Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

Stone opened the envelope, and a page of beautiful fonts appeared before his eyes:

Hey Stone, long time no see.

Life in school is always boring and busy, so we never have time to write to you, but...you didn't write a letter either, so we're even~

Wagadu is already on holiday.

Regarding that matter, although we don't know what you think yet, we have decided to set off to go to you.

If you accept, we'd love to make some extra money, but if you don't, it would be nice to take a vacation. We haven't forgotten that you still owe each of us a piece of clothing!

That's it, I look forward to getting your reply, and I hope you can give us some suggestions for traveling to other places.

Goodbye.

Stone folded the letter.

"Who is it?" Hermione asked from the other side.

"Friends I met during the competition are coming here for vacation."

While talking, Stone took out the notebook he carried with him and tore out a page.

"How many people? Boys or girls?"

"Two girls." Stone took out a pen.

"Then, what are you going to reply to?" Hermione craned her neck and looked at the letter.

"My home address."

"Your home?!" Hermione's voice suddenly rose an octave, and everyone around her glanced over. She shrank her neck and said, "That's not what I meant. I...I mean, wouldn't it be nice to stay in a hotel during vacation? Isn't it inconvenient to stay at your house?"

"Temporarily. In addition to vacation, there may be other things, and their vacation is relatively early. They may leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I have to provide them with a place to stay and entertain them a little bit first, right?"

After he finished speaking, there was an additional address on the letter paper.

Stone reversed the address on the original envelope and stuffed the new letter paper into the envelope.

Then, he looked at Hermione:

"Do you have any Copper Nuts? Lend me some."

"no!"

"No, no, why are you so fierce..." After muttering, Stone looked at Penelo beside him.

"Don't look at me." Penello waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm not participating...I'm not involved either. Well, yes."

"..."

Just as Stone was about to borrow from Padma further away, the owl on his shoulder gently rubbed his cheek, and then pecked the envelope.

"Oh - you've already paid it, right?"

Owl nodded.

"Reliable." Stone nodded its head, "Be careful on the road."

After watching the owl fly away, Stone looked back and saw Hermione staring at him with her arms crossed and her eyes wide.

"What's wrong?" Stone asked confused.

"Hmph!" Hermione stood up and returned to the Gryffindor table without looking back.

Stone looked at Penello again with a blank look on his face:

"what happened?"

"Boy, you still have a long way to go."

After finishing his rambling words, Penello put down the dinner plate and left the long table.

"What are you talking about?" Stone muttered and started to eat.

... ...

Hermione ignored Stone for two days.

Of course, Stone was not idle either. He drew a design.

According to the information from Harry's test, the wild explosion time was 4 or 5 seconds, and he modified it based on this time.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is no longer appropriate to call it a transformation, because it has completely changed its appearance, from the original spherical shape to a square brick-like shape.

From the inside, it is undoubtedly a transformation. The runes have not changed, and even the structure is of the same family. The difference is that there are a few more... a lot of the same runes.

From baseballs to square tiles, the extra square footage is covered with Hagar, the delay rune.

Stone roughly calculated that the explosion time of the square brick is about twenty minutes after it is activated, which can barely be regarded as a time bomb.

After drawing the design, he started looking forward to it.

Not looking forward to its effect, but looking forward to Malfoy provoking himself again - so that he would have a reason to retaliate against him, such as secretly stuffing square bricks into his suitcase before getting off the car.

Unfortunately, Stone did not wait for this opportunity.

In other words, since breaking his arm that day, Stone has rarely seen him appear in front of him.

There may be no good words behind his back, but on the surface Stone really has no reason to take action. It can only be said to be a pity.

Two days later, Stone's heartless owl brought Ms. Karina's letter.

——The Ramadan sisters have arrived and are staying.

It's slower than expected, but it's a coincidence, because Hogwarts is also on holiday.

At the year-end banquet, the Great Hall was decorated with green and silver colors representing Slytherin, and a huge banner with a Slytherin snake was hung on the wall behind the teachers' chair to celebrate their seventh consecutive House Cup win.

As he walked in, Stone saw Hermione at the Gryffindor table and looked at her. The latter tilted his head hard.

"..." Stone sat in his seat silently.

At this time, Penello sat next to him, "Don't you understand why Hermione is angry?"

"No." Stone shook his head.

"You didn't even try to coax her?"

"No." Stone said, "I don't even know why she was angry. Besides, I'm also very busy, okay?"

"..." Penello was silent.

"What, is there a problem?"

"It's okay." Penello patted his shoulder, "As long as you are happy, nothing else matters."

There were more and more people in the auditorium, and it gradually became noisy. Harry's arrival made the noise quiet for a moment, and then it started to become noisy again.

Harry walked up to Stone and said, "Thank you, can you sell me a few more baseballs?"

"Want more?"

"It's very useful. I want to keep a few more for self-defense."

"There's only one left," Stone said.

Due to the vigorous promotion of an unknown lady, many Gryffindor students placed orders. In recent days, in addition to drawing design drawings, Stone has devoted all his time to placing orders. This time, there is really only one left.

"I want one too." With that said, Harry took out ten gold galleons.

"No need." Stone handed the baseball to Harry, "Split this money between Ron and your other friend, and then tell them not to help me promote it anymore."

"Another friend - oh, you said Hermione - okay, I get it."

Harry returned to them, handed the gold galleons to the two and conveyed Stone's message.

"Why?" Ron wondered: "Isn't it a good thing to make money?"

"Huh! I don't want it!" Hermione leaned on the table, "He's just the kind of person who likes to help others, but doesn't like to accept help from friends!"

"..."

The innocent Harry took back the gold galleons on the table.
