The Mightiest Aurors of Hogwarts

As the air fluctuated, Aesop apparated to the door of a basement. Just as he was about to push the door in, he found that the door control restrictions had been reset.

This was the alchemy laboratory that originally belonged to Nick Flamel. According to the legendary alchemist's will, this secret laboratory in England will be inherited by Aesop and another of his disciples.

Aesop had already visited this alchemy laboratory after returning to the UK. It must be said that the luxury of this laboratory was something that he could not afford even with his lifelong salary as an Auror.Not long ago, it was here that he completed the refining of [Red Stone].

And the old naughty boy undoubtedly made a little joke with the successor of the laboratory - the access control of this laboratory is a constantly changing rune. In other words, if you don't have the foundation of ancient magic script, even if you have The heir cannot enter either.

I remember that the magic text I set when I entered last time was not this sentence - "Plan and then act."

Aesop clicked his wand on the door, and the runes on it surged like water. The way to open the door was to select some words and arrange them into a smooth sentence.

This is a game that tests not only your eyesight, but also...well, your ability to form sentences.

Soon, under the command of the wand, a new sentence composed of ancient runic symbols appeared on the door.

If translated into modern English, it would be - who is in it?

The stone door popped open automatically, and Aesop's wand retracted into his sleeve. He lowered his hand so that he could slide the wand back into his hand as soon as possible.

There are more than a dozen small rooms in the basement, but at this moment, only the laboratory at the end of the corridor is still lit.

It is said that this alchemy laboratory was converted from a Muggle weapons research base, and it is first-class in terms of safety and concealment.

Aesop saw that in the brightly lit laboratory, a blond witch was pouring a whole jar of red powder into a boiling crucible.

Because she was too focused, the witch wearing a T-shirt and with a good figure did not notice the person coming.

Finally, with constant stirring, the liquid in the crucible became clear and transparent, and the red medicinal powder also condensed into a crystal.

"Congratulations, you successfully made a red stone."

The French witch waved her magic wand and took out the red stone from the crucible. Then she replied in fluent English: "There is nothing to congratulate. Here is the best alchemy equipment in the world and almost With the infinite materials, and the fact that Teacher Nico has disclosed the research notes of the Philosopher's Stone, it would be strange that the red stone cannot be made. Moreover, judging from the material consumption in the laboratory, you have already succeeded, Mr. Aesop."

She called Mr. Flamel "Teacher Nico", and Aesop looked at the perfect red stone in his hand: "So you should be Mr. Flamel's disciple. You already know my identity, but I don't know you yet." name."

The young witch let out a pleasant laugh: "Is this how you always talk to girls, Mr. Aesop?"

"Well, my name is Catherine. Nice to meet you, Mr. Archmage, the youngest."

"Are you French?" After living in Europe for so long, Aesop has been able to distinguish the subtle differences between British, French and German people.

Catherine's face is perfect, no matter what country's standards, but it is indeed a very French face.

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Catherine's eyes also moved on Aesop's face, as if she was very curious about the youngest archmage, "I used to work for Gringotts in France, but this year I was transferred to Gringotts in the UK. Ge, I think this is why Teacher Nico left half of this alchemy laboratory to me."

Maybe it was just one of the reasons. Aesop touched his nose awkwardly: "Are you the Curse Breaker of Gringotts?"

Ron's eldest brother Bill Weasley is Gringotts' curse-breaker. Catherine is good at alchemy and may be more qualified for this job.

Unexpectedly, the French witch shook her head: "Investor."

"It's just to help Gringotts find some profitable businesses. After all, Galleons won't grow on their own if you put them there. The commissions in this business are generous, if you can really help those goblins make money. You can support them as a curse breaker I can’t help myself, after all, alchemy is too expensive.”

This answer was beyond Aesop's expectations. He really didn't know that Gringotts was still in the investment business.

"By the way," Catherine suddenly smiled at Aesop, "Since we are all in this alchemy laboratory, we might as well agree in advance that even if this room is my exclusive laboratory, you can find it wherever you like. One room will be your private laboratory. The rest will be shared by us. As for the alchemy materials here, each person will have half of them. Just register them when you use them. How about it?"

Aesop naturally had no objection, as his interest in alchemy was not too strong.

Catherine grabbed the coat on the back of the chair and put it on, and stretched out her hand towards Aesop: "To celebrate that I made red stone in one go, I also specially ordered a French restaurant. Do you want to come with me, Mr. Aesop? By the way, I still have something to talk to you about, Mr. Archmage, the youngest.”

Aesop hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held her hand: "As you wish, Miss Catherine."

The two figures disappeared from the underground laboratory, and when they reappeared, they were already in the corner of a French restaurant.

"The food in England is really not very delicious, so I always go back to France every time I celebrate myself." Catherine handed the menu to Aesop, "The coffee here is good, but if you want burgers, you may need to buy them outside."

"You seem to know me very well." Whether it's coffee or burgers, they are indeed Aesop's must-have foods.

"Don't look at me like that, Mr. Aesop, the look in your eyes will scare me." There was no look of fear on Catherine's face. "Teacher Nico often mentioned you to me. The same thing happened last time I chatted with him. The last time we chatted, he also mentioned you." Catherine clapped her hands and signaled the waiter to serve the food.

"What did Mr. Flamel say about me?" Aesop felt slightly sad thinking of Nico who had passed away.

"We talked about the Archmage's way of magic, your way of magic."

Aesop, who was arranging the napkin, suddenly paused: "I'm really surprised by your frankness."

In front of an archmage, tell him that you are investigating his magic method?

Aesop finally knew why Catherine became Mr. Nico's student. They were really similar.

"You know, many people are curious about this, as long as they know that you are already a wizard." Catherine thanked the waiter who served the food in French, and then immediately switched back to English.

"You are very talented in languages." Aesop seemed to be planning to change the subject.

"Yes, I can speak six languages." Miss Catherine nodded and changed the topic back, "By the way, Mr. Dumbledore is particularly curious."

"He gave Mr. Nico many memories, all about you, Mr. Aesop - the memories of you among the professors and students at Hogwarts."

"Mr. Dumbledore hopes that Teacher Nico can analyze your magic method through those memories."
