Chapter 299: Hogwarts Learning Panel, Chapter 128

Luo En said.

"You're just holding the Quidditch Cup, what's fun about that? I want to see my parents."

Harry retorted.

"Don't push me—"

"Oh—Luo En, have you forgotten? Xiang Xien!"

"Merlin—how could I have forgotten this!"

Harry and Luo En turned back with embarrassment, quickly making room for Xiang Xien.

Xiang Xien nodded and walked to the front of the magic mirror.

At the same time, a figure slowly emerged.

It was a pair of pure and deep green eyes. Xiang Xien stared at the person in the mirror for a while and heard Harry start to stutter.

"Oh no, Xiang Xien, h-how come when it gets to you, it becomes an ordinary mirror?"

Only Xiang Xien knew how much the mirror had changed in that instant.

Soon, the night grew deeper.

A black cat turned back under the cover of shadows and quickly became a black-robed young wizard.

Xiang Xien stared at those green eyes, and the image suddenly became a little blurry.

The first scene was in a dilapidated orphanage, where the dead orphans appeared again;

Then it was the towering scene of Hogwarts Castle; in the Great Hall, the figure of every professor was so clear, and even Dumbledore in the main seat was still blinking.

These images flashed by, and finally, only a young wizard with black hair and green eyes looked at Xiang Xien from afar.

"It seems that for you, it's just an ordinary mirror... oh, don't mind me seeing your past, right?"

The old wizard with a long white beard appeared from the shadows, his voice becoming much lighter:

"Those I saw... child, are they still there?"

Xiang Xien said "Headmaster Dumbledore" and then shook his head.

"I feel sad for this. But child, I know there was once a person who was also in such a place worth resenting.

He had talent and was also excellent; he was like you, wanting to escape from there. Wanting to become outstanding, wanting to become dazzling.

But child, why... is happiness so easily satisfying you?"

Xiang Xien knew who Headmaster Dumbledore was talking about; it was none other than Headmaster Dumbledore himself.

"The past is a ghost, Headmaster Dumbledore; for me, it is ethereal and has no influence; only the future has weight.

... The imagined future is also never reliable; my intuition has always told me one truth: rely on yourself, and the chance of winning is the greatest."

Dumbledore admitted that he had never seen such a brilliant wizard—a tenacious life, stumbling to find a home of his own.

He saw the fleeting Hogwarts Castle, saw the firm will that the child might not even know he had tempered.

The land here had experienced ten centuries of desolation and hardness. When the biting cold wind on the tower surrounded his throat like a knife, his mind was left with only those extremely brilliant green eyes. ===== CHAPTER 300 =====
