Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

There is a stone corridor ahead, which is the only way to go.

They walked down the corridor.

At the end of the corridor is a brightly lit room with a high vaulted ceiling, but there are many keys scattered on the floor - keys with broken wings and flapping keys.

Following the key on the ground, Dumbledore looked to the opposite side, was startled for a moment, and said:

"It seems that they used other methods to get through the door."

Stone also looked over.

There is a large hole in the wall opposite, and you can vaguely make out that there once was a door there.

Ten gold galleons to open the door once is quite a price.

Through the hole, you can see a dark room on the opposite side.

After passing through the hole, the room suddenly lit up.

The floor was a huge chessboard, with fragments of black and white chess pieces scattered on the board, and a figure lying among the fragments.

"Ronald Weasley." Snape was the first to notice him and walked over to take a look. "He's not dead yet."

At this moment, the door on the opposite wall opened and Hermione rushed out.

Seeing Snape, she suddenly paused on the spot, then took out her wand:

"Why are you here? Stay away from Ron!"

"Silly boy." Snape shouted coldly.

Finally, Hermione noticed Stone and Dumbledore behind them. She put down her wand in confusion:

"how come......?"

"The fact is," Stone stood up, "my guess is right, Quirrell is the one who wants to steal the Sorcerer's Stone."

"Can you tell me what happened?" Dumbledore then asked, "Where is Harry?"

"Harry!" Hermione woke up from a dream and pointed to the door at the back, "Harry went to find the Philosopher's Stone alone!"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Dumbledore walked towards the opposite door. As he walked, he said to Stone: "Please send Mr. Weasley to the school infirmary."

"No problem," Stone said.

Snape also walked over, and when he was about to step through the door, he turned his head and glared at Stone fiercely.

Stone zipped his mouth shut.

The two professors disappeared behind the door, and Stone took Ron's arm and lifted him up. Then, he looked at Hermione:

"Can you tell me what happened? I heard two explosions outside."

"Emm...that's it," Hermione said, "The first time we blew up the door, the keys were flying in the sky, and we couldn't find them for a while, so we blew up the door. The second time it was this chessboard. , but it quickly recovered automatically after being blown up, Ron untied the chessboard, and he was injured as a result.”

"I understand, can you tell me about the next level?"

"Of course,......"

While chatting, they walked out of the big cave and stepped onto the uphill steps. You have to go through the trap door when you come down, but you don't need it when you go out. This also makes Stone, who is carrying Ron, breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Harry was already standing in front of the Mirror of Erised.

He saw himself in the mirror, smiled, put his hand into his pocket, and took out a bright red stone. He blinked and put the stone back into his pocket.

Then, Harry really felt something heavy fall into his pocket.

"What did you see?" Quirrell asked impatiently.

"I'm shaking hands with Dumbledore," Harry said nonchalantly, "I won the House Cup for Gryffindor, I..."

Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded in the room, "He's lying! He's lying!"

"Tell me the truth!" Quirrell shouted, "What did you just see?!"

At this time, the sharp voice spoke again:

"Let me talk to him, face to face."

"But Master, your strength has not recovered yet." Quirrell said humbly.

Quirrell stopped talking. He raised his hand and took off the scarf on his head, revealing his surprisingly small head. Then, he slowly turned around.

There was a face on the back of Quirrell's head. Harry had never seen such a hideous and terrifying face. It was as pale as chalk, with glowing red eyes and two slender nostrils. Looks like a snake.

"Harry Potter..." said the face, whispering, "look what I've become, nothing but shadow and vapor... nothing but sharing a space with others. I need a secondary body to survive... Once I get the elixir, I can recreate a body of my own... Well... why don't you put the magic in your pocket Leave the stone to me?"

Harry stepped back and reached into his pocket, but what he held was not the Sorcerer's Stone, but the last baseball.

"Yes, that's it, give it to me quickly." There was a greedy expression on that face.

"Don't think about it!"

Harry took out the baseball, pulled out the safety, and threw it out with all his strength.

"Quirrell!!!" Voldemort shouted.

The next moment, Quirrell took over control of his body.

He snapped his fingers, and the baseball in flight suddenly disappeared. The next moment, a blazing light burst out from behind the Mirror of Erised. Harry was thrown away and hit the wall.

"Catch him!" Voldemort screamed: "Dumbledore is here, hurry up!"

Quirrell jumped forward, straddled Harry, and grabbed his neck with both hands.

The scar on Harry's forehead started to hurt, and his vision went dark, but soon Quirrell's painful howl reached his ears.

"Master, I can't hold him, my hand!" Quirrell still pushed his knee against Harry, but his hand had already let go of Harry's neck, and it looked like it was severely burned.

"Then kill him!" Voldemort shouted.

Just as Quirrell was about to recite a fatal spell, Harry suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Quirrell's face.

"Ah——!" Quirrell roared in pain, trying to break away from Harry.

But Harry didn't give him this chance. He understood that Quirrell couldn't touch him, so he grabbed him tightly.

Until Quirrell turned into ashes, Harry also fell into darkness.

Voldemort walked around the Philosopher's Stone several times until he heard Dumbledore's footsteps and left.

... ...

When he rushed into the room, the Mirror of Erised had been turned into pieces. Harry was lying on the ground with the Philosopher's Stone next to him.

"He held on." Dumbledore said happily.

"It'll be okay if he doesn't come!" Snape said coldly.

"Okay, let's take Harry to the school doctor's office."

"I?"

"Of course, you can't count on the strength of an old man, right?"

"..."

When walking out of the basement, Snape suddenly asked:

"Why does Stone Cape know about me? What did you say to him?"

"I didn't say anything." Dumbledore said with a smile, "I don't know what Stone told you, but I think you didn't hear it all. Only the two of us know about our affairs."

"Severus, when did you become so irritable?"
