Chapter 196 195 Conversation in Hagrid's Hut

Finny sighed and said to Harry,

"Okay, Harry, Hagrid is right about this. It has nothing to do with you. The thing Lu Wei is guarding is actually the Sorcerer's Stone,"

When Hermione heard this, she slapped her little head fiercely and said,

"I said how could I remember Nico Flamel but not the person? It turned out to be the Philosopher's Stone,"

Ron looked confused,

"The Philosopher's Stone? What is that?"

Feeney said calmly,

"It's an alchemical product. Well, it can turn stone into gold, and it can also be used to refine the elixir of life. Of course, it has side effects."

Hearing this, Hagrid no longer cared about why Finny knew about the Philosopher's Stone, and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.

Hermione even asked,

"Side effects? How did you know?"

Feeney took out the soul stone he made during the vampire ambush at the beginning of this year from the pocket of his robe, and said to several people,

"Now, this is made based on the principle of the magic stone. Although there are some differences in essence, it's not big. It's the same thing."

Seeing Finny casually taking out a stone from his body and calling it a magic stone, several people looked shocked.

Especially Hagrid. He could go to Gringotts to take out the Philosopher's Stone himself. He had naturally seen the Philosopher's Stone. Therefore, he knew very well that Finny was not lying. The blood-red gem in his hand was really It's the magic stone. Although there are some subtle differences, they are very similar in shape and appearance.

"You,,, how do you have this thing?"

Harry and others asked in shock,

Feeney shrugged and said,

"That's why I'm telling you, you're just overthinking it. This thing is really not that rare. Rare is rare. However, for many people, this is completely useless, otherwise I wouldn't care about it. Improvements were made to change its original capabilities.”

Ron still didn't want to believe it and said,

"What if Snape wants to live forever?"

Feeney sighed and glanced at Ron disappointedly.

Compared with George and Fred, Ron is really terrible. His talent is pretty good, but he doesn’t know how to work hard. He only knows how to play around all day long.

The twins are also very naughty, but their grades in all subjects are not bad, and they even work very hard on alchemy, herbal medicine, and potions. Although their purpose is still for fun,

But, Ron, he was really just joking, no reason, no goal, and he took Harry with him,

You know, Harry has the title of savior, so he needs to bear the responsibility of savior. He also has the blood feud of the Potter family being exterminated. Ron's behavior can be said to be very distasteful to Finny.

Today, Ron's stubborn thoughts and actions for the sake of face made Finny feel even more disappointed. Compared with other members of the Weasley family, Ron is really far behind.

"Snape is a well-known master of potions in the wizarding world. He may not be able to make the Philosopher's Stone, but if he wants to extend his life, he has many ways. Moreover, I remember I just said that the Philosopher's Stone is made by refining it. The elixir of life is flawed."

Listening to Feeney's words, the smart Hermione keenly noticed the problem in his words and asked,

"Finney, why do you keep talking about the need for immortality instead of the elixir?"

Finny glanced at Hermione appreciatively and said,

"This is its flaw. It does not really make people immortal. The essence of the magic stone is still an equivalent exchange in alchemy. Extending life does not mean that you will not grow old. You can imagine that a person has lived for five hundred years. , but aging at the same rate as ordinary people, what will it be like?"

After hearing this, even a fool knows that the magic stone's effect is not as good as they imagined.

Harry looked at Finny in shock, wanting to make sure what he said was true.

Feeney saw his thoughts, nodded and said,

"This is Nico's current state. He is holding heavier objects now, which will cause fractures, or even more serious ones. Because of the effect of the magic stone's elixir of life, he will not die from these injuries, but the torture he has endured But it won’t be reduced at all,”

Ron frowned and said to Finny,

"Even if Snape doesn't want immortality, wouldn't he have the Midas touch? Who wouldn't want more Galleons?"

Feeney shook his head and said,

"Don't think about Snape with your mind. He is one of the top potions masters in the wizarding world. The potions he refines have never lacked buyers in the wizarding world, even because he rarely sells his own potions. Because of his work, every potion he refines has a very high price in the magic world. To put it simply, he is not short of gold Galleons at all. If he is really short, he can just sell a few potions. , there is no need to risk offending Dumbledore to steal the Sorcerer's Stone."

Neville's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Finny and asked,

"So, who do you think is going to steal the Philosopher's Stone?"

Feeney smiled and said,

"Let's put it this way, I think you all know the news about the attack on Gringotts not long ago, right?"

Everyone nodded, and Harry even said,

"I know, that's what happened the day Hagrid and I went to Gringotts."

Feeney continued,

"So, it is certain that some people are concerned about the Sorcerer's Stone. Under such circumstances, why didn't Dumbledore hide the Sorcerer's Stone and put it in Hogwarts? You know, can Hogwarts still be there? What about the many little wizards who have no fighting ability?”

Hermione suddenly retorted,

"I've read in books that Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world..."

Finny interrupted Hermione and said,

"If Hogwarts is really so safe, why didn't Harry's parents hide in Hogwarts in the first place?"

Hearing this, Harry's face showed a trace of disappointment.

Feeney ignored it and continued,

"There are many ways to hide something in the wizarding world. I can think of several ways that others will never find. Even if Hogwarts is really so safe, why would Dumbledore do it? He said this publicly at the opening dinner? Although he didn't say what was hidden there, anyone who knew about it could guess that it was the magic stone. Just like me, I guessed it. Why do you think that is? Have you passed?"

Compared with the three simple-minded little lions, Hermione, as a little eagle, is naturally the one with the best brains. When Feeney finished speaking, she had some guesses that she couldn't believe.
