The Alchemist of Harry Potter

The Christmas holiday has quietly approached after Albert delivered the prepared Christmas gifts to the house-elves.

The Christmas atmosphere at Hogwarts Castle was even stronger, with twelve Christmas trees as usual in the Great Hall, holly and tinsel wrapped around the stair railings, and a large bunch hanging in every section of the corridor. Mistletoe, girls like to get together under the mistletoe, expecting a romantic kiss from the prince charming in their dreams.

By the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, Fred and George were equally excited about the holiday coming. The two were discussing how to prepare an unexpected surprise for Filch on the day they boarded the Hogwarts Express and left the school.

"Where are you going for Christmas vacation?" Lee Jordan reached out and poked Tom, who was lying by the fireplace. "Going abroad for vacation again?"

"I don't plan to go anywhere, I plan to stay at home for the whole holiday."

Recently, Herb has been running around outside, so the Anderson family has no plans to go on vacation at all this Christmas holiday, and plans to stay at home for the winter.

"Oh, by the way, I asked my father to help investigate the last incident, and I just received a reply not long ago."

"What's the matter?"

Fred and George had apparently forgotten what it was.

"Investigate the rent of the shop in Diagon Alley, which is higher than expected, and can't find a suitable rental shop." Lee Jordan took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Albert, and said to Fred and George, "Unless you are willing to open stores in those locations where the location is quite bad. Of course, there are still many shops waiting to be rented out in Fanpai Lane, and the price is quite cheap, but you also know that the security there is not very good."

"What do you think should be done?"

After Fred and George looked at each other, they looked at Albert to see if the other had a good solution to the problem.

"After waiting for two years, I believe that I can find a suitable location. At that time, the house price will not be too expensive. You can choose a good location and buy it directly, so you should just finish the seventh grade obediently, and don't always think about it in advance. Take a leave of absence.

"What will happen in two years."

All three understood the hints in Albert's words, and it was obvious that something bad would happen in two years.

In fact, it's not the first time Albert has hinted at this.

"I was in Hogsmeade a while back and heard Professor McGonagall talking to other professors about Sirius Black in the Three Broomsticks.

"Albert changed the subject.

"What about Blake?"

The three of them were very interested in this matter, but considering that they were in the common room and there were a lot of people around, they didn't specifically ask Albert about the follow-up.

After returning to the dormitory to rest, Albert would naturally share the story of Black with the three.

"Harry's father is actually good friends with Black, and Sirius Black is Harry's godfather?"

The three of them opened their mouths and listened to the whole thing with shock on their faces.

"Harry would be furious if he knew about it," George murmured.

"He knows." Albert threw another bombshell.

"Harry knows, how could he know?"

The three of them couldn't understand, and looked at Albert eagerly, waiting for the other party to explain to them.

"At that time, Potter was also present, he was hiding under the invisibility cloak, and happened to hear the conversation between Professor McGonagall." Albert looked at the three people who gradually opened their mouths, and it was such a coincidence.

"There are some things that really can't be said around," Lee Jordan muttered.

"I also discovered a secret."

"What secret?"

"About the identity of the Marauder's map maker." Albert motioned several people to keep quiet, and slowly expressed his guesses about the identities of the robbers.

Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all stunned after hearing this, especially after knowing that Professor Lupin was actually a werewolf, they kept mumbling something like no wonder.

"No wonder Professor Lupin calls in sick every once in a while."

"Professor Dumbledore must be crazy, how could he hire a werewolf?" Li Jordan looked at Albert in disbelief, "Don't you know how dangerous a werewolf is? Besides, he's not worried that Professor Lupin will help him. Black invaded Hogwarts Castle?"

"I don't think Blake needs to do this." Fred pointed out this clearly. "If Blake was involved in the creation of the Marauder's map, he could easily get in and out of Hogwarts."

"The Screaming Hut, remember the Screaming Hut? I daresay that the werewolf who was hiding in it at that time must have been Professor Lupin." George speculated, "The timing is exactly the same."

