I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 158 Activated Alchemy, unexpected product

Ian left the candy store and walked straight to the Leaky Cauldron.

He didn't just make up an excuse just now, he really had something to ask Old Tom, and he asked Old Tom to help find a clerk about a week ago, and when he calculated the date, he would be able to go and see the situation.

Most importantly, this would also leave enough time for Hermione to repair her alchemy works.

Ian is very aware of the difficulty of activated alchemy, which is infinitely close to creation.Ordinary activated items can at best move by themselves, or say a few words mechanically, just like the full-length mirror in the Leaky Cauldron, coming and going are just those few words.

But powerful activated alchemy items seem to have their own thinking, and can even think about problems. One of the most remarkable activated items known is the Hogwarts Sorting Hat.No one dares to underestimate the wisdom of this hat that has been passed down for thousands of years.

……

Ian came to the Leaky Cauldron and saw Old Tom behind the bar very smoothly.Perhaps because school was approaching, Her Royal Highness Hannah did not continue to work part-time in the bar.

"I even thought you forgot. If you don't come again, I'm going to find you." Old Tom said half-jokingly after seeing Ian. "I've found someone for you. Although he's not very smart, he's reliable."

"Merlin's socks, how could I forget what we agreed on." Ian quickly defended, never mentioning that he really forgot about it.

"As long as you are reliable, it doesn't matter if you are not smart. For things like collecting money and making change, I will keep the house elf. Finding a clerk is just to support the facade."

Old Tom nodded. "That's good. This child's life experience is quite rough. Both parents were persecuted 12 years ago. After finishing his studies at Hogwarts on relief, he went to live in the Muggle world alone."

Speaking of this, Old Tom's tone was obviously a little sad. "He obviously underestimated the Muggle world, and overestimated himself... In short, he is a kind boy."

"Kindness is enough." Ian didn't ask about the details of his experience, just like when Old Tom took him in, he didn't ask about the details of his experience.

"I can pay him 5 galleons a week, but he has to find a place to live at night. If possible, let him come to me as soon as possible. I will stay until the end of August."

5 Garen's weekly salary is also the answer that Ian has pondered over and over again, compared with the salary offered by Mrs. Mojin back then.

Therefore, he is very willing to pass on this kindness, and inadvertent kindness often brings unexpected returns, even if he does not ask for returns.

The most typical one is himself. If old Tom and Mrs. Mokin ask, he will really try his best to help.

"Hahaha, it's a very generous reward. I'll let him come down to see you now. He has been living with me during this time." Old Tom said with a smile.

……

By the time Ian returned to the candy store again, two hours had passed.

He also saw the clerk that Old Tom was looking for, Munk Avery, a thin young man who seemed to be chronically malnourished, with a disheveled face.The only advantage is that his facial features are fairly coordinated, a little handsome, but his expression is a little dull.

Although according to Old Tom, the other party is almost 20 years old, but in Ian's opinion, 17 years old is a bit taller.

When he returned to the second floor, he didn't find Hermione. He only saw the brown box on the table and a piece of parchment with a corner pressed down.

Ignoring the box, Ian picked up the parchment, and what caught his eyes was Hermione's handsome handwriting, which only wrote three or four lines.The general content is that she suddenly remembered that she hadn't bought the books for the new school year yet, so she went out to buy alone, so don't worry about her, the box contains trimmed alchemy items and the like...

"School is starting..." Ian felt a little emotional. Unknowingly, he had already entered the second year of school, and he had also lived in the HP world for a whole year.

Unlike Hermione, he didn't need to worry about the new books for the school year at all. After looting the underground vault for the first time in the last days, he turned around and went to Lihen Bookstore to make a lot of purchases.

He has placed orders for all books that can be bought with money, whether it is textbooks, or literati biographies, prose poems, and even Lockhart's novels, he will buy all the books. No mistake.

After putting down the parchment, he turned his attention to the box on the table and gently opened the lid. This time, there was no sound of complaint. Inside was a small mechanical clock of about 12 inches.

The most striking thing is the smart eyes and simple and honest facial features on the top of the clock, coupled with the short limbs, it is cute no matter how you look at it.

Seeing that the box was opened, Clock raised his arm and rubbed his eyes with his hands, as if wiping away the non-existent tear stains, and then said in a childish voice:

"I'm a well-behaved clock, I'm the most obedient, I don't gossip, and I don't have an evil witch who thinks of spring. I can only tell the time, and now I will tell the time..."

Ian's eyes twitched unconsciously when he heard this remark that he was almost named.He almost understood, and Hermione probably felt that she couldn't fix this thing well, so she left a note to avoid embarrassment, and the euphemistic name was-go out to buy books.

"Okay, then Clock, do you have a name?" Ian asked with great interest.It was also the first time he saw such an anthropomorphic activated alchemy item, so he really wanted to know where its limit was.

"I feel like you are not very smart. I am a clock, and my name is also a clock. Your family still needs to give the clock a separate name?" Speaking of which, it jumped up and turned over the box with its short legs. He sat quietly on the table.

At the same time, in a childish voice, he said to himself:

"The clock doesn't want to talk to him, it's too stupid. You can't chat with him, and you can't get too close to him, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of my broadcast time."

After speaking, it actually moved back two steps.

When Ian saw the remarks and behavior of the clock, he became more and more interested.At the same time, I was a little curious, how did Hermione make this thing, this level of activated alchemy cannot be made casually.

"Come on, we can still chat. And, you see, I'm a little far away from you."

Ian followed suit and took a few steps back, sitting on the sofa by the wall.

"A very pitiful wizard, what kind of misery have you experienced? You have been reduced to obsessively looking for a clock to chat with." While talking, he did not forget to cover his forehead with his small hand, which is above the clock. the little spire.

"But the clock still doesn't want to talk to you. I am a clock. I have a job. I need to broadcast the time every day. If you are really bored, you can chat with the evil witch."

"Hahaha." These words successfully made Ian laugh out loud. "Although you have a job, I don't need you to tell the time right now. How about we talk about the Wicked Witch and see how evil she is."

Ian thought that after he brought up this topic, it would resonate with the clock, but who knew that this guy became silent in an instant. If it weren't for his blinking little eyes, he even thought the other party had died.

"Oh? Are you so interested in evil witches? I can chat with you."

A cold voice came from behind, making his joy just now disappear, and the whole person froze there.
