I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 48

In the following days, while Orlando worked hard to learn alchemy, he opened a furnace to make alchemy, such as Shen Yuan Dan for nourishing and convincing;

These elixirs are more or less helpful for the cultivation of the soul, among which the longevity pill has the best effect.

Nicole Flamel, who was originally on the verge of collapse, not only regained vitality in his physical body after taking the Renyuan Pill, his hair turned from white to black, and his soul injury was also greatly improved.

This effect made Orlando overjoyed, and the only thing that made him feel pity was that the refining of Renyuan Pill was extremely difficult.

Now that they have their own medicine garden, there is no shortage of medicinal materials, but there are several other natural chemicals-hardware and eight stones, but natural minerals are extremely rare.

Nicole Flamel used a lot of connections to get a little bit, which was only enough to refine a Human Yuan Pill. Fortunately, Orlando made full preparations before starting the furnace for refining, and finally lived up to expectations and did not waste the only materials. It was successfully refined once.

When you are busy, time always flies by, and in a blink of an eye, it is the start of the school season again, and Orlando has to pack up and prepare to return to school.Before that, he had to go home and stay with his family for two days.

As soon as he got home, Orlando suffered a lot. He was busy making alchemy and forgot what he promised Emily.

No, she yelled at him as soon as he got home, pulled his arm and didn't let go, she was so wronged that she shed tears, no matter what Orlando explained, she just didn't listen, and it was useless to coax him with a bunch of good things. Orlando scratched his head.

Knowing that Emily is very interested in magic, Orlando took out his trump card, and saw that he clasped his hands, and a ball of lightning appeared in the middle of his palm. With the rotation of his fingers, the ball of lightning turned into a mountain eagle circling around Emily flew up.

Sure enough, this trick was very effective in coaxing the child. Emily stopped crying in an instant, and followed the eagle with teary eyes, "Can I touch it?" Emily asked curiously.

"Of course not. It is transformed from the element of lightning magic. I combined with soul magic to give it vitality. Of course, its essence has not changed, so it is best not to touch it."

"Did Grandpa Nick teach you this?"

"That's right!" Orlando touched his nose.

"Why can't I be like you?" Emily was very envious, and she also wanted to learn magic like her brother.

Every time Emily asks this question, Orlando gets a headache.

"Emily, do you really want to learn magic so much?"

"Think about it." Emily looked at him expectantly with wide eyes.

"I can't do anything now. When I improve my soul magic attainments, I might be able to refine spiritual medicine. This is a method I saw in ancient magic books, which can greatly improve people's spiritual power. Maybe at that time You can learn magic."

"Really? Is it really possible?"

"According to the records in the ancient books, there should be no problem."

"So when can you start?"

"Maybe a few years." Orlando said with some uncertainty.

"How many years?" Emily said with some disappointment, but she didn't embarrass him anymore. She knew that Orlando was telling the truth.

Although she doesn't know much about magic, during the period of contact with Nicole Flamel, she more or less understands that it is extremely difficult to change a person's talent.

If a person's talent could be changed casually, the number of wizards would not be so small, and there would not be so many squibs in the wizarding world.

"Don't worry, you have to trust me. With my growth rate, it may take a few years to do it."

"Yeah, Orlando, you have to work hard!" Emily smiled through tears and encouraged.

"Emily, have you forgotten something?" Edward, the father beside him, jokingly said when he saw that the siblings had reconciled.

"what?"

Stunned for a moment, Emily seemed to suddenly remember something, then slapped her forehead, ran upstairs, took a stack of envelopes, and ran down again.

"Here, these are all your letters, I didn't peek." Emily looked proud, as if she had done something remarkable.

Orlando went through them one by one. Some were congratulations on his award of the Medal of Merlin, and some were for making friends. He took a quick glance at these and put them aside. One from Min, one from Ron, it seemed Harry was in trouble and they couldn't reach him.

Orlando calculated the time. The letter was sent ten days ago. According to the progress of the plot, Harry should have been out of trouble by now.Forget it, school starts the day after tomorrow, so there is no need to write letters now.

