The Alchemist of Harry Potter

"Go to Hagrid's to catch mice?"

Both Harry and Ron thought this was a bit baffling. Although they all knew that Hagrid's hut was indeed a bit of a rat, but... always felt that there was something weird about this.

"Would you like to go together later?"

Hermione picked up Crookshanks on her lap, took out the comb Albert gave the cat for Christmas from her robe pocket, and asked Harry and Ron casually.

"Well, we haven't been to Hagrid's place in a long time." Harry asked Ron sideways, "Will we go together?"

"Of course." Ron nodded.

Since the last Buckbeak escape, the three of them had never been to Hagrid's side to avoid suspicion.

Now that the Buckbeak affair has passed for a long time, no one should pay attention to this matter now, but it is a good opportunity to ask Hagrid what is going on in this matter.

The three had always been curious as to how Albert had managed to get Buckbeak out of thin air and hidden the hippogriff.

Hermione had also asked Professor McGonagall, however, the Vanishing Charm obviously couldn't do that, at least Professor McGonagall couldn't.

After a brief discussion, the three decided to go to Hagrid after dinner, so as not to catch mice and make them have no time to eat, it is not fun to be hungry at night.

Hermione found Albert who was eating, "Going to find Hagrid?"

"I still have something to do. I'll go there later." Albert gave Lee Jordan, who was about to say something, a shut up look and continued to eat.

After the three of Harry walked away, Albert turned his head and asked Lee Jordan, "How is your Patronus Charm doing?"

"It's done," said Lee Jordan, proudly puffing out his chest.

Fred and George joked: "It must be an orangutan!"

"Yes, it's the orangutan." Lee Jordan was a little depressed, but Albert really guessed it right.

"Badly caught up," Albert muttered.

"Catch what?" Lee Jordan asked, puzzled.

"The last plan, is it about to start?" George asked in a low voice, he thought it might be because of this, so Albert asked Lee Jordan if he had mastered the Patronus Charm.

"When does it start?" Fred was not stupid, and immediately guessed what was going on after being reminded by George.

"Wait." Albert said.

"Wait?" Lee Jordan was still a little stunned. He couldn't figure out what was going on now. Could it be that the plan to arrest the black dog Blake was about to start?

"You think the guy is hiding with Hagrid now?"

George was the most attentive of the three, immediately realizing what Albert had said, Pettigrew Peter's Animagus might be a mouse.

It is self-evident where the valuable old mouse is hiding.

So, Albert asked Hermione to take the cat to Hagrid, intending to use the cat named K to force Peter Pettigrew out.

Then, through Peter the mouse, lead the black dog Blake, so that they can be wiped out.

Just, does this really work?

Such an idea was quickly suppressed by the three of them. Albert was very shrewd and never did anything he was not sure about. Just look at the escape of the hippogriff a while ago.

"I remember Professor Lupin as if..." Fred said in a low voice.

"Today is the full moon." Albert reminded.

At this time, Professor Lupin was probably in his office, waiting to get through the painful stage of becoming a werewolf.

"Okay, that's right!"

The three looked at each other and nodded to show that they understood.

In fact, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all got it wrong, not because of Albert's prophecy, but because Albert planned to directly turn the prediction into reality.

"You go back to prepare first, and use this to stare at the three of Harry. Now is not the time for us to play."

"Where are you going?" George asked in confusion, taking the parchment and three strange badges.

"And what is this?"

"This thing can block the tracking of the Marauder's map."

"I just said that I couldn't find Albert's date before. It turns out that this guy already knew how to block the Marauder's map." George put the map in his pocket and distributed the badges to Fred and Lee. Jordan.

Albert intends to go to Professor Lupin, give him some hints, and talk about the recovery of the werewolf spell by the way.

Professor Lupin was sitting behind his desk having dinner when he rang the Defence Against the Dark Arts office.

"Is something wrong? Mr. Anderson." Lupin was surprised that someone was looking for him now.

"Well, there's something." Albert looked at Professor Lupin, whose face was slightly pale, and said straight to the point: "Professor, have you heard of the Restoring Humanoid Charm?

"What kind of magic is that?" Lupin looked at Albert suspiciously, he had realized that the other party had obviously other things to come to him at this time.

Albert introduced calmly: "A spell that can help werewolves restore their human form."

Professor Lupin's face instantly turned ugly. He knew what Albert meant by saying this. The other party obviously knew his werewolf's identity, but he was relieved quickly. Albert was too smart, just observe him and ask for leave. It is not difficult to speculate on this point. The last time the other party came to persuade him to leave early, I am afraid there are also reasons for this.

"Does such a spell really exist?" Lupin asked gently, putting down his fork. "I still haven't heard a spell like that, or werewolves wouldn't be so feared by everyone."

"Gilderoy Lockhart mentioned the Restoration Charm in 'Wandering with the Werewolves'."

"That's just one, and I heard..." Lupin ended up not saying Gilderoy Lockhart was a liar in front of Albert.

However, Albert had no such estimate, shrugged and said, "Yes, he is a liar and likes to turn other people's stories into his own."

Lupin opened his mouth in shock at Albert's astonishing words, not knowing what to say for a while.

"The Restoration Charm did once exist, and an old Armenian wizard used it to deal with the Wagga Wagga werewolves in Australia." Albert looked at Professor Lupin, who was dazed, and continued: "It's just that the old wizard because of Loha A large part of the memory has been cleaned up, and now I have become a little silly."

"So, the spell is lost." Lupin felt that Gilderoy Lockhart was entirely to blame for his fate.

"Forget it, I got the old wizard's note from Lockhart last year and reconstructed this spell, but I haven't tested the spell's effect on a werewolf." Albert explained the reason he came here.

