HP's profit-seeking

The next day, Danica went to her secret laboratory again—the abandoned classroom where alchemy was practiced, but today was very bad. She tried at least five alchemy circles, none of which were successful.Before she knew it, it was late at night, and she couldn't think of a solution, so she could only temporarily suspend her research on alchemy.

Danica slipped out the door cautiously. After she tiptoed for a while, she suddenly heard Filch's footsteps and Mrs. Norris' call. Obviously, they were on the night watch.Danica took a few quick steps, pushed open the slit door to the left, stepped in, and closed the door.She leaned against the door and listened for a while, holding her breath, as they heard their footsteps fading away.

Danica was a little annoyed, she had to watch the time next time, it was really dangerous to return to the dormitory after the curfew.She looked at the classroom, which also looked abandoned, with many tables and chairs stacked against the wall.But on the wall directly opposite, there is something that should not appear here.

A very imposing mirror, reaching as high as the ceiling, was framed in ornate gold and supported on two claw-shaped feet.An inscription on the top reads: Erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi.

She walked slowly to the mirror, but there was nothing in the mirror.Danica was a little puzzled, and took a few steps closer, standing in front of the mirror.The picture in the mirror made her pale all of a sudden.

Not only is she in the mirror, but behind her are her parents, two people who died in a car accident when she was eight years old.Danica turned to see if there was a ghost behind her, but there was no one behind her.

The woman in the mirror looked at her with a smile on her face, her red hair was soft and smooth, and the man holding her had the same blue eyes as Danica.Danica bites her lip tightly to keep from whimpering, knowing that none of them are real, just fantasy.Because she watched them die at that time, she was hugged tightly by the woman, and she survived the car accident by chance.

Danica took two steps back, and the mirror was empty again.She stared at the words on the top of the mirror tightly, afraid that tears would fall if she blinked.After a while, she calmed down.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and she said mockingly: "What I show is not your face, but the desire in your heart. (I show not your face but your heart desire.)" She read the words on the top of the mirror upside down, her heart full of sadness, No matter how much you desire, it is impossible to become true.

Danica turned and left without hesitation, she wanted to forget about tonight's episode.But after returning to the dormitory, she lay on the bed, looking at the blue ears of wheat on the bed curtain, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Danica didn't get up until near noon the next day. She looked in the mirror with swollen eyes, dark circles under her eyes, and a listless look.She sighed, looked for Stacy's bedside magazine, and cast a beauty spell on herself according to it. "Well, it looks better." She forced a smile in the mirror.

Danica came to the auditorium to eat lunch alone, and she couldn't help thinking about last night while eating.Mother still looks so beautiful, and her father is also so tall. If there was no car accident, would she not have to become an orphan, would not be sent to the orphanage, and would not be squeezed out by the children in the orphanage? If Mrs. Te beat and scolded her, she wouldn't escape from the orphanage and become a little beggar... Would she be happier than she is now?

Danica was in a daze, unconsciously holding the fork in her hand to fork the bread on the plate.Fred and George found Danica sitting at the next table when they finished eating and ran over to find her.

Fred stood behind her on the right, patted her left shoulder, saw that she looked to the left, and smiled brightly, "Hi, Danica, are you okay? I saw you sitting here for a long time .”

Danica glanced at his blue sweater with a yellow "G" on it. "I'm fine, George."

The real George wore Fred's "F" sweater, sat down next to Danica, laughed and said, "I'm George, and it's fun to wear a sweater. Needless to say, Everyone thought I was Fred."

Seeing her forced smile, Fred guessed that she might have encountered something unhappy, and said briskly, "Danica, do you want to take an adventure with us in Hogwarts? Take you for a walk A secret passage known only to us and Filch."

George echoed: "Yes, we are familiar with almost all the secret passages in Hogwarts." He jumped up from his chair and made a funny gentleman salute, "Welcome to start a wonderful journey of secret passages, Miss Wilson. "

Danica looked at them amusedly, "Okay, gentlemen."

George and Fred found a hidden corner, took out the Marauder's Map and murmured about the route problem, and then took Danica to the sixth floor of the castle, where they said the secret passage could lead to the school Outside.

On the sixth floor, Fred pointed to the statue of Stupid Boris and said, "The fourth door to the left of this statue is the prefect's bathroom." He pointed to the statue opposite and said, "This is the statue of Grady the Asshole. , the secret path is behind this statue."

George went on to say, "Percy has been here so many times without discovering this secret passage." "He only has prefect rights in his heart, how could he take a second look at this stupid statue." Fred continued, and his brother They complained about their brother together.

The secret passage behind Gradyly's statue was much wider than the one the twins had taken her to Hogsmeade.The stone steps went down step by step. Danica walked behind George and Fred for an unknown amount of time. When she felt as if she had reached the depths of the ground, a light suddenly appeared in front of the cave, and the entrance of the cave was blurred. in the light.

