All the changes in the world begin with Tom Cat

Chapter 21 The Mirror of Erised

On this day, after Snape's class, Ding Hai and the three little ones returned to the Gryffindor common room after lunch.

Then I heard them discussing the magic stone, but Ding Hai did not interfere in the conversation between them.

That night
Ding Haimao was having a sweet dream in his nest, with saliva flowing from his mouth.

But suddenly his ears started to rotate like radar, as if he had detected some movement.

Ding Hai turned over and slowly leaned out, only to find a dark shadow groping furtively in the dark dormitory space.

His heart skipped a beat!
Shouldn't it be a thief?

So, Ding Hai casually picked up a shovel, tiptoed the meat ball, and followed the black shadow quietly.

But the next moment, the black figure turned its head, revealing a familiar face.

"Tom? Are you going to hit me with this shovel?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, then noticed the cold shovel in Ding Hai's hand, and asked with some horror.

Ding Hai quickly put the shovel behind his back and showed an embarrassed smile.

Of course not?

Did he think some kind of monster, Phantom Thief, had come in?

I didn’t expect it to be Harry!
But then he cast a doubtful look at Harry, asking him what he wanted to do with his invisibility cloak on in the middle of the night without sleeping.
Harry immediately understood what Ding Hai meant, and explained in a low voice: "I'm going to the library with my invisibility cloak on to find out about the Sorcerer's Stone. I heard from Hermione that there is a book that records the true use of the Sorcerer's Stone." .”

"Ron and the others told me after the Quidditch match that Professor Snape seemed to be in contact with the mysterious man and had a plan to seize the Sorcerer's Stone, so I wanted to further solve the mystery of the Sorcerer's Stone."

Harry didn't explain the rest.

Because his parents were killed by Voldemort, as long as it was related to Voldemort, he couldn't just leave it alone.

Ding Hai was stunned when he heard this. He remembered that Professor Quirrell was Voldemort's pawn, right?Why is it Snape?
Could it be that he remembered it wrong?

Wait a minute!A bit misled by Harry.

They probably didn't know what Snape was doing behind the scenes. Although he didn't notice Snape at the scene, he did see a purple scarf.

Could it be Quirrell's?
No wonder he looks so familiar!

So it couldn't have been Quirrell's fault that he couldn't control his broomstick?

Thinking about it this way, Ding Hai felt that many of the clues were correct.

It turned out to be that Ma Zai. He was still wondering what was going on.
The broom was spinning around like an epilepsy. If he hadn't been so agile, he would have been knocked down by the cat and chewed in the mud.

Very good, this Qiu Benmiao has remembered it!
Ding Hai's eyes flashed fiercely.

Harry: "."

I don't know if it was his imagination, but Tom seemed a little scary just now.

Just when he couldn't figure out why Ding Hai had such an expression, Ding Hai jumped directly into his invisibility cloak and squeezed in with him.

"Tom, are you going out with me?"

Ding Hai nodded in response.

Seeing that the cat had already taken action, Harry did not refuse.

Originally, he planned to go alone to reduce the possibility of being discovered.

Then, one person and one cat wore an invisibility cloak and secretly opened the door to the lounge and slipped out.

After passing through the corridor, the two came to the door of the library.

Harry looked around at the gate and then whispered to Ding Hai: "Tom will quietly enter the library later. We are going into the restricted book area. Remember to move gently. Filch might smell it." It’s here now, and the restricted book area is still a place he must pass every night when he patrols.”

The library of Hogwarts is the library with the largest collection of books in the British wizarding world. Many ancient magic books and some documents can be found here, but there are also some areas that students cannot set foot in.

That is the restricted book area. Only professors or principals can enter the restricted book area. No one else is allowed to enter.

Because there are many books on evil magic in it, as well as the glorious history of Tom Riddle's former classmate at Hogwarts.These are not allowed to be watched by students, so as not to be tempted into doing something bad.

But now two daring students have sneaked in during the dark and windy night.

After arriving at the destination bookshelf, Harry began to search on the bookshelf.

"Nicholas Flamel, Nicol Flamel has been found!"

Harry took the book down from the shelf.

"Huh? Did the naughty guy sneak out of his dormitory?"

Suddenly, a figure came from not far away. Upon hearing this, Ding Hai hurriedly pulled Harry into the invisibility cloak and moved him to a corner.

"There was movement just now, why is there no movement anymore?"

Filch slowly walked into the library carrying a small oil lamp, and then shined the light everywhere to see if any little wizards had just escaped at this time.

If he catches it, his "Little Wizard's Punishment Experience" can be added to his collection.

Harry, on the other hand, held his breath and did not dare to make a sound.

Ding Hai was as motionless as the stone statue.

"Well, it seems that our little wizard is following the rules tonight, what a pity~"

Filch walked around but found no other movement, then walked out of the library, closed the door and left.

After Filch had completely left, one person and one cat came out of the invisibility cloak.

"Thank Merlin, otherwise we would have been discovered by Filch just now." Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

Ding Hai touched some beads of sweat. Well, he was a little nervous just now and was discovered by Filch.

Then he leaned against a stone wall.

Squeeze!
The stone wall suddenly moved, and they quickly looked back and found that there was a secret passage behind the stone wall.

"Tom, do we want to enter this secret passage?"

To be honest, Harry was still curious about what was in this secret passage, or whether the legendary magician was in it.

If you can get the Philosopher's Stone and give it to Dumbledore, you don't have to worry about the mysterious man who has been plotting.

After all, in the entire Hogwarts Academy, except for a few friends, Harry still trusted Dumbledore as the principal.

He felt that it was better to keep the magic stone with the principal, otherwise it would not be safe to put it in his own hands. After all, his magic power was still relatively weak.

Dante Hai had already lit a candle and led Harry into the secret passage.

After entering the secret passage and walking for a while, a full-length mirror with the height of an adult suddenly appeared in front of him.

This mirror seemed to have some strange magic power, which made Harry want to get closer and touch it.

Ding Hai interrupted his movements.

"What's wrong Tom? Is there something wrong with this mirror?"

Just now, two vague but friendly figures appeared in the mirror. Before Harry could get closer and see clearly, he was stopped by Ding Hai.

Ding Hai pulled Harry to stand a little further away from the mirror, and then began to look at it.

Why does this mirror feel familiar?

Could this be the Mirror of Erised later?
He remembered that Harry was in this situation, accidentally encountered the Mirror of Erised, saw his parents in the mirror, and then began to feel sad.

Otherwise, Harry would have fallen into a trap if he had stopped him just now.

Although the Mirror of Erised is said to allow people to see clearly what they desire most in their hearts, it is also a mirror of desire that can make people get lost and gradually lead to self-degradation or decline.
