"The greatest achievement of ancient alchemy, a magical substance with amazing functions, which can turn any metal into pure gold and create an elixir of life, making those who drink it immortal forever.

The Philosopher's Stone has appeared three times in history, and each time it appears, it will trigger an extremely brutal war.

The longest war lasted twenty years, and the country that possessed the Philosopher's Stone was razed to the ground in the tenth year.

Because every time it appears, it is accompanied by countless blood, so the Philosopher's Stone is also called the Bloody Gem.

Of the three Philosopher's Stones, Merlin and King Arthur once teamed up to destroy one, and the other was eventually obtained by Rowena Ravenclaw, who joined forces with her three friends to build the famous Hogwarts at the cost of the complete destruction of the Philosopher's Stone.

The only remaining Philosopher's Stone belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Nicolas Flamel."

After this introduction, there is a picture of the Philosopher's Stone.

It was a bright red stone with an irregular shape, a bit like an unpolished ruby.

Kyle stared at it for a long time, examining every angle, and only closed the book when Cedric came to call him to dinner.

On his way to the auditorium, Kyle just managed to return the book before the library closed.

Although Mrs. Pince found it a little strange, she didn't say anything. She just thought that Kyle was looking up information he needed for his homework.

For the next period of time, Kyle no longer cared about the Philosopher's Stone, but focused all his energy on Snape's notes.

Although Snape looked sloppy and hadn't washed his hair, his notes were very detailed.

Moreover, he carefully marked and explained many places, so it is very easy to understand the meaning when reading.

Because of the notes, Kyle suddenly thought of something.

During his night tour that day, he went to the underground classroom on purpose and found the worn-out copy of "Advanced Potion Making" in a closet in the corner.

There was also a line of small words on it: "This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince."

"Tsk tsk, a half-blood prince... I didn't expect Snape could be so childish." Kyle put the book in his arms without hesitation, planning to buy a new one in a few days and put it in.

And just like that, time quickly came to December.

Hogwarts was covered in a thick layer of snow and the lake was covered with hard ice.

As Christmas approaches, the little wizards are much more excited than usual, and the professors have to deduct at least a dozen points from each class to get them to focus a little.

Of course, classes taught by a few professors are exceptions.

For example, Professor Binns will not lose points.

And Professor Snape...not to mention that the holiday is coming soon, even if the holiday was tomorrow, no one would dare to skip his Potions class.

Today was no different. In the underground classroom, everyone was conscientiously studying the process of brewing a new potion. Even when they were communicating occasionally, they would deliberately keep their voices to a minimum.

Snape was standing behind Kyle at this time, looking at him with strange eyes as he used the back of a knife to crush the sleepy beans to extract the juice.

"What the hell is going on? I really am meeting Merlin..." Snape muttered in his heart.

A few days ago, he discovered that Kyle had made rapid progress in potions, far exceeding his previous level.

But the problem is that Kyle is already very good at brewing potions, and it is impossible for him to improve so much in a short period of time.

So in this class, he skipped the original hair-standing potion and chose the more difficult Water of Life and Death, which only starts to be learned in sixth grade.

Because the notes he gave Connor only contained content before the fifth grade. If it was a sixth grade course, Kyle would definitely be brought back to his original form.

Snape had already thought it through. No matter whether Kyle could successfully make the water of life and death in the end, he would find various reasons to deduct fifty points from him.

This is not difficult. The Water of Life and Death is a very complicated potion to make. The steps are many and troublesome. If you do it well, it’s no problem to lose 100 points.

He wanted to let Kyle know how serious the consequences were for reading his notes without his permission.

But now... he suddenly found himself a little confused about what was going on.

Kyle's squeezing of the sleepy beans was perfect, and he couldn't have done better.

This little trick was obviously not in the notes. After all, Kanna next to her was still struggling to use a knife to cut those slippery beans.

Snape frowned.

Wasn't that the note Kyle was looking at?

No, no matter how talented a person is, it is impossible for him to make such rapid progress in a short period of time.

Let’s wait and see, maybe he was just lucky and stumbled upon it by accident.

With this thought in mind, Snape didn't go anywhere in this class and stood behind Kyle the whole time.

Even if a little wizard exploded the cauldron, he would just throw the wizard out of the classroom with his wand.

When the get out of class was over, Snape looked at the perfect water of life and death in Kyle's cauldron, opened his mouth, but could not say anything critical, and could only snort coldly.

“How did you do that!?”

"What did you say?" Kyle asked in confusion.

"I mean..." Snape said stiffly with a straight face, "Why is your potion level improving so fast?"

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because of Dean Sassia of St. Mungo's." Kyle said with a smile, "She taught me a lot during the summer vacation and gave me a lot of potions for reference."

"Pegasus Sassia?" Snape narrowed his eyes.

Snape was certainly no stranger to this one of the greatest pharmacists of our time, but he did not think that Kyle's recent progress had anything to do with him.

Maybe... but it's definitely not the main reason, otherwise he would have seen it as early as after school started, so how could it have been delayed until now.

"Tell the truth!" Snape stared into Kyle's eyes and said coldly.

"I don't understand what you mean, Professor." Kyle blinked and said seriously, "This is all true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Dean Sasia in person. She will testify for me.

Oh, by the way, I recently met an enthusiastic senior, and I benefited a lot from his old textbooks. "

Snape's face looked even worse. He looked at Kyle deeply, then turned and left the Potions classroom without looking back.

If he doesn't want to talk about it, then forget it. Why is he talking about the old textbooks of senior students... Doesn't he know the level of those people? Let alone those crooked ones now, even if we push it back ten years, no one can make such a perfect water of life and death in the classroom! (End of this chapter)
