Old Tom in the newspaper.

"Look, old Tom is in the newspapers, and oh my God, he's been attacked by a dark wizard." Ron took this morning's Prophet newspaper as if he had found earth-shattering news and showed it to Harry and the others.

Harry took the newspaper and read, "The owner of the Leaky Cauldron has been attacked, the Dark Wizard has broken into the house, and the Ministry of Magic will step up its efforts to clean up the Dark Wizard......"

"It's terrible, those dark wizards actually dared to attack Old Tom, that was the person guarding the entrance to Diagon Alley, by the way, Li Yang, you were there at the time." Ron looked at Li Yang, who was eating a chocolate frog snack one by one.

"I was already in the car and coming back." Li Yang had chocolate in his mouth, and while replying indistinctly, he casually took the newspaper in Harry's hand.

"Merry Christmas, Li Yang." Neville walked over and handed Li Yang a gift.

“…… Merry Christmas. Li Yang responded with some unresponsiveness.

He really didn't expect that he would still have Christmas gifts.

"Oh, I haven't prepared a Christmas present for you yet." Ron shouted.

"Me too." Harry said.

"It's all your fault that you came back too suddenly, didn't you say you were going home for Christmas, Harry and I agreed that we were going to give you gifts when you returned to school." Ron explained.

"It's okay, I just wasn't ready." Li Yang didn't care.

Seeing Neville standing opposite, looking at himself expectantly, Li Yang didn't know what it meant, so he put down the newspaper first, opened Neville's gift box, and took out a shorthand quill pen.

"Oh, I like it very much, it will be convenient to write homework in the future, thank you." Li Yang said happily.

"You're welcome." Neville retracted his gaze with satisfaction and left.

Li Yang looked down at the newspaper.

In the newspaper, the old Tom in the black-and-white photo showed his toothless mouth and spittle, telling the thrilling process of being attacked by the dark wizard, which was enough to make a book, and finally said that it was an unnamed wizard who saved himself......

"That must be a very powerful wizard, I really want to meet this person." Ron had an admiring look on his face.

You've seen it, and you played with your rat last night......

Li Yang complained in his heart, put down the newspaper, took out three more chocolate frogs, gave one to Harry and Ron, and asked casually, "Have you found Nicol Lemay?" ”

"Nope."

At the mention of this, Harry and Ron hung their heads.

"We've searched hundreds of books, but we haven't found any Nicol Lemay."

Li Yang opened the chocolate frog and stuffed it into his mouth, "Don't be discouraged, the Hogwarts library has the richest collection of books in the world, as long as you persist, you will definitely find it." ”

"Then we'll have to find a time to go." When Ron thought of the terrifying volume of books in the library, he felt that the future was dark.

"No, that's too slow, I think, we need to ask Hagrid, he must know the clue about Nicol Lemay and the three-headed dog named Louwe, didn't he know from him, he must know a lot more, it just so happens that we will accompany Hagrid to visit the Forbidden Forest tonight, it is a good opportunity." Harry turned his attention to Hagrid.

"Patrolling the Forbidden Forest? Why are you patrolling the Forbidden Forest? Li Yang asked.

"It's not that Malfoy guy yet." Ron was furious when he said it now.

"On the first day of the Christmas break, the afternoon of the day you left, that guy bullied Neville with a leg-locking spell, and we couldn't look past it, so Malfoy said he was going to duel us in the evening, and we agreed, only to find out that the guy didn't come at all, but went home in the evening, and when Filch caught us, no one believed what we said, and finally was punished to help Hagrid."

"It's a lot like Malfoy's style." Li Yang chewed chocolate in his mouth, not surprised at all.

"Wait." Harry suddenly screamed and grabbed Li Yang's hands.

Li Yang held the open box of the chocolate frog in one hand, and the picture attached to it in the other, the picture was facing himself on the front, with a portrait of Dumbledore on the top and Harry on the reverse, with a few lines of small print printed on it:

"Look at this, Dumbledore's well-known contributions, defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering the twelve uses of dragon blood, and working with partner Nicol Lemay in alchemy, I found it, I found Nicol Lemay, it turned out to be an alchemist, haha, I know how to find it."

