Chapter 108 Mirror of Erised
At the moment he escaped from the tent, he saw the golden mask escape from another exit.
The banshee in the magic circle also tried to escape, but the backlash of the black magic had already arrived. She was drawn into the magic vortex and turned into ashes with a shrill cry.
The vortex destroyed the tent. Before Ellie, who had escaped, had time to catch her breath, she immediately waved her wand and began to guide the violent magic.
But at this moment, a black shadow jumped out of the vortex and pounced on Ellie with a beast-like roar.
Xing Ze made a move almost at the same time, and the blue beak flew out of his hand, forming a small stone wall in front of Ellie.
The monster's claws left a deep claw mark on the stone wall. It jumped aside and stood up. Its swollen upper body not only squeezed through the robe, but also squeezed through its skin. The bloody muscles were exposed, and people dared not look directly at it.
I don't know who screamed, and the crowd finally reacted. They began to crawl away from here.
In the panic, someone kicked over a basket of apples, a herring flew into the sky, and all kinds of strange gadgets were scattered all over the ground.
Children were crying, women were screaming at high decibels, and men were cursing.
Merchants roared and tried to save their goods, thieves took advantage of the chaos to steal, and teachers responsible for maintaining order began to wave their wands.
But all this had nothing to do with Xing Ze. He was concentrating on staring at the monster, and the monster was also staring at him.
The monster growled and jumped up like a wild dog. Xing Ze's spell was ready, but a spear broke through the air and accurately pierced the monster's neck, nailing it to the ground.
It struggled and roared, trying to pull out the spear with its hands, but the spears came one after another, the first, the second, the third... until the sixth one, Dumbledore walked to Xing Ze.
The old wizard continued to wave his wand, creating a barrier around the monster, and then gently pinched his other hand, and the Perks spear exploded instantly. The barrier blocked the impact of the explosion and the flying flesh and blood.
Then, he turned around and began to help Ellie stabilize the magic vortex.
Ben, who came with him, exclaimed when he saw the monster on the ground that was blown to pieces.
"What the hell is that?" He asked while pulling out his wand to help guide the crowd.
"It was a wizard at first, then it became a monster, and now... as you can see." Xing Ze replied, floating a sneaky man with a levitation spell.
Thanks to Dumbledore's timely assistance, the scene was quickly stabilized, and the Quidditch game continued, but the party outside the venue was forced to be cancelled.
Businessmen and tourists were dissatisfied and gathered in the big square, waiting for the Ministry of Magic to question and inspect.
Dumbledore asked Xing Ze and Ellie to wait in his office, and he needed to deal with some things.
Ellie's magic consumption was a bit serious, so she went to the school infirmary for simple treatment first.
So Xing Ze walked towards Dumbledore's office alone, and he was thinking about the whole thing all the time on the way.
The wizard who escaped is most likely Jamie Avery. What are these people trying to do? Kill Harry Potter? Seize the Philosopher's Stone?
But this is too strange. Although most Death Eaters are lunatics, racists, antisocial thugs, etc., they should at least have a unified goal in terms of action.
From the initial train attack, then the disappearance of the Aurors in Knockturn Alley, the human trafficking of the Oil Gang, and now the destruction of the Quidditch game.
These people's actions are like a schizophrenic lunatic, thinking of one thing after another, what on earth are they going to do?
While thinking, he accidentally went to the wrong road. The corridors and corridors inside Hogwarts are too similar.
They really should make some signposts. Xing Ze complained in his heart. He stopped and looked around. He was the only one in the quiet corridor.
Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness came to his heart. Xing Ze exhaled a long breath and sat down slowly with his back against the wall.
The coldness came from the walls and the floor, irritating his skin through his clothes. The intricacies and various hidden secrets made him breathless and tired.
Blue Beak turned into a black cat and wandered around him anxiously.
"Let's talk, friend." Xing Ze stretched out his hand, and the black cat consciously leaned over, "We really need to talk, don't worry, you don't need to talk.
"They say silence is golden, but I don't believe it. Anyone, anyone needs to talk. Maybe with friends, maybe with yourself, maybe with the air.
"Some people talk big, some people whisper, and some people recite in their hearts. But no matter what, people need to talk. So, I want to talk too. Although I'm not sure if I can still be called a human being.
"You must want to ask me what I want to talk about.
"To be honest, I don't know. There are too many things to say, and I don't know where to start. I said I miss home, do you believe it? I don't think you probably will believe it.
"But this is really not my home. I miss my own room, where there is a small bed and a wardrobe connected to a bookshelf. It is very practical and durable and has been there since I was born.
"I miss my family too. Especially my mother, even though I always have a quarrel with her. She is a smart and insightful woman who has taught me a lot."
The black cat called softly a few times.
"No, she didn't teach me how to investigate or fight. I learned all that by myself. But she taught me the dangers of the world, the sadness of the world, and the need to be kind.
"I'm worried about my family, but that won't help, right? I found you, and you sent me here. Maybe when I traveled through time, my existence had already disappeared. If so, I have to thank you.
"But if not, then I have to go back. It's not a question of whether I can make it in time or not, you know, my home is not here."
At this point, Xing Ze closed his eyes, and the black cat made a few more low sounds.
"No, it's okay, friend. I'm fine." Xing Ze murmured, "very good."
The black cat left Xing Ze's palm and jumped onto the windowsill of an abandoned classroom. It turned its head and called out, then went in through the half-closed window.
Xing Ze sighed and stood up helplessly. The door of the classroom was not locked. He pushed it open and saw the magnificent but weird mirror.
Ahaha, the Mirror of Erised. Xing Ze shouted in his heart. He didn't believe in fate, but what happened today was too coincidental, whether it was Trelawney's prophecy or the Mirror of Erised in front of him.
He took a deep breath and asked, "So, what do you want me to see?"
He walked closer to the mirror and saw the girl in a red coat and a white dress, just like in the photo. Even after so many years, he still remembers every detail.
"I really didn't expect to meet you in this way." Xing Ze stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the mirror, his thoughts surging.
