Chapter 15 Magic Mirror

On the last night of Christmas vacation, Mu Yu sat quietly in the restricted book section of the library.

Since Tom left, she has become obsessed with sneaking into the restricted area to read at midnight.

At least she could secretly try some magic that would not be taught in class in the forbidden book area at night when no one was around.

They're more powerful and more fun.

Only powerful magic can fill the hole that was formed at some point.

Just then, she saw a suspended lantern in the long corridor of the forbidden book area. Mu Yu narrowed her eyes and raised her wand: "Who?"

The lantern trembled obviously, but still no one appeared.

Mu Yu's figure was shrouded in the half-dark shadow of the lantern, looking particularly eerie in the weak moonlight.

Harry took off his invisibility cloak: "Yu, it's me."

"Harry" Mu Yu put down her wand. She was a little annoyed at being disturbed, and she rarely spoke with anger: "Merlin, what are you doing in the forbidden book area at night?"

Harry looked at her helplessly, as if she was someone who stayed up late at night.

Mu Yu's expression suddenly changed, and she lowered her voice: "Put on that clothes quickly, quickly."

The moment Harry put on the invisibility cloak, Mu Yu also disappeared. Harry rubbed his eyes. Mu Yu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "I'm right next to you. Filch." Harry immediately fell silent, and Mu Yu waved his hand and the light of the lamp disappeared. Filch's voice was clearly audible.

"Professor, you said that if someone is wandering around at night, they will report to you immediately. Someone was obviously in the restricted area of ​​the library just now."

Mu Yu complained in a low voice. Damn it, she saw Snape and Filch. He was muttering something there. It seems that there are many people who don't like to sleep at night. It was just Snape, what on earth was he going to do.

They stepped back step by step. There was an empty classroom on the left. Mu Yu raised his wand and the door opened gently without any sound. Harry breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Yu's magic talisman also failed at this time, and she showed her figure.

This is a messy abandoned classroom, with dusty debris piled everywhere. There's only one mirror that doesn't fit in with everything around it. A very majestic mirror, reaching to the ceiling, with a gorgeous golden frame. Harry walked closer to the mirror and slowly covered his mouth. There was a crowd of people standing behind him.

"Yu, have you seen it?"

He pointed to the mirror and looked behind him. There were only two of them in the empty classroom. Harry leaned close to the mirror: "Dad, Mum."

He said softly.

Mu Yu stood calmly behind Harry, her figure also reflected in the mirror, but she was not the only one.

She was playing carefree with a group of children, and there was a cheerful smile on her face that she had never seen before. Such a smile would never appear on her.

The warm sunshine shone on the playground, and they laughed heartily, perhaps even promising childish vows.

This was the light she longed for but could never get.

Mu Yu stroked the mirror. She wanted to touch the little girl with the happiest smile, and she wanted to see the bright smile on her face more clearly.

She couldn't see clearly.

"Harry. It's time to go back. I think Filch is gone." She walked away from the mirror.

Harry still looked in disbelief: "Did you see it? Did you see my parents? They were waving to me."

Mu Yu was silent for a long time. She clearly felt Harry's loss and hesitation at this time. .

Mu Yu had already experienced the feeling of losing his parents at birth. She felt it even more thoroughly than Harry. It's rare that someone loses a parent and is told at the age of eleven that his grandfather killed his father and that his father was an inhumane bastard.

Harry's face was still filled with an excited smile. Mu Yu imitated the little girl in the mirror and wanted to raise such a bright and bright smile, even though it was nothing like it: "Yes, I saw it. They are very kind."

Her whole body was shrouded in the shadow of the backlight, and no one could see her smile. Only then did Harry realize that Mu Yu had also lost his parents early.

Mu Yu actually did not leave with Harry. After making sure that Harry was completely out of sight, she returned to the abandoned and empty classroom.

She looked at the girl with a bright smile in the mirror over and over again, the girl who laughed freely with everyone, the girl who enjoyed a carefree childhood.

She could not touch such light. Only through the cold glass could she feel such warmth for a moment.

No torture, no fear, no manipulation, just friendship and simplicity.

As if a gust of wind blew by, the classroom door creaked. Mu Yu turned around alertly: "Who?"

"It's not a good thing to be overly obsessed with this mirror."

