Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

"Fluorescent flashes."

The silver-white light of the stars and the moon was enough to illuminate the road, but in the shadow of the stone pillars, everyone pulled out their wands in unison.

The six gleaming white lights were like six beacons. Several people met quietly and walked under the moonlight.

"The sky here is so beautiful."

At some point, Ron had looked up to the sky, staring blankly at the starry moon night above his head.

Hearing his words, the others also raised their heads.

Indeed, the stars shine together, not to mention London, even the unpolluted Surrey, and even Hogwarts. If there are stars above their heads, then this is really the Milky Way.

"Hi~ normal."

Half humble, half complacent, Memphis had a faint smile on his face.

"Let's go."

Her words brought several people back to reality. When she lowered her head, Stone saw that she had taken out the charm called 'Tracking Cat'.

Is it finally going to be shown? Stone thought, curiosity in his eyes.

Then, he saw Memphis flipping the talisman and placing it on his thumb. Then with a flick, the talisman flipped and flew up.

Under the moonlight, the talisman reflected sparkling silver light. When the talisman reached its peak and was about to fall, the light became extremely powerful.

The silver dazzling light forced Stone to cover his eyes with his hands.

Through the gaps between the fingers, one can see that the light gradually converges and falls rapidly.

However, he did not hear the expected tinkling sound of silver coins falling to the ground, but instead...

"Meow~"

喵？

Stone quickly removed his palm.

In front of him, on the ground between the six of them, a silver cat with a tranquil light was licking the palm of his hand.

It has a slender body and a cold face that seems to have charm, unknowingly attracting everyone's attention.

Charm?

Stone patted himself on the head.

You must have had too many bad dreams, why does the cat look so pretty?

At this time, the protagonist of the dream, Hermione, had knelt down, quietly stretched out her hand, and touched the tracking cat's ear.

Finally, she tapped the tip of its ear, and the tracking cat didn't resist. Instead, it narrowed its eyes, got into Hermione's palm, and rubbed comfortably.

This undoubtedly won Hermione's favor. She looked at Stone and showed a sweet smile.

"What a cute cat."

"Meow~"

The tracking cat seemed to feel something, and meowed sweetly.

Doesn't look like a serious cat!

Stone thought.

But the next moment, he saw the cat suddenly open its eyes and look in Ron's direction like a furry hair.

"Meow!"

"Zhizhizhizhi——"

"This is my mouse, a pet!"

When Stone looked over, Ron had already covered his pockets, which were bulging.

Oh - it's the mouse named Spot.

Stone suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

It's normal for mice to be afraid of cats, but your alchemy cat will explode when it sees a mouse? Hahahaha~

There is a discipline in classical alchemy called the Alchemy of Life. In addition, this cat was created by Nico Flamel, so it is not difficult to determine its identity.

He is indeed a top alchemist.

A cage, he is not qualified to study it yet.

Here comes Life Alchemy, which is also the most high-end academic category in classical alchemy, not much worse than the Philosopher's Stone!

"Okay, tracking cat." Memphis reassured, "It's just a mouse, we still have business to do."

Hearing the owner's voice, the tracking cat looked at Ron hesitantly. To be precise, after taking a look at his pocket, the tracking cat slumped its arched back.

"Meow~"

After rubbing against Hermione's hand again, it turned forward and started running.

Six people holding fluorescent lights followed closely behind.

After passing through the stone pillar forest and the gate tower, the tracking cat came to the sacrificial hall again.

"Here again."

Looking at the tracking cat parked in front of the altar, Memphis felt helpless, but quickly cheered up and said:

"Let's look for it together. After all, it's night and there may be something different."

No one was surprised by this result, it was already agreed when they came.

Except for some faint moonlight at the door, the sacrificial hall is a completely black space, and the fluorescent light is like a few small dots here.

It was too difficult to find something in this environment, so Stone waved his wand.

"Lumos Max!"

In an instant, the cold light illuminated the entire sacrificial hall... it was brighter than during the day.

Everyone followed suit and dispersed to look for clues.

Decryption games are Hermione's favorite type. In the mystery novels she has read, key clues are often hidden in two places, the most inconspicuous or the most conspicuous places.

In the sacrificial temple, there are many inconspicuous locations, such as empty corners, supporting stone pillars, murals covering the hall, and so on.

There is only one conspicuous place, the central altar.

So, while everyone else was poring over the murals, she went straight to the altar.

This is an attraction and no worship or other rituals are allowed. The altar and its surroundings are cleaned very clean.

Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but smile confidently.

The surface of the altar was very clean, and neither lighting nor trace magic had any effect; the bottom of the altar was empty. She knocked on the stone bricks and found that the bottom was also hollow; nothing was found on the sides.

"Is it behind?"

There was no reason not to be here, Hermione frowned and walked around behind the altar.

However, reality soon gave her a heavy blow.

Nothing was found. Various physical and magical methods were tried. There was nothing abnormal without destroying the ruins.

"...It shouldn't be."

From the beginning to now, more than half an hour has passed. If others find something abnormal, forget it, but if there is no problem elsewhere, the clue should be pointing here!

This is the experience brought by countless mystery novels!

She thought and slowly walked out from behind the altar.

Suddenly, the moonlight flashing through the door attracted her attention.

When I first came in, the moonlight was still lingering outside the door, but at this time, the moonlight had already crossed the threshold, and was facing the entrance. There were no shadows beside the two doors.

Have to look carefully.

She moved slowly, facing the door, and put away the fluorescent flash.

The moment she put away the fluorescent light, she seemed to notice another cool light.

Is it someone else's fluorescent flicker?

No! no!

This light was emitted from in front of the altar. Their angle was wrong. Even if there was light escaping, it would not be so strong.

Suddenly, she realized something and shouted:

"Extinguish your wands!"
