But later, when I found out that Nicholas Flamel was a real person (I 
admit I hadn't known already), it occured to me that her parents 
MIGHT have known some usual information. I suppose it'd be too much 
to hope for that one of them belonged to the SCA or worked at 
Renaissance Faire in the character of an alchemist, but perhaps one 
wrote a paper about alchemy for a History of Science class and 
remembered the part about Nicole Flamel.