"Helena" Mu Yu stood up, "Ghost likes it so much." Are you wandering around?"

Helena floated in front of Mu Yu, looking at the mirror with sad eyes: "A ghost's life is actually very boring."

The mirror reflected the wantonly laughing little girl in Mu Yu's eyes.

"This mirror seems to have magic power."

Helena was still staring at the smooth mirror. After a while, she finally seemed to make up her mind to stop looking at the mirror: "The Mirror of Erised can reflect the truest part of a person's heart. Desire. Only truly happy and happy people can see themselves in the mirror. So, little girl, this mirror is not a good thing. It makes people indulge in illusion and forget reality."

Mu Yu said softly: "I understand. ." He said this without any intention of leaving.

Helena sighed leisurely: "Olivia likes this mirror. She should be one of the few people who can resist the charm of the Mirror of Erised. She likes this mirror as a pastime, but never indulges in it. Even though her desire is stronger than most people's. "

This is the second time she has heard this name.

"Who is Olivia?"

Helena floated away slowly at this moment, so fast that Mu Yu had no time to catch her: "You have too many questions. If you don't want to be caught wandering at night, do it now It's time to go back."

Lingering in the forbidden book area could not relieve her irritability. Since Tom left, all she had in her dreams was that dark corridor.

What's worse is that this time she doesn't even have the only person she can say a few words to.

She had been hiding her temper so well that no one could notice her temper. Of course, under such circumstances, there is still no progress in the Patronus Charm.

This annoyance reached its peak in the library in the afternoon. The gloomy sky seemed to be brewing a violent storm, and there was not even a breath of wind in the air.

Mu Yu flipped through the pages of the book at random, but for some reason he couldn't read a single word. There was a commotion at the library door.

"Oh, I've wanted to try this spell for a long time." Malfoy raised his wand to the trembling Neville, and he muttered a spell in a low voice. Neville's legs quickly became knotted and he lost his balance. He fell to the ground.

Many people chuckled.

Mu Yu closed his eyes, how similar they were.

"Malfoy." She pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, waved her wand to lift the curse, and pointed the wand at Malfoy.

"Don't make me curse you."

Malfoy visibly flinched when he saw Mu Yu, but he still frowned and said, "What, you want to stand up for him? I don't know when you became so close to Gryffindor."

Mu Yu originally just wanted to be a kid . I tried to toss him a little, but I saw Neville sitting on the ground cowering, and the people around him laughed at his embarrassment, but no one came forward to help him. This exhausted Mu Yu's limited patience.

The moment she put down her wand, Mu Yu quietly moved her fingers. She hadn't used the magic array for a long time since that time.

She had always been curious about how long Malfoy could last under this illusion.

Mu Yu manipulated this illusion wantonly. She was really tired of the trouble Malfoy caused her from time to time. First, countless ice picks pierced Malfoy's body and pinned him to the wall. Then, the wall suddenly burst into flames, burning his skin. He soon smelled the burning aroma.

Stop, stop. A voice said in Mu Yu's ear. It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this.

Why not? Hatred will give him strength. Only by destroying his will will he not even dare to have hatred. Mu Yu rubbed his brows in pain.

This feeling is so pleasant, manipulating people's pain at will. No one will notice, no one will notice, everything is under her control.

Mu Yu's movements were very small, but to outsiders, Malfoy seemed to have been tortured, rolling on the ground, screaming and sobbing, and there was no trace of his image at all. He first cursed Mu Yu, and soon begged Mu Yu to let him go without dignity.

The magic formation stopped, and Mu Yu's face turned particularly pale. Everyone was silent, Mu Yu didn't recite a spell, no one could even see her movements, and Malfoy didn't even have a single scratch on his body. Mu Yu approached him: "Mr. Malfoy, this is the Eastern magic you have been dreaming about. Now you finally experience it, how does it feel?"

Malfoy collapsed on the ground and gasped for air. Pansy next to him screamed: "I will tell Dean Snape. You used a curse!"

Mu Yu just wanted to leave now, but she still maintained her gentleness: "With so many people present, did anyone see me using the wand on him? The wound was just a few rolls on the ground."

Malfoy's scream just now was still vivid in his mind, but Mu Yu said lightly that it was just a few rolls, and everyone trembled.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she heard a deep laughter coming from the crowd.

