Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 85 The Birth of the Four Irons (Fourth Update)

"Wow~ Where is this place?"

Hermione, Harry, and Ron couldn't help but gasp in amazement as they entered the Room of Requirement.

A spacious little square, filled with various targets, a beautifully designed large bed, and complete with tables, chairs, and other items.

"I don't know where this place is either; I just found it by chance. If I have nothing to do at night, I'll come here to practice magic!"

Jerry walked to the bedside and gestured for everyone to sit down first.

"No wonder you're so good at magic, you've been training every night!"

Hermione sat down next to Jerry, a look of admiration on her face.

She knew that Jerry was the best at using magic among all the first-year students. Professor Flitwick had even praised Jerry of Slytherin for his skill in using magic during his lessons.

While they were still practicing using the Levitation Charm to float feathers, Jerry was already able to demonstrate in class how to float a table at will.

It turns out that Jerry wasn't gifted at all; he simply practiced using spells diligently every night.

This made the three of them admire Jerry even more.

"Hermione, you know my dream is to become a righteous Auror who upholds the wizarding order, so of course I have to work hard on magic!"

Jerry explained without batting an eye.

To avoid being perceived by professors like Dumbledore and Snape as someone who would develop like Voldemort, Jerry conveyed a certain idea to those around him from the very beginning.

His dream was to become a righteous Auror who was irreconcilable with dark wizards and resolutely upheld the wizarding order.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. From now on, this will be our secret base. If anything happens again, we can come here to discuss it. Let's find out who Nicolas Flamel really is first!"

After saying that, Jerry took out the book "Basic Alchemy and Extensions" from his pocket.

Harry and his two companions nodded immediately.

Although Filch almost discovered their adventure, they eventually found clues about Nicolas Flamel.

They opened "Basic Alchemy and Extensions" and the four little heads huddled together to start reading.

This book, "Fundamentals and Extensions of Alchemy," mainly discusses the application of basic alchemy and the modification of related magical items.

Alchemy is not within the curriculum of Hogwarts, but that does not mean it is unimportant. On the contrary, it is so profound and difficult that it is very difficult for ordinary wizards to achieve anything.

The typical curriculum for young wizards consists of magical history, spells, and potions, while alchemy mainly involves crafting items with magical abilities, permanently imbuing items with spells that were originally one-time use, allowing them to be used indefinitely.

Like the Weasleys' magical car, the wizard's knight bus, the time-twister, and all sorts of magical items, including Professor Quirrell's box that Jerry is currently holding.

Alchemy was too profound for any of them to understand, but when they turned to the back and read the introductions to famous alchemists, they saw the name Nicolas Flamel.

Nicolas Flamel, born in 1327, was the most famous alchemist and the only known creator of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing properties.

The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold and can also create an elixir of immortality, making those who drink it never die.

There have been many reports about the Philosopher's Stone over the centuries, but the only surviving piece belongs to the famous alchemist and opera enthusiast, Mr. Nicolas Flamel.

"Good heavens, isn't he over six hundred years old?!"

Hermione gasped in surprise.

"That big dog must be guarding Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone! I dare say that Nicolas Flamel asked Dumbledore to keep it for him because they were friends, and he knew that someone was after the Philosopher's Stone. That's why he moved the Philosopher's Stone out of Gringotts."

Harry seemed to suddenly understand the whole story.

"A stone that can turn into gold and grant you eternal life—who wouldn't like that!"

Ron shrugged.

"With that big dog guarding it, and probably all sorts of defensive measures Dumbledore has set up inside, I don't think anyone can steal that Philosopher's Stone!"

Jerry also followed suit and expressed his opinion.

However, while expressing his opinion, he kept his eyes fixed on the magic book in his hand, using the "mind-clearing" function to quickly memorize the knowledge about alchemy in the magic book.

He was very interested in alchemy.

With the "energizing" function activated, Jerry can almost remember everything he sees.

If he were to delve into it properly and study it slowly, even with the activation of mind-clearing techniques, he estimated that he would definitely find it difficult to master such profound knowledge as alchemy in a short period of time. However, if he were to simply memorize it, it would be much faster.

Write it down, and you can understand it slowly when you have time.

After about half an hour, Jerry finally memorized the entire contents of "Fundamentals and Extensions of Alchemy".

"Filch should be almost gone. You guys go back to your dorms. I'll sneak this book back to the library and then come back to my dorm!"

Harry, Jerry, and the others nodded, then quietly left the Room of Requirement with Jerry.

After their adventure to the library together, the four of them became noticeably closer than before, especially Jerry, who shared a secret base that only they knew about.

Although Jerry had helped Harry and Ron on the train before, they were never assigned to the same house or attended classes together. They had a good relationship, but they weren't close enough to talk about anything.

Harry and Ron are basically very close, while Hermione and Jerry have an even deeper friendship because they often read books and discuss magic together.

But after this incident, the four of them became very close.

In his past life, Jerry had heard a saying: what kind of experiences can make relationships between people incredibly strong? The answer is the four ironclad principles:

"We fought side by side, studied together, shared the spoils, and drifted through X together!"

Now the four of them broke school rules together, broke into the library at night together, discovered the secret of the fourth floor together, and even had a secret base together, so their relationship naturally became very close.

On the second floor of the library, in the restricted area, Jerry put "Fundamentals and Extensions of Alchemy" back into the restricted section and sighed inwardly.

He had originally wanted to see if he could also look at other books, but feeling the subtle gaze that had never left him, he gave up.

Indeed, Harry had already returned to his dormitory, so there was no need for him to follow. But since Harry had come to the forbidden book area, which was very "dangerous" for a young wizard, how could Dumbledore not follow him?

In fact, today's harvest has already exceeded his expectations, so there is no need to take any more risks.

After leaving the library, Jerry went straight back to his dorm to sleep.
