Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 138 The Essence of Alchemy

Chapter 138 The Essence of Alchemy
Hermione is really too smart.

Moon felt that in the future, he should try to avoid looking for Hermione for such things.

But Moon knew very few people in the Muggle world, and he couldn't leave school at will, which made him a little worried.

"Who should I look for?"

Moon thought back to all the Muggles he knew.

Then the image of a fat uncle working in a zoo suddenly popped into my mind.

"Maybe I can ask Uncle Gaia during the holidays. I can also visit him."

Moon decided that he had to find someone in the Muggle world who could help with the chores.

Especially now that he has probably awakened the ability to carry items back to the Scarlet Moon, he needs such a person even more.

"You haven't told me yet, where is your home?"

Hermione, who was sitting on a bench in the auditorium, continued to ask questions.

"By the way, do you know anything about alchemy?"

Moon did not respond to the curious little witch, but quickly changed the subject.

"Alchemy? This is much more difficult than the [Iron Armor Spell] you just saw."

Ron was eating a bowl of fragrant Hagrid's puff pastry, but after hearing about alchemy, he put down his spoon and looked over.

As the wizard recognized as the "most knowledgeable" in the entire dormitory.

Ron was very happy to answer questions that other students didn't know, which satisfied his strange vanity.

"Do you know why this course is only offered in sixth grade? It's because it's difficult enough, and most students don't choose it."

Moon now realized that in order to successfully divert the topic of Hermione, all he needed was Ron.

But in order to ensure that the topic could continue, Moon had no choice but to continue chatting with Ron.

"I remember the alchemy professor at the school seemed to be from the Ollivander family."

"Yes, Dylan Ollivander. I think in the British wizarding world, only his family still has some alchemical skills."

After Ron finished speaking, he was about to take another bite of the pancake, but he suddenly reacted and looked at Moon.

"Moon, maybe you're really suited to learning alchemy. Haven't you already made a magic wand?"

"Does a wand count as alchemy?"

Moon asked curiously.

"It should be considered. After all, both of these things are difficult."

Whenever it came to specific magical questions, Ron's answers were always ambiguous.

Hermione was originally very angry that Moon changed the subject, but after hearing Ron's explanation, she couldn't wait to correct him.

"The difficulty is alchemy! What kind of logic is that, Ron."

"Isn't it? These two things are really difficult!"

After Ron finished speaking, he looked at Harry, Seamus, and Neville for help.

The three little wizards nodded in response without hesitation.

"Not at all!"

After Hermione speechlessly refuted several classmates, she looked at Moon helplessly.

"A wand is just a magical tool. It's the tool a magician uses to guide and focus their magic. Alchemy, on the other hand, focuses on creation and change. They're not the same level of difficulty at all."

“Creation and change?”

After hearing Hermione's explanation, Moon couldn't help but think about it.

Wand Moon was made.

After the creation of this magical device, it did not create or change anything.

Its main function is to enable wizards to more easily channel the magical power within their bodies.

"That's right. If we have to say that what we are learning now is related to alchemy, it should be Transfiguration, not wand making."

Hermione's correct explanation quickly allowed Ron to overturn his previous guesses and inferences.

"No wonder Dumbledore has such great achievements in alchemy. He used to be a professor of Transfiguration." Ron looked at Harry deliberately while speaking.

When the two little wizards were riding on the Hogwarts Express, they got a Dumbledore card among the Chocolate Frog cards.

It clearly states that Dumbledore was very successful in alchemy.

"I remember, I still have this card."

The explanation on the Chocolate Frog card confirmed Hermione's statement, but Moon was even more curious.

"Hermione, you didn't read the sixth grade textbook?"

Alchemy is an elective course in sixth grade, and Hermione knows so much about it that Moon has to be suspicious.

"How is that possible? I just borrowed a lot of Transfiguration books last week, and these contents were found in them."

Last week, because she wanted to understand the magic that changed the color of the terracotta warriors, Hermione borrowed more than a dozen books on Transfiguration from the library. Moon was very aware of this.

"But I remember you weren't looking at color-changing magic?"

"Yes, alchemy is very broad, and color-changing magic is just a small part of it."

After hearing what Hermione said, Moon knew what to do next.

He obtained an alchemy key on the pirate ship. Although he did not bring this key to Hogwarts, it did not prevent him from learning some knowledge of alchemy.

If you want to acquire this knowledge now, the best way is naturally to go to the library like Hermione.

Monday's lessons for the first-year Gryffindor wizards were very simple.

There was a History of Magic class in the morning, a Herbology class in the afternoon, and then it was all rest time.

Of course, for Moon, he has one more thing to do this month than others.

Cleaning up the Potions classroom.

After Moon learned the [Cleansing Spell], this confinement no longer required anyone's help.

Although the range of Moon's [Cleaning Spell] is not very large, it doesn't take many spells to clean a classroom.

But today's lockdown will obviously lead to something even more unpredictable.

When Moon was halfway through cleaning the classroom, Professor Snape hurried over.

"Professor? Are you okay?"

Professor Snape's face was originally very pale, but now with the contrast of the heavy dark circles under his eyes, he no longer looked like a normal person.

"Nothing? How can it be okay? You'd better explain it yourself!"

After Snape finished speaking, he threw a scroll in his hand to Moon.

Hearing Snape's voice, which was even stricter than in Potions class, Moon opened the scroll curiously.

"Professor, have you analyzed the potion?"

After Moon saw clearly what was drawn on the scroll, he knew that this was the real secret of the potion.

"Professor, you truly are worthy of being a Potions Master. It's only been two days!"

"Don't rush to praise me, you'd better read it first."

Hearing Snape's serious tone, Moon unfolded the entire scroll.

Snape had already drawn images of all the ingredients for the potion.

There are eight types in total.

Moon saw the little white flower that he had analyzed in it.

"Swamp lily? It can hide the poison in the potion."

After reading the description of the little white flower, Moon raised his head and looked at Snape suspiciously.

"Professor, is this a bottle of poison?"

"Poison? Not really. I've looked through all the potion books in the library dating back thousands of years. After you've read everything on the scroll, you should be able to make your own judgment."

"Uh, alright! Good job, Professor."
