[Zhongyingmei] My dad is Voldy

Even though she had seen the auditorium at the beginning of school and Halloween, Anita was still blown away by the auditorium at the Christmas dinner.The ceiling is a night sky dotted with countless stars. Although it is indoors, the magic makes snowflakes dance in the hall.Groups of two-day insects flashing with various fluorescent lights flew in the heavy snow, like stars falling into the world, reflecting the surrounding snowflakes like a dream.Anita reached out to catch a snowflake, and it didn't melt in the palm of her hand like real snow. It disappeared the moment it touched Anita's skin.

Because only a dozen students stayed at Christmas, the Christmas dinner was not divided into schools like the opening dinner. All the students who stayed at Hogwarts sat at the same table.The differences between the colleges seemed to disappear tonight. Everyone ate, drank, talked and laughed together.Even Ron said "Merry Christmas" to Anita.

The food at the dinner was a very traditional British Christmas dinner, with roast turkey and cranberries, Brussels sprouts, parsnips and baked potatoes, and Christmas pudding for dessert.Anita had to say that while the brussels sprouts and parsnips were dark dishes that were hard to swallow, the roast turkey and roast potatoes were delicious, and the Hogwarts Christmas pudding was delicious.The Christmas pudding was still on fire when it appeared on the plate. The most delicious and exciting way to eat it is to eat it with the flames. These magical flames will not burn people, but they will be cool when eaten.

The most popular thing for little wizards at the dinner party is the Christmas cracker, or it should be said that the wizard's version of the Christmas cracker.Like the Muggle Christmas crackers, the wizarding version of the Christmas crackers are candy-shaped and require two people to pull each end.However, the gifts in the wizard version of the Christmas cracker are much richer. Anita and Percy opened one together, and got a Christmas tree that was a head taller than her. Anita gave the tree to Percy.

Anita's only regret was that she couldn't sit down with her dad for Christmas dinner when the professors were sitting on stage.The atmosphere on the professor's chair was not as scary as Anita had expected. Although Severus and Sirius, who were sitting next to each other, had no communication during the whole process, Sirius and the other professors on the table chatted happily, often teasing each other. Professor DeMcGonagall and Professor Sprout laughed heartily.As for Severus, he was content as long as no one disturbed him and he could enjoy his dinner in peace.Of course Severus wouldn't be rude enough to refuse someone to talk to him.So the atmosphere in the professor's chair is quite harmonious.

After eating and drinking, Anita said good night to everyone, and walked to the Slytherin dormitory alone.

Hogwarts is dimly lit at night, especially when walking in the corridors in the basement, it has a more eerie feeling. Even though Anita walks this road several times a day, walking alone in the corridors at night, especially when Anita still panicked when she realized that no one else was in the dorm either.

"Who's there?" Anita faintly saw a figure at the end of the corridor walking towards her.

This is very strange.No one else in Slytherin stayed but her, and as for ghosts, Slytherin's ghost, Baron the Bloody, didn't like ghosts that eluded him.In fact he rarely spoke, and he was rarely seen in front of others, even the Slytherins rarely saw him.As for Peeves, who always liked to tease little wizards, he never dared to bully Slytherin because of the fear of the bloody Baron.Therefore, there are generally no ghosts in this corridor at the door of Slytherin.

Anita drew out her wand and walked forward cautiously, she could see the figure slowly approaching her too.

When the distance between each other was less than ten meters, Anita read, "Lumos! (Lumos!)"

There was a blinding white light from the tip of Anita's wand.Anita closed her eyes slightly in preparation, then opened them quickly to see who the other party was.

Because she doesn't know whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend, the fluorescent flashing spell, which will not cause too much damage, can temporarily lose the combat effectiveness of the opponent, and allows her to see who the opponent is, is the most suitable spell.

However, what made Anita dumbfounded was that there was no one in front of her, it was clearly a mirror, and what she saw just now was her own reflection in the mirror.

But how could there be a mirror here?

She had walked the corridors in front of the Slytherin dormitory at least hundreds of times, and had never seen the mirror, which wasn't there when she went out this morning.

Anita raised her wand and approached the mirror. Under the illumination of the fluorescent spell, Anita saw the engraving on the top of the mirror: "Erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi."

