Magic mirror

NCBIS school (Cairo)


Ministry of Magic

Investigative report

Date: 14 November 2002.

Item Location: 29 Three Ville Road (should be kept in attic).

Current owner: Mr.Levelle (bachelor) Found mirror when moving in.

Description of item:

One old-fashioned mirror (approximate date of manufacture, 1870) that is:

  • two feet long
  • gold framed
  • oval shaped.

Current Problem: Owner reports that the mirror keeps getting out of the attic and hanging itself on the walls. Every time someone passes by it captures their image and mixes it up with others. Now instead of showing the reflection of the person in front of it, it shows someone or something else’s reflection.

It makes all his visitors get a shock of their lives and they start getting panicked. Sometimes when the mirror is changing places, it knocks everything in its way down. So far the bachelor’s fiancé is still in the hospital after the mirror manages to swing her all the way out of town. She was apparently trying to stop the mirror from damaging her ancient tea set. She broke every single bone except for her skull. On the 30th of September, the mirror was examined by an antique shop owner. He claims he’s never seen it before and it should sell for a good price, however the shop owner is reluctant to buy it.

Owner is now in a frightened stage and always crawls everywhere. He is finding a buyer hoping to sell it for good money because of its gold frame.

Further investigation: An investigation of the history reveals that it belonged to a fine witch, Mrs Baendebell, who bewitched it to scare the muggles from staring into her beloved mirror. Apparently the mirror was her dead husband. She decided to transfigure him into the mirror. After she died in 1930, she passed it on to her daughter who hated mirrors. She obviously didn’t know it was her father and carelessly sold it to a muggle for a good price.

Recommendation: Send an unafraid Ministry of Magic employee (with a bonus if he gets the job well done) to buy the mirror from Mr Levelle and give it back to Mrs Baendebell’s descendants. If they don’t want it, undo the spell and give it to Mr Weasley for collection. If this doesn’t work, it will need to be removed by the Retrieval Branch.

Name of investigator: Wei Yee Chan.
