Snape's Anger

It was midnight, in an empty classroom on the sixth floor.

Harry only had time to observe the scene in the room where he was hiding after he heard Snape and Filch's footsteps slowly fading away.

It looks like an abandoned classroom.

Many tables and chairs were piled up against the wall, forming large, dark shadows. There was also an overturned wastepaper basket. However, on the wall directly opposite him, there was something that didn't seem to belong there, as if someone had temporarily placed it there because they had nowhere else to put it.

It was a very impressive mirror, reaching all the way to the ceiling, with a gorgeous gold frame, and supported by two claw-shaped feet at the bottom.

The top is engraved with the following words: wangyuan dezhongxin nishi erlian denishi budechu zhaowo.

Now that Filch and Snape's voices were no longer audible, Harry's tense mood relaxed.

He slowly approached the mirror, wanting to take a look at his reflection.

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would be staying here all night until morning.

Because Snape and Filch would definitely be keeping a close eye on the path from the sixth floor to the Ravenclaw Tower, the thought made Harry feel a little nauseous and bitter.

He's probably going to catch a cold now.

However, another phenomenon quickly diverted Harry's attention—the mirror was empty!

He took a few more steps closer and stood in front of the mirror.

From Ryan's perspective, Harry Potter was first surprised, then suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

For the next period of time, he was deathly pale, terrified, and reached out to grope behind him.

Ryan, having read the original book, naturally knew what Harry had seen, while Dumbledore, who had also huddled in the corner of the room, was somewhat puzzled.

He looked puzzled, as if he thought the mirror was broken or that he had moved into the Boggart.

However, his doubts soon disappeared.

That's because Harry finally realized something. He looked at the beautiful woman in the mirror; she had deep red hair, and her eyes—her eyes looked exactly like Harry's. Then he saw that she was crying; she was smiling at the same time. The tall, thin, dark-haired man standing next to her had his arm around her.

The man wore glasses, had messy hair, and a tuft of hair on the back of his head stood up unruly, just like Harry's.

Harry's nose was pressed tightly against the mirror, flattened like a toad, but Ryan couldn't laugh. He understood what Harry's eyes were looking at him now, and how much he longed for it.

"Mom?" Harry whispered. "Dad?"

From Ryan's perspective, Harry slowly turned his head to look at the other parts of the mirror.

Ryan understood that Harry was observing his other family members.

Dumbledore wiped his eyes, removing the tears from the corners of his eyes. However, Dumbledore a little puzzled. He actually knew Harry's family, and with the access to the Magic Mirror, he could clearly see the scene from Harry's perspective.

But apart from James and Lily looking correct, the appearances of James' parents and others are not quite right. They all have the same green eyes and the same nose as Harry, and the little old man even has the same uneven knees as Harry.

Well, aside from the green eyes and the fact that James' mother's appearance wasn't quite accurate, everything else was pretty close to the mark, which gradually made Dumbledore look puzzled.

Ryan, who had been observing from the sidelines, shifted his attention from Harry to Dumbledore.

Based on the original text and Dumbledore's age, Ryan could roughly guess the point of Dumbledore's doubts.

In the Potter family, only Lily actually has green eyes.

Harry still has memories of Lily and James in his subconscious, so their appearances are not distorted.

Harry has no memory of Harry grandparents.

Fleamont Potter, Harry's grandfather, had James quite late in life, and they doted on James because of this late-in-life child.

Unfortunately, although they saw their son marry Lily, Muggle-born girl, they both died of Dragon Pox before Harry was born.

This also meant that Harry was simply imagining what his grandparents looked like.

His grandfather, however, was quite accurate in his assumptions because almost all the male members of the Potter family looked the same.

Dumbledore didn't have much time to ponder; his attention was entirely focused on Harry.

Harry just kept looking into the mirror, and then he fell asleep wrapped in the Invisibility Cloak.

Dumbledore appeared, waved his wand, and a thick blanket was wrapped around Harry. Ryan could tell that the blanket was designed to disappear as soon as Harry woke up.

That's truly brilliant magic, amazing!

Seeing that Harry had fallen asleep, Ryan returned to his dormitory and began to pet the cat, something he hadn't done in a long time.

Meanwhile, in the Headmaster's Office, another heated conversation was taking place, while the portraits of all the past Headmaster's Office were snoring and fast asleep.

"Dumbledore, Ravenclaw, invisibility, first-year footprints, and the number of first-year Ravenclaw students who stayed at school."

"Dumbledore, you know what I'm saying!" Snape's ginger face was filled with a long-dormant rage.

"Quiet." Dumbledore waved his wand, and their voices were confined to the small space.

Phineas Nigellus Black Family, who was almost woken up, smacked his lips.

"Severus, you have to understand, this is all for Harry's good," The Greatest White Wizard patiently explained.

"Aha! I knew it was him!"

"I was so confused! How could I have thought that boy would be like his mother!"

"He's just like his father, spending his days wandering around and fooling around with that invisibility trick! In the castle where Quirrell is, that Dark Wizard!" Snape paced around Dumbledore. "By the way, that Invisibility Cloak is that old thing Potter had, isn't it? What, you repaired it again this Christmas and gave it to that boy?"

"I knew it! It's all your fault!"

"Why? Why not kick Quirrell out! Why give that boy the Invisibility Cloak when he's been assigned to Ravenclaw, doesn't like going out, and loves studying? I bet you also said something about it being his father's and that he should use it properly." Snape changed the subject, finding another excuse for his beloved Harry, and coincidentally guessed it.

"Severus, you guessed right. What? You can't read my mind, you guessed everything I wrote to Harry." Dumbledore said quipped. "Severus, why are you leaving?"

"I'm going to the sixth floor to get rid of Filch," Snape said in a low voice, suppressing his anger.

"Severus, are you worried that Harry might catch a cold if he doesn't go back to his dorm?" Dumbledore, only to be answered by Snape's more hurried footsteps.
