I swung my greatsword at Hogwarts

Immortality is something to be pursued no matter where it is.

But the Sorcerer's Stone can do it. Although it is not strictly immortal, it is enough.

"If there is a magic stone, it will be of great help to me in refining things."

Of course, John was just thinking about it.

The Sorcerer's Stone seems to be something in legends, but no one has seen it in reality.

But this reminded John that he could start with alchemy, and maybe he could master "Fairy Casting" faster.

"Maybe there are in the restricted area, I can go and have a look."

Just as he said, John cast a layer of illusion spell on himself.

He left the Room of Requirement and approached the library on the fifth floor.

To make sure he wouldn't be caught, John took out the Marauder's Map.

"Harry is out?"

John saw Harry coming out of Gryffindor Tower and guessed that he was out for a night tour.

Looking at his direction, it seems that he has the same purpose as himself.

But when he reached the restricted area, John didn't see Harry.

Strangely enough, he saw the latch in the restricted area open automatically.

"Invisibility Cloak."

With the answer in his mind, John remembered that Harry had an Invisibility Cloak, and now it seems that he has received it.

John followed behind before the door closed.

He wanted to play tricks in his heart, and he was not in a hurry to show himself, but watched Harry take off the invisibility cloak.

The lantern in Harry's hand was swinging back and forth on the bookshelf, looking for traces of Nicole Flamel. He was so nervous that he even heard vague whispers from the book, and he didn't know if it was a hallucination or real.

Searching in this vast bookcase, Harry had to find a place to start.

He placed the lamp carefully on the ground, and looked along the bottom of the bookshelf, looking for an interesting book.

Suddenly he saw a large black and silver book and pulled it out forcefully without thinking.

"stop!"

It was too late for John to stop when he saw the book, Harry was startled when he heard the low cry, and subconsciously opened the book.

"what--!"

A horrific, blood-curdling scream pierced the silence.

The whole book was screaming, and Harry felt his ears sting and slammed the book shut.

But it was too late, the screaming didn't stop, and Harry backed away nervously, knocking the lamp over.

Panicked, he no longer cared about the voice of what he just said.

Putting the book back on the shelf, he put on his invisibility cloak and ran outside.

Filch came at the sound with fury in his eyes, and Harry slipped right under his outstretched arms.

Harry, who was running wildly all the way, was in a panic, and without the lantern, he couldn't tell where he was.

At last he stopped in front of a tall suit of armor, and heard Filch's voice whispering in his ears.

Snape and Filch came around the corner, and Harry could only step back and squeeze into an open door on the left, careful not to make a sound.

Harry, who was leaning against the wall, heard the sound of footsteps fading away, took a deep breath, loosened it, and took off the invisibility cloak.

Just when he thought he was all right and wanted to take a look at the room, the false wooden door was opened.

Harry didn't see anyone coming in, he felt as if he was haunted.

The hairs on his body stood up, and he backed away in fear.

Suddenly, Harry was touched on the shoulder, and his mouth was about to scream, and his mouth was covered with a hand.

"Shh, you'll get us points deducted for doing this."

"John?"

Harry heard a familiar voice, turned his head to look, and John seemed to appear out of nowhere.

John was helpless, he knew that he wouldn't have made such a fuss just now, and now Snape knew that someone went to the library and wandered there all the time.

"That voice just now was you? How did you do it? You also have an invisibility cloak?"

The three consecutive questions showed how surprised Harry was. John was a little dizzy and changed the subject and said, "Why don't we take a look at this place first? I haven't been here yet."

Hearing what he said, Harry only started to pay attention to this place.

It looked like an abandoned classroom, with many desks and chairs piled up against the wall, forming a large group of dark shadows.

There was also an upside-down wastebasket, and on the wall facing them was something out of place.

John noticed the mirror too, a very imposing mirror, very high, almost as high as the ceiling.

The ornate golden frame is supported by two claw-shaped feet.

