Hogwarts: I am the god who controls emotions

If you could choose, would you choose time travel?

If you were to travel to the world of Harry Potter, would you accept it?

What if it was time travel to Azkaban?

The protagonist accidentally traveled to Azkaban, the prison for wizards in the Harry Potter world. Fortunately, he activated the emotion collection system, which can influence other people’s emotions, strengthen himself, and extract treasures from other magical worlds. Since then, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and even the entire wizarding world, has welcomed a god who controls emotions!

Neville: “Murphy has leadership qualities. Every time I fight with him, I can always burst out with the strongest self-confidence!”

Harry Potter: “Murphy is the savior. He always encourages me to face my enemies bravely!”

Hermione: “Every time I see him, I always feel flustered for some reason. Could this be…”

Professor Dumbledore: “Don’t mention Murphy to me. Because of him, I gave up my favorite dessert…”

Voldemort: “After I was resurrected, I stood at the gate of Hogwarts Castle with full confidence, but I always felt inexplicably sad…”

Hogwarts: I am the god who controls emotions
Chapter 1: Going to Azkaban to pick up students
On the vast ocean, strong winds gathered dark clouds.
Between the dark clouds and the sea, there is a petrel…
No, it wasn’t a petrel, it was three people in robes flying on broomsticks.
At this moment, the leader suddenly pressed down the broom in his hand, and instantly the flight trajectory of the three people changed, flying diagonally towards the sea.
When the three of them descended to less than ten meters from the sea level, the empty sea surface in front of them suddenly changed, and an isolated small island appeared in front of the three of them.
Just when the three were about to land on the island, suddenly a strange creature wearing a tattered cloak and a hood appeared from nowhere, and with it came a heartfelt chill, a bone-chilling cold.
“Expediate Patronus!” An old voice came from the leader’s mouth, and at the same time, countless silver rays shot out from the magic wand in his hand. These rays entangled together and instantly turned into a silver phoenix.
The silver phoenix spun in the air, then suddenly rushed towards the monster that brought the cold.
The monster seemed to be very afraid of the phoenix, and it turned and fled towards the only building on the island.
Seeing the monster leave, the phoenix summoned by the old man did not dissipate, but instead circled around the three people.
Soon the three of them landed on the island, and then they walked towards the dilapidated building on the island.
“Albus, are you sure what you said is true? A Hogwarts admission letter was sent here? Could there be some mistake?” One of the tall middle-aged women with square monocles and short silver hair asked the old man as they walked.
“Of course I can be sure that the book has never been wrong in thousands of years!” said the old man seriously.
“Okay, let’s go in quickly. I really can’t imagine what will happen to that child here. A child, Azkaban, Albus, do you think he will become…” Another middle-aged lady wearing a wizard hat and a green robe looked at the old man worriedly.
“Minerva, are you talking about the Obscurial? I don’t think so. After all, his name is still in the book. Although the name disappeared for a while, now that it has reappeared in the book, he must still be a normal wizard. He definitely can’t be the Obscurial.” A trace of sadness flashed across the old man’s blue pupils, followed by curiosity.
He really couldn’t imagine how a child with magical blood would not become an Obscurial if he just appeared in Azkaban.
Just as they reached the door of the building, several middle-aged wizards holding wands came out, and the leader saluted to the three of them.
“Professor Dumbledore, Director Bones, Professor McGonagall, you are here.”
Apparently their arrival had been announced in advance.
“Have you checked? Is there really a Hogwarts-age child in Azkaban?” asked the woman who spoke first, Amelia Susan Bones, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.
“I, we checked all the rooms on the first to fifth floors of Azkaban and found no children.” said the leading wizard.
“If I remember correctly, the address on the envelope should be Mr. Murphy Ecclestone Deese on the throne in Room 1,000, Level 6, Azkaban.” As Professor Minerva McGonagall, the deputy headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she is familiar with every admission letter.
“Why don’t you check the sixth floor.”
“I, we…” The wizard stammered, looking embarrassed, not knowing how to answer this question.
“Okay, Minerva, this is not their fault. The sixth floor of Azkaban is not accessible to ordinary people. You may not know that Dementors live on the sixth floor, and no one has been there for a long, long time.” Bones rescued his men in time.
“So, Albus, are you sure? Even if there is someone there, he shouldn’t be able to survive. At the very least, he doesn’t even have food to eat, and he’s still a child.”
“Whether it’s true or not, we can go down and take a look and find out,” the old man said as he directed the silver phoenix that was still circling in the air to fly to his shoulder.
Although the Phoenix was approaching, everyone showed a comfortable expression.
First floor, second floor…until everyone reached the stairs to the fifth and sixth floors, and everyone stopped.
“Okay, you all go back first. Professor McGonagall, Professor Dumbledore and I will go down.”
After hearing what Director Bones said, the other wizards scattered without even a word of courtesy.
At this time, Dumbledore finally opened his half-closed eyes, carried the Phoenix and walked down the stairs first, while Professor McGonagall and Bones followed closely behind.
In the darkness, the silver light of the Phoenix became brighter and brighter, while countless screams passed by the three of them.
Faced with all this, Dumbledore took it calmly, but as time went on, his expression gradually became more serious.
“That’s not right, Albus. We’ve been walking for almost twenty minutes. Stairs shouldn’t be this long.” Professor McGonagall said nervously.
“How about we go up first and I’ll gather some Aurors to come with us?” Director Bones was also hesitating in his heart at this time.
“It’s useless. I’m afraid we can’t go back now.” Dumbledore said as he took out his wand and waved it directly at the phoenix on his shoulder.
Suddenly, the silver phoenix burst out with an incomparably dazzling light.
At the same time, the cry of a bird was heard, and then a red flame burned in the air. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and finally it suddenly shrank and turned into a real phoenix.
“Fox?” Professor McGonagall felt a lot more relaxed when she saw the Phoenix in front of her. With the Phoenix, at least they would not be trapped here. Bones also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Phoenix.
At this moment, the stairs under their feet also changed. Instead of continuing to extend, a pitch-black door appeared in front of them.
There was also a sign similar to a house number hanging next to the gate, with [1000] clearly written on it.
A creaking sound came from the door, and slowly the door opened inside.
“The gears of fate have begun to turn. As night falls, darkness will once again cover the earth, and the fear of the past will eventually return! Are you ready?” A deep voice came from inside the door.
The sudden sound and the content it contained made Dumbledore’s hand holding the wand stiffen instantly.

The sudden sound froze the three of them in place, and no one dared to act rashly.
Finally, it was Dumbledore, holding a wand, a silver phoenix on his left, and Fawkes on his right, and he walked in cautiously.
McGonagall and the other person did not dare to delay. No one knew whether the door would disappear or not. Following Dumbledore was the best option at this time.
The three people who entered the door couldn’t help but gasp when they saw the situation in front of them.
The space inside the door was about the same size as the Hogwarts Castle Great Hall. This certainly didn’t surprise the three of them. After all, the Traceless Extension Spell was not uncommon in the wizarding world. As long as they wanted, they could even put a grassland in a suitcase.
What surprised them was the scene inside the room.
Countless Dementors were floating around the room at will, and in the middle of the room, there was a long dining table with all kinds of strange foods on it, many of which they had never seen before.
At the top of the long table was a staircase, on top of which was a throne made of bones, on which sat a little boy with black hair, blue face and delicate figure.
At this time, the little boy was looking at the three people leisurely. His expression was totally unlike what a child should have.
