Hogwarts Reading Days

That day, they chatted with Nicole and his wife all night. It was hard to imagine that the two old people had talked so much. Fortunately, they talked about the past, which was not boring, and it also let Albert and Isobel understand the history of centuries ago. What the wizarding world is like, if they are historians, they will definitely be very interested in the memories of the LeMay couple.

Unfortunately, they are neither.

Albert has no interest in history.

He is only interested in the birth of the Philosopher's Stone.

This is more due to the fact that he is an alchemist.

There is no alchemist who is not interested in the Philosopher's Stone.

This is the pursuit of many people's life.

Of course, it may also be because the Philosopher's Stone can conjure gold and make elixirs.

Nico agreed.

Through the Pensieve, he took everyone back to April 1382, 4, the day when the Philosopher's Stone was born.

"It took me 21 years to finally fully translate and master the contents of the Jewish Book of Abraham." Nico raised his finger to the parchment on the table, "The last Hebrew scholar gave me great help , I remember that day, as if I was bewitched, I kept trying to make the legendary Philosopher's Stone."

"That is the ultimate pursuit of all alchemists. When you know how to make the Philosopher's Stone, you can't help but try it."

"Indeed." Albert nodded.

"In the end, I succeeded. In fact, I don't know how I succeeded. In short, some mercury turned into gold under the influence of the Philosopher's Stone."

In the laboratory, Nico is trying to use the Philosopher's Stone to touch mercury, and the Philosopher's Stone is put into the mercury, gradually turning them into gold.

Everyone saw Nicole, who was over 50 years old, as happy as a child, jumping around with the Philosopher's Stone.

"I remember that day, Nico came to share with me with the Philosopher's Stone like a child." Perenal's eyes were full of nostalgia.

"If it were me, it would probably be the same." Albert said softly.

"The Philosopher's Stone really turned mercury into gold, and gold is better than ordinary gold, softer and more malleable." Nicol looked at the gold transformed by the Philosopher's Stone, and said softly, "Later, I discovered that those were not Real gold, but more valuable than gold."

"Later, we tried to make other Philosopher's Stones, because we found that using the Philosopher's Stone to convert mercury into gold will consume a small part of the Philosopher's Stone, so the Philosopher's Stone you see now is much larger than we were then Some."

"The re-engraving of the Philosopher's Stone failed?" Albert guessed the result.

"Yes, it failed." Nico nodded and said, "The Sorcerer's Stone we recreated cannot turn mercury into gold."

When Nico was talking, the picture in front of them became hazy, and then they found themselves in the laboratory. Nico was still in the laboratory, but he looked older, and the surrounding environment changed. There are many redstones similar to the Philosopher's Stone.

"Later, when we were old, we finally chose to announce the manufacturing formula of the Philosopher's Stone to see if anyone could successfully make the Philosopher's Stone."

"It turned out to be disappointing."

"Everyone fails."

This is probably the reason why there are so many formulas for the Philosopher's Stone in the magic world. Many people think that Nicole Flamel is fooling them with a fake formula, so they try to make the Philosopher's Stone by modifying the formula.

But they all failed.

When people tried to obtain the real formula from Nicole Flamel, those two elderly people had chosen to live in seclusion and disappeared from people's eyes.

The authenticity of the formula cannot be verified.

People's greed for the Philosopher's Stone has also disappeared with the disappearance of the LeMays. Many people only regard the Philosopher's Stone as a treasure in legends.

That night, Albert carefully studied the notes of the Philosopher's Stone, and recalled what he saw in the Pensieve by the way. This notebook did record the manufacture of the Philosopher's Stone in detail, or it recorded in detail the cases of failure to manufacture the Philosopher's Stone.

That's right, manufacturing failed!

The notes should have been written after the event, and more from the memories of the Pensieve, writing down the case of Niko's success in making the Sorcerer's Stone at the beginning, but the subsequent manufacturing of the Sorcerer's Stone all failed. Redstone with no effect.

Failure again and again made Nico completely give up research on the manufacture of the Sorcerer's Stone, and regarded the only Sorcerer's Stone as an incredible miracle.

After repeatedly reading the manufacturing notes of the Philosopher's Stone, Albert did not find the Philosopher's Stone's skill on the panel.

However, he didn't expect to be able to master the method of making the Philosopher's Stone after reading the notes.

After all, Nico could not copy the Sorcerer's Stone himself, and the method in the notes probably lacked some important factor, otherwise the Sorcerer's Stone could not be just a similar-looking red stone without any effect.

