Anita kept wiping away her tears, not wanting them to blur her vision, because Anita knew that Dumbledore was supposed to be right next to him and would take the Mirror of Erised away soon, and she didn't want to waste a second being able to see to their time.But the tears couldn't be stopped, and after a while, Anita gradually calmed down.

Anita blinked away the tears that had obscured her vision, and stared deeply at the person in the mirror.

In the mirror, her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and there was unshakable longing and despair in her eyes.

In the mirror, behind her on the left, there is a couple with black hair and black eyes, typical oriental faces, two people with very ordinary looks and temperament.Both of them are no longer young. Although the woman is well maintained, cosmetics are no longer able to cover the wrinkles on her face. The man has also begun to gain weight, and the hair on the front of his head has left him.The two looked at Anita with excited expressions. The woman leaned on the man's arms with tears streaming down her cheeks. The man put his arms around the woman and smiled at Anita, but tears also flowed from his eyes.

dad, mom.Anita opened her mouth, but failed to utter these words.

Anita was an orphan in her previous life and grew up in a children's welfare home. She has never met her parents, but Anita knows that they are her parents in her previous life.This is an intuition that comes from the blood. Although they have never met, they seem to have known each other for a long time.

In fact, Anita never visited her parents when she grew up in her previous life.When asked by others, her answer is always "No matter what the reason is, since they chose to abandon me, then I have nothing to do with them", or "I didn't show up when I needed them when I was young, and now I have No need for parents."

Do you really not care?No, I care too much.

As a girl who is healthy and has no disabilities, I have heard too many stories in the orphanage that parents abandoned the girl they gave birth to in order to have a boy.And these girls who were abandoned at the gate of the orphanage had to be lucky, at least their parents didn't just drown them or abandon them in the wilderness, didn't they?

So I dare not look for it.What should she do if she finds out that her parents have abandoned her on purpose?If she finds that her parents have a happy family now, and her rash appearance is a discordant note in that family, how should she deal with herself?

Why break your imagination of your parents?At least in her imagination, her parents loved her, but lost her accidentally, and one day, they would find her.

Now, Anita sees her parents in the previous life, and they are exactly what she imagined in the mirror.

Anita reached forward, but all she encountered was the cold mirror.

They only exist on the other side of the mirror.

Anita tentatively stretched out her left hand to the side, and she in the mirror did the same. Then, Anita saw her hand in the mirror being held by her mother in the previous life.

Although Anita's left hand couldn't feel anything but air, Anita still couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

There is also a couple behind Anita on the right. The woman is very beautiful, with long black hair and green eyes.The woman looked at Anita with too much reluctance and sadness in her eyes, but she still showed a warm smile to Anita.The man next to the woman was tall and thin, with a handsome face, black hair and eyes.Anita noticed that although she didn't look much like the two of them, Anita's eyes were very similar to men's, not only in the color of the pupils, but also in shape, and the dimple on the left side of Anita's face was similar to that of a woman's. exactly the same.

The man's aura is very strong, he looks at his surroundings with disdain, but his eyes are very gentle when he looks at women.Anita saw him wrap his arms around the woman's shoulders, kiss her hair reassuringly, and whisper something in her ear.The man seemed to be aware of Anita's gaze, and turned his head to look at Anita. There was no disgust or indifference in his eyes when he looked at Anita, but the same tenderness and love.

This should be her biological parents in this world, Irene Prince and Voldemort.

"Mom." Anita called softly.

Eileen looked at Anita with relief, smiled and nodded to her, but at the same time burst into tears.

Anita stretched out her right hand in a hugging gesture, and saw Irene squatting down, embracing her in the mirror.

Although Anita and Irene spent less than a day together, Anita, who was still a baby, didn't even see Irene's face clearly, but she really felt the maternal love.Anita understands Irene's involuntary control, no matter which time and space Irene is in or what kind of person she becomes, she is the only mother that Anita recognizes.

Voldemort in the mirror also knelt down and hugged both mother and daughter into his arms.Anita's eyes widened in surprise, and she had the same expression in the mirror. Seeing Anita's expression, Voldemort smiled indulgently, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.

Anita subconsciously covered her forehead, a little at a loss.

To be honest, Anita has always had complicated feelings about Voldemort.She had thought of sitting on the sidelines and letting Voldemort and Harry Potter, their destined adversaries, fight it out.She was also influenced by the Big Four thousands of years ago, telling Dumbledore about Voldemort's weaknesses in order to protect Hogwarts from the war.She thought she had no feelings for Voldemort, her biological father, but now she obviously didn't feel like that.

Anita clutched her chest in bewilderment, so, was that what she really wanted?She almost killed her own father. At this moment, she realized that she was actually looking forward to Voldemort as a father?

No, not right.Anita shook her head. She had faced Quirrell and Voldemort attached to Quirrell. At that time, Voldemort gave her a completely different feeling.That cold and evil Voldemort could never be her illusion.

So, the Mirror of Erised was showing the Voldemort she longed for, not the real Voldemort, right?

Anita wasn't sure, she looked at Voldemort in the mirror with eyes full of trouble and pain, as if she was looking for an answer like him.But the person in the mirror was destined to be unable to answer Anita's question. Voldemort raised his hand and gently wiped away Anita's tears in the mirror, and rubbed her hair pamperingly.

It's just too bad.Anita felt her heart being torn in two, and one half said she was doing the right thing, she was doing it to protect Hogwarts, wasn't she?Many people, such as Severus, such as Fred, don't have to sacrifice, don't they?The other half kept questioning her, did she really understand what kind of person Voldemort was?Everything she knows about Voldemort comes from the original book and people around her, but apart from a word with Voldemort in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, she has no other contact with Voldemort, let alone understanding.

It's an illusion, it's not real.

It's an illusion, it's not real.

This is an illusion, this is not real!

Anita tried to convince herself, forced herself to tear her eyes away from the happy family, and looked at the other two people standing behind her.

Standing behind her was Severus, a familiar but very strange Severus.Severus in the mirror didn't have a gloomy expression, and there were no vertical lines between his brows from frequent frowning.Because standing next to Severus was a woman with long dark red hair and green eyes, leaning on Severus' arms, smiling at Anita with a smile as warm as the sun.This should be Lily, right?

Severus was also looking at Anita with a smile on his face, not the one with the corners of his mouth that curled up like he usually did when he faced Anita, but the kind that made his entire face come alive.Anita never knew Dad could smile like that, but it's nice, isn't it?

For a moment, Anita felt ashamed of her deepest desire.In any case, Lily is Mrs. Potter, Harry's mother, and she sacrificed her life to protect Harry, obviously loving her husband and children deeply.

But, seeing her father so happy, Anita couldn't help wishing that what she saw was real.

"Daddy," Anita murmured.

Severus nodded to Anita, and Lily waved to Anita, as if asking her to join them through the mirror.Anita stared at them longingly and desperately. She reached out and pressed the mirror, as if she could touch them in this way, but the cold mirror mercilessly reminded her that all this was an illusion.

Compared with hallucinations, Anita is more willing to believe that the mirror of Erised shows the scene of the parallel world. In the countless parallel worlds, there may be an Anita who can have everything she desires but cannot dream of.

Anita opened her hands, watching Anita in the mirror throw herself into the arms of Severus and Lily, she couldn't help but also smiled contentedly, with tears in her eyes.

"Did you realize it's long past curfew, Anita?"

Anita was taken aback. She was immersed in the illusion of the Mirror of Erised, and she had long forgotten that Dumbledore was nearby.Anita turned her head and saw Dumbledore standing behind her, looking intently at the Mirror of Erised.

"Sorry, I forgot the time."

"It's okay. People are always prone to be addicted to the images shown by the Mirror of Erised." Dumbledore still looked at the mirror, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes, but they disappeared quickly.

"I show not your face but your heart's desire? (I show not your face but your heart's desire?)"

"Oh, yes. It seems that you have discovered the secret of the Mirror of Erised." Dumbledore turned to look at Anita, his eyes were wise and sharp, as if he could see through everything, "Then what did you see?" Woolen cloth?"

"I saw my parents." Anita said, looking into Dumbledore's eyes.Anita didn't have the confidence to lie in front of Dumbledore without being discovered by him, so she chose to tell the truth, concealing some of the truth.

Anita turned and ran her hands over the mirror and said, "This mirror is cruel, isn't it? It shows me deep down real longings that I never knew existed, but at the same time it makes me soberly aware of my Desires can never be realized. Between me and the picture in the mirror is not only separated by this layer of mirror, but also separated by a different space, separated by life and death, and it will never be possible to have a day together.”

"You are sober." Dumbledore's tone was appreciative, "Many people are willing to be deceived by mirrors, indulging in illusions that will never be obtained."

Anita shook her head, "Actually, I'm not that clear-headed. But I'm glad that I'm so happy in the mirror. The parents in the mirror belong to me in the mirror. In reality, I still have my real dad, don't you?"

Dumbledore nodded with a smile. "Interesting theory, strange but reasonable. You should go back to sleep now, though. I'll pretend I didn't see you on your night tour."

"This mirror, why is it here?" Anita asked, wondering how Dumbledore would explain it.

"Oh, this mirror has some other interesting functions, and I'm about to move it to its proper place." Dumbledore winked mischievously at Anita, "However, you have to be considerate that an old man will always There were moments when he was physically weak, especially when he had to carry such a heavy mirror."

Anita secretly rolled her eyes in her heart.

"So what did you see, Professor Dumbledore?"

"I saw myself holding a pair of woolen socks and I didn't get a pair for Christmas."

"It's really not easy to choose a gift sometimes. Maybe you can try giving woolen socks to others first, so that others will know that you want woolen socks. Good night, Professor Dumbledore." Anita finished speaking without looking at Deng Bulidor's reaction turned directly into Slytherin's dormitory.
