Hogwarts: Blood of Alduin

"Bryce, do you remember the Sorcerer's Stone?" Dumbledore looked at Bryce and asked.

"I know that the Philosopher's Stone was refined by Nicolas Flamel, the famous French alchemist and the founder of alchemy. It is said to have the effect of extending human life." Bryce replied.

"Would you like to meet this great ancestor of alchemy?" Dumbledore asked.

"Didn't you say that he died because the Magic Stone was destroyed?" Bryce asked.

"The Philosopher's Stone may be a dangerous thing, but it has to be said that it is a great product. Nico Flamel is not willing to destroy it just like that. He said that he will not destroy it or pass it on until he finds the successor." Dumbledore said.

"You mean, he's looking for me?" Bryce asked.

"Yes, summer vacation is coming soon. This time you will have two months of vacation, which is enough for you to learn about alchemy." Dumbledore said.

"Is this why you didn't take winter vacation?" Bryce asked.

"After all, no one wants their vacation to be cut in half, right?" Dumbledore said.

"Of course I have to learn something as mysterious as alchemy. When will I go?" Bryce asked.

"Any time," Dumbledore replied.

"What do I need to bring?" Bryce asked again.

"Look at yourself Blaise," Dumbledore said.

"Okay, Principal Dumbledore, please wait for me a moment, I'll call Cassandra." Bryce said.

"Cassandra also has something to learn, but it's not alchemy. Bryce, you have to be separated from her for a while." Dumbledore said.

"What does she want to learn? Why can't she learn alchemy?" Bryce asked.

"Prophecy. What Cassandra wants to learn is prophecy and divination. She has already agreed. The time should have arrived now, but don't worry about Bryce. The place where you learn alchemy and divination is not very far away." Deng Bullido said.

"Then where did she go?" Bryce said.

"It's an astrologer's house in France, and you are going to France. Because astrologers and alchemy are protected, you can't go together. You can only go through the Floo Network." Dumbledore said.

"Then let's go now, Principal Dumbledore." Bryce said.

Then the two of them walked into the fireplace one by one, sprinkled Floo powder, and arrived at Nico Flamel's home in just a moment.

"Albus! Long time no see, you brought my little apprentice." came an old but energetic voice.

Bryce looked up and saw an old man with a pale face and wrinkles walking tremblingly towards Bryce on crutches.

"No need to help me, I can do it. I think I can still fight another Dark Lord." Nico saw Bryce wanting to step forward to help him and immediately stopped him.

Five minutes later, Nico Flamel finally arrived in front of Bryce. He raised his hand and patted Bryce on the face and said, "Not bad, not bad, very similar to that old guy."

Bryce stood there and didn't dare to move, because just when the man known as the ancestor of alchemy was patting his face, he clearly heard the clicking sound from the palm bones.

"Mr. Flamel, your finger seems to be broken." Bryce looked at Flamel and said.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. This is an old problem and it will be cured soon." After saying this, Flamel actually broke off the severed finger and then said, "Look, isn't this better?"

Bryce looked at the hands with horror on his face, and listened to the oozing clicking sound and couldn't help but admired, "You are really amazing."

"Of course, I am over 800 years old." Flamel replied proudly.

"..." Bryce was so shocked by the person in front of him that he couldn't speak. He could only stand there at a loss.

"Lemay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. After all, Hogwarts still has a lot of things to do, and I have to be busy recruiting a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor," Dumbledore said.

Then Dumbledore walked into the fireplace without looking back and disappeared with a flash of flames.

"Okay Bryce, from now on I will teach you alchemy as your teacher. Don't let me down." Flamel said seriously.

Just when Bryce was about to answer, an old voice suddenly came from the room, saying, "Okay Nico, don't embarrass the child. He just arrived here not long ago. I think he must be hungry. Please put aside his studies first." .”

"I know, Pannelly, I'll come right away." Flamel replied.

"That's your wife. Pan Neili is a nagging old woman. Don't listen to her loud voice. She's not much younger than me." Flamel said.

"I heard it!" Pan Naili shouted.

"Come on, Bryce, if she gets angry, the consequences will be very serious." Flamel urged and walked towards the room, even walking a little faster.

When Bryce saw this, he immediately followed him. After all, there was an 800-year-old monster over there. It would be bad if he fell.

"Let me see, he is such a handsome young man. That old guy Latina actually took away the lovely Cassandra. It is really abominable." Pan Neili said viciously.

"Okay Panellie, Cassandra has a talent for divination. We shouldn't bury it. Now let's eat first. Bryce has to start learning alchemy after dinner." Flamel said.

"Rabbi! What are you waiting for? Bring the food quickly." Pannelly shouted loudly when she heard Flamel's words.

"Yes, ma'am, I'm coming." A house elf suddenly appeared and said.Then the food was served to the table in an orderly manner.

"Come on, eat more, kid, and see how thin you have become." Pan Neili said as she put food on Bryce's plate.

"Thank you, Ms. Panellie," Bryce replied.

……

"Come with me, Bryce, to witness the magic of alchemy." Flamel said to Bryce after the meal.

Then the two of them opened a room with various instruments placed in it. Looking at these things, Bryce felt like he was as ignorant as a local dog.

"Look, Bryce is the Philosopher's Stone, the work I'm most proud of, even though it made me vulnerable," Flamel said.

Bryce looked in the direction that Flamel pointed, and saw a purple stone floating quietly inside a transparent magic shield, with a huge magical aura and blood on it.

"It should take a lot of blood to make the magic stone." Bryce asked.

"You are very keen, Bryce. It would take at least 1 people to condense the blood on this. Of course, I was not a murderer when I was young. It was collected during the war." Flamel said.

"I understand," Bryce replied.

"Then let's start the class now. First you have to understand what alchemy is." Flamel said.