“Please take a seat. This place is small and our hospitality is poor. Please forgive us!”
The boy waved his hand, and immediately three Dementors flew out from the air. They flew to the corner of the hall and placed three chairs next to the long table.
“There’s no need to do that. I want to ask, are you Murphy Ecclestone Dees?” Dumbledore said expressionlessly, but from his slightly contracted pupils, it can be seen that he was amazed that the boy could command Dementors.
“So what if it is, so what if it isn’t?” the boy asked with a smile.
“If you are him, then we are sorry to bother you. If not, please hand him over. He meets the admission requirements of Hogwarts, and I need him to tell me in person whether he wants to enroll!” Dumbledore emphasized the word “in person”.
“Are you ordering me?” Although the boy said it with a smile, his displeasure could be seen from his cold eyes, and then the Dementors flying all over the sky let out creepy screams.
“Forget it, you are guests after all, so I won’t pursue the matter for now. But I tell you, the Bones of the Sin Realm will eventually become king, and you need to respect a king!” The boy waved his hand, and the Dementors stopped screaming in unison.
“I can say it’s him, or I can say it’s not him.”
“Why do you say that?” Dumbledore was also a qualified supporting actor and was determined not to let a single word fall through.
The boy, now known as Murphy, nodded in satisfaction and continued.
“He is a silent one.”
Hearing his words, Dumbledore frowned immediately, but he soon figured it out, “You are the Obscurus in him, you control him!”
“As expected of Headmaster Dumbledore, you are absolutely right!” Murphy clapped his hands with emotion, “What are you going to do now?”
“I said, I’m looking for Murphy Ecclestone Dees. Ask him to come out, I want to ask him in person.” Dumbledore held the Elder Wand tightly, ready to strike at any time.
But what he didn’t expect was that the other party didn’t seem to have any intention of taking action.
“Don’t be nervous. I don’t want to attack you yet. I’m not your enemy, and he’s not dead yet!”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. I just want to talk to the real Murphy right now.” Dumbledore said unmoved.
“Don’t worry, I will not only let him out, but also hand him over to you alive. You can do whatever you want with him.” Murphy said generously.
“Oh, can you survive without him?” Dumbledore asked in surprise. After all, in his concept, the Obscurus was just a powerful and disordered dark force. It was incredible that it could produce consciousness. Could it survive alone without its main body?
“Magic is always magical. No one can see all the mysteries of magic, right?” Murphy said meaningfully.
At this time, Dumbledore was not in a hurry. Looking at Murphy on the throne, he couldn’t help but ask a question that he had always cared about.
“What did you mean by that sentence just now? Will he really come back again?”
“Although all the gifts of fate are wonderful, the chips have already been marked in the dark. Are you sure you want to know the answer?” Murphy said with a smile.
“In that case, I won’t ask anymore, but I want to know if you have the ability to predict the future?” Dumbledore asked.
“Although the long river of time is there, even I cannot peek into it. However, he accidentally saw a glimpse of it. Well, I have given you enough gifts. Since you have no intention of attending the banquet, please leave here.”
“Wait, wait a minute, one last question. After you leave, will there be any impact on the real Murphy? Will anything happen to him?” As the vice-president, Magg couldn’t help herself at this time, and she asked quickly.
However, Murphy did not intend to answer. He first showed a strange smile, then stood up from the throne of bones, and walked towards Dumbledore while a black aura emanated from his body.
When he walked in front of Dumbledore, his body suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground.
Dumbledore quickly stepped forward and took him into his arms.
At this moment, the Dementors flying all over the sky suddenly rioted. They raised their heads, black holes opened under their hoods, and invisible sound waves raged in the hall.
“Hold my arm.” Dumbledore didn’t waste any words and directly picked up Murphy, then held Fawkes’ paw with one hand.
Golden flames emanated from Fox’s body, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, soon enveloping all of them. Then there was a bang, and the flames exploded. After the explosion, the figures of several people disappeared in the hall.
But before he disappeared, one could vaguely see Murphy’s mouth corners slightly raised and his eyes slightly opened. There was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes again.
Chapter 3: New Arrival (Old Version)
Success! My plan was successful after all!
After Murphy woke up, he looked around, and when he didn’t see the Dementors, he took a deep breath.
Finally out of that damn Azkaban.
Then he couldn’t help but think back to a week ago, when he had just come into this world.
In fact, Murphy at this time is not the real Murphy, or his soul is not the previous Murphy, and he is not even a person of this world.
Originally he was an ordinary civil servant in the Blue Star Flower Growers, living a leisurely life of working from nine to five, slacking off and reading novels at work, and playing games, drinking beer and having barbecue after get off work.
However, it seemed as if even the heavens could not bear to see him so comfortable, for during one visit to a barbecue restaurant, a gas tank leaked and the restaurant caught fire. He had a chance to escape, but when he saw the crying little girl at the end, he chose to live towards death.
The result was that the little girl was saved.
And he came to this world. As a veteran online novel reader, coupled with the sudden increase in memory fragments, he quickly understood his situation.
It turns out that time travel really exists! It even happened to me.
But just thinking about it makes him a little excited. While Murphy was fantasizing about being the king of this alien world, he began to carefully check the extra memory fragments.
Although the number of memories he integrated increased, his expression became increasingly ugly.
The original body was so miserable. He was sent to an orphanage as a baby and suffered bullying. He experienced all the hardships and beatings that the original body had suffered.
What is empathy? This is empathy. What I said before was all bullshit. How can you empathize without actually experiencing it? Murphy gritted his teeth while continuing to integrate the memories of his original body.
Suddenly, his eyebrows raised. It seemed that there was something unusual about his original body. He seemed to have some special abilities that could move objects through the air!
“I, I, why am I so stupid? You have super powers, why are you still afraid of those little beasts? You are even inferior to me. What the hell is inferior to me? I, I…” Murphy once again withdrew from the memory fusion because of his original body’s cowardice and incompetence. He was so angry that he stuttered.
However, his brows suddenly frowned, and then he quickly checked the appearance of the orphanage gate in his memory, or rather the sign above the orphanage gate.
【Wu’s Orphanage】
Oh my god, no way, no way!
Murphy already had a guess in his mind, and he quickly accelerated the integration of his memories, hoping to find key evidence to support his guess.
This one was stuffed under the bed by an older orphan. No, skip it!
This is about a young orphan throwing sand in the food. No, just ignore it!
This is the original person hating his own superpowers in bed. Alas, what a fool. That’s not the case. Let’s skip it!
This, well, this is okay, it’s about being taken care of by an old nun who is almost toothless when you are sick, but it’s not that, skip it!
Finally, Murphy found what he wanted at the end of the memory fragment.
Just yesterday, the old nun who used to take care of the original body died, and the original body completely collapsed. A large amount of black smoke emanated from his body. When he was about to destroy the orphanage, suddenly several Dementors in tattered cloaks appeared, and they actually kidnapped the original body.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at a building on an isolated island.
And just now, the original body completed its final explosion, a large amount of black smoke swallowed him, and then the memory came to an abrupt end.
Murphy didn’t know how to describe his mood at this moment.
The moment he saw those black-cloaked monsters, he confirmed his guess.
As a person who has read seven original books, eight movies, and three “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” movies, he instantly realized that he had come to the world of Harry Potter. The evidence was those monsters, which were the Dementors, a specialty of the Harry Potter world!
