Chapter 09: Interlude2
"He said Flamel, I'm sure of it." Hermione whispered excitedly. "And if he's personally acquainted with Dumbledore's old partner, wouldn't he technically be on Dumbledore's side, therefore be on our side?"
"You don't even know for sure if he knows Nicholas Flamel." argued Ron. "You're basing all your facts on gibberish you've heard. He may've been lying, you know."
"I wasn't done yet, Ron." she snapped peevishly, earning herself a dirty look. "I went back to the library when he was still gone and checked out everything I could find on Nicholas Flamel- again. And look at this." She pulled out a book from her bag, suspected to have been carried around all day, and opened it to a picture where the caption read:
"...Nicholas Flamel also interacted with muggles for a short time as a German University professor, Karl Haushofer." And in the photograph, there was a man standing next to Flamel in his ridiculous muggle disguise. He had long blonde hair pulled into a single tail, glasses, a beard, and looked remarkably similar to-
"Mr. Elric."
"That still doesn't prove anything." Harry said after a moments pause. "A man who just so happens to look like him means nothing."
"Once again, Harry, I wasn't done." Hermione said, closing the book. "Flamel was skilled in alchemy. You notice how Mr. Elric doesn't use a wand? Alchemists don't need wands. Do you think Dumbledore would really hire a known alchemist if he didn't trust him? Plus that surgery he's getting, I kept hearing the word 'automail'. What if the rumor that he has a mechanical arm isn't false? Alchemists need a medium to channel their magic through. May for him, it's this 'automail."
"Why would Dumbledore hire him as a librarian then?" asked Harry. "Why not give him Edinburgh's job?"
Hermione shrugged. "Probably so he wouldn't attract attention. Who do you think You-Know-Who would be more suspicious of? A librarian or a professor? And just because you think Professor Edinburgh is boring-"
"That old gargoyle is worse than Binns." Harry interrupted, chucking a well-aimed pillow at Hermione's head.
She glanced at Ron. "Well?"
He bit his lip and then sighed. "I'll give him a change, but I still don't trust him. Besides," he chortled, "Trelawney's gone and made him her new voodoo doll so I suppose Harry's safe for a while."
That comment resulted in many-a-pain for Ron Weasley that night, but we shall not get into that.
