Some young wizards could return home, and the Hogwarts Express would open at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This train, shuttling between King’s Cross Station in London and Hogsmeade Station, made about six round trips per year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small group of wizards, of course, were heading to Hogsmeade to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Hall was filled with such voices, everyone cheerfully discussing what they would do in Hogsmeade today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean quietly unwrapped his Easter egg:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was from Mrs. Weasley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Harry and Ron had received eggs nearly as large as dragon eggs, filled with homemade toffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wizard Sean’s egg was larger than the table. He blinked in surprise and looked at Bai Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pure white owl sat motionless, utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some eggs were oddly interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eggs from the farm held dazzling candy wrappers, warm pumpkin pies, and a sealed cup of milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandpa Marcus had always worried about Hogwarts’ ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held an old belief: ingredients raised in large enclosures at Hogwarts were inferior to those raised on the farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandpa Marcus often boasted that his farm produced the best milk in Scotland—and to everyone’s surprise, the Times Daily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farm had won championship contests; Professor McGonagall, without looking up, said it was because the old wizard broke the rules by using magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the farm’s eggs, Wizard Sean received Easter eggs from the distant London suburbs, from Hogsmeade village… but the majority still came from Hogwarts Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wizard Sean unwrapped his gifts, owls flooded the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During holidays, letters naturally increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, the students’ chatter grew too loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it split into two simple factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards about to go to Hogsmeade were overjoyed, rushing around with the Daily Prophet;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those unable to go to Hogsmeade were deeply disappointed, enviously watching the older wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean, did you see? Merlin! A magical hand mirror—a revolutionary creation—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron muttered the Daily Prophet’s description and hurriedly handed the paper to Wizard Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instant communication, worldwide connection, integrated into your life…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry read the slogans and felt a strange sense of familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean took the paper and saw clearly that most of the Daily Prophet’s front page was taken up by one article.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Greatest Wizard of the Future’s Latest Masterpiece: A Miracle That Changes Magical Communication!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Most Mysterious Shop in Diagon Alley Expands for the First Time: Five Countries and Hogsmeade Village All Move In!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Best Easter Gift—Don’t Your Children Have a Pair of Magical Hand Mirrors Yet?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dazzling advertisements made one wonder if this was still the Daily Prophet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My dad says the Ministry wants to buy this invention widely, but that mysterious alchemist will only give the Ministry thirty units, claiming limited production capacity—only three hundred were made in the first batch—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron clutched his letter, amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel like…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry stared at the photo in the paper and grew more certain it resembled the mirror in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve only ever heard of two-way mirrors, but those cost a fortune,” Ron whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much?” Harry asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over a hundred Jin Jin Jialong!” Ron spread his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s indeed expensive,” Harry and Wizard Sean agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bet this is a kind of two-way mirror—at least…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron frowned in thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seven…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry waited. Even Wizard Sean looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seven hundred… no, at least three hundred Jin Jin Jialong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron declared confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three hundred!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dream broom, the Firebolt 2001, cost only a few hundred Jin Jin Jialong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It might be even more! The craftsmanship and materials for two-way mirrors have been lost for a long time,” Ron said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat down and pulled a mirror from his bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully compared the mirror to the photo in the advertisement, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be even more than that! The craftsmanship and materials for the two-way mirror have been lost for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron leaned over curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bought one?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think you have one too,” Harry said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron froze, struggling to understand whether Harry was even speaking English.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you unwrap your Easter egg?” Harry asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet… you mean…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron sensed something and frantically tore open his gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, he held up a mirror in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples formed on its surface, revealing several distinct figures:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean reading quietly, a much smaller Professor McGonagall, a friendly badger, a chubby Neville, Ron with two drumsticks in his mouth, and a smaller Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did I ever stuff two such big drumsticks in my mouth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember in the Great Hall?” Harry tried to jog his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh Harry, I’d rather not remember,” Ron muttered, embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Hall buzzed with noise, but Wizard Sean had already left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Professor Tela had summoned him; Wizard Sean knew it was about the magical hand mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure grew distant down the corridor, but only minutes later, he stopped and opened the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione’s ears turned a faint pink as her face appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean!” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be about Little McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean, happy Easter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second face to appear was Jia Jia Siting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, Wizard Sean, my goodness, I can’t believe it’s really you! You invented the magical hand mirror! And seven of them! The Ministry can’t even get any… oh, of course they can’t—they’re all here with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third and fourth were Ron shouting excitedly and Harry beaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each occupied a small corner of the mirror, then a round, large face appeared, shrinking everyone else’s faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean, Hermione, Jia Jia Siting, Harry, Ron…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville stammered his greeting, clearly uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems to be because of Minerva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean, happy Easter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second face to appear was Jia Jia Siting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, Wizard Sean, my goodness, I can’t believe it’s really you!
