There was mention of a monster that looks like people you know.

Does it come out during the day?

This place can't bring people back from the dead, can it?

No magic can revive the dead, and even when it does, it's not like they are really with you. You can't fetch them, they fetch you.

Of course I do! What alchemist doesn't? Just a shame most of them don't know how it's made, or they wouldn't be so keen to use it.

It doesn't. It takes too much from you for it to work.

You're an alchemist? Wait, you mean the Philosopher's Stone? And what do you mean 'how it's made'? I don't know how Flamel made it.

No matter how much we wish we could see them again, it's better for the dead if they stay dead.

Yes. One of the best. And what other stone would I mean?

Flamel... but... that's not a person, it's a symbol...

The stone is made using human lives.

...I know that better than most anyone.

The Resurrection Stone. But that's just a children's story isn't it?

Human lives?

Dumbledore worked with Flamel and Dumbledore would never allow that to happen!

I think we might be talking about different types of alchemy. This is so confusing.

Resurrection Stone? No, it acts as an amplifier for alchemical power, allowing you to overcome the barrier of equivalent trade.

Yes, human lives. Thousands of them all packed into it.

Huh, didn't think there was more than one type of alchemy, although I guess people talked about it not being real and stuff. And people who think it's magic or something.

The Resurrection Stone is a stone all by itself, it's one of the Deathly Hallows.

Alchemy is a type of magic. I figured it was more scientific though, I never took a class on it or anything.
