In the middle of the night, Irina sneaked out of the girls' dormitory, planning to head to the Hogwarts kitchen to ask the house-elves for some food, as usual.
At the Christmas dinner the previous day, she had been busy with lottery packages and fireworks, and hadn't even eaten enough!
She arrived at the Gryffindor common room, her wand in hand.
It was already late at night, and the Gryffindor common room was empty. The surroundings were dark, and only those with a certain amount of courage would dare wander around here alone.
But just as Irina was about to leave the Gryffindor common room, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.
"Damn, a ghost!"
After realizing there was nothing behind her, Irina was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly. At the same time, she raised her hand and cast several freezing charms in the direction she had been in.
A beam of icy blue light shot out like lightning, seemingly striking something.
Immediately, the Invisibility Cloak slipped like flowing water, revealing the child who had been frozen into an ice sculpture inside.
"Stalking me?!"
Irina was stunned for a moment and quickly lifted the curse on the person.
Harry was shivering uncontrollably after being thawed. As he put his Invisibility Cloak back on, he complained, "Irina, you didn't have to be that sensitive, did you? This is the Gryffindor common room, and there are ghosts here, but I don't think you'd be afraid of them!"
Irina snorted, "Who told you to sneak up on me? You deserved to be frozen into an ice sculpture!"
Harry said helplessly, "This Invisibility Cloak is my father's heirloom. I was just planning to test its effect. Then I saw you here and wanted to ask if you'd like to go out together for the night."
Irina stretched her arms out and replied, "With my magical abilities, Filch won't discover me even if I walk around at night without an Invisibility Cloak. But if you use the Invisibility Cloak, can you sneak into the Restricted Section of the library without being caught?"
Although Irina could use various magical techniques to hide her figure, she didn't yet know the Disguise Charm, so naturally, she couldn't sneak into the Restricted Section through Madam Pince's strict defenses.
Harry nodded, "Of course, you didn't notice me just now, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Irina's eyes lit up.
She said to Harry, "Harry, you should try going to the Restricted Section of the library. I've heard that the books there record a lot of powerful magic, which you could use to defeat Malfoy!"
According to the original book's records, after Harry was caught in the Restricted Section of the library, he ran all the way and found an abandoned classroom with the Mirror of Erised. Although the Mirror of Erised couldn't change reality, Irina was still a bit interested in what it showed.
If she could trick Harry into entering the Restricted Section and then have him caught, while following him, she might find that abandoned classroom.
Harry was a bit surprised when he heard Irina's words.
You see, he had dueled Malfoy, but Malfoy had beaten him at every turn, and in the end, it was Hermione who saved the day. Harry was worried about that. Naturally, he hoped he could defeat Malfoy with his own spells.
"I'll go with you, but you have to find the books. I'll hide in the Invisibility Cloak!"
Irina told Harry.
Although Harry was a bit confused, he agreed without hesitation.
The Invisibility Cloak Harry used was large enough for adults, so for him and Irina, it was like a large cloak. Even if both of them hid under it, they could walk side by side, only half a meter apart.
With this, Irina successfully encouraged Harry to enter the Restricted Section of the library.
What happened next wasn't too different from the original work. When Harry was flipping through a book in the Restricted Section, the book suddenly let out a shrill, piercing scream, breaking the silence of the library. This made Harry immediately hide under the Invisibility Cloak and rush away with Irina.
Irina didn't care where Harry was running; she followed him.
Soon, Harry and Irina hid in an abandoned classroom.
It was a deserted classroom. Many desks and chairs were stacked against the walls, casting large dark shadows. There was also a trash can turned upside down. But in front of Harry and Irina, something was placed there that didn't seem to belong in the room, as though someone had temporarily put it there because there was no other place to store it.
It was a magnificent mirror, reaching all the way to the ceiling, with a beautiful golden frame, supported by two claw-shaped feet.
At the top of the mirror, there was an inscription: Eris, Stella, Ohru, Ayiteubi, Kafru, Ayteang, Voorhees.
Reading this line backward, it said: What I show is not your face, but your desire!
Upon reading this inscription, Irina immediately understood that this was the Mirror of Erised!
At that moment, Harry stepped forward and looked into the Mirror of Erised.
After seeing what appeared in the Mirror, Harry gasped and quickly covered his mouth with his hands to stop himself from shouting.
In the Mirror of Erised in front of Harry, there were at least a dozen people standing behind him. But when Harry suddenly turned around, he realized there was no one there except Irina, who looked innocent.
Could it be that all those people were wearing Invisibility Cloaks, and the function of this mirror was to reveal the invisible? Harry thought. He looked closely at the scene in the mirror and saw a woman standing behind him, smiling and waving at him.
This woman was very beautiful, with dark red hair and green eyes exactly like Harry's. Beside her, there was a tall, slim man with black hair, embracing her. The man was wearing glasses, his hair messy, and there was a silly tuft of hair at the back of his head, just like Harry's.
Are… these my parents?
This crazy idea popped into Harry's mind, but as he stared at the couple in the mirror, who looked so much like him, Harry firmly believed his thought was correct.
"Mum?" Harry whispered. "Dad?!"
The people in the mirror smiled at him, and all of them were members of his family.
Just when Harry was lost in the scene shown by the Mirror of Erised, Irina tapped him on the shoulder and woke him up: "Did you see the words on this mirror? Flip it over. Read it!"
Harry looked at her in confusion and did as she said: "What I show is not your face, but your desire."
After saying that, Harry seemed to realize something.
He looked at Irina and asked, "So, the appearance of my parents in this mirror doesn't mean they're still alive, but rather because my deepest desire is to live with my parents?"
Harry said, feeling extremely disappointed.
He thought he could bring back his parents and never have to go back to the cursed Dursleys again.
