"During the first semester, I have taught all of you how to do basic enchantments on different items. By now, the majority of you should be able to do the Levitation Enchantments, the Shield enchantment, the Lumos Enchantments, and a variety of other ones."

Edward pauses for a brief moment after saying that. Then, he looked at the entire class. Although the majority still had the excitement from his last declarations, they still paid attention to his class.

These students knew that although Professor Edward is usually easy to talk to when it comes to magic, he does not play around. So, they are usually in their best behaviors when he is teaching in class.

"Now, I am going to teach you guys Double Enchantments. As the name implied, it is to place two enchantments on the same item. These two enchantments can be the same kind or two different ones."

After saying that, Edward started a demonstration. He took out a metal plate, and with his Enchanting Quill, he wrote the word "Protego" on it. The words light up blue before vanishing from the metal. This simple metal had just turned into an Alchemy item--although the most basic kind.

Edward then waved his hand and another piece of metal appeared in front of him. He also wrote the incarnation "Protego" on it. However, he did it twice on the second piece of metal--the front and the back.

Taking out his wand, Edward pointed at the first alchemy item and said "Bombarda". A powerful light flew from his wand and hit the floating metal. Then, a semi-transparent shield appeared in front to protect it, but the shield only lasted three seconds before it was destroyed, along with the metal.

Immediately afterward, Edward pointed at the second floating metal and used the same spell.

A piece of light flew from the tip of his wand heading for the second metal. Just like previously, a semi-transparent shield appeared to protect the alchemy item. However, its ending was different from his brethren's.

After three seconds, when the shield was about to be destroyed, a second shield appeared, thus increasing the protective ability of the item.

"Class, just like you see, Double Enchantments of the same kind or Homogeneous Double Enchantments dramatically increase the strength of one enchantment."

The students became surprised and excited after seeing such a magical process. They all wished to immediately give it a try. However, Edward stopped them.

"Now, please be patient as I am also going to demonstrate another form of Double Enchantments, which is called Heterogeneous Double Enchantments. Although you guys will not have to try during today's class, it will be part of our learning syllabus for this semester."

After saying these words, Edward once again waved his wand and another plate flew from the desk on the corner of the room in front of him. He took out his quill and started writing.

He first wrote "Lumos" on one side, then "Incendio" on the other side. Then, he lightly threw the metal in the air.

A bright light flew out of it, followed by a bright flame. They each floated around each other; it was like they were planets orbiting one another.

"As all, you can see, Heterogeneous Double Enchantments can also mean to place two different kinds of enchantments on the same item."

All the students marveled at this rare view that took place on them. Throughout the first semester, the professor had always mentioned that Alchemy was a wondrous form of magic. And the students agreed with him.

In the past few months, they have learned so much about how to make different alchemy items. Although Alchemy still has the boring part of studying different types of magical metals and ores, understanding their properties, and how to properly mix them to get the best and most efficient metal for any alchemy item; everything else was fine.

On top of that, today they finally learned that what they have learned is truly only the tip of the iceberg.

Suddenly, one student raised their hand.

"Yes, Mr. Diggory. Any questions?"

"Professor, can you combine two different enchantments into a brand new one?"

"Yes," replied Edward while nodding. "This technique is referred to as Amalgam Enchantment."

With a wave of his hand, the alchemy item with two different enchantments flew on his hand. Then, with his enchanting quill, Edward drew a strange symbol on the metal.

The few students that are also taking the Study of Ancient Rune Class of Professor Babbling instantly knew this was the rune word "Ehwaz", meaning "partnership".

After Edward finished writing the rune, a brilliant light came from the metal. After that, something amazing appeared in front of the students' eyes.

The fire and light floating from the metal combined. The first thing that students noticed was the fact that the heat or temperature emanating from the fire was gone.

Then, the red fire turned white; and it was not a cotton white, but more of a transparent white. The light that the new fire emanated was a few times brighter than before; it was bright to the point that most students in the class had to raise their hands in front of their eyes.

In general, the white fire created by the amalgam of these two enchantments was truly beautiful; it seemed to bring a sense of joy and positivity to all the people in the classroom.

"Professor, would we be able to do that?" asked one excited student.

"As a matter of fact, yes," responded Edward with a smile on his face. "However, the Amalgam Enchantment will not be taught until your fourth year."

Although the students were not happy that they could not learn such amazing knowledge now, they were just as satisfied to be able to learn it next year.

"Professor, do we have to take the Study of Ancient Rune class to become an Alchemist?" suddenly asked one student with a worried look on her face.

"No, as long as you know the right rune to use, it will be fine. However, if any of you truly wished to study Alchemy and become accomplished in this field, then you must study and understand Ancient Runes.

