"Oh… I get it. The 9 3/4 Platform suddenly closed for some reason, and you were afraid you couldn't get back to school on time, so… you drove this poor Alchemy… Instead of going home to ask Mrs. Weasley for help, you decided on a whim to drive yourselves to school…"
Kaisen clapped his hands, as if applauding Harry and Ron.
"A very good experience, a very good solution. Therefore, Gryffindor will be deducted two hundred points."
Ever since Dumbledore's little mouth opened and added two hundred and fifty points to Gryffindor at the end of last year's term, Kaisen had gradually let himself go.
After all, Hogwarts' house points had already inflated countless times under the manipulation of Snape and Dumbledore; one more or one less of him wouldn't make a difference.
"Then Professor, is this matter just over?" Harry asked expectantly.
"Of course not, Professor McGonagall will know about this." Kaisen shook his head and naturally sat in the somewhat old Alchemy car.
"Was this made by Mr. Weasley?"
"Yes." Ron puffed out his chest a little proudly.
"Good craftsmanship. I finally know where the twins' Alchemy talent comes from. Also, Ron, where does your family live?"
"Devon, Ottery, The Burrow outside St Catchpole village."
Kaisen operated something in the driver's seat and then got out. Soon, the car flew up by itself, slowly turning invisible as it ascended, and flew back to the Weasley's The Burrow.
"Now, if you four go back, you might still be able to fill your stomachs. I hope you eat quickly, Professor McGonagall's punishment won't wait for you too long…"
As the four Little Wizards scurried back to the Great Hall, Kaisen returned to the Professor's table and reported the matter in its entirety to Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall was still wondering why the scoring hourglass didn't even have point crystals at the beginning of the term, and then suddenly there was a gap below that could deduct exactly two hundred point crystals.
She thought it was a bug, but now she realized that Gryffindor's four precious darlings had caused such a mess.
As Professor McGonagall stormed off to the Gryffindor long table, Kaisen, with his Merit and Fame deeply hidden, returned to his office.
He needed to start thinking about what to teach the new batch of third-year Little Wizards tomorrow.
Compared to high-end essential modifications and material transformations, perhaps a simple Golem, though still somewhat difficult for Little Wizards just starting to learn Alchemy, would capture their interest, and that was very necessary.
Kaisen took out his magic manual and found the page about Golems, studying it carefully. It turned out he was also cramming at the last minute.
After all, compared to making an intelligent Golem to help him with chores, he preferred fully automated machinery on an industrial assembly line; the efficiency of the two simply couldn't compare.
redstone powering moments, oh!
The next day…
Kaisen stood at the podium in the classroom below his office, looking at the forty-plus heads below.
"…How many people are in your year across all four houses?"
"Forty-one."
"How many of you are there?"
"Forty-one."
Kaisen nodded, tapping the golden podium he had removed from the original Alchemy classroom: "I thank you all… but there's no gold delivery this time."
After speaking, he pulled a dark purple little guy from his pocket. It looked exactly like the Iron Golems standing guard in the Castle, but its color had changed and it was proportionally scaled down.
"This thing is much more intelligent than an Iron Golem. Iron Golems are combat Golems, and making them… relies heavily on talent, and a bit of 'I reckon' power. It's a bit beyond the curriculum for you third-year Little Wizards."
"So, this time I've brought a more rational, more intelligent Golem. Once you make this thing, it's like having a low-end House-elf."
"You can have it help you with any chores that aren't too difficult, from helping you get a book during class to being your Alchemy assistant."
Kaisen held the small Golem with both hands, explaining, until he saw the Little Wizards below the podium already eager to try, then he took out an alchemy cauldron.
"This is an alchemy cauldron, completely different from Severus's Potion cauldron… but the usage is the same."
Kaisen snapped his fingers, and a flash of light instantly appeared in front of each of them.
He then waved his wand, and over forty alchemy cauldrons flew down from upstairs in a line.
"When you had Potions, did Severus ever warn you not to put any raw materials from the classroom into your mouths?"
The Little Wizards below the podium all nodded.
"Then there's no problem. If you hadn't studied Potions, I'd have to waste time reminding you." Kaisen waved his wand again, and a series of small elemental bottles and purple metal blocks flew down from upstairs, landing on the desks in front of each Little Wizards.
"I can only say, Alchemy also has a bit of 'I reckon' power. I hope you won't be too surprised next."
"First, everyone, pick up the buckets next to your desks and fill your alchemy cauldron with water. Then, pick up that purple metal block. This is called Mysterious Metal, a new substance I've created through Alchemy, which will appear in various Alchemy supply stores simultaneously with the publication of my new paper."
"And those individual elemental bottles are Human, Movement, and Soul, respectively. They will also be available in Alchemy stores when the paper is published. As for how these elements came to be… you haven't learned that yet."
Next, Kaisen led the Little Wizards in a method similar to brewing Potion, pouring various things into the cauldron, and then the cauldron simply spat out small Golems, looking fresh and new.
The principle was unknown, why it worked was unknown; in short, it could be made, and most Alchemy was like this.
People knew the Philosopher's Stone could turn matter into gold, but they didn't know why it could turn into gold.
It could be said that the discipline of Alchemy has been contradictory since its inception. On one hand, as long as the steps are followed, placing specific items at specific steps, or performing more precise inscription engraving, one can perfectly replicate the achievements of predecessors, making it reproducible.
However, generation after generation of Alchemists have failed to grasp the deeper principles within. But that's normal; magic has always been idealistic from the start, and it has never followed logic.
Compared to Spellcraft, Alchemy and Potions are already considered very logical disciplines.
