On Christmas Day, the Gryffindors who stayed at school spent a whole day of frolicking and carnival, especially the Weasley twins, who escaped the strict discipline of the professors and Filch. Almost approachable, they are almost heavenly happy.Although there were very few people staying in the school, the laughter and laughter in the Gryffindor lounge did not gradually dissipate until late at night.

Ron was stuffed with turkey and cake, and nothing strange bothered him, so he fell asleep almost as soon as the curtains were lowered.Harry couldn't fall asleep all the time. He leaned out from his bed and pulled out the Invisibility Cloak from under the bed.He let the fabric flow over his hands, smoother than silk and lighter than light.

"Use it well," said the note.

Well, the corners of Harry's mouth curled up, whoever gave it to him now owned the dress anyway.Before he mastered the illusion technique, he could boldly go where he wanted to go!

Harry slipped quietly off the bed and wrapped the Invisibility Cloak around him.He looked down at his legs, but saw only moonlight and shadows.This is really a very strange feeling.

Harry tiptoed out of the dormitory, down the stairs, across the common room, and through the portrait hole.

"Who is it?" the fat lady asked hoarsely.Harry didn't say a word, he walked quickly down the corridor, wrapping the Invisibility Cloak tightly around him.

The library was pitch-black. Harry controlled his magic power, waved his wand, "fluorescent flashes", and was satisfied to see the candle on the top of the wand.The Restricted Section was at the back of the library, and Harry stepped cautiously over the string that separated the books from the rest of the general collection, his wand raised, reading the titles by the light of the candle.

Those peeling, faded gilt letters spelled out obscure and complicated words, some books didn't even have titles at all, and one book had a dark stain on it, which looked like a bloodstain, and it looked very strange. horrible.

Harry looked along the bottom of the bookshelves, looking for a book that looked interesting.He suddenly saw a large black and silver book, which looked very attractive.The book was heavy, and Harry pulled it out with difficulty, put it on his lap, and let it open by itself.

A horrific, blood-curdling scream cuts the silence—the book is screaming!Harry snapped it shut, but the screaming didn't stop, it was a high, constant, deafening tone.

Harry heard footsteps in the corridor outside—he hurriedly put the screaming book back on the shelf, and stood in the corner, wrapped tightly in the cloak.Filch's furious pale eyes looked around but couldn't spot Harry.

Filch left with the lamp in hand, and Harry followed quietly, the screams of the book still ringing in his ears.

Filch had worked at Hogwarts for many years, and he knew many shortcuts. Harry was going to follow him and take the shortcut back to his duty room—the center of Hogwarts, leading to many places.But unexpectedly, Filch came to Snape's office.

"Professor, as you said, if someone wanders around at night, he will report to you immediately. Someone was in the library just now

book area. "

"The Restricted Section, then they can't go far, and we'll be able to catch them," Snape said.

Harry walked around them quietly, trying not to make a sound, he hadn't finished his addiction to the Invisibility Cloak, and he wasn't ready to go back to the dormitory.

He turned down a hallway and a door was ajar to the left.Harry hesitated for a moment, then squeezed in sideways. The room looked like an abandoned classroom.Many tables and chairs were stacked against the wall, presenting a large black shadow, and there was an upside-down wastebasket—but, on the wall facing him, there was something that seemed to Things that don't belong here seem to be temporarily put here because there is no place to put them.

It was a very imposing mirror, reaching as high as the ceiling, in an ornate gold frame, and supported by two claw-shaped feet.A row of ancient characters are engraved on the top.

"Seeing unreasonable things at an unreasonable time", Harry surmised maliciously: "After all, it can't be another full-length mirror with a vicious mouth."

He carefully studied the row of ancient characters, feeling very familiar, and finally remembered that he had seen an introduction in the notes of a book: "The Mirror of Erised allows people to see the deepest and strongest desire in the heart. ...indulging in vain dreams and forgetting about real life."

Harry lowered his head and sneered, it's a coincidence that this mirror appeared, isn't it?

When I put on my invisibility cloak and wander around, it is easy to find this place, and then I see a mirror, and I will naturally walk over to take a picture, and then I will be attracted by the beautiful illusion in the mirror. Orphans who grew up lacking in Muggle families are easily addicted to it. At this time, if an elder appears lovingly to solve their fall into the false illusion, then it is easy to gain their own favor and respect, and even new dependence.

Harry took off the Invisibility Cloak, walked towards the mirror, and stopped suddenly, making a hesitant struggle.After a while, he seemed to have finally decided on something, turned around and walked towards the door.At this time, a voice sounded, "Harry, do you know this mirror?"

Harry curled his lips, sure enough.

He turned to see Dumbledore sitting at a table by the wall.Harry made a look of panic, "Didn't you rest, Professor? I didn't see you just now. I, I didn't mean to wander around."

Dumbledore winked happily at Harry, "Don't worry, Harry, I won't tell Filch, it's Christmas, isn't it? Look, I'm wandering around on Christmas night too."

"But I didn't see you just now," Harry said nervously, pinching the Invisibility Cloak in his hand nervously, as if trying to hide it.

"Oh, take it easy, Harry," said Dumbledore cheerfully, "I'm very proficient with spells like the Disillusionment Charm. So you, Harry, are using this Invisibility Cloak to avoid Filch?" ? Your father often did that too."

