew a little too much… But because of this, he would never follow the path of the Dark Lord.”

“Just because of… love?” Snape really couldn’t figure it out.

Dumbledore smiled and replied,”Yes, love, isn’t that enough to explain the problem? Love is not an illusory concept created by us, it is real, strong and powerful. Love has its own meaning of existence.……”

“Come on,” Snape said with a hint of sarcasm on his face,”Of course love has its uses, such as making friends, building relationships, raising children and so on. But what do you think this has to do with whether a person will become obsessed with power and go astray?”

Dumbledore shook his head,”Severus, your idea is too superficial. We also love those who have left. Is this also for social purposes?”

These words directly silenced Snape.

He was stunned for a moment and shook his head,”No…no”

“The power of love is far more profound than you can imagine.” Dumbledore said gently,”It is a power we can perceive that is more powerful than magic. Love makes us willing to protect those who have nothing to do with us. It is the only thing that can allow us to transcend time and space.”

He paused and continued,”Although you may not understand it now, believe me, the power of love is real and powerful.”

Snape was silent for a moment, and then asked,”Then what about his outrageous talent and magic? You and that person didn’t have this level at the beginning, right?”

“There are always some geniuses in this world.” Dumbledore said lightly,”The most powerful wizard in history is not me or Voldemort, but Merlin… Who can say that he can’t become the second Merlin in the future?”

Snape didn’t say anything.
