Chapter 43 Nicolas Flamel - Maker of the Philosopher's Stone

The Mirror of Erised is a magical item that deeply attracted Harry Potter, making him spend most of his time and energy on useless fantasies.

For several days, Harry would go to the classroom whenever he was free, and then sit in front of the mirror alone, staring at his parents in a daze.

Although he knew that the content was false, he still enjoyed it.

Until the third night, Dumbledore appeared in the classroom.

"You are here again, Harry?" Dumbledore stood at the window, and his shadow was spread on the wall next to Harry under the moonlight.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the figure, Harry was startled, turned around immediately, and then stood honestly next to the mirror, silent and silent.

"In my opinion, you, like many others, have discovered the endless fun brought by the Mirror of Erised.

I firmly believe that you now know its magic." Dumbledore slowly walked to Harry Potter, "I'll give you a hint, the happiest person in the world sees himself, his own appearance when looking into this mirror."

"I know." Harry said, "Just like this sentence on the mirror, it allows us to see the most urgent and strongest desires hidden deep in our hearts."

Hearing this, Dumbledore smiled with relief, "Harry, you are a little smarter than I thought."

Harry Potter scratched his head awkwardly, "Actually, this is not what I discovered, it's..."

Harry stopped halfway through his speech, and he remembered that Aaron had followed him secretly at the time, which was considered a violation of school rules, and it would be bad if Dumbledore knew about it.

"Oh! It seems that besides you, there are others who have seen this mirror.

Harry, can you tell me who it is?"

Seeing the kind smile on Dumbledore's face, Harry breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the matter might not be so serious, but just in case, he still said: "Then you have to promise me not to tell anyone and not to punish him in any way."

"Of course, I understand that you want to take care of your friend's feelings, and that's totally fine.

To be honest, it's not a big deal to sneak over to look in the mirror in the middle of the night, not to mention that you haven't been caught by Filch, which is equivalent to doing nothing."

Harry was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe that such words came from the headmaster's mouth.

"What? Are you surprised?

I used to be a Gryffindor, and violating school rules was commonplace.

But for your own sake, you should do less of this kind of thing in the future. If you are caught, I can only handle it impartially. At most, I will help the students to plead for mercy. Of course, this depends on the situation."

"Okay!" Harry felt a lot more relaxed, "Principal, I tell you.

Aaron discovered the secret of this mirror first."

"Aaron? Aaron Gaius?" Dumbledore's expression froze for a moment, and then returned to normal the next moment.

"I know him, his performance on the Quidditch field is impeccable."

"Yes, it's him.

And professor, he only saw himself in front of this mirror."

"Really? It seems that I have to pay more attention to this outstanding little wizard in the future." Dumbledore said with a smile.

At this time, Aaron, who was in the Slytherin dormitory, sneezed suddenly, opened his eyes from a deep sleep, and then shuddered involuntarily.

"Why do I feel like I'm being watched?" Aaron said to himself, not caring much, tightening the quilt and continuing to sleep.

......

"Harry, you have to remember that this mirror can't give us knowledge and truth.

People waste time in front of it, and even go crazy." Dumbledore's words carried a hint of intimidation, making Harry turn his head away guiltily.

"So! Move this mirror away tomorrow.

I must advise you not to go to great lengths to find it in the future.

It's not good for you to indulge in dreams and forget about life."

Harry nodded silently, then put on the invisibility cloak and left the classroom.

Dumbledore slowly closed the door and looked at himself in the Mirror of Erised, a spirited old man holding a pair of thick wool socks in his hand.

"Aaron Gaius?

A Slytherin, and a member of the Gaius family, it's a bit difficult to deal with!

I hope it won't affect my plan, otherwise... I can only make some adjustments." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with wisdom, and then he raised his hand slightly and put away the Mirror of Erised.

......

The holiday is over, the snow covering Hogwarts gradually melted, and students of all grades returned to the castle and began their respective study careers.

Library.

Aaron opened the dragon encyclopedia sent by Jins, holding Abe and introducing its kind one by one.

Draco opposite was also holding a book and reading, but his two followers were a little lame and fell asleep directly on the table.

"Aaron, I really don't understand why you let Abe read books about dragons. It's better for him to read books about cats."

As soon as he finished speaking, Abe jumped onto the table and bared his teeth at Draco.

If it weren't for the crowds of people here, he would definitely fly up and slap him hard with his wings to let him know what the dignity of a dragon is.

Seeing Abe like this, Draco felt a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.

At this time, Hermione passed by Draco with a thick old book in her arms. When she saw Aaron, she stopped for a moment, "Um, Aaron, can you come over here? I have something to talk to you about."

"Oh!" Aaron carried Abe and then closed the dragon encyclopedia, "Draco, don't wait for me for a while."

"Got it!"

Hermione brought Aaron to an empty table, then slapped the book in her hand on the table, and said after hesitating for a moment: "I found Nicolas Flamel."

"Wow!" Aaron raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This is really great news.

These days, Harry and Ron go to the library every day, but every time they come with excitement, they leave disappointed. I am worried about them.

By the way, you found Nicolas Flamel's letter in this book News?"

"Yes! This is what I plan to do to entertain myself during the Christmas holidays." Hermione flipped to the introduction of Nicolas Flamel, "Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone is a magical substance with amazing magic power. It can turn any metal into gold and make an elixir of life. Those who drink it can live forever.

The only remaining Philosopher's Stone belongs to the famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel. Last year he celebrated and spent his 665th birthday. "

Aaron's mouth twitched, "It's a bit exaggerated to say that the Philosopher's Stone can make people immortal, but I really didn't expect that he actually lived for more than 600 years. "

"That's not the point. The point is Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone." Hermione was a little entangled, "I don't know what to say now I shouldn't tell Harry and the others about Nicolas Flamel's identity.

This may involve a priceless treasure like the Philosopher's Stone, which is too complicated. "

"Well... I think it's better for you to tell them.

I don't know about other things, but I can be sure that there are definitely more books about Nicolas Flamel in this library than the one you have in your hand.

In other words, they will find Nicolas Flamel sooner or later.

Since it can't be hidden, it's better to tell them in advance, and it can save some effort. "

"It seems that this is the only way."

"Are you looking for Nicolas Flamel because of the Philosopher's Stone?"

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "You should be able to guess it!"

"The Philosopher's Stone is in the school, and someone is planning to take it?"

"Yes, the Philosopher's Stone will be opened. It was in Guling Pavilion, but now Professor Dumbledore is placed in a room on the fourth floor, and a three -headed dog will definitely enter. "This is normal," this is normal. In first, the people behind the scenes have not succeeded. "Why is it?" "Why" Hermione is a bit puzzled. "First of all, you have no evidence to prove that someone wants to steal magic stones, and there is no direct evidence to prove that it is Professor Snape. Don't tell me you are just guessing."

Hermione pursed her lips, "Hagrid let it slip by accident."

"Beautiful!" Aaron shook his head speechlessly, "If you tell Dumbledore, Hagrid will be punished, there is no doubt about that.

Of course, the most important point is that once you tell Dumbledore, it may alert the enemy.

You know, the Philosopher's Stone is now protected by layers, but if you want to move it, the defense will be greatly reduced, which will give people an opportunity to take advantage of it."