But what followed was a deep confusion. Why did the Dementors bring my original body, no, now myself, here? If I guessed correctly, this should be the wizard prison, Azkaban, the lair of the Dementors.
Through the memories of his original body, Murphy was very sure that he had not violated any laws of the Ministry of Magic. So why was he arrested? And even if he had violated the law, he should have been arrested by the Aurors. Why were the Dementors starting to arrest people?
Of course, these are not what worries Murphy the most. What he is most worried about now is his own situation.
You have to know that the body you have now is still a body, but it has just experienced the explosion of the Silent One, the soul of the original body exploded, and your soul replaced it.
He didn’t know if he still had magic power, but he didn’t know how to check it. Should he try?
Thinking of this, Murphy looked around.
Wow, I didn’t know until I saw it, and I was shocked. What’s the matter with that bone chair that is full of villain aura? And why am I lying on a long dining table?
After seeing a lot of empty plates placed on the edge of the long table, Murphy immediately imagined a picture that needed to be mosaiced.
What, are the Dementors going to eat something? Murphy was instantly disgusted by his own thoughts, and he quickly jumped down from the long table.
After coming down, Murphy stared at a dusty plate, focusing all his attention on the plate and began to imagine the plate flying.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour, until Murphy’s eyes were sore, not to mention the plate, even the dust inside did not move at all.
It seems that it is really useless, Murphy sighed helplessly.
In fact, he had been prepared in his heart. After all, all the magic power in the Silent One’s body would be transformed into Silent, and the original body had already experienced the Silent Outburst, so it was natural that he had no magic power.
I understand it, but I just can’t accept it.
Traveling to the Azkaban prison in the Harry Potter world without any magic power, who can accept this?
A series of desperate emotions such as despair, discouragement, and loss of all hope came to my mind.

Chapter 4 System is the standard for travelers (old version)
Just when Murphy was feeling discouraged, he suddenly heard a ding sound. He looked around the empty and deserted hall in a daze. After finding nothing, he thought he was hallucinating.
But after a ding sound, a mechanical female voice appeared.
[Emotion collection system is open! ]There is always a way out. As expected, time travel and the system are a perfect match. Since you have traveled through time, how can you do without the system!
Murphy was so excited that he couldn’t express it in words. He clenched his fists tightly and listened carefully to the introduction of the system with 120% concentration, fearing that he would miss anything.
[Everything in the world has emotions, some positive and some negative. Too much is as bad as too little. Extreme emotions can confuse people and hurt the enemy. The system has absorbed the naturally generated emotions to improve itself and attack the opponent.][Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse, Shocking Stage, Lv1 (upgradable), can increase the opponent’s single emotion value in battle. ][As the level increases, the number of emotions that can be disturbed increases, including joy, anger, worry, sadness, fear, and shock, the seven emotions, and then the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, the six desires. The highest is the thirteenth level of perfection, at which time the host can stir up the seven emotions and six desires of all things at will, becoming a veritable god of emotions! ][Method of absorbing emotions: According to the level of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse, any Seven Emotions and Six Desires that are naturally generated against the host can be absorbed. The host is currently at the first level of the Shocking Stage, and the shock generated against the host can be absorbed. The strength and identity of the generator will vary, and the amount generated will be different.][Current emotion points, 1000 points, initially given. Can be used to upgrade the level of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Spell, draw prizes, purchase items in the mall, and to increase the opponent’s emotion value during battle.][Note: Normal human emotions range from 0 to 100. ]During the system’s explanation, Murphy did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Only when the explanation was finished did he slowly curl the corners of his mouth.
It’s so damn advanced, it can stir up emotions, this thing is really interesting!
Take a deep breath, quickly, take a deep breath. Don’t be too excited. You still have to talk to the system.
Murphy cleared his throat and shouted, “Wait a minute, system, don’t think I’m a newbie. Where is the novice gift pack? Give it to me quickly.”
【……】
[The novice gift package is now being prepared, the props in the gift package are being modified, and the gift package is being distributed. 】
[Ding, the novice gift package has arrived, please check it! ]Look, if I didn’t say anything, the system would definitely embezzle the novice gift package. Murphy was proud of his own wit while looking at the three things floating in the air.
The first thing that catches your eye is an antique bracelet. Needless to say, this is definitely a storage bracelet, a standard item for time travelers.
Just after Murphy put the bracelet on his right wrist, a golden light flashed, and the bracelet disappeared. Instead, a faintly visible red line appeared on his right wrist, and relevant information about the bracelet appeared in his mind.
[Emotion Bracelet, one of the three-piece set of emotions, can be used to store soulless substances (sealed). ]It is indeed for storage, but what does this seal mean, how to remove the seal, what is the use of it after it is removed, can it be used to store living things?
A series of questions emerged in Murphy’s mind, but he did not dwell on them. Instead, he turned his attention to the next thing.
It was a palm-sized robe, but the moment Murphy touched it, it quickly grew larger.
After putting on the robe, the information about the robe also appeared in his mind.
[Emotional robe, one of the three-piece emotional suit, self-cleaning, size and style can be changed as desired, never damaged, increases the host’s defense by 20% (sealed)]It’s still sealed. Never mind, let’s just ignore it and watch the last one.
The last thing, and the one that Murphy was most unsure about, was like a blue beam of light without any substance.
When Murphy reached out to touch the last beam and picked it up, the blue beam instantly merged into his middle finger.
[Emotion Wand, one of the three-piece set of emotions, currently has no entity, please host to determine the possessed wand as soon as possible (sealed)][Equipped, emotional three-piece suit (sealed), activates one of the three-piece suit effects, cannot be peeped, immune to any peeping skills against the host. ]“System, what does this seal mean?” Murphy asked directly.
[Literally, the three pieces of equipment are now sealed. After the host removes the seal, they will have even more powerful attributes! ]“I know all this even if you don’t tell me. What I want to ask is how to contact the seal.”
[To remove the seal, the host needs to draw the relevant props in the system lottery. ]“You are forcibly suppressing my strength!” Murphy said indignantly.
[The system does not have any behavior that reduces the host’s strength. Any equipment explanation improves the host’s appearance. Only the improvement of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse is the core of the host. ][Also, according to the host’s future life trajectory, he will go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to become a first-year student. If the host cannot even achieve this, then the system can consider shutting down and replacing the host. ]Faced with the system’s unyielding answer, Murphy knew that there was no way to continue taking advantage of him. In fact, he was just talking. After all, he was not a retard and did not really think that the system was suppressing his strength.
What to do next? Needless to say, of course, the lottery!
Just when Murphy had the idea of ​​drawing a lottery, a huge roulette wheel suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.
What are you waiting for? The original god is starting. Wrong, spin my roulette wheel.
Accompanied by a cheerful BGM, the huge roulette wheel began to spin rapidly. Soon, as time passed, the roulette wheel gradually slowed down until it stopped completely.
Murphy looked down following the pointer on the top of the roulette wheel, and four big words appeared there clearly.
Thank you for your patronage?
Of course not, a treasure chest!
One shot hits the target!
Try again.
As he thought about it, the turntable started to spin again, and this time it pointed steadily at the treasure chest.
Could it be that I traveled through time and became a European, and my own destiny also changed, turning into a European God?
So what are you waiting for? Get started and disperse early, all in!
Now Murphy is completely obsessed. He no longer has the idea of ​​upgrading half and drawing lots the other half. He just keeps spinning the turntable.
Winning the treasure chest again made his mouth grin from ear to ear.
However, the next seven thanks for patronage also made him sober up again.
