Nicolas Flamel looked at the chocolate in Horatio's hand and fell silent. "The biggest difference between the Philosopher's Stone and the Sorcerer's Stone is whether the Philosopher's Stone can grant wishes?"

"I don't think it's about wishes. It just brings forward what you can do in the future. Its essence is borrowing from the future. It can't do anything about established facts that have already happened." This was a lie. The Philosopher's Stone could indeed alter past events, but the required amount of souls and life was astronomical.

Hearing Horatio's words, Nicolas Flamel's expectant eyes instantly turned disappointed. He said with self-deprecation, "Indeed, there's no such thing as a magic pill for regret in this world. Child, it's getting late. Get some rest. Tomorrow morning, I will officially teach you Alchemy."

"Okay, Teacher Nicolas."

"Isis, Nephthys, if you two fight again, I'll remove both your wings and replace them with Mechanical Alchemy Wings. Hathor, give them two slaps and let them know who's boss."

Hathor heard her master's command, jumped out of his arms, and delivered two Cat Paw Punches to the heads of the two fighting Big Birds. After the blows, she gracefully walked back into her master's embrace with a Catwalk.

Meanwhile, Horatio was holding a Blue Bead and carving inscriptions on it with a Carving Knife.

At the doorway, Nicolas Flamel looked at Horatio, who was engrossed in his work, and couldn't help but sigh with genuine admiration, "Each generation surpasses the last."

After obtaining Nicolas Flamel's Notes, Horatio added various protective spells such as the Levitation Charm, Cleaning Charm, and Shield Charm to the Windbreaker he custom-ordered from Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. This was an application of enchantment in Alchemy.

The next day, he used the Turbine Jet Principle combined with Alchemy technology to equip a Flying Broomstick with a Turbine Jet Engine, directly breaking the sound barrier. Fortunately, no one was riding it, or they would have been cooked by the heat generated from air friction. It even alerted the French Ministry of Magic at the time, but when French Aurors rode their Flying Broomsticks to chase the broom, they could only eat its dust behind its Mach Ring.

On the third day, he used the souls of rabbits collected from the forest to create a Mechanical Dog named Alpha Dog. Who knew a Mechanical Dog could be so good at Wizard's Chess? What's more, it taunted them after winning, enraging Perenelle, who immediately drew her Magic Wand and cast Diffindo on the Alpha Dog, dismantling it into Parts. She then grabbed Horatio's ear and lectured him for half an hour. Horatio had to offer Hathor's services for a day to escape punishment.

On the fourth day, to get Hathor back, Horatio built a simulated Mechanical Cat and Mechanical Mouse equipped with Transfiguration, Levitation Charm, and Restoration Charm, naming them Tom and Jerry. They constantly wreaked havoc in the house, staging chases and fights. The result was that Hathor wasn't retrieved, and Tom and Jerry were confiscated. Horatio cried all night, clutching a pillow.

On the fifth day, he asked Nicolas Flamel about Human Alchemy but was told he was too young and would have to wait until he was older.

On the sixth day, he crafted a set of armor called Winged Rebellion Falcon Armor for Nephthys and had her wear it to deliver a letter to Dumbledore, hoping Dumbledore was alright. Seeing Isis's dejected look that evening, he also crafted a set of armor called Ultimate Falcon Armor for her.

"Alert!! Alert!! Fleur Delacour is approaching, estimated arrival in 3 minutes."

A Red Ball on Horatio's desk suddenly emitted an alarm, startling Horatio, causing the Carving Knife and Blue Bead in his hand to fall onto the table.

"This is bad, Hathor, the demoness is coming. Initiate Level One combat readiness."

Hathor heard her master's words, tapped the bell on her neck with her paw, and instantly turned invisible. Horatio also pressed the square box on his belt, "Anti-Fleur Device activated," and instantly turned invisible.

Fleur Delacour, possessing Veela Bloodline, was distantly related to Perenelle, apparently a distant relative from Perenelle's family.

A few days ago, when she visited Nicolas Flamel with Ollivander Maxime, she became very interested in Horatio. Not only did she write to him every day, but she also frequently used the excuse of visiting Perenelle to harass him.

Perenelle and Nicolas Flamel were happy for Fleur to "sanction" this lawless little devil, saving them the trouble of him coming up with mischievous ideas and causing trouble every day.

With a light step, a silver-haired, blue-eyed, and beautiful young girl in a blue silk robe pushed open Horatio's door.

"Huh, not here?" Fleur looked back at Nicolas Flamel. Nicolas winked at her and quietly handed her a silver ball, signaling her to throw it directly.

Fleur took the ball and threw it towards Horatio's room. With a dazzling white light, she revealed herself, covering her eyes. "Ah!!! My eyes, Old Deng, you used a flashbang to trick me again! Just you wait until I craft the Giant Mountain Super Power Transformer, I'm going to tear your house down!!!"

Horatio's vision hadn't fully recovered when a pair of fair and slender hands touched his cheeks, and a gentle female voice sounded in his ear, "Little brother Horatio, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, my eyes just hurt a little."

"It's good that you're fine, then you have something to deal with now."

With a sharp pain in his cheek, Fleur began a round of brutal abuse on Horatio.

"Ahhh!!! You crazy woman, stop it!!!"

A beautiful young girl in a blue robe with silver hair and blue eyes sat on a chair. A black cat lay on her slender thighs, and a pair of orchid-like fingers gently stroked its fur. Opposite the girl sat a black-and-blue little boy with a sign hanging around his neck that read, "I will never make Sister Fleur angry again."

"She bullied me and took my cat. I'll remember this grudge," Horatio thought to himself.

"Little brother Horatio, didn't I tell you before that you must reply to my letters immediately upon receiving them? Did you forget?"

Listening to Fleur's increasingly cold tone, Horatio quickly retorted, "I didn't forget, I didn't forget! It's mainly because Isis and Nephthys were fighting and injured their wings, so I couldn't reply to you."

He glanced at Isis and Nephthys, who looked at their master and helplessly displayed their bandaged wings.

"Hmph, I'll let it go this time. If you dare not reply to me again, I'll come after you even if you've returned to England," Fleur said fiercely. "Oh, right, accompany me back to Beauxbatons Academy tomorrow, as compensation for making me angry."

"Heh, no."

"What? Are you looking for death? Are you feeling wronged to go on a date with your beautiful sister like me?"

Admittedly, although Fleur was still young and hadn't fully developed, she was already very beautiful, and she had Veela blood. But what did that have to do with me, an 11-year-old kid? I'm not even a Sword Embryo yet, it's more interesting to hand-craft a Gundam.

"Heh, even though you're beautiful, you're not as good as a Robot in my eyes." He then took out a white mechanical glove from his bag and put it on. "I will attack in Gundam Form."
