Chapter 15 Alchemy and Defense Against the Dark Arts

It has been more than three months since the start of school, and this semester is about to end, Danica realized that she had not sent anything to Bojinbok for a long time.After thinking about the upcoming Christmas and the three-week holiday, she decided to do more during that time, and almost half of the money she earned had already been spent.

Danica shuttled between the bookshelves in the library, her eyes glanced at the rows of magic books, and she stopped at one place. The name of the book seemed to hold her heart tightly.She stood still for a moment, then reached out and took it out.

""Turning Stone into Gold: Magical Alchemy"?" She read out the title of the book in a low voice, "Can you really turn stone into gold?"

When Stacy returned to the dormitory in the afternoon, she opened the door and saw a pile of books piled on the floor. Danica was almost completely covered by the books, leaving only a little red haired head exposed.

"Why do you borrow so many books?" She walked over and picked up one, "Alchemy: The Great Mystery"? How did you start reading books about alchemy? I remember you were still reading ancient runes yesterday. "

Danica raised her head buried in the book, her face was dull, "I couldn't help borrowing so many books when I saw the words "Smelting stone into gold", but the content inside is too obscure."

Stacy turned out a huge old book that she was reading for fun recently, flipped through the pages quickly, and stopped at a certain page, "It just so happened that I borrowed a book from the library recently, and it also mentioned alchemy Art." She ran her fingers across the words in the book and read, "Ancient alchemy involves the refining of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing properties. The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold. , can also create an elixir of life, so that people who drink this medicine will never die.

Over the centuries, there have been many reports of the Philosopher's Stone, but the only remaining one belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Mr. Nicolas Lemay.He celebrated his fifth birthday at 660 last year and is now living in seclusion in Devon with his wife Perenal (650 eight). "

She stopped and took a sip of water, "The only person who can turn stones into gold is Nicolas May. It shows how difficult it is."

Danica couldn't help looking at the book in her hand again, "Although it is difficult, it is really full of temptation. I still want to study it again."

Stacy threw the book aside and threw herself on the bed, "Come on, future alchemist. But have you figured out what to give for Christmas? We have another trip to Hogsmeade before Christmas." opportunities in the village."

Danica continued to gnaw on the book, "I haven't figured it out yet, but I probably won't go to Hogsmeade to buy it, I'll just place an order with an owl and go to Diagon Alley to buy it."

"Good idea!" Stacy also dug out the Diagon Alley order form attached to "Wizard Weekly" and carefully selected it.But after a while, she threw the order list aside again, "Forget it, I'll let my mother pick it out for me when I get home." A week ago, Professor Flitwick came to register the list of students staying in school for the holidays, and Ravenk Danica was one of the few Law stayers, and Stacy and Roger were going home.

The next morning, Danica woke up from a dream, and she saw from the window that the Hogwarts campus had been completely covered by snow, a vast expanse of white, and the lake was covered with hard ice.

She walks through the exterior of the castle with Stacy and Roger, and they are going to the second floor of the castle for Defense Against the Dark Arts class.Danica saw Professor Quirrell walking in front of them wrapped in his large hood, and behind a tree not far from him, the red-haired Weasley twins were rubbing snowballs and waving snowballs. Wand, to cast magic on the snowball.The snowballs rose into the air one by one, and then chased Professor Quirrell, smashing hard on the back of his hood.Professor Quirrell didn't notice it for a while, and was knocked to the ground one after another by snowballs.

Danica uttered a cry of surprise and ran with Stacy to help him up.There was snow on Professor Quirrell's face in front of him and the turban on the back of his head, and his face was flushed red from the cold or from anger.

He stammered: "You two - Weasley - I'm going to your Headmaster - and tell me about your evil deeds -" He did not know what spell he said, and put George and Fernando together. Reid tied up the two, pulled the rope and took the two of them to find Professor McGonagall.

Roger stood where he was, and said in an admiring tone: "It's no wonder that you are the troublemaker of Gryffindor, who dares to throw snowballs on the professor's head."

Stacy gave him a blank look, but Danica suddenly felt a little puzzled, "There was so much snow on his turban just now, and I didn't see him take it off and shake it. I thought about it, and Professor Quirrell never took it off. His turban?"

Stacy took the two of them to the castle, and said as they walked, "What's so strange, if I'm bald, I don't want others to see my bald head, and it must be warm in winter."

After they sat down in the classroom and waited for more than ten minutes, Professor Quirrell and Professor McGonagall walked in side by side, and George and Fred followed behind them.At this time, the snow on Professor Quirrell's body and the turban had completely melted away, and he was wet. Professor McGonagall couldn't stand it, and cast a drying spell on him.He stammered a thank you.

Professor McGonagall stood on the podium with a dark face, "Today, I didn't expect that our Gryffindor students would actually do something like throwing snowballs on the teacher. I must apologize to George Weiss who made a mistake. Lay and Fred Weasley made some punishment by wiping down all the stairs in Hogwarts after class today, no magic. And I think I need to take ten points from Gryffindor as punishment." Then, she said to Professor Quirrell: "Okay, you can start the class." She left.

George and Fred returned to their seats and sat down, and Professor Quirrell began his class.Because of the cold weather and the closed doors and windows, the garlic smell in the classroom is more intense.

