Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

Chapter 101 My fans, mine!

However, Hermione couldn't guess what Stone was thinking, and after chatting for a while, she went to queue again.

No way, the purpose of attending the autograph session is not just to get an autograph, but more importantly, to meet him.

"Ugh--"

Stone sighed deeply and walked out of the bookstore.

When they walked out of the door, Malfoy and his son were walking inside. Both parties noticed each other, and both chose to turn a blind eye.

Stone didn't know what the other party was thinking. He only knew that he was quite happy to see this situation - no one likes to have flies buzzing in their ears all the time, right?

Then, he sat on the chair opposite the bookstore and waited. He and Hermione made an appointment to customize the Hogwarts uniforms. The first-year uniforms were a bit too small.

Then, there was a commotion in the bookstore. It was not the kind of commotion caused by seeing an idol, but a signal that a 'war' was about to begin.

Stone craned his neck to see what was going on inside the store.

It was Weasley and Malfoy who were 'butting the bull', and Hermione was not affected.

So he felt relieved, and then a faint feeling of pity arose - it would be better if he had a handful of melon seeds.

At this time, a fragrant wind blew over, followed by a sentence:

"What happened inside?"

It was Penello's voice, and Stone replied casually: "The fight is about to begin."

While speaking, he glanced at Penello next to him, and then he couldn't move his eyes away.

Penello held a paper bag in his hand, and Stone could smell the scent inside.

Then—bring it to you.

The bag contained roasted or fried peas, which were very fragrant. Stone grabbed a handful and ate it.

"..."

Penello showed a speechless look, but what can be done? You can pet your own cub by yourself.

She also sat next to Stone and watched the live drama with great interest.

At this moment, two adults were fighting together, flanked by another group of screaming adults and Weasley children who were cheering for their father.

It's a pity that the excitement didn't last long.

Just when they were fighting inextricably, the giant Hagrid stepped into the bookstore and pulled them up one by one.

The next step was to talk cruelly, which was not interesting. Stone clapped his hands and returned the snack bag to Penello.

"Okay, you can make alchemy for the Ministry of Magic."

Obviously, Penello was reading the newspaper. When she said this, she felt that her face also gained brilliance.

"Just have fun and earn some living expenses."

......

The two chatted for a while until the storm in the bookstore subsided, and then they stood up.

"I'm going to buy books, what about you?" Penello asked.

"Wait for her to order uniforms together." Stone pointed at Hermione who was running over.

"Come on~"

After saying that, Penello walked towards the bookstore, and when he was about to enter, he turned back and gave Stone a look like "I'm optimistic about you~".

"..." Stone twitched the corner of his mouth and dragged Hermione away.

The two of them spent the afternoon shopping in Diagon Alley, custom-made clothes, eating some delicious food, and buying some goodies.

As for Lockhart, Stone didn't mention it. After all, who said a person can't have two idols?

When the orange light of the setting sun was about to be swallowed up by the night, Stone sent Hermione home.

"Goodbye." Hermione waved.

"See you."

Then, in Hermione's surprised gaze, Stone turned into silver light flying all over the sky.

... ...

On September 9, Stone took a train to King's Cross Station.

There was no way, there were too many Muggles at the station, and he couldn't teleport directly to the platform in a high-profile manner, so he could only use ordinary transportation.

During the few days he stayed at home, he was not idle and wrote down the alchemy knowledge he knew in an unnamed book.

In fact, there is not much content, just a small amount of talismans, the spelling and characterization structure of runes, and some of my own understanding of alchemy.

But because he was using cursive calligraphy, which he had just learned, it still took a long time to record the things in the book. It is always better to be more formal and comfortable to look at.

Summarizing the 'work' of the past few days in his mind, before he knew it, Stone had arrived at King's Cross Station.

Entering platform nine and three-quarters, the familiar noise returned.

In a huge sea of people, Stone passed through the crowded freshmen, boarded the train, and went to his usual carriage.

"Hey Stone, long time no see."

Anthony in the carriage opened his arms.

"Well, long time no see."

However, Stone did not open his arms, but stretched out his hand.

There is no need to hug or anything like that. If a handshake is too harsh, just give it a high five.

"pia~"

When the Patil sisters also came in, a sharp whistle sounded and the train started slowly.

Several people chased Stone and asked about the internal structure of the Ministry of Magic.

Stone's impression of the Ministry of Magic was average, but his friend wanted to know, so he briefly chatted about it.

When the topic came to what he saw and heard during his vacation, Stone lost interest. Feeling bored, he took out a strange wooden box from his backpack, which was flat and square.

This wooden box was another thing that Nico Flamel left him.

These days, when he is free from writing books, he will study this cryptex.

There are twenty-four metal squares on the square wooden box lid, which are movable, just like Huarong Road.

Each diamond has a rune on it, and it's obvious that the way to unlock the cryptex is to move the diamonds into the correct position to form a specific sentence.

Stone has memorized all the known meanings of each rune, but he is still a little helpless in the face of this Huarong Dao.

Although there are many repetitions among the twenty-four diamond pieces, there are still too many possibilities. I don’t know how long I will have to try them one by one.

Gently playing with the rune cubes, Stone thought about other ways to break the game.

However......

The world is in turmoil and my mind is a mess.

This was his true state of mind when he answered this question.

Suddenly, the carriage door suddenly opened:

"Have you met Harry and Ron?"

The sound of pushing the door startled Stone, but he was annoyed... It was Hermione, so it's okay.

But the words that followed made Stone frown:

"Aren't they your friends? Why do you come to us to look for them?"

"Uh-uh..."

Stone was in a bad mood, Hermione could tell.

She blinked, and an idea occurred to her involuntarily:
