Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

Mason stared at the pendant in his hand.

After returning from Diagon Alley, he went straight up the stairs of the clock tower to find Mason, and now, the old man in front of him sat motionless in front of it.

"Was she studying this Elixir yeast during her lifetime?" Gray asked.

"Give it back to me first," Mason said grimly.

"I can't guarantee that you can be patient and won't throw me out like last time." Gray said, "Just talk to me, and then it will come back to your hands and move your lips. Besides, You won’t lose anything.”

"Okay," Mason said, "you're curious about this Elliott Hill yeast, right? But I don't think what I'm about to say will help you at all."

He suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and distracted himself from the pendant.

"Dumbledore introduced her to me," he whispered. "At that time, I was looking for Elixir Yeast. One day, Dumbledore asked me to meet a student. At first, I dismissed it, but when the fourth-year girl stood in front of me and said her After discovering the information about the Elixir yeast, I immediately invited her to do research with me. Like you, she was interested in crystallology, but most of what she learned at that time was superficial. "

Mason showed a very nostalgic look. His breathing was much calmer than before. There was no longer the sound of his angry breathing in the whole room. Gray suddenly realized that the surroundings were so quiet. It was so quiet except for the fire under the boiler. Apart from the constant crackling sounds, there was no other movement. It was almost late at night. The students had finished their day's activities and were already nestled in the warm quilts and ready to fall asleep.

"She said she saw a strange stone inscription during her trip, so she copied it and drew it. I was very happy. However, this did not allow us to break through. I asked her to go there again the next year to have a look, but it was too It was too late, the place was destroyed by a Muggle disaster, and the stone tablet was buried somewhere and can never be found again."

Mason stood up tremblingly, walked to his long table, pulled out a shabby parchment from under a tattered "Ancient Rune Dictionary" and handed it to him: "You don't know how much I read it every day. Second-rate."

Gray took it, and a damp and rotten smell hit his face, which made him hold back his breath.The parchment was torn and wrinkled in many places, and the ink writing was a little blurry. He took a quick look and found some crookedly drawn graphic symbols on the side. He held back his choking and said, "So you've been here until You still don’t understand the information on this?”

"Humph, if I figured it out, I wouldn't have to be here a long time ago. Originally, I should have left here last summer, but it turned out because..." He suddenly paused, glanced at Gray and then looked away, "Later , the mysterious man started causing trouble everywhere, and Frandi joined the Order of the Phoenix. The matter was put on hold and all clues were lost... Until one time she suddenly wrote to me and said that this matter seemed to have some clues, but then... …”

He seemed to be choked and coughed twice before he calmed down: "As a result, she died during the mission the next day. I don't understand why Dumbledore allowed the Order of the Phoenix to make such a serious mistake! It is said that there were casualties in that incident He killed a lot of people, and I think he is responsible for this!"

Gray stared at these crooked paintings. The paintings on them looked a bit like ancient runes, but he had never studied them. If he wanted to study on his own, he could only hope for the same book as the one on Mason's desk - — "Ancient Rune Dictionary".

"Have you ever asked Bathcida Barbling?" Gray turned the parchment left and right, trying to see something different from it with a lucky mentality, but he couldn't get a breakthrough, simply relying on I have a photographic memory and imprint those pictures and texts in my mind.

"Who?" Mason dug his ears.

"Professor of Ancient Runes at Hogwarts," Gray said, "You haven't recognized your colleagues after being here for so many years, right?"

"Humph..." Mason dismissed it, "I don't need her help. This is not a problem of translation, but a problem of complete and incomplete content. There is some information missing. Franti originally drew it. These pictures and texts are not comprehensive.”

"Oh..." Gray, "So, do you know what is written on it? Can you tell me about it?"

"Won't you try to translate it yourself?!" Mason yelled, "Give me back the pendant now!"

He stretched out his hand and pulled the pendant from Gray's hand. He kept wiping the crystal with his rough and dry hands, then picked it up and looked at it carefully. His nose was almost touching it. After careful inspection, Then he safely put it into his robe.

"That pendant seems to be very important to you."

"Yes, that's right, those damn dwarves ran around and knocked it off me..." Mason said angrily, "But don't even think about using it to take advantage of me a second time!"

"But...what does Elixir's yeast do?"

"You have no right to know—" he shouted again, "unless you know the way to get it!"

"Actually, I recently learned a little bit about the Elixir yeast..."

"What news?" Mason's eyes were full of surprise.

"I heard a bunch of French people were talking about it," Gray said. "They must know something, but I haven't found that group yet..."

Gray noticed that Mason's expression was gradually getting worse, and he was holding on to the back of the chair with one hand. He didn't even finish speaking, because the changes in the expression of the old man in front of him during his speech were too exaggerated.

"What's wrong?" Gray asked.

"French?" Mason's voice was hoarse. "You mean French?"

"And in Diagon Alley."

"They're still here..." Mason's voice became lower and lower, his hands tightly grasping the back of the chair, and the veins on his hands became more prominent due to the force, "Those French guys..."

"What?" Gray was confused, "Do you know each other?"

"No!" Mason stared at Gray closely, "Don't know any of them, Maurice!"

"What's the meaning……"

"The Frenchman is here for Elixir Yeast—"

"Them? What are they doing for this? What does this thing do?!"

"Look, it's good for you not to know now, it's to your advantage—" Mason said, "We can't talk any more, and don't tell anyone I'm here!"

"If you don't know them, you shouldn't know it." This sentence floated out from the depths of Gray's mind, and it was like this again, as if everything needed to know how to obtain the Elixir yeast before he could continue to progress. .A kind of irritation came up, and for a moment he even wondered if he was being used - by Dumbledore and Mason. He clearly knew the script of the original work, but why were there still so many surprises? Gray felt that they were waiting for them He seemed to have discovered something, but he didn't know any information.
