Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Figures began to appear in the empty mirror.

Harry took two steps back and covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from screaming.

He saw in the mirror that there were people standing behind him.

But Harry was extremely sure that when he came in, he was the only one in the room!

Even though there were ghosts in Hogwarts, meeting him in this situation still made Harry's heart beat like a drum.

Harry gasped and turned around slowly.

no one!

There is no one behind him!

Harry turned back stiffly and cautiously approached the mirror.

The mirror reflected him.His face was pale, his eyes were frightened, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.Then, in the mirror, the shadows of a dozen people appeared behind him.

Harry turned his head sharply and looked behind him - there was still no one there.

Do they also have invisibility cloaks?

Could it be that this mirror could reflect the invisibility of an invisibility cloak, but there were actually a dozen people in the room wearing invisibility cloaks like him?

Harry slowly lowered his invisibility cloak.

The image of himself in the mirror remained unchanged—nor did the dozen or so people standing behind him.

He looked carefully in the mirror again.A woman standing behind him was smiling and waving at him.

He stretched out his hand and groped behind him.

If that woman really existed, whether she was wearing an invisibility cloak or not, he should at least be able to touch her.

But he only touched a ball of air.There was no one standing behind him.That woman doesn't exist either.

That woman, and those dozen people, should only exist in the mirror.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

He studied the woman carefully.

She is a beautiful woman with dark red hair, and her eyes are particularly charming - just like his, they are green, like the warm wind in spring, gentle and tolerant.

Next to the woman is a man with black hair. The man is a little thin. He puts an arm around the woman.

The man was wearing a pair of very retro glasses - Harry had seen similar glasses in a photo of Uncle Dursley's house.

The man's hair was disheveled, and there was a bunch of hair standing up disobediently on his head, making him look a little dazed.

Just like Harry's!

Harry couldn't help but move his head silently, and he did the same thing in the mirror, which looked a little funny.

Harry leaned forward, his nose almost touching the mirror.

"Mom?" he whispered, "Dad?"

People in the mirror looked at him and smiled at him kindly.

Harry slowly looked at the other faces in the mirror one by one and found that they all had the same green eyes and noses as him.

these are my family members.

Harry thought this and looked at his family blankly.

It was the first time in his life that he saw his family.

It was no longer just a name, nor was it crowded together with a lot of unrelated people - the people here were all his relatives.

It's like a Potter family portrait!

The Potter family smiled and waved at Harry, as if they were saying hello to him.

Harry stared at them with wide eyes. He wanted to reach out and touch them, shake their hands.

So he did.

But what his fingers touched was just the cold mirror surface.

He felt a twinge inside.

He stood in front of the mirror and looked, but couldn't get enough.

He stood there for an unknown amount of time, holding the edge of the mirror tightly with both hands, his lips moving and saying something silently.

It wasn't until there was a sound in the distance that Harry realized that he had to go back to sleep.

"I will come to see you again."

Harry whispered.

He waved to the Potter family in the mirror and said goodbye reluctantly.

He was about to put on the invisibility cloak, but when he turned around, he saw a tall and thin figure.

Harry's heart skipped a beat and he took two steps back, almost hitting the mirror.

Alexis was awakened by the movement made by Harry. He recovered from the illusion in the mirror, took a step forward, and supported Harry.

"Mr. Alexis?"

Harry exclaimed.

At this time, he felt very complicated. He was relieved that the person who came was Alexis - Alexis was the teacher who tolerated their violations of school rules the most, but he was also worried about meeting Alexis. Feeling flustered.

"What did you see in there?"

Alexis's face was obscured in the darkness, his expression unreadable, and his voice came slowly from the darkness.

Harry looked back at the empty mirror and shook his head subconsciously.

Then he woke up and felt a pang of regret in Harry's heart.

This was Alexis who was the best to him, how could he lie to him?

He and his father are good friends. If he knew that he could see his father in this mirror, he would be very happy!

Harry looked down shyly, ashamed of his own lie.

"This mirror—" Alexis stepped past Harry and came to the mirror, reaching out and touching each letter on the mirror. "It's called the Mirror of Erised."

"Mirror of Erised?"

Harry exclaimed, turning his head to look at Alexis' back.

"You know it?"

Alexis nodded, pulled a chair from the side, dusted it off and sat down.

He pulled it casually, and the pile of tables and chairs stacked together was already shaky, but when he pulled one away so hastily, it immediately fell apart and collapsed, making a rumbling sound.

This startled Harry and he looked nervously at the door.

"Don't be nervous, most people can't find this room."

Alexis waved her hand and explained.

He sat on the chair, stretched his muscles and spoke.

"The Mirror of Erised is said to reflect people's truest desires."

"Harry, what do you see in there?"

"I saw—" Harry paused for a moment and whispered, "I saw my family."

Alexis nodded, an unexpected expression appearing on his face covered in darkness.

What Harry longs for most is to see his family. Seeing his family in the Mirror of Erised is the most normal situation.

Like him, there are only a few people who see themselves burning the entire Azkaban with a fire shield and intensifying the fire curse.

"Harry, this mirror -" Alexis pointed to the Mirror of Erised behind her, "the things in it are all illusions."

"You should have seen it. In that secret room, the one where the Philosopher's Stone is hidden, do you remember?"

After being reminded by Alexis, Harry suddenly remembered.

No wonder he didn't think of it immediately.That time, because he was tied up by Quirrell as soon as he entered the door, he had no chance to get close to the Mirror of Erised. He only saw it from a distance.

Later, Alexis and Quirrell + Voldemort were fighting so fiercely that Harry had no time to get close to the mirror.

"It can give people hope, but let's be clear, its hope is false."

Harry listened to Alexis copying Dumbledore's exact words with some understanding, nodded in confusion, and then asked

"Mr. Alexis, what do you see in there?"

Alexis choked.

How come this child stayed with Hermione for so long, learning from the good and the bad?He specializes in Hermione's questioning skills, right?

"I didn't see anything in there."

Alexis' face was hidden in the shadows, and paired with his pretentious tone, he looked mysterious and unpredictable.

"A person with a truly strong heart will not believe in the Mirror of Erised. A person with a strong heart will fight for what they want, and it will naturally not be able to reflect it."

Alexis fooled Harry without changing her expression or heartbeat.

Harry nodded and looked at Alexis with a change in his eyes.

This look of admiration worked very well for Alexis, and he rubbed Harry's head.

"So, Harry, don't come looking for the Mirror of Erised in the future, it will make people fall into false hope."

"How are you practicing the Patronus Charm?" Alexis suddenly asked, changing the subject. "I heard Snape said that you couldn't practice it at all with him?"

Harry became anxious and quickly drew out his wand.

"I've succeeded. If you don't believe it, look at it."

As he said that, he closed his eyes and remembered the feeling of being with his family just now - even though he already knew that it was an illusory family, he still felt very happy.

"Call God to Guard"

Wisps of silver-white fluorescence flew out like gauze, covering a small area in front of the two of them, looking very charming.
