Noah subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, but he saw nothing except the light falling on the ground.
After a brief silence, Noah turned his head again and saw the figure in the mirror again. This time he clearly saw the person standing behind him.
The man stood back to back with him, with only short black hair and a patterned T-shirt on his back exposed. He was taller than Noah, and his back was unfamiliar yet familiar.
Noah's heart moved, and he saw the person in the mirror suddenly moving. He turned his head as if he noticed something, and after briefly meeting Noah's eyes, he turned around.
Dark brown to almost black eyes and silver-gray eyes meet on the mirror. One of them has a typical oriental yellow appearance, and the other has the appearance of a European and American boy, but they give people a very similar look. It feels like the similarity is not about appearance, but something ethereal like "temperament." The person in the mirror has an expression similar to Noah's, but the indifference in his dark brown eyes is more reserved, which makes him look a lot gentler. In addition, the corners of his eyes are naturally slightly curved, even if he has no expression. Gives people a feeling of being easy to get along with.
Noah carefully looked at the facial features of the person behind him in the mirror, and after a long time he breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s really... I haven’t seen this face for a long time.
The extra person in the mirror is exactly him in his previous life, who died in an accident in his previous life.
After closing his eyes, Noah finally knew what this mirror was - the Mirror of Erised, a magic mirror that could reflect the "desires" and "desires" of the human heart.
This mirror can show the picture that a person most desires to see in his heart, but if he is a person with a strong heart or a happy person, he will only see himself.
But Noah didn't expect that he would also see himself in the mirror, the same two selves. He thought he would see himself wearing a magic robe and becoming a powerful spellcaster.
After looking at it for a while to make sure there was nothing else inside, Noah's expression became less interested.
The self in the previous life is indeed nostalgic, but it was also a past life. He will not dwell on the past, and compared to the previous life, this life is much more interesting.
Just then a voice suddenly sounded: "This mirror is magical, isn't it?"
Noah was startled and suddenly turned his head to look behind him.
The classroom door that was supposed to be closed by him had been pushed open at this moment, and Principal Dumbledore was standing at the door looking at him with a smile.
Noah paused slightly, his mind racing with thoughts, but his face remained calm: "Principal."
Principal Dumbledore walked closer to him and closer to the mirror. His eyes stayed on the mirror for three seconds before moving to Noah: "I guess you have guessed this mirror?"
Noah was silent for a moment, unsure whether the principal was trying something, or maybe he just accidentally found the mirror.
"It's the Mirror of Erised, Headmaster."
Principal Dumbledore looked at him in amazement: "You don't seem attracted to him."
"Because there is nothing I want in it," Noah's gaze paused for a moment on the notch above the frame, "I only saw myself."... Principal Dumbledore was really stunned this time. Li: "That's right."
It took a while for the old man with a gray beard to speak again, and he looked at the mirror and said with unclear meaning: "This is good, it means you are very happy."
Noah did not deny it, and was about to say goodbye and leave when he saw a smile as happy as a child slowly appeared on the professor's face: "It's much better than an old man like me. Oh, it makes me want to eat candy." ”
He skillfully took out a piece from his pocket and wrapped it into a Christmas gift bag. He took out a milk-flavored toffee from inside: "Would you like one?"
Noah declined the principal's offer of snacks and decisively chose to leave.
Principal Dumbledore watched his figure disappear outside the door. After a long time, he removed the smile on his face and looked at the mirror again: "...Maybe Severus is right."
For a moment, he darkly doubted whether the child had lied, because he knew the Mirror of Erised and naturally knew how to deal with the Mirror of Erised. But this momentary thought was quickly suppressed by him.
There was indeed no greed in Noah's eyes. Centenarians knew that look all too well, but Noah didn't have that look.
"I think I finally know what's most different about them."
…
The vacation passed quickly, and Noah's research on Ravenclaw's diadem came to an end for the time being. At least he discovered the secret of permanent magic, which is spiritual power.
This gave Noah good research material. Another topic he was working on recently was the compatibility of ordinary magic and spiritual power.
He was still helpless with Voldemort's soul fragment. This soul fragment not only used the crown as a container, but also integrated with it to a certain extent. However, Noah has not yet figured out the principle of fusion. After all, the crown itself is not A container that can fuse souls is quite weird. This unexplained fusion left Noah at a loss. He could only suspend this research and planned to study the principles of Horcruxes again.
However, because of his previous exchange with Dumbledore, Noah was wary, so he did not touch black magic much for the time being, and just studied his mental power calmly.
Eve was the first to return to school on the first day of school. When she arrived at school, she looked very tired, as if she hadn't had a good rest for several days. In fact, this was indeed the case. The eldest lady was forced to attend more than ten banquets, and one day she even directly attended four banquets.
It sounds like a pretty tiring vacation.
But it also brought a piece of incredible gossip to Noah: "The family headed by Malfoy is impeaching Principal Dumbledore, and the Lestrange family is participating."
Noah: "...Oh."
His plain expression made Eve look at him a few more times: "Shouldn't you feel happy?"
Noah: “…”
Noah reacted for a moment before realizing what she meant. It would indeed be much more convenient if it was replaced by "one of our own".
"Have you found a replacement?"
"That's something the Ministry of Magic needs to worry about." Eve didn't care about that, "and Principal Dumbledore is already old."
Noah didn't answer. He just felt that accidents happened one after another in the school, and the name of "the most powerful wizard" no longer had an absolute deterrent. Moreover, this incident had been going on for a long time, but the family involved this time Just more.
Noah, who was one of the main culprits of all this, naturally couldn't say anything, but he didn't think that those big families could deprive Dumbledore of his position as principal for this reason. That headmaster is not old enough to be unable to lift a wand.
