The symbol of Gryffindor is the lion, brave, bold and courageous......

Of course, there may also be 'a little' recklessness, forgetfulness, lack of patience and lack of brains.

Brandi is such a typical Gryffindor......

Don't look at him an hour ago, he was worried about whether his wand would turn into some kind of black-faced and fanged monster, but when he looked left and right, and found that his wand had not yet jumped up and stripped him alive, he began to feel a little restless.

He reached out and picked up his wand, and it felt as smooth as ever, the closeness of his blood that had made his heart hang in the air completely relaxed—the connection between the wand and him was as strong as ever.

He tried to recite a few small spells, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the magic power had been smoothly channeled into the wand, not only that, but I don't know if it was the relationship between the Philosopher's Stone, and the almost crazy magic extraction in the past was almost impossible to feel now!

Brandi couldn't even believe it......

The problem that has plagued me for a year has been solved in a blur?

While there were still a few minor issues, and the spells cast didn't seem to be as stable as they used to be, according to the Sorting Hat, it wasn't a wand problem anymore. It's just that the power of the Philosopher's Stone can't be completely digested by his wand for a while, which causes it to interfere with the release of magic to a certain extent. As long as a few days pass, when the xenomorph magic is completely eaten and wiped clean, this small flaw will be solved.

This made Brandi just ecstatic, he was just expecting to be restored to his original state at first, anyway, he was used to being accidentally drawn into a kidney loss. I really never expected that a piece of magic stone would actually make up for the loss of hundreds of thousands of years of magic power of chalcedony.

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Brandi screamed, and jumped onto Ron's bed in one fell swoop, jumping up and down shamelessly. Her mind was full of everyone's expressions of surprise and admiration when the next semester started—especially when she thought that Hermione would have to talk to herself in a cute tone in the future, and never have to worry about being bullied by her, Brandi almost felt like she would laugh out loud in her dreams.

As for what the Sorting Hat said, what strange functions his wand might appear in the future—

Ha! Is there anything stranger in the world than a unicorn with two horns and a wand that can act as a field hospital in an emergency?

If you have more lice, you don't have to itch, and if you have more debts, you don't have to worry, that's probably what happened to Brandi.

It took a crazy afternoon for Brandi, who had made a mess of the dorm room, to calm down a little from his euphoria. At this time, he thought of another more troublesome problem - his own hehe ate the magic stone. So what should he give back to Professor Dumbledore?

…… Hiss~

Thinking of this, Brandi couldn't help but feel a toothache, and he gasped.

Turning stones into gold! Eternal life! Even if it's a black magic artifact......

It's not something that Brandy, who has less than two Galleons on his body, can afford to lose!

Dumbledore trusted himself so much that he could give him the Philosopher's Stone for safekeeping...... As a result, the bones were left in less than two hours? God knows if Dumbledore will be. Thinking of this, Brandi just felt cold sweat all over his body.

"I think so...... Things shouldn't be as troublesome as you think. ”

At this moment, the Sorting Hat, who had been watching Brandy go crazy for an hour, spoke, and he realized that he had been fooling around in his dorm room with it. His face immediately turned red......

"Dumbledore knew about chalcedony, and even if he didn't know about the existence of a guardian, he should know the possible consequences of using the power of the Philosopher's Stone to repair your chalcedony wand." "I think Dumbledore probably just wanted to see this, so you can rest assured." ”

(Huh?) Wish I could use up the Philosopher's Stone? Brandi listened with a look of bewilderment.

"Of course, if you still have doubts, you can go directly to him to someone~ Anyway, it's summer vacation, and Dumbledore doesn't have so much work to do - in fact, even during the beginning of the school year, he is not very busy, is he, and is usually only responsible for briefly talking about two points at the banquet."

（………… ）

The Sorting Hat knew Dumbledore very well, and when Brandi slipped into the Headmaster's office again, he found that Dumbledore was actually nestled in his large armchair, eating candy without a mouthful, and holding a large book in his hand that was not a serious book in any way. On the cover, a handsome man with blond hair is constantly baring his large reflective white teeth.

"Ah, Brandi is back so soon? Is your wand fixed? Dumbledore threw an ice rat into his mouth, and he chewed it twice and swallowed it, then shivered as if his entire stomach was frozen. Do you want one? It's still very popular in the hot summer, and the Duke of Honey is almost sold out. ”

"Uh...... No need for professors. Brandi looked at the struggling mouse in his hand, and he remembered the pile of cockroaches in Hagrid's pocket. Sure enough, that's right, how did the Duke of Honey buy something so heavy!

"Professor, my wand is fixed, but ......" Brandi struggled for a long time, not knowing what to say.

"The Philosopher's Stone is consumed? Kindness? Dumbledore's expression was still light, and he smiled lightly. If that's the case, it's a small favor for Nicol. In fact, even if it exists, we will destroy it in some brutal way. ”

"Destroy it...... Well, that's not bad. Brandi breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Dumbledore and Nicolame are aware of the evil nature of the Philosopher's Stone.

"Not bad? Brandi, looks like you know a little bit about the Philosopher's Stone? Dumbledore raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

Brandi thought for a moment, and simply told Dumbledore what he had seen in front of the Mirror of Eris. Surprisingly, Dumbledore didn't seem to know about it, and his expression looked - there seemed to be some sadness.

