Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 47 I've seen him before!

It is not easy to make a magic mark.

Harry tried for a long time in the Room of Requirement, but to no avail.

On the contrary, Hermione and Ron were torturing the training dummy with the Expelliarmus weapon, and they looked very happy.

But Harry also noticed a problem, Ron's talent was actually quite good, but because the wand was not compatible with him, he had half the result with twice the effort when learning spells.

Harry only agreed with half of what Ollivander said - aren't wizards and wands a two-way choice?

It's time to think of a way to get Ron to change his wand, Harry thought, considering Ron's family situation, if his family could come up with enough money, they wouldn't let him use Charlie's old wand.

Why not give him one, Harry decided, but he was afraid that giving a wand directly would hurt his friend's self-esteem.

We should find a suitable solution, he thought.

When Ron and Hermione came out of the Room of Requirement, they still felt a little reluctant to leave.

Children all like new things and have an instinctive desire to destroy them, and these two are no exception.

How could they not be fascinated by being able to cast spells freely and freely?
"Good! Very well done! Two points for Gryffindor!"

In the Charms class, Professor Flitwick clapped his hands happily and praised Ron's spell skills.

Because he was the first student in the class to use the levitation spell to control something other than feathers to fly, as evidenced by the desk in front of Professor Flitwick.

Although the desk only lasted for a short moment before falling down, it did not stop Professor Flitwick from offering encouragement.

"Harry! Harry! I did it!" said Ron joyfully, shaking Harry's arm.

Hermione shook her head helplessly and applauded Ron.

She would have been able to reach this level long ago.

It was just that Harry told her privately that she should give Ron some opportunities to perform and not steal all the extra points, so she was not so eager to show herself in the Charms class.

The classmates around him just thought that Ron was celebrating with his friends. No one expected that Ron's rapid improvement in spell skills was inseparable from Harry's careful guidance.

The three of them would visit Hagrid's hut every Friday, and Harry would always take the rock pie without hesitation amid the accusing gazes of his two friends.

"Try it, and eat it after it's softened." Harry said to the two of them, "I tried it last time when I had a toothache, and it was really good - Hagrid, could you break it into small pieces for us, please?"

"Of course, Harry." Hagrid picked up the rock cake with a smile and carefully broke it into small pieces for the three children.

He also realized that a normal human child's teeth were not capable of chewing rock cakes properly, so to thank Harry for his thoughtfulness, he smiled at Harry and made him and his two companions a cup of honey water.

"Hoo..." Harry took a sip and said to Hagrid with a sense of surviving a disaster, "You know, Hagrid, this is lemonade. The one I drank in the headmaster's office a few days ago... should be called lemon syrup."

"You went to the headmaster's office?" Hagrid patted his beard. "Dumbledore is a very nice person, isn't he? He likes sweets, as we all know. Professor McGonagall always puts away his candies, but it seems to be of no use. Most of the tooth-health potion brewed by Professor Snape is consumed by him."

At this point, Hagrid put his hand to his mouth and whispered in front of the three little ones.

Seeing that Hagrid wanted to whisper something, the three of them also went up to him.

"Professor Snape suggested that the tooth-health potion should be put on the account of the school board, but Professor Dumbledore refused."

Hermione twisted her eyebrows together and said helplessly, "Hagrid, you don't understand what Professor Snape is saying, do you?"

Hagrid then let out an "Ah" as if he suddenly realized something, held up a finger, and asked uncertainly, "Is it sarcasm?" "Yes." The three of them nodded together.

"Oh, oh!" Hagrid scratched his head: "I was wondering why Professor Snape would say that, haha..."

"Oh, Hagrid," Harry suddenly asked, "since you mentioned Professor Snape, it suddenly occurred to me that I saw Professor Snape after Halloween. His leg seemed to be injured, and Filch was applying medicine to him at the time. I heard him say that it seemed that a three-headed animal bit him. I know you are an expert on magical creatures, so I thought of asking you for advice."

"Oh, how can I be called a magical biologist?" Hagrid scratched his head shyly, and said to Harry: "Maybe Professor Snape was bitten by Fluffy."

"Fluffy?" the three asked in unison.

"Yeah, I bought Fluffy from a Greek guy. It's a three-headed dog." Hagrid continued to add lemonade to the three of them. "This dog seems to have a problem. He will fall asleep when he hears music. But Professor Dumbledore borrowed it and placed it on the fourth floor. I really doubt whether he can watch over Nick Flamel..."

Having said this, Hagrid suddenly realized that he was speechless and covered his mouth with his hand.

"Nicholas Flamel?" The three looked at each other.

The name was enough, and Harry sat in the chair, his posture relaxed.

Hermione asked, "Who is Nick Flamel?"

"Oh no, little girl, this is Professor Dumbledore's secret." Hagrid stood up and began to see the guest off: "Sorry, I've said enough today. You still have classes tomorrow, right? It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

The three had no choice but to leave Hagrid's hut.

"Nick Flamel?" Ron muttered, "Why does this name sound so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere before."

"Yeah." Hermione also frowned: "I also remember this name, but I can't think of where I heard it."

"Harry, do you have any idea?" Ron asked Harry in return.

"You saw it today." Harry pulled out a Chocolate Frog card from inside his robes: "Here, I just happened to have it with me -"

Ron took the card and read the words on it: "Albus Dumbledore, current headmaster of Hogwarts, is recognized as the greatest wizard of our time."

"Dumbledore's well-known contributions include: defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and collaborating with Nicolas Flamel in alchemy... Yes! I know this person from the Chocolate Frog card - what does he do?"

"Doesn't it say that Nicolas Flamel should be an alchemist?" said Hermione.

"I read about it in a book," Harry said calmly. "Nicolas Flamel is over 600 years old and has lived from the 14th century to the present. It is said that he possesses a Philosopher's Stone, which has magical powers. It can turn stones into gold and make people immortal."

After hearing Harry's description, Hermione and Ron looked at each other and gasped.

Ron inhaled because of the magical effect of the Philosopher's Stone.

Hermione gasped at Harry's erudition.

"You know so much, Harry," said Hermione with some admiration.

Harry just smiled warmly, but in his heart he was thinking, I not only know Nicolas Flamel, I have also met him...

　In the American Harry Potter series, the stone's name was changed to "Sorcerer's Stone" (but in The Tales of Beedle the Bard, it was still called "Philosopher's Stone"). This may be because the publisher thought that American children were not so familiar with this alchemy-related object, and hoped to strengthen the connection between the first novel and magic by changing the name.

　　The Chinese version of the Harry Potter novel "Sorcerer's Stone" is a paraphrase of the American version of the novel. In English, "Philosopher's Stone" is generally translated as "Sorcerer's Stone".

　　JK Rowling did not invent the concept of the Philosopher's Stone. It is a legendary stone that was once believed to be real and was the true goal of alchemy. Rowling's Philosopher's Stone contains most of the properties mentioned by the ancients. In fact, "real" alchemists - pioneering chemists and physicists such as Isaac Newton and Nicolas Flamel - tried to discover the secret of making it during their lifetime.
