Ahhh.... if it were only true, unfortunately, JKR recently posted on
her website that Flamel was dead. I too have speculated for a long
time now that to someone who is nearly 700 years old, 'time to get
your affairs in order' could be as long as 10 years. Remember how fast
time flies by when you get older. 

In addition, I thought Flamel would be an excellent character. Imagine
the wisdom he would accumulate in almost 700 years. So, I was really
hoping we would get to meet him in person, but alas it is not meant to be.

"Q: Nicolas Flamel is going to come to Hogwarts to teach potions"

"A: Flamel has now died; Dumbledore explained in `Philosopher's Stone'
that his old friend was going to choose death rather than allow his
stone to fall into the wrong hands."

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
