Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

In the evening, Khalili Bazaar.

The sun slowly disappeared into the horizon, casting an orange glow over the space.

In front of the stall, a light came on.

The not-so-bright light seemed to turn on a signal, and the whole market became noisy.

It is different from the hustle and bustle of the day. There are no shouts of merchants, replaced by bursts of smoke. Diners coming from north and south gather here, sitting on small benches facing the street, drinking cheap beer, and discussing the day loudly. harvest.

Stone leaned back in his chair, next to an equally sleepy Hermione.

They were awakened by the knock on the door in Memphis, because Axel was coming, and because he wanted to visit Khalili Bazaar, the two of them were forced to sit on the carriage after a short rest.

"You two are dating, why do you have to drag us along?" Stone asked slightly angrily.

During the game, Axel was not familiar with him and the Ramadan sisters, so he could not hang out with them. After establishing a relationship, it became a regret, so when he came to Cairo again, he wanted to come with Memphis. Visit Khalili Bazaar.

Stone could guess all of this, but the problem was... Among the people in this circle, besides him and Hermione, Nyx also came naturally, and he also met Ron who was returning from a trip to the pyramid on the way. .....Do you really want so many light bulbs?

In the smoke, Memphis's reddish cheeks were not noticed. She rolled her eyes at Stone:

"Of course there are other things!"

"Is it about the ruins?"

Apart from this purpose, Stone could not think of anything else that needed to bring them all together.

He glanced around and said doubtfully:

"Say it here?"

"What are you afraid of?" Memphis said nonchalantly, "Here, no one cares about what others say, just eat first!"

In this space, everyone was talking loudly with their faces glowing red. Besides, this is Egypt, and the most important thing in this mysterious country is all kinds of adventure stories, but theirs are true.

Stone realized something and was about to nod in agreement when rapid footsteps came over, followed closely by an eager shout.

"Dear customers, your roasted whole lamb has arrived... There are various drinks in the shop. If you need it, please go there."

While they were talking, the clerk had placed the roasted whole lamb on the red charcoal in front of them. Then he pointed to the shop behind him and hurried back to the kitchen.

"What to drink?" Stone asked Hermione.

"casual."

"..."

Stone is scratching his head at this eternal problem.

He looked at Ron again, "What about you?"

"Me? Let me go with you."

"Save it, I'm afraid you will drool into other people's dinner."

The aroma of roasted whole lamb made Ron salivate as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Pfft--" Nyx couldn't help laughing.

In the face of Ron's shy face, Stone stood up and said:

"You can do whatever you want."

This 'casual' can be really 'casual'.

Then, he patted Memphis on the shoulder:

"I can't take it alone, come with me."

"okay."

Memphis didn't say anything, put down his knife and followed Stone.

When they were side by side, she slapped Stone on the shoulder:

"What's the matter? Do you still need to tell me alone?"

"It's about the ruins." Stone shrugged, "Do we need to keep it secret? We will discuss it when Ron is not around."

"It doesn't matter." Memphis said, "I don't know if there are treasures in the ruins that ordinary people need. I only know that there are treasures for us alchemists."

"Ah."

Meaning there is no conflict of interest. Stone was stunned and asked:

"Is it dangerous?"

"Are you afraid that the two of them can't help but want to go? Or do you want to bring your girlfriend with you?" Memphis teased, and his smile faded after a moment, "I don't know, but the ruins are more or less dangerous, and there will definitely be some. of."

"Um......"

Stone didn't ask any more questions. Memphis would tell her the specific situation later, which would save her the trouble of talking.

Picking a drink can be a hassle, especially when there are so many to choose from.

Among the rows of drinks, Stone took a glass of orchid juice for himself and hibiscus juice for Hermione.

He had never seen these two before, so he just wanted to try them together.

Memphis didn't have any entanglements in this matter. He immediately took three glasses of the same apricot juice, and then stood aside and waited.

So the yellow apricot juice became four cups.

After sitting down, a few pieces of mutton were thoughtfully cut on the plates in front of their seats. They were cooked by Hermione and Axel, and none of the four of them started to move, waiting for the two people to get the drinks.

"Well~" Memphis hummed with satisfaction from his nose and handed the first drink to Axel, "Be good and reward you."

"..."

Who doesn’t have a lover yet?

Not to be outdone, Stone handed the hibiscus juice to Hermione, and then stretched out his cheek.

So Ron and Nyx became dogs on the roadside, the kind that were kicked several times.

... ...

Unfortunately, hibiscus juice and orchid juice both had a slightly bitter taste, which was Stone's least favorite, but with Hermione's sweet lips... well, it wasn't bad.

Halfway through the meal, Stone took the lead in starting the conversation.

"Memphis, can you tell us about the ruins?"

"Okay." Memphis continued to scratch with the knife in his hand, "Have you heard of Karnak Temple?"

"Yes." Stone nodded, "It was used for ancient sacrifices. It is said to be dedicated to several gods here... Is this the ruins you are talking about?"

"Correct."

"This can't be considered a relic...at most it can be considered an attraction?" Stone asked tentatively.

Stone was not yet in elementary school when he learned about the existence of such a temple.

It's not that he is very knowledgeable, but... in such a famous place, even if there is any mystery, it has been discovered long ago.

"I don't know very well - mumble mumble -"

Finally, after swallowing the food in his mouth, Memphis took out a silver, charm-like thing, and said:

"It took me there."

"What is this?" Stone wondered.

"Nicholas Flamel..."

Memphis said only one name, and Stone quickly understood what she meant.

When I bid farewell to Nico Flamel, everyone present accepted the gifts.

Stone's own is the cage, his grandfather's is the ownership of Lemay Manor, and the Ramadan sisters should be this weird charm.

"So, it can lead you to the treasure the alchemist needs?"

"Correct."

Memphis raised the talisman and placed it in front of his eyes.

"I call him Tracking Cat."
