Soaring at Hogwarts

Hearing that Ian didn't plan to go back, Samantha simply stayed.

The Heseltines expressed a bit of disappointment. In order to ease their emotions, they wrote a letter saying that they decided to accompany the Weasleys to Romania - the Weasleys were going to visit Charlie, and they were going to see the dragon.

Well, he seems to be in a pretty good mood.

Before Christmas, Ian finally sorted out the mind-purifying spells and gave them to the principal and deans.

The trio devoted themselves with great enthusiasm to learning about Professor Dumbledore's life, and soon discovered who Nico really was.

After all, even the Chocolate Frog cards have Dumbledore's alchemical achievements marked on them, which is pretty easy to find.

The discovery of the secret gave them such satisfaction that even a fight with Malfoy did not dampen their mood.

Slytherin's defeat in the game caused Malfoy to keep badmouthing Harry. As a result, he and his two followers Harry, Ron and Neville got into a fight.

Unfortunately, he was hit by Ian, and the result is needless to say.

"Strange, don't you know how to use evil spells?" Ian said in confusion.Before he came, several people were still passionately choosing to compete with fists to the flesh.

"I don't think they know a few jinxes at all," Hermione said pointedly.

Harry and Ron were very embarrassed and wanted Ian to teach a few, but unfortunately Ian was too busy recently and had to decline.

He has to guard the Forbidden Forest, take care of the medicine fields, and study magic spells and magic stones.

Witnessed by many professors, the Philosopher's Stone itself had been put away, so Dumbledore chose a trick - Philosopher's Stone powder.

Ian saw the magic stone powder from Professor Gilani, a small bottle of purple-red, shiny powder.

"These little things can make elixirs of life and gold," Gilani said. "The gold can even be softer and brighter than ordinary gold."

"Is that still gold?"

"As long as everyone thinks it is, then it is, right?" Gilani said in a roundabout way.

"So, are you going to make some gold or an elixir?"

Gilani’s eyes were bright.

Ian replied without hesitation: "Gold."

"why?"

"Ah, to tell you the truth, I am relatively short of money." Ian scratched his head and tugged on the old robe on his body. "Not long ago, I bought a bunch of realgar, copperware and other things. I am already completely broke. .”

"As for the elixir of life...I'm not afraid of death anyway." Ian said with a smile.

"Hmm? Young people are always like this, but don't you want to prepare something for when you get older? These are quite sufficient."

"No need," Ian shook his head, "What I'm sure of is that I'm not afraid of death, not even when I grow old."

"Why?" Gilani was a little curious now.

"Do you believe in reincarnation, Gilani?" Ian said, looking directly at him.

"Oh……"

"I know there is," Ian continued, becoming serious, "and the immortality created by the Sorcerer's Stone can't escape reincarnation, can it?"

"Your ambition is loftier than I thought, Ian." Gilani put his eyes on the small bottle, "Then, let's get started."

Under Gilani's guidance, Ian began to explore the various properties of the magic stone and tried to turn the metal into gold.

This kept him busy. After all, you have to control the heat of alchemy yourself to gain experience, and this requires constant guarding by the furnace.

Ian still has to take time to visit the medicine field, but he is really busy.

"Didi! Your cookies are gone!"

Ian didn't hide it from Dumbledore in the medicine field, nor could he hide it from the centaurs, unicorns and various monsters in the Forbidden Forest.

In order to strengthen the defense of the medicine field, Ian asked Didi to help keep an eye on it.And Didi probably saw that Ian sometimes sprinkled some water or something - so he followed suit and peed in the field.

This time Ian happened to see it.

Didi looked at him aggrievedly, wondering what he had done wrong.

Ian looked up to the sky and sighed, but fed the biscuits to Didi.

Anyway, the Ganoderma lucidum hasn’t grown yet, so it won’t have any impact—probably?

…………I love the most when a child dies, lying at the head of a stream peeling off lotus pods…………

Back in the castle, Ian sat tiredly at the dining table.The little badgers are all discussing the upcoming Christmas holidays in a cheerful mood.

"I want a new broom, preferably one with a light wheel. To be honest, I'm tired of sweeping the seven stars..."

Yes, it’s time to prepare Christmas gifts.Ian thought.

Mom and Dad could give her a magic amulet, and Samantha could just give her a notebook.

Ian counted them one by one.

What did Mr. Ollivander give?Didi’s tail is furry, not bad.

Ian silently decided that Didi wanted to say goodbye to his favorite tail feathers - this was the first time Didi "gifted" a tail feather to make a wand.

The words of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are probably also magical talismans, but they are engraved on Muggle supplies.

Just give candies to the little wizards, and add alchemical powder to the energizing Leapfrog - maybe I can sell this recipe to the Chocolate Frog Company to get some blood back.

All that's left are the professors.

Mr. Principal is not short of anything, so let’s give him candy too.So does Professor McGonagall. What does she like?Ginger Salamander Cookies?Professor Sprout, you can give me some humus from the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid gives some enchanted crossbow arrows and buys some dog food for Yaya.

Ian considered for a second whether to give Professor Snape a gift, but then gave up the idea immediately.

Oh, and Professor Gilani, another one who lacks everything.

At this time, a person sat next to Ian, Hufflepuff's prefect Gabriel Truman.

"Good evening, Ian." He said kindly, "Staying for the holidays? Hogwarts will become very beautiful by then - a different style from Halloween, you will like it."

"Well," Ian suddenly thought that he could ask these senior students, "Gabri, do you know what Professor Gilani likes?"

"Who?" Gabriel said doubtfully.

"Damasi Gilani, our professor of alchemy."

"I don't know this professor," Gabriel shook his head, "Alchemy has few candidates, maybe you can ask those Ravenclaws.

If you have a good relationship with Gryffindor, you can also ask their prefect Percy, he is an honor student. "

"Okay, thank you Gabri."

But Percy didn't know either.

"You have to meet a certain standard to take alchemy, but no one knows what the standard is." Percy said this, looking aggrieved.

"Percy wants to take alchemy in sixth grade. He wants to get all the NEWT certificates." Fred explained quietly, "He is very disappointed with this."

Ian had no choice but to give up and asked directly when he met Gilani: "Gilani, what do you want for Christmas? Do you want to use the magic stone to make some elixir for you?"

"Are you laughing at me, kid?" Gilani snorted, "I have plenty of Christmas gifts, but I do need one."

"What is it?"

"Will you give it to me if you tell me?" Gilani asked slyly.

"As long as I can."

Gilani helped Ian a lot, and Ian learned a lot from him.

Gilani gave it up: "Then wait until the day I want it, and I will tell you."
