068 Back at Hogwarts

The rest of the time was very good for Hugo and his siblings, because their homework was completed before Christmas, so they lived a very fulfilling time during this period. In addition to their parents' company, they also spent a lot of time here at Hood to complete a lot of practical magical learning.

In the process of learning magic, practical operations are actually as important as theoretical knowledge, and the prohibition of the use of magic during holidays is obviously not conducive to Hugo and other wizards. So for those born in ordinary families, it is actually very precious to have such a place to practice magic during holidays and provide guidance. This allows them to close as far as possible with students from wizard families.

During this period, Harry, who had to swear to find out who Nicolomai was, was completely immersed in the phantom of family reunion created by Eris's magic mirror. Until Dumbledore, who had been paying attention to him, appeared and woke him up, he barely got rid of this dream.

But no matter what, time always passes quickly, especially those wonderful times. Soon, the Christmas holiday ended. Hugo and Hermione's reluctant parents and friends such as Hood, and then boarded the Hogwarts Express. After getting on the bus, he found that most of the people in the bus looked in a good mood. It seemed that everyone had a good Christmas.

When he returned to Hogwarts Castle again, Hugo felt that it was as happy as when he was back home. Especially Professor Flevy, who was very concerned about the daily life of students, in order to welcome everyone to return to school, he borrowed a batch of magical plants that could calm the mind and emit silver-blue light at night, suspended in the air in the public lounge, filling the room with a faint fragrance.

Hugo received another surprise when he had dinner the next day. As the most important meal on the first day of school, the house elves obviously spent a lot of effort to make the sumptuousness of this dinner second only to those festivals and school dinners.

During the meal, everyone took this opportunity to communicate with each other and started their holiday itineraries. After all, it was a bit late when we came back last night, and today we had classes during the day. So it was during this dinner that everyone had enough time and energy to exchange their holiday life.

Although the little wizards of Ravenclaw may be boring in normal times. At this time, everyone is in the excitement that the holiday has just ended, so they quickly got together and talked about how they spent the holidays. For Hugo and the little wizards born in the ordinary world, listening quietly to the little wizards from the wizard family said that how they spent Christmas can increase their understanding of the world of wizards.

Hugo, who had eaten and drank, gained a lot of knowledge, quickly left the table with Venetto and Hermione and prepared to return to the common room to prepare for tomorrow's courses. As a result, when he walked to the foyer, he met Harry and Ron, who were also ready to return to the common room after dinner.

"Hey, Hugo, how are you doing this holiday?" After all, everyone had experiences of taking risks together before, and they often met with Hagrid. So at this time, Harry was so enthusiastic like Hugo and the others greeted him.

"Of course it's good. Although there is no magic in the world of Muggles, spending Christmas in that place may be a little boring than in the world of wizards. But it's always a good thing to be able to spend the holidays with relatives and friends."

"You're right-" Harry nodded, then started to greet Hugo and the others. After a few minutes, after the whole atmosphere became active, he suddenly thought of Hugo and asked. "By the way, the previous Nicolemay-"

"Are you talking about Nicholas Flammel? I've found some of his information." Hugo said the name in French, but saw Harry and Ron's eyes at the same time, so he quickly explained. "The Nick Lemay you said is the English name of this name."

"Finished." Ron widened his eyes and looked shocked. "But you said just now that you have been staying in the Muggle world during the holidays, so where did you get news about Nicolemay—"

"Sorry." As soon as Ron finished speaking, Harry suddenly pulled his arm and stopped him from talking. Because he was still abused since he was a child, Harry was relatively mature in dealing with people. Naturally, he knew that Ron was obviously inappropriate to say this.

"Nothing." Hugo smiled and shook his hand. He knew that Ron was the kind of person who often ran faster than his thinking, so he would not be angry at this kind of thing. "But this person is also very famous in the Muggle world. According to the stories circulating on us, he obtained a book called "The Book of Abraham of the Jews" and then made a Philosopher's Stone."

"In legend, he gained a lot of wealth after making the Philosopher's Stone, and then built fourteen hospitals in Paris, building and repairing the church. Finally, he died in his hometown at the age of 87. Later generations dug up the graves of him and his wife, but no bodies were found. It is said that he and his wife have become immortal."

"How is this possible, how is it possible?" Ron looked disbelief, "How could a wizard's story be circulated in the Muggle world? There is clearly an international secrets law--"

"You are right. International Secretariat Law naturally prevents wizards from exposing the world of wizards to ordinary people who do not know how to magic. The problem is that this law was signed in 1689, and Nick Lemay's final story in the world of ordinary people ended in 1427, and the secret law did not exist at that time." After hearing Ron's words, Hermione immediately remembered something and refuted.

"Uh-so that's how it is." After being said this, Ron realized his mistake. However, for his sake, he did not apologize, but just stopped and shrank behind Harry. At this time, Hermione began to talk endlessly about the content of a book he remembered just after Hugo mentioned it.

"—I have read the story about him in the book "Historical Celebrity of the British Wizarding World". According to the book, ancient alchemy involved the refining of Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing functions. Magic stones can turn any metal into pure gold, and can also create elixirs of immortality, so that those who drink this medicine will never die."

"There have been many reports on the Philosopher's Stone for many centuries, but the only remaining Philosopher's Stone is currently owned by the famous alchemist and opera lover Mr. Nicoláme. He celebrated his six hundred and sixty-fifth birthday last year and is now living in seclusion in Devon with his 658-year-old wife Perenal."

"That makes sense." After Hermione memorized the contents of the book, Harry said excitedly, "A stone can turn into gold and can make you immortal! No wonder Snape is also thinking about it! Everyone wants it!"
