Sitting in the large library, little Hermione held her head and lifted her body up from the thick book, "Harry, what do you say, Professor Dumbledore and Sven see in the mirror?" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, it's a matter of privacy," Harry replied, but the pen in his hand didn't stop at all, frantically making up for his winter vacation homework. The wicked Professor Snape's paper did not prescribe the number of words, but the size of the assignment paper.

"I don't want to look at that mirror anymore, I don't know exactly what happened, although it looks like the picture in the mirror is very beautiful, but I have a strange feeling. "Ron, on the other side, is also frantically making up for his homework.

Hermione rolled her eyes, she didn't bother to talk about it anymore, the two pit goods next to her had already formed a copying line, and Harry was responsible for copying the parts that Hermione had leaked, or completing it himself through Hermione's explanation. And that Mr. Weasley had just given up on the treatment and copied Harry's homework directly, without going through his brain at all.

One is to think about it, the other is to copy directly, which is faster, there is no doubt about which is faster, so Comrade Weasley often stops his pen because he is too fast, waiting for Harry's homework to move on. Leisurely, Ron honestly picked up the snack Harry had bought and feasted on it, "Oh, there's a pack of chocolate clams, I'll see it's- no, it's Dumbledore again." With a look of disgust, Ron tossed aside the card that had just revealed Dumbledore's image.

"Ron, you've interrupted my train of thought!" Harry picked up the card in distraught and was about to toss it aside, but stopped and muttered quietly, "Dumbledore's well-known contributions include: defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering twelve uses of dragon blood, and being fruitful in alchemy with his partner Nicolame!"

Ron's eyes widened as he snatched the card from Harry's hand, he looked at it, and then seemed very happy, "Hermione, look, I found NicolaMay, I found it!"

However, Hermione just coldly took out a book that she had left aside for a long time and slapped it in front of the two of them, and with a flick of her wand, the page flipped quickly, stopping at a designated page. Ron and Harry whispered, "Ancient alchemy involves the refining of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing functions. The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir of life that will make those who drink it immortal. There have been many reports of the Philosopher's Stone over the centuries, but the only remaining Philosopher's Stone currently belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Mr. Nicol Lemay. He celebrated his 665th birthday last year and now lives in seclusion in Devon with his wife, Perenal (658). ”

"You already knew!" Ron said accusatorily to Hermione.

"And then, tell you what you have to do to solve all this, and you don't even have the ability to find this simple answer yourself?" Hermione said very seriously. The atmosphere seems to be somewhat deadlocked.

At this time, a bouncing man jumped in through the gate, it was Neville Longbottom, his legs were glued together, so he could only move forward in this way. Most of the people in the hall let out a mocking laugh. Hermione flicked her wand decisively - the spell stopped. Neville's clumsy body still hadn't kept his balance and fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Hermione asked as she helped Neville up, led him over, and sat down with Harry and Ron.

"Malfoy," Nacheng said in a trembling voice, "I ran into him outside the library. He said he had been looking for someone to practice and practice that mantra. ”

"You should go to Professor McGonagall, the professors will deduct points from him. Hermione doesn't know how many times she'd said that to Neville, but judging by Slytherin's point deductions, it was clear that Neville Longbottom had never done so.

It's the same today, Neville shook his head, "I don't want to get in trouble anymore." He muttered vaguely, and his whole body turned into a small tear bag again.

"You'll have to be brave enough to deal with him, Neville!" "He's always domineering, and there's no reason for us to give in before him and make it easy for him to get his way," Ron said. ”

"You don't have to tell me I'm too timid to be in Gryffindor, Malfoy has already said that to me. Neville choked up.

Hermione silently blessed Neville with a spell of courage, and after watching Neville seem to feel better and leave, their attention returned to the Philosopher's Stone. For Ron, who never had enough money in his family and used all kinds of old products from his brothers, "a piece of gold that can be exchanged for gold infinitely, and can make people live forever." Who wouldn't want to get. ”

"Then we know that what the three-headed Cerberus guards in that forbidden area is the ultimate product of this alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone. Harry took a deep breath, "It must be because they are friends, so Nicolame gave the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore for safekeeping, and besides, they already knew in advance that Gringotts was no longer safe. ”

"A dark mage so powerful that even Gringotts can't protect it, can Snape really do it?"

"I feel that if there really is such a magic stone, if I can really fulfill so many wishes, I will also risk stealing this magic stone. Ron said yearningly.

"You're actually discussing the Philosopher's Stone!"

"Our dear brother, you would never want anything like that. At this point, the Weasley twins appeared in front of everyone, seemingly holding a pile of borrowed books to return. Mrs. Pince inspected and collected the books to good satisfaction, and they were well protected, with no stains or damage.

"Do you know anything?

"The Philosopher's Stone, a relic of ancient alchemy—"

"The ultimate embodiment of evil magic, also known as the Philosopher's Stone—"

"Whether it's manufacturing"

"Or use-"

"It's all going to come at a very high price. Even George, who often has a hippie smile, has a serious face, "The price paid for such a thing as a philosopher's stone is far greater than himself, for example, it is true that you can turn stones into gold, but for this point of gold, you have to pay several times the price of gold." ”

Then the twin brothers forcibly pulled Harry Jr. up, "Okay, there's no time for little Harry to enter the Sage Time to think about the Philosopher's Stone, Wood is urging again, let me tell you, if we lose the next game against Hufflepuff, Wood can kill us." ”

"Spare me—" A helpless Harry was forcibly dragged out of the room by the brothers and towards the Quidditch training grounds.

Looking at the Weasley brothers and Harry, who had already left, Hermione's side was quiet again, she was thinking about one last thing, if the price of turning a stone into gold is several times the gold, then what is the price of prolonging life?
