[HP] Alchemy and Love

Cassandra smiled in surprise. "Think carefully, think carefully!" She said hastily, but at this moment, a St. Mungo's therapist came out, and the family members who were waiting outside surrounded her. Lorencia hurriedly seized this opportunity: " I have something to do here, let's talk later, mom, goodbye!"

She quickly turned off the double-sided mirror, wondering if she could bear further persuasion from her mother-maybe this time she would really be persuaded by the affection card, but she was a little ashamed of the possibility.

"Quiet, quiet!" cried the St. Mungo's therapist, but his voice was lost in the enquiry of dozens of voices, and he finally had to draw his wand and give it to himself. A "loud voice": "Be quiet!"

After the crowd slowly quieted down, he cleared his throat: "Now we have rescued six wizards and two Muggles. Are Benny Dixon's family members here?"

"Here, here!" A small girl in the back row of the crowd jumped up with a shrill voice, "I'm his sister!"

"You can go in. In the innermost ward on the left, your brother is the least injured and has woken up." The therapist said.The crowd pushed and shoved to make way for her, and watched enviously as the little girl galloped in. "Two Muggles," Kathy whispered, holding Lorenzia's arm tightly, "one of them might be Dad, right?"

Lorenthia took her hand back without answering.The names of the six wizards were quickly read, and the crowd gathered was reduced by more than half, and the remaining people began to cry sporadically.The therapist continued: "Muggle, Hugo Plant—"

"That's my dad!" Kathy exclaimed, rushing forward, and the therapist gave her a suspicious look: "Are you—"

"I'm a wizard!" Casey raised his wand to prove.The therapist nodded: "The third room on the right."

Casey rushed in immediately, and Lorenzia hurried forward: "I'm with her." She hurriedly explained, and also chased after her.The door of Casey was not closed, Lorenzia took a look and saw that there were two hospital beds in the room, Casey was sitting next to one of the beds, and another therapist was talking to her in the room talk.She thought for a while, exited and closed the door, which read: "Explosion: Magic Burn", and a brass-framed card underneath read: "Principal Healer: Amantha Madokaya; Intern Therapist: Carson Page".

She sat outside for a while, and the therapist pushed the door out first, and left in a hurry without even looking at her.After a while, Kathy also opened the door and smiled gratefully at her: "Dad is fine, thanks to you. Oh, Loren—really, thank you so much!"

Her eyes were still red and her face was haggard, but after she calmed down, Kathy's previous fearless aura returned a bit.She hugged Lorencia tightly: "I don't know what to say, Loren—you are really a great benefactor to our family!"

Lorencia patted her on the back: "I didn't do anything either..."

"Nonsense, you saved my father's life!" Kathy let go of her hand and kissed her on the cheek, "Okay, thank you for staying with me so late, go back to sleep."

Only then did Lorencia remember to look at her watch. Indeed, it was already past midnight.She nodded: "I'll take a look at Mr. Plant."

"My dad and one of his colleagues, neither of them woke up." Casey whispered and pushed the door open.Her father, Mr. Plant, was lying on the hospital bed near the door, covered with a quilt, and there were no obvious injuries.Lorenzia saw that his expression was calm and his breathing was steady, and he seemed to be in no danger, so Kathy took her out of the door.Lorenthia asked, "Aren't you staying with your father?"

"I abducted you from home and let you go home alone in the middle of the night? How can this work!" Casey said without doubt, "Of course I will send you back. Besides, I also want to go home and tell my mother the news. You know - she's a Muggle too, so there's no telling if she'll be able to visit."

Outside St. Mungo's, the patrolling Aurors had already withdrawn, and the streets were empty in the middle of the night. If you were alone, it would be a bit scary.Lorenthia and Kathy apparated to the door of the apartment, and Kathy was about to leave, but Lorenthia held her back worriedly: "Is it okay for you to go back alone?" She asked, "You are Muggle-born , are more vulnerable to attack. Wait for me—I'll get you a defensive item."

"No, I have to go back quickly, or my mother will be in a hurry." Casey shook off her hand impatiently, and Lorencia grabbed it again: "No, it's too dangerous for you to go back like this—"

"Ah, you're back." Suddenly looking at the opposite door, Sirius leaned out half of his body, "Loren, why haven't you responded to the message I sent you?"