There was also a line at the top, which John read, "Eris Stella Uhru Aitubi Kafru Aition Voorhees."

A very weird mirror.

Being a Gryffindor, Harry walked through it without fear.

The next second, Harry stood in front of the mirror, terrified.

"what happened?"

John walked over without knowing why, Harry's breathing became short of breath, and the blood on his face quickly faded.

"There are many people in the mirror, at least a dozen or so, and they are all behind me."

John was taken aback by Harry's words, and he leaned over to take a look.

Nothing... no!

John looked at tables of heavenly delicacies appearing next to him in the mirror in front of him, his eyes widened.

Rubbing his eyes, John looked again, and he was already enjoying the food.

Not only that, John in the mirror is wearing a gorgeous wizard robe, looks like he is in his 20s, holds an old wand that symbolizes power in his hand, and wears the Order of Merlin First Class Medal on his chest.

The plot about this mirror came back in memory, and John said to himself: "Mirror of Erised?"

Didn't he remember that the mirror appeared at the end? Why did it appear now?

"John, I feel like they are my family."

Harry saw a gentle and beautiful woman behind himself in the mirror, her smiling eyes were full of kindness.

Beside the woman was a man with black hair and glasses, his hair was as disheveled as Harry's.

Harry felt that they were his parents, not only his parents, but other relatives, and they had the same green eyes as Harry.

These were the things Harry wanted the most, and he stared hungrily at the mirror, not wanting to look away for a moment.

Put your hands on the mirror, as if you can go inside and reunite with your loved ones.

Seeing that he was dazed, John pulled him away from the mirror.

"We should leave, Filch and the others will come back."

Although a little reluctant, Harry still agreed with this sentence.

He put on the invisibility cloak and invited John to leave together. John smiled and said mysteriously, "I don't need it."

Taking out his wand and waving it lightly, John disappeared in front of Harry.

The startled Harry tentatively called, "John, are you still there?"

"Of course."

There was a response in front of him, Harry reached out and touched John's face.

"Be careful, you almost poked my eye."

Hearing this, Harry put away his hands resentfully.

Before leaving the room, John stopped and looked at the mirror. There seemed to be a silver-haired old man there, but he disappeared after blinking.

"Dumbledore?"

Don't think he was wrong, John suddenly realized that this thing was put in by Dumbledore.

That being the case, Harry shouldn't be in danger.

Parting ways with Harry at the top of the stairs, John went to the restricted area, found an ancient alchemy "Supreme Alchemy" and took it back to the dormitory.

After just watching for a while, he felt a little dizzy.

The content inside is too esoteric, just like "Fairy Casting", it needs a lot of foundation for laying the groundwork.

"If you can't chew too much, you still have to start from the grassroots step by step."

Putting the book under the pillow, John opened the Marauder's Map, and Quirrell walked outside Hogwarts.

John hesitated a little, whether he wanted to follow the past to see.

But after thinking about it, he dismissed it.

Not to mention Voldemort, the professor Quirrell alone is not something he can deal with.

Unless it is unexpected, the magic power gap between the two is still too large.

And John didn't have an attack similar to the Killing Curse, and if his identity was found out, he might be close to death.

The Christmas holidays are not over yet.

During the period, John went to the library a few more times and took away a lot of books on basic alchemy.

During this period of time, he frantically supplemented his knowledge of alchemy, but this was not enough.

However, a record of Nicole Flamel was found in a book about ancient alchemy.

"Nicole Flamel, the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone."

Seeing this book, John's thoughts surged.

He remembered that what Harry Potter guarded in his first grade was the Sorcerer's Stone.

And this thing can save John a lot of time and directly use the top alchemy.

"The Philosopher's Stone..."

Touching the records about the Philosopher's Stone, the idea of ​​immortality flashed across his mind, and then disappeared.

He remembered that immortality had great side effects, not only draining emotions, but more importantly, making the body very fragile.

It would be better to kill John than to live forever.

"Perhaps tell Harry about them."

Harry and the others are almost giving up these days.
