In the deepest part of the classroom, the mirror Dumbledore had just moved was particularly conspicuous, and Charles couldn't help but glance over there.
He saw a string of inscriptions on the top of the mirror: "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi". He had to read it backwards and re-segment the words to understand what it meant: "I show not your face but your heart's desire" (I show
It’s not your face but your desire).
"Is that the Mirror of Erised?" Charles asked Dumbledore curiously, "I read in a book that it can reflect what a person desires most deep in his heart."
Dumbledore nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it is a very wonderful and dangerous mirror."
Charles agreed: "I read in a book that some people sat in front of the mirror and indulged in it, motionless until they starved to death."
"Yes." Dumbledore nodded and said, "That's why I want to hide it here, but you don't want to tell it."
Charles nodded seriously and promised not to tell anyone.
At the same time, he became vigilant. The Magic Stone in his "memory" was hidden in the Mirror of Erised. Harry would see it during the Christmas holidays some time later. This kind of "coincidence" made it difficult not to feel that the magic stone was hidden in the Mirror of Erised.
There is no invisible hand pushing.
Dumbledore must know the situation of the key figures in Hogwarts and control the development of the situation.
"Want to see it?" Dumbledore said to Charles with a smile, "It's okay to see it only once or twice."
Charles thought for a while and decided that it wouldn't hurt to take a look, so he walked towards the Mirror of Erised.
The Mirror of Erised is not small in size. It is taller than him when it stands on the ground. It is said that it is not very clear from the angle of the mirror.
Charles was a little nervous, fearing that the scene would show him going to the pier to get some French fries.
Dumbledore was observing Charles carefully. His expression was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Can you share it with me?" Dumbledore asked.
Charles smiled and replied: "Nothing."
After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.
Dumbledore looked at the little guy's leaving figure with admiration. It was rare to see people with such self-control.
But Dumbledore was also a little curious about what Charles longed for in his heart. As an orphan, would he want to have a complete and harmonious family like himself, or would he want to be a wizard as powerful as himself? Would he have endless wealth, beauty?
partner.
Dumbledore would never have imagined that what Charles saw in the Mirror of Erised was many people hanging from street lamps.
The Gryffindor common room was as lively as ever, with many people discussing the news that Malfoy had just been admitted to the hospital.
However, discussions are discussions, and you still have to do your own things.
The trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione were flipping through books, looking for clues about the man named Nico Flamel.
There are new toys in the common room. The flying ball that Seamus and Neville played before has been moved from the dormitory. Many people queue up next to it. If they lose, they will be replaced.
In addition to flying balls, there is now a mini-game using floating spells.
There is an upright wooden board on the table, with different values at different heights. Each person has five wooden blocks the size of bottle caps, and is also equipped with two 20-sided dice.
Two people playing the game first roll the dice, and the sum of the dice points is the score to be achieved in this game. The wooden blocks will score different points when they stop at different positions. You can knock away other people's wooden blocks to see whose total score is the same as the one who rolled the dice in the end.
The scores are closest.
When Charles returned to the common room, Percy was reading a book and complaining to Wood, who was at the same level next to him, that the common room was too noisy recently.
After defeating Slytherin in the Quidditch match, Wood, the captain, has been in a good mood. Now he is playing wizard chess with other students. After hearing Percy complain, he just went along with it, and then watched helplessly.
The soldier was killed.
Charles had nothing to do at the moment, and was too lazy to help Harry and the others flip through the books, so he ran over to watch Wood and the others play chess.
Wizard chess is played in the same way as chess. The difference is that the chess pieces in wizard chess will move on their own and they will get angry.
Charles played several times, using Seamus' chess pieces. The knight was always disobedient, and he became obedient after being flicked in the head a few times.
Wood lost again, sighing and rearranging the dejected chess pieces.
At this time, Charles suddenly asked Wood: "Do you think you can make a simulated Quidditch game like Wizard Chess?"
Wood turned back and asked him: "What simulated Quidditch?"
Charles pinched his chin and said: "Just build a simulated Quidditch pitch as big as a bed, with everything from goalkeepers, batters, chasers, seekers, to Quaffles, Bludgers, Golden Snitches and goals.
Complete, each player can control a player to participate in the game."
"Of course, each person can also control a team."
"I think wizard chess can be made, and simulating Quidditch shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"If you do well, make more and sell them. It should be very popular. The bars in Hogsmeade will be interested, and people will play in Diagon Alley. And you can also sell them abroad and make a lot of money.
Where's the money?"
When it comes to having fun, wizards don’t realize they have a treasure trove.
The simulation series derived from Wizard Chess can produce many ball games, such as simulated Quidditch, and can also jointly sell certain players with outstanding values.
In addition, there can also be games like "Need for Speed" and "Need for Broomstick". If the game map can be sold separately, it can sell a lot.
Charles is too lazy to get involved in the "main plot" too much. If the sky falls, Dumbledore and Harry will bear it. At worst, he will run away with a bucket. Now he just wants to have fun. He can use magic to have fun while he can use magic casually in Hogwarts.
Happy.
Wood said thoughtfully: "This is a good idea, I think it can be done."
But the next moment he was discouraged: "But it costs a lot of money, and I don't have that much money."
At this time, a voice sounded: "I voted for this project!"
Eleanor appeared behind Charles. She had just been sitting at the table behind doing homework and heard the conversation between the two.
She reached out from behind and pinched Charles' face. She took this moment to think about it, then put her hands on Charles' shoulders and said to Wood: "Think about how to make this game and see what magic difficulties are required."
If others help, make a plan and find others to work with."
Wood scratched his head, feeling that he couldn't handle this project, so he looked at Percy aside and asked him with a smile: "Percy, we are good friends, right?"
Percy knew what he was going to say and replied expressionlessly: "We will also take the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination next year."
"It's okay, it's okay." Wood made an excuse, "This can be considered a review..."
Charles watched with a smile as Wood stalked Percy, and finally Percy had to agree to help.