"What?" Lorenzia froze for a moment. "Sorry, I must have missed it—we were in St. Mungo's, it was so noisy. Kathy's father—"

"It's one of the wounded from the explosion, right? You sent us a message to ask." Sirius waved his hand lazily, "Since you're back, remember to tell Lily."

As he was about to close the door, Lorenthia stopped him: "Sirius—wait? You... can you take Casey home?"

She was a little embarrassed to ask, after all, it was very late.Sirius grinned: "No problem." He took Casey's hand in a chic and handsome posture, "Let's go, young lady."

A week later, Lorenthia received a letter when she went to the owl shack to deliver her order.

"For me?" she confirmed to the owl with its outstretched legs in disbelief. "Is it really for me?"

The owl confidently stretched out its legs towards her and waited, but Lorenthia really couldn't think of anyone who would send her a letter—her relatives and friends were all in touch through double-sided mirrors, etc., and there was no need to write letters; The manuscript fee and sample issue of a thesis have already been sent, and there will be no follow-up letters; the order from the store has never been sent in the form of a personal letter to her.

With a little curiosity, she carefully unwrapped the thin letter.Her name was written on the envelope: Lorenzia Field.The signature is: Magic Transformation Research Group of American Alchemist Association.

This made Lorenthia even more confused.Although she is an alchemist, she has always been in the UK no matter whether she does research or publishes papers, and has nothing to do with the American Society of Alchemists—her father is an honorary professor at the American Society of Alchemists. The research direction doesn't match at all.Full of doubts, she put on a thin layer of alchemy gloves, opened the envelope, and carefully shook off a piece of letter paper.Seeing that the letter paper fell to the ground without triggering any evil spells, she picked up the letter paper. The letter read:

Dear Miss Field:

Congratulations that you have been accepted as an Intern Assistant in the Magic Transformation Research Group of the American Society of Alchemists.The current topic of the research group is "Research on Circular Magic Theory Based on Magic Power-Life Transformation". Please report to the headquarters of the American Society of Alchemists before October 1979, 10. The address is 1 Second Avenue, New York, USA. to be regarded as a waiver of eligibility.

We look forward to your arrival.

Deputy Director of the Magic Transformation Research Group of the American Alchemists Association

Sincerely, Ellie Parton

Lorencia took out the double-sided mirror without thinking. "Mom!" she yelled into the mirror, and when Cassandra appeared on the other side of the mirror, she blurted out, "What did you do? What's the matter with this acceptance letter?"

This is a letter from the research team on magic power transformation—American witchcraft believes that all things have animism, and began research on life magic very early, and an important direction of life magic is the transformation of life force and magic power.In this regard, American alchemy research is at the forefront of the world. This research group can be said to be a cutting-edge laboratory in the world of alchemy academic circles. Students have to go through some competition.Getting the admission letter right now is undoubtedly the result of going through the back door.

"Your father knew that this project was about to start, so he tried his best to get it for you." Cassandra smiled at her, "Aren't you always interested in this direction? This is the best opportunity, you Don't want to go?"

Lorenthia couldn't argue - she really wanted to go.Researching behind closed doors by myself is completely different from participating in such a top-notch research group. "But why?" She asked again, "Dad has always concentrated on research, and never cared about getting close to people, let alone asking for such favors. Why did he suddenly care this time?"

"What do you think? Mom really said it, and you're going to find me annoying again." Cassandra sighed, "But as a parent, how can you not care? First there was an explosion, and then you entered Mungo, do you know how we felt when we received the news..."

"...Wait, wait." Lorenthia said, with a bad feeling in her heart, "How do you know that I entered St. Mungo's?"

She originally thought that her parents had learned about the explosion through other sources, and then saw the scene of St. Mungo in the background of the two-way mirror while talking to her.But from this sentence, it seemed that Cassandra knew that she was in St. Mungo's before that.In particular, her mother didn't answer right away, but showed a bit of guilt and uneasiness, and Lorencia couldn't help but sink in her heart: "You—you didn't follow me?!" She cried out in disbelief , "What? Two-way mirror? Jewelry? Necklace?" She reached out to touch the pearl necklace hanging around her neck, and saw Cassandra's lips move. "Mom—this is your Christmas present!"

"We're not tracking you!" Cassandra hastily explained, "Really, it's just a small alarm, only if you're attacked, the necklace is activated or damaged, and when you enter the Holy Mountain It will only be triggered when there is a blow, let us be alerted, and there is no other situation!"