Chapter 5 Lucky Draw (Old Version)
Murphy looked at the three treasure chests in front of him and let out a slow breath.
Then his eyes became determined. Success or failure depends on this. Open it for me!
The three treasure chests were opened instantly, and three rays of light shot up into the sky. Murphy was not confused by the phenomenon before his eyes. He reached out to the first treasure chest that was glowing with golden light with trembling hands.
[A cup of holy water, the 10086th cup of holy water produced from the Holy Grail. Although its efficacy is quite different from the first 100 cups, it still has the function of repairing the body! ]The money was really withdrawn!
After reading the introduction, Murphy’s eyes became moist. His magic power could finally be restored!
Without saying a word, he drank the cup of holy water.
Suddenly, a powerful force emerged from his body. Although Murphy couldn’t see inside yet, he knew that his magic power was back!
Stay calm, stay calm, there are two more.
Murphy no longer trembled at this time, and he reached out directly to the second treasure chest that was glowing white.
[The small dining table is a treasure from Grimm’s fairy tale. To use it, just put the small dining table on the ground and say to it, “Little dining table, open it quickly.”]To be honest, the treasure in front of him may not be of much use in the future, but it is different now. It can save Murphy’s life. After all, the original body has not eaten anything since he came in yesterday!
Murphy quickly put the small dining table on the ground and shouted at it, “Small dining table, open it quickly!”
A flash of white light passed by, and the ordinary wooden dining table instantly changed into an elegant and simple dining table, covered with a white tablecloth, with knives and forks laid out, a few plates of not-so-good food, and a half-opened bottle of whiskey.
Looking at the steaming food on the table, Murphy didn’t care too much about anything else. He simply pulled over a chair and started to eat.
Only when the food on the table was almost gone did Murphy burp in satisfaction. Then he wiped his hands with the white tablecloth and finally touched the last box that was glowing with white light.
[The Patronus Charm comes from the Harry Potter world. It is a famous defensive magic in the world. It can effectively reduce the negative emotions caused by the use of black magic. At the same time, it has a special effect on certain creatures. At the same time, under the magic modification of the system, the spell is engraved in the host’s body and does not require a wand or spell. At the same time, the spell will change according to the magic power in the host’s body. ]When Murphy saw the name, he immediately became dissatisfied. After all, he had learned this spell completely by himself. Even though it was modified, to what extent could it be modified?
As Murphy thought about it, he casually shouted, “Expecto Patronus!”
Although he didn’t have to use the spell, wouldn’t it be more impressive to shout out the name of the magic he was going to use first?
“Fuck, what is this thing!”
Murphy was stunned when he saw the silver creature that appeared out of nowhere. He claimed that he knew the world of Harry Potter very well, but he had never thought about…
A Dementor emitting silver-white light was floating in front of him.
The patronus turned out to be a Dementor. I was afraid that I had come to a fake Harry Potter world.
Murphy was stunned for a long time before he cautiously took a few steps closer. He did not feel the biting cold as he had imagined. On the contrary, he felt a warmth from the heart, which made him feel hope and beauty.
Although it looks a little weird, overall, it is still a patronus. Murphy nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, Murphy suddenly felt an indescribable chill from his bones, which made him shiver uncontrollably.
Only then did he realize that, at some point, the entire hall was suddenly filled with floating Dementors!
“Oh my god, what are you doing?” Murphy swallowed and felt his scalp tingling. Then he quietly moved back and said to his patron saint.
“Brother, I may not be able to hold on any longer. Can you push forward first?”
I don’t know if the patronus understood Murphy’s words, but it actually slowly approached the Dementor army.
“Damn, brother, you are really brave.” Murphy said with emotion, “But, brother, don’t get too close to them. After all, there are so many of them and they are so powerful. We have to know how to avoid them.”
This time the Patronus did not obey and flew straight to the opposite side of the Dementors army.
Looking at the two armies with huge differences in strength facing each other, Murphy Khan stayed, but the next scene made him speechless.
I saw the dark army of Dementors bending down to their patronus one after another.
“Oh my god, what kind of style is this?”
At this time, Murphy’s brain had completely stopped working. He just stared blankly at the two parties in the air. After a while, he returned to normal and tried to convey his thoughts to the guardian angel.
After the silver Dementor received Murphy’s thoughts, it raised its head and seemed to issue some instructions, and the Dementors left the room obediently one by one.
Seeing this scene, Murphy began to brainstorm frantically. After a long time, he came up with a few ideas.
Is there something special about this body of mine? After all, I have never heard of Dementors kidnapping people, let alone this weird patronus of mine.
Apart from this explanation, Murphy couldn’t think of any other reasons.
But then again, the original body really deserves to be from the [Wu’s Orphanage], where they really don’t keep idle people!
Let’s not consider all these for now. The biggest problem now is whether I can still go to Hogwarts, and how can I get to Hogwarts?
If you want to go to Hogwarts, the most important thing is to have magical powers, which I meet now. If I meet the requirements, I will definitely receive an admission letter, but how can I receive an admission letter here?
No, this doesn’t seem to be a problem.
If I don’t receive the admission letter, then the ones who should be worried should be Hogwarts, or the two headmasters Dumbledore and McGonagall.
Moreover, my exact address will definitely be on the admission letter, and when they see the address, they will definitely come to find me.
After figuring this out, Murphy immediately relaxed, and then his eyes rolled.
Maybe if we make some plans, we can take advantage of Dumbledore.
After all, he needs emotional values ​​now, and as Dumbledore is the leader of the wizarding world, his fur must be very thick. Thinking of this, Murphy immediately began to plan.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 6: First Confrontation with Dumbledore (Old Version)
[Emotion value (shock) +100 from Albus Dumbledore! ][Emotion value (shock) +50 from Minerva McGonagall! ][Emotion value (shock) +20 from Amelia Bones! ][Emotion value (shock) +70 from Albus Dumbledore! ]……..
Murphy, lying on the hospital bed, looked at the system’s prompt with satisfaction. At this moment, his emotional value instantly jumped from zero to 1090 points.
Just when he was feeling proud of himself, his brows suddenly frowned and he said silently in his heart.
“That’s not right, system. Is there something wrong with the value? Why is Dumbledore’s so much higher than the other two?”
[The various indicators of the system show that there is no error in this absorption. Please check it. However, there is one thing that the host needs to pay attention to. That is, the other emotions generated by the other two, such as fear, are not absorbed by the host at present. In addition, Dumbledore’s status and position are far higher than those two, so the emotional value generated is the highest after the addition process.][The specific algorithm is as follows: ￥%*~{}[]/@$%^*_+=-~`\. {[%]|\^}~. ]“Okay, you can leave now. Your calculation is quite accurate.” Murphy looked at the calculation formula that looked like garbled code to him, and immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation. However, he couldn’t just say that he couldn’t understand it at all, as this would only lower his dignity as the host!
“Child, it seems that you have woken up. How do you feel?” Suddenly a kind voice came from not far away.
Murphy looked in the direction of the sound and saw Albus Dumbledore suddenly appear at the door.
As he spoke, he walked towards Murphy slowly.
“I’ve seen you.” Murphy blurted out, although he was no longer afraid of the Dementia Curse.
However, Murphy was also very wary of Dumbledore, who had almost turned the Imperius Curse into a passive skill and had lived for more than 110 years.
“Oh, you were conscious last night too?” Dumbledore looked at Murphy in surprise.
