This was a gift left by Nico Flamel before he left Hogwarts, and he hoped that he could successfully create a second Philosopher's Stone instead of letting this precious skill be completely lost.

"Nicola Flamel's Alchemical Notes?!"

Hermione stared at the black cover, feeling her mouth go dry, and immediately realized its inestimable value.

"Yes, including the complete manufacturing process of the Philosopher's Stone. To be honest, if you don't see it with your own eyes, outsiders will never know how something like the Philosopher's Stone is made."

After that, Zuo Si casually closed the entire notebook without any intention of showing it to the girl.

Because the content in this notebook contains many parts about making black magic items, it is not suitable for an eleven or twelve year old girl to read.

Facts have proved that all wizards are capable of some so-called black magic.

The older the wizard and the longer he lives, the more in-depth his research in this area will be.

In Nico Flamel's notes, cutting off the hands of a hanged man and using them to make "Hands of Glory" was nothing.

There are many heavy-tasting things among them, which are not even much worse than Faerun's necromancy magic.

Especially in his exploration of life and death, this alchemist has gone deeper and further than most wizards.

"So...you are now a disciple of the greatest alchemist, Nicolas Flamel?" Hermione's tone revealed strong envy.

Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "No, my relationship with Nico Flamel is not what you think, but closer to mutual exchange of experiences in alchemy and making magic items. He handed this notebook to

Give it to me, mainly because you don’t want your research to be lost after death. Well, don’t stare at this notebook all the time, it’s not something you can touch now.”

"When can it be done?" Hermione asked impatiently.

"At least third grade. It depends on your growth rate. After all, alchemy is very dangerous, and it is much more difficult to learn than spells or potions."

After thinking for a while, Zuo Si gave a deadline.

Because starting from the third grade, the teaching materials of Hogwarts begin to have a clear trend from elementary to advanced.

Some spells and potions that even adult wizards may not be able to master are taught at this stage.

Of course, it is not known how much one can truly learn from teaching.

Anyway, the results of the O.W.Ls exam will not lie.

In fact, out of a bad taste, Zuo Si even planned to wait a year or two to sell an exercise book called "Three Years Owls and Five Years Newts" to the students at Hogwarts, so that these little wizards could feel the magic.

The tragic involution of students in the melon world.

Just like this, in the midst of relaxed chatting, the Hogwarts Express arrived at its destination unknowingly.

When they walked out of platform nine and three-quarters, the Grangers immediately hugged their daughter and asked about the difference between the magical world and the ordinary world.

When Hermione finished answering all the questions and turned around to look for Zuo Si, she was shocked to find that he had already disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

"Hermione, what are you looking at?" Mr. Granger asked very curiously.

"I'm looking for a classmate to come back with.

His name is South, and like me, he comes from a Muggle family.

But within just a few months of being exposed to the magical world, he has made amazing achievements.

He also pioneered the invention of spell storage technology.

Many wizard newspapers and media even claimed that he will be a great wizard leading an era in the future.

Did you know? He can even read a book in just a few minutes and then memorize the entire book backwards..."

As soon as Zuo Si was mentioned, the girl immediately talked non-stop, her eyes showing unabashed admiration.

Seeing their daughter's appearance, Mr. and Mrs. Granger immediately exchanged a look, and then burst into laughter.

Hermione asked in astonishment: "Why are you laughing?"

"No, it's nothing. We just didn't expect that you, who have always been smart, proud, conceited and stubborn, would actually admire other people. Tell me, is this boy named Soth handsome?" Mrs. Granger said in a tone of voice.

With a hint of joking.

She also thought that with her daughter's personality, she might not be able to make friends if she suddenly changed her environment.

But now it seems that it was all too much to worry about.

"Oops! What are you talking about! We are just classmates and friends, not what you think. As for his appearance, there is a Daily Prophet here. You will know after reading it."

With that said, Hermione blushed and quickly took out a copy of the Daily Prophet from her collection and handed it to her parents.

As out-and-out Muggles, it was obviously the first time for Mr. and Mrs. Granger to see a moving photo, and they immediately made a sound of surprise.