Mu Yu didn't care what happened to others, she left in a hurry. Only Neville followed her, seemingly wanting to say something. When Mu Yu was about to reach the basement, she turned around and Neville almost bumped into her.

"The Gryffindor lounge doesn't seem to be here."

Neville blushed and finally whispered: "Thank you."

She nodded and was about to turn around. She finally couldn't bear it when she looked at Neville's cowering look. Stop, and said to Neville's leaving back: "Neville, you can't expect someone to help you solve your troubles. You have to stand up for yourself." After

thinking for a while, she added: "Be a Glen Find it, Neville."

Just like she did, she solved her own troubles and pulled herself into the abyss.

By the time Neville returned to the common room, word had spread of what Muyu had done to Malfoy. I heard that Malfoy is still talking in a daze now, and Madam Pomfrey thinks that Malfoy is just a little frightened.

"It's just a child's trick." Madam Pomfrey mixed a bottle of tranquilizer for Malfoy to drink, which also sealed the matter.

Mu Yu didn't use any vicious spells on Malfoy, she just used a spell to scare him.

When Ron heard the news, the smile on his face never stopped. Hermione looked at Ron angrily: "Ron, you are no different from being under the Happy Curse now."

Ron ignored Hermione at all. He continued to talk to Harry: "Harry, I bet, Malfoy Absolutely invisible torture. Well done. Malfoy was tortured for a whole year."

Harry couldn't help but smile. There is nothing happier than seeing Malfoy down on his luck. Hermione put down the book at this time and said seriously: "This is a very serious matter. I didn't expect you to take this as a joke. She most likely used an invisible curse, or some mysterious spells from the East, from the East Spells are very vast, but no matter what, these are not things that a first-year student should do. "Hermione's good impression of Mu Yu disappeared because of this incident.

"No matter how wrong Malfoy is, he should not put a curse on a student. She can tell the professor."

Harry muttered: "But it was Malfoy who cast a curse on Neville first. Snape would not do it for Neville deducted Slytherin points, not to mention confining Malfoy."

Neville wanted to say something softly, but no one heard him.

Ron echoed: "And how do you confirm that Yu used a curse? Maybe she really just made Malfoy roll on the ground a few times. Malfoy always likes to show off."

Mu Yu doesn't care how others treat her . think. Malfoy didn't even have the guts to tell any of the teachers. This incident was soon lost in the increasingly tense semester.

Only by immersing himself in countless things, Mu Yu would not dwell on what had happened.

All the professors treated her as before, and she still maintained her gentle and amiable image. It's just that everyone was slightly afraid of her. Even Daphne, who had a relatively close relationship with her, was more cautious when dealing with her. Only Dumbledore, Mu Yu was keenly aware that he cared more about her.

The practice of the Patronus Charm ended again, and this time it was difficult to even spray out a few wisps of white mist.

"Yu, I hope you haven't been troubled recently."

Mu Yu smiled shyly, feeling a little weak from countless exercises: "No. It's just that the exam is about to take place and I'm a little tired."

Dumbledore smiled noncommittally: " I think our practice needs to be suspended for a while. I received an owl from the Ministry of Magic, and I have to go to London next month, and you also have to cope with the exam. It is the most appropriate choice to suspend our training at this time.

" Sipping the hot chocolate, she felt a little nauseated by the hot chocolate now: "Of course, Professor."

"Yu, you have changed a lot."

She raised her head and looked into Dumbledore's deep blue eyes for the first time: "Yeah, maybe I have grown taller. I found that the robe is a bit short. "

Dumbledore was already very shrewd, but after experiencing Tom Riddle's time and space, Mu Yu was only afraid of him. Mu Yu could tell that he was already wary of eleven-year-old Tom Riddle, otherwise he wouldn't have shocked him with the burning wardrobe.

"Yes. It's great to be young." Dumbledore was still kind: "Young people always have countless possibilities and choices. Even if you make the wrong choice, you can start over."

He seemed to be feeling something: "Good night, Yu. "

Mu Yu put away the smile on her face when she walked out of the principal's office. She looked at the huge stone statue at the door of the principal's office and said in her heart: "Maybe I was put on a certain path when I was born. Now... I have gone too far. It’s so far away that we can no longer find the starting point.”
