Archdruid of Hogwarts

"What? The Mirror of Erised is a gate to the world? Leading to the counter-world?" Ernie was no longer calm.

The world in the mirror, the mirror is the portal, these concepts are not surprising to him. What is amazing is that the Mirror of Erised actually hides such a secret, and it was discovered by the Iron Triangle!

Seeing that the usually calm Ernie was shocked, the three children couldn't help but feel a little proud, their little vanity was satisfied.

‘Pong! ’ Hermione placed her bag on the table.

This small red leather bag is Hermione's snack bag.

This was a birthday gift from her father when she was in the third grade of elementary school. She has always liked it.

But as she grew older, she felt a little embarrassed to use it in front of others.

It's like many girls have grown up and still like dolls, dolls, and stuffed toys, but in order to show their maturity and avoid being called naive, they won't show it off (the times are different, and being cute is not a trend).

But since her adventure in Lilliput, while Hermione envied the powerful functions of Ernie's satchel, she also became more and more confident, independent, and independent in her heart. She didn't care about vulgar comments and opinions, and ran wildly on the road of being a hero. I started using this bag openly.

'Bang...' Hermione took out several books in succession, some were thinner, some were large, some were printed in recent decades, and some were very old.

"Have you taught yourself the extension spell and established a stable expansion space in your bag?" Ernie asked with his eyes wide open.

Hermione said proudly: "Not only that, I also discovered the 'Bookworm's Big Mouth Curse'. Using it, you can also solve the problem of big things but small mouths."

The extension spell is relatively easy, but the 'boundary' is the difficult part.

This is easy to understand. No matter how big the house is, the entrance is like a dog hole, and you can only get in by drilling.

Like Ernie's satchel, the frame pattern and borders were all done by professionals. He later expanded it on his own to cope with the increasing number of kitchen utensils, but all relied on the existing structure.

The same is true for the Shrieking Shack. If it is an ordinary house, the extension spell cannot be used.

At this time, Hermione handed a tome to the entrance of the red leather bag, and then reached out to rub the belt buckle on the side of the bag. The entrance of the red leather bag suddenly became larger, like a big mouth eating beans, ah Swallowed the tome in one gulp.

Especially the metal zipper teeth at the entrance of the leather bag instantly turned into big metal teeth, which is quite a fairy tale horror style.

Ernie held his forehead and truly felt what it meant to be a naughty boy who was a top academic.

He felt that Hermione could not continue to be so arrogant, and this "wild wave" must be killed. So he offered his magic weapon: "Eat first, eat first, the world is big and the earth is big, eating is the biggest thing. Let's talk about these messy things after dinner."

Justin, Harry, and especially Ron immediately raised their hands and cheered.

Ernie leaned back and complained secretly: "It's better to be with the stupid kids, I feel more comfortable!"

Then he cursed: "According to this situation, I won't have anything to show off next year!"

At this time, I heard Hannah say softly: "Ernie, what are you going to make for a big dinner today? I'll take care of it."

Ernie secretly complained: "Hannah is still well-behaved and knows how to act stupid to satisfy the man's vanity."

"Hmm..." Hermione's eyes started to sparkle at Hannah again.

Hannah electrocuted her without any hesitation, and the two of them stared at each other in the air. The famous scene of Voldemort and Dumbledore fighting in the Ministry of Magic, with magic fighting each other and energy plasma splashing, reappeared!

But this time, before Ernie could show up, Hermione shook her head decisively, just like Dumbledore used the Elder Wand to deflect Voldemort's attack away, ending the confrontation.

Hermione finished with a snort. He has found a new strategy direction. He wants to become a powerful hero and fulfill Ernie's hobbies so that he can be a housewife and a cook without any worries and cook all kinds of loving meals for him. The family eats...

Eating is a buffer for Ernie, giving him time to recall information about the Mirror of Erised.

It has to be said that his understanding is quite limited.

As far as he knew, no one knew who made the ancient Mirror of Erised, and no one knew how it came to Hogwarts.

It's just a rough explanation. Generations of Hogwarts professors often bring back interesting things from their travels, so it may have come to Hogwarts in this way.

It sat in the Room of Requirement for centuries before Dumbledore gave it a practical use.

