Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 3 "Alchemy from Beginning to Burying"

When Hardy also walked towards the little red-haired witch, countless malicious peeping eyes suddenly disappeared.

Even the wizard in the dirty robe stopped immediately and stared at him.

He recognized the guy in front of him.

Some time ago, in the depths of Tumbling Dou Alley, I used the Cruciatus Curse to repeatedly torture a wizard who wanted to rob him.

In the end, he even used the Imperius Curse to force the other party to dance ballet on tiptoe for four hours.

Poor guy, at the end of the jump, there was a bloodstain on the ground with his toes.

Of the three unforgivable curses, I have already mastered two!
Who can guarantee that he will not know the most terrifying Killing Curse?
The dirty-robed wizard disappeared into the alley on the other side.

The red-haired little witch breathed a sigh of relief.

"You shouldn't be here," Hardy walked up. The little witch wanted to tense up, but seeing Hardy's kind eyes, she found that she couldn't be nervous at all.

"He doesn't look... like a bad guy," she thought. "Bad guys don't look that good."

"The little Weasley witch?" Hardy asked.

The little witch nodded quickly, "Ah, yes, yes, Ginny, Ginny Weasley."

"Come with me, I'll take you back to Diagon Alley."

After bringing Ginny back to Diagon Alley, Hardy got into Dump Alley again.

"Oh, Merlin!" Mrs. Weasley passed through the crowd and hugged Ginny, "Where have you been? Didn't you tell you not to run around?"

Ginny stared blankly at the alley where Hardy disappeared, and a sharp green light suddenly flashed there.

……

……

At King's Cross Station, even though the day had just dawned and the fog had not cleared, the spacious platform was already crowded with hurried passengers.

Hardy Ollivander, wearing an elegant black suit and carrying a shiny suitcase, came to the open space between platforms nine and ten.

Hardy looked at the third pillar between the two platforms. At this moment, people were pushing huge shelves into the pillar covered with stone bricks one after another, but the Muggles passing by turned a blind eye to this scene.

"Platform nine and three-quarters, how long has it been since I've been here?"

Hardy muttered to himself, and followed the other wizards across the third pillar to another small station without Muggles.

Because the fireplace at Hogwarts had a small problem recently and could not connect to the Floo network, Hardy had to go to Hogwarts in this way.

On the rails next to the platform, the black and red Hogwarts Express train was preparing for departure. Billowing steam was continuously ejected from the chimney, making the air on the platform somewhat hot and humid.

Hardy glanced at the ancient clock on the platform. It was just 7 o'clock, and there were still 15 minutes before the departure time of the Hogwarts Express.

Taking familiar steps, Hardy came to an empty waiting chair and sat down, waved his magic wand with ease, and released a cowhide book that fluttered like a bird from the suitcase.

It was Hardy's habit to read the latest theoretical literature on alchemy in the world before the departure. Don't look at this small 15 minutes. Hardy used it to gnaw away several big books on alchemy. focus on.

Hardy adjusted the most comfortable sitting position, and just punched the noisy cowhide books. When he was about to browse, there was a sudden noise from the side of the Hogwarts Express train.

I saw a few young conductors walking back and forth, muttering words such as "not good", "broken", and "delayed".

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Hardy pressed the struggling cowhide book and looked up at a passing conductor. He didn't want to encounter a train delay when he went to Hogwarts for an interview.

"Sir, thank you for your kindness. There is a little problem with our train, but please rest assured that our train maintenance personnel are good enough, and all problems will be solved."

Seeing that the conductor declined his help, Hardy shrugged helplessly, readjusted to a comfortable sitting posture, and soon fell into the world of words in the book.

"This is "Alchemy: From Beginning to Burying"? My God, I've been looking for this book for a long time. The owner of Ke Lihen Bookstore told me that this book has only printed a hundred copies, and the number is extremely limited."

Hardy was pondering some ideas in the book when his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a scream.

He raised his head, just in time to see a little witch looking at the cowhide book in his hand in surprise.