"Did you give it to me?" Harry seemed to have calmed down, and he smiled shyly and happily at Dumbledore.

"Yes, Harry, it's yours. But Harry, I'm curious why you didn't look in the mirror. You know, many students like it very much."

"I, I also received a mirror today." Harry blushed, as if embarrassed: "It's a Christmas present, it looks similar to this, but as soon as I saw it, it scolded me severely One meal. I don't want to be scolded for a second time!"

Dumbledore looked very surprised. He was stunned for a long time before he burst out laughing, "Is it a talking mirror? Many wizards like to use this kind of mirror to dress themselves up. I think," he paused and looked at it deliberately Harry's messy hair: "Whoever gave you the mirror must have thought about it"

"It's Draco," Harry blushed. "He also gave Ron a pack of mouse biscuits, and Ron said he wouldn't let Scabbers eat them if he died."

Dumbledore blinked. "Little Mr. Malfoy is cute, isn't he?"

Harry nodded shyly, "He was the first person in the wizarding world to befriend me."

"However, this mirror will not criticize your dressing." Dumbledore smiled slyly. "It's called the Mirror of Erised, and it will let you see what you desire most in your heart. Do you want to take a picture?" ?”

"Why is there such a mirror?" Harry shook his head, he said strangely: "Since it is the most desired thing, then I should be clear, why should the mirror reflect it?"

"Oh, Harry, you know, there are always some unfulfilled or even unrealistic wishes in people's hearts, and this mirror will make you feel as if you really got what you want." Dumbledore explained

"So, since it's an unrealistic wish, you should give it up. It's wrong to indulge in illusory dreams and forget about real life, isn't it?" Harry said.

"You are right, Harry. So tomorrow the mirror will be moved to a new place, and I want to prevent other students from getting addicted to it." Dumbledore said gently.

"I suggest you hide it, after all it looks very valuable, doesn't it?" Harry yawned, "I'm going back to sleep, professor, don't you rest?"

"I'll go back to sleep too, Harry, Merry Christmas." Dumbledore said with a smile

"Merry Christmas to you too, Professor." Harry put on the Invisibility Cloak and left the classroom, not sure if he could resist Dumbledore's Legilimency if he stayed any longer.

After I obtained the memory of Voldemort's soul piece, I was attracted by the Occlumency spell that penetrated into the bone marrow in the soul piece, and this spell did not require a wand. Harry practiced this spell the most.Although no one used Dementor to accompany him to practice duels, he believed that Voldemort was definitely not someone to practice with, and Voldemort would not show his fragility to others.

Now it seems that the effect of my own practice is good, although it is very difficult for Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was still in a daze in the abandoned classroom: "The previous ideal was to enter a better university in the Muggle world, and then graduate to find a stable job, preferably better than cousin Dudley? Now the ideal After successfully graduating from the safe Hogwarts, go to the eternally neutral and equally safe St. Mungo's Hospital to be a medical doctor, preferably the one with the most leisurely work??"

Dumbledore thought about what he had just seen in Harry's mind, and shook his head with a bitter smile: "It seems that the training of the savior has a long way to go, alas, why are the two typical Gryffindors, James and Lily? Will the child have such a character? The old guy in the sorting hat also said that Harry is not the most suitable to stay in Gryffindor."

The old headmaster became deeply depressed.

The author has something to say: Dumbledore is a great white wizard who considers everything from the perspective of the overall situation, but Harry is a little selfish~

The following is a popular science about Legilimency, you don’t need to read it~

Legilimency

First appearance: Harry Potter 5, Chapter 24, page 416, US edition.

The content of the magic spell of Legilimency.When using the spell, the caster needs to look directly at the other party, and then read the other party's feelings and memories.

Countermeasures: Occlumency

Experts: Severus Snape, Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore

☆ There should be no clear legal restrictions on using Legilimency, because when Snape taught Harry, Dumbledore used Legilimency without hesitation when asking others in an emergency.

Severus Snape was both Legilimency and Occlumency, and in fact his Occlumency was better than Voldemort's Legilimency, which allowed him to be a long-term spy among the Death Eaters (see Occlumency).

According to Severus Snape's deduction, Voldemort was proficient in Legilimency, and generally speaking, he could always tell when someone was lying to him.Unlike Snape, he does not need to cast a spell to cast Legilimency, as hinted at in his first appearance in Goblet of Fire and in the final scene in Order of the Phoenix.He can retain his own body and control the body of the snake, perhaps also through Legilimency (OP21).

Dumbledore is also a Legilimency master. He said that his Legilimency has been quite successful, and he knows when others lie to him.He is also proficient in Occlumency, enough to teach it if he wanted to (OP37).

Hogwarts doesn't teach this subject (at least not at OWLs).Although literally, it can be translated as "reading people's hearts", but people who use this skill feel that this is a very naive translation.People who use Legilimency are called Legilimency Masters.

Legilimency is easier when the caster is close to the target, or when the target is not alert, relaxed, or vulnerable.Eye contact is often critical to Legilimency.Therefore, if the Legilimency Master can use words to make the target look into his eyes, it will be very beneficial for him to cast a spell, and it will also make the target's mood swings, awakening related emotions and memories (Order of the Phoenix chapters 24 and 26) .These are consistent with the nature of human memory studied in Muggle science.