After staying at home for two days, Orlando bid farewell to his parents and boarded the plane to London alone.

Ever since he saw Nicole Flamel's strength, Edward believed that his son's world was no longer something his father could interfere with, and he was extremely confident in his son's ability.

Only mother Mary was still a little worried. In her eyes, Riolando was still only a 12-year-old child, so she kept complaining about Edward being lazy and not fulfilling his father's responsibility.

Orlando arrived at King's Cross station with a suitcase alone, and looked at his watch at 28:[-]. It was still early, should he wait for Harry and the others.Orlando looked at the crowded crowd, thought about it, and forgot, if everything was settled by him, what's the point?

Shaking his head, Orlando walked across platform nine and three quarters with his suitcase.Just right, the train just pulled into the station.

"Orlando, Orlando, here..."

Hearing Hermione's voice from a distance, she was queuing up to get on the bus, and Orlando squeezed through the crowd.

"Orlando, where did you go during the summer vacation? Why didn't you reply to my letter?"

"Oh, I went to study with the teacher, and I wasn't at home. It was already the day before yesterday when I saw the letter."

"I guess so." Hermione said enviously. "After all, your teacher is a legendary alchemist of the famous generation. There must be a lot to learn, right?"

"It's okay, the car stopped, let's find a place to sit!" Orlando didn't want to get entangled in this issue, and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Orlando, why are you still sitting here? Go to the prefect's first class."

"Huh? Wood, what's going on?"

"Don't you know yet? In order to reflect your status as an assistant professor, Professor Binns specially added a prefect first class for you. Just now, the Slytherin prefects were still angry about this matter." After finishing speaking, Wood patted him on the shoulder and walked down the corridor.

To be honest, Orlando is not very interested in this special treatment. He is here to learn, and he does not want to waste too much time and energy on these trivial matters.

"Orlando, you'd better go to the prefect's first class!" Seeing that he didn't move, Hermione added. "I'm here by myself, it's okay."

"Having to drag the salute, too much trouble, which is fine. Where's Harry? And Ron? Did you see them?"

"Hey, I really didn't see them. Could it be that they missed the train?" Hermione looked at her watch and became anxious. "The train is about to start. They must be in some trouble, right?"

Orlando, who successfully changed the subject, opened a pack of chocolate frogs, took out the magic card inside, looked at it, and said, "Nine times out of ten, we are in trouble, otherwise we shouldn't have missed the train."

While talking, the train had already started, and Orlando looked at the deserted platform and was sure that Harry and Ron had missed the train.

"I'll ask the Weasley twins, I just saw them, on the train with Percy." Hermione anxiously tucked her wand into her sleeve and ran out slowly.

Orlando shrugged and continued to eat his chocolate frogs. This semester, he had to collect 100 different cards, otherwise Emily would have a catastrophe.

Looking at a large package of unopened chocolate frogs on the table, he thought it was delicious, but he suddenly felt that it was not delicious.

"Why don't you share it with everyone, anyway, I just want the card." Orlando thought so.

The train passed through a flat green field and then a vast purple swamp, and Orlando looked up out of the window and could vaguely see a dark spot passing through the clouds.

"Orlando, what are you reading?" Hermione put down the book in her hand and asked curiously.

"Look, what is that?"

Looking in the direction Orlando pointed, Hermione couldn't believe her eyes—a car was flying at a low altitude, and she could vaguely see a figure in the window.

"That is--."

"It should be them, hehe, I didn't expect them to drive through the air in broad daylight." Orlando said cheerfully.

"They will be seen by the common people, they will cause panic in the society, and they will be caught by the Aurors and put in jail." Hermione turned pale with fright, "Orlando, think of a way to save them."

Hermione grabbed Orlando's arm and squeezed her hands tightly, looking extremely flustered.

"Don't be nervous, Hermione. Harry and Ron are underage. Even if they make mistakes, they will be punished by the school. It's not up to the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to take care of them."

"But they'll be expelled from school."

"Don't worry, no, trust me."

"why?"

"Just because Harry is the savior!"

"What time is it, you still have time to joke around." Hermione was upset.