The other party has thick brown curly hair and cute rabbit-like front teeth. Just standing there can already make others feel the infinite vitality of her youthful girl.

After meeting Hardy's gaze, the little witch realized her impolite behavior, and immediately showed an embarrassed expression: "Sorry, sir, I accidentally interrupted your reading."

"It's ok."

Hardy closed the last page of the cowhide book and said, "I just finished reading it. It's a very good book."

"really?"

The little witch's black gem-like eyes stared at the book in Hardy's hand seriously, and couldn't help asking: "Is this book really mentioning the lives of ancient alchemists?"

"If you want to know, you might as well read it yourself. If you don't mind, I can lend you this book for a while."

At this time, Hardy had already recognized the identity of the other party, Hogwarts second-year student, Hermione Granger.

A lovable little witch with a love of knowledge.In the opponent, Hardy even saw the shadow of his youth.

"This... this is so surprising... I... I mean, is this really okay?" Hermione Granger was extremely excited.

"of course."

Hardy motioned Hermione to sit next to him, and handed "Alchemy: From Beginning to Burial" to the other party: "Hello, my name is Hardy Ollivander."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ollivander. I have been looking for this book for a long time. By the way, my name is Hermione, Hermione Granger, a second-year Hogwarts student."

"Miss Granger, if I remember correctly, your school should start in September, and you went to school two weeks earlier."

Sitting on the waiting chair, Hermione couldn't wait to spread the heavy books on her legs, and replied: "Yes, I deliberately made it a few days earlier so that I can spend more time in the school library .”

"Everyone—"

At this moment, the grey-bearded train conductor came out of the operating room of the Hogwarts Express, rubbing the space between his brows with a headache: "There is a crack in the control lever of the train, today's journey has to be postponed."

As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of complaints from the entire platform.

"I'm really sorry, our excellent train maintenance staff have done their best, now we need to wait for the new joystick to be shipped, which will take about 4 hours."

"4 hours?" Hardy frowned. What he was worried about happened after all. By the time the new joystick was delivered, he would have missed the alchemy professor's interview. This was not what he wanted to see.

"What is Mr. Ollivander going to Hogwarts for?" As if noticing that she shouldn't leave Hardy, who generously lent her books, Hermione resisted the attraction of the contents of the book, He pursed his lips and said.

"Ah, I went to Hogwarts to interview for the position of Professor of Alchemy, Miss Granger." Hardy paid close attention to the movement in the direction of the train conductor, a little absent-minded.

"Application for an interview as a professor of alchemy?" Hermione completely looked away from the book for the first time.

She looked at Hardy unexpectedly: "Mr. Ollivander, I think it is necessary to tell you that Hogwarts school does not currently offer alchemy courses. I really hope that you have not paid Galleons to others because of this before." .”

Hearing this, Hardy couldn't help laughing. Did the other party think that he had encountered a so-called job hunting scam?This kind of thing is often heard to happen in the Muggle world, but it is impossible for me, Hardy said!
"Miss Granger, thank you for your reminder. It is precisely because Hogwarts has not offered alchemy courses so far that I am going. Sorry, excuse me."

Seeing that the train conductor and others who were at a loss seemed to be really planning to give up, Hardy suddenly stood up from the waiting chair and walked over quickly.

"Excuse me, if it's just a crack in the joystick and you can't start, I can fix that."

In front of the train conductor and several conductors, Hardy said straight to the point: "I am Hardy Ollivander, I hope you can let me try my own alchemy."

Hardy's volunteering surprised the grey-bearded train conductor and the others. The train conductor glanced at the young man in front of him, showing suspicion: "Mr. Ollivander, thank you for your kindness, but this matter still waits for the new manipulator." Let’s talk about the rod shipment.”

Obviously, the grizzled train conductor didn't trust the young Hardy and the alchemy he talked about.

After all, according to the public's perception, who is a serious person nowadays who plays alchemy?Can the alchemy they play be serious?
Alchemy, which really works, has long been submerged in the long history of wizards.
