Rebirth of HP

36 Mirror of Erised

Because Harry was Professor Snape's apprentice and Harry was the only one at the Slytherin table at Christmas, Harry was called to sit at the teacher's table at the Christmas dinner.Instead of sitting him next to Professor Snape, Dumbledore placed him next to Madam Pomfrey.Snape had no doubts about this. After all, Quirrell was sitting next to him. In any case, Harry had better not have any contact with this person who betrayed him.

During one dinner, under the care of Madam Pomfrey, Harry was a little bit stuffed.However, in order to satisfy the lady, he did not complain.

Christmas passed peacefully like this, Harry didn't go on a trip to find Nico Flamel, and Snape didn't threaten Quirrell in the middle of the night.Harry used the Marauder's Map to follow the movement of the entire castle. Halfway through the Christmas holiday, Barlow told him the whereabouts of the Mirror of Erised, and said that the portraits in the principal's office had sent news that Dumbledore was in distress. Why didn't Leigh go on a night tour, it seemed that Snape was called to talk.So, Harry decided to go for a walk in the castle that night, and take a look at the Mirror of Erised by the way.But he had just walked out of the cellar when Snape spotted him.

"Where are you going when you're not in bed at this hour? Huh?" Snape asked.

"Sev..." Harry didn't expect to run into him at the door.

"Go in first, we need to talk for a while before we talk." Snape frowned slightly seeing Harry's empty hands.

The two of them walked back to the common room, and Harry lit the fire in the fireplace, then called two cushions, and sat down by the fireplace with Snape.Snape watched Harry's face turn red because of the fire, and took the initiative to gently pull Harry into his arms, just like the only tenderness in St. Germont's intensive care unit that year.

"Dumbledore wants you to see the Mirror of Erised," Snape said.

"I'm going." Harry sighed, he already knew that Dumbledore was provoking Snape with Lily again, "I'm sorry, Sev..."

"I told him I'd take you. You don't have to say sorry for that," Snape said softly.

Harry was startled, looked up at Snape, and said puzzledly, "Sev, you don't have to... Dumbledore will be there."

"I'm worried about you little monster, the old bee is still very smart, I don't want him to know the truth..." Snape said softly in a cold voice.

"I see. Then, my lord tutor, do I need to wear the invisibility cloak?" Harry knew that Dumbledore and Snape still had some shadows, and even Harry himself could not be more concerned with that great man. The White Wizard was as close as ever, let alone Snape.Perhaps the magic of time is the most powerful?

Harry will always remember, remember Snape's memory at that time, that pale man questioned Dumbledore with a begging expression: "Where is my soul?"

That's right, the white wizard's answer was only one sentence: "I'm sorry..."

Dumbledore was great though, Harry admitted, was great, and always deserved the respect of all.Everything the old man has done is enough to be respected. Both Harry and Snape understand that the old man cannot be blamed. Dumbledore himself has sacrificed a lot. He is ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself.But Harry's goodwill and admiration for him have long since disappeared because of this "I'm sorry..." and the passage of time.Harry and Snape had been able to see the old headmaster in a fairer light, rather than just seeing him as the "great white wizard" or someone who could bring peace to the wizarding world.

"No, just follow me." Snape said, "I think it should be okay for me to take my apprentices out for practice. Anyway, tomorrow is a holiday, so you can sleep more."

The corridors of Hogwarts were dark at night, and Harry and Snape used "fluorescent flashes" to illuminate the way ahead.Walk through one corridor after another.After walking through the library gate, and walking for a while, the two came to an abandoned classroom.This classroom has obviously been abandoned for a long time, the desks and chairs have been pushed to the corner, and a mirror is leaning on the wall facing the classroom window.It was a magnificent mirror with an ornately decorated gold frame.Hanging straight up to the ceiling, resting on two claw-shaped feet, on the upper part of the mirror is inscribed the following inscription: Ensed.Stra.ehru.ayt.cafru.Oyton.wohsi.

