Hogwarts founder returns to campus

"Peppermint ice cream."

Dumbledore said to the gargoyle at the end of the eighth floor of the castle. After saying the command, the gargoyle quickly jumped aside. The stone wall behind it split in two, revealing a spiral staircase.

This was the first time Salazar visited the principal's office after he came to modern times.This was also the place where the four of them discussed matters, and there was only a large wooden table.

The four of them will write the admission notice here by hand. He is responsible for cutting the parchment, Rowena writes the specific content, Godric stamps the wax seal on the letter, and Helga's owl will deliver the letter to all those who need to enter child home.

But now the place has changed a lot. The wall directly opposite is the portrait of the past principals.

However, in this weather, the portraits were all dozing off and snoring, and the entire principal's office was immersed in a lazy atmosphere.

"Hey! Salazar, you finally have time to visit me?" The Sorting Hat suddenly cracked, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Sorting Hat, your behavior is very bad. When I called you, you didn't answer for a long time, but when he came over, you took the initiative to speak up." Dumbledore joked.

"This is indeed my fault. As compensation, I still have the ability to help you do something." Salazar walked up to the Sorting Hat and stretched out his wand, "Back to the original!"

The white jade-like magic wand burst into amazing light, and the portraits on the walls were also disturbed, and they all murmured and protested softly.

This didn't last long, as the white light dissipated quickly.

"Ah..." The Sorting Hat made a comfortable voice, "I am in good shape now! I feel younger than ever!"

The original tattered Sorting Hat was restored by the Restoration Charm and turned into a straight hat, but there seemed to be a small gap where it spoke.

It was also this gap that prevented Salazar from repairing the tampered things inside. No one could predict what would happen to the Sorting Hat if it was forcibly changed.

"Maybe this is the bonus of the founder?" Dumbledore observed the Sorting Hat closely. "I have tried to repair it a few times, but the results are not very satisfactory."

"Of course! You're not him after all!" The Sorting Hat squeaked, "You guys talk about your stories, I still have to think about my new song! In this state, I will definitely be able to create an even better song next year!"

"It's really necessary to talk about business." Dumbledore walked to the corner of the principal's office, where there was a huge curtain that could almost reach the ceiling.

It wasn't until he lifted the curtain that a huge and imposing mirror was revealed.Its borders are all golden, and gorgeous patterns of airflow are carved on it, and there are two eagle-clawed feet supporting it at the bottom.

The mirror as a whole looks golden, but it doesn't have that vulgar feeling, but it has a different and calm taste.

"Where did you find this antique?" Salazar recognized the Mirror of Erised, and it belonged to Rowena.

Just as Rowena can easily use her wisdom to guess what other people are thinking, the Mirror of Erised can also make people see the most urgent and strongest desires in their hearts.

"This is a good question. I used to dare not face it, so I hid it." Standing in front of the mirror, Dumbledore lightly brushed his fingers over the mirror, "It can always so directly bring out what is in my heart. The desire to show it made me powerless."

"Of course, it is a mirror, but what it reflects is the heart, not the face. It will present everything you want in your heart without reservation." Salazar said leisurely, "You What did you see in the mirror?"

"I used to only see one thing from there, but now I can see many things from it." Dumbledore said after a long sigh.

"Everyone's thoughts will change, but you actually see a lot of things, it seems that you lose more and more." Salazar joked.

He approached the mirror, which had an inscription on the top: erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi.

"You're right, no one gives me woolen socks every year, which makes me very distressed." Dumbledore's mouth fluttered, "What can you see from inside?"

Sarah looked at the person in the mirror, her eyes still couldn't help being nostalgic at this moment.

He saw that four people were also looking at him, and the joy between their brows and eyes was almost overflowing.

Salazar looked at their faces one by one, their appearance was still so familiar, and the throbbing in his heart showed that he was not calm at the moment.

The four were still waving at him, but he had already begun to separate himself from the image of the Mirror of Erised. All of these were illusions that followed his heart, and they were not real.

Indulging in it will not gain anything except the illusory sense of happiness in your heart and gradually breaking away from reality.

"I saw a lot of people, and they greeted me eagerly. After I said goodbye to them one by one, I only saw myself." Salazar sighed.

Now he was the only one in front of the mirror, standing alone in front of the mirror, and he could still see the hem of Dumbledore's purple robe next to him.

"It's a magic mirror."

"Of course!" Salazar sighed.

Perhaps only Helga can always see her own appearance when facing this mirror.

She is such a simple and happy person. She is very happy to help students cook food every day. She is very happy to let students acquire a little more knowledge every day. She is very happy to make herbs thrive every day. She is very happy to watch the school grow a little bit every day.

"I have an idea." Dumbledore finally started to talk about the business, "I want to use this mirror as the last level of the level."

"I'm curious what kind of expectations you have for Harry, and you have taken such pains." Sarah asked, "How can you be sure that he won't have any plans for the Philosopher's Stone? As far as I know, he should Already trying to figure out what the Sorcerer's Stone is."

"It seems that you know a lot, did Miss Granger tell you?" Dumbledore did not answer directly, but asked instead, "If you want to share something with me, I think I am very happy to share it with you haha profit-related matters."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in keeping secrets, I prefer to dig out your secrets little by little."

"Okay, then let's go back to the original topic. I want to use the characteristics of the Mirror of Erised to hide the Philosopher's Stone inside. Only those who want to get it but will not use it can get it from inside." take it out."

"It's a very good idea, then go ahead and do it, what does it have to do with me?" Salazar's eyelids jumped, and he was about to leave the principal's office.
