Chapter 79: The Mirror of Erised!!

Filch ran far away, and Harry let out a heavy sigh of relief. But he also felt a bit dejected.

It was clearly agreed that he would go to protect Darren, yet in the end, it was Darren who protected him.

And he didn't even know if Darren had been caught by Filch now.

If he had been caught, he felt he wouldn't have the face to say he was "Darren’s brother" in the future.

Harry stood dejectedly on the spot.

He glanced at Mrs. Norris, who was still meowing at him, and kicked her in frustration.

"Enough, are you going to keep meowing forever? Why can't you be like Leizi and just nap all day?"

"Meow!"

That kick from Harry clearly made Mrs. Norris very angry; she meowed loudly, guarding Harry tightly, looking exactly like an enforcer who had caught a thief.

"Oh god! I was wrong, please stop meowing!"

Harry was startled; he seemed to have already heard the sound of Mr. Filch’s footsteps rushing over.

"Sir, right here. I felt something was wrong just now, but a student suddenly appeared and scared me, so I followed him.

But now that Mrs. Norris is meowing like this, it’s clear that the intruder hasn't run away.

I believe an invisible intruder is naturally more important than a student!"

"Oh, yes, yes, Filch, you did the right thing. Perhaps there is some heinous scoundrel inside; you’ve done a great deed..."

Harry froze.

He swore he heard Snape’s mocking voice. It seemed to carry a cold smile.

It was almost as if he were telling him, I will definitely catch you. Run!

Harry immediately took off running from the spot.

He might be able to fool Filch, but he certainly couldn't fool Snape. Snape was like an old hound, able to smell his scent and drag him out.

Just as he said, he would hang him upside down in the dark room in the basement and punish him with Dark Magic.

"Harry, over here!"

Just as Harry was running around with Snape in pursuit, he suddenly heard Darren’s voice.

Then a hand grabbed him and pulled him into a room.

"Darren?"

"It's me!"

Darren took off the Invisibility Cloak and looked at Harry with some helplessness.

He had already lured Filch away, yet this guy didn't run quickly and was still there kicking a cat; clearly, he had been retaliated against by Filch.

"Thank goodness, I finally see you, but how did you find me?"

Harry asked curiously as he took off the Invisibility Cloak.

He couldn't even sense Darren, yet Darren could sense him?

"Breathing, footsteps, and you didn't control your volume at all."

Darren sighed.

Giving this Invisibility Cloak to Harry was a waste!

Harry scratched his hair in embarrassment, trying to break the awkwardness. So he quickly looked around, wanting to change the subject.

Then he discovered the setting here.

This was an empty room with miscellaneous items placed around.

And next to the clutter, a mirror that clearly didn't belong in this room was placed there.

This mirror was very grand, with a golden frame, reaching the ceiling, and it was supported by claw-shaped feet.

At the top was engraved a line of text: The Mirror of Erised. Harry curiously pulled Darren over to look.

By this time, there were no sounds of Snape or Filch outside. It was quiet.

He looked at the mirror with peace of mind.

At first, there was nothing in the mirror, but then he discovered a crowd of people appearing behind him.

He was startled and quickly looked back, but there was nothing there.

"What's wrong? Brother?"

Darren asked suspiciously.

Although he knew Harry should be seeing the Potter family at this moment, as a child who knew nothing, he could only act surprised and vigilant.

"There are people inside!"

Harry said quickly.

He discovered a man and a woman standing at the very front.

The woman was extremely beautiful; she had red hair, green eyes, and a face somewhat similar to Darren’s.

And the man’s hair was as messy as his own; his face looked more like this gentleman.

He suddenly understood; these were his parents!

"Darren, come look quickly, look at our mom and dad, you've never seen them!"

Harry pulled Darren over to look with him. Darren hesitated for a moment before looking at the mirror.

He didn't know what he truly wanted to see in his heart. What would it be...

[Ding, Legilimency detected, forge memory?] Ah, this...

This is no fun at all.

[Forge it, let it see what I'm thinking!]

He didn't know if Dumbledore could discover anything, so forging it was safer.

And as his memory was forged.

High-rise buildings gradually appeared in the mirror, along with many scenes he had fabricated.

So he sighed softly: "How beautiful! I’ve seen the future world, haven't I? People there get sick, and hospitals treat them for free."

If someone drops money, no one will just pick it up, and even if they do, they will only hand it to the police.

I also saw that everyone doesn't even need to lock their doors when they go out because there are no thieves. The future world is truly beautiful!"

[Ding, Saint Father Value +100] [Ding, Saint Father Value +80]

This time there were only two Saint Father Value notifications.

Harry probably didn't give him any Saint Father Value because he was frowning at Darren.

"How can that be? This mirror can't see the future world, because I saw Mom and Dad, and they died a long time ago."

He shook his head and looked at the mirror in confusion.

He had wanted to look with Darren just now, but now he didn't know how to make Darren see it.

So he could only try his best to describe the scenes he saw.

Darren listened to his description and suddenly asked: "Among the people you mentioned, is there an old grandfather whose knees are as uneven as yours?"

"Yes, yes! Darren, did you see it too?"

Harry raised his head happily, then heard Darren say: "Yes, I also saw Mom and Dad, only they all live in the world I saw.

They are doing very well, they even gave birth to a younger brother and sister, I like them very much."

Darren said in a cheerful tone, but his eyes gradually turned red; he blinked, holding back the moisture in the corners of his eyes, and suddenly said: "I miss them so much!"