"What I said is true, otherwise why do you think Professor Dumbledore would take such a fancy to Harry?"

"Dumbledore, are you saying—"

"Yes, when a new generation replaces an old one, there must be a new one to replace it, isn't it? Besides, Dumbledore is getting old, so he has to cultivate a few successors!" Orlando unwrapped the chocolate frog comfortably, which was already his It's the tenth time I've eaten.

"Come on, help me eat this." Pulling out the card inside, Orlando stuffed the bag into Hermione's hand, "If you can eat it all, these are yours on the table, of course the magic card will be left to me."

Hermione was shocked by Orlando's words. She hadn't recovered from the news of her successor, but mechanically obeyed Orlando's instructions, and took the chocolate frog and put it in her mouth.

"Why not you?" Hermione still couldn't figure it out. Orlando was much better than Harry. She didn't want to say that, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity.

"Because I was appointed by others, and I am not suitable."

"Is it an appointment? Is it Nicole Flamel?"

"Well, it's best not to let Harry know about our conversation today."

Hermione was about to speak.

"Don't ask me why, because I don't know, but I can still perceive Dumbledore's intentions, so all this is based on my guess, even if you tell Harry, it will only be bad for him. benefit."

"Well, Orlando, you know more than us, and you think deeper, I think you're right." When Hermione said this, she was still a little unwilling, as if there was an invisible thread leading them away, It's a bad feeling.

"Okay, don't think too much. If you want to change the status quo, then work hard. Only when you become stronger can you break the cage, break the shackles, and do whatever you want."

"Is that why you're trying to find power?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Yes and no, I seek power to defend the way, to defend my way of longevity." When he said this, Orlando had a decisive taste.

The train was driving fast, passing along the winding mountains, and after rounding a snow-capped mountain, they lost sight of the vehicle.

"They won't have an accident." Hermione, who kept watching all the way, poked her head out to look at the sky again.

"Don't worry, as long as they are not stupid, there will be no major problems."

Putting down the book in his hand, Orlando rubbed his eyes. What he was reading now was a notebook about alchemy, which was filled with dense runes. Due to the age, many papers were damp, the ink faded, and the handwriting was blurred. Clearly, you have to work hard to avoid misreading, so after a long time, your eyes are very dry.

"I hope they won't be stupid." Hermione said worriedly.

"Do people always grow up? How to grow up without making mistakes." Orlando disagreed.

"It's easy for you to say, they're not you." Hermione rolled her eyes, contemptuous of Orlando's indifferent attitude.

Just then, Percy walked in.

"Orlando, I've been waiting for you for a long time, but I haven't seen you. If Wood hadn't told me that you were here, I would have to look around again." Percy was out of breath as he ran. "Follow me to the prefect's compartment."

"Where are you going? It's pretty good here."

Percy said with some embarrassment: "This is the rule of Hogwarts, and this is the treatment you should enjoy as an assistant professor."

"Orlando, just go, don't embarrass Percy." Hermione persuaded.

"Okay then, I'll leave these chocolate frogs to you, remember to leave the magic card for me."

"Go, go." Hermione waved her hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

The prefect's car was in the front section of the train. Orlando dragged his suitcase and followed Percy and entered the car. There was no compartment here, but a large room like a conference hall, with leather sofas in it, front and back There are two rows, arranged opposite each other, with four tables in the middle, corresponding to the four colleges, each with two seats, and seven people are already seated.

"Where do I sit?"

"Sit here." Percy led him to the middle seat, where there is a separate sofa, a table is also separate, there is a luggage rack next to it, and behind it is a row of self-service tea, which can be seen as a temporary addition .

"This time I'm in a hurry. According to Professor Binns' request, I will set up a separate room for you."

"It doesn't matter, it's pretty good here, there's food and drink, I'm quite satisfied."

"As long as you are satisfied, it will be time for dinner soon. You can eat more, there is no limit on the train." Percy explained.

Diagonally across from the Slytherin prefect, a tall and thin girl sneered when she heard this, and said to the male companion next to her, "You know what to eat."
