Chapter 59
Time passed quickly, and it was the beginning of January, and Hogwarts was about to start school.
William left a vanishing cabinet at home and placed it in his study. He then locked the door of the study and told the butler not to let anyone in.
Although the butler didn't know why, he still remembered William's instructions firmly.
"Grandma, I'm back to school. I'll be home to visit you in two days.
William gave his grandmother Deborah a big hug and then smiled and whispered in her ear.
"Okay, grandma will wait for you to come home to see me."
Deborah patted William on the back, with a hint of reluctance on her face, but she still let go of William.
"Go, it's getting late."
"I'm leaving. Goodbye, grandma."
William waved goodbye to his grandmother, then turned and got into a Rolls-Royce Silver Thor.
The butler closed the door for William, then turned and got into the driver's seat, skillfully started the car, and drove out of the manor.
All the way without stopping, he sent William to the villa in London.
William's car is at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. If he leaves from the manor, he will have to leave at 5 o'clock in the morning.
So, as usual, he came to London a day in advance, anyway, he had a place to stay in London.
The next day, William came to the familiar Nine and Three Quarters Station 487 and took the familiar Hogwarts Express.
William arrived early, found an empty compartment and sat down, picked up a book and started reading.
Not long after, Hermione came over with a suitcase.
"William, do you miss me?"
"Of course, my grandmother invited you to visit my home." William said with a smile.
Hermione immediately sat down next to William and asked,"Your grandmother invited me to visit? I haven't met your grandmother, why would she invite me?""
"Because my grandmother wanted to invite the girl I like, and you are the girl I like, so my grandmother invited you."
William said as if it was a matter of course.
When Hermione heard William's words, a shy smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Then when we have another holiday, I will come to your house as a guest, okay?"
""Okay, I'll pick you up then. Your father asked me to visit you before, so I can go visit you."
William and Hermione were discussing visiting each other's homes, and Neville walked in.
"Hi, William, Hermione, what are you talking about?"
"I'm inviting Hermione to visit my home after the holidays. Do you want to come, Neville?" William said with a smile.
Neville said hesitantly,"I'm afraid I can't.""
"Well, what a pity."William shrugged. Actually, he was just being polite.
Soon it was ten o'clock and a whistle sounded.
The Hogwarts Express started, and white steam gushed out from the locomotive.
The scenery outside the window passed by from slow to fast. William continued to chat with Hermione and said a few words to Neville from time to time. It was different from the first time to go to school. Everyone was unfamiliar with it, with novelty and expectation.
Now everyone has studied in Hogwarts for a few months and is familiar with the classmates around them. Everyone is more relaxed when getting along with each other.
William did not chat with Hermione all the time. The two of them took their books and read them, and occasionally Exchange a few words.
The Hogwarts Express sped all the way and finally arrived at the school in the evening.
As soon as William returned to the dormitory, Harry and Ron told him what happened during Christmas.
The invisibility cloak, the Mirror of Erised, night walks, Dumbledore's advice.
And Harry has been having nightmares recently. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
He dreamed again and again that his parents disappeared in a sudden green light, and at the same time there was a loud voice laughing weirdly.
Ron felt that Dumbledore was right, the magic mirror might drive people crazy.
After listening to their story, William just sighed:"People will be troubled by the things they couldn't get when they were young all their lives."
Psychologist Freud said: People's lives are always making up for the loss of childhood.
There is also a saying that goes like this: Happy people use their childhood to heal their whole life, while unfortunate people use their whole life to heal their childhood (agae).
Harry's addiction to the Mirror of Erised was due to his own suffering. Both his parents died and he was dependent on others.
William didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only rely on himself.
The next day, when Hermione learned that Harry entered the restricted book area but didn't find who Nicolas Flamel was, she was very disappointed.
So they almost gave up the hope of finding Nicolas Flamel in the library.
Although Harry still firmly believed that he had seen this name somewhere,[]
William thought Harry had seen the Mirror of Erised, and now it was time to find out who Nicolas Flamel was.
So on the first day of the semester, William found a book about Nicolas Flamel in the library.
It was a book called"Basics of Alchemy", which clearly mentioned Nicolas Flamel.
After all, Nicolas Flamel's attainments in alchemy could be said to have reached a legendary level.
That night, in the Gryffindor common room, William gathered Harry and the other two together.
"I have good news for you all. I found out who Nicolas Flamel is."
Hearing William's words, Harry asked excitedly,"William, please tell me who Nicolas Flamel is?"
William turned the book in his hand to the page that recorded Nicolas Flamel.
"Read for yourself."
Hermione snatched the book from William's hand and read it word for word:
Nicolas Flamel, the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone!
Ancient alchemy involved the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing powers.
The stone could turn any metal into pure gold, and it could also create an elixir that would make the drinker immortal.
There have been many reports of the Philosopher's Stone over the centuries, but the only remaining piece belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Nicolas Flamel.
He celebrated his 665th birthday last year and now lives in seclusion in Devon with his wife Perenelle (658).
"I guess the three-headed dog must be guarding Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone!" William said.
Harry murmured,"The Philosopher's Stone, a stone that can turn into gold and make people immortal. No wonder Snape is eyeing it! Everyone would want to get it!"
"No wonder we didn't find Nicolas Flamel in the"Research on the Development of Modern Wizards". It turns out that he is 665 years old, so he can't be considered modern, right?" Ron looked at William.
William nodded:"That's right."
Ron sighed again:"The Philosopher's Stone, it's a good thing. If I could get the Philosopher's Stone, I would buy my own Quidditch team."
Hearing Ron's thoughts, Hermione also spoke up:"No wonder so many people are thinking about the Philosopher's Stone"
"Indeed, the Philosopher's Stone is a priceless treasure, so it is normal for people to covet it."William himself also covets the Philosopher's Stone.
