Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

"Death anniversary party? What is that?"

"Do you know Sir Nicholas?" Hermione asked.

"Uh...that ghost who likes to rip his own head off and scare children?"

"Yeah." Hermione smiled sheepishly. Obviously, she was one of the children who was scared by Stone.

"others......"

It's not appropriate to refer to people as 'people', so Hermione reorganized the language:

"Sir Nicholas is still very good. This year's Halloween is the 500th anniversary of his death. He invited Harry, and Harry invited us."

"Oh -" Stone understood and asked: "So you came to invite me?"

"Yeah~ Death anniversary party. I bet not many people alive can say that they have attended such a party. It's amazing when you think about it." Hermione's tone was very proud, with 'Come on, praise me, come on' written all over her face. praise me'.

So......

"Yes~" Stone rubbed her hair affectionately, "Our baby Hermione is the best. It's so fun to attend such a party!"

"Hehe~"

Enjoying Stone's touch like a kitten, Hermione smiled sweetly.

"What about you?" After finishing her message, she blinked and looked at Stone, "How far are you in your alchemy?"

After such a long time, she already knew what Stone was busy with and roughly knew the specific steps.

"You can see for yourself." Stone pushed the design book in front of Hermione.

There are densely drawn symbols on the notebook, which are crossed out, marked with question marks, and circled.

The following pages contain concept drawings of the finished product, as well as countless delicate parts.

Each page has a theme, which includes transmission parts, connecting parts, etc.

Recently, she has been watching Stone write and annotate. But now, all the page numbers have a certain part circled with a number next to it, which means...

"Have the design steps been completed?"

"That's right." Stone smiled and sighed again, "It's finally done, but it's so tiring."

When the difficulty of the symbols is not high, how to integrate them is the biggest problem.

In order to achieve the effect of video calling, he racked his brains... Let's put it this way, in his design, all parts play at least two functions:

——As a mechanical structure.

——As a talisman.

In other words, even a connecting piece the size of a little finger needs to be engraved with symbols for transmitting energy.

In order to prevent them from 'fighting', Stone needs to strictly control the size of the parts and the location of installation...

The items that need to be considered are like shackles. As an alchemist, Stone is like a dancer wearing shackles... He almost died from exhaustion.

Staring at Hermione who was looking at the picture carefully, Stone asked:

"You really don't want it? I can change the design."

The currently designed hyperlink can only accommodate four sections. It’s not ‘only’. Four is more balanced and easier to operate.

Each section corresponds to a person. In theory, these four people can call each other or... group chat.

He, the Ramadan sisters, plus Axel, there were exactly four people, so when the design was conceived, he asked Hermione for her opinion and got the answer of "no".

"Really not." Hermione raised her head and stared into Stone's eyes, "You are right next to me, why should I look at you through the alchemy object?"

"......All right."

Hermione smiled.

Although what she said was true, it was only one of the reasons.

There are other reasons. For example, although they have gone shopping together and spent a lot of time together, the Ramadan sisters and Axel are friends of Stone after all. In their friendship, she is like an outsider. I don’t want to intrude into other people’s personal space.

The other reason is...she doesn't want Stone to be too tired.

It was just hearsay before that Axel was the one doing the beating most of the time in Charing Cross Street, and she had never seen Stone's true strength.

Although the densely packed runes in the design book and the "beautiful" parts in Stone's words proved his ability, Hermione, who accompanied him throughout the whole process, could see Stone's hard work.

Rip the existing design and start over?

Forget it, Hermione felt unworthy.

After some thought, Hermione changed the topic and said:

"When was the design completed?"

"Just now, before you came."

"Oh - do you want to start making parts?"

"Tomorrow." Stone still rubbed Hermione's head, "What I want to do most right now is to go for a walk with you."

Regarding the relationship between the two of them... Although Harry, Ron, Penelo, and Luna didn't spread the word, they still knew everything that needed to be known.

——Because of Malfoy.

Of course, the words did not come from Malfoy's mouth, he did not dare.

But Malfoy was beaten up by Stone for insulting Hermione... This kind of thing is difficult to cover up in Hogwarts, so everyone will naturally make speculations.

One day in class, Professor McGonagall's congratulations confirmed their romance, making Hermione feel quite embarrassed.

As for how Professor McGonagall knew... I can only say that there was information exchange among the professors. I thought Snape was the boring gourd type, but I didn't expect that his relationship with Professor McGonagall was still good. Very good~

Now, Stone is taking Hermione out for desensitization training.

Walking around the porch hand in hand, going to the quad to study hand in hand, hand in hand...

Yes, no matter what, we have to hold hands!

"Hey~ let's go?"

Stone let go of Hermione's hair and took her hand.

Then regardless of Hermione's shy resistance, he pulled her out of the alchemy room.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Luna who was about to knock on the door.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three of them looked at each other in silence. Finally, Hermione was the first to break the silence and said:

"Didn't you go play with Ginny today?"

"Uh, yes." Luna nodded, "She has a cold, and she hasn't been in very good spirits recently. I saw Percy gave her some medicine and is going to bed now."

"Now?" Stone raised his head and looked at the sun directly above his head, "Go and wake her up after a while, otherwise her condition may get worse if she can't sleep at night."

"...Is there a possibility that I am a Ravenclaw and can't get into Gryffindor?"

"Shall I go then?" Hermione said from the side.

"Uh... forget it, you have to accompany me." Stone said.