Humph, he is indeed an old pervert. Seeing that the system did not record any emotional values, Murphy silently complained in his heart.
“No, it was in a dream. Yes, it was in a dream. I saw you.” Murphy frowned and pretended to try to recall while speaking intermittently. At the same time, his brain was working frantically, thinking about how to maximize the benefits.
“It was a dream, right? What else did you see besides me?” Dumbledore retracted his shocked expression and asked expressionlessly.
“Also, there’s a boy with black hair. You seem to be standing in front of a mirror. I don’t know what you are talking about.” Murphy stopped here. He covered his head and looked at the system that kept making ding-ding-ding sounds.
【Defend against the spiritual exploration from Albus Dumbledore! 】
[Emotion value (shock) +88 from Albus Dumbledore! ][Emotion value (shock) +66 from Albus Dumbledore! ][Emotion value (shock) +18 from Albus Dumbledore! ][Emotion value (shock) +1 from Albus Dumbledore! ]NICE! Looking at the emotional value that arrived, Murphy immediately knew that his plan was successful.
“No, I can’t remember the rest.” Murphy said breathlessly. Looking at the value of the emotion value, he quickly closed his mouth. After all, the value had reached one, and there was no benefit in continuing to reveal more information.
The boy with black hair should be Harry Potter, and the mirror should be the Mirror of Erised. This is the plan I just came up with today. Does he really have the ability to predict the future?
Dumbledore was extremely shocked at this moment. To be honest, he was shocked when he heard it from ‘Murphy’ last night, but after he came back, he looked at it carefully until midnight. He felt that ‘Murphy’ was a bit similar to Sybil (Professor of Divination at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry).
But the scene before him forced him to believe it. Could it be that this child had really seen the long river of time?
“It’s okay, kid. If you can’t remember, don’t think about it. Just tell me when you remember.” Dumbledore sat on the bed next to him and looked at Murphy kindly.
“Okay, okay, grandpa.” Isn’t it just acting? Even though I have never acted before, I have seen pigs run even if I have never eaten pork. At least I can act better than those young actors.
Then, the two of them had a friendly conversation in this harmonious atmosphere, during which Dumbledore introduced to Murphy everything that he and the freshmen needed to know.
Murphy also perfectly performed what a supporting actor needs to do, with his occasional exclamations and eager eyes, which directly brought out the emotional value.
“Well, Professor Dumbledore, I, I don’t seem to have money to pay tuition or buy textbooks.” Murphy said with a dim look in his eyes.
“That’s not a problem, Mr. Deeds. Um, can I call you Murphy?” After seeing Murphy nod, Dumbledore continued, “Originally, Hogwarts would give a subsidy to students in need, but your situation is very, very complicated. The Ministry of Magic has already decided to give you 3,000 gold Galleons as compensation, and if you agree to receive this compensation, you must keep it absolutely confidential. Of course, if you disagree, Hogwarts can also give you a subsidy.”
“I agree! I will never tell anyone about this!” Murphy agreed without thinking.
In fact, if you want to maximize your benefits, the best way is to report Murphy’s experience. After gaining the sympathy of the vast number of kind-hearted (and idle) wizards, you can go to the Ministry of Magic to negotiate and you will definitely get higher compensation. After all, the Dementors kidnapping little wizards is something that the magical world cannot accept.
However, on the one hand, Murphy did not want to put himself in a high position of openness and transparency. After all, he was a time traveler. On the other hand, don’t think that the Ministry of Magic is a government department and they are all great and glorious. Novels are always just novels, and this is the real world. In the real world, politics is dirty!
“Since you agree, then it’s confirmed. Tomorrow, you and Hagrid, the ranger of Hogwarts, will go to Diagon Alley to buy things for school. By the way, there will be a little wizard with you. Maybe you will find him familiar, but I hope you don’t tell him too much. After all, he is still too… Well, he is still… Never mind, it’s not good for him to know too much, okay?”
Dumbledore originally wanted to say that Harry was too young, but Murphy in front of him was about the same age as Harry. Then he wanted to say that Harry Potter was still an orphan, but Murphy was also an orphan, an orphan who didn’t even have an aunt. This made Dumbledore speechless.
“Okay, professor. I will tell you everything I remember and no one else!” Murphy said obediently.
Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, then gave Murphy a few more instructions and left the ward.
“Old fox!”
“Little fox!”
After the two separated, they shouted silently in their hearts almost at the same time!
Chapter 7: Heading to Diagon Alley (Old Version)
Near noon the next day, Dumbledore appeared in the ward again. This time, without saying much, he took Murphy and used Apparition to come to a narrow passage.
“After you go out from here and turn left, you will see the Leaky Cauldron. You can wait at the door of the bar and you will soon see Hagrid and the others. Don’t worry that you haven’t seen him. He is very tall and you will know him as soon as you meet him. By the way, there is also this…” Dumbledore said as he handed Murphy an antique-style copper key with a number.
“The Ministry of Magic asked me to give this to you. It contains your compensation. Originally, they wanted to give you all the Galleons directly, but considering that it is not safe for a little wizard like you to carry so much money, I asked them to rent a vault for you in Gringotts. When you go there later, just give the key to the goblins and they will take you there.”
When Dumbledore said this, he hesitated for a moment, but soon returned to normal, took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Murphy.
“This is for Hagrid. Give it to him when you get out of Gringotts.”
After explaining everything clearly, Dumbledore disappeared with a snap, while Murphy sauntered off the trail.
As soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw the legendary Leaky Cauldron, right between a bookstore and a record store. The shabby sign seemed so out of place with the surrounding shops.
And when he walked to the door of the Leaky Cauldron, there happened to be a burly man who looked like two adults, no, not two but four, two on top and two on the bottom, like four people stacked together, walking towards this side.
“Are you Hagrid?” Murphy shouted quickly after Hagrid walked in.
“Ah?” Hagrid was stunned, then he immediately hid something behind him vigilantly.
“I’m Murphy, Murphy Acridis Dees. Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to come to you. He asked you to take me to Diagon Alley to buy things for school.” Murphy said hurriedly as he looked at the nervous Hagrid, fearing that Hagrid would have a stress reaction or something.
“Oh, yes, yes, I remember now, it’s you.” Hagrid finally remembered.
Just this morning, when he was still asleep, Fawkes suddenly appeared beside him and conveyed Dumbledore’s message to him, which was indeed to ask him to bring another little wizard with him.
“Come, let me introduce you, this is Harry, Harry Potter.” Hagrid pulled out the thing he had just hidden behind him.
Seeing the black hair, green eyes, the iconic eyes, and most importantly the lightning scar on the forehead, Murphy was immediately excited, but in order to stabilize the character, after all, the original body didn’t know what Harry Potter was.
So Murphy was about to pretend to be calm, but then he thought of something and deliberately showed a hint of excitement, but immediately disguised himself.
“Hello, Harry Potter, I’m Murphy, can I call you Harry?”
“Of course, Murphy, right? Nice to meet you.” Harry Potter said happily.
Seeing that the two little guys in front of him had become familiar with each other, Hagrid smiled with relief.
What happened next was the same as in the original book. When they entered the Leaky Cauldron, everyone’s attention was attracted to Harry Potter. They surrounded Harry Potter and cheered. Even Professor Quirrell, a professor at Hogwarts, took the initiative to shake Harry Potter’s hand.
Harry Potter enjoyed this atmosphere very much. Although he knew that he did not deserve it, he still could not help but curl up the corners of his mouth until the three of them came to Diagon Alley through the hole in the patio and walked towards Gringotts.
