The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

Chapter 63 What’s in the Mirror

"A big mirror."

"A mirror?"

"The point is what's in the mirror," George said: "We don't see our reflection in it."

"Did you play rock, paper, scissors with the person in the mirror and lose?"

"That's not true... Hey, what you said is a bit interesting. I think this may be a horror story..."

"We're off topic," DeWitt warned: "Any idea of ​​our big plan? Or keep talking about the mirror."

"Mirror? Yes," Fred said: "The scene in the mirror was magical... very magical. I saw George and I opening a store in it."

George happily answered: "That's what I saw."

DeWitt was stunned for a moment, then he realized that what the twins saw in the mirror were opening a shop with their brother.

"What store?" DeWitt asked.

"There's nothing bad to say about that," the twins replied cheerfully: "Our ideal is to open a shop selling some weird props."

"So you're looking in the mirror and seeing your dreams come true?"

"Yes, that's it," the twins said one after another: "We then began to investigate the mirror and found that it should be something called the Mirror of Erised, whose function is to reflect the user's inner thoughts.

Desire - any desire will do."

"No one knows who made the mirror, and no one knows when it was made."

"It's good that people can see their wishes come true in the mirror, but if you add a prerequisite..."

"What's in the mirror is an illusion, so all this is meaningless."

"Take me to see it, can you?" DeWitt was very interested in this. He liked all kinds of magical things. Even if it was a lamp in the sand, he would wipe it when he saw it. Like the elves in the lamp,

After chatting for a few words, you won’t regret it even if you have to fight next.

"That place is quite remote. You can go there during the day...what do you think?" George asked his brother.

"And that's about our prank plan," Fred said solemnly, as if the prank was a good thing that would bring glory to the family: "Sooner rather than later, let's go."

There are many abandoned classrooms in Hogwarts, which makes the remote classrooms in the corners of the castle never accessible to anyone, especially when the door of the classroom is blocked by the load-bearing pillars of the castle.

"It's very hidden." After the twins entered the classroom, DeWitt exited the door and took a look and said, "Who put this mirror here on purpose?"

Unlike the dusty tables and chairs in the classroom, the "Mirror of Erised" as mentioned by the twins is not brand new, but it is absolutely spotless, and a string of letters on the frame is clearly visible.

"Read it backwards," the twins reminded DeWitt.

DeWitt squinted his eyes to distinguish carefully, and read slowly: "What I...showed...is not your face...but your desire?"

"Look in the mirror." The twins couldn't wait any longer. Looking in the mirror became a ritual. It would be bad if anyone missed it. They were also curious about DeWitt's wish.

Not to mention the twins were curious, even DeWitt was curious, because after thinking carefully, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any pursuits - even the purpose of enrolling in school was just to see if he was in any dangerous situation.

Learning magic at Hogwarts feels very good, so is your wish to learn magic? That’s not the case. DeWitt doesn’t feel that his desire to learn magic is very urgent. Even if he is allowed to drop out tomorrow, or the magic suddenly disappears,

It doesn't matter to him. Do you want to return to the continent of Rivellon? DeWitt has trustworthy friends there, but those friends have already had their own satisfactory lives. Even if they haven't contacted each other for many years, they can immediately return to each other if they see each other again.

Of course I miss the last time we were separated, but it’s not urgent.

So what exactly do you desire? You can’t just live an ordinary life in this world until the end of your life, right? It’s not impossible, but it’s still a bit unwilling.

If you're not willing to give in, then be greedy - DeWitt wants them all. He wants to travel freely between the two worlds - maybe there are other worlds - he doesn't want to give up anything. If he thinks so, then

What will be shown in this mirror?

It was as if looking in the mirror now turned into a bomb that was about to explode. It was imminent but at a loss as to what to do, and he didn't know how to deal with it. In the end, he could only face it calmly after a short period of thinking - DeWitt frowned and looked at the mirror.
He saw his face, just like looking into the mirror countless times, without any change, and this situation continued for a while, not short, until Dewitt wanted to ask the twins if the mirror was there.

As he played his own prank, the picture in the mirror changed.

Is it ripples on the mirror, or is there fog on the other side of the mirror? DeWitt can't remember the process as soon as he looked at it. He is now staring at the mirror with all his concentration, and he doesn't even use the "Calm and Peace of Mind" spell -

-DeWitt is more curious about his sincerity than the risks that arise from it. If there are any consequences, he is willing to bear them--After defeating Quirrell and Voldemort who possessed Quirrell, DeWitt

He has a lot of confidence, and his behavior will become a bit risky.

Slowly, DeWitt's expression changed unusually. He opened his mouth several times to say a few words, but then changed his mind. He pulled at the corners of his mouth as if he had a toothache and leaned back, wanting to see but not wanting to.

- This made the twins even more curious, but they knew how to take care of DeWitt's feelings and did not disturb him.

This state lasted until DeWitt took a few steps back, pinching the bridge of his nose and rubbing it. The twins couldn't see DeWitt's eyes covered by shadows, and they only felt that the atmosphere at the moment was very strange, but their curiosity still made them Breaking the silence, he asked: "How do you feel...?"

"A little surprised," DeWitt said tiredly: "Do you want to listen? I saw a lot of things...ah, I don't even know where to start...let me straighten it out..."

In fact, DeWitt didn't really want to say it, because what he saw reminded him of the past - there was once an opportunity to become an Oracle, but DeWitt had no choice. In the end, except for what his comrades said, I understand, others are disappointed or indifferent, but Oracle is not only a title that can be commemorated for thousands of years, but also represents eternal life and strength. So DeWitt is really a contradictory person. Sometimes he cares about everything, and sometimes he cares about everything. He will appear to be very...selfless, and selflessness here has both a derogatory and a complimentary meaning.

"If you don't want to say it, we will understand," the twins gently bumped DeWitt with their shoulders and comforted him: "Don't have any psychological burden, ideals are a private matter."

This is probably what people like about the twins. Their jokes, in the eyes of wizards in the magical world, don't seem too excessive, and they are very considerate during the communication process.

Ignore it for now, what DeWitt saw in the mirror was very complicated, and even now he has not fully grasped every detail of it.
