A Hogwarts dissertation guide

"But fate will always break one day." Nick said lightly. He looked at his wife calmly, as if nothing was different, but Perenal keenly caught the flaw.

"Did you foresee something?"

Nick turned his head slightly and looked away from Perenal, "I didn't see anything."

"You're still very bad at lying." Perenal hugged his shoulders, "It's already this time, and you still plan to hide it from me?"

"The future is unchangeable, and knowing the future is a very painful thing." Nick pursed his lips, "It is the most painful thing to give people hope and then burst it."

"But it's better than not knowing anything." Perenal said softly, "Don't you want to give him any hope?"

Nick was silent for a while and said, "I can't give you hope."

"Let this be the last thing we do for Edward, can't we?" Perenal begged. Women are always emotional. At the end of her life, she doesn't want to see her friends encounter any mishaps again - especially... Under the premise that Nick is hiding it like this.

But Nick just shook his head, "I will take this secret to my grave."

"You'd better hope Edward doesn't pry your grave open!" said Perenal grumpily.

Nick also smiled, "Then I will definitely let them bury us together."

"Who wants to be buried with you? I want to be buried under the most beautiful flowers in the manor."

"I also want!"

......

......

In the next few days, the three of them tacitly agreed not to mention the Sorcerer's Stone or death. They spent Christmas together. Some of Nick's descendants wanted to visit, but Nick rejected them one by one: "I I don’t want you to mess up my last Christmas.”

"Then we'll see you later." Edward stood at the door of the manor and waved to the two of them.

Nick and Perenal smiled and waved their hands, "Of course, we won't die until at least 1993!"

"Then you have really saved a lot of elixir." Edward complained ruthlessly.

Nick and Perenal looked at each other and laughed, "We have to set aside time to prepare everything, right?"

"Of course." Edward felt the same way. He waved at the two of them again, and the door key in his hand burst into dazzling blue light and then disappeared.

Edward came back the day before school started. In addition to him, the students also returned to school on this day.The weather has begun to get warmer, and the Quidditch team's training has also begun. They can be seen training on the tower.

"Teacher, do you know Nick Flamel?" Hermione ran to Edward's office on the first day she came back.

Edward put down his quill and adjusted the auto-correcting monocle on the bridge of his nose, "Why did you suddenly think of this question?"

"I saw this name by chance, but I can't think of where I've seen it before." Hermione said with embarrassment, lowering her head.

"Oh, he is a good friend of mine. We have known each other for a long time," Edward nodded and said lightly, "We spent this Christmas together."

"You know him?"

"That's weird?"

"Because we didn't find this name in many books, we thought he was some unknown person." Hermione played with the oil lamp in her hand, which was still emitting warmth.

"Not famous?" Edward frowned, "What books have you read?"

"Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft", "Great Wizards of the Twentieth Century", "List of Famous Contemporary Magicians"..."

"Haha, Hermione, you are looking in the wrong direction. In fact, it would be a miracle if you could find Nick's name in these books." Edward couldn't help laughing. This disciple of his is so cute and stupid. .

Nick is 665 years old. He has disappeared for nearly a hundred years. It is a miracle that a modern book in the wizarding world includes him!

"So, can you tell me who Nick really is?" Hermione asked. "We're very curious about him and Dumbledore -"

"us?"

"I mean me," Hermione corrected.

Edward thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he cleared his throat and said, "Nick is my good friend. He is an alchemist. He is very famous, but that was in the 14th century. At that time , he is the most powerful wizard in England."

"The 14th century!" Hermione gasped, "No wonder we can't find Flamel in "The Research and Development of Modern Witchcraft"."

"Yes, since he is already 665 years old, he obviously cannot be considered a modern person." Edward tilted his head and looked at Hermione. He suddenly felt that teasing his little disciple was quite interesting. At least it was better than being controlled by Legilimency. Lockhart is interesting.

Lockhart has become even more annoying since being controlled by the Imperius Curse.

Edward suddenly missed Lockhart's bad mouth. At least it could help him pass some boring time.

"I seem to remember where I've seen him before!" Hermione screamed. "He's the only maker of the Philosopher's Stone!"

"Not entirely, I helped him a lot." Edward frowned. He still remembered the scene when the two of them were working on making the Philosopher's Stone together. "Without me, he probably wouldn't have been able to complete the Philosopher's Stone before he died. "

"You mean you have also lived for more than 600 years?" Hermione couldn't help but exclaimed. She had imagined that Edward would be very old, but she never thought that he could surpass Dumbledore - she thought that Edward would be older at most. 6. 70 years old!

Although Edward had previously said that he was older than Dumbledore, Hermione took it as a joke!

"Is this a rare thing?" Edward asked, "Well, it is indeed a difficult thing for ordinary people to understand."

"Normal Muggles only have a lifespan of 70 to 80 years!" Hermione exclaimed, her voice completely uncontrollable.

"I have a unique maintenance method." Edward said calmly, "You'd better calm down, lest I throw you out directly."

"Okay, I'm sorry, teacher, I really can't accept such a shocking thing!" Hermione took several deep breaths, unable to calm herself down.

But soon, she realized a new problem.

"So, you also use the magic stone?"

"No, I have a better way."

"Can I do it too?"

"It's difficult, but not impossible." Edward glanced at Hermione up and down, "But it's not difficult to help you extend your life to 200 years old. As long as you are willing to study hard with me, I have plenty of ways to help you."

"I am willing!"

Hermione said eagerly that although at the age of 11 she did not have a deep understanding of death, immortality was always the most desired thing for human beings.
