HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world
Chapter 36 Nicolas Flamel (1)
What Dumbledore didn't expect was that Jian Yu asked to go to the Muggle streets first.
She wanted to buy some gifts for this alchemist who had lived for more than six hundred years.
Obviously beauty potions are not a suitable gift for someone of this age.
So she had some special plans.
A few hours later, Dumbledore stared in amazement at the Nintendo Game Boy she had spent so much money on.
He knew that this was a Muggle entertainment product... called a game console?
He tactfully reminded Jian Yu:
"Although Nico and Perenelle are not opposed to Muggle items, perhaps this... uh... game console... would be more suitable for teenage wizards to play."
But Jian Yu shook his head mysteriously.
She thinks she has considered it more carefully:
First, her savior lived for more than 600 years and had seen everything he should and shouldn't have seen. Therefore, his life was boring and he was going to die. But she didn't want him to die, so she could only use the game console to add some fun to his boring life;
Secondly, if the gift was rejected, she could take it back and play with it herself. After all, the wizarding world lacked entertainment except Quidditch, wizard chess and some novels. God knows she had lived without a mobile phone for a whole year, and she was almost going crazy!
Seeing that persuasion was futile, Dumbledore walked into the fireplace with Jian Yu, full of doubts.
They were going to travel via the Floo Network to France, where the Flamels lived in seclusion.
He had already thought of the first step in teaching her, which was to let the Flamels convey to her the correct view of life and death, to prevent the emergence of another Dark Lord No. 3 like Voldemort who tried to transcend death.
The Flamels received them warmly.
"I saw you coming from the crystal ball." The silver-haired old man, who walked shakily, smiled and said, "Please forgive me for not laughing too much. After all, my bones are crackling."
His wife, Perenelle Flamel, had prepared lunch, but it looked tasteless and unappetizing.
The old woman looked exactly like Nicolas Flamel, skinny and with silver hair tied into a bun on the back of her head. When she smiled, her eyes were kind:
"Welcome, children." She waved her hand gently, and the plates were placed on the table. "I prepared dinner for you, but unfortunately, the taste is not satisfactory. After all, we haven't eaten for many years. I almost forgot the spell to bake apple pie."
Jian Yu almost laughed out loud. Even Dumbledore, who was over a hundred years old, was just a child in front of the Flamel couple - this gave her a wonderful feeling.
The four people greeted each other and sat down at the table.
Jian Yu took out the souvenirs he had brought and gave them to the two elderly people.
"Thank you, child, you are so thoughtful." Madame Flamel took it, leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek. "Let me see what this lovely thing is...Nintendo Game Boy?"
This gift was beyond her imagination. Even though she had lived for more than six hundred years, she could not understand what it was.
Nicolas Flamel came over and stared at the small machine with his wife.
"This is a kind of...Muggle entertainment." Dumbledore touched his nose and explained awkwardly.
"Not bad, I feel like I have the feeling of curiosity again." Nico praised, and then put away the game console, "But the most urgent thing is for us to enjoy this feast first."
During the toast, Nico asked Jian Yu how she felt after absorbing the Philosopher's Stone:
"Albus told me that the Philosopher's Stone disappeared as soon as it touched your body. Did you feel anything while you were in a coma?"
Jian Yu wanted to answer, but found that he seemed to be locked in the throat, with his tongue and palate stuck together.
"I came to a forest and encountered——"
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't tell anyone about Merlin and the Philosopher's Stone, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
But Nicolas Flamel showed a look of sudden enlightenment and signaled her to stop exerting force:
"It seems that you have violated the law, which is why you are subject to such restrictions."
"Congratulations, kid, it's a blessing in disguise."
He cast a few unknown spells on Jian Yu, and Jian Yu noticed that he didn't even need to use a wand.
"The connection between the soul and the body is still not very close. I'm afraid I'll have to take the soul stabilizer for a while."
a bolt from the blue!
She felt like she was being marinated by Snape's potion!
She instantly became completely depressed.
But she suddenly remembered what Dumbledore said, that this legendary alchemist relied on the Philosopher's Stone to prolong his life.
"You... gave me the Philosopher's Stone. What are you going to do?"
Dumbledore was delighted, feeling that the child had finally gotten to the point.
So he winked wildly at the Flamels, signaling them to talk about the correct view of life and death.
After receiving Dumbledore's signal, Nico began to talk nonstop, just as they had agreed:
"Oh—yes—we shall die."
Seeing the guilty expression on Jian Yu's face, he smiled indifferently:
"You are still young, child, and do not understand the value of death."
“For us, death is actually like finally going to bed after a long day.”
"I have lived for more than six hundred years, and all my memories are of separation and death. Infinite life and endless wealth can no longer bring me happiness. I live in seclusion here just to do academic research and do things that are more beneficial to wizards."
He shook his head, smiled, held his wife's hand, and concluded:
"Eternal life is a curse, death is a release."
Dinner is over.
Mr. and Mrs. Flamel were happy to invite Dumbledore and Jane to stay here.
"Please stay a little longer, Albus, Jade!" they said sincerely, "Keep us two old people company!"
When they heard that Jian Yu came from an orphanage, their eyes became even more kind and loving:
"Good girl, why don't you stay here this summer?" Perenelle stroked her head with his withered hand. "To be honest, I'd rather see a young man like you who is full of energy than to face an old man every day—"
Nico glared at her, but he also hoped that Jian Yu could spend her summer vacation here.
"I thought we could test the strength of your soul after absorbing the Philosopher's Stone."
Jian Yu couldn't refuse the request of her saviors.
The Flamels cleared out a small attic as Jane Yu's room.
Lying in bed, smelling the scent of sunshine on the soft and fluffy bedding, she soon fell asleep.
Mr. and Mrs. Flamel looked up enviously in the direction of her room.
"It's great to be young, just fall asleep."
......
The guests have gone to bed.
The Flamels looked at each other and became bored again.
At their age, they hardly need sleep or food, so the night is the most difficult time.
But today Nico seemed to have thought of something.
“Nintendo!”
His wife was startled by his loud voice and hit him with her cane in dissatisfaction.
But Nico took out the game console from the cabinet with trembling hands and studied it with the serious attitude as if he were studying alchemy.
"I don't feel the joy flowing in... What do you think, Per?"
His wife shook her head: "Nico, I have to remind you that this is a Muggle item. If you hold it in your hand, no magic will flow into your body."
Nico nodded, thinking that what his wife said made sense.
"Tendo means wings, but I still don't understand why Nin is added in front of it." He muttered, "Muggles have strange ideas, I often can't understand them."
He was fiddling with the game console and pressed a button, but suddenly the screen started moving!
