Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

Anyway, Stone was very happy to hear this. He nodded:

"That's good."

"Can you tell me your friend's name? We can just contact him ourselves."

"Axel Klum, at..."

When Stone was about to add detailed information, he noticed Carpunk's thoughtful eyes, so he changed his words:

"You know him?"

"It's not acquaintance," Carpunk said, "It's just that Xia Zuo has dealt with the Krum family."

‘Chazo’ means hunter in Old French, and here it is the name of a person, the purifier responsible for the assassination.

Judging from the usual chats with Axel, the Krum family is engaged in that kind of gray industry, so it is not surprising that they are connected.

In this case, there is no need to say anything more.

"Go contact him," Stone said. "Just say you're my friend."

"Don't dare."

"It's okay, Henning, it's just a title."

Skipping the surname and calling the first name, Carpunk's eyes flashed with excitement:

"Thank you, sir."

"Ah."

‘Sir’ is a good title. Stone nodded with satisfaction and turned off the hyperlink.

Then continue to strike.

At the same time, Gryffindor.

Looking at the severely damaged dormitory, Harry was stunned and hurriedly rushed to his bookcase.

...The diary is missing.

After a while, Hermione hurried over, and after learning the specific situation from Ron, she fell into deep thought.

After the bed was made and irrelevant people left, she said:

"I asked you to find Hagrid, have you been there?"

"Not yet." Ron replied sheepishly, "Hagrid is a friend..."

"I didn't let you question him." Hermione rolled her eyes, "Since Riddle mentioned Hagrid, it means that he has indeed experienced this incident, and maybe we can learn from him who the real heir is. "

"Ah."

It was Harry who spoke. He had just learned some information from the diary, and it was stolen in the blink of an eye. He really had to ask as soon as possible.

"We'll go after Quidditch tomorrow."

"What about you, aren't you going with us?" Ron asked.

"No, I'm going to investigate other things."

The whole thing can actually be divided into three important parts, the Basilisk, which they can basically confirm; the Heir, which needs to be checked through Hagrid; and what Hermione wants to check is the last one - the location of the Chamber of Secrets.

Regarding the secret room, although there were currently no definite clues, she had some doubts.

For example, in the bathroom on the second floor, the diary was found in the bathroom, and it was only because of the water coming out of the bathroom that Mrs. Norris was not killed directly.

Whether she confirms the answer or eliminates this option, she has to go there.

late at night.

Carefully getting up and taking a glance at her roommate, Hermione put on the cage, picked up a small mirror, and tiptoed out of the dormitory.

After looking around, she pushed open the door to the Gryffindor common room.

Unable to take the escalator and risking being blocked by Filch, Hermione could only walk to the second floor.

Every time she passed a corner, she would use a small mirror to observe it first.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

If you are less lucky, you can spot the basilisk in advance and touch the cage with your other hand.

Worst case scenario... being petrified, it's not like he can't be saved.

She will observe every corner for three minutes, and only after making sure it is safe, will she continue moving forward in the quiet darkness.

Step by step, level by level, Hermione stepped on the steps and finally reached the second floor.

The further down you go, the greater the danger, and you will reach the bathroom corridor at the next corner. Hermione leaned against the wall and listened carefully.

She didn't have Stone's hearing, but it was so quiet now that she could still hear any movement.

"Plop-plop-"

After taking a deep breath and calming her heart that was beating violently due to nervousness, Hermione stretched out the small mirror around the corner.

"hiss--"

She took a deep breath and subconsciously pressed her thumb.

The movement was very fast, but just when he was about to touch the cage, his thumb suddenly froze in the air.

In the reflection of the mirror, a pair of deadly yellow eyes were slowly turning away.

"boom!"

Hermione fell to the ground.

... ...

Early in the morning.

It was a weekend, but under the powerful biological clock, Stone woke up early and came to the alchemy room as soon as possible.

I stayed up all night yesterday and completed all the copper plates, and I will start designing the talisman today.

The first thing to design is the inner side, the core talisman engraved on the metal plate below, which is the key factor to expand the space.

In the books left by Nico Flamel, there is such a structure. All the runes are arranged in one direction, but they are not straight. Instead, they are bent at a certain node, rotated 180 degrees and then bent back. Connected to the beginning of the notation.

This is an original structure created by Nico Flamel. It is a shape that cannot be imagined by today's alchemists.

But it was familiar to Stone, who recognized it immediately after his Muggle upbringing.

One - Möbius strip.

In mathematics and philosophy it represents infinity and eternity respectively.

Coincidentally, the characteristics displayed in the structure of the rune are also these two points... And the hypercube Stone wants to make requires infinite space and an eternal state, so after seeing this When I read the talisman spectrum, I immediately fell in love with it.

However, in the runes, 'infinity' and 'eternity' are constant according to the intensity of magic. Theoretically, this Möbius strip can be connected with nine nine-rune runes, but Stone can't grasp it. , so... just do it together, it can be regarded as a self-breakthrough.

There is a problem in designing this structure, because runes are very regular characters and need to be deformed when they are bent, so Stone ensures that the deformed characters are also regular and can be connected smoothly.

Sitting at the workbench, he first drew a Möbius strip and played a word game...well, a real word game.

After just filling one ring, she was not satisfied and was about to start another one. Luna came to the alchemy room with the book in hand.

Stone's temples throbbed at the sight of her.

Recently, every time I see Luna, something bad happens, and I don’t know who the unlucky guy is this time.

It was just a wild thought. Stone shook his head, raised his chin at Luna, and continued to put his energy into the Möbius strip.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was another rapid knock on the door.

Luna put down the book and walked to open the door. This was the self-consciousness of a younger brother.

Penello was outside the door. When she saw Luna, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, which was immediately replaced by anxiety, and she shouted:

"Stone, come with me quickly, something happened!"
