Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

With the components that Penello had helped melt before, and Stone's own proficiency growing, he made a lot of 'Wild Baseball' before the confinement began.

On the morning of the lockdown, Stone picked up three baseballs and walked out of the dormitory.

In the common room, Penello stopped him:

"Stone, do you want to go out?"

"Well, is something wrong?"

"We have a meeting later, please come back quickly."

"it is good."

After saying that, Stone ran towards the quad - the place where he had made an appointment with Hermione and the others.

After seeing the person, he handed the baseball out. Just saying it wouldn't work, Stone was afraid that they wouldn't understand it when they were really in danger, so he showed them how to use it.

Of course, it was just a rehearsed move, and he didn't want to blow up the quadrangle yet.

"Okay, that's it." After the demonstration, Stone asked, "Do you understand everything?"

"Yeah." The three nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go back, I have something else to do."

Stone ran back to Ravenclaw Tower.

When he entered, the sofa in the common room was already full of people, and he leaned into the corner.

Seeing Stone, Penello stood up:

"Everyone is here, let me announce something."

"Given that Gryffindor is no longer reliable, we can only rely on ourselves to prevent Slytherin from winning the House Cup. Everyone has no doubt about this, right?"

"No." Everyone shouted.

"Okay, let me tell you what I think." Penello took out a piece of parchment, "Right now, we are sixty-three points behind Slytherin. If we want to make up so many points, we need to work together. That’s all.”

"There are roughly three ways to get points." Penello continued: "Quidditch, points for major awards, and points for answering questions in class."

"Don't even think about Quidditch. It's not our academy's strength."

"Major awards..."

Having said this, Penello looked at Stone:

"Didn't you win a championship? Why didn't you get extra points?"

"I don't know." Stone looked confused. "I didn't even know that winning a prize would give you extra points."

"Hmm -" Penello thought for a while, "It seems... you have to submit the trophy to the exhibition room to get extra points. Where is your trophy?"

"...at the Ministry of Magic."

"Okay." Penello was a little helpless, "You can skip this part."

Soon, Penello regained his energy and said with bright eyes:

"Although the rest are only normal bonus points, this part is our strength. Compared with the mastery of knowledge, we have never been afraid of anyone!"

"Yes!" the students shouted, "As long as we all cheer up, we will definitely defeat Slytherin!"

"Very good." Penello applauded, "Then I won't waste your time. Except for those in fifth grade and seventh grade who need to prepare for exams, I don't count. Everyone knows how to do it, right?"

"Know!"

After the passionate response, the Ravenclaw students walked out of the common room and rushed into class to start a day full of motivation.

Stone, of course, responded to Penello's call.

But... there are only three classes in a day, including two potions classes, and his score for today was successfully cleared.

There was no other way. If Snape claimed second place, everyone else in the school could only compete for third place, and they were not even qualified to stand alongside him.

After returning to the bedroom, Stone raised his telescope and sat by the window.

His window faced the Forbidden Forest. Although it was far away, his telescope was a high-end product. If something really happened, there was still a chance that he could see it. Even if he could only see a little light, it would be good.

... ...

As they walked out of the Gryffindor common room, Harry said to Hermione:

"Today during the day, I met Snape and Quirrell. I overheard Snape threatening Quirrell. I thought that the real murderer was undoubtedly Snape. He successfully obtained the secret from Quirrell. I know how to crack his anti-black magic."

"Are you sure? I..."

"I'm sure!" Harry said seriously: "I know you believe Stone more, but he may be really wrong this time."

"Okay." Hermione said, "Fortunately, we still have Lu Wei."

"Luwei? He may already know how to get past Luwei." Harry sighed, "Luwei's master is Hagrid, and it's not an easy thing for him to keep a secret."

"..."

While chatting, they walked to the foyer with Neville and met Filch and Malfoy.

The clouds that drifted by occasionally blocked the moonlight, and they walked across the field listening to Filch's nonsense and arrived in front of Hagrid's hut.

"Is that you, Filch? Come on, I'm leaving!"

There was a shout in the distance, and Hagrid stepped out of the darkness, carrying his huge crossbow, followed by Fang.

"It's almost time, I've been waiting for half an hour." He said, looking at Harry and Hermione, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay," they said.

"You are too polite to them." Filch accused: "They are here to be punished."

"This is not the place for you to lecture people." Hagrid's face turned cold. "From now on, I will be in charge of them. Your mission is completed."

"Yeah, yeah, I hope I'm not here to clean up their wreckage when I come back."

After speaking viciously, Filch walked towards the castle, and the lamp swayed and disappeared into the darkness.

"Hagrid, what are we doing tonight?" Harry asked.

"Follow me." Hagrid led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. He raised the lamp high and pointed at a narrow path that gradually disappeared into the dense forest. "Look over there. Do you see that shining thing on the ground? Then It's the blood of a unicorn. The unicorn in the forest was injured by something. It was seriously injured. We have to rescue it."

"Now, we are divided into two groups..."

"I want Fang!" Malfoy said quickly.

"Okay, but I have to remind you that Fang is a coward." Hagrid said, "Then, you, Neville, Fang will be a group, Harry, Hermione and I will go another way. Who will meet the Unicorn?" If you are a beast, shoot green sparks, if you are in danger, shoot red sparks - practice both."

After confirming that everyone could emit sparks, the two groups walked into the dark forest and separated at a fork in the road.

The three people who owned ‘Wild Baseball’ all put their hands into their pockets.

They all had the courage to enter the Forbidden Forest, but the dark atmosphere in the Forbidden Forest still made their hearts tremble, especially Neville. He and Malfoy had fought many times. In addition to the unknown dangers, he also had to Just watch out for Malfoy.
