Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

After some nonsense, Albus looked at Stone's right hand, "Can I see your ring?"

"Ah? How did you know?"

"I happened to see it," Albus said.

"You're the only one who has a ghost," Stone thought to himself, but he still took off the ring with the baseball bat on it.

After taking the ring, Albus weighed it, glanced through the gap, and gave it back to Stone:

"If I guess correctly, you are looking for knowledge of alchemy, right?"

Hearing this, Stone's eyes lit up:

"Correct!"

One of the introductions about Albus was that he was a master of alchemy, and Stone suspected that his glasses were made by him.

"Can you teach me...tell me how to learn true alchemy?"

"There is no alchemy course in our school." Albus asked in confusion, "Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because we teach ancient runes."

"What do you mean?" Stone asked.

He didn't get the answer he wanted. The moment he blinked, Albus had disappeared.

"You're all playing like this? Can you finish it all at once?!" Stone wailed.

There is no way, although it is very helpless, but at least I got a direction, which is not bad.

Ancient Runes is an elective for the third grade. If you want to learn it in advance, there are only two ways: ask senior students for advice or go to the library to study on your own. Penello is in fifth grade and is very busy. Apart from her, Stone doesn't know any other senior classmates and can only go to the library.

He tapped his toes on the ground a few times and finally pointed towards the greenhouse. The main course still has to be attended.

The Herbology class was taken with Slytherin. When Stone arrived, Professor Sprout had also just arrived. When he saw Stone, he checked the register and started teaching.

The first herbal medicine class was about cinnamon, a plant used for healing and can also be used to make potions.

Their learning content in this class was to loosen the soil of Bai Xian, and they were all disgraced by the end of class.

After cleaning, when Stone was about to walk to the library, he was blocked by Malfoy. He stood in front of Stone with his arms folded:

"I know you have issues with Potter, but don't expect to get my help. However, if you are willing to beg me, I might ask you to run errands for me."

"No need."

"What?" Malfoy's eyes widened and he sneered: "He is indeed a bumpkin. I can tell you my name and give you another chance. I am..."

"roll."

"How dare you scold me?" With that said, Malfoy took out his wand.

"Alas -" Stone sighed helplessly.

Then, before the wand was pointed at him, he shook his arm violently. A baseball bat appeared spinning in mid-air, and the next moment it hit Malfoy's arm hard.

With the crisp sound of fractures, the wand flew out.

Stone retracted his arm, held the bat tightly with both hands, and stabbed Malfoy in the abdomen.

Everything happened in a flash, and before his two followers could react, Malfoy screamed and fell to the ground.

"I usually give people a chance." Stone stepped on his wand and said, "You can still be awake this time, but not necessarily next time."

After speaking, he looked at Malfoy's two followers.

The latter staggered back and gave way to the passage.

Now Stone understands why Dumbledore gave such advice at the opening party - there are really a lot of idiots in the school.

It’s unclear whether there will be trouble. At the very least, it’s a simple conflict between students, and at the most serious level, it’s a conflict between bloodlines.

Everything depends on the attitude of the school. The current situation is considered favorable, so he still feels very calm.

The worst case scenario is to go back home and transfer to another school. There can't be only one magic school in the world, right?

... ...

The library is on the second floor.

After entering the library, Stone immediately found the administrator, Mrs. Pince, and asked about books about ancient runes.

"On the ninth bookshelf."

"Thank you."

In the sea of ​​books, Stone found two books, one called "Ancient Runes" and the other called "Runes and Alchemy".

The attraction was so great that he sat down directly on the table next to the bookshelf and opened the first book.

There are some large gilded characters on the title page of the book that read:

[I was stabbed with a spear; I was used as a sacrifice to the priest]

【I will sacrifice myself to myself, on the big tree that no one knows】

【Nine nights hanging on the tree swaying in the strong wind】

[No bread to satisfy hunger, no water to quench thirst]

[I looked down and picked up the runes]

[Shouting while picking it up, it fell from the tree]

Unable to understand, Stone turned to the next page.

There is also no text, just some notes written in small characters:

Ancient runes contain extraordinary power. Early wizards used them for spells, but their uncertainty often brought danger, so they were abandoned by modern wizards.

However, ancient runes have not completely lost their role. Modern wizards have applied them to divination, alchemy and other fields.

"So that's it."

Combined with the annotation, Stone seemed to understand the meaning of the gilded words.

Runes should be the spells used by wizards in the primitive era, and the 'I' may be the one who invented the runes, but more like the person who compiled the runes summary into a book, so he did not sign the book.

‘Quite kind. ’ Shi thought.

He turned to the next page and saw a strange character.

It is pronounced as (fehu) and has a very strange shape. It is vertical, with a diagonal line extending upwards in the middle and a quarter of the vertical line, forming an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical line.

The meanings of the characters are many: herd, property, success, wealth, fire...

No wonder it was abandoned. With so many meanings, it is indeed very easy to be in danger.

The book is thin but has a lot of information.

There are twenty-four characters like this in total. It has been a long time since I completely read and memorized them, and Mrs. Pince has come to remind me many times.

Since he didn't know the connection between the two books, Stone borrowed two books and planned to go back and read them side by side.

... ...

After answering the question, Stone walked into the common room.

There were many people in the lounge, standing, sitting, familiar and unfamiliar people. When Stone came in, they all looked over.

"What's wrong?" Stone asked confused.

"That's too much!" Penello said angrily, "Slytherin was obviously the one who brought this up first, so why only punish you?"

"That's right!" A seventh-grade classmate stood up, "Do you think we Ravenclaws are easy to bully?"

"Um...can I ask first what the consequences of the punishment are?"

"Don't you know?" Penello asked softly.

"I don't know, I've been in the library." As he said that, Stone raised the two books in his hand.

After hearing Stone's words and looking at his confused face, Penello became even more angry:

"Why! Those who study seriously will be punished, but those who provoke and cause trouble are fine! I want to go find the principal!"

"Uh..." Stone gulped, "So what is the punishment? Is it really serious?"

"They deducted all the points you earned starting school!" Penello yelled.

"..." Stone was a little confused by the yelling, and he picked his ears: "Fortunately, it's not much."

"Twelve points!" Penello said, "The key is that the problem is not how many points were deducted, but the deducting of points itself, which is so unreasonable."

"It doesn't matter," Stone said. "If you think about it from another perspective, beating him once every 12 points is actually earned."

earn?

Earned, twelve points in exchange for peace of mind, Dumbledore's way of handling it was very considerate of him, because he was really annoyed by these nonsense.

"That's it, senior sister." Stone said again, "Don't bother me anymore, I'm going back to reading."

"call--"

Looking at the pitiful Stone, Penello felt very distressed. She walked over and rubbed Stone's hair, then held him in her arms.

After her, all the classmates came over and patted Stone on the head and shoulders one after another. Many of them followed Penello's example and held him in their arms.

"..."

Stone was helpless.

The boys were okay, most of them looked at me with encouragement.

But every one of those girls, including second-year Qiu Zhang, looked at them... as if they were looking at their own sons?
