Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 243 Today's Fire is Burning
Charlie, who came back to his senses, restrained the impolite expression in his eyes as if Grandma Liu was visiting the Grand View Garden, turned around, smiled lightly, waved his hands, and said gently

"Actually, I've always wanted to visit Paris. Even if Headmaster Dumbledore didn't ask me, it won't take long for me to finish my work. I think I will come here again... It's just a matter of effort. .”

"By the way..." After saying this, Charlie seemed to suddenly remember something. He reached into his pocket, slowly took out the Philosopher's Stone carefully wrapped in parchment, and handed it to Pere In front of Nar Lemay.

"Now, let's return it to its original owner."

However, Perenal did not take the Philosopher's Stone from his hand, but folded his hands kindly in front of his body, smiled and shook his head slowly, and then turned around under Charlie's puzzled gaze. Turning his head, he cast his gaze in the direction of the stairs leading to the second floor of the stone building.

"Nico is in his study right now...he's been wanting to meet you for a long time. If possible, maybe you should go up there and hand the Philosopher's Stone into his hands."

Hearing this, Charlie was taken aback for a moment, and then the light in his eyes flickered again.He smiled, nodded to Perenal, put the Philosopher's Stone back into his wide pocket, and said briskly, "Okay."

..........................................

Walking up the wooden steps that have existed for an unknown period of time, even the patterns have become vaguely blurred. Every time you take a step, when you land on the steps, the brass candlesticks inlaid on the walls on the left and right will light up. Immediately, a layer of fine alchemy symbols emerged from the surface, followed by a soft "poof", and a soft orange flame was lit.

"—Every seemingly ordinary daily utensil here is actually made of alchemy items!!" Charlie exclaimed inexplicably in his mind.

From the door when I just entered the door, to the utensils on the first floor, the sofa and even the long table, and the lamps with flames that seem to be guiding me at this moment.No matter what it is, it is the product of alchemy.

Although Charlie had already made countless guesses in his heart before he came, what would Nicole Flamel's house look like.But when it really came and saw it with my own eyes, I was still impressed by the other party's "rich and powerful".

You must know that although there are many magic item shops in the magic world, in fact, there is an essential gap between those magic items and alchemy items.Whether it is the stability of its structure, or the adaptability and precision far beyond magic items, it is destined to be precious and rare.

Even the most luxurious residence he had seen before - "Malfoy's Mansion" only used exquisite ordinary utensils, and did not add alchemy items to every corner of the home.And now in Nicole Flamel's stone building, it can be said that his knowledge has been abruptly raised to a higher level.

Although this is said, it is unexpectedly reasonable when you think about it carefully.After all, this is in the home of the most outstanding alchemy master in the world. Perhaps what seems to be a precious artifact in the eyes of ordinary people, in his hands, it is just a toy that can be saved at will in just a few hours!
Thinking of this, Charlie couldn't help but lower his head inexplicably, and secretly took out the alchemy item given to him by the other party in another pocket, and fiddled with it meaninglessly in his hand twice.

Did Headmaster Dumbledore tell me how long it took Nico Flamel to make it?

Two hours, or three hours... Maybe I should find a chance later and ask him personally...

Thinking in a mess in his mind, when he suddenly came back to his senses, he had already stepped onto the second floor of the stone building.

He shook his head, forcing himself to suppress all those weird thoughts and things that came up in his mind for no reason, in case some of his unintentional small actions would offend this legendary person whom he met for the first time .

After everything was ready, he mustered up the courage, thinking about the floor on the second floor, and took the first step...

"Squeak... squeak..."

The floor, which had been in disrepair for a long time, seemed to be a little warped, and Charlie groaned slightly when he stepped on it.

On a green sofa not far away, a thin old man with white hair was wearing glasses, holding a big thick book in his arms, with his back turned to Charlie, and he was looking intently at the direction of the stove. .

Hearing the sound of the floor behind him, he didn't raise his head, but said something later

"Is my little daisy tea ready, dear?"

However, his question was not answered. Charlie pursed his lips and was thinking about how to speak first. Suddenly, Nicole Flamel, who was still reading a book with his back turned to him, seemed to notice something, and slowly raised his head. Take your attention away from the book.

Immediately afterwards, the emaciated body that was originally curled up began to stretch.He closed the big thick book and gently placed it on the coffee table beside him. In the next second, the coffee table seemed to be alive, and the four legs made of unknown metal began to soften, like an obedient dog. Like a small animal, the hunchback carried the book and ran towards the bookshelf.Then, under Charlie's watchful eyes, he flexibly used his four legs and placed it firmly on it. After everything was done, he returned to Nicole Flamel's side again, motionless, and became An unremarkable coffee table.

And Nicole Flamel leaned on the armrest of the sofa with his hands, and slowly stood up.He moved his steps gently and turned around bit by bit, gradually revealing a face full of furrows and wrinkles, yet elegant and calm.

The pair of deeply sunken eyes widened slightly at this moment, with a strange light shining in their eyes, and they looked at Charlie's indigo blue eyes.

Charlie was a little distracted by the wise eyes, and after a moment of trance, he remembered to introduce himself to the person in front of him.

"Uh...It's an honor to meet you, Master Nicole Flamel. My name is..."

However, before he finished speaking, Nicole Flamel on the opposite side had already said Charlie's name

"Charlie Black, you are the student of Albus, right?"

Nicole Flamel laughed, and the wrinkles representing the years became deeper with his smile.

And Charlie didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to forcefully stop what he hadn't finished speaking, and nodded a little helplessly.

Nicole Flamel's smile was a little brighter. This feeling was very familiar, just like the pure childlike smile that Charlie could often see on Principal Dumbledore's face in the past.

"Come on, come and sit, come and enjoy the fire, the fire is burning hot today."
