A little badger from Hogwarts

Harry's matter was quickly forgotten by Hart, because he had more ideas after accepting Professor Phoenix's advice.

Learning magic words, communicating with Cedric and the others, and other messy things...

Hart is so busy every day that he has no time to think about other things.

It wasn't until Ron found him anxiously that he remembered that Harry had become obsessed with the wonderful illusion of the Eriffin Mirror.

"Harry, he is simply crazy. He has not thought about food or tea these past two days. He only wants to see the mirror and see his parents."

Ron said urgently, "I tried taking him to play wizard chess, go downstairs to find Hagrid or find out the identity of Nick Flamel, but he was not interested. Even Snape didn't care. ”

"Hart, do you think Harry may have been possessed by some dark magic? Otherwise, how could he have changed so much?"

"Don't make blind guesses. I know exactly what disease Harry has." Hart comforted: "Tonight, I will go see Harry and promise to persuade him to come back exactly as he was before."

With Hart's assurance, Ron was instantly relieved.

Soon he saw the pile of papers filled with words in front of Hart again, and asked curiously: "Hart, what are these?"

"Do you want to see the derivation formulas of magic theory? I can explain it to you for free!" Hart smiled and put the book in front of Ron's eyes.

"No, no, no!" Ron quickly dodged and waved, "I hate studying the most!"

He jumped three feet away, far away from the tables, and said with a playful smile: "Hart, everything is up to you!"

Hart made a gesture to reassure the boy, and then looked down at his drawings again.

night!

Hart estimated that the time was almost up, so he arrived at the room where the Eriffin Mirror was hidden. The door opened a crack, and I knew in my heart that Harry had arrived.

Just when he was about to open the door and walk in, Hart suddenly felt something was wrong there. He glanced around but didn't find anything.

"Strange thing, really weird thing!"

Hart shook his head, putting the matter behind him, and came to stand next to Harry, who was staring at the mirror.

"So - you're at it again, Harry?"

Harry felt like his insides suddenly turned to ice. He looked behind him and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Hart.

Harry felt that he must have walked right past him, and he was so anxious to look in the mirror that he didn't even notice him.

"I-I didn't see you. Hart, why are you here?"

"It's Ron," Hart said, taking a few steps forward and sitting on the floor with Harry. "He came to me today and said that you were addicted to this Eriffin Mirror and asked me to take you with him. go back."

"Ron!" Harry said a few words, not knowing whether he was crying or laughing, and said, "His worries are really unreasonable. I'm very fine now!"

"You can't say that alone!" Hart didn't listen to her excuses and went straight to the point, "What have you seen in the past two days?"

"It—oh—it makes me see my family—"

"Ron also said that he saw himself becoming the student body president, surrounded by everyone."

"How do you know - oh, Ron must have told you."

"Of course, I can't come here to persuade you to go back without preparing anything!" Hart changed the topic and said gently, "Then, can you know what the Mirror of Erised is and how it works? Showing these images?”

Harry nodded at first, but then shook his head after catching a glimpse of his parents in the mirror.

Hart ignored his change of heart and said directly: "Let me explain. The happiest person in the world can use the Mirror of Erised as an ordinary mirror. In other words, what he sees in the mirror is his own. Looks like. Do you understand something?"

Harry was thinking and came to his own conclusion: "Mirrors make us see what we want...no matter what we want..."

"That's right, and that's wrong," Hart said seriously. "It allows us to see only the most urgent and strongest desires deep in our hearts."

"You've never seen your family, so you see them standing around you. Ron Weasley had always been dwarfed by his brothers, so he saw himself standing alone, the best of them all. .However, this mirror can neither teach us nor tell us the truth. People waste their time in front of it, obsessed with what they see, and even driven crazy, because they do not know everything in the mirror Is it real and possible?”

"This is the power of the Eliphan Mirror, which can make people surrender in front of it without being seen. Also, Harry, do you want to know how many people don't eat or drink because of illusions, and end up starving to death in front of the mirror? "

"No, no, no!" Thinking of the image of himself being so hungry that he was reduced to skin and bones, Harry suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "I understand what you mean now!"

"But I still..." He looked at his parents in the mirror in embarrassment, sighed, and said decadently: "But I still can't control myself, and I still want to continue to see my parents."

"You don't have to worry about this." A third voice came from the room. Harry looked at Dumbledore who suddenly appeared and jumped up. ""

"Professor, I didn't mean it, really..."

"You don't need to worry about this mirror anymore!" Dumbledore gently revealed what Harry had done.

"The mirror will be moved to a new place tomorrow. Harry, I ask you not to look for it again. If you happen to see it again one day, you must be mentally prepared. Indulge in illusory dreams and forget reality. Life is useless, remember that. Well, why not put on that wonderful invisibility cloak and go back to sleep?"

Harry took a nervous step forward, halfway through, and suddenly turned his head.

"Sir - Professor Dumbledore, may I ask a question?"

"Of course, I always have to fulfill my responsibilities as a professor." Dumbledore smiled, "You can continue to ask me questions."

"You said that the mirror will show the weakness of the human heart, but why did nothing happen to Hart when he stood in front of the mirror?"

"You're asking me!" Dumbledore touched his beard and replied: "Maybe it's because Hart has no weakness in his heart, or maybe he doesn't know what he wants. In short, what happens to him is always It’s so incredible.”

"We can discuss this later if you want."

Harry shook his head and left the room.

At this time, Hart stood up and asked Dumbledore: "Professor, since you have been in this room a long time ago, why didn't you show up to persuade Harry?"

"I still like to let students solve their own problems. After all, you kids don't like the discipline of your elders, do you?"

"That's right!" Hart was not satisfied with this answer, but he had nothing to do.

"Good night then, professor!"

"Good night, Hart!"
