Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy - Chapter 464

This time Fleur did not stand unsteady. She withdrew her right wrist that was grabbed by Wright and was busy arranging her gorgeous silver hair that was blown askew by the strong wind during the use of the door key. At this time, she had already She completely lost the elegant princess temperament she had in school.
Wright turned around and looked at the man who had just spoken, and saw that he had a droopy face and looked extremely bored. He probably took the job reluctantly. The man held a large gold watch in one hand and a long roll of parchment in the other hand. The automatic writing quill was writing what he just said there, recording the origin and arrival time of Wright and Fleur. .
But what’s noteworthy is not this person’s performance.
But he has a very distinctive red hair.
He is tall, with long hair tied into a ponytail on the back of his head, and a golden earring on his ear, with something like a small fan hanging on it. Under his feet were a pair of boots made of fire dragon skin. Wright could tell at a glance that a lot of anti-jinx magic had been cast on these boots.
Does this outfit look familiar? And such recognizable hair?
Wright frowned slightly and tentatively asked in English: “Weasley?”
“Huh?” The man hummed in confusion. He looked at Wright and stopped speaking in proficient Arabic. Instead, he spoke in English, “How do you know?”
“Your hair color is quite rare, I mean here.” Wright pointed to his head, “And as far as I know, there is only one family in the UK with hair color like this, and that is the Weasleys. Home.”
“Are you from England?” Bill stretched out his hand, “Hogwarts?”
“Well, I’m a student at Hogwarts.” Wright also reached out and shook his hand, “Light Paz.”
“Bill Weasley,” Bill said friendly.
Then he asked with some curiosity: “Sorry, can I ask? Since you are a student of Hogwarts, why are you from Beauxbatons? And as far as I know, Hogwarts does not There are no alchemy classes, and the only people who will come here with portkeys during this period are alchemists from all over the world.”
It can be seen that Bill’s desire to chat is indeed very strong. I wonder if it is because he has not spoken to anyone for a long time.
“I was originally in Hogwarts, but this year I went to Beauxbatons as an exchange student.” Wright said briefly, “As for alchemy, I know a little bit about it.”
“Exchange students? When did there be such a thing between Hogwarts and Beauxbatons? Haven’t we had no communication with them for hundreds of years?” Bill touched his stubbled chin, “Can it be said that in my case? What happened suddenly after leaving school for so many years? Percy didn’t mention these things to me.”
“Oh! Look at my head!” Suddenly, Bill patted his forehead, “I just said too much, I should have introduced myself.”
“Bill Weasley is a Curse Breaker. He originally worked at Gringotts, but the goblins thought that my work was related to the pyramids and to alchemy, so they sent me to deal with the alchemy here. What I didn’t expect was that they asked me to do a job like a registrar!” Bill said helplessly, “But I think you’d better get out of the way now. Someone will come from the United States later. Come over here…”
“The United States…” Wright said incomprehensibly, “also got here through a portkey?”
“Um.”
“No mid-transition or anything?”
“You know, American wizards have always been bolder. This may be a way they use to control population growth.” Bill said humorously.
Wright couldn’t help but shook his head.
“Thank you, Mr. Weasley.” Wright nodded and asked Fleur, who had already tidied up, to follow him. “Let’s meet again next time.”
Bill just waved his hand coolly, not knowing who he was showing it to.
After they were far away, Fleur asked: “Did that person just graduate from Hogwarts too? I see you guys were having a good time chatting. And he looks pretty cool.”
“Yeah, it’s cool. His name is Bill Weasley, and he is the brother of some of my good friends.” Wright explained, “Like you, he also has a sister who just entered the second grade this year. But other than that , Weasley also has five younger brothers.”
“Five?” Furong asked in surprise, “How come there are so many?”
“Maybe this is also a way they use to control the population growth of the British wizarding world. I can’t say for sure.” Wright said with a smile, “There are many wizards over there who think that the Weasley family reproduces as fast as goblins. Some of them are kind words, but some are also jealous, because there are already many pure-blood wizards who can no longer survive because of the extinction of their bloodlines, but the Weasley family is still flourishing. ”
Soon, Light left the portkey arrival point with Fleur.
In fact, Wright can infer a lot of information from the arrival point.
For example, the scale of the International Alchemy Congress was far from as large as Wright expected, but there are actually certain reasons to explain it.
Quidditch is the most popular sport in the wizarding world. No matter which country they come from, nine out of ten wizards among them will be fans of Quidditch. After all, even China has established a special Quidditch team. Strange World Cup participating teams. (And it seems that he has also reached the World Cup finals)
Therefore, the Quidditch World Cup can easily attract hundreds of thousands of wizards to watch the game. Most of them bring their families to watch together, and people of all ages can attend together.
But compared to Quidditch, alchemy is in what can only be described as a niche within a niche.
Alchemy is a subject that requires a lot of talent. Many schools don’t even offer this course, which naturally prevents many people from entering the door of alchemy.
Furthermore, the training of many alchemists requires a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources.
Alchemy is not transfiguration. Transfiguration can always use a piece of wood to turn a pig into a sheep into a dog, but alchemy requires a large investment of real money. Once a small mistake occurs, the magic materials can easily be damaged and must be purchased again.
As for the magic materials needed to use transfiguration?
Does anyone have a Hogwarts Room of Requirement? Moreover, the duration of the transformation technique itself is limited!
Therefore, I am afraid that not even a thousand people will come to participate in this International Alchemy Conference. This is still a very optimistic estimate.
Wright and Fleur continued walking together for about ten minutes.
Finally, a red line appeared at the end of their sight.
Wright and Fleur looked at each other and stepped forward in unison.
Soon, a huge square made entirely of red rocks appeared within the sight of the two people, and there was no end in sight in the distance.
Wright and Fleur stood among them, just like two tiny ants, not attracting any attention.
At this moment, the crimson square was almost crowded with wizards. The overwhelming noise and shouts came from it, and finally gathered together and soared into the sky.
Wright couldn’t help but take a breath. It seemed that his previous estimate was still wrong!