"Since they are friends, Blake must also know about the Screaming Hut. You said he will hide in the Screaming Hut now." Fred jumped up from the bed excitedly, he thought he might have found Blake's Whereabouts, "Perhaps, we should tell the Ministry of Magic about this and earn a bounty."

"It's impossible for the Dementors not to check the Screaming Cabin." George shook his head, "Dementors must have carefully checked the places around Hogwarts where people can hide. The hunt for ghosts."

"I know when Blake will appear." Albert said suddenly.

"What?" George asked excitedly, "Have you read it?"

"Yes, on the day that Hagrid's hippogriff was put to death, we'd go in an ambush and catch Black, but the Dementors would come out to spoil things, and there's a lot of trouble..."

"We got Black?"

"If you guys want to catch Blake with me and get that rich reward, you'd better hurry up and train yourself.

"We will face the Dementors?" Lee Jordan's face was a little ugly, and he understood why Albert urged them to practice the Patronus Charm.

Originally, they had similar ideas, but it has now been completely confirmed. Although they were psychologically prepared, the pressure was still very high. The three weak patron saints could not resist the Dementors at all.

"Although the prophecy implies that we captured Black and drove away the dementors, it does not mean the result. If you don't work hard, it is hard to say whether the result will come true."

Albert knew that money could make ghosts run the mill, and he could use money to unleash the unlimited potential of the three of them.

He needs other helpers to prevent any accidents.

"With this money, our store opening plan will definitely be fine." Fred said excitedly, that was 10,000 Galleons, even if they each got only 1,000 Galleons in the end, it was enough.

Albert was very satisfied with the performance of the three, and the interest stimulus really aroused the enthusiasm of the three.

That night, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all worked hard on their Patronus Charm.

The three of them worked hard all night, but the result was that they were a little lethargic the next day. Moreover, there is still no gain, which is a bit of a blow to people's confidence.

However, after Albert linked the summoning of the Patronus to a whole bunch of Galleons, Fred and George showed unprecedented enthusiasm, and even Lee Jordan was shocked.

After repeated efforts and corrections, although the patron saint of Fred and George was still a silver mist, the mist was more solid than before, making Albert have to feel the charm of Jin Galleon again.

"I have to work harder, or I will become a drag." Lee Jordan, seeing Fred and George working so hard on the Patronus Charm, also practiced together, not wanting to be a drag.

On the day they left school, the four of them chatted about the Patronus Charm in the Thestral carriage.

In fact, they've been talking about this topic for days in a row recently, it's almost like an obsession.

Albert never doubted the potential of the three of them. As long as they continued to practice, they might be able to master the Patronus Charm earlier than Harry Potter.

After entering the village of Hogsmeade, the carriage began to slow down and finally stopped at the train station in Hogsmeade.

After people got off the train, they packed their luggage and rushed towards the open train doors.

Most of the students chose to go home for Christmas, perhaps terrified by what happened to Black, like last year's attack.

"Mum wanted to invite Harry over to the house for Christmas, but she seemed to think it would be safer to keep Harry at school," muttered Fred.

"This is the price of being a savior!" Albert tightened the towel on his body, raised his wand and directed the luggage to be unloaded from the carriage.

"Come on, let's get on the train if something happens, I don't want to blow the cold wind here." Lee Jordan shivered, pulling his luggage and pushing forward.

The three of them pulled their luggage and rushed towards the door of the carriage. Several train station staff were helping everyone to load their luggage onto the train.

When it was about to be Albert's turn, he suddenly felt that the air around him was colder, and he exhaled white mist from his mouth, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees at once.

"Look over there, there are dementors, they seem to be coming this way."

I don't know who was screaming, and the noise of the entire platform suddenly stopped.

The next moment, the platform suddenly became noisy, and the crowd crowded into the carriage, as if only the carriage could keep them away from those evil monsters.

