I, an emotionally flawed person, seek redemption at Hogwarts

Chapter 24



"You still have such a bad taste." Dumbledore said helplessly,"Long time no see, Nico."

Nico Flamel waved his hand and said,"What do you mean by bad taste? Don't say anything careless. It's not easy to have guests at home, can't we make jokes? You only know how to tell jokes, which is not funny at all." He looked disdainful.

Hermione said to Glenn in shock,"Isn't it too much to joke about something so precious?"……"

"Too wasteful? No, no, no, dear, as long as the energy in the Philosopher's Stone has not been consumed, I can have as many of these as I want."The old man curled his lips.

"And this elixir of life doesn't really make people immortal. It just introduces new and young forces to cleanse all the impurities in your body, which can at most delay aging, restore youth, and prolong life."

Yeah, that's it.

"Nothing can save the mortal body from death, child, all men are mortal."Nico said softly,"At my age, even if I drink more elixirs, it will only add to the burden on my body. My soul has reached its limit."

"I can't walk anymore, and I don't want to walk anymore." He murmured sadly.

Hermione covered her mouth. She couldn't imagine that the legendary alchemist who had lived for more than 600 years would end here, and they would come to disturb the old man to enjoy his old age.

"I can't walk, but I'm not completely unable to walk." The old man changed his tone and blinked.

"If I drink a cup of elixir every day, I should be able to live another hundred years.

Hermione:...

Do all of you old men like to blink? ?

The old man seemed to be happy that he succeeded in amusing the child, but he still said seriously to the depressed Hermione:"When you reach my age, you will know that living too long is not a good thing, so it is my wife and I's common wish not to continue, so there is no need to be sad for us. Everyone has their own ideas. For example, look at your Professor Dumbledore. Although he knew it was the elixir, he didn't touch it."

Old Dumbledore gave Nico a middle finger in his heart.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and it seemed that he didn't intend to explain.

Hermione seemed to understand, and although she still felt sad for the old man she met for the first time, she didn't say anything.

Glenn didn't have so many thoughts. He felt that being alive and living in the present was enough.

In the days that followed, Dumbledore seemed to be here to take care of the elderly. He seemed to have forgotten his purpose of coming behind him. Every day, he followed Nico and his wife outside to bask in the sun and feed small animals.

Glenn and Hermione recorded and understood the contents of the books in the library area of the villa every day. The books were all about Nicolas Flamel's understanding and application of alchemy.

But after several weeks of research and study, Hermione was very frustrated to find that she had no talent in alchemy. She had memorized all the knowledge, but she couldn't use it.

This was the first time she was frustrated in her studies. The little girl who had been smooth sailing in her studies cried all night in grievance.

Glenn didn't persuade her, but just sat on the edge of the bed and accompanied her silently, giving her a quiet space to think.

It's normal to be frustrated occasionally. People always have things they are not good at.

For example, it was difficult for Glenn to find the right direction to learn Transfiguration, which Hermione was very good at. He could cast the Transfiguration spell, but it was very awkward, as if his body and wand were rejecting the magic circuit generated by Transfiguration. Even simple spells could not be cast silently and without a wand.

He believed that Hermione, after experiencing so many things, must be more flexible in thinking than before, and she would not really get stuck in a dead end.

Moreover, after listening to Nico's explanation, he did not intend to let Hermione learn alchemy.

The essence of alchemy is to consume energy to transform matter, and the matter and energy consumed in this process are the price of alchemy.

The premise of transformation is to understand the morphological structure and internal structure of the final transformed matter. The more complex the object, the more energy and matter it requires and consumes.

Without a huge energy supply, the alchemist has to consume his own vitality to transform the object. This process is very painful and dangerous.

Hermione does not have a huge magical reserve like Glenn. It is too dangerous to rashly carry out alchemical generation.

Glenn does not intend to let Hermione take this risk.

Anyway, he is still there.

Even if you want to take the risk, you can't take it.

The little girl, who should have figured it out, gradually stopped crying, revealing a wronged little face, with red and swollen eyes. She whispered good night to Glenn and fell asleep.

Glenn covered her with a quilt, turned off the lights, sat on the sofa beside the bed and entered a meditative state, studying the principles and composition of the basic alchemy array in his mind.

It was another new system. Glenn, who had just started learning magic (Glenn's concept), was both happy and sad.

The next morning, when Glenn woke up from the sofa, he saw Hermione already reading the second-year spells textbook. When she saw Glenn wake up, she waved and greeted him as usual, and urged Glenn to wash up and eat.

The two of them went downstairs to eat together, and after dinner, they took a walk around the villa to digest the food.

Walking side by side quietly and feeling the beauty of nature, Hermione squatted down and observed the strange flowers created by Flamel through alchemy on the ground. She whispered,"I think, for the rest of my time here, I should consolidate the spells in the Standard Spells. Level 2 and the Elementary Transfiguration Guide. It seems that alchemy is not for me."

Glenn suggested,"You can learn from Dumbledore. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to complete his task anyway."

Hermione thought again and stood up excitedly,"Yes, I forgot that Professor Dumbledore is still here. The book says that he is the greatest wizard of this century and is also proficient in Transfiguration!" Hermione was a little annoyed, as if she was angry at herself for being so slow and forgetting this.

"Have you figured it out?"

"Of course!" Hermione's mood became cheerful again. Seeing a group of little rabbits sleeping together in front of her, she ran up happily and wanted to touch them.

Glenn looked at the smile on the face of the girl who was happily stroking the rabbits in front of him, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Such a life is really good

"Rock Spear, refined." Glenn completed the last symbol of the alchemy array and injected magic power into the center of the array.

Under the influence of the alchemy array emitting red light, the surrounding lawns gradually merged and transformed, forming several cone-shaped objects floating around Glenn. With the continuous output of magic power, the rock spear could move according to Glenn's will.

Raising his hand and pressing down, the rock spear burst out with great power and smashed into the target ground, creating a big pit.

"Sure enough, alchemy is more suitable for defense and logistics."Glenn was speechless.

Flamel's mouth twitched. Are you really a wizard? Why do I see that the trend of your alchemical attacks is leaning towards physical damage?

He reminded from the side:"This is just the most basic transformation, and it is the most superficial way to use alchemy. If you really want to create some powerful moves in this area, you can try to change the internal form of the transformed substance in the future. The material composition of the transformed product does not necessarily have to be the same.

In my opinion, the move you just used should transform those rocks into a bunch of flammable and explosive substances, just like a Muggle bomb!" Flamel, who was getting more and more excited, was covered by Dumbledore's mouth and dragged away.

"Stop teaching Glenn dangerous things."Dumbledore's voice came faintly from a distance.

You're kidding, Glenn already made so many guns last year and you're still teaching him more dangerous things. You're such a bastard.

"……"Silently watching Flamel being dragged away, Glenn said,"I also want to use it at a deeper level, but my magic power is not enough."

However, what if this simplest alchemy array of shaping and transformation is combined with Transfiguration?

Glenn has an idea in his mind, which requires Hermione's cooperation, but the little girl's magic power is too little at present, and it may not be realized.

Then he will discuss it with Hermione later.

However, if you count the days, he and Hermione have been staying with Flamel for almost half a year, and Hogwarts is about to start the next round of enrollment, and the two should officially enroll.
