Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

The next day was a Saturday, giving Stone more time to assemble Wild Baseball.

The remaining components are divided into three parts: top cover, wedge key, and safety module.

The wedge key connects the core notation and the activation notation. It is a pressing device. It provides resistance during normal times. When pressed, the two modules can be tightly connected.

There are six wedge keys. Although it is a drawing designed by Stone himself, after all, it is the first time to assemble it. It is basically crossing the river by feeling the stones. During installation, it is checked repeatedly. It has been a whole morning since the six wedge keys were installed.

The next step is the insurance module.

After a hasty lunch, Stone picked up the seal.

His drawings were designed strictly according to the size and shape of a baseball, and the seal was actually the arc on the baseball—an arc.

The wedge key can provide a certain amount of resistance, but it cannot guarantee absolute protection against accidental contact. A safety device is required to do this job.

After pushing the arc in and fastening the buckles, only the top cover is left.

There are also six latches on the top cover, which correspond to the wedge keys.

For blind operation, you still have to control six wedge keys at the same time, which is a bit troublesome.

Stone controlled the baseball on the operating table, controlled three copper needles in each hand, closed his eyes, and started micro-manipulation using only his hearing.

The first, the second...

After an unknown amount of time, six 'click' sounds sounded at the same time, and the top cover slid into the wedge key.

After rubbing it habitually, there was no misalignment. Stone knew that his "Wild Baseball" was completed.

Designing, forging, carving... He could maintain a relatively calm mind while doing these steps, but when the finished product was placed in front of him, he felt itchy in his heart.

——I really want to test its power!

But this is in school, and finding a suitable place to test is not easy. It was getting late, and Stone returned to the dormitory thinking.

... ...

late at night.

Harry and Hermione carried the crate containing the dragon and, wearing the Invisibility Cloak, walked up the marble steps of the entrance hall, walked through the dark corridors, and stepped onto the spiral staircase of the tallest tower.

Time passed by, and at midnight, four broomsticks landed from the darkness, and they were Charlie's friends. There were several ropes tied to their brooms, and they worked hard to secure the crate to the ropes.

After shaking hands with each other, Charlie's friends disappeared into the night sky.

The two walked down the spiral staircase briskly. Norbert's departure meant that they would no longer be threatened by Malfoy. What else could ruin their joy?

The answer is yes.

As soon as they stepped into the corridor, Filch's face suddenly emerged from the darkness.

"Oops!" Harry growled, "We're in trouble, we left the Invisibility Cloak on top of the tower!"

... ...

Sunday morning.

As soon as he walked out of the dormitory, Stone felt the strange atmosphere in the common room. Most of the students had a straight face, but a few students, such as Senior Penello, looked quite happy.

"What happened?" Stone asked curiously.

"Gryffindor deducted 150 points!" one person said, "We still expected them to defeat Slytherin and win the Academy Cup!"

"But there is also good news." Penello said, "Slytherin also deducted 50 points. The gap between us and them is not big anymore. We can definitely work hard on our own and grab the Academy Cup from them. "

"Oh...so that's it."

To be honest, Stone has no obsession with the Academy Cup, but he agrees with Penello on this matter - if you want to gain or prevent something from happening, relying on the efforts of others is the stupidest thing. There's a solution.

"I agree with the prefect, you have to rely on yourself for everything."

"Really~" Penello said proudly. Then, she looked at Stone, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"No, I'm going to eat." With that said, Stone walked towards the door of the common room.

Mental support is enough - it can only be mental support. He doesn't understand the scoring rules of the Academy Cup at all, and he really can't think of a way. Besides, he still has a lot of things to worry about.

Arriving at the auditorium, Stone immediately saw three people sitting together who seemed to be isolated.

Hermione noticed him and looked over with tears in her eyes.

'All right. ’ Stone sighed lightly and sat over:

"What's going on? Have you been discovered?"

"No." Hermione's eyes were red, "We were bumped into by Filch when we were coming back."

"Don't you have an invisibility cloak?"

"Forgot it at the top of the tower."

"...Then you really should deduct points." Stone lightly hit Hermione on the head, "Be happy, it's just a few points, but it's worth buying a lesson."

"That's not a few points," Ron muttered, "and not only will the points be deducted, but they will also be put in solitary confinement."

"Them? Without you?"

"Without me." Ron shook his head, "I was still in the campus hospital at the time. It was the two of them, Malfoy and Neville who went out at night. Malfoy went to report it, and Neville went to report it."

"Well -" Stone understood and said: "Confinement is actually not bad, isn't it just to help the teacher with something?"

"That's what it was." Harry lowered his head, "But it's Hagrid we want to help."

"so what?"

"Hagrid is in charge of the Forbidden Forest."

"Forbidden Forest...Forbidden Forest..." Stone murmured, suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "Forbidden Forest?!"

"Yes." Harry said weakly, "I heard it's not peaceful there."

Hearing this, the little man in Stone's mind started laughing.

Isn’t it because someone gave me a pillow when I was dozing off?

He twitched the corners of his mouth that he was trying to raise and said:

"If you are afraid of danger, I have something that can help you."

"How much?" Harry asked.

"It's free this time," Stone said, "but you need to do me a favor and help me test its power."

He then introduced them to ‘Wild Baseball’ and its uses, adding:

"If you can, it's best to help me record the time from the beginning to the explosion."

"But... we may not be in danger." Hermione said.

"Then just find a place to test it." Stone said, "The Forbidden Forest is so big, Hagrid can't watch you all the time, right?"

"......All right."

"When does the lockdown start?" Stone asked.

"I don't know." Hermione shook her head, "Professor McGonagall didn't say, but it should be a few days later."

"Okay, before the confinement begins, I will guarantee one for each of you."