Harry happily picked up Ron and Li Yang, ran to the library, and plunged headlong into the books classified in alchemy, and soon found a huge old book listing some of the best alchemists in the history of the wizarding world, including Nicol Lemay, and told about Nicol Lemay's remarkable achievements in the field of alchemy.

"He is known as the only maker of the Philosopher's Stone."

"It can turn any metal into gold, and it can make an elixir of life, so it's no wonder Snape wants it."

"This must be what Lu Wei is guarding."

"What are you three little ones doing in the library?" Hagrid's head suddenly protruded from top of their heads, startling them.

Harry didn't even hold the book in his hand, and with a "bang", it fell to the ground.

Hagrid lowered his head and looked at the book curiously, and when he saw the word alchemist on the title, he immediately slapped his forehead helplessly, "Oh my God, you guys are still investigating." ”

Ron picked up the book, flipped to the page introducing Nicol Lemay, and said triumphantly to Hagrid, "Not only did we find out who Nicol Lemay was, but we also knew that the dog was guarding the Philosopher's Stone..."

Hagrid almost reflexively covered Ron's mouth, looked around quickly, and was relieved to see that no one was hearing, "Listen, this is a very confidential matter, and you are not allowed to mention a word outside." ”

"Hey, Hagrid, what kind of book are you?" Li Yang suddenly pointed to the book in Hagrid's hand, and leaned over to look at it as if he was curious.

"Nothing." Hagrid snorted and slipped the book into his arms, covering it with a wide moleskin coat.

His appearance immediately aroused the suspicions of Li Yang, Harry, and Ron, "Really? ”

Hagrid's eyes widened, "Don't change the subject, you are investigating confidential matters without permission, and I haven't held you accountable yet." ”

You're changing the subject, aren't you...... Li Yang complained in his heart.

"Three of you nights, don't forget to accompany me to patrol the Forbidden Forest tonight, this is Professor McGonagall's punishment for you, and no one can escape." Hagrid couldn't go any longer, so he could only keep a straight face, pretend to be serious, and leave with the book in his arms.

"There must be something wrong with him." Harry was sure.

"Uh-huh." Ron nodded.

Li Yang looked thoughtfully at Hagrid's departing back.

"Let's not talk about that, I'll go to Hagrid in the evening and ask for clarification, Harry, we should take Li Yang to see your cloak, and by the way, that magical mirror." As if showing off his baby, Ron said to Li Yang excitedly.

"Cloaks? A magical mirror? Li Yang knew what it was as soon as he heard it.

Cloak of Invisibility.

Mirror of Eris.

really

"This is the gift I received on Christmas Eve, that is, last night, there is no signature, I don't know who gave it, it is an invisibility cloak, as soon as I got the cloak, I went to the forbidden area of the library at night, I think I should be able to find out about Nicol Lemay, but I was almost bumped into by Filch, and accidentally entered a room where there was a magical mirror......"

Harry introduced the Invisibility Cloak as he introduced his adventures last night, and finally used the Invisibility Cloak to lead Yang and Ron through the forbidden book area to the Mirror of Eris.

It is a mirror set in an ornate solid gold frame, the height of a grown man, the bottom made in the shape of a claw, standing on the ground.

"When I looked in the mirror, I saw that I had become a prefect and won the championship with my Quidditch team, but cool, Harry saw his parents, Li Yang, what did you see again?" Ron asked curiously.

Li Yang stood in front of the magic mirror, endured the spoof of asking "Magic Mirror Magic Mirror, who is the most handsome person in the world", and looked into the mirror.

The Mirror of Eris reflects the strongest desires of the human heart.

Li Yang was also curious about what his heart's strongest desire was.

As a result, there was nothing in the mirror but himself......
