Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 58 Encounter with the Magic Mirror
"You found a mirror? And saw your parents in it?"

Dylan took a small plate of black currants and elderberries that looked like grapes, picked one up and put it in his mouth.

Harry nodded repeatedly: "That mirror can reflect my parents, they are standing behind me!"

As if lost in some memory, Harry murmured, "They look so pretty when they smile."

Ron joined in when Harry was halfway through his sentence, his eyes wide open as he picked up a piece of bread. "What a magical experience! Why didn't you ask me to come along?"

"I'd also like to know what your parents look like. My brother said they're heroes!"

Harry smiled happily: "Well, how about we go again tonight?"

"This way, I can see your family members directly."

Harry also received gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley at Christmas, and yesterday he felt that this was the best Christmas he had ever had!

"That's nothing. Otherwise, you can just come to my house during the summer vacation." Ron said nonchalantly.

Harry agreed immediately.

Then Ron looked at Dylan again: "What about you, Dylan? Do you want to come along when the time comes? There are gnomes in my back garden, we can play with them!"

"Or chase pixies. Oh, and my parents will also hide some magic treasures! We could spend lots of time looking for them!"

Dylan blinked.

Looking at Harry and Ron's expectant eyes, he thought that his parents were busy making money and living in a world of two, and maybe they even wanted to give him a younger brother or sister.

He hummed in his heart, then nodded: "Okay, we can play together during the summer vacation."

"Great! Don't read those boring books every day, otherwise my mother will use you as an example to criticize me." Ron chuckled.

"I'll try my best." Dylan didn't finish his words.

Harry then said, "Dylan, do you want to come with us tonight? We can also visit your parents together!"

"forget it."

He had thought of the Mirror of Erised when Harry had told him yesterday about the Invisibility Cloak.

The full name of this mirror is "The Mirror of Erised".

"Erised" is the reverse spelling of the word "desire" and is the goddess of discord in mythology.

Therefore, this is a mirror that can reflect the strongest desires in a person's heart.

Dylan was indeed slightly interested in this, but he was not sure what would be reflected in the mirror.

The magic mirror does not simply reflect a person's family as Harry thinks.

What if something strange is projected onto him in the mirror?

It doesn't matter if Harry and Ron see it.

The key point is, it is impossible for Old Deng not to be peeping nearby.

If something bad was projected into the magic mirror and Dumbledore saw it, wouldn't he be in trouble?
"Ah, you really aren't going?"

"Well, I've already made an appointment with Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall."

"Hey, didn't you make an appointment with Professor Snape?"

"……No."

"it's a pity!"

Dylan finished eating the fruit and then prepared to go to Professor Snape's office.

This arrogant little snotty kid really needs to be coaxed.

Dylan knocked on the door and coaxed Professor Snape with sweet words for a long time. Only then did he practice potions in Snape's office for a whole day.

The next day, after finishing his morning class with Professor Flitwick, Professor Flitwick first talked to him about some things about Defense Against the Dark Arts.

I have to say, as expected of a professor who graduated from Ravenclaw, he is indeed quite capable. Sometimes he can always make sharp suggestions that confuse Dylan.

In the afternoon, Dylan discussed the Transfiguration Spell with Professor McGonagall again. Professor McGonagall did not allow him to continue studying the Entropy Distortion Spell.

But I also had an in-depth discussion with him about the theories of spell shaping and secondary control.

Just before dusk, Dylan came out of Professor McGonagall's office and planned to have a quick meal and go back to consolidate the knowledge he had gained that day.

But halfway through, I came across an empty classroom with only a floor-to-ceiling mirror.

"Huh?" Dylan was stunned.

The door of the classroom was not completely open, but only half closed, but when he passed by, he could see the mirror inside at a glance.

Dylan couldn't help but stop.

"Is this the abandoned classroom Harry was talking about?"

I took a look inside and it really looked like it.

“Is the location of this classroom so conspicuous?”

Dylan couldn't help but raise his brow.

"Hmm... maybe it was something that Old Dumbledore deliberately arranged after returning the Invisibility Cloak to Harry?"

He had refused to come with Harry to look in the mirror yesterday, but since he had met him today...

Dylan looked around but couldn't see Harry.

"Harry's not here, so Old Man Dumbledore shouldn't be here either."

Dylan hesitated at the door for a moment, then slipped into the classroom and closed the door gently.

"Look in the mirror once, achieve something, and I don't know what the reward will be."

Dylan looked around, then walked around the mirror three times with his wand in hand, without feeling any other prying aura.

Feeling slightly relieved, he slowly stood in front of the mirror.

Look at the words engraved above.

Looking back—

"What I present is not your face, but the desire of your heart."

Dylan stared into the mirror.

The surface of the magic mirror seemed to be covered with a layer of light mist, and when his figure was completely reflected in the magic mirror, the mist gradually dissipated and the picture gradually became clear.

A spring afternoon.

Dylan and his parents left their cramped little home and moved into a villa instead.

He no longer lived in that small basement. Instead, he woke up from a big bed and walked to the back garden in the lazy morning sunshine.

His parents were carefully placing various delicious foods on the long table in the garden. Two small figures, who looked like his younger brothers and sisters, were running and laughing on the grass, and... fighting goblins.

Dylan blinked.

Do his parents really want to give him a younger sister?

No, I really hope my parents will give me a younger sister?

Suddenly, the image in the magic mirror fluctuated again.

A large group of people passed by their garden.

Dylan and his parents welcomed everyone in.

Hermione was holding a thick illustrated book of magical plants and telling Dylan about the magical plants growing around them.

Harry and Ron joined his brothers and sisters in fighting goblins.

Neville, Seamus, George...

Dylan also saw Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick...

Professor Snape's expression was still serious, but when Dylan's parents greeted him, he showed a kind smile.

"Garden party." Dylan smiled.