Of course, her father was capable of doing this, and Lorenthia had no doubts about it.But the problem is, she herself is fully capable of discovering, deciphering and even countering this tracking magic.It was entirely because she was full of trust in the gift from her parents that she wore this necklace without any doubt for more than half a year.

It turned out that the necklace was a siren to her parents... Lorenthia couldn't help feeling sad and angry. "I'm an adult!" she protested. "Have you always felt that you have to monitor my movements at all times?"

"It would be great if we could monitor your movements at all times!" Cassandra said, "Do you know how nervous your dad and I are every time the alarm is triggered? You know every time we want to open the two-way mirror I was looking for you, but I was afraid that if you were in a dangerous situation and distracted you, the two of us sat and waited together, and I couldn't help thinking about what happened to you, whether you were injured, whether you Not being attacked by Death Eaters, whether there are other people around, thinking about when you will be out of danger... Mom really can't bear it. Loren, can you come back? You can help your friends in America as well!"

Lorenthia pursed her lips.For her parents, she actually felt guilty: she always knew that they were worried about her, especially her mother.But... "Mom, if the United States is under attack by black wizards and Dad doesn't want to leave, will you stay with him?"

"You have someone you like?" Cassandra asked immediately, "Did he ask you to stay?"

Lorenthia was silent. "...No." After a moment, she said softly.

Not only did Remus not ask her to stay, he even wanted her to leave.But this matter was too complicated to talk about, and she didn't know how to explain it to her mother.Before she could think of a word, the door of the owl hut creaked, and a strange witch pushed in.Lorencia suddenly realized that she was standing in the owl shack with the letter in her hand. "I'm still out, we'll talk when we get home." She said quickly, "Goodbye, Mom."

She put away the double-sided mirror and acceptance letter, and left the owl shack quickly.Mid-August is the hottest time, the sun is dazzling outside, and a heat wave rushes in as soon as the door is opened.Lorenthia changed her mind - she wanted to go home directly, but decided temporarily that she could go to Florin's Cold Drink Shop to buy ice cream to comfort her depressed mood.She could feel that what she was going to talk about with her mother after returning home was far from being a pleasant topic.

The entrance to Diagon Alley is still sealed, but the soda shop is not affected by the blockade.Lorenthia walked along the street, and suddenly saw a familiar figure. "Remus!" she called.But the other party didn't turn around, instead, he accelerated his pace and left.

"Remus!" Lorenthia raised her voice, and chased after him relentlessly, only then did Remus stop. "Loren."

He didn't look happy.Lorenthia noticed that he seemed to have returned to the way they had just met: shabby clothes and a tired face.Negotiations with the werewolf must have gone very badly. "Long time no see. I heard about the day of the explosion. Is Casey's father okay?" Remus asked.

But Lorenthia was in no mood to chat with him.She didn't like the look - the relaxed intimacy, the shared smile, the eye contact between the two of them was gone, and she noticed that Remus's body posture was slightly tilted away from her, as if he was going to take the opportunity to get away quickly .Impulsively, she blurted out: "Has my quest been bothering you, Remus?"

"...I don't understand what you're talking about," Remus said.It was a lie so bad that she didn't even try to cover it up, and Lorenthia didn't answer, feeling exhausted.She hadn't done anything physically demanding at all all morning, which was closer to a kind of mental fatigue: she stayed, hoping to help, to fight, to be understood.But she worried her parents, the tracking features she'd added to the sim card were suspicious, and Remus now shunned her.Is she wrong?Shouldn't she have stayed?

In all fairness, Remus's attitude towards her this time is not colder than before, but there is a limit to the rejection a person can accept in a relationship after all, and this is the last straw.Lorenthia suddenly felt disheartened. "Okay." She said lightly, "Goodbye."

She didn't go to the cold drink shop either, she went home directly, and the first thing she did was to open the double-sided mirror.Cassandra obviously waited on the other side for a long time: "Loren..."

Lorenthia interrupted her: "I know, Mom. I'm going to America."

The author has something to say: The author complained about himself: When I was writing the first half of this chapter, I almost slipped my hand once and labeled Lorencia as Kelly.

After thinking about it, if Kelly was in this situation, it would probably be: I will take you home, and if you encounter Death Eaters along the way, come and beat one!