However, in order not to arouse the thoughts of others around them, they quickly left the station and got into their car, and then started reading this influential newspaper in the wizarding world in the cab.

When he read Rita Skeeter's disgusting flattery report, Mr. Granger was stunned and immediately asked without looking back: "Hermione, can this classmate of yours really do this?"

Read a book in a few minutes and then recite it word by word backwards?"

The girl responded without thinking: "Of course! I have tested it myself.

I think that even if Soth fails to become a wizard, he will at least become a very powerful scientist.

Because since I was a child, I have never seen anyone as smart as him.

It seems that no matter what kind of knowledge, you can learn it immediately after reading it once.

Half of the spells I master now were taught to me by him.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you.

When I was in school, I earned a lot of gold galleons by working as Zuo Si's assistant."

While she was talking, Hermione quickly took out a homemade leather bag from her suitcase, and then threw it onto the car seat.

Instantly!

There is a small golden mountain piled on top of this.

"Oh my God! How much is this... how much is this?" Mrs. Granger suddenly exclaimed.

"Maybe four thousand, maybe five thousand, I haven't counted it specifically. But it should be enough to pay for the next semester." Hermione gave a rough number.

Unlike the Weaslaiga twins who joined later, since she had been helping Zuo Si from the beginning, she naturally received extra large bonuses.

Especially custom-made "staff rings" with reliefs and emblems for ancient families from Britain, France, and Germany can often earn profits of three to four thousand, or even five thousand gold galleons each.

"What is the main job of an assistant?" Mr. Granger had a puzzled look on his face.

As a dentist, he is originally a high-income group in society, so he has no idea how he can make so much money in a short period of time.

What's more, they are still two students from a magic school.

According to the exchange rate given by Gringotts, one galleung is equal to five pounds.

Five thousand galleons is equivalent to approximately twenty-five thousand pounds.

This was definitely a huge sum of money in 1991, even the total income of many middle-class families without food or water for a year.

Hermione obviously noticed her father's reaction and explained with a smile: "Thos invented a device that can be put on a wand and store a spell.

This device can give wizards a certain advantage in duels and defense against enemy attacks.

Therefore, many wealthy and powerful ancient European families came to him to make custom orders.

On average, Soth can make a very generous profit for every one produced.

My task is to help process the materials and shape the metals into the patterns and shapes required by the customer through deformation magic.

Professor McGonagall also praised me, saying that my transformation magic is at least as good as that of a fourth grade student."

"My little Hermione is great! Mom is so proud of you! It seems you have really made good friends in school." Mrs. Granger excitedly held her daughter in her arms.

Mr. Granger also smiled happily and nodded: "This boy named Soth is really good. Why don't you invite him to spend Christmas together?"

"I invited him. But he has a lot of things to do during the holidays, and he also has to buy a lot of things, so he doesn't have time to celebrate Christmas." Hermione spread her hands helplessly.

"Haha! Don't be discouraged! You can also invite him to play at home during the holidays after the semester. I also want to see what peers of the same age can make you convinced."

After saying that, Mr. Granger glanced at the photo of Zuo Si in the Daily Prophet from the corner of his eye, then quickly started the car and drove away.

After all, the weather in London in December is wet and cold. Except for homeless people, not many normal people are willing to stay outdoors for too long.

……

At the same time, Zuo Si also used apparation to return to the house he bought in London.

Although the Ministry of Magic monitors all underage wizards, for him, it is easier to avoid them than to eat and drink.

You can use prophecy magic to block tracking, or you can use a second wand you make yourself.

Yes!

Not long after school started, Zuo Si secretly found a piece of wood that could be used to make a wand at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and made himself a spare wand in case of emergency.

When he opened the door and walked into the living room, Yelnia, the shadow assassin who was staying here, immediately appeared, put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.

"Master, you are back."

"Did nothing happen during my absence?"

Zuo Si asked while waving his wand to cast a cleaning spell to clean up the dust on the floor, table and bed.
