After hearing Ian's answer, Professor McGonagall was not angry, but said happily:

"It seems that you understand this, which is very good. I was just thinking about how to tell you about this. I don't require you to publish it now, or even this year. As long as you can complete the thesis before graduation, enough."

Ian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He really didn't want to disrupt his study plan just for an award and a paper.

Now it seems that this result is still very good. After several years of accumulation, he may really be able to compete for the so-called Most Potential Newcomer Award.

"That's no problem. I will definitely write a good thesis before graduation." Ian replied affirmatively.

Time passed like water, and in the following days, Ian spent his time in peace and contentment.

With the Transfiguration Club once a week and Snape's small class twice a week, his magic level is also slowly improving without any shortcomings.

As Christmas approaches, the entire Hogwarts is enveloped in a joyful and relaxing atmosphere. In this atmosphere, all professors have chosen to reduce or even not assign homework, and the corresponding points will not be deducted. Happened, in short, let everyone have a good Christmas.

Of course, this record still needs to be recorded, and will be processed uniformly after returning from vacation...

Under this environment, Ian also completely forgot about his plan. After all, this was his first Christmas in the magic world, and it had to have some sense of ceremony.

At the moment, he is hanging a second-hand camera given by Ivey around his neck. He says it is second-hand, but in fact, it is exactly as Ivey said. Except that it is not packaged, it is almost like a new one.

Wandering around the campus, he selected scenes, looked for angles, and then took photos. He planned to make a Hogwarts photo album to take back with him before returning to the apocalypse, and let Erin look at it together.

After being together for so long, he had already regarded Eileen as a family member. Moreover, the discovery of a special parasite last time also made him more certain that there might really be no survivors in the end of the world, and ordinary people would have no chance of winning against special parasites.

Ian took photos of the kitchen, auditorium, corridors, movable stairs, and various classrooms one by one. Some were taken by himself, and some were randomly invited by passers-by to take photos for him.

Wandering aimlessly in the castle alone, you can not only discover some little-known beautiful scenery, but also...get lost...

Yes, Ian felt like he couldn't find the stairs to the upper floor. He barely recognized that this was the sixth floor of the castle, but as time passed, he pushed open doors one after another. He tried to find the way he came from, but he still couldn't find any corridor through which he could leave.

But he still didn't plan to summon the phoenix. This kind of adventure activity in the ancient castle made him a little interested and found it all very interesting.

Finally, he opened a door. Behind the door was an abandoned classroom. Desks and chairs were randomly placed in the corner. Facing the door, there was something incompatible with the shabby room, an extremely gorgeous mirror. , the height of the mirror is almost reaching the ceiling, and the bottom is supported by two feet shaped like dragon claws.

Look at the inscription carved on the top of the golden frame: Erised straehrou oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi.

"The Mirror of Erised... hasn't been put in place yet..." Ian muttered to himself as he looked at this mirror, which is the most recognizable in the show.

"I think so... But almost the day before Christmas, I will place it where it should appear in destiny." An old voice said slowly.

Ian knew who it was without having to guess. "So, dear Mr. Principal, are you going to use the mirror to test my desire?"

Hearing his teasing tone, Dumbledore said with rare embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I never thought of doing this. It was because someone touched the magic I arranged on the door, so I took a look at the situation. "

"Ha, even if it's a test, I don't care. But now that I've encountered it, I just use it to reflect my heart." Ian said nonchalantly.

Dumbledore nodded and said softly: "Yes, it reflects the heart and shows the strongest and most urgent desire in our hearts. But its essence, I think you all know it without me saying it..."

When Ian heard this, he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, of course, in the future, seeing the principal giving psychic analysis lessons to our savior will be one of the few fun things."

Dumbledore's expression suddenly felt helpless, just like a real old man facing his naughty grandson. He couldn't beat or scold you, but he still embarrassed you...

"It just so happens that I have something to ask you. It saves me a trip to the office on the eighth floor. But first, let me look in the mirror."

All joking aside, he still respected Dumbledore. It was indeed not easy for this centenarian.

With that said, Ian walked slowly to the Mirror of Erised. Dumbledore looked at the motionless figure standing there and did not choose to disturb, but just waited quietly.

After a long time, there was a complicated sigh.

Dumbledore, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Would you mind chatting with me, an old man? I feel that you are a little sad inside. I feel that this kind of emotion should not be felt at your age..."

"I don't have a big problem, I just want to go home...but I can't go back..." Ian's tone was a little low. He only stood for a few minutes, but the inexplicable fatigue made him sit down on the ground to rest. .

"I can't go back, but Hogwarts is my home now." Dumbledore also sat on the ground, looking straight at Ian.

"Furthermore, I also hope that you won't remember the past too much, which will make you fall into endless sadness. I will store this mirror in another place soon."

"Well, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, I won't watch it anymore." Ian said with an indifferent expression. "And, compared to me before, I am really lucky to be able to come to Hogwarts to study..."

Dumbledore saw the sincere expression on the other person's face and suddenly said mischievously:

"Then, you can consider this place as your home. Maybe when I go on another great adventure in the future, the principal's office will be where you live, and my portrait will hang there."

When Ian heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and refused without hesitation: "Don't even think about it. If you don't clean up this mess, who will settle here. Besides, where did you put Professor McGonagall? For her Said that the weight of Hogwarts in her heart is no less than yours."

After thinking for a while, he said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, after graduation, I will come back and apply for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, provided that you have to completely solve the trouble left by Tom."
