Chapter 43 Nicole Flamel - Maker of the Sorcerer's Stone

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

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

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

Until the third night, Dumbledore appeared in that classroom.

"You're here again, Harry?" Dumbledore stood at the window, his shadow cast on the wall next to Harry under the moonlight.

Seeing the sudden appearance of a figure, Harry was startled, turned around immediately, and then stood obediently beside the mirror, silent and silent.

"It seems to me that you, like many others, have found the Mirror of Erised to be of great delight.

I'm sure you know its magic by now. Dumbledore walked up to Harry Potter slowly, "Let me give you a hint, what the happiest person in the world sees when he looks in this mirror is himself, his own appearance." "

"I know." Harry said, "Just like this sentence on the mirror, what it shows us is the most urgent and strongest desire hidden deep in our hearts."

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

Harry Potter scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, I didn't find this out, it was..."

Harry stopped in the middle of his speech, and he remembered that Aaron followed him secretly. This was a violation of school rules, and it would be bad for Dumbledore to know.

"Oh! It seems that there are other people besides you 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, thinking that the matter might not be that serious, but just in case, he still said: "Then you have to promise me that you won't tell it, and you won't tell me anything about it." He makes any punishment."

"Of course, I fully understand your desire to take care of your friend, and that's perfectly 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 means you didn't do anything. "

Harry froze for a moment, unable to believe that such words came from the Headmaster's mouth.

"What? Surprised?

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

But for your own sake, you should refrain from doing such things in the future. If I get caught, I can only do business. At most, I will help the students to intercede. Of course, this depends on the situation. "

"Okay!" Harry felt much relieved, "Headmaster, I'll tell you.

The secret of this mirror was first discovered by Aaron. "

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

"I knew him, he was impeccable on the Quidditch pitch."

"Yes, that's him.

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

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

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

"Why does it feel like someone is staring at you?" Aaron said to himself, without paying much attention, and continued to sleep after tightening the quilt.

......

"Harry, you must remember that this mirror does not give us knowledge and truth.

People waste their time in front of it, even go crazy. There was a hint of threat in Dumbledore's words, which made Harry turn his head guiltily.

"So! Take this mirror away tomorrow.

I must advise you, don't bother looking for it in the future.

It won't do you any good if you dwell on your 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 radiant old man holding a pair of thick woolen socks in his hand.

"Aaron Gaius?

A Slytherin, or a member of the Gaius family, is a bit difficult to handle!

I hope it doesn't affect my plans, otherwise... just a few adjustments. A wise light flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, then he slightly raised his hand and put away the Mirror of Erised.

......

At the end of the holiday, the snow covering Hogwarts gradually melted away, and students of all grades returned to this castle to start their respective study careers.

library.

Aaron opened the dragon illustrated book sent by Jins, and introduced Abe to his kind one by one with Abe in his arms.

Draco on the opposite side was also holding a book to read, but his two servants were a little stretched, and fell asleep directly on the table.

"Aaron, I really don't understand why you show Abe books about dragons, it's better to read about cats."

As soon as the words fell, Abe jumped on the table and grinned at Draco.

If it wasn't because there were so many people here, it would definitely fly up and slap him twice with its wings, to let him know what the dignity of a dragon is.

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

At this time, Hermione passed behind Draco with a thick old book in her arms. When she saw Aaron, she paused, "Well, Aaron, can you come here for a while, I have something to ask you."

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

"understood!"

Hermione led Aaron to an empty table, then patted the book in her hand on the table, hesitated for a moment and said, "I found Nicole 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 here in high spirits and come back disappointed, I am worried for them.

By the way, you found information about Nicole Flamel in this book? "

"That's right! This is what I plan to do during the Christmas vacation." Hermione turned to Nico Flamel's introduction, "Nico Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone.

The Sorcerer's Stone is a magical substance with amazing magical powers. It can turn any metal into gold, and it can also make an elixir of life. People who drink it can live forever.

The last surviving Philosopher's Stone belongs to the famous alchemist Nicole Flamel, who celebrated his 665th birthday last year. "

The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched, "It's a bit exaggerated to say that the Philosopher's Stone can make people live forever, but I really never thought that he lived for more than 600 years."

"That's not the point, the point is Nicole Flamel, and the Philosopher's Stone." Hermione was a little tangled, "I don't know if I should tell Harry and the others about Nicole Flamel's identity.

This may involve such a priceless treasure as the Philosopher's Stone, the water is too deep. "

"Well... I think you'd better tell them.

I don't know about the others, but I can be sure that the book in this library that records Nicole Flamel is definitely not the only one in your hand.

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

Since it can't be kept secret, it's better to tell them in advance, and it can save a little effort. "

"It seems to be the only way."

"You didn't find Nicole Flamel because of the Philosopher's Stone, did you?"

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

"The Philosopher's Stone is at the school, and someone is trying to figure it out?"

"Yes, the Philosopher's Stone was originally in Gringotts, but is now kept by Professor Dumbledore in a room to the right on the fourth floor, watched over by a three-headed dog.

Harry and the others would have preconceived that Snape wanted to steal it. "

"It's normal, after all, in the whole of Hogwarts, only Professor Snape, who is the worst or even hostile to them, fits his guess.

There are two things that can be determined at present. First, the people behind the scenes have not yet succeeded.

Second, there must not only be a three-headed dog watching the hidden place of the Philosopher's Stone, there must be other defensive forces.

That thing is too precious, what if the dog accidentally falls asleep? "

"Aaron, do you want to tell Professor Dumbledore about this?"

"It's better not." Aaron interrupted her immediately, "At least now is not the time."

"Why?" Hermione was puzzled.

"First of all, you don't have any evidence to prove that someone is going to steal the Philosopher's Stone, let alone direct evidence that the person who is going to steal it is Professor Snape.

Second, how did you know there was a Philosopher's Stone in the school?

This should be considered a secret!Don't tell me you're just guessing. "

Hermione pursed her lips, "Hagrid accidentally slipped the tongue."

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

Of course, there is the most important point, once you tell Dumbledore, you may startle the snake.

You must know that the Sorcerer's Stone is protected layer by layer, but if you want to transfer it, the defensive power will be greatly reduced, which will give people an opportunity to take advantage of it. "