Even the platform staff who helped carry the luggage were a little flustered. For wizards who didn't master the patron saint, dementors were almost impossible to fight.

People are instinctively afraid of this monster that sucks joy and brings depression and despair to itself.

Crowded, shoved, there was chaos in front of the compartment door.

Damn it!

Albert felt that someone stepped on his foot, his luggage hurt him, and someone behind him was pushing him, almost causing him to fall.

Tom in the cage seemed to feel the restless atmosphere around him and became irritable.

Are all the people at the Ministry of Magic idiots?

Don't they know the consequences of causing chaos in such a place?

He remembered what Fudge had said in Three Broomsticks, that the guy had advocated for the Dementors to enter Hogwarts Castle to "help".

Omg!

What is a dementor, doesn't he know?

To say that Fudge is an idiot is not wrong at all.

"Quiet, stay where you are, everyone stays where you are."

Albert put a finger on Tom's throat after casting an earplug spell on Tom, and the incomparably loud voice resounded throughout the train station.

Albert didn't expect himself to be able to stop everyone, but he could make his voice loud enough that all the students' eardrums hurt, and he had to raise his hands to cover their ears.

There is no doubt that this method works.

The original chaos was suddenly suppressed, and everyone covered their ears in pain, wishing that someone would go and gag the mouth of the shouting guy.

Albert removed his hand from his throat, reached out to pull a fallen girl from the crowd, and at the same time drew out his wand and fired a silver light at the dementors floating around.

The Gryphon seemed to feel Albert's emotions, and rammed directly towards the Dementors, driving them away from the students.

The dementors roared angrily, seeming annoyed that someone was getting in the way of their official duties, but they still had no intention of leaving.

Albert's Patronus looks a bit lonesome and not as powerful as he imagined. This is actually more because the summoning place is too hasty.

Fred, George and Lee Jordan also raised their wands and tried to summon the Patronus, but they could only summon a silver mist, which was of no use at all.

At this moment, a silver white fox flew into the air in the carriage, and the two patron saints suddenly kept the surrounding dementors away from the train.

"What the hell are you doing?"

The two Aurors hurried towards this side, apparently noticing what was happening here.

It never occurred to them that someone would interfere with the Dementors' routine inspections, which no one would dare to do under normal circumstances.

After all, very few wizards master the Patronus Charm.

"I also want to ask what the hell you guys are doing." Albert handed the luggage to Fred next to him and the Tom cat cage to George. When he tried to clear the crowd, the students around him took the initiative to let him go. out of the way.

Albert walked up to the young Auror and asked in a more indifferent tone than the other party: "What the hell are you doing, why did you let the dementors come here, do you intend to treat us as food for the dementors? ?"

"These Dementors are just doing business," the young Auror said in a standard tone. "You are interfering with the Ministry of Magic's business."

"Let the Dementors suck the joy of the students, leading to chaos, crowding, shoving, stomping on each other. Don't tell me, that's how the Ministry of Magic keeps Hogwarts students safe." Burt's tone couldn't help but raise a little bit, making people feel his dissatisfaction clearly, and it also aroused other people's emotions very well.

Sometimes, what is missing is a leader.

The young Auror seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by another Auror as he noticed that all the students were glaring at them.

"Go away, we don't need Dementor protection."

I don't know who took the lead and screamed, and then someone threw something at the two Aurors, and a big dung ball slapped the young Auror directly.

"Fuck it and get in the way of official business!"

"A bunch of trash, haven't caught Black for so long."

...

The young Auror's face was ashen, and he raised his hand to block what was thrown.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to leave, and also drew out his wand, he didn't know who was hiding in the crowd and threw magic at the two Aurors.

In the commotion just now, many people were knocked and bruised, and there was nowhere to vent their anger. This is a good time. Everyone's dissatisfaction was suddenly detonated.

Before the young Auror could react, the other grabbed his arm and Apparated away before more magic was thrown at them.
