Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 172 The Magic Mirror Changes
"Come on, Moon. Hagrid sent Hedwig a letter for you."

As soon as he entered the portrait hole in the common room, Harry ran over and handed him a letter.

Moon took it curiously at first, then noticed that Ron and Hermione seemed to be waiting for him on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

"Thank you."

Moon had just taken the letter and was about to open it when Ron came over and asked curiously.

"Moon, why don't you buy an owl?"

Ron remembered very clearly that Moon was a generous little wizard who was willing to give away his gold galleons.

The price of an owl should not be a big deal to Moon.

"Yes, owls can not only deliver letters, but also give gifts to friends at Christmas."

Harry also agreed with Ron very much, although he was not sure whether he would receive any gifts for Christmas.

Moon had never thought about buying an owl before. In his opinion, having Pengpeng was enough.

But Moon was surprised by Harry's words.

"Do we still need to give gifts at Christmas?"

Moon asked quietly.

"Of course! Not only will you give gifts, but you'll also receive a lot of gifts from your friends."

Ron actually loves this festival very much. Even though the most expensive gift he receives every year is an old-fashioned sweater, he still enjoys it.

Hermione, who had already walked over at this time, immediately caught the loophole in Moon's words.

"Didn't you ever celebrate Christmas?"

Moon was afraid that the little witch would immediately reply, "And you still say you're not a homeless man's son."

So he immediately gave an answer against his will.

"Of course I did."

"Well, I hope you're telling the truth."

Hearing Moon's perfunctory answer, Hermione pretended to be indifferent and sat back on the sofa.

She already knew that her classmate had a secret, and she had already planned to start exploring Moon's secret.

Moon did not celebrate Christmas, but there was a similar festival in another world.

In the small town of Xilin, Moon remembers the three most important festivals.

Bath and Fast Festival, Sabbath Festival, Harvest Festival.

At the end of each autumn, during the Harvest Festival, neighbors in Veteran Lane would give each other some of the year's best crops.

Moon supposed it was about the same as Christmas.

"Actually, Christmas not only gives you gifts, but you also get two weeks of vacation, starting next weekend. Do you want to stay at school, Moon?"

Harry had actually signed up to spend Christmas at school, and he was very sure that doing so would allow him to have the best Christmas possible.

Ron and his two twin brothers would also stay, as the Weasleys were going to Romania to visit Charlie, the dragon owner.

"Let me think about it."

Moon couldn't be sure yet.

He would disappear from the dorm for three minutes on weekend nights.

During the Christmas holidays, the little wizards will inevitably party and stay up late.

By then the chances of him being discovered would be very high.

"Well, the registration list doesn't close until next week anyway, but how about we go check out the Mirror of Erised tonight? Harry said he'd feel more at ease with you around."

Moon certainly knew what Ron meant by feeling more at ease.

He looked at the curious eyes of the two little wizards in front of him, and the equally hopeful expression on Hermione sitting opposite him, and Moon nodded helplessly.

"Okay, but we have to be back soon."

Touring the castle at night means delaying bedtime, and delaying bedtime will delay getting up early tomorrow, which will eventually affect the time for learning magic.

So Moon wasn't very interested in things like touring the castle at night.

But considering the requests of his three friends, he had no choice but to agree.

The only thing Moon can do now is to balance all his time and try not to delay his progress in learning magic.

After seeing Moon agree, Harry and Ron clapped their hands happily.

In their opinion, with Moon joining the team, the plan of night tour of the castle was more than half successful.

Moon was not paying attention to the two little wizards all the time. Noticing that they were talking about other things, Moon opened the letter sent by Hagrid.
-
Moon, I've got a really unique little idea, but I could use a little help from you.

If you have time, you can come to the cabin next to the forbidden forest on Wednesday afternoon.

Hagrid—
After reading the contents of the letter, Moon guessed that Hagrid's little idea should not be small.

