Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

"Well--"

On the chair, Penello frowned and slowly opened his sleepy eyes.

Stars were already hanging in the sky outside the window. Stone was sitting in front of the workbench. Under the light of the soft crystal lamp, a small knife was cutting something under the control of his well-jointed fingers.

"How long have I slept?"

"Are you awake?" Stone took a look, lowered his head and said, "About three or four hours."

"Oh my god!" Penello stood up suddenly, and the wizard robe covering her body immediately slipped off. She grabbed the robe that was about to fall to the ground, "So long?"

"Yeah, I felt you were very tired, so I didn't wake you up. Have you been so busy lately?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. I have O.W.Ls exams this semester. I'm still doing well, but many people at my level have collapsed."

While chattering, Penello walked up behind Stone and put the wizard's robe on his back.

"How much longer do you want?"

"what happened?"

"This time...dinner is about to start."

"Oh, you're hungry." Stone put down the file in his hand, "Then let's go."

The work of polishing the mold could not be completed in a while. After hearing what Penello said, he also felt hungry.

He stood up, put on his wizard robe, and turned off the crystal lamp on the table.

"These lights - I seem to have seen them somewhere?" Penello asked doubtfully.

"If you look carefully, you will find that everything in this room looks familiar."

"It's really yours, I thought you would do it yourself?"

"What's Fei doing?"

"..."

While joking, they came to the auditorium.

The dinner at Hogwarts was as sumptuous as ever.

As soon as they sat down, the three little Gryffindors moved to the opposite side of Stone.

"Are you telling the truth?" Harry asked.

"What's true?" Stone asked in confusion.

"Just, uh...that thing Hagrid raised."

"Oh, that's just speculation," Stone said, "but if you haven't been reported yet, it should be true without a doubt."

At this time, Ron interrupted:

"If that's the case, we don't have to give it away."

"..." Stone tilted his head back, "Are you serious?"

This guy was quite smart when he was fighting trolls, why has he turned into a fool now?

"You wouldn't want to place your fate in the hands of your enemies, would you?"

"Uh..." Ron lowered his head, "I was joking."

"You'd better be really kidding." Stone waved his hand, "I've said everything I need to say. Now, I'm going to eat. If you ask questions in the future, I'll charge you."

After hearing Stone's words, Ron shut his mouth obediently. Harry didn't care. If he could exchange money for knowledge, he wouldn't mind paying more.

Hermione...Hermione was so angry that she didn't say a word.

However, they all had one idea in mind - the plan remained unchanged and they would just wait for news from Charlie.

After the meal, Stone returned to the alchemy room. Penello also followed. She used all the scrap wood in the corner, made a bed and left the room.

The sunshine here is quite good, so taking a nap when you are particularly tired is a good choice.

A few days later, the auditorium.

Stone received a reply from Ms. Karina.

Along with the letter came a small bag, the inside of which he had cast a Seamless Stretching Charm to hold materials.

The time between the two letters was not long, so there was nothing on the letter. It just wrote the amount of copper and iron purchased and the return of Nyx to Surrey County.

After writing something random, Stone let Knicks go.

Then, he looked at the list, and the number... was a bit exaggerated.

He opened the small bag and as soon as he put his hand in, he touched a pile of iron beads and the like, and estimated that every gap was filled.

When Stone received the letter, Hedwig also brought Charlie's reply.

The three people put their heads together and looked at the note.

The letter was written in Ron's name. Charlie exchanged a few pleasantries and then mentioned the Norwegian Ridgeback. He was very happy to adopt it and proposed a feasible solution. They were required to take the dragon to the highest tower at midnight on Saturday, where his friends could receive it.

After reading the letter, the three people looked at each other.

"It shouldn't be too difficult," Harry said. "We have the Invisibility Cloak."

"We could ask Stone to help us come up with a plan," Hermione suggested.

"Or we can just ask him to go with us," Ron said.

They found Stone, who was about to leave, and shared their thoughts.

"I won't go." Stone refused: "I'm not your nanny. I'm very busy myself."

"Forget it." Being compared to a baby by Stone, Hermione was a little annoyed and said, "We can do it ourselves, anyway, the invisibility cloak can't hold so many people."

"Ms. Colander," Stone said with a smile: "Next time you want to say something, remember to draft it first. I won't charge you any hush money this time."

After saying that, he picked up the package and left the auditorium.

"Ms. Colander?!" Hermione shouted in disbelief, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Well - you exposed the fact that I have the Invisibility Cloak." Harry protested softly.

"Sorry." Hermione's voice also dropped.

"It's okay. Stone isn't a talkative person."

... ...

Back in the alchemy room, Stone took out a copper plate and waited.

Recently, Penello has been taking a nap here after lunch, so it's time to collect some rent.

At twelve thirty, Penello knocked on the door on time.

As soon as she came in, she put on a blindfold and lay straight on the bed in the sun.

"...Don't sleep yet, do me a favor." Stone said helplessly.

"No problem!" Penelo suddenly became energetic.

When she was not in class, she slept here, while Stone kept sharpening the set of molds. After polishing the molds, he read a book. As a bystander, she felt bored. Now she could finally start the next step, and her curiosity suddenly disappeared. He was seduced.

She took off her blindfold and sat opposite Stone:

"How to do it?"

"Same."

As he spoke, Stone placed the copper plate in front of her:

"After melting, pour it into the mold."

"No problem!" Penello took out his wand and flicked it lightly, and the flame flew into the air holding the copper plate.

In a moment, the molten copper was accurately poured into the mold.

The mold is removable, and after the copper liquid cools, Stone obtains six curved copper sheets and several precision mechanical components.

He picked up the components and inspected them carefully. After confirming that the drawings were correct, he said:

"Okay, you can go to bed now."
