Chapter 25: Nicol Lemay

However, despite the colder weather, Harry was getting more and more energetic, and was active all over the castle every day, looking for Snape, and the reason for this strange situation was after returning from Hagrid......

Darren, who was looking for materials in the library because of the campus public address system, was very surprised to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione all flipping through books together!

It was not surprising to Darren that Hermione would go to the library, and he often went to read books or look up materials with Hermione, and Hermione used her amazing memory to help him a lot, which benefited him a lot, but Harry and Ron, Darren saw them less often than Snape didn't deduct Harry's scores, "What are you looking for?" Darren asked.

"Be quiet," Harry pulled Darren to sit with Ron and Hermione, the table in front of them already piled with books, "we're looking for Lemay, that's what Hagrid said that day." ”

"Nicol Lemay?"

"yes, my gosh, you didn't care what he said after talking to Hagrid that day?" Harry looked like he hated iron, and Hermione and Ron looked at Darren with the same look.

"What do you care? Didn't Hagrid say yes, it's Hogwarts, and there are so many professors, and Dumbledore, do you think you're better than them? Honestly, if, I mean, if there's a guy as strong as any professor who wants to hurt you, I'm afraid you'll be finished before you shout for help, or worse. Seeing that Harry really began to live and die, and took Ron and Hermione to do it together, Darren felt that it should be saved, at least, he saw that Hermione seemed to lower his head slightly after listening to what he said.

"But that's not enough, they don't know about Snape's scheme, they don't know that Snape is going to steal what the three-headed dog guards, they will be negligent!"

"You've said that there are three-headed dogs guarding you, and you've seen Snape bitten by three-headed dogs, so at least you can rest assured. ”

Harry had to keep his mouth shut at Darren's words, but looking at his clenched fists, it was clear that he was far from convinced.

"Alright," Darren sighed, "what do you want to do?"

"What should I do?"

"yes, what would you do if everything was up to you now?"

"Listen to me, I'll ......" Harry stopped abruptly as he realized he didn't know what to do himself.

Darren waited for a moment, looked at Harry's expression, and decided to "prompt" him, "Fire Snape?"

"Expel, yes, expel Snape so he can't steal at Hogwarts. ”

"Then your life is over," Darren said in his heart, of course, he didn't say it, just looked at Harry, and Hermione spoke it for him, "That's impossible, Snape is a professor or the head of Slytherin House, without real evidence, Dumbledore can't expel him because of your suspicions."

After a few moments, Harry himself wilted, but wanted to continue struggling, "But by the time there is real evidence, it will be too late." ”

"Do you think you can catch thieves better than Dumbledore? ”

“……”

Finally persuaded Harry to them, Darren felt very satisfied, at least the lovely Hermione didn't have to waste any more time, and he had to find more information for him, recently he had been studying the problem of magic interference with Ron's twin brothers, God knows how much magic was cast at Hogwarts, and some places were obviously connected to the line, but the sound just couldn't be transmitted.

But by this time Hermione seemed to have begun to dig into the horns, looking at the stacks of books in front of her, and muttered, "Who is that Nicol Lemay? He is not found in The Great Wizards of the Twentieth Century, nor in the Directory of Famous Contemporary Magicians, nor in the Great Discoveries of Modern Magic, nor in the Studies on the Development of Modern Witchcraft......"

Looking at Hermione, Darren could only say that the library management level of the wizarding world was too backward, far worse than that of Muggles, not to mention the digitization of books, not even an electronic search engine, which made our cute girls tired.

Darren thought about it, it seemed that it didn't matter if he told them about Nicol Lemay, it was a matter of time or time anyway, and Hermione didn't have to go through the trouble of accompanying these two idiots, and Harry and Ron weren't masters who would read books seriously, and it wasn't all Hermione who was looking for them, so he said, "I'm really impressed with Nicol Lemay." ”

As soon as he heard Darren's words, Harry and the three of them immediately turned their eyes and stared at Darren tightly, "What, you know 'Nicol Lemay'?"

"I don't know, I've just seen the name. ”

"Where can I see it? Which book is a textbook, no way, if there is a textbook, I can't remember it. ”

"It's on the picture," Darren finally waited for Hermione to catch her breath, and quickly interjected, "On the train to Hogwarts, the picture that came with the chocolate frog that Harry bought, the one about Dumbledore, said 'Nicol Lemay', and the 'Philosopher's Stone' or something. ”

"The Philosopher's Stone?" Hermione jumped up and flipped through the pile of books in front of her, "Wait! I didn't think to look for it here! I just took it off the shelf and wanted to borrow it for fun." As she spoke, she pulled out a large old book and flipped through it quickly.

"Nicol Lemay is known as the only maker of the Philosopher's Stone!" Hermione finished reading and pushed the book to the others, and Harry and Ron continued: "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 about the Philosopher's Stone over the centuries, but the only remaining Philosopher's Stone belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Nicol Lemay. He celebrated his 665th birthday last year and now lives in seclusion in Devon with his wife, Perenal (658). ”

"Got it?" After Harry and Ron finished reading, Hermione asked. "That big dog must be guarding Lemay's Philosopher's Stone!"

"A stone can make gold, and it will make you immortal! You see Nicol Lemay has lived for more than 600 years. Harry said, "No wonder Snape is playing with it!

"Okay, I think you already know who Nicol Lemay is, do you have any questions?"

"Snape is trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone guarded by the three-headed dog, and we're going to stop him!"

“…… You're not done!"