“Murphy, I, I didn’t mean to ignore you, just now…” Harry said to Murphy a little nervously.
“What do you mean by ignoring? What are you talking about? Look at that broom. Do wizards really fly on brooms?” As a former adult, how could Murphy care about these things? On the contrary, the moment he saw Quirrell, he tried his best to hide himself behind Hagrid. Although he knew that it was impossible for the great Voldemort to pay attention to a little wizard like him who had not yet entered school, out of instinct, he still did not want to face him.
After hearing what Murphy said, Harry knew that his new friend really didn’t care about this, and was immediately attracted by the various magical goods in Diagon Alley.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Gringotts, and after saying something to Hagrid, Murphy went to another window, put the key that Dumbledore gave him on the counter, and then said to the goblin who was looking down at him from above.
“I need to get some money.”
The goblin picked up the key on the counter, then called another goblin out from inside the counter. After taking the key, he took Murphy through a door in the hall to the track.
It didn’t take long for Murphy to withdraw the money and return to the hall to wait for Harry and the others.
Perhaps they had a lot to do, so the two of them didn’t come out until Murphy became a little impatient.
After everything was done, the three of them left Gringotts.
“Professor Dumbledore asked me to give you this.” Murphy took out the envelope given by Dumbledore from his pocket and handed it to Hagrid who looked stunned.
After Hagrid took the letter and opened it, a red light from inside hit him right on the head.
“It is indeed a letter from Professor Dumbledore, but why…?” Hagrid frowned. He really couldn’t think of why Dumbledore would arrange it this way.
But as a loyal brother of Dumbledore, adhering to the principle that what Dumbledore said must be right, and if it was wrong it was because he had not fully understood it, Hagrid still honestly handed a small black cloth bag to the confused Murphy.
Actually, Murphy wanted to refuse. After all, as a time traveler who was familiar with the original novel, he certainly knew what was inside. It was a hot potato. However, after seeing Hagrid’s determined eyes, he also knew that he could not reason with an upright person, so Murphy had no choice but to accept it.
During the following journey, Murphy was very cautious at the beginning, and would touch the Philosopher’s Stone from time to time to see if it was still there.
But later on, he figured it out. He was just a little wizard now, so what did it have to do with him whether he got lost or not?
If it’s lost, it’s Dumbledore’s problem!
Chapter 8 Ollivander’s Wand Shop (Old Edition)
“You are such a picky customer. But never mind. There is always a wand that suits you. Try this one. It is eleven inches long, made of holly and with phoenix feathers.”
An old wizard with silver-white hair, very old but still bright eyes, was searching among the piles of boxes.
Judging from the empty boxes scattered around him, he must have tried it many times.
That’s right, after Murphy and Harry finished shopping for everything else, they came to their last stop in Diagon Alley, Ollivander’s Wizardry Shop.
The first one to choose a wand was Harry Potter. At this point he had already tried many wands, but still had no success.
Murphy, who was standing aside, did not show any impatience. Although he had seen this scene many times in his previous life, he had never actually experienced it, so he watched everything happening in front of him with interest.
When Harry took the wand with destiny from Ollivander, colorful golden light suddenly emanated from the top of the wand, illuminating the entire Ollivander’s wand shop.
Looking at the room filled with rosy clouds, Ollivander immediately burst into laughter. “I knew it, I knew it. The wand chooses the wizard. Ollivander will not let any wizard leave empty-handed.”
“But this is really amazing.” Ollivander took the wand from Harry and said in amazement while wrapping it.
“What’s so wonderful?” Harry asked curiously.
“Do you know what the core of this wand is?” Ollivander asked with a mysterious smile.
“Wand core? What did you say just now? Phoenix tail feathers?” Harry thought for a moment and answered immediately.
“Yes, it is the phoenix tail feather. However, I got two adjacent tail feathers from that phoenix. This is one of them. Do you know where the other one went?”
“Where did you go?” Harry asked curiously.
“Its owner is the one who left the mark on your forehead!” Ollivander said earnestly.
Harry wanted to ask something, but when he saw Ollivander looking at Murphy who had been watching the show, he had to shut up.
“There is another strange gentleman. Come on, tell me which hand you are best at using?” Ollivander turned and looked at Murphy.
“Right hand.” After seeing the show end, Murphy lost interest. After all, no matter what his wand looked like, it would be taken over by the emotional wand.
After hearing Murphy’s answer, Ollivander’s tape measure started working. It floated in front of Murphy and automatically measured the length of Murphy’s arms, legs, upper body and lower body.
While working with the tape measure, Ollivander did not rush to look for the wand. Instead, he looked at a tattered notebook carefully and glanced at Murphy from time to time.
“Sir, could you please hurry up? It’s getting dark outside.” After the tape measure had finished measuring everything, Murphy saw that Ollivander still didn’t move, so he urged.
“It’s strange, there’s no way I could have forgotten it. Why does this face feel so familiar?” Ollivander muttered to himself as he casually handed the wand beside him to Murphy.
Originally, Murphy thought any wand would do, but when he heard what Ollivander said, he immediately changed his mind, waved his wand casually, and then spoke to Ollivander.
“Mr. Ollivander, it seems that this wand did not choose me. Should we try another one? And what did you just say familiar? Have you seen me before? Why don’t I remember seeing you before?”
“Oh? You also know that the wand chooses the wizard?” Hearing Murphy’s words, Ollivander looked at Murphy with satisfaction, then immediately frowned again.
“That’s not right, the age doesn’t match. What’s your name?”
“Murphy Ecclestone Dees.” Murphy replied immediately.
“That’s the name!” Ollivander frowned even more tightly after hearing Murphy’s answer.
“What’s wrong with this name? Is there any problem?” Murphy asked cautiously.
“Where are your parents? Why didn’t they come with you?” Ollivander asked suddenly.
“I actually grew up in an orphanage and never saw my parents. My name was found in the package I carried with me!” Murphy told the truth.
Hearing his answer, Ollivander showed a look of understanding, then put away the tattered notebook and began to search on the shelf.
“Mr. Ollivander, do you know anything about my background?” Murphy asked anxiously.
“How would I know? I’m just a wand maker.” Ollivander said without turning his head.
“Murphy, I know the feeling of an orphan best. If there is anything you don’t want to tell others, you can tell me. Although I still have an aunt, I have also lost my parents, so I can be considered an orphan!” Harry suddenly came to Murphy and looked at Murphy with a look as if he had finally found his own kind, and that his own kind were even more miserable than himself.
Although this look was neither gloating nor a sense of superiority, it still made Murphy feel awkward.
What followed was half an hour of mechanical time, with Ollivander handing the wand to Murphy, who then pulled the wand back, mumbling that it was not okay, and so on.
Just when Murphy couldn’t hold on any longer, suddenly at the lowest end of the wand rack, or even the place that was used as a pad for the rack, a wand suddenly broke out of the box and went into Murphy’s hands.
What kind of feeling is that? Murphy felt like he couldn’t describe it. If he had to say it, it would be that his lost limbs had grown back!
As Murphy grasped the magic wand, a colorful black light suddenly emanated from the tip of the wand. As the black light spread, it was also corroded by a deep chill that penetrated into the bones.
Murphy was the first to react. He quickly waved his wand twice and the whole room suddenly recovered.
[Emotion value (shock) +100 from Garrick Ollivander]This old guy must know something? Looking at the system prompt that suddenly appeared, Murphy also confirmed his previous guess.