If the manufacturing method of the Philosopher's Stone really appeared on the skill panel, Albert might be able to know the principle of the Philosopher's Stone, but he does not plan to master the Philosopher's Stone in other ways now.

Even if you want to successfully create the Sorcerer's Stone, you will inevitably consume a lot of experience and skill points. Before Voldemort died, Albert would not consider wasting experience and skill points on the Sorcerer's Stone. After all, the elixir of life only makes people live forever , for the still very young Albert, it is not within the scope of consideration at all, and it is not worthwhile for him to waste a lot of resources now.

"Have you researched anything?"

A gentle voice sounded from behind, followed by a scent. Isobel, who was wearing a thin nightgown, put his arms around Albert, "I thought you were not interested in the Sorcerer's Stone."

"As long as you are an alchemist, you will be interested in the Philosopher's Stone." Albert closed his notebook, threw it on the table, and patted Isobel's hand, "Niko is probably worried that I might try it in the future. Make the Philosopher's Stone, that's why you gave me this notebook."

"Do you want to be like them too?"

"do not know."

"No, you really want to." Isobel stuck his body on it, "That kind of life is actually not bad. However, I think Mrs. Perenal is right, we should seize the moment."

"You're right dear, we can be said to be in the happiest time of our lives now." Albert smiled and carried Isobel on his back, beckoned to open the suitcase, and walked in.

……

The next day, after Albert had breakfast, he took Isobel to find Bud. This elderly man was currently on vacation in France.

Well, to be more precise, it should be that Britain is not safe. He ran to France to take refuge and help Albert's wedding.

It's just that Bud's way of refuge is a bit special. He hides himself in a Muggle and enjoys sunbathing on the beach in southern France.

The two saw Bud wearing stylish and cool clothes and sunglasses in a cold drink shop by the beach in southern France.

He looked like a cool old man on vacation.

Bard is also very popular among Muggles.

When Albert passed by, he was chatting with some travelers who were also here on vacation.

"The person I was waiting for is here, let's go first." Bud smiled and said goodbye to the friends he had just met, and walked towards Albert and Isobel.

"This is indeed a good place for vacation." Albert greeted Bud with a smile.

"It's good to mix with Muggles, and no one will pay special attention to it." Bud led Albert and Isobel towards a place where there was no one nearby.

"Is it ready over there?" Albert asked, "It will probably be on the 13th."

"Earlier than I expected."

"Mr. Nico's medicine is almost exhausted," Albert explained.

"There are still ten days, no problem."

Bud reached out and pressed Albert's shoulder, directly leading the two people to apparate.

The three of them appeared in a bush somewhere, surrounded by a large rock, which seemed to be the coordinates left here on purpose.

Bud led the way ahead and motioned for the two to follow.

"It's a little run down, but I've had the house-elves clean it up, and while it might be a bit of a problem trying to get people in, it's certainly fine for a wedding."

While speaking, Bud had already appeared near the manor with Albert.

In fact, there is no manor here, only a yellow bush.

"Welcome to Knowles Manor. No one has been here for a long time." Bud happily introduced to the two after making sure that there was no one else around.

As soon as the words fell, the bushes in front of everyone suddenly pushed away, and a stone path covered with weeds appeared in front of them. At the end of the path was an old French manor.

There is no doubt that the manor has been protected by the Fidelity Charm.

When the two entered the manor, Bud happily introduced it to them: "This was originally a small vineyard, but it's a pity that no one lives there and it was abandoned."

"Are there many places like this?" Albert asked curiously.

"I don't know, this is a legacy left by someone." Bud shrugged, "It was inherited by us, but you also know that we don't need it, so this place is vacant."

"Do we have other safe houses in France?" Albert suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Tiberus has a safe house in France." Bud said with a smile, "That's what he told me a while ago, and he probably guessed that you might need to use the safe house."

"My family will return to Europe after a while and I need a safe house for them in France," Albert explained.

"You can use the safe house provided by Tiberus. I've been there, and it's an old villa." Bud thought for a while and said, "However, I suggest letting them live in your suitcase. It's a big job to clean it up there."

"You can make a prediction first to see if it's safe for them to stay in a Muggle hotel." Isobel suggested.

"Forget it, it's just a few days, it's best not to relax your vigilance, and they will go to Knowles Manor to help with the final preparations." Albert finally rejected Isobel's proposal. He really didn't want to take risks, and there was no way significance.