As a side note, Ernie also admitted that the Room of Requirement can indeed be called the Hogwarts treasure hunting hall. If they are knowledgeable enough and have a little luck, it is not surprising that wizards can find good things here.

Let’s talk about the Mirror of Erised.

Out of his trust in Dumbledore, Ernie felt that since the Magic Mirror was given a mission by Dumbledore's hands, its risks must be controllable.

There is no reason for Dumbledore to use an unknown item as a level prop.

Now it seems that he also made the mistake of trusting others without seeking verification.

The White Wizard is certainly powerful, but does the White Wizard make no mistakes? There is no time for negligence?

Obviously not. Whether he was young, middle-aged, or old in the original historical line, Dumbledore made mistakes, and more than once.

In addition, Dumbledore is not an omniscient and omnipotent god. He does not even think that Dumbledore has read all the more than 100,000 books in the Hogwarts library.

And even if you have seen it, you may not remember it all.

Unless one suffers from ‘hyperamnesia’, people’s memory points are different, which determines that different people are sensitive to certain information and slow to other information.

If you are sensitive, it is easy to remember. If you can still use it on a daily basis, you can wake it up from time to time and strengthen your memory.

And the slow ones are easy to ignore from the beginning. If you don't mention them for a while, you will only have a vague concept, and you may even not be able to remember them at all.

Therefore, it is possible that Dumbledore was negligent regarding the magic mirror.

There is another important information point:

The Mirror of Erised seems to only be able to present people's desires, but does not have the independent consciousness and evil qualities of Snow White's stepmother's mirror.

So in the original historical line, how did Dumbledore hide the Sorcerer's Stone in the mirror?

In other words, the method is not the point.

It's not unusual for Dumbledore to know some tricks that would be unthinkable to ordinary wizards.

The point is, Dumbledore was able to hide the Sorcerer's Stone in the mirror. Does that mean that the magic mirror itself also has the function of "holding things"?

If you want to 'accommodate things', you need space. No matter what kind of space it is, you must have it.

The mirror space cannot be solved by the extension spell. This is especially true for the Mirror of Erised. It is an ancient magic weapon that has already been established, and it is very difficult to give it new functions.

In short, these doubts will pass by in a flash if you don't take them seriously. Probably no one would fight to the death. There are too many unsolvable mysteries in the extraordinary world.

But now that something like this has happened, we have to deal with Chou Yinmao.

After the meal, Harry and the others were a little sleepy and went to the dormitory on the second floor to take a nap.

Ernie was drinking a fragrant hot chocolate while looking through the books that Hermione had taken out.

In his previous life, he was relatively poor and had never drunk any good tea. He could not taste the sweetness even if he only drank half a cup of tea occasionally, so he did not develop the habit of drinking tea.

He doesn't like coffee or cocoa either. Guozhen is okay, but he likes to drink it in summer. In winter, it's tartary buckwheat, which is cheap. Good barley tea is expensive, but tartary buckwheat has a similar aroma to barley tea.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Ernie has a gluttony problem.

This is also a big reason why I started cooking first in this life.

The simplest way to harvest positive emotions is to enjoy the basic necessities of life after becoming wealthy, and then harvest them as soon as you feel satisfied.

In this way, you can get a "sad" enemy Buff.

This enemy Buff can suppress the loss of "freshness" to a considerable extent and facilitate repeated harvesting (Ernie: Am I a smart person?).

Therefore, being a gourmet is not really about hiding your clumsiness and pretending to be a pig, but it is an important way to earn emotional currency.

Facing the magic mirror problem, Ernie was very serious and prepared to devote enough energy to research.

He found that Hermione was a very particular person when it came to reading. She kept special reading notes, excerpted important passages, and also marked which page of the book she took from.

This greatly facilitates his related reading. He can read all the most critical points first, and then provide detailed explanations of the parts he is interested in.

Unfortunately, the fifteenth day of this month's lunar calendar (November) was yesterday, and today is Saturday the 11st. There will be a big holiday the day after tomorrow to make it easier for the little wizards to celebrate Christmas Eve. Classes will not resume until after the New Year.

Therefore, the magic mirror test, which requires full moonlight to be turned on, can only be postponed until later in the year.

"No, the moon is sixteen round on the fifteenth day. Maybe today will be fine too!" Ernie suddenly became energetic...