“Mr. Ollivander, I wonder what this wand is?”
“I don’t know. This wand was not made by me, nor is it the work of our Ollivander family. Someone pawned it to us a long time ago. Since it has chosen you, you can take it with you. No need for money or anything. No one else can use it except you!” Ollivander stopped here. He looked at Murphy and seemed to be hesitant to speak. In the end, he just shook his head.
After Murphy and Harry left Ollivander’s Wand Shop, the store suddenly twisted, and with a snap, Dumbledore appeared here.
Chapter 9 Return to Hogwarts (Old Edition)
After leaving Diagon Alley and sending a reluctant Harry Potter on the train back to the Dursleys, Murphy followed Hagrid to a remote path.
“Wow, this motorcycle looks cool!” Looking at the motorcycle that Hagrid got out from somewhere, Murphy touched its metal body with envy.
“It’s cool, right? Although its owner is not a good person, this car is still great!” Hagrid patted the front of the car with great satisfaction.
“Come up, let’s go back to Hogwarts now. Although I would like to take you for a walk, it would be better to hand that thing over to Dumbledore as soon as possible.”
Soon the two of them drove the motorcycle back to Hogwarts. Above the castle, Hagrid circled several times before landing next to his cottage at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
At this time, Dumbledore was already waiting here.
“It seems that you have had a very pleasant journey.” Dumbledore said to the two with a smile.
“Yes, it’s very enjoyable. I didn’t know there were so many wizards and so many strange things in the world.” Murphy said half pretending and half sincerely. After all, movies are just movies.
“Oh, and here’s this thing.” Murphy said as he took out the small black bag from his pocket and handed it to Dumbledore.
“Didn’t you open it and take a look? Aren’t you curious about what’s inside?” Dumbledore took the small bag casually, put it away without opening it, and asked curiously.
“No, no matter what’s in it, it’s not mine. Since it’s not mine, it doesn’t matter what it is!” Murphy shrugged indifferently.
“Really? It’s a pity that some people don’t think this way. They always think about snatching other people’s things, whether it’s things or something else…” Dumbledore said with emotion.
“By the way, Professor, now that school hasn’t started, can I leave Hogwarts?” Murphy asked, changing the subject.
“Why do you choose to leave? You seem to be from the Wu Orphanage, right? Do you still have any ties there?” Dumbledore asked curiously.
“Bond? Of course not. They all think I’m a monster, and the nanny who was best to me has returned to the Lord. I just feel that now that I’m not a student of Hogwarts, I have no right to live here.” Murphy said in a flat tone.
Listening to Murphy’s answer, Dumbledore felt as if he had gone back many years, to a young wizard who also came from the Wood Orphanage. He was eager to stay in Hogwarts during the holidays, but due to his own negligence and limited position, he was unable to give him the necessary help, and as a result, he grew up to be…
“You have already received the admission letter, so Hogwarts is your home. If you want to stay here, no one will say anything. There are many empty rooms in the castle. I can prepare one for you. I don’t think this will be difficult for me. After all, I am still the headmaster of Hogwarts.” Dumbledore blinked at Murphy and said with a smile.
Not to mention that Murphy had nowhere to go, even Dumbledore didn’t want him to leave. After all, there was a wizard who might really be able to see the future, and he didn’t want Murphy to enter that person’s field of vision.
“Since the principal has said so, can you give me a room?” Murphy was not an ungrateful person, so he took advantage of the situation and said.
“I think this won’t be difficult for Mr. Filch, but it’s only for a month. After the school starts and the houses are sorted, you still need to live in the college dormitory. It will be better for you to live with people of your age.” Dumbledore said as he waved to the two of them.
“Come on, I believe you all haven’t had dinner yet.”
After dinner, at Dumbledore’s instruction, an old man with a gloomy face and a cat came to Murphy. He first bowed respectfully to Dumbledore, then glanced at Murphy and said in a hoarse voice.
“Come with me.”
Soon Murphy followed him to a room at the entrance of the left corridor on the second floor of the castle.
“Send a house-elf to clean up this place!” Filch shouted at the top of his voice.
Immediately, there was a crackling sound, and then a creature less than half a meter tall, with big ears and eyes the size of tennis balls, appeared out of thin air. He was wearing a tattered pillowcase.
“Clean up this place. This troublesome guy is going to stay here for a while. Prepare some beds and stuff.” It was obvious that Filch was very dissatisfied with the extra work.
“Also, although it’s not school time now, I hope you don’t go out at night. And if you get dirty outside, don’t step into the castle, or you’ll have to wipe the entire castle floor with a rag!”
After Filch finished speaking, he left without caring about Murphy’s reaction.
This attitude immediately made Murphy very unhappy. This old guy was indeed not a good person. He had originally thought about not looking for trouble, but he did not expect him to have this attitude.
There are not many people in the castle now, but after school starts, huh, don’t blame yourself. Thinking of this, Murphy smiled crookedly, which immediately scared the house-elf who was cleaning diligently on the side, and he quickly speeded up his actions.
In just a few minutes, the house-elf had completely cleaned the room, and before Murphy could say a word of thanks, the elf left quickly.
Looking at the empty room, Murphy was filled with emotion. Although there was nothing in it, it was still his temporary residence.
At night, Murphy lay on the bed and took out the magic wand he had just obtained in the afternoon. After stroking it for a while, he resolutely integrated the blue beam of light remaining in his finger into it.
[The Emotion Wand is being implemented…. 】
[Implementation completed, Emotion Wand, one of the three-piece set of emotions, increases the power of emotion spells by 50%. According to the effect of the wand itself, it will cause double damage when using black magic. (Sealed)]I found a treasure! Murphy was excited to see the effect of the emotion wand after it was installed. He was immediately surprised. He didn’t expect that the wand he chose would have such a powerful bonus to black magic!
As a time traveler, Murphy has no prejudice against black magic. After all, all fear comes from insufficient firepower, and the power of black magic is obvious to all!
Chapter 10: New life is finally here (old version)
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and soon the day of school started arrived.
After a month of loneliness, Murphy could no longer contain his excitement.
Before evening, he arrived at the gate of Hogwarts Castle early, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his classmates.
As time passed, Professor McGonagall got dressed and came to the door. Looking at Murphy who had been waiting there, she felt mixed emotions.
Thinking about the scene she saw in Azkaban a month ago, even she couldn’t help but pray silently. Gryffindor has been at the bottom for so many years, and this one must be no pushover either. He must not be assigned to Gryffindor!
After a while, there were knocks on the oak door of Hogwarts Castle.
When Professor McGonagall heard the knock on the door, she stopped daydreaming, straightened her already clean and tidy robe, and her expression became more serious.
“Professor McGonagall, these are all first years,” Hagrid said respectfully.
“Okay, thank you Hagrid, now just leave them to me.” McGonagall said while winking at Murphy.
Seeing this, Murphy obediently blended into the crowd.
“Murphy, why are you here?” Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in Murphy’s ears.
“I’m a little early. Good evening, Harry.” Murphy looked at the familiar scar and greeted Harry, while silently muttering in his heart that he was only a month early.
“That’s what I was wondering, why couldn’t I find you on the train? Let me tell you…” Harry then began to chatter to Murphy about what happened on the train.
Hermione Granger, upon hearing the name, Murphy couldn’t help but start looking around, but it was too chaotic here, with forty or fifty freshmen crowded together, and there was no way to find the figure in his memory.
