Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

On the other side, the Gryffindors were struggling to walk through the crowded corridor.

Because of what happened in class, Ron's mood was extremely bad. He said to Harry angrily:

"No wonder everyone can't stand her. Didn't she realize that she didn't have any friends?"

"Cape?" Harry tentatively said a name.

"Cape is much better than her. At least he won't laugh at his classmates." Ron retorted: "Besides, Cappe obviously prefers reading. I think he is definitely not willing to make friends with such a nightmare."

At this time, someone bumped into them and hurried past them. It's Hermione. Harry was surprised to see her crying.

"I think she heard what we said."

"So what?" Ron showed a hint of uneasiness, but still said firmly: "I didn't lie."

Hermione also heard this last sentence, and she very much hoped that Ron was lying, so that she wouldn't be particularly sad.

But......

She thought about her relationship with her classmates, and then reviewed her exchange with Stone.

——They haven't spoken for half a month. The most recent communication was when he asked him to help him get a book.

Everything is highly consistent with Ron's words...

On Halloween, everyone was surrounded by laughing classmates. The laughter turned into ridicule in Hermione's ears, weaving a cage called loneliness for her. The happier they are, the colder the cage becomes.

She lowered her head and ran to a place where there was no one, her tears drawing crystal arcs in the air.

And Stone...Stone is quite happy at this time. 'Happy' may not be enough, he has to be 'excited'.

During class, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

——If one three-rune talisman is not enough, what about the two?

The runes in a talisman must be an odd number. He can control a three-rune talisman, but a three-rune talisman cannot meet the demand. Then...if you put the two three-rune talismans together, there will be six runes.

[The Helm of Shock] is made up of eight talismans, but its eight talismans are all exactly the same, so they can be engraved on the same talisman to form a large combined talisman.

Then if you carve different talismans on the edge of the talisman, and then put the two talismans together... it is strong enough and does not violate the odd number principle. It seems feasible!

After sitting in the library, he started designing.

Still a one-way arrangement:

(Sowilo—Sowelu)—(Jera—Jera)—(Thurisaz—Surisaz)—(Hagall—Hagall)—(Laguz—Laguz)

Among them (Surisaz) represents the connection of energy and is used to control the direction - it can be two.

So a five-rune charm turned into two three-rune charms.

In this case, the choice of talisman fork cannot be wood, as it is not flat enough and is not conducive to energy transmission.

In addition to the splicing at the physical level, a magical measure must be found to confirm the connection and the direction of the two talismans. Otherwise, it would not be good for the two talismans to play their own roles.

After confirming the direction, Stone walked around the library again, found a book introducing Talisman and studied it carefully.

This view lasted all afternoon.

The light of the magic crystal lantern replaced the natural light of the sun, and Mrs. Pince stood next to Stone again.

"It's closing."

"Okay." Stone closed the book, pinched his nose, and got out of the ocean of knowledge.

Then, his stomach growled.

"Haha!" Mrs. Pince wrote the book coupon with a smile and said, "Let's go to the auditorium quickly. The Halloween dinner is always very rich. I heard their cheers just now."

"Okay, aren't you going?" Stone asked.

"Wait a minute. I'll first tally up the borrowing status of today's books."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Stone said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, go quickly."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Stone left the library.

He couldn't remember if he had lunch, but the revolting growl in his stomach was a little angry. Although he was not interested in Halloween, the Hogwarts banquet was still worth looking forward to, and he quickened his pace.

Soon, he went down to the first floor.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

A distant 'dong-dong' sound reached his ears.

'what sound? ’ He was doubtful, so he slowed down and listened carefully.

Like a drum sound, but duller than a drum sound. The penetrating power of a drum sound is much stronger than this sound.

Judging from the loudness of the sound, the source of the sound couldn't be too far away and was just on the way to the auditorium. Stone stood on tiptoes and ran over quietly.

The sound became more and more obvious, and there seemed to be a heavy breathing sound.

'We should be there soon', Stone thought, stopping at a corner.

He slowly poked his head around the corner.

What catches the eye is a pair of big tree stump-like feet, thick and full of old ravines.

He slowly raised his head and saw clearly the identity of this thing.

A nearly four-meter giant monster with gray stone-like skin, as if it had just crawled out of the mud, and was holding a thick wooden stick in its hand.

And he was right behind this giant monster, no more than two meters away!

‘A generous gift crab! ’ He had already cursed in his heart. ‘Why is there such a thing in school? ’

He held his breath and concentrated, not daring to make any sound, and was ready to turn around and run away at any time.

Fortunately, the troll didn't pay attention behind him, but stopped in front of the bathroom. After peeking inside, he lowered his head and slowly got in.

'bathroom? ’ Stone frowned, showing an expression of disgust, ‘Does the troll still have some dog-like habits? ’

When he was confused, he saw two figures sneaking out from the opposite corner. They were Harry Potter and his friend. They were walking sideways.

As they approached, they also noticed Stone.

"Shh-" Harry gestured to him with a 'silence' gesture, and then leaned into the bathroom door. He took a deep breath, then jumped up, grabbed the key on the door, slammed the door, and locked it firmly.

"It's done!"

The two yelled happily, and Stone could see their faces quickly turning red.

"Awesome." Stone gave a thumbs up and walked out, "As expected of Gryffindor, I dare to be in this kind of situation."

"It's not bad." Ron patted his chest, "We..."

"what----!"

A shrill, frightened voice came from the bathroom. It was Hermione's voice.
