Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

Bulgaria.

In a quaint castle.

At the end of the long table, Axel sat upright, turning over the parchment on the table.

"Burgas' affairs have been dealt with. Here is how I handled it and the final result..."

There was a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the long table, and Axel looked somewhat similar to him.

The middle-aged man listened to Axel's report and nodded slightly. If you observe carefully, you can see a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

After the eldest son graduated, the middle-aged man asked him to stay with him to handle things.

They control most of the gathering places of dark wizards in Bulgaria, and are also one of the permanent members of the Ministry of Magic.

It is difficult to put these two identities together, but the fact is that where there is light, there are shadows. The dark wizards can never be eliminated completely. The responsibility of the Krum family is to control them within an acceptable range. Prevent them from causing more trouble.

Of course, Krum himself is not a kind person. They do what the white wizard does, and they also do what the black wizard does.

Taking both black and white requires extreme caution.

And Axel is undoubtedly very satisfied with him.

At this time, Axel's report had come to an end, and he raised his head:

"Father, that's it for the Burgas region."

There are eight regions in Bulgaria, and as soon as he graduated, he was asked to deal with the financial problems that had accumulated for many years.

...The most important thing is the protection fees collected from those dark wizards.

It's hard to understand that such a big family can't find anyone who can settle accounts. When he first received this mission, Axel's mentality was shattered.

......

In all, he has completed work in seven major districts.

Every time he completed a major area, he would come over and report to his father.

He was particularly happy today.

There is only one left. After completing the last one, he can set off to Egypt to meet his friends, explore the ruins, and study alchemy.

This is what my father promised, and I can keep my hobby while taking care of my work.

Axel did not hide his expression, so the head of the Krum family could naturally see through his thoughts.

He actually felt guilty about his son, but he had no choice. As the eldest son, Axel had to shoulder the responsibilities of the family.

That's why he allowed his son to keep his hobby and promised him to travel to Egypt after completing his work.

But...he was disapproving of going to Egypt this time.

Not because of regrets, but because of a friend of Axel's named Stone Cape.

Some time ago, Axel bought several Thestrals. Because Thestrals are very rare Pegasus, he asked about the purchasing channels.

The answer was a wizard named Carpunk, who was introduced by Stone.

He had never heard of a businessman, but as the head of the Krum family, he had never heard of him, which was enough to prove the mystery of the other party.

He didn't think much about it at the time. There were so many powerful people in the wizarding world, so it was normal for him not to know.

But the recent attack on Malfoy reminded him of this mysterious businessman.

There are only so many forces in the wizarding world, and there are even fewer who have the ability to seriously harm Malfoy.

The merchant who supported the Thestrals naturally broke into his field of vision. In addition, he knew Stone, and the man named Stone also had a grudge against Malfoy... When they had conflicts, they still Krum moderated the situation.

This series of events was too coincidental. Although there was no evidence, the twelve-year-old boy was still covered in a heavy veil here.

......

"Father, father?"

"Huh?" Cadogan Krum suddenly came out of his deep thoughts and nodded, "Well, you did a good job."

"Then I...go handle the affairs of Varna Region?"

"Go." Cadogan Krum said calmly.

However, after Axel turned around and left, he sighed heavily.

I don’t know whether it is good or bad to allow Axel to continue dating the mysterious Stone Cape.

... ...

Moon Hotel, Riverside Cafe.

Leaning back on the chair, Stone held a glass of juice and asked while sipping:

"You mean, how many more days do we have to wait?"

"Yeah, that's why I told you in the hyperlink that there was really no rush. I didn't expect you to just hang up on me." Memphis said helplessly.

"...I thought you were mocking me."

"The previous words are indeed mocking~" Memphis said with a smile.

"alright."

"Then, since you are here, let's go traveling together." Nicks suggested, "Last time we were pressed for time, so we just visited the market and looked for materials. We haven't taken you to the scenic spots or anything like that yet. .”

"Yes, yes!" Memphis echoed, "The Pyramids! I haven't taken you to see them yet!"

"So, what treasures are there in the pyramid?" Stone sat up slightly, "I mean the kind about magic."

"Never heard of it," said Nyx.

"Definitely not," Memphis emphasized. "It is just a large mausoleum. Except for the tomb chamber and a narrow passage, the rest of the place is solid. How could there be magical treasures? There are Muggle treasures, but they have been taken away long ago. The tomb robbers stole them all."

"Oh..." Stone slumped down again, "Then I won't go, it doesn't sound interesting."

"..." A trace of speechlessness flashed across the corner of Memphis's mouth, "When other people come to Egypt, their first goal is the pyramids. How come it's not interesting to come to you?"

"You said it yourself, it's just a large mausoleum. You can just take photos. Do you have to go in and suffer?"

Stone yawned and continued:

"I didn't get a good rest last night and drove the carriage all morning. You go ahead, I'll open a room and go to sleep."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Memphis waved, then looked at Hermione, "What about you? Do you want..."

He swallowed half of his words, and then sighed helplessly.

"Okay, you guys go and rest."

"Hehe~"

Stone smiled, stood up and squatted next to Hermione:

"Wake up~ Go back to your room and sleep~"

"Huh?" Hermione opened her eyes in confusion and stretched out her arms, "A hug."

So Stone stopped talking and held her arms in his arms.

Before he reached the hall, when he was in the corridor, Stone heard the sound of chirping outside.

It's normal. It's summer vacation and this is a tourist attraction. It's normal for wizards to travel.

But...why does this sound become more and more familiar to me?
