Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

"Ah."

After hearing Stone's words, Hermione's expression softened.

The next moment, she stood up suddenly, "Stone, I'll come back to you later. I have to tell Harry and the others what you analyzed first."

"No need to run back and forth." Stone also stood up, "I'm going back."

Hermione paused:

"Actually...it's okay not to tell them."

"It's up to you, I'm going back anyway."

"okay, bye."

"Goodbye."

... ...

Stone came to the alchemy room.

The materials haven't arrived yet, but he came here to perfect the talisman.

One of the meanings of the (Feihu) rune is 'wild flame', which is the core rune of the entire alchemical work. It has a negative meaning, so mainstream alchemy books do not teach how to apply it.

And because the writing rules of runes do not require direction, mainstream alchemy books have introduced the effects of writing them backwards... It is easy to come up with ways to apply negative meanings.

The base is upside down (Feihu), and Stone drew a (Kiev) rune in the four directions of (Feihu) up, down, left, and right. It looks like an (X), which can enhance the power of magic.

In this way, he got a five-rune talisman, one for 'destruction' and four for 'enhanced destruction'.

The talisman is engraved on the inside of the baseball.

Stone peeled the baseball apart on the drawing and solved it into six identical arc-shaped surfaces, five of which were engraved with the core runes, and the active side was engraved with the activation runes.

The activation of the runes is still the same as on the screen. On the side with the activation runes, Stone designed a mechanical device that presses. When pressed, the runes on the other five sides will be activated.

Of course, instantaneous explosion is definitely not possible, so between the two sets of runes, there is another set of runes, a single rune - (Hagel), shaped like an alien capital H. He has Hail, delayed meaning.

At this point, the runes are declared complete, with a total of thirty-three runes.

All that's left is the mechanical part.

In Stone's opinion, appearance is the key to combat effectiveness. Since it is called baseball, he must carefully design the shape. The arc on the sphere can increase the feel, and the different shapes also help to use the eyes to locate the position of the activated talisman.

Looking at the drawing, Stone unconsciously thought of a name for it. It was probably a sequelae of the competition.

Combining its effect and shape, Stone decided to name it - Wild Baseball.

Since 'Wild Baseball' is a consumable product, it certainly cannot be refined with precious metals such as gold and silver. This is one of the reasons why he wrote home asking for base metals.

Subjectively, Stone believes that the color of copper is more suitable for making spheres, so he can start preparations based on the properties of copper and make molds.

The last time gold was used to make talismans, the mold was made of copper, and the melting point of the mold that could hold the liquid copper needed to be higher.

Crystal is nice, but Stone refuses.

There weren't many in the first place, so he used only the corners when making the purple flute. Use such good materials to make molds? Still can't make it?

After struggling for a long time, Stone walked out of the alchemy room and returned to the Ravenclaw common room.

The quartz crucible used when melting gold galleons last time was quite good, with a melting point five hundred degrees higher than copper. He was going to go find Senior Penello to melt a few more.

"Are you ready to make alchemy again? What do you need this time?"

Looking at Stone standing helpless at the door, Penello asked helplessly.

"Yes, hehe -" Stone showed a 'shy' smile, "It's still a quartz crucible, other quartz materials will also work."

"Emm... As for quartz." Penello thought for a while and said, "There is only a crucible, how many are needed?"

"The more the better."

"Okay..." Penello returned to the dormitory, dug out all the quartz crucibles, kept one in use, and took out the rest.

"Thank you, senior sister."

"You're welcome." Penello handed the crucible to Stone and asked, "What are you doing this time? Can you let me take a look?"

"of course."

After receiving a positive answer, Penello put on her shoes and walked out of the room.

When they reached the common room, Penello continued walking towards the boys' dormitory. Stone patted her shoulder and pointed to the door of the lounge:

"here."

"Huh?" Penello asked doubtfully, "Outside?"

"That's it."

While chatting, Stone led Penello out of the lounge, went down a few steps, and took out the key to the alchemy room.

"Isn't this our storage room?"

"This is my alchemy room now," Stone said, "obtained in exchange for a small price from Professor Flitwick."

With that said, they walked into the alchemy room.

"Oh——" Penello looked at the scene in the room, "It's not bad!"

"It's not bad." Stone smiled smugly, "It's a pity there aren't many chairs."

"This is all a small problem." Penello took out his wand and pointed at the pile of debris in the corner.

She gently used her wand to hold a flower, and several wooden boards of different colors flew out from the pile of debris. After rotating to remove the excess parts, they were spliced ​​together into a unique chair.

"Awesome." Stone gave a thumbs up.

"Emm..." Penello raised an eyebrow and responded with the same words: "Not bad."

She moved her chair and sat across from the alchemy table:

"Tell me, is there anything I can help you with this time?"

"Yes." Stone sat in front of the alchemy table and took out all the quartz crucibles. "Help me melt them all."

Among the tools he bought, some were specially used to smelt materials, but the efficiency was very low. Asking the senior sister for help would save a lot of time.

"No problem." Penello stretched out his wand and lifted it lightly. The cauldrons floated into the air, and then flames rose from their lower parts.

Not long after, the crucible melted into liquid and clumped together.

"what's next?"

"Leave it to me next." Stone threw out his wand and pointed at the quartz in the air.

"Okay, wait while I count." Penello rubbed the wand and said:

"Three, two, one!"

She withdrew her magic power, and at the same time, Stone added it.

He learned the art of transformation well, but due to the level of magic power, it was still difficult to control the quartz liquid into the shape he wanted.

But fortunately, quartz does not solidify very quickly. Before solidification, Stone finally got a bunch of large and small mold components.

Opening the mold is a very troublesome task. It is impossible to obtain a fine and usable mold by relying on the previous series of operations alone. Stone placed the components in front of him and took out the file from the cabinet behind him.

"Are there any others?" Penello asked.

"It's gone for now."

"Row."

Penello did not get up, but once again pointed his wand at the corner, and assembled a bench under his feet.

Leaning on the chair and using the stool, she basked in the warm sunshine coming in from the window. It didn't take long for her to close her eyes.
