Harry of the Sherlock Holmes

If you have any doubts, you must solve them. After class was over the next day, Harry led a group of people into the abandoned classroom—the big ornate mirror was still there.

Everyone lined up one by one and stood in front of the mirror excitedly.After Harry's description of its peculiarities, no one could contain their curiosity about such an object.

Ron stepped forward first, staring dumbfounded at himself in the mirror.

"Look at me!" said Ron.

"What did you see?" Harry asked, taking notes with a notebook in his hand.He asked everyone to not only let them see this magical mirror together, but also to collect more information to determine what happened last night.

"Er... I seem to be a bit older - I'm still Head Boy!" said Ron sheepishly.

"what"

"I'm - I'm wearing the badge that Bill used to be - and I'm holding the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup - and I'm the captain of the Quidditch team!" Ron managed to take his eyes off this glorious sight.It made him blush a little to speak so bluntly of his inner longing, but he knew his friends wouldn't laugh at him.

Sure enough, Harry smiled at him, and Hermione muttered a few things about how she should study harder if she wanted to be the head of the Boys' Union, and even Draco just snorted and didn't make any comments.

"I've become a learned man," Hermione said succinctly after staring at the mirror for a moment.

"Your statement is too simple." Ron was dissatisfied, "I said it in much more detail than you."

"Any comments?" Hermione raised her head, allowing Ron to swallow his protest.Harry snickered from the sidelines, he knew what the little witch's desire was - Sherlock would be glad someone challenged his brilliant mind.

"I saw—family, and friends." Draco confirmed slowly, "No one I didn't know showed up."

"No..." Harry muttered. Although the things other people saw were varied, they were all things they had seen. What happened to the picture?Does this mirror have an automatic completion algorithm like a computer, which can reveal the missing parts of the portrait?

"Is it related to your family?" Draco analyzed, "Didn't you say you saw the ring with the family mark? Maybe it's some kind of special inheritance." Being from the Malfoy family, his first reaction was it is this.

"I don't think so," retorted Hermione. "If it's about the Potter family, shouldn't the stuff be in Harry's own house? This is Hogwarts, and I saw it when Harry took pictures of the portrait." It was here, but now it's gone."

"Then what do you think is going on? This mirror shows the desire in the heart. If it has nothing to do with the Potter family, how did this matter get in touch with Harry?"

"My dear child, you know, anything is possible." Dumbledore walked over with a smile on his face.

"Principal?" Everyone yelled together.They had been here so long that no one had discovered when Dumbledore had entered.

Dumbledore's blue eyes twinkled behind the glasses: "We've got a little trick." Harry guessed he might have used some magic to make himself invisible.

He raised his head suddenly. It is absolutely impossible for such a mirror of high value to be thrown in an abandoned classroom for no reason. Although it was his choice to go out for a night tour and wander here, he gave himself an invisibility cloak and told him The one who should make good use of it is Dumbledore.

"headmaster."

"It seems that you already know what this mirror does."

"Yes. But..." Harry nodded and shook his head, explaining to Dumbledore what happened to him, "Headmaster, what do you think?"

Dumbledore stroked his beautiful long beard with a look of surprise on his face.It is true that he put this mirror here, but his original purpose was just to make Harry look at his heart more squarely. Unexpectedly, Harry saw something extraordinary, and then he pulled a group of good friends into the mirror. rushed over.

"Oh, the kids are too smart to have fun." He deliberately sighed, "I still want to show off to you." The people around laughed and then stood up straight. The principal was praising them.

"So, what do you think about the portrait Harry saw? Could it be related to the Potter family? For example, their ancestral home?" Hermione asked curiously.Although she just refuted Draco, the princess who lived in the castle was childish enough.But owning a castle was something every Muggle girl dreamed about when she was a child.

"Oh, actually, the Potters don't have a manor." Dumbledore shook his head.He looked around at the startled children, "Draco, haven't you heard of this too, Harry?"

Draco admitted with some annoyance.Since his birth, only Harry remained in the Potter family, no longer under the special attention of the nobles.After becoming friends with Harry, he didn't want to deliberately investigate anything, and he didn't even know what the principal said.Harry also shook his head to express his ignorance. Sherlock's previous intelligence gathering was more about his safety than the focus.After returning last night, he also wrote to Sirius to inquire, but the other party didn't know what he was busy with, so he hasn't responded yet.

Dumbledore recalled and said: "The Potter family is very lucky, and they can always marry the most outstanding beauties of the same era." Harry kept silent, he believed that who he married had little to do with luck, more The most important thing is to rely on thick skin and the so-called "indomitable" spirit-James' father can be a good example. On the first day of entering the school, he set his goal and chased him to death, and finally left his son with a super difficult "history" Remaining problem".

"Their peculiarity is that each generation of Potter will choose their own residence according to their own preferences, spend their whole life in it, and finally close it before death, and sleep with their partner in it." His voice gradually Going down, he thought of his proud students—the ruins in Godric's Hollow. James and Lily actually followed the family tradition under such circumstances.

Harry quietly stood closer to him, Dumbledore laughed at himself in his heart, was he comforted by this child instead? "But since you can be sure that you read the emblem correctly, the people in the portrait may be your ancestors." The portraits of the Potter family members were sealed together with their houses, and few of them could be recognized.

"As for why she ran into the mirror, maybe the castle is helping." He looked around the room. This abandoned classroom didn't look like anything special, but Dumbledore knew it was covered with With dozens of protective and shielding spells, the safe fortresses the Big Four have built for children are never easy.

"The mirror will be moved to a new place tomorrow, children, and I hope you will stop looking for it," said Dumbledore. achieve your goals."

Harry was not very satisfied with the conclusion he got today, but he couldn't find a better explanation. They said goodbye to the headmaster politely and went back.Harry decided to wait for a reply from Sirius and Remus. As close friends of James' father, they should have some news.

……

But this time, Sirius was going to keep his precious godson waiting for a long time—in 221B (for the convenience of handling some things, he and Remus temporarily lived in the room), he was looking at some documents grimly.

Sirius tried not to get too excited: "Are you sure?"

"This is the most reasonable explanation I can get so far." Sherlock put his fingers together and leaned on the tip of his nose, "But my information is not perfect. Do you have any other methods to verify this?"

"I..." Sirius jumped up from the sofa, "Remus, do you still remember..."
