Chapter 24: The Philosopher's Stone

"Congratulations, Harry." Nicks said to Harry at Hagrid's cabin.

Harry: "Thank you. ”

Ron blatantly spoke ill of Knicks, "Hagrid, you shouldn't have invited him, you know, his family is all Death Eaters." ”

Hagrid frowned, "Ron, let go, I didn't treat you badly because your brothers were bad, and you shouldn't be prejudiced just because he was Lestrange." ”

Hermione was angry, the Knicks had always been nice to her, and during that time of being ostracized, only the Knicks were her friends.

"Ron, if you do this to the Knicks, then Hagrid should treat you like your brothers, they caused Hagrid a lot of trouble."

Ron was even more upset, and changed the subject: "It was Snape who cast the spell on Harry's broom, and Hermione and I saw it. ”

Hagrid said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense, why would Snape do such a thing. ”

Harry: "He wanted to pass the big dog with three heads, and the dog bit him, and I saw Filch heal him." ”

Hagrid: "How do you know about Louwi?" ”

"Lou Wei?" The crowd exclaimed.

Hagrid: "Yes, it's mine, I bought it from Old Greece last year, and I lent it to Dumbledore's caretaker......"

He stopped, almost saying something important.

Nix: "Hagrid, Lou Wei is yours, can you help me?" ”

Hagrid: "Do what?" ”

Knicks: "I need some of Louwi's fur, flesh and bones. ”

Hagrid was shocked: "You're going to kill Lowe??" ”

Nicks reassured, "Hagrid, Lou Wei is so big, give me a little bit and nothing will happen, or I'll take it myself, then I'll have to fight it." ”

Seeing that the topic was off, Hermione interrupted both sides and said, "Knicks, you'll talk about it later." Hagrid, what is Lowe protecting? ”

"Don't ask, that's classified." Hagrid replied.

"But Snape wanted to steal it." Hermione argued.

Hagrid: "Snape is a Hogwarts professor and wouldn't do anything like that. ”

Hermione: "Then why did he want to kill Harry?" ”

Snape was saving people, he thought to himself. But if he wants to lock me up, let's take the blame.

"Hagrid, the curse must be cast on the target, I saw Hermione set fire to his cloak, he didn't react, he didn't put out the fire until someone reminded him, he didn't look at Harry, Harry was fine." ”

Hagrid was a little angry, and he said roughly, "I don't know why Harry's broom happened, but Snape would never kill a student." You're meddling in very dangerous things, listen to me, forget about Lowe, forget what he's guarding for, it's a ...... between Dumbledore and Nick Lemay"

"Aha," Harry said, "there's a Nick Lemay guy involved, isn't it?" ”

Hagrid sulked. He exposed something again.

Ron: "Who's that?" ”

Harry: "I've heard that name there. ”

Hermione: "I've read it, too, but I can't remember it. ”

Nix: "You're going to forget him?" ”

"Do you know who it is?" The three of them asked together.

Nicks: "Of course, that's the man every alchemist worships, and no one has been able to surpass him so far." ”

Hermione: "But you just like to make potions." ”

Nicks: "The Potions Master can't ignore him, he has the potions that the Potions Masters want." ”

Neville finally found what he understood, and interjected, "Elixir?" ”

Nicks: "No, the elixir is nothing, it's something rarer than the elixir, and I'm interested in it, even though I won't need it yet." ”

Hermione: "What is it?" ”

Nicks: "The elixir." ”

“???”

Seeing the question mark on everyone's faces, Nick explained: "Nick Lemay is an alchemist, he made the Philosopher's Stone, which can turn any substance into gold, and can also be used to prepare the elixir of life. ”

Ron was stunned: "Turn anything into gold!" ”

Nicks looked at Ron with disdain: "That's not important, it's just gold, as long as you live long enough, there will be a lot." The key is the elixir of life, with which you have an infinite lifespan. ”

Hermione: "I remember, he's the sole maker of the Philosopher's Stone, celebrated his 665th birthday last year, and lived in seclusion with his wife. ”

Harry: "A stone can make people immortal, and it can turn stone into gold, no wonder Snape wants it." No one can resist it. ”

Hagrid: "!!! "Can you just tell me the truth of the matter in front of me?

The trio discussed.

Nicks looked at Hagrid and said again, "Hagrid, give me some of Louwe's flesh and blood, I'll pay a high price." ”

Hagrid's attention was diverted: "I don't want to hurt Lowe. ”

Knicks: "Trust me, Hagrid, you wouldn't want to let me go on my own, then Lowe would be hurt even more. ”

Harry turned his head, "You can't threaten Hagrid with something he doesn't want to do. ”

Nix is upset, you're plotting loudly there, and I don't appreciate it for diverting Hagrid's attention from you!

"Harry, you reminded me, Hagrid, if you don't give it to me, I'll tell the Headmaster about your leaking of secrets."

Hermione screamed, "Nicks!! ”

Ron smirked, "Look, I knew he and Malfoy were the same. ”

Harry was mired in self-blame, and if he hadn't reminded the Knicks, Hagrid wouldn't have been threatened.

Hagrid: "You're kidding, aren't you?" ”

Nicks said in a depressed tone, "Yes, I still have to rely on you to help collect the medicinal herbs in the Forbidden Forest, and I won't let the headmaster know, then I will have to deal with a new hunting ground guard." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hagrid replied firmly, "I won't give you Louwe's flesh and blood, I don't want to hurt it." ”

Nicks: "It's okay to draw blood, a little blood won't make it any good, and it doesn't even need treatment." ”

Hagrid pondered. Ron began to instill in Hagrid something about cursing through blood.

Nix listened to it, his expression remained the same, and he had already decided in his heart that he would give Ron a monster potion, so that he would be inspired to be high, and he would talk nonsense, and it would be better to be isolated as a madman.

Hagrid agreed to the Knicks' request, but he needed time.

Knicks: "Hagrid, I'm paying a lot of money to the Weasley brothers, it's dangerous for them to enter the Forbidden Forest, but maybe not that much for you." ”

Hagrid: "It's okay, I've got enough gold galleons to spend. As long as the twins don't come, I'm happy. ”

In the end, the five left together. The Gryffindor common room was still having a feast for Harry's victory, and they were going back to attend.