Lupin was silent, he finally knew what Albert was doing with him now, he was going to experiment with himself!

Although Lupin didn't like this kind of thing, he didn't immediately reject Albert's proposal. He knew the importance of restoring the humanoid spell, and that spell was really important to werewolves.

Could make dangerous werewolves harmless, if really effective.

As for the wolf poison potion, that thing is too expensive, and the werewolves simply cannot afford it.

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, interrupting the brief conversation between the two.

"Come in," said Lupin loudly.

The door opened, and Snape walked in, holding a steaming goblet in his hand, and narrowed his eyes when he saw Albert.

"Ah, thanks, Severus." Lupin smiled at Snape. "Will you put it on the desk?"

Snape put down the steaming glass, looked back and forth between Albert and Lupin, pursed his lips, and said softly, "You should just drink it, Lupin."

"I'll drink it, after dinner," Lupin said.

"If I were you, I wouldn't stay here too long." Snape reminded Albert when he exited the room, "I think you must know the reason."

Seeing that the door was closed again, Albert withdrew his gaze, glanced at the goblet that Snape brought to Professor Lupin, and said softly, "Wolf Poison Potion, if you drink too much of this, it will be harmful to your body. And there will be a small reduction in lifespan?"

"You know?" Lupin asked curiously.

"Of course I know, I have participated in the improvement of the wolf venom potion." Albert said unbelievably calmly, "This thing was originally too expensive and too difficult, so basically no one paid attention. After several generations of improvement, the price of this thing has been reduced by more than half compared to the original, and it is easier to cook, and the effect is quite objective, that is, the toxicity of the medicine is relatively high, and it will have a bad effect on the body."

Don't look at the wolf poison potion that can make the werewolf harmless and keep sane, but this potion itself is also poisonous.

Albert, as an improver of wolf poison, is naturally very clear about this matter. Once this thing is drunk too much, it is harmful to the body. What is even worse is that this thing is too expensive.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you are still the champion of the Magic School Potions Competition." Lupin's expression soon returned to normal, and he now finally understood why many professors pushed Albert so much.

"However, to be honest. This stuff is really hard to drink." Professor Lupin couldn't help but complain.

"Because this thing was not originally used for drinking." Albert said strangely: "This thing is used to get the Merlin Medal. You said that there are a few werewolves who can really afford such an expensive potion, even if The price of the improved wolf venom is still not affordable for ordinary people."

"You're right." Lupin nodded, feeling that what Albert said was really reasonable, he suddenly asked, "What about the Restoring Humanoid Charm?"

"It's a very complicated spell, and it belongs to the advanced transformation field." Albert said calmly: "I'll be honest, many friends think I should take this opportunity to get the Merlin Medal."

Or for the Order of Merlin?

Lupin was silent.

However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Really a mature over-the-top student."

Lupin, who was sitting behind the desk, couldn't help showing a wry smile. In fact, he had nothing to refuse, and his intuition told him that he should agree to Albert's suggestion, even if the other party had made it clear that he was there for the Merlin Medal. The point is very real, and it cannot deny the importance of the Restoring Humanoid Charm.

"Are you going to try this spell on me now?" Professor Lupin asked rhetorically.

"Of course not now, I won't take this risk." Albert stood up and said: "Wait for the summer vacation, if you are willing to help, you can consider it a job, and I will pay you a lot of money Galleon."

It was normal for Lupin to hesitate, after all, he was using himself as an experiment, even if Albert said that the spell would be harmless even if it failed, and he was willing to give a large sum of Galleons to thank him for his cooperation.

"If you're willing to help, I can also tell you another secret that I discovered a while ago, a secret that may be related to Black." Albert said mysteriously when Lupin didn't speak.

"What secret?" Lupin agreed.

"I've seen the name Peter at Hogwarts Castle." Albert said surprisingly.

"what."

Lupin stood up in surprise.

"That thing is actually very useful. You confiscated Potter's Marauder's Map, and you probably don't want him to seek revenge on Black!" Albert looked at the Marauder's Map that was placed beside Lupin with a half-smiling smile. Before Lupin spoke, "I used the Marauder's Map before he was given to Harry. I had seen Peter's name at school, and as far as I know, Blake had killed a man named Peter. wizard."

"Thank you," said Lupin gratefully.

"You're welcome."

After Albert turned to leave, Lupin didn't care about eating anymore, picked up the Marauder's map and carefully screened the name Peter in the castle, but he couldn't find Peter's name among the many names.

Peter has left Hogwarts?

No, if Blake was still blocking him outside, he would never have escaped the castle.

When Lupin sank back into his chair, he saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione sneaking out of the castle to Hagrid's hunting lodge.

Professor Lupin frowned, stared at the Marauder's map in his hand, and checked the side again. He didn't think Albert would deceive himself, or make fun of himself, because there was no need for it, and he wouldn't do it.

I must have missed something.

What will it be?

Lupin regretted that he didn't ask clearly just now. He felt that Albert must know some secrets.

"If Peter is really alive..." Lupin was very confused, he knew he had to do something, maybe he should confess everything to Dumbledore.

However, Lupin was afraid that Dumbledore would know that he had failed him, and that guilt would eat him completely.

"Be brave, you should be brave Lupin, don't run away."

Lupin slapped himself in the face and murmured, "Harry has no family, he can't lose his godfather anymore.

Lupin decided to wait for his reply tomorrow, and then go to Albert. The other party must know something. He must find out if Peter is really alive, and then go to Dumbledore and confess what he knows to the other party. , only Dumbledore can help Black out of the predicament.
