Hogwarts from another world

Professor Bathilda Bagshot has just finished speaking.

But just as she paused to take a sip of water——

Someone raised their hands.

Professor Bagshot rubbed his eyes, seeming a little surprised.

"you are?"

"I'm Granger, Professor!" Hermione Granger said generously: "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I'm very curious, so I want to ask you: What is the elixir of life?"

When Professor Bathilda Bagshot mentioned Merlin's life experience previously, he mentioned that he had been using the elixir to prolong his life.

Apparently, Hermione wasn't the only one who wanted to know the answer to this question. As she opened her mouth, low whispers could be heard from everywhere in the huge classroom.

Professor Bagshot is a very kind witch. She is not angry because students interrupt her lectures.

Instead, he continued to say in a gentle tone: "My course is the history of magic, and what I study is historical events. Of course, if you are interested in the elixir of life-"

"Yes, Professor."

"We're interested!"

“Let’s talk about the elixir of life!”…

As soon as Professor Bagshot finished speaking, bursts of impatient and immature voices suddenly sounded from all around.

Wizards including some pure-blood families, such as Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass, were very interested and straightened their bodies.

Perhaps there was only Agnes Lestrange, lying on the table with some interest.

"Okay, okay." Professor Bagshot raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet: "Then I will meet everyone's requirements!"

The whole classroom suddenly became quiet again, and everyone was staring at the old lady on the podium attentively.

"As for the elixir of life, we have to start with the 'Philosopher's Stone'." Professor Bagshot said slowly: "There are also wizards who call it the 'Philosopher's Stone'——"

"It is the purest, most precious, and most magical substance. It is the highest masterpiece of ancient alchemy so far! Of course, on the outside, it is just an artificial stone with magical properties and the same color as blood. "

"It can realize the wizard's most primitive wishes, including endless wealth (turning any metal into pure gold), eternal youth, and infinite life... Infinite life relies on the 'Magic Stone' Can create an elixir that prolongs the life of the drinker!”

"Of course, the power of the elixir is not unlimited. For ordinary wizards, even if they continue to use the elixir, their lives can only be extended to between 700 and 800 years old at most."

"And Merlin not only possessed the Philosopher's Stone, but he also possessed half of the 'Incubus' bloodline in his body, which allowed his final lifespan to be as high as 1,200 years old. In the end, he died unexpectedly due to the goblin rebellion."

Professor Bagshot lowered his head again and took a sip of water.

When she raised her head, she found another hand raised in the air, waving.

"This gentleman?"

"I am Longbottom, Professor Bagshot!" The tall boy quickly stood up and said excitedly: "Does this mean that after Mr. Merlin's death, his magic stone was also passed down? "

"No, Mr. Longbottom." Professor Bagshot shook his head: "Merlin donated all his inheritance to Sir Merlin before his death, but this did not include the Magic Stone. So some people doubt that, During his lifetime, he had used up all the Magic Stones."

"Then how can we get a magic stone?" Another Gryffindor boy stood up with a "wow".

It immediately caused a burst of laughter among the teachers and students in the class.

"you are?"

"I'm Weasley!" the red-haired boy said quickly.

"Okay Mr. Weasley, but I suggest you raise your hand first when you ask a question next time." Professor Bagshot said, but there was not much blame in his voice:

"The craftsmanship of making the magic stone was lost six hundred years ago. Although there have been many reports about the magic stone over the centuries, the only remaining magic stone -"

Professor Bagshot's voice became mysterious, and she deliberately faked it:

"It's right here at Hogwarts!"

This sentence instantly made the whole classroom boil.

"what?"

"Really?"

"Are you kidding me, professor?"...

"Indeed!" Professor Bagshot raised his tone a bit: "The only remaining Philosopher's Stone was made by the famous alchemist Mr. Nick Flamel in the 14th century. After changing hands several times, it now belongs to Hogwarts. Headmaster Gellert Grindelwald!"

"Wouldn't that be..." Ronald Weasley said without thinking.

But he quickly realized something and quickly raised his hand.

"Very well, Mr. Weasley." Professor Bagshot gave him an encouraging look.

"Doesn't that mean that... Principal Grindelwald can live to be at least seven hundred to eight hundred years old?" Ronald Weasley quickly stood up again and asked loudly.

"Life is not as simple as you think, young man." Professor Bagshot's expression gradually became serious:

"A long life is often a kind of torture, because doing so means paying a heavy price. But in a limited life, do not regret for wasting your years, nor be ashamed of doing nothing, realize The true value in the heart. This is what a great wizard should do."

"Based on what I know about Gellert, it's impossible for him to do something as boring as using the elixir to extend his life."

……

Regarding the elixir of life and the magic stone, it is just a small episode in this "Potions Class".

Soon Professor Bagshot began to talk about the historic duel between Merlin and Morgana on the island of Avalon, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.

However, even after class, some people still couldn't forget about the Philosopher's Stone.

For example, when Matthew passed by Ronald Weasley, he heard him mutter: "If I get the Sorcerer's Stone, I will use it to make lots of gold first, and then in Diagon Alley Buy a house..."

Matthew was worried about a repeat of the "tragedy" at breakfast and dinner.

He didn't stay too long and left the History of Magic classroom in a hurry.
