"Does Mars have no moons?" said Fred doing his homework. Not long ago, he realized that he had forgotten his homework in astronomy class, and now he had to do one on a temporary basis.

"Mars has two moons, but the moons are smaller. Albert flipped through the pages and answered Fred's question: "The closer you are to the sun, the less likely it is to form a satellite." Mercury and Venus have no moons. ”

"That'...... Mercury and Venus, the one closer to the Sun. Fred continued to ask.

"Mercury is closer to the Sun. ”

"Finally caught up and helped me check for an error there. A few minutes later, Fred stretched and handed the parchment across the table to Albert across the table.

The homework in astronomy class is to draw a chart of the solar system, which needs to draw several major planets in detail, and also need to indicate the names of the planets and the number of moons.

Albert glanced at the astrological charts on the parchment and saw that Fred had a problem with his work, and reminded, "Saturn and Jupiter are in the wrong position." ”

Fred took the parchment and easily changed the positions of Saturn and Jupiter.

After finishing his homework, Fred stretched, turned his head to look at George next to him and asked, "Are you done?"

Qiao Zhi said of course: "It's been done a long time ago. ”

Fred pretended to be angry and said, "Traitor, you actually secretly do your homework without me. ”

"At that time, I asked you to do it together, but you didn't do it yourself, who can blame you?" George couldn't help but roll his eyes at Fred when he heard this, "I still remember what you said at the beginning......"

"When you're done, lend me a copy. Lee Jordan grinned.

"Yes, that's what you said at the time. ”

"You didn't borrow it from me. ”

"You didn't say you wanted to copy it!"

The twins began to talk about each other every day again, in fact, the two of them were idle, and if they were very busy, they would not have time to do this kind of thing.

"What are you reading?" asked Lee Jordan curiously, he was writing today's homework, they would always be used to writing homework with Albert, the advantage was that they could ask questions immediately, and they could usually get a solution, which was much faster than doing homework alone.

"Foolish alchemy. Albert turned the book upside down and showed the other party the cover of the book, which was Professor Broad's Introduction to Simple Alchemy.

"There doesn't seem to be alchemy in the school. Angelina walked up to her, holding the telescope she would use in astronomy class, stood behind Albert and asked, "By the way, when are you going to the Astronomy Tower, it's almost time for class." ”

"Wait another ten minutes. Albert pulled out his pocket watch, "I don't want to stay in the tower and blow the wind." ”

He put his pocket watch aside and continued to flip through the books in his hand. It's a pity that this book is a little thinner, and even if you read it, you can't count it in a hundred.

The author of "Simple Alchemy" is Jokowi.

That's right, it's the same Joko from Jokowi's joke shop in Hogsmeade Village.

To be honest, Albert was a little surprised when he first saw the name of the author of the book.

Of course, it's not hard to guess what the owner of the joke shop will be in the book.

This book is actually about the relationship between magic and alchemy.

What sounded like a tall cloak of invisibility is transformed into a cloak with a blinding spell in this book.

That's right, this thing becomes a so-called alchemical item.

The Blinding Charm camouflages an object to make it look like an inconspicuous stone on the side of the road, or something else.

However, in the eyes of some wizards, it is undoubtedly superfluous to use a blinding spell on a cloak, and they can use it on themselves.

Albert flipped through it, and really found how to make the amulet.

However, the introduction in the book is not the use of the Guardian Tree to create amulets, but the use of expulsion spells.

This spell creates an amulet that can repel some of the dark creatures, but it can also be problematic to wear.

When you carry this amulet with you, it will be difficult to receive emails from the owl, and the banishment charm on the amulet will also expel the owl.

Wizards who usually use this method to create amulets usually have a very average level of use of spells, and are unable to use banishing charms further.

"Simple Alchemy" also records the manufacturing methods of some mischievous joke tools, however, these strange things are not welcomed by most alchemists.

After reading the whole book, Albert felt only one word: speechless.

The most shameful thing is that at the end of the book, there is also a record of an alchemical object that claims to be able to drive away vampires - the garlic cross.

Seeing the name, Albert almost burst out laughing.

Not far from the name, it is to create a cross that smells of garlic through the principle that vampires hate garlic.

The simple way to make a garlic cross is as follows:

To make a wooden cross, extract garlic with alcohol, heat and mix the extract with beeswax or essential oil in a water bath, and apply the mixture thoroughly to the cross so that the cross is filled with the smell of garlic......

Carrying a garlic-smelling cross with you makes me feel an inexplicable sense of joy.

Well, this book is a real disgrace to alchemy!

"Is alchemy interesting?" Fred asked curiously.

"Interesting? No, alchemy isn't interesting, but this book is interesting. Albert closed the book and handed it to Fred, "After reading this book, my understanding of alchemy has changed dramatically. ”

"I'll take a look at ......," Fred said regretfully, turning a few pages, "this book is still too advanced for us to understand." ”

"If there is alchemy, it should be an elective in the third year, but unfortunately Hogwarts does not. Fred said regretfully.

"Let me see. George took the book, and suddenly let out a loud cry, startling several people next to him.

"What are you weird about? Li Jordan glared at George angrily and said.

"Look, you certainly didn't find out who the author of this book is. ”

"Author?"

"Jokowi. George had been drawn to the method of making joke tools above.

"Jokowi from Jokowi's joke shop. A few people asked curiously.

"Yes, that's him. Albert ignored George's resentful gaze and stuffed the book into his bag, "Let's go, it's almost time, if you're interested, there's still a long time, and the book is there anyway." ”

"By the way, why are you interested in this?" asked George curiously as he climbed the spiral staircase.

"I happened to talk to Professor Broad about Defence Against the Dark Arts, and he suggested that I read the book, so I borrowed it. Albert looked helpless: "It's just that I didn't expect the content of this book to be a bit unexpected by me." ”

After reading "Simple Alchemy", Albert's understanding of alchemy has been skewed, and those things in the book are really alchemy?

Albert reserved his doubts in this regard.
