Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 788
The day after Hogwarts finished its final exams, Hermione went to Tyella's office.

“Professor Tyella?” Hermione knocked playfully on the door, and before Tyella could respond, she pushed it open a crack and peeked into Tyella’s dark magic office.

“Ah, Hermione,” Tyella took off her glasses and looked at Hermione with affection. “Come in, even though you’re already inside.”

“Tierra, I’ve come to get the Philosopher’s Stone,” Hermione said, then walked in and sat down at the desk closest to Tierra’s.

Tiera's dark magic office is also her dark magic classroom. The women's restroom, which was originally the entrance to the secret chamber, was transformed by Tiera into a dark magic research laboratory and Tiera's own office.

“Of course.” Tierra took a small, brown leather pouch wrapped in gold thread from her drawer, placed it on her large desk, and then pushed it towards Hermione.

"Keep it safe," Tierra reminded her.

Hermione picked up the leather bundle and carefully untied the gold threads on it—

As the fabric gradually unfolded, the crimson light rapidly spread, forming shimmering ripples around it.

This light is warm and radiant, like a flame under the sun, captivating all who behold it.

Under the intense light streaming in from the window, the details inside the ruby ​​gradually became visible—

Inside the gemstone, there seems to be a miniature world, shimmering with wonderful and wondrous scenes. The captivating red, interwoven with gradient hues, forms a dazzling spectrum.

The surface of gemstones has tiny raised and recessed textures, which become more three-dimensional and vivid when illuminated by light.

Hermione stared blankly at the Philosopher's Stone. It wasn't until Thiers reached out and gently closed the package containing the stone that she understood.

This created a physical barrier between the Philosopher's Stone and Hermione.

"Is this...the real Philosopher's Stone?" Hermione asked, still somewhat bewildered.

Hermione was about to say, "This Philosopher's Stone is different."

But then he thought about it again and realized he had never actually seen a real magic stone, so he changed his question and asked, "Is this the real magic stone?"

“This is the true Philosopher's Stone, but not in the conventional sense,” Tiera explained. “The conventional Philosopher's Stone is a keyhole; it requires the diviner to use their material, spiritual, and mental dimensions as keys to open the door to the fourth divine dimension, and then return from that divine dimension.”

“Only then can you attain the complete divine dimension and become a divine being,” Tiera said. “But this magic stone…”

Tiera gently tapped the leather bag in Hermione's hand; the golden threads wrapped around the bag were like snakes, tightly binding it.

“This magic stone is not a keyhole to the divine dimension, but a large hole in the door,” Tiera said. “When I was crafting this magic stone, I used a bit of my omnipotence to poke a large hole in what was originally a keyhole in the door.”

"What does this mean?" Hermione asked curiously.

“This means that this Philosopher’s Stone is more effective when used to concoct elixirs of immortality or other magical potions, but,” Tiera said, “it cannot be used for the ritual of becoming a god.”
