Dear Miss Granger,

As agreed between you and me, when you finish my trials, I will bring you a different life, and if it is convenient, I will visit your parents this weekend, and if you can, write back to me.

Your faithful Bernard Rochefort

Finally waited, I've been waiting for almost a summer vacation, and school is going to start in two weeks, and the teacher's letter has finally arrived, and I thought it was just a joke, and I was sad that I didn't get the first place in the final exam, but now it's okay, the teacher is not joking, it's all true.

Excitedly, he picked up the pen and wrote, beckoned his owl, and sent the letter out, now he only had to say hello to his parents, lest Professor Rochefort come and they don't know how to get along, and they don't know how the professor came, and the fireplace in his house is not connected to the Floo network.

Hermione was blissfully distressed.

……

Contrary to what you imagined, the professor actually arrived by Muggle transport, can you imagine the taxi stopping in front of you, and the person who opened the door and got out was actually a wizard, can you imagine that feeling?

"Hello, Mr. Granger, I'm so glad to meet you." Today, Bernard reverted to his black slim suit, with no extra ornaments on his body except for the ring and watch on his hand, which made him look like a Muggle, sitting in the living room of Hermione's house without any sense of disobedience.

After some conversation, Mr. Granger said that both of them respected Hermione's own ideas and that they would not stop her if she wanted to. After the consent of Hermione's parents, in front of them, Bernard repeatedly confirmed Hermione's wishes, and only after the final decision was made that he took Hermione to his home, of course, this was not the house that Bernard had carefully furnished.

"Hermione, you know what? The test that the teacher himself set before was also the test that my mentor Nick Lemay used to test me, so you are really good, and according to our agreement, today we will conclude a sacred covenant, I will guide you on the path of truth, and after today you will no longer call me a professor, but call me a teacher, I ask again, Hermione Granger, are you really willing? ”

"I do." Hermione replied in an excited tone.

"Very well, let's make a contract!"

It's not as casual as Bernard and Nick Lemay at that time, for today, Bernard really has carefully prepared a ritual circle, this ritual magic has also been mentioned before, that is, after joining a certain organization, after the ceremony, the ability of the blessed person is greatly increased, that is, the current Bernard hole card is strong, otherwise he would not dare to do this.

After the last ceremony, Bernard's magic power has risen sharply, according to his speculation, he used to be comparable to Mad-Eye Moody, and now he is as strong as one and a half Moody, think about what kind of concept this is, that is to say, the gap between himself and Dumbledore, Voldemort's top wizards is not so big, after all, the growth of magic is not so simple, although Voldemort can easily suppress three Moody, it does not mean that he has three Moody's so much magic power, after all, in battle, in addition to magic, Combat skills are also important.

This time the harvest is far greater than Bernard's imagination, and the use of meditation plays a key role, because Bernard found that the crossing seems to have left some hidden dangers in his soul, and this ritual plus soul power plus meditation finally erased these hidden dangers, which actually makes Bernard happier than the increase in magic power, just look at Harry, the soul problem is not so easy to solve, so he really made a lot of money this time.

……

Standing in the midst of the magic circle, Bernard began to say in a chant-like manner: "Today, I, the alchemist Bernard Rochefort, will follow the ancient promise to lead Hermione Granger on the path of truth and explore the mysteries of the origin of the wizarding world. ”

"I do!" It's the same three words, but this time the effect is very different, just like pressing a switch, the magic array on the ground began to glow with golden light, and slowly the magic array began to disappear, turning into golden characters around Bernard and Hermione, and then as the speed of rotation continued to increase, it began to rush towards the two of them, until it disappeared, and then the whole ritual was completely over.

Although it looks very simple, the magic array is much simpler than the one used by Bernard himself last time, and the opening of the ceremony does not require such a luxury thing as a magic stone as the starting energy, but in fact, this ritual is not simple at all, not that it is difficult, but refers to the influence of this magic array, in addition to enhancing the ability of the member, this mysterious organization's initiation ceremony actually has one thing in common, that is, to increase the sense of identity of the organization, otherwise you think that only you can find talents, The circle of the mysterious world is so small, others can't poach people from you, so at the beginning of the ritual design, the designer thought of this problem, and Bernard is just learning and selling, but he does not have a school or organization at present, so Hermione's sense of identity is mainly aimed at Bernard as a person.

……

"Hermione, you have become my apprentice according to the ancient agreement, according to the rules among alchemists, you will get an alchemy codex and an alchemy item from me, and when you leave the school, you will also give me your own alchemy codex and alchemy items, only in this way can the way of alchemy develop forever." Bernard said with a little seriousness.

Seeing Hermione's little face nodding there with a serious face, Bernard suddenly felt a little funny, held back a smile, and took Hermione to his study, where Bernard jumped out of the bookcase with a copy of his old alchemy codex.

In fact, the selection of the alchemy codex also has some tacit rules in it, that is, the selection is generally from the time of his apprenticeship to the time when he became a junior alchemist, because at this stage, the content of each alchemist's codex is extremely complete and detailed, after all, it is in the stage of accumulating knowledge, and the careful taking of notes can be understood, and then in the future, every alchemist has to go out of his own way, and the alchemy codex at that time is very miserable, Just look at the notes of junior high school and college students.

Hand the alchemy codex he had specially arranged to Hermione, Bernard then waved his wand, and some silver and some beautiful or weird ornaments flew in front of Hermione, unlike his mentor Nick Lemay, who had accumulated six hundred years, Bernard's private collection was actually very small, especially for the last ceremony, and he had to heed heavily and sell some, and now the one in front of Hermione looked very ...... Ahem, what's the matter.

Although Hermione, who is now young and innocent, is shocked by the "rich" collection of her mentor, when Hermione grows into a generation of alchemists many years later, she can't help but want to laugh when she recalls this scene and reacts to her at the beginning.

……

In the following life, Hermione has been staying here in Bernard to learn about alchemy, familiar with the operation of some instruments, in Bernard's plan, Hermione will become his teaching assistant during Hogwarts, so one teaches seriously, the other learns seriously, but also complements each other.
