Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic

When Auston choked, his face immediately turned red. He had already eaten the priceless Sorcerer's Stone.

"So now you know why it's so valuable." LeMay stopped looking at Auston. He carefully put the rough stone in his hand into the crystal furnace, then turned around and rummaged in the back cabinet.

Auston also hurried forward to help. He took everything Lemay took out of the cabinet—distillation pipes, charcoal clips, special alcohol blocks, and so on.

Auston carefully piled the things in his arms onto the workbench beside the crystal furnace. He also took a large bag of herbs and various delicate bottles and jars from Lemay's hand, and the small jars were filled with animal offal and a few scary giant spider eyes. There is also an old balance. I have to say that although the balance is a little old, it is very accurate in weighing.

During the entire work that followed, LeMay was flipping through a large, thick book, occasionally asking Auston to stir the contents of the crystal furnace, or asking him to add some herbs and animal offal according to the metering.

Auston resisted his nausea, took out the foamed spider eyes from the jar with gloves, and carefully slid the pile of disgusting things down the side of the crystal stove.

"Three and a half turns clockwise." Lemay, who was buried in the book, immediately added.

Auston held the big spoon standing beside the stove and reached into the crystal stove to stir.

Thinking of how the magic stone he swallowed was made in this way, he retched. It was worse than being forced to dissect frogs by Snape in Potions class.

By the end of the three-and-a-half laps, Auston felt like three and a half years had passed. Black smoke began to rise from the crystal furnace. The cloudy liquid inside began to boil.

"Quick! Auston, we're going to put the lid on!"

Lemay closed the book, walked quickly to the fire, and beckoned Auston to help him lift the lid.

After the crystal cover was perfectly fastened to the stove, the tumbling liquid inside began to gradually calm down, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Auston's head.

"Then we just need to wait five hours." Lemay smiled and handed Auston the big book he had just read. "During this time, you can try to read it."

Auston was a little overwhelmed. Although he didn't recognize the words on it, he could see it completely—it was ancient rune!

This book should be the masterpiece of alchemy brought out from the cave by Lemay's ancestors.

"Let's go, let's go to the study, and I'll tell you about it." Lemay patted his shoulder with a smile, and led him out of the studio on the basement floor.

Auston held the big book and followed LeMay up the second floor, into the study that was comparable to a library.

There are countless books here, and they are lined up on huge bookshelves that reach to the ceiling. And Dolly the house-elf is the keeper here, and you can ask her to help you find every book you want. More often, you only need to describe the characteristics of the book a little, and she will immediately find a bunch of books that suit your heart for you to choose from. Of course, this is also when she is in a good mood. This little administrator is always very arrogant, and Auston has run into a wall with her more than once.

He guessed that Dolly's aloof character might have something to do with her reading too much. At this moment, Dolly was also sitting on the wooden chair beside the bookshelf, concentrating on reading a big book. Auston felt that the book was about to catch up with Dolly's height, and he really didn't know how she took it down.

Lemay and Auston walked into the study without disturbing Dolly's reading in the slightest.

Lemay coughed lightly, which caught her attention.

"Dolly, I'm sorry, please go out for a while," he said kindly. "I have something to talk to Auston. Tony is cleaning up the goblins in the garden. Maybe you can go and help your friend."

Dolly glared at Auston ill-naturedly, then stretched out her long fingers and lightly tapped the big book in front of her. The big book closed immediately, then floated up gently, and flew to the shelf under the ceiling and automatically returned. bit.

Afterwards, she jumped off the wooden chair and swayed out of the study. Auston guessed that she would not go to clean up the goblins, and the little guy would not listen to anyone but Madame Lemay's orders.

After Dolly left, Lemay sat behind the desk and beckoned to Auston, "Come here, I have to teach you ancient runes first, so that you can understand this book."

Auston, holding the book, sat awkwardly across from Lemay,

"Sir, I think we need to think carefully about the heir."

"Do you have any doubts?" Lemay narrowed his eyes and looked at him, the light in his eyes seemed to shine into his heart.

"No... No, I just think it's too hasty. It was originally because of your letter that the Philosopher's Stone was transformed, and you still have to help me solve the problem of not being able to use magic, so I came here. Now Knowing that you asked me to come here just to find a Squib to be his heir, everything in the letter is just a pretense, how can I accept it so easily." Auston complained with a frown.

Lemay has also been listening carefully,

"So, do you think it's a bad thing to be my heir?" he asked.

of course not! Auston deeply knew Nicole May's influence in the magic world~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He also knew that as long as he hugged this big tree, it would not be too easy to mix in the magic world after that. but……

"I want to know, is it Professor Dumbledore's advice to you about choosing me as your heir?" Auston asked carefully, he always contradicted Dumbledore's arrangements.

"Do you care about Albus' opinion?" LeMay's exploratory gaze fell on Auston's face.

"No..., of course not, it's just..." Auston always felt that some words were not easy to say. Maybe Lemay knew Dumbledore's plan from the beginning, and even stood with him,

"I haven't discussed it with my family." Auston gave a random reason and interrupted.

Hearing this, a smile gradually appeared on Lemay's face. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Auston.

"I wrote to your parents two days ago about this matter, and they are very happy, even your little sister wants to come and visit your future home, and you can bring her with you next time on vacation. ' Lemay smiled at the suggestion.

Auston opened the envelope, and sure enough, the Browns were very supportive of Auston being accepted as his heir by LeMay.

Although Auston was still a little embarrassed, he was speechless.

Lemay's bright eyes were always on his depressed face,

"Actually, I had this idea as early as a year ago," he gently poked the white beard on his lips,

"Just before you went to Hogwarts, Dumbledore came to me once and talked to me about the fact that you can't buy a wand, and then I became interested in you, a man with magical powers in his body. A wizard, without a proper wand, has always been unheard of." LeMay looked at him like a rare treasure.
