Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

Rushing into the campus hospital, Stone saw Hermione lying on the bed.

She still maintained her appearance before she was petrified, holding the cage, but she just missed escaping.

Looking at her frightened eyes, anger filled Stone's chest.

His breathing was up and down, and there was only one sound left in his ears, the blood hitting his temples, and the buzzing sound that kept stirring.

"She's okay...just petrified...wake up, Stone!"

Blood red filled Stone's crystal pupils. Seeing this, Penello kept shaking his shoulders, fearing that he would become angry and do something irrational.

Under the shaking, Stone's mind gradually returned.

"Huh-" He took a long breath, "Yeah, I know."

He said no more, and the blood-redness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of calmness, a calmness beneath extreme anger and annoyance.

She shouldn't have been left to investigate on her own, she shouldn't have been able to just sit back and relax after handing over the cage to her, she shouldn't have...

Eventually, these thoughts gathered together and turned into one idea.

Who did it?

After thinking quickly, Stone came up with the idea of ​​having fun in the alchemy room.

Every time I see Luna, something bad happens.

Is it Luna?

Stone glanced at Luna who was following.

After Luna saw Stone's eyes, she couldn't help but take a few steps back. In her impression, Stone was a man who was occasionally funny, most of the time peaceful, and very talented. This was the first time she saw such a cold, emotionless look in his eyes.

Do you doubt me?

she thinks.

Just when he was about to say something, Stone's eyes left.

Not Luna.

Although she is involved in every accident, what is even more suspicious is another girl - Ginny.

The first abnormality was when watching Quidditch. Luna returned alone and said that Ginny was sick. Colin Creevey was killed the next day.

The second time was when Luna arrived at the Duel Club and Ginny felt uncomfortable again. That time it was Justin Finch-Fletchley.

And this morning, Luna returned to the alchemy room for the first time in two months. Needless to say, it must be because of Ginny.

...How could a wizard get so many illnesses and get sick so coincidentally?

"call--"

After clearing the messy information in his mind, Stone gently picked up the cage and took it off Hermione's neck.

The reputation of the Weasley family is still guaranteed. Ginny may not be the heir, but the basilisk must be a part of the culprit.

Cut up the snake and make some potion for Hermione to drink!

Stone stood up, stroking the blue crystal ring on his left hand. Just as he was about to leave, Harry and Ron rushed in. Harry was still wearing Gryffindor's Quidditch uniform.

Looking at Hermione who was petrified for the sake of investigation, Harry also showed regret and pain in his eyes.

"We have to go find Hagrid." He glanced at Stone, "Come with us."

"Well, you go first, I have to go find Ginny Weasley."

Hagrid's suspicion was still there, so he would first go to Ginny Weasley to confirm the situation. If her suspicion could be ruled out, it would not be too late to use the cage to find them.

"Ginny?" Ron frowned and asked loudly, "You don't doubt her, do you? She is my sister, and I'm sure she wouldn't do such a thing."

"To shut up."

Looking at Stone's angry eyes, Ron decisively chose to shut up.

At this time, Stone looked at Luna:

"Come with me. You're a girl. It's easier to enter the girls' dormitory."

"Okay." Luna stepped to follow, and as she passed Harry, she asked, "What is your password today?"

"Dragon scum..."

"Ah."

Luna turned her head and followed Stone.

After ensuring that Hermione's injuries were not serious, the two also walked towards the path to Hagrid's hut.

... ...

At the door of Gryffindor, after saying the password, Luna entered their common room.

After about five minutes, she came out and said:

"She's not here, not since last night."

"Yeah." Stone nodded, "Go back."

"I can help..."

"Go back," Stone interrupted.

"Okay." Luna nodded wordlessly and walked back to Ravenclaw.

After Luna left, Stone touched the cage.

Not to Hagrid's hut, but to the Headmaster's office.

He didn't know what Dumbledore knew, but there was no doubt that he knew more than he knew.

I don't care if you want to train Harry Potter or if you really don't know what to do, but since you've hurt Hermione, you have to give an explanation, or at the very least, share the news.

With this idea in mind, Stone came to the spiral staircase in the principal's office.

But there was no response.

"The principal is not here," said a passing senior, "I saw Minister Fudge coming, and they went out together."

"Well, thank you."

"Ah."

The Ravenclaw senior walked away again holding the book.

After glancing around, Stone touched his cage.

Between alchemy, accompanying Hermione, thinking about problems, and looking for Ginny Weasley, I didn't even have time to eat lunch, and it was already afternoon.

The silver light dispersed, and wherever he looked, Stone saw the figure moving in the window of Hagrid's hut.

There were four or five of them, and I didn't know who they were, but judging from their body shapes, they were definitely not Harry and Ron. Stone crouched down and hid.

After a while, when the sun gradually moved away and approached the horizon, those figures came out.

They were all acquaintances, Dumbledore, Hagrid, Cornelius Fudge, and Lucius Malfoy.

Stone's brain was spinning rapidly.

The matter of the Chamber of Secrets has spread outside the school. Both Durmstrang and Wagadu know that the local wizarding world will only become more excited. Now there is another 'case'. It seems that Hagrid did play the role fifty years ago. He had a certain identity, so much so that Fudge came to arrest him.

As the principal, Dumbledore must accompany him.

So...what's Lucius Malfoy here for? A staunch supporter of blood theory couldn't be here to care about the Muggle-born students who were attacked, right?

At this time, the four people walked on the path leading to Hogwarts Castle. Stone stopped thinking and leaned down.

While watching them, Stone saw Dumbledore's eyes glancing this way, with a faint smile on his lips.

"..."

I noticed it, but pretended not to see it.

What do you mean?

Puzzled.

When the four of them walked away and were about to leave, the door of the hut was opened again, and two figures came out.

Were they hiding inside all this time?
