Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

Chapter 104 Can I ask you a question?

This is true.

At least at this stage, the name of the savior is still very popular in the wizarding world. Whether it is a small thing or a big thing to drive a car to the sky depends on the decision of the Ministry of Magic.

Thanks to Fudge, the Ministry of Magic has almost become a place where corruption is rampant.

For the sake of his own performance and future, it was impossible for Fudge to let Harry Potter, who was popular among the wizarding world, be punished, including Weasley who was traveling with him.

The car was most likely made by the Weasley family. As the instigators, they would at most be called in for investigation, fined, and then left alone.

so......

"Yes, the people want it, they will be fine."

Stone, who understood Luna's words, explained it to Penello in detail.

"Oh fine."

Penelo didn't care, after all, this matter had nothing to do with her, and it didn't have much to do with Percy either. It's just a pity that she can't ride in a flying car.

"..."

Looking at Penello's distracted look, Stone knew what she was thinking without having to guess, and said:

"A car is definitely not possible, but a horse-drawn carriage is possible."

"Oh?"

Then, before she could say anything, Stone looked at Luna:

"I think thestrals have wings, can they fly?"

"of course."

"Are there other similar flying creatures?"

"Yes." Luna nodded, "Thestrals are a type of Pegasus, and there are many Pegasus."

She explained the existing types of Pegasus to Stone, and then added:

"However, if you want to raise one, you need a special certificate. The application process is very strict."

Stone looked at Penelo:

"It sounds troublesome, but at least there is hope."

"Hi -" Penello waved his hand, "It's just a wish. If you have a chance, you can work hard. If you don't have a chance, forget it. You don't have to worry too much about it."

"Ah."

Stone stopped talking.

Soon after, the food on the long table disappeared. Dumbledore stood up, said some precautions, and waved his wand.

The long sash dropped down, with a new set of lyrics written on it.

The "Funeral March" was played, and the dinner ended with a thousand different tunes.

... ...

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

Well, I finished learning how to bark.

Watching Stone walking away with the girl, Hermione quickly completed her vows and chased after him.

... ...

There are no moles, everyone is smart.

On the way back to Ravenclaw Tower, Stone talked with Penello and Luna about alchemy in the Ministry of Magic. Of course, they talked about another version different from Anthony and the others.

The three of them all had their own ideas, and the atmosphere was pretty good.

Until Hermione stopped Stone angrily.

"Uh..." Penello patted Stone on the shoulder and left, with a feeling that 'everything was left unsaid'.

Luna glanced back and forth between the two of them, seeming to understand something.

"I know you are a very smart person," she said to Stone, "but sometimes you really can't think too much and just follow your heart."

After saying that, she also followed Penello's pace.

"Follow your heart..."

Stone murmured in a low voice and looked at Hermione, who had a bulging face.

"Ha~ want to go for a walk together?"

"Okay - um!" Hermione covered her mouth to seal the words that came out of her mouth.

Her eyes rolled around and she thought:

‘No, I’ve already been a dog once. Moreover, it was Stone who spoke first, so I don’t count as taking the initiative! ’

"Okay." She let go of her hand and tapped her toes on the floor, "Then let's go for a spin~"

"Ha~"

Looking around, it was Hermione's routine. Stone didn't say anything and turned around and walked towards the quad.

After confirming that Hermione's footsteps were following behind him, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"I am less than twelve years old and you are less than thirteen years old. I have always thought that the feelings of children at our age are relatively vain. Don't think about the future, just look at the present. After the short and brilliant fireworks, all that is left is Dark gunpowder residue.”

"Well..." Hermione followed silently, whether angry or enthusiastic, she cooled down after hearing these words.

"I can probably guess what you are thinking." Stone continued, "But like I just said, I am afraid, afraid of the present, afraid of the future, afraid of ending up without a cure."

"Um......"

Thinking about it carefully, Hermione could understand what Stone was saying. They are Muggle-born wizards. No matter how much emphasis is placed on the laws, the fact is that in all aspects, pure-blood wizards have a great advantage in the wizarding world.

She understood, but she hadn't thought about it. She just hadn't thought that Stone was worried so much.

It turns out that my relationship is going to end in vain.

Hermione thought pessimistically.

And Stone spoke again:

"Many people say I don't have courage, including the Sorting Hat... Yes, I admit it, I like to plan first and act second."

"I thought it was a plus, well... most of the time, but I was criticized by Penelo and Luna just now."

"Yeah." Hermione nodded. She also heard what she said just now. Was that girl named Luna?

While he was thinking, Stone suddenly turned around.

"I think they are right to criticize - so, can I ask you a question?"

"Uh...yeah!"

After realizing it, Hermione nodded sharply, her eyes gleaming with hope:

"You ask!"