After all, for this tall Forbidden Forest guard, the range he could gesture with was much smaller than that of ordinary people.

But Moon was more curious about what this idea was, so he immediately wrote back to Hagrid.

After drying the ink on the paper, Moon borrowed Harry's Hedwig and made a hard trip.

For this, Moon paid two strands of flame snail meat as a reward.

After 11 o'clock in the evening, the little wizards in the Gryffindor common room began to return to their dormitories one after another.

After Wood returned to the dormitory with the newly researched Quidditch game record book, only the four young wizards who had been planning for a long time were left in the common room.

"Let's go, there's no one left~"

Although this was his second night tour of the castle, Ron was still a little excited.

Even though they were still in the common room and hadn't left yet, he kept his voice low.

"Don't worry, just follow me."

After coming out of the portrait gate, Moon became the leader of this night tour team.

With a memory far superior to others, Moon was able to accurately recall the route he and Harry took back last night.

Even though the stairs had changed dozens of times during this time, Moon was still able to tell the direction through the tiny differences.

After walking down the five changing stairs, nothing went wrong, which made the nervous little wizard relax a lot.

“It doesn’t seem that difficult!”

Ron was worried that something might go wrong when there were more people around. After all, there were only four of them last time and they were almost caught by Filch.

"It's not that difficult, but it depends on who you go with."

Hermione had been following Moon closely. After hearing what Ron said, she frowned and replied.

But just after Hermione finished speaking, Harry suddenly discovered something very familiar to him.

A tall suit of silver armor.

"Right here! I knew your abilities were perfect for exploring the castle at night."

After Harry confirmed the armor, he looked at Moon with some envy.

"Yes, if there is a next time."

Ron wanted to say something else, but Moon had already entered the abandoned classroom.

Finding the magic mirror still there, Moon took out his wand and cast a [Lumos

"You can watch first, I will be in charge of the alert."

"Okay, I'll go first."

"Then you need to be quick."

Moon didn't care about the order of the little wizards. He first took his wand to the place where the footprints were found yesterday.

What Moon worried about finally happened.

The half footprint that originally existed completely disappeared.

Moon took out his wand and shone it around again, but found nothing.

"Has anyone else been here?"

When Moon first discovered the footprints, he wasn't sure when they were left. After all, this was an abandoned classroom, and they might have been left there by someone long ago.

But now only one day has passed and half of the slipper print has disappeared, which only proves that someone has been here on that day.

After using the [Luminescent Spell] without finding anything, Moon took out his monocular and looked around worriedly.

In the entire classroom, apart from the Mirror of Erised emitting pale white magical energy, there was indeed nothing else to be found.

Moon Enzai checked the entire classroom before turning to look at his three classmates.

Harry still saw his parents and a large group of family members in the magic mirror.

Ron saw his grown-up self.

"Oh, look! I'm Head Boy, and I'm wearing Bill's old badge, and I'm holding the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup, and I'm the captain of the Quidditch team!"

Ron's tone became more and more excited, and in the end even he couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.

"What happens in this mirror is definitely my future!"

Ron said excitedly again.

However, the two little wizards next to him looked at him strangely.

"The book says that the Mirror of Erised only reveals people's desires. Also, Ron, you'd better keep your voice down."

Hermione reminded him impatiently. She really couldn't stand boys who liked to brag.

“But I am too real in this.”

Ron would not give up his guess because of what others said.

But just when he wanted to look at it for a while longer, Hermione couldn't wait to stand in front of the mirror.

"Oh, wait, I haven't seen enough."

Seeing Hermione's back appear in front of him, Ron's voice unconsciously became louder.

"Keep your voice down, Ron."

After hearing Moon's reminder, Ron was reluctant to leave the range of the Mirror of Erised.

"What did you see, Hermione?"

"I think I became a professor, teaching Transfiguration! I also published many books, appeared in newspapers, and had many interviews with people."

After seeing Hermione's surprised and satisfied expression, Moon's resentment towards the mirror grew.