From the moment Harry entered the classroom, he knew that a pair of eyes were watching them.It was Hogwarts' induction, and he knew that the old man was using the Disillusionment Charm in the corner.But since Sif didn't want Dumbledore to know, then he should cooperate a little bit.

"Sir, did you ask me to come to look at this mirror?" Harry asked, pulling Snape's robe carefully.

Snape got along with Harry a lot, and knew that he was signaling that Dumbledore was in this classroom, so he motioned to Harry to stand in front of the mirror: "Look, what's in the mirror? "

Harry walked to the mirror and looked in.Snape had been paying attention to his expression. He knew that what Harry saw before was his family, but what would he see this time?After all he's been through, what will he see?

Harry looked in the mirror and blushed rapidly, but no one saw it in this dark place.But he quickly used Occlumency to ensure that no one else could read this memory.

"What's the matter?" Snape noticed Harry's mistake very keenly, "What did you see?" Snape admitted that he was a little curious.

"It's nothing..." Harry said flusteredly, "Sir, this mirror... I seem to see... Uh, sir... Dad and Mom... and many people, together in the auditorium..." Fact It was him who saw his wedding to Snape.

"Oh? Really?" Snape smiled secretly, he could probably guess what it was, but Dumbledore was watching from the corner, "The Mirror of Erised can reveal what is deepest in our hearts, what we want most desires, it can see through the deepest desires in people's hearts..." Snape said in a low voice, he slowly came to the mirror, he looked at the image in the mirror, and looked at the grown-up boy companion Looking at himself, sitting by a fireplace, he smiled at himself, those green eyes looked at him, then he fell into his arms, stretched out his long arms around his neck, and himself in the mirror lowered his head, Kissed the boy's lips.Snape looked back at his boy, this dream...not far away, is it?

"But..." Harry raised his head, frowning slightly, "What this mirror tells us is not true, isn't it very painful to be too obsessed with it but not get what we want?" came to his mind Dumbledore once said, "Sir, this mirror can neither tell us the truth nor increase our knowledge. I think there should be many people who become weak in front of it, addicted to what they see , there must be many people who have gone crazy..."

"Very well, that's why I brought you here." Snape turned his head and reached out to stroke Harry's hair, "My apprentice, remember, it's terrible to be indulging in dreams without working hard. This mirror What is shown is just an illusion, but if you work hard towards your dream, you can also see this mirror as predicting your future. But you have to think about it, is this future worth your effort? Will it cause harm to others?"

"Yes, sir. I think that's enough to keep me going for the rest of my life," said Harry softly.

"Harry?" Snape stopped talking after seeing Harry say this.

"I want to go back," said Harry, "I'm sleepy..."

"...Okay..." Snape took Harry's hand and walked towards the door. When he passed the door, he cast a look at a dark corner - there, an old man was quietly standing.

After the two left, Dumbledore came out from the corner, and he knew that Snape's last look implied warning.In any case, what I have done is disgusting enough.

However, from the few words Harry said, Dumbledore felt that he could feel relieved.The reason why he threatened Snape to take Harry to see the Mirror of Erised was mainly to confirm Harry's character. He at least needed to figure out whether Harry might become the third Dark Lord.However, at least for now, there is no such omen.

He looked at the Mirror of Erised, a little fascinated, and after a long time, he finally moved his eyes away from the mirror, turned around and looked at the moon outside the skylight of the abandoned classroom, and murmured: "Ariana, that child He gave me a pair of woolen stockings and a pair of woolen gloves this year, very thoughtful boy, isn't he? ... Shouldn't I? ... For the greater good ... Gellert ..."

Back then, when I stood under the apple tree in Godric's Valley, I and that vigorous man were so congenial, and the two people's thoughts and actions were so tacit and consistent.I still remember, when we fell in love at that time, we thought we could be close to each other, we could depend on each other for a lifetime, we thought we could become a partner who entrusted our backs...

but……

"We are endowed with the ability...this ability gives us the power to rule...we strive to rule for the greater good..." Dumbledore gently read the declaration he had made when he was young and mad, the old, indifferent The voice echoed in the air.