"Are there any more questions?"

No one raised their hands this time, so Edward gave the signal for all of them to start their practice of Homogeneous Double Enchantment

After finishing his demonstration, Edward let all the students begin to practice Homogeneous Double Enchantments. Since they had already learned how to do only one enchantment, the first step was quite straightforward.

However, once they tried to write the second one, a conflict erupted that destroyed the first one, rendering their previous efforts. What's worse is the fact that after a few failures, the piece of metal that they use to place enchantments on was destroyed, and they had to get another one.

It was then some students realized how much money and material is needed for one person to become a qualified Alchemist. Without the proper wealth and resources, a wizard from an ordinary family can't become an Alchemist--unless they are extremely talented.

And even then, talent could only reduce the resources wasted.

After a few students had failed many times, Edward started to walk around the classroom to give pointers; he pointed out that both enchantments need to be precise; the amount of magic power used must be the same and the written incantations must have as few mistakes as possible.

The closer both of them are, the better the enchantments would be. As such, to become a qualified Alchemist, not only do you need to have great control of magic powers, but also have steady hands like surgeons.

There was a reason that Edward let the class try many times by themselves before giving them pointers. He wanted to see whether there were any genius alchemists among the students, and there were; the Weasley Twins.

Of all the students in the class, their performances were the best. They had the best performance of all the years that he taught.

Since there has been no Alchemy Class for countless years, Edward had to teach all the years (3rd-7th) the same thing. However, because the higher years have more knowledge and practice of magic, the pace of the class was faster. An example of that is the fact that 7th-year students already have the current content of this class.

Edward was not that surprised by the Twin's talents as he knew from the canon timeline that they indeed had a rare talent for Alchemy as they built their Joke item Shop.

Edward always admired the twin's wild and crazy imagination, so he decided to give them extra guidance during class to further nurture their talents. Who knows, maybe they might help him in the future, or one of their crazy ideas might inspire him one day.

After a few hours, class time soon came to an end and the students wondered how time passed so quickly. When they are in Professor Snape's class, they feel like they spent eons there. However, when they are enjoying themselves in Professor Bones' class, every time seems to end too quickly.

--Scene Break--

All the students had just walked out of Edward's Class and were talking with one another with a happy smiles on their faces.

"The Class today was quite fun. I felt like l learned a lot."

"Me too, who knew that Alchemy would be such an interesting and useful class. After making my first Protection Badge, I won a duel with a friend of mine who did not want to take Professor Bones' class because of what he said at the beginning of the year.

"Me too, I won a few duels with my badge."

"Forget about the duels, did anyone take notice of how much Galleons was wasted on all the materials we used today in class."

"You are right. If we add on all the ones wasted on all the other classes, how much is Galleons?"

"Hmph, this is what I hate about you all muggle-born wizards, all of you have low visions," suddenly said a Slytherin student.

"Adrian Pucey, what do you mean by that?"

Adrian Pucey gave these students that were talking about the cost of the materials of the Alchemy class a disdainful look.

"All you people care about is the cost of the class material, but failed to realize the truly valuable thing of that class: knowledge.

"According to my mother, the Alchemy book that we are using for class contained some of the most secret and valuable knowledge about alchemy that even some of the most ancient pureblood families envy and drooled after. However, Professor Bones is willing to give them for free."

"Adrian is right," added another Slytherin student. "I heard that many of the pureblood family from Sacred Twenty-Eight have written to Dumbledore and the Board of Governors and complained that such knowledge should not be taught at school.

"Luckily, the Bones family--as one of the members-- have many allies on the Board, and with the support of the Headmaster, the complaints of these families were ignored."

The muggle-born students were shocked after hearing this, as they did not know that so many political dramas occurred over one class. It was not just them who did not know about this; many other pureblood or magical families did not know any of this.

Of course, now, the entire school will soon hear about such juicy gossip.

--Scene Break--

Back in the classroom, after class was over, Edward was resting at his desk reading a book when he noticed something approaching him.

After raising his head, he saw a Patronus charm in the shape of a phoenix appearing in front of him; it opened its mouth and spoke:

"Professor Bones, if your class is over, please come see me in my office. The password is Sherbet Lemon.

If you are not interested in my patr.e.on, you can just skip the paragraph that talk about it, so there is no need to complain in the comment. I am not the only writer who does this, and it's not like I place it right in the middle of the story like a TV advertisement.

TikTok Harry Potter Joke: What did the wizard say to the muggle? He said: "Hey girl, why don't you meet me outside of Diagon Alley? You can play with my time turner and you'll feel like I'm [IN] 2 places at once!"

From the next chapter on, the chapters will be longer--at least 1100 words.
