MTL - Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic-Chapter 48 night talk

During the next vacation, as long as the Browns were at home, Auston spent almost all of his time at Spender's.

However, happy times always pass quickly. The holiday is over.

Auston began to pack up.

On the first day of school, he took Sissi early across the ninth and tenth platforms of King's Cross Station, carrying a suitcase and getting on the Hogwarts Express.

When Neville passed by carrying the bulky suitcase, Sissy greeted him warmly and placed the suitcase on the luggage rack with her best floatation spell.

"Thank you very much, Sissi. In order to ensure the safety of the box, I never dared to use any spells on it." Neville smiled at them honestly, and sat on the chair opposite the two brothers and sisters.

After driving for a while, Hermione also found their carriage. Sit in together, the same as the lineup during the holidays.

Along the way, they chatted about fun things about Christmas.

Suddenly the door of the compartment was opened, and Delphi was standing at the door holding the book. Just as she raised her legs to walk in, she caught a glimpse of Hermione sitting beside her.

Unfortunately, Hermione was also staring at her.

She took back the foot she stepped in and winked at Auston.

"I'll find you when it's time for dinner."

Auston smiled and nodded to her.

Afterwards, she glared at Hermione, then closed the compartment door and left.

Along the way, Hermione never spoke to Auston again.

When we arrived at the school, the group went to the auditorium for dinner first.

Sissy ran back to her Gryffindor table, chatting with Harry and the Weasley brothers.

Auston also went back to his seat and chatted with Justin Ernie for a while, and it didn't take long for Delphi to come to him, so the two of them started another wave of daily dog ​​abuse.

He started a busy study life again. Fortunately, his grades in the last semester were not so bad.

He got high marks in theoretical courses such as potions, herbs, and astronomy.

As for Charms and Transfiguration, it was as Delphi said, and both professors gave him some sympathy points because he swung his wand correctly.

In this way, Auston was completely blinded.

Quirrell, who was also worried about him, seemed normal now, and he had no intention of targeting him at all. Let him have the feeling that he is unfounded.

After the busy days were over, he began to have a new habit, which was to visit the castle at night.

Holding the Marauder's map, he could easily avoid Filch. Came to the quiet observatory and looked out the window quietly in a daze.

On this day too, he just sat on the balcony of the observatory and the stairs on the eighth floor. Suddenly a discordant voice was heard.

He hurriedly picked up the Marauder's map in his hand, and saw a small name coming to the Astronomy Tower. He raised his head, but couldn't see anyone.

He instantly knew what was going on and smiled lightly.

"Harry, your invisibility cloak is so cool!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in front of him shook, and Harry pulled off the invisibility cloak to expose his head.

In Auston's eyes, the head seemed to be floating in the air.

"How did you know I was here!" Harry looked surprised.

"Sit" Auston pointed to the balcony next to him

"I just happened to know that you got an invisibility cloak, and I happened to know that you like to wear it to wander around the castle."

"Did Sissy tell you?" Harry guessed.

Auston shook his head, "No, she didn't say anything to me."

"Because I also have something similar to your invisibility cloak, you can wear the invisibility cloak to avoid everyone's eyes, and I can use it to see everyone's position, even if they are wearing an invisibility cloak or an anima Gus form can't fool it either."

"What is so amazing." Harry looked puzzled.

Auston smiled

"This thing has something to do with you, you will know later."

"Now" Auston looked at him with deep eyes and said

"Let me guess, did you come up from the fourth floor?"

"Yeah." Harry nodded.

"Just met Dumbledore?" he asked again.

Harry's green eyes looked at him in disbelief

"How do you know!"

But he thought again

"Yes, you have that thing that can see where everyone is."

Auston smiled and said nothing.

"I saw a magical mirror in an abandoned classroom on the fourth floor, where I could see my family." Harry said with his head lowered.

"I went for several nights in a row, and I didn't want to come back for a long time, but Dumbledore said that what I saw was the desire in my heart, and it was all illusory. They were going to take the mirror away and tell me not to go again."

Auston had always guessed in his heart that the Philosopher's Stone was definitely a game set up by old Dumbledore. The purpose is to inspire Harry's fighting spirit and give him the confidence to face Voldemort. Even letting him see the Mirror of Erised in advance was part of it.

"Do you think what he said was wrong?" he turned to Harry.

"No." Harry shook his head

"You know, I've never met my parents, so..."

"So you can't give up the charm of the Mirror of Erised?" Auston replied.

Harry looked up, and Auston's bright black eyes were looking at him.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he nodded with difficulty.

Auston withdrew his gaze

"Dumbledore is right, it's not a good thing." He said deeply

"Isn't there an old saying, if you hate someone, give him a mirror of Erised. He will not eat, drink or sleep until he dies. It has everything he desires in it. "

Harry lowered his head and said nothing.

Auston patted him on the shoulder

"I know the longing in your heart for your family."

"But life is a terrible liar. It takes away everything that makes you happy. But in the end, it leaves one thing that keeps you alive and fighting for it, which is hope." He said with a smile

"Don't you have a lot of hope right now, the hope of gaining knowledge, the hope of making friends, the hope of winning Quidditch, the hope of winning the House Cup, and the hope of avenging your family."

"Stop thinking about that ethereal thing, it will only increase your burden."

After a long silence, Harry looked up at him

"Auston, you are always so wise, but I can't let go of anything."

Seeing the despair on his face. Auston smiled wryly, he looked up at the starry sky outside the window

"If only I was like what you said, I also have a lot of things I can't let go of~www.novelbuddy.com~ He sighed.

"I always felt that everything was within my expectations, but I found that many things were out of my control."

Then he turned his head and looked into Harry's green eyes

"Harry, you promise me," he said seriously

"No matter what you do, don't let Sissi get involved in anything dangerous. This is my only request. I'll try my best to help you with anything else!"

Harry also nodded heavily and assured him, "Don't worry! I will definitely protect Sissi and never put her in danger!"

The determination on his face made Auston feel relieved a little.

He suddenly thought of something, maybe he can remind Harry a little now

"Harry," he said, mulling over the words

"There is one more thing. Actually, the Mirror of Erised has another usage."

"Another usage?" Harry looked puzzled.

Auston nodded.

"If you want to protect something valuable, you can use the Mirror of Erised, so that greedy people can only see the illusion in the mirror, and people who want to get it but don't want to use it can get it."

Harry suddenly understood, his eyes widened.

"You mean, it's used to protect...?"

Auston nodded

"So you don't have to worry now. Those who want to get that thing will not be able to get it for a while."

Harry smiled reassuringly.

Auston patted him on the shoulder, "Put on your invisibility cloak and go back to sleep. I believe you will forget the magic mirror tomorrow."

A wicked smile appeared on his lips

"Next week is the showdown between our two academies, and Wood will never give you time to think wildly!"