He couldn't understand why his classmates saw themselves, but Moon saw a cracked scarlet moon and those strange scenes.

However, Hermione's will was also very firm. She only stood in front of the magic mirror for three minutes before walking away on her own initiative.

"I think what the book says is right. Mirrors do far more harm than good. They can make people addicted and become completely impractical."

Although Hermione's explanation was correct, it did not at all hinder Harry and Ron's eagerness to see it again.

Seeing the two little wizards still pushing each other, Hermione said helplessly.

"Wait a moment, Moon hasn't seen it yet."

After Hermione finished speaking, the three little wizards turned their heads and stared at Moon.

Moon, who was originally on guard, was actually hesitant.

After all, the scene he saw was too strange and had nothing to do with him.

However, seeing that everyone made room for him, Moon walked over on his own accord.

"No. How come everything has changed?"

"What has changed?"

Moon did not answer Harry's question immediately, he just stared at the scene in the magic mirror.

Feiyue still looks the same as before, but the original very obvious crack has become much smaller.

The big willow tree, which was originally pitch black and looked like a ghost, also regained some green color.

The most important thing is that the originally black Thestral has now turned into a unicorn.

"why is that?"

"What exactly did you see?"

After seeing Moon's expression change, Hermione asked worriedly.

"It's about the same as last night, but there are some big changes."

After Moon described what he had seen, Hermione thought for a moment and then spoke solemnly.

"If the Mirror of Erised reflects human desires, then I believe everyone's desires are also subject to change."

Hearing Hermione's uncertain tone, Ron added before Moon could respond.

“What’s in the mirror must be the future, because the future will also change.”

However, his point of view obviously could not be agreed by the rigorous Hermione.

The two young wizards were arguing louder and louder, and Harry took this opportunity to stand in front of the mirror.

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps suddenly coming from the corridor outside.

"Hurry up, let's leave!"

After hearing Moon's reminder, several young wizards quickly caught up with the team and ran towards the distant stairs.

It was just after they walked up two flights of stairs that Mrs. Norris led Filch to this classroom.

"Meow~" (Where are the people?)
After sniffing hard for a while and finding that the familiar smell was gradually dissipating, Mrs. Loris left reluctantly.

"It's okay, dear. We can look for it somewhere else."

Filch did not blame Mrs. Norris, but followed his cat out of the classroom.

Shortly after they left, a pair of large footprints appeared on the ground in front of the Mirror of Erised.

"It seems that what Fox said is right. Perhaps we can really catch this fleeting meteor."

When this old voice sounded in the abandoned classroom, Moon and the others had already returned to the portrait door.

After checking the password, the Fat Lady complained impatiently about the little wizards who went out late at night.

"Can you please not disturb my sleep in the future?"

"Okay, we'll try our best."

"It's not about trying, it's about making sure, kid."

When I entered the lounge again, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

They were not discovered by anyone along the way, but when they were about to enter the dormitory, they were blocked by a small animal.

"Chiji~" (I caught you~)

After winter came, Bengbeng slept longer and longer.

When it woke up tonight and found that Moon had not come back, it thought that a new game of hide-and-seek had begun.

So it began to search for Moon's traces in the common room.
"You are so awesome."

Moon picked up Bengbeng from the ground, then turned to look at the others.

"You guys should go back and rest."

After seeing several little wizards leave, Bengbeng tried hard to open his eyes wide and look at Moon.

"Chi?" (Going out for an adventure?)

"how do you know."

"Chirp~" (Mrs. Norris told me.)
When Bengbeng said this, he raised his head, as if to say, I knew it a long time ago.

"Oh, so Mrs. Norris is a little cat that likes to tell tales. I guess I should have less contact with her in the future."

"Chirp!" (No!)

On the way back to the dormitory, Bengbeng kept defending Mrs. Loris.

It was afraid that its good friend would be misunderstood by others because of its words.
