I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - #158 - Chapter 158 Activated Alchemy, unexpected product

Ian left the candy store and walked straight to the Leaky Cauldron.

He was not just making up an excuse just now. He really had something to ask Old Tom. About a week ago, he asked Old Tom to help find a clerk. He calculated the date and it would be a good time to go and see the situation.

The most important thing is that this will also leave enough time for Hermione to repair her alchemy work.

Ian is very aware of the difficulty of activated alchemy, which is infinitely close to creation. At most, ordinary activated items will move on their own, or say a few words mechanically, just like the full-length mirror in the Leaky Cauldron, which comes and goes with just those few words.

However, powerful activated alchemy items seem to have their own thoughts and can even think about problems. One of the most amazing activated items known is the Hogwarts Sorting Hat. This hat has been passed down for thousands of years, and no one dares to underestimate its wisdom.

…

Ian came to the Leaky Cauldron Bar and successfully saw Old Tom behind the bar. Perhaps because it was approaching the start of school, Her Highness Hannah did not continue to work part-time at the bar.

“I even thought you had forgotten. If you don’t come again, I plan to go find you.” Old Tom said half-jokingly after seeing Ian. “I’ve found someone for you. Although he’s not very smart, he’s reliable.”

“Merlin’s socks, how could I forget what we agreed on?” Ian quickly defended, never mentioning that he really forgot about it.

“As long as the person is reliable, it doesn’t matter if he is not smart. For things like collecting money and giving change, I will keep the house elf and find a clerk just to support the facade.”

Old Tom nodded upon hearing this. “That’s good. This child’s life experience is quite rough. Both his parents were persecuted 12 years ago. After studying at Hogwarts on financial aid, he went to live alone in the Muggle world.”

Speaking of this, Old Tom’s tone was obviously a bit sad. “He obviously underestimated the Muggle world and overestimated himself… In short, he is a kind boy.”

“Kindness is enough.” Ian did not ask for detailed experience, just like when Old Tom took him in, he did not ask for detailed experience.

“I can pay him five galleons a week, but he has to find a place to live at night. If possible, let him come to me as soon as possible. I will probably stay until the end of August.”

The weekly salary of 5 galleons was also the answer that Ian considered repeatedly, compared with the remuneration originally offered by Madam Magic Gold.

Therefore, he is very willing to pass on this kindness. Inadvertent good deeds often bring unexpected rewards, even if he does not ask for anything in return.

The most typical one is himself. If Old Tom and Mrs. Magic Gold ask, he will really try his best to help.

“Hahaha, it’s a very generous reward. I will ask him to come down to see you now. During this period, he has been living here.” Old Tom said with a smile.

…

By the time Ian returned to the candy store, two hours had passed.

He also met the clerk that Old Tom was looking for, Munk Avery, a thin young man who looked like he had been malnourished for a long time, and his face was full of green spots. The only advantage is that his facial features are relatively coordinated and he is a bit handsome, but his expression is a bit dull.

Although according to Old Tom, the other party is almost 20 years old, in Ian’s opinion, 17 years old is a bit high.

When he returned to the second floor, he did not find Hermione. He only saw the brown box on the table and a piece of parchment with a corner pressed down.

Ignoring the box, Ian picked up the parchment, and what came into view was Hermione’s handsome handwriting, which only wrote three or four lines. The general content was that she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t purchased books for the new school year yet, so she went out alone to do the shopping, so there was no need to worry about her. There were repaired alchemy items in the box…

“School has started…” Ian sighed with emotion. Unknowingly, it was already the second school year, and he had lived in the HP world for a full year.

Unlike Hermione, he didn’t need to worry about new books for the school year. After ransacking the underground vault for the first time in the apocalypse, he turned around and went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to make a big purchase.

He placed an order for any book that he could buy with money. Whether it was textbooks, biographies of literary figures, prose poems, or even Lockhart’s novels, he bought them all. The main one was a murderer. No mistakes were made.

After putting down the parchment, he turned his attention to the box on the table and gently opened the lid. This time there was no complaint. There was a small mechanical clock of about 12 inches quietly placed inside.

The most eye-catching thing is the smart eyes and simple and cute facial features above the clock. Coupled with the short limbs, it looks cute no matter how you look at it.

Seeing the box being opened, Zhongzhong raised his arm and rubbed his eyes with his hands, as if wiping away the non-existent tears, and then said in a childish voice:

“I am a well-behaved clock. I am the most obedient. I don’t talk nonsense, and I am not an evil witch. I can only tell the time, and now I will tell the time…”

Hearing these remarks, which were almost named, Ian’s eyes twitched unconsciously. He almost understood, and Hermione probably felt that she couldn’t fix this thing, so she left a note to avoid embarrassment, euphemistically saying – go out to buy books.

“Okay, so about the clock, do you have a name?” Ian asked with interest. It was also the first time for him to see such an anthropomorphic activated alchemy item, so he really wanted to know where its limits were.

“I feel like you’re not too smart. I’m a clock, and my name is also a clock. Your family still wants to give the clock a separate name?” After saying this, it jumped up and turned over the box with its short legs. He stayed at the table quietly.

At the same time, he said to himself in a childish voice:

“The clock doesn’t want to pay attention to him, it’s too stupid. You can’t chat with him, and you can’t get too close to him, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of my time report.”

After saying that, it even really moved back two steps.

When Ian saw the remarks and behavior of the clock, he became more and more interested. At the same time, I was a little curious as to how Hermione made this thing. This level of activated alchemy could not be made casually.

“Don’t be like this, we can still chat. Besides, you can see that I’m far away from you.”

Ian followed suit and took a few steps back, sitting on the sofa next to the wall.

“A wizard who looks very pitiful, what tragic experiences have you experienced? You are reduced to finding a clock to chat with.” As he spoke, he did not forget to cover his forehead with his small hand, which was above the clock. That little spire.

“But the clock still doesn’t want to pay attention to you. I am a clock and I have a job. I need to tell the time every day. If you are really bored, you can go chat with the evil witch.”

“Hahaha.” These words successfully made Ian laugh out loud. “Although you have a job, I don’t need you to tell the time now. Why don’t we talk about the evil witch and see how evil she is.”

Ian thought that after he brought up this topic, he would be able to resonate with the clock. Who knew that this guy instantly became silent. If it weren’t for those little eyes that kept blinking, he would have even thought that the other person had died.

“Oh? Are you so interested in the evil witch? I can chat with you.”

A cold voice came from behind, causing his previous joy to disappear all of a sudden, and his whole body froze.