"Today we're here—to learn a new spell," Quirrell waved his wand, and said the spell to a flower pot, "Quickly imprison." The tip of his wand conjured a rope, and immediately tied the flower pot firmly. .He went on to say: "Just now - Weasley was bound by me with this - spell to find Professor McGonagall. Wilson, Fawcett - and Davies are nearby, they have seen - The effect of the spell on - people."

Danica listened hard, jotting notes in a book.Professor Quirrell continued: "This spell—it can also be used to seal the entrance." He said the spell to the door of the classroom, and then he went to pull the door, and it couldn't be opened at all, "It's like That way—and then we just say 'end over'—to end the spell."

The door was pulled open by him at once, and the cold air coming from the shop made him close the door again immediately.

"Now—a group of two—practice by yourself—I'll correct it next to you." Professor Quirrell also rescued the flowerpot.

Danica was paired with Stacy, and Stacy asked her to come first.Danica recalled the movements demonstrated by Professor Quirrell, waved her wand and cast a spell at Stacey: "Quickly imprison." She succeeded immediately, and she tied Stacey very firmly.

Stacy, who was tied up with hemp rope from the neck down, was very helpless, "You are tied too tightly, aren't you? If I didn't stay with you every day, I'm afraid I would think that the two of us have enmity."

"I'm sorry, I may have used too much force just now, I'll untie it for you right away." Danica felt a little guilty, "It's over." She walked towards Stacy who was released, her legs had just stepped out a few steps Suddenly, a light hit her, and a hemp rope quickly tied Danica. She lost her balance for a moment and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Stacy rubbing her wrist: "!!!"

Spellcaster Fred Weasley: "!!!"

George, who was in the same group as Fred, but just subconsciously swung an iron armor spell to block it: "!!!"

There was a moment of silence in the classroom, and Professor Quirrell walked over quickly and lifted the spell on her.Stacy quickly helped Danica up, she was thrown into a daze, and she still hasn't figured out what happened in just a short time.

George and Fred also ran over. Fred and Stacy pulled her up together. He asked anxiously, "Where did you fall? Do you want to go to the school hospital?"

Danica shook her head. She just hurt a little from the fall, and there was nothing serious about it. She slowly came to her senses and asked Fred, "Did you accidentally hurt me with the spell you cast?"

Fred shook his head quickly and said, "It's not me, it's George. I think his aim is really bad. I'm really sorry."

George standing next to him: "???" Brother, you push the pot too quickly, right?

After Transfiguration class in the afternoon, Danica and Stacy went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner. She saw the twins wiping the banisters of the stairs, and Peeves was making trouble next to him. He knocked down the bucket on the ground, and the water in it Scattered all over the place.One of the Weasleys yelled at him angrily, trying to drive him away.Peeves made faces at them, threw a rag far away when they weren't looking, and then turned and ran.He saw Danica and floated quickly toward her.

"Hey Danica, I heard from the students that Weasley knocked you down in class, are you okay?" Peeves asked her.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Peeves." Danica winked at him, "Thank you for helping me avenge myself."

Peeves waved his hand in a good mood and drifted away.

"Clean it up." She helped clean up the water on the floor, and Fred summoned the throwing rag back with his wand, and George took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to her, "I'm really sorry, Dany Card."

Danica took the candy and found that many of the candies were the same as Fred's previous gift. She handed a few pieces to Stacy who was holding her, and stuffed the rest into her pocket. "Thank you for the candy, I know it was just an accident and I don't blame you."

After saying goodbye to the twin brothers, Danica and Stacy continued to walk towards the restaurant. At the door of the restaurant, they met Roger who came out of it. He excitedly said to them: "The professors are decorating the auditorium, go in and have a look , is really wonderful."

They went in together, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were busy putting up Christmas decorations, and Hagrid entered with a huge fir tree.The Great Hall had become quite magnificent, with festoons of holly and mistletoe hanging on the walls, and a whole dozen towering Christmas trees all over the room, some with little shiny icicles hanging from them, Some trees flickered with hundreds of candles.

"It's really great!" Stacy took out a candy and stuffed it into her mouth, "There's only one day left for the holiday."

Roger turned to Danica and said, "Stacy and I are going home. If you feel bored in school alone, you can play with Weasley and the others. They also want to stay in school. I heard them say they The whole family is going to Romania to visit the second son who studies dragons there."

Danica couldn't help but exclaim: "Study dragons? That's cool."

Stacy wanted to speak, but she spit out bubbles one after another, she covered her mouth in horror.

"You didn't just eat the candy I gave you, did you?" Danica was startled, "I forgot to tell you that those candies were made by the two Weasleys themselves, and the effect is a bit miraculous. "

Stacy was about to cry, "Then what should I do now?" She spit out more bubbles as she spoke, and many people already looked at her.

Roger quickly brought a few dinner plates, "Let's go, let's go back to the lounge to eat. You will return to normal after a while."

The three of them walked back with a plate full of food, laughing and laughing.

Christmas is coming.

The author has something to say:

1. I also admire George and Fred... Dare to throw a snowball on the back of Quirrell's head, which is equivalent to throwing a snowball on Voldemort's face... I am so convinced, it is a miracle that they survived to the end

2. When I checked the information, I found that Voldemort actually had a child. I was shocked. He and Bellacritus had a daughter.It's amazing, people in their 70s can seize the opportunity to make another one, 6666
