An early page of Philosophers Stone showing an abandoned Plotline:
“So this Flamel bloke found the stone “ said Ron
“No- he made it, “said Harry, “He was an alchemist. Which means
“Someone who turns base metals into gold” said Hermione. She had
that old proving- I- know- more- than- everyone- else look on her face, the
other two noticed, “Of course. I read about this in Alchemy, Ancient
Art and Science, 의해 Argo Pyrites”.
“I missed that one myself,” muttered Ron.
“(and)—of course it's some of the most difficult magic 당신 can do.
And 당신 end up not just with pure gold but also with a funny stone thing ---“
“Which is what I’m on about,” said Harry, the Philosopher’s stone, yes.
And it works too. It kept Nicholas Flamel and his wife alive for
about five hundred years.”
“What?”
“I know,” said Harry. “But it's true. He was spotted at the opera in
Paris in 1762 and he was born back in 13 something.”
Ron whistled.
“But he's dead now?” he asked.
“Of course,” said Harry, “Someone 스톨, 훔친 his stone so he couldn't make
any 더 많이 Elixir of life, could he? It takes a while to make another
stone and 의해 that time, I suppose, he was just too old to live without
his Elixir until a new stone was ready. “ And now I’ll tell 당신 something
else really weird that I haven't told 당신 up to now- the stone
was found in my parents 안전한, 안전 at Gringott’s bank.”
But instead of the interested noises Harry had expected, Ron
and Hermione simply stared at him.
“What?” said Harry.
Ron cleared his throat, opened his mouth to speak but shut it
again."
“What?” Harry said.
“Well, Harry,” said Hermione. “I mean...”
“You mean what?”
He stared at them both as they shuffled their feet and tried
not to look him in the eye.
“You don't think”, he said suddenly and rather angrily, “That my
parents 스톨, 훔친 the stone?”
“Um...” said Ron.
“Look,” said Harry furiously, “That’s like saying they murdered Flamel...”
“Oh Harry, we never thought...”
“Not much, 당신 didn't,” said Harry. “I don’t know how it
got in there, but the stone wasn’t put there 의해 them...”
“Right,” said Ron quickly. "I’m sure you're right.”
“There must be an obvious explanation, “said Hermione.
Harry wasn't at all convinced that they meant it,
but at that moment the 벨 rang which put an end to the
conversation.