"Ishownotyourfacebutyourheart'sdesire. (What I show is not your face, but your heart's desire.)" Anita murmured.

Mirror of Erised?

According to the plot, shouldn't it be waiting for Harry Potter in an empty classroom next to the library?

Well, the plot has been almost ruined by her, but Anita thinks that Dumbledore will still let Harry see the mirror.Dumbledore used the Mirror of Erised to let Harry see the deepest desire in his heart, and taught him not to indulge in false dreams, and the encounter between Harry and the Mirror of Erised was even more unexpected after Harry. Being able to get the Sorcerer's Stone from the magic mirror calmly, and laying the foundation for protecting the Sorcerer's Stone from being obtained by Voldemort.

Since Dumbledore will continue to use the "Sorcerer's Stone of the Guardian of the Devil and the Warrior" to cultivate Harry, the savior, the Mirror of Erised will be an important prop.

So why is the Mirror of Erised here?

After all, Harry wouldn't show up at the door of Slytherin's dormitory on Christmas night anyway, and the only person who would pass by tonight was... her?

So this is Dumbledore testing her?

Anita suddenly felt that her mood was a bit complicated.angry?Maybe not.Disappointed?It seems not.

But unhappiness is for sure, and no matter what the reason, being distrusted is always an unpleasant feeling.Even being suspicious by a stranger would make people feel unhappy, let alone being tempted by the principal.

But on the other hand, Anita understood Dumbledore's purpose in doing so.After all, as a young wizard, or a Slytherin wizard who was very close to the Malfoy family, she knew too much.The gift of prophecy she displayed is also a big wild card.Although Anita has not done anything detrimental to the Order of the Phoenix so far, in fact, she has also given very important information. Anita believes that Dumbledore should have confirmed the information she told him about the Horcrux is correct, but there are too many uncertainties in Anita.So it was only natural for Dumbledore to want to know what her heart longed for.

To a certain extent, Dumbledore trusted Anita.But many of these trusts are based on the fact that she is Severus' daughter, and Dumbledore trusts Severus, so he also has some trust in Anita.What's more, Anita's love for Hogwarts has also won Dumbledore's trust to a certain extent.Anita believes that Dumbledore is willing to trust all the little wizards if he can, but his position makes him have to think more.

Dumbledore's trust in Anita is very unstable.Anita is an independent individual with her own independent thoughts and standpoints, and the influence of parents on children is limited after all.And Severus's loyalty to the Order of the Phoenix is ​​largely based on Lily, which makes it difficult for this loyalty to affect Anita.Even, if Anita is a rebellious child, it will have the opposite effect.Coupled with the fact that Anita is still a child, raised in Slytherin, it's hard to say what her stance will be afterward.

Therefore, if Anita was in Dumbledore's position, it would be difficult for her to trust herself.

In fact, Dumbledore did not use Legilimency to read her, but used such a gentle method, which already made Anita very relieved.

If it was Severus who tried to test her, Anita would definitely feel wronged and sad, because she loved Severus, and any distrust would hurt.But Dumbledore's words only had a feeling of "ah, it really came", and Anita didn't even have much disgust.

Besides, Anita was curious about what she would see in the Mirror of Erised.The most difficult thing for people to do is to recognize themselves. Many people have been busy all their lives without figuring out what they want.Anita didn't know what she longed for the most in her heart.

In fact, Anita feels that the most important function of the Mirror of Erised is not to provide a false, intoxicating dream, but to make people recognize their true desires.Only when you know what you really want can you work hard to get it, right?Otherwise, no matter how hard you try, if you go in the wrong direction, everything will be in vain.

Anita actually didn't understand why Dumbledore hid the Mirror of Erised.If she were the principal, she would definitely let all the little wizards walk in front of the Mirror of Erised after the Sorting Hat's sorting ceremony, to clarify their desires early and face their truest hearts, isn't it good?

Thinking of this, Anita walked right in front of the magic mirror.

Seeing the image in the mirror, Anita couldn't help covering her mouth, and tears kept gushing from her eyes.Anita finally understands why some people are willing to indulge in the illusion created by the Mirror of Erised, because there is some desire, and after understanding it brings only despair.Only the illusion in the mirror can bring a little comfort. Knowing that it is fake, it still makes people willing to drink poison to quench their thirst, unable to extricate themselves.