“…… I see, it seems that after so many years, Nicol's obsession has not dissipated. ”

Dumbledore let out a long sigh, showing tiredness for the first time.

"Obsession? What are you talking about, sir? Brandi asked curiously.

"Ah...... This must have been a story from a long, long time ago......" Dumbledore rubbed his forehead with his hand, a look of remembrance on his face.

"There was once an alchemist who had neither a brilliant talent for alchemy nor a work that amazed the world. One is a complete mortal...... But he lived happily because he had a beautiful and lively daughter and a happy family. Dumbledore said.

He had high hopes for his daughter and taught her all the skills he had done all his life. And his daughter lived up to her father's expectations, already showing excellent alchemy talent and great magical talent at a young age. Before she graduated from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she had invented a number of alchemical products of practical value, and at that time, almost everyone in the entire French wizarding world knew her name, Gloria Lemay, the brightest glow at the top of French alchemy in the 14th century. ”

"Is that the daughter of Nicolame?"

Dumbledore nodded.

"That was probably Nicol's happiest time...... Later, as Gloria's alchemy skills became more and more sophisticated, she left her father far behind. She began not to be satisfied with her progress, just like magic, the more powerful the wizard, the more she wanted to constantly challenge the limits of magic - alchemy was the same, and after she reached her own bottleneck, she had to find another way, trying to find alchemical knowledge in the ruins of the ancients that would allow her to break through the shackles. One day, however, she heard that a dusty ruin had been discovered by a spell-solving team at Gringotts, and she rushed to it - no one knew what had happened there that day, and the ruins had vanished, leaving her alone to escape. She held a stone in her hand, which is now the Philosopher's Stone......"

"Huh?" Brandi was shocked. "But, Professor, isn't the Philosopher's Stone the method of making the Philosopher's Stone that Nicolame obtained from the Jewish Book of Abraham? But why ......?"

"Oh, Brandy, people are always subconsciously afraid of things they don't understand, and use all excuses and lies to interpret it - in fact, the Jewish Book of Abraham is just a façade, there are no angels in this world, and naturally they don't dream of bringing that magical book to Nicol. However, it would be correct to say that the Philosopher's Stone was made by him......" Dumbledore sat up straight.

"Gloria, who survived from the ruins, was subjected to an extremely vicious magic, which was a curse of aging passed down from ancient times, and her vitality began to pass rapidly, and at that time, no magic could pull her out of the hands of death, and could only temporarily delay her death by freezing her body - at this time, the old Nico, who loved his daughter, had an idea that made everyone crazy, and he wanted to make an alchemical product with infinite vitality to save his beloved daughter from the curse of aging."

Brandi's eyes widened, he didn't expect that the original purpose of the Philosopher's Stone was actually just to save people.

Brandi...... There are two basic rules of alchemy, which any alchemist must strictly adhere to – one is that all alchemy must follow an equivalent exchange; The other is that alchemy must not interfere with the laws of development. You think, when you have reached the end of your life, you are going to die, and prolonging the life of a dying person is clearly against this rule. Moreover...... And what can be exchanged for life......"

When he said this, Dumbledore's expression was extremely heavy.

"At this time...... He stumbled upon the role of the stone, which he discovered that could be turned into gold, which meant that it could be converted between different substances. The Black Death was raging across Europe at the time, and the corpses of festering maggots could be seen almost everywhere, and Muggles were rioting and killing everywhere there were still living people...... He's got an idea, crazy, and dangerous—he wants to use the remaining energy from the flesh and blood of those corpses to transform into a source of life in the Philosopher's Stone, which is what you see in the mirror, Brandy. ”

"Did he succeed?" Brandi asked eagerly.

"yes, he succeeded...... Because of that strong fatherly love and obsession. There are many things we don't understand about magic, and one of them is emotion...... Extremely deep affection is an incomprehensible but powerful force, and his intense love for Gloria has left an indelible mark on the Philosopher's Stone, whose nature has changed because of him. He hurried through every dead city that the Black Death had swept through, transforming the dead into the power of the Philosopher's Stone. Subsequently, he unleashed the art of alchemy, making the Philosopher's Stone a stone that would make people immortal in the true sense of the word. He also paid the most cruel price for going against the will of the world - he lost everything about his daughter from that moment on. ”

Brandi let out an exclamation, he couldn't imagine this feeling of fighting everything together and then losing what he was fighting for in an instant, that was confusion? Or despair?

"By the time he finished making the Philosopher's Stone, he had completely forgotten about Gloria...... But he also had an obsession, not an emotion, but a pure obsession to take the Philosopher's Stone to that place, and he brought the Philosopher's Stone to his daughter. But by then it was too late...... Gloria had passed away, and it was a desperate sight, and Nicol, who had given everything but failed to achieve anything, could not even perceive the slightest sadness...... He just calmly chose to live with his wife, because he couldn't die yet, and he needed to atone for the nearly a million dead people he had blasphemed. ”

Dumbledore stood up, and Brandi could clearly see the wrinkles on his face, he had never looked so old.

"So don't be afraid of it, Brandi...... It wasn't evil, but it was the inheritance of Nicol's centuries-old obsession, the desperate desire to prolong Gloria's life. That might be the last thing he left in the world about his daughter......"