Danica narrowed her eyes, adjusted, and followed them out.After coming out, she found that the exit was at the bottom of a very thick tree trunk, a huge tree hole.Surrounded by a dense fir forest, the needles are covered with a thick layer of white snow.At the end of the woods is a wide lake, which is not frozen in this cold weather.On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stands Hogwarts Castle, towering and majestic with towering spiers.

Danica looked at it for a while, and she said in surprise, "Isn't this the lake we crossed before entering the first grade?"

"Yeah, we were surprised when we first came here. Let's relive the feeling at that time, after all, we have never been on a boat here since then." Fred said.

George had already found a small boat on the shore, and he waved to the two who were still on the shore, "Come here!"

After the three of them sailed for a distance on the flat, mirror-like lake, Danica couldn't help laughing anymore. George and Fred sat curled up in the small boat for them, looking Very aggrieved. "I remember that four of us were sitting in a small boat, but now the three of us are already so crowded."

George stretched his legs carefully, "We were young then, oh, innocent age." He caught Danica's suspicious eyes and shouted, "Hey, hey, don't look at me like that Ah, we were so innocent back then. Charlie lied to us that the sorting house was about slaying dragons, and only true warriors can enter Gryffindor."

Fred nodded, "When George and I sat on the boat, we were already very nervous and heavy. The two of us secretly hid a fruit knife in our cloak, and we were ready to slay the dragon. "

"I was really relieved when I saw the sorting hat." George lowered his head, they had just driven over the cliff.Getting closer to the castle.

Danica also recalled the scene when she was sorted, "The sorting hat hesitated on my head for a long time. It said it felt my desire, but it couldn't tell whether it was for power or knowledge." The boat carried them Drive through the curtain of ivy covering the cliff face to the secret open entrance. "I answer it without hesitation, it's knowledge. Ravenclaw's famous quote is very similar to what I insist on in my heart, "They walked through a dark tunnel, and the light became stronger as they walked towards the exit, "Extraordinary ingenuity It is the greatest wealth of human beings. I will always remember it in my heart.” They finally reached a place similar to an underground dock, George couldn’t wait to jump off the boat first, Fred jumped off the boat immediately, and then reached out to help Dan Nika, said to her: "Of course, you are the smartest Ravenclaw I have ever seen." Danica was a little embarrassed by his praise.

The three of them walked up a tunnel covered with gravel and small pebbles, and after walking for a while, they reached a meadow outside the castle.Fred pushed open the huge oak door, and they went back inside the castle.

The twins took Danica to the fifth floor of the castle, where there was a huge mirror in the corridor, and there was a big secret passage behind the mirror.According to them, this secret passage is quite well known, because this secret passage leads to Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse in Hogsmeade Village, a good place for a date.

They walked slowly down the wide, gentle passage, and Danica heard them tell a lot of interesting things about their family along the way.Fred says they almost made an unbreakable bond with Ron (their youngest brother) when they were seven or eight; George says their family never knew the two apart, and their mum sometimes called them " Joe Reid" and "Forge".Danica laughed the entire time they teased her.

This time the exit was in the tool room at the far end of the bathroom. They opened a door that looked like a wall, and carefully stepped over the mops and brooms that were being pushed on the ground.Someone came in just as they were walking out of the bathroom, and the witch looked at them strangely, especially at George and Fred, because this was a women's bathroom.

Fred said angrily, "That's why I don't take this secret passage much." He and George walked out quickly, and Danica could only trot behind them.

Madame Puddife's teahouse is still decorated with tacky lace, but Christmas wreaths are hung on the windows, and the small round tables are replaced with mainly red and green tablecloths.There are a lot of people here during the holidays, and the already small and cramped teahouse is even more crowded.

The teahouse is full of couples at a table for two, and a trio like Danica and the twins is particularly strange.In particular, they also occasionally passed by couples who were kissing passionately, which was very awkward for Danica, 13, and George and Fred, who were only 14 in a few months.They almost ran out of Madame Puddife's teahouse at last.

At this time, it was almost time for dinner. I don't know if it was because I was hungry after walking all afternoon or because I wanted to change the subject because of embarrassment. Danica and Fred said at the same time, "Let's go eat."

George froze for a moment, then smiled and put his arms around one of them, standing between them and said, "Then let's go, I am such a brother and sister who have a tacit understanding."

But since all three of them were poor jingles, they ended up just going to Honeydukes to buy some snacks, eating them all the way down the secret passage in the cellar, and going back to Hogwarts for dinner.

But Danica didn't lose sleep tonight.

The author has something to say:

1. The secret passage behind the big mirror on the fifth floor is still usable at this time.

In Prisoner of Azkaban [Fred points his finger along a passage, "There are seven of them. Now Filch knows the four—" He points out the four, "— — but we're sure the only ones we know about. Don't bother with the one behind the fifth-floor mirror, we used it until last winter, but it collapsed—completely blocked.]

2. Why did you delay in falling in love?Because they are still only 13-year-old children (spread hands)
