Chapter 29 The Magic Stone

"What have you been doing?" Hermione couldn't help but feel curious as she looked at Fan Lin who came to see him so late.

"I went to see Professor Snape, and he promised me to spare an hour every night to help me improve my strength!"

Hermione's eyes widened and she looked at Al who was making a statement to him and said, "Are you not sick? Or Snape is sick. How could he agree to spare extra time to teach you, especially when he is still Snape?" Dean of Leitlin College!”

"I'm not very sure. It's just that Professor McGonagall asked me to tell Professor Snape something. Professor Dumbledore said that he will come back!" Fan Lin also found it incredible. He couldn't understand it at all. Who was he referring to, and Snape's attitude changed so quickly!

"What? Snape doesn't have a fever, or is there some secret in this?" Hermione also looked confused, which was very inconsistent with Snape's usual attitude!

"Who knows!" Fan Lin looked at his watch. It had been more than an hour since he came out of Snape's office, and the sky was getting darker. Fan Lin looked at Hermione in front of him and just opened his mouth. , wanted something, but when he thought of Hermione's usual respectful attitude towards teachers other than Snape, Fanlin thought about it and decided not to tell Hermione about some assumptions about Professor Lodge for a second!

"What's wrong with you?" Hermione looked up and found Al looking at her as if something was wrong!

"Oh, no, it's nothing! I think I found something interesting!" Al handed the book in his hand to Hermione, "This is some information I found."

Hermione lowered her head and flipped through the book handed over by Fan Lin. It was a character document similar to historical materials.

"Nicholas Flamel?" Hermione didn't understand. Fan Lin was trying to explain something.

"That's right, it's Nicolas Flamel!" Fan Lin stood up and walked to sit next to Hermione, pointing to a piece of text in the book.

"These are some clues I found about the thing hidden on the third floor, which is the thing Hagrid took out from the vault No. 713 under Gringotts!"

Looking at Hermione's frown, Fan Lin quickly continued: "Nicholas Flamel is the only great wizard in the world who has mastered the technology of immortality. He has lived for 657 years. Do you know why he has lived for so long? ?”

"There must be some kind of medium, it should be a powerful magic item!" Hermione thought about it for a moment, "Listen to me, Fanlin, I think you have gone a little crazy recently, and this is not something we should consider. thing!"

"I know, Hermione, but I've found them all, why don't you come and listen?" Fan Lin winked at Hermione and motioned for Hermione to continue listening!

"Listen, Hermione, Nicolas Flamel relies on the Philosopher's Stone to make the elixir of life. As a top rare magic item, the Philosopher's Stone has extremely powerful magic power, can turn stone into gold, and can also make The elixir of life! The first emperor of ancient China, King Qin Yingzheng, once sent the immortal master Xu Fu out to sea to find traces of the magic stone. Although King Qin failed in the end, it also alerted the world that there is such a precious magic item in the world. , as far as I know, since the search by King Qin in ancient China, there has been a frenzy to find the magic stone. Later, some powerful ancient magicians once owned the naturally evolved magic stone, but in the end they all disappeared inexplicably. No one has lived beyond 700 years old! And Nicoléme is the wizard of this generation who has the natural magic stone!"

"Is there a classification for the Philosopher's Stone? Why is it called the Natural Philosopher's Stone?" Hermione vaguely thought of what the thing Hagrid took out was, but she didn't quite understand why Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone was in Hogwarts. here!

"Of course, because of the power of the magic stone, all wizards at that time were very interested in it, so through superb alchemy, many artificial magic stones were made. Of course, they were also very powerful, able to turn stone into gold, and had huge magic power. But the most important point is that artificial magic stones cannot make the elixir of life. According to literature, the Sword in the Stone in the hand of King Arthur is inlaid with magic stones made by human wizards and elf wizards. In order to further enhance the power of the Sword in the Stone !”

"So, you mean that Nicolas Flamel gave the Philosopher's Stone to Hogwarts for safekeeping?"

"That's right, Hermione!" Fan Lin pulled out a newspaper clipping from his pile of information, pointed at the person on it and said, "Look, this is Nicoléme, and next to him are us. Professor Dumbledore! They are good friends. Nicolas Flamel once said that Dumbledore was the person he trusted most, and also said that he would give up taking the elixir. I think, for people of their age, He said, he has seen through life and death a long time ago!" Fan Lin's eyes were filled with excitement, and he felt that Nico Flamel was so cool!

"So, he gave his Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore for safekeeping. He felt that it was not safe to put it in Gringotts!" Hermione finally found a reason to convince herself.

And so it was, because Gringotts was attacked not long after they started school!

"In fact, that's it!" Fan Lin picked up the cup and took a sip of water. After saying such a long paragraph, he felt his mouth was dry and he had to need some water to relieve it!

"But, what does this mean?" Hermione frowned and stared at Fan Lin's face: "Don't tell me what you think about the Sorcerer's Stone!"

"No, of course not!" Fan Lin quickly waved his hand, indicating that Hermione was not what she thought! "I mean, someone is interested in the Philosopher's Stone, and that person is in Hogwarts now!"

"You mean, on the night of the troll, someone broke into the third floor to steal the magic stone?"

"Yes, that must be the case!" Fan Lin looked at Hermione firmly!

"And I'm..." Fan Lin wanted to continue to guide Hermione, but was immediately interrupted by Hermione!

"So, it was Snape? He was the only one injured that night by the troll, and he did not fight the troll!" Hermione said firmly.

"But..." Fan Lin obviously did not expect that things would develop in this direction!

"No but, Fan Lin, I think your current thoughts are very dangerous. You are still a first-year wizard. You are not Snape or Professor Dumbledore. Although your strength is much higher than ours, this is not Things you can handle!" Hermione took Fan Lin's hand and said earnestly.

"But Hermione, I..."

"Okay, Fan Lin!" Fan Lin was interrupted again. "Fan Lin, listen to me, these things should be considered by professors, okay. Your strength can't solve such a problem, even if So what if Nep got the Philosopher's Stone? He is a professor at Hogwarts, and there is Albus Dumbledore, the most powerful white wizard in history, sitting here. There is nothing to worry about. Don't commit any crime. Danger, okay, Fan Lin, look into my eyes and promise me!" Hermione stared at her big eyes and looked at Fan Lin!

"Okay, okay..." Fan Lin looked at Hermione and really didn't want to say anything, so he had to agree!

When he went back in the evening and told his speculation to Harry and Ron, Harry and Ron immediately concluded that Snape was up to something, and everything seemed to fall into a strange circle.

Fan Lin completely lost his clue in it, and all the bad things revolved around Snape, but Fan Lin knew that it must not be Snape, otherwise Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore would not have given him permission to go. Get Snape to teach him!
