Hogwarts lazy snake

Nicolas Flamel's chair, which seemed to have been suspended, took Horn to the side, in front of a wine rack filled with various wines.

"Horn, I will take you to the place where you will study." Nicolas Flamel said without seeing any movement, and saw colorful rays of light appear on the crystal door on the drunk driving.

Horn felt a flash of light before his eyes, and it was like a door key, and he arrived at a place full of books.

Nicolas Flamel asked, "Son, tell me first about your alchemy skills."

Horn scratched his head nervously and replied, "Master Flamel, I have some knowledge of alchemy, but I am only in the learning stage. I have mastered some basic alchemy principles and methods and can make some simple magic props."

Nicolas Flamel nodded slightly, looked at the glasses on Horn's face and said thoughtfully: "Well, then tell me about your understanding of elemental transformation."

Horn thought for a moment and said, "Element transformation is one of the important contents of alchemy. One element can be transformed into another through specific magical means. But this requires a deep understanding of the nature of the elements and the laws of magic, and there are certain risks in the transformation process."

Nicolas Flamel's eyes flashed with admiration, and then asked: "Then what do you pay most attention to when making magic props?"

Horn answered seriously: "I think when making magic props, the most important thing is stability and functionality. A good magic prop should not only be able to play a specific function, but also ensure stability during use to avoid unexpected situations."

Nicolas Flamel smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you have a relatively deep understanding of alchemy. However, your foundation needs to be further consolidated."

Horn nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, Master Flamel. I will definitely study hard."

Nicolas Flamel waved his hand and said, "Okay, now let's review the basic principles of alchemy. Do you know what the three principles of alchemy are?"

Horn was very familiar with these three principles and immediately replied, "I know that the three principles of alchemy are equivalent exchange, understanding, decomposition and reconstruction. Equivalent exchange means that in the process of alchemy, you need to pay a corresponding price to get the desired result; understanding means to have a deep understanding of the nature of matter and the laws of magic; decomposition and reconstruction means to decompose matter and then recombine it to create new matter or magic props."

Nicolas Flamel nodded slightly and said, "Very good, then tell me how to apply these three principles in practice?"

Horn pondered for a moment and said, "In actual operation, we need to reasonably apply these three principles according to the specific situation. For example, when making magic props, we must first understand the properties of the required materials and the laws of magic, and then decompose and reconstruct them. At the same time, we must pay attention to equivalent exchange to ensure that the price paid is reasonable."

Nicolas Flamel looked at Horn with satisfaction and said, "Your answer is very good. It seems that you do have a certain talent in alchemy, at least your memory is good. But these are just the basic rules, there is still a lot to learn."

However, Nicolas Flamel thought that this was not enough. After all, he had heard Dumbledore talk about Horn's talent. He was very good at both spells and transfiguration. Flamel thought that as a descendant of Ambot, it was normal for him to have such talent.

"In the next period of time, you will look through the books on the bookshelf to help you better master alchemy."

After hearing Nicolas Flamel's words, Horn couldn't wait to pick up a book and start reading.

Looking at the other person's seriously studying figure and those eyes, Nicolas Flamel couldn't help but think of that unruly, freedom-loving and spirited figure.

Time passed quietly, and Horn was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge. However, when Horn looked up from the pile of books and took out his pocket watch, he was shocked to realize that he had been in this place for so long.

He stretched his stiff body and glanced at Nicolas Flamel who was sleeping in a chair beside him. Horn heard the slight snoring and felt guilty.

He was so absorbed in reading that he didn't even notice when Nicolas Flamel fell asleep. He quickly used Transfiguration to conjure up a soft blanket and gently covered Nicolas Flamel with it.

Time passed quietly. In the following days, Madame Perenelle prepared a room for Horn, but it was not used. Apart from eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, Horn basically studied in the place full of alchemy books. He absorbed the knowledge like a sponge, and then verified and supplemented it with the knowledge in the alchemy books in his own cave.

At lunch time the next day, Horne and Nicolas Flamel sat opposite each other around the dining table. The warm sunlight gently sprinkled on the table through the window, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

While tasting the delicious food, Horn asked curiously, "Master Flamel, I am really surprised that you knew about the existence of the cave. Moreover, I didn't expect that you were also involved in the creation of the cave."

Near noon today, Nicolas Flamel saw the cave hanging around Horn's neck, so he talked to Horn about the cave and said that he was also one of the participants in the creation of the cave.

But in fact, Horn didn't know that Nicolas Flamel only felt the breath of his own creation. Moreover, since he was once a person who could enter and exit the cave, he could still feel it vaguely, even though the cave had changed its owner, and it was an unfamiliar new owner who had just been acquired not long ago.

Nicolas Flamel nodded slightly, a look of emotion on his face, and slowly said: "My child, your ancestor Ambot and I have a deep friendship. In the past, we experienced many things together."

"Moreover, your ancestor once saved my life and Madame Perenelle's life in a battle." At this point, Nicolas Flamel's eyes revealed deep gratitude.

At the same time, he also recalled a huge figure. When he was about to continue to recall the details of the figure, Nicolas Flamel immediately stopped this thought.

Madame Perenelle also looked at Horn with deep affection at this time, and said gently: "Horn, because your ancestors saved our lives, we also have feelings for you. Seeing you is like seeing Ambotte in the past."

Horn's eyes widened, his face full of shock, and he said, "Really? The ancestor is so powerful. What kind of battle was that?"

Horn recalled the first time he met Ambotte, his appearance and what he did.

Nicolas Flamel shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "My child, there are some things you should not know now. The battle was too dangerous and involved many complicated situations. But you must remember that the existence of the cave cannot be exposed casually, and you should not be too famous in the wizarding world. Otherwise, it may bring you unexpected troubles."

Horn nodded solemnly and said, "I understand, Master Flamel. I will be careful."

After the meal, Nicolas Flamel suddenly asked to enter the alchemical object that Horn renamed the cave. "Horn, I want to enter your cave to take a look, is that okay?" Nicolas Flamel's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Horn was a little surprised, but nodded. "Of course, Master Flamel."

Nicolas Flamel asked again: "Why is it called Dongtian? This name is very special."

Horn explained: "In Daxia, the word 'Dongtian' has a special meaning. It represents a mysterious and independent space, full of fantasy and mystery. I think this name is very suitable for this special space of mine, so I chose this name."
