Harry of the Sherlock Holmes

Chapter 11 Lectures on Alchemy

When Harry and the others arrived at the Great Hall, it had completely changed.Unlike when dining or holding a school opening ceremony, its decoration has become more modest and more in line with the atmosphere of learning.The long tables of the four colleges disappeared and were replaced by round tables. Nick Flamel hadn't arrived yet, and the students sat at the tables casually in twos and threes.

Although there is no rule, most people choose to sit with someone from the same college.Draco wanted to go over to Slytherin, but Harry held him, the twins waving at them.

"Oh, poor Malfoy." Fred clasped his hands on his chest and sang as if heartbroken.

"He can't escape Harry's clutches," George continued affectionately.

Their exaggerated performance caused laughter in the hall.Draco scowled and was about to get up from his chair, glaring at Harry.The latter looked innocent, looked him back and forth from head to toe, and then commented: "You really can't escape." He had learned how to catch with John.

But the twins have always gotten their level of banter pretty good, and they fell back to more serious before the argument really broke out: "Don't worry, you're not alone." They pulled out a small wooden badge, and with their wands Nodding, "Can you hear me?"

"You did it?" Harry jumped up in surprise, "I missed this."

"It's still far away, the noise is too loud." Blaise Zabini walked over with his head held high.

"What the hell is going on here?" Draco stared in shock at what he saw. "I thought you didn't like being with…(he swallowed those words) them."

"After you've talked to me about what it's like to jump into lions?" Blaise squinted his dark brown eyes, then shifted his eyes critically to Harry, Hermione, Ron and the twins, "Some people might be worth it." Give it a try." Although Harry didn't show any hostility towards Slytherin, and he was good enough in class, Slytherin was not uncompromising about Malfoy's closeness to the savior.Draco is one of the few characters that Blaise can look up to, so Blaise hopes that his Gryffindor "friend" is not too stupid.

"Of course we deserve it." Harry looked the tall boy straight in the eye.

"It hasn't started yet." Ravenclaw's Penelope Krivat ran over panting with Padma Patil. "There are too many materials, and it is really difficult for us to choose."

Cedric smiled behind them: "To hear such a master's speech, no amount of preparation is too much." After putting a thick stack of books on the table, he gentlemanly helped the two girls open their chairs .

"You even have a team." Harry looked at the twins with displeasure, "You didn't even let me know." He discussed the idea of ​​communication equipment with the twins, but he didn't expect them to put it into practice so soon.

"Oh, dear little Harry." George winked at him. "We'd love to call you, but the secret of the castle is more attractive, isn't it?"

"So we plan to give you a surprise." Fred pointed to the badge, "This is a really good idea, but we need support from many sides." He gestured to his friends from different colleges with his eyes.

"So we're the weirdest table here?" Ron asked sharply.He looked around, and they were the only table with all the students from the academy.It's been almost a week and he still can't accept the fact that he's "friendly" with the Slytherin snake (Harry always has a way of diverting their attention before they actually quarrel. Malfoy is the only one on the same page about how terrible some of Harry's ideas really are.)

His brothers patted him on the shoulder. "That's a really smart thing to do, and you'll see that soon."

The twins were right.Although Nick Flamel said that this is just a simple lecture for everyone to get a preliminary understanding of alchemy, it is still full of a lot of academic terms and professional terms.Although they have been looking forward to it for a long time, most people still just listen to the lecture with the mentality of looking around casually. They have not made any preparations in advance, and the table they choose at random based on their close relationship cannot bring more excitement to their discussion. Pros - People generally like to be around people of similar skill level.

Harry's table is much better: when Flamel involves some places that ordinary people have not touched (usually some complicated magic lines and magic circles), the senior Ravenclaw will whisper for them ; Hermione and Padma took care of the records; Neville (Harry pulled him in after seeing him) had an amazing knowledge of alchemical materials involving plant parts; It reflects Hufflepuff's practical strengths; Slytherin is the person responsible for potions and item descriptions (they have more or less alchemy products in their homes, and some are from the hands of masters); Harry and the twins Frantically planning their next experiment, Ron resisted desperately at first (he didn't want to be a test subject) but soon joined them.

"Finally." Nick Flamel raised his voice to get attention. He understood that this was not some random and superficial knowledge, so he left enough time for everyone to digest and understand, "One law you must pay attention to, all alchemy root." He came to the round table where Harry was, "I noticed that you are doing very well, so can you tell me what it is, Mr. Potter."

"Uh... the law of conservation of energy?" Harry said uncertainly, "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another, or transferred from one object to another." Objects, in the process of transformation or transfer, the total amount of energy remains unchanged." Those books are more about the process and results of material refining, and do not emphasize this, but if there is something that must be followed, this line of physics The law of study is very suitable.

"That's right." The alchemist replied, "Although books usually don't mark them in the book, this is the truth that all alchemists must engrave in their bones-anything you make and use, you must pay for it." The price, whether it is material, magical power or even soul."

"Be careful, if you don't recognize what you have to lose, you are making a deal with the devil."