“Quiet!” Professor McGonagall shouted as she listened to the chaotic noise below. “Wait here for a moment. The interior has not been arranged yet. I will come and take you there once it is arranged.”
After saying this, Professor McGonagall turned and walked into the Great Hall, while the first-year students stayed in the entrance hall waiting.
“Do you know how to divide the colleges?” Harry asked in a low voice to the people around him.
“I heard from Fred that there seems to be some kind of test, a very, very dangerous test. Only those who pass the test will be sorted into the new house.” A boy with freckles all over his face and red hair said with fear.
“And George told me that anyone who fails the test will be eaten by a monster.”
Murphy looked at the young wizards around him, all of whom had tensed up. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He silently chanted in his heart, “Expecto Patronus!”
The moment he finished chanting the spell, a silver-white Dementor suddenly floated above everyone’s head.
“Ah! What is that thing!” Murphy shouted, pointing at the Dementors in the air.
Hearing Murphy’s voice, all the freshmen raised their heads, looked at the Dementors in the air, and rushed into the auditorium crying.
Watts was shocked. Seeing the scene that was completely different from what he had predicted, Murphy quickly put away the Dementors and followed the crowd into the auditorium!
“What! Are! You! Doing!” Looking at the freshmen who suddenly rushed in, Professor McGonagall’s face turned pale with anger, and she shouted word by word.
“Professor, there is a monster!” A little wizard stammered and pointed behind him.
“There are no monsters. They are just some ghosts.” Professor McGonagall was so angry that she was almost fuming as she looked at the ghosts floating in.
“Okay, Minerva, don’t be angry, they just haven’t seen it before. Let’s prepare to start the sorting ceremony.” Dumbledore, who was sitting at the top, saw that McGonagall was about to explode with anger, and hurriedly comforted her. At the same time, he was also very puzzled, because the freshmen in the past had never been scared like this by ghosts.
“Now, everyone line up in two teams and follow me!” Professor McGonagall took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said in a cold voice.
When the freshmen saw that there were indeed no monsters coming in, and with so many people here and the scary professor, they all immediately became well behaved and separated into two rows.
And what about Murphy, the instigator? He followed Harry and secretly opened the system interface. Seeing that there was no information entered at all, he sighed secretly.
In fact, when he saw the performance of the freshmen, he was already mentally prepared.
How could they be surprised when they look like this? They are all scared!
Of course, he was not too disappointed. After all, it was just a casual move. Tonight’s sorting ceremony was the key moment for him to make the most of the money!
Thinking of this, Murphy adjusted his mentality and followed the team to the innermost part of the auditorium.
A stool without a back had already been placed there, and on top of the stool was a tattered hat with its head tied in an irregular pattern.
At this time, Professor McGonagall also stopped and looked at the freshmen sternly.
And then, the hat spoke.
To be honest, although Murphy had seen this scene many times in movies in his previous life, he still felt novel and incredible when he saw it again.
“Maybe you think I’m not good-looking, but don’t judge people by their appearance. Even if there are hats similar to mine, they are not as magical as mine…”
“…brave Gryffindor, clever Ravenclaw, upright Hufflepuff and ambitious Slytherin…”
“Don’t be afraid, I just have a thinking cap on my head, and I will assign you to the college that suits you.”
After the Sorting Hat sang the song, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium, but Murphy, who was too conservative, was too tired to complain.
Question: How to sing well?
The answer is resonance. Different melodies resonate with different cavities, such as chest resonance, oral resonance, nasal resonance and so on.
So the question is, does the hat have a chest, mouth and nose?
Of course not, so the lyrics of this song may be good, and the melody may be okay, but it really sounds bad when the Sorting Hat sings it.
Murphy resisted the urge to cover his ears and listened to the entire song. At this point, he was no longer ashamed of his subsequent behavior.
Chapter 11: Project Murphy is officially underway (old version)
The lights were on in the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, and the sorting ceremony for freshmen was currently underway.
Deputy Headmistress Professor McGonagall stood in the middle, holding a piece of parchment in her hand and speaking to the freshmen.
“Whoever’s name I call out will come forward, sit on the stool, put the Sorting Hat on your head, and wait for the Sorting Hat to sort you.”
To be honest, although Professor McGonagall has led many freshmen in the Sorting Ceremony, she always feels a little uneasy for some reason. Is there something special happening tonight? Let’s finish it quickly!
“First one, Hannah Abbott!”
As the saying goes, things change, but Hannah Abbott remains unchanged.
Soon, a little girl with two ponytails and a rosy face walked out of the team. From her confused and slightly surprised look, Murphy could see that she obviously didn’t know the process.
You should know that the Abbott family is one of the twenty-eight sacred nobles among the wizarding families, and the Leaky Cauldron, the face of the magical world, is their family’s property.
How could someone with such a background not know about the Sorting Ceremony?
Why would wizards keep this a secret? Is it really just a bad idea?
While Murphy was still thinking silently, the result of Hannah Abbott’s division had already come out.
“Hufflepuff!” the Sorting Hat shouted loudly.
The moment the Sorting Hat’s voice fell, the table on the right side of the team applauded and cheered.
And just as Hannah Abbott rushed down to get a table, Professor McGonagall had already read out the second name without stopping: “Susan Burns!”
Murphy didn’t have time to pay attention to all this. He looked around and saw the order of the four colleges.
From left to right are Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.
It’s actually the order in the movie!
This is not right. You know, in the original world, he once read a comparison between the movie and the novel, and one of the comparisons was about buying a magic wand.
In the movie, Harry goes to buy his wand by himself, but in the novel, Hagrid and Harry go together.
When he was in Diagon Alley, he saw Hagrid enter Ollivander’s Wand Shop with them and thought this was the world of the novel, but why was the location different now?
Although there is not much difference between the movie and the novel, there are still some differences. You know, this is Murphy’s biggest trump card besides the system, so he must figure it out!
“Hermione Granger!”
Just as Murphy was still desperately trying to recall the details of the post he had read in his previous life, Hermione’s name was called out by Professor McGonagall, and a little girl with an astonishing amount of fluffy hair ran out.
Murphy looked over quickly. Yes, it was Emma. No, it was Hermione in the movie version. You know, Hermione in the original book was just a girl with average looks.
Without any surprise, Hermione ended up going to Gryffindor.
The next main personnel were the same. Malfoy went to Slytherin, Ron went to Gryffindor, and Harry Potter was even less likely to be wrong. He sat at the Gryffindor table amid the excited applause of the old double-standard Dumbledore.
“Murphy Eccleezy Dees!”
Finally, Murphy’s name finally rang out from Professor McGonagall’s mouth.
Murphy, excited, quickly ran up and sat on the stool, then put the Sorting Hat on his head. After all the preparations were done, Murphy began to recall according to his plan.
At this moment, all he recalled were the horror movies he had seen in his original world, such as Saw and the Ten Cruel Tortures of the Qing Dynasty. He imagined all the executioners to be himself, and as for the person being tortured, it was naturally the Sorting Hat on his head.
“Let me see what qualities this little wizard possesses?”
At this moment, the Sorting Hat had not realized what kind of scene it would face next. It habitually used its solidified Legilimency to try to see the thoughts of the little wizard.
At this moment, the students in the audience and the professors on the stage saw a scene they had never seen before, that is, the Sorting Hat was shaking violently on Murphy’s head.
“Merlin, please don’t let anything happen.” Looking at this scene, the uneasiness in Professor McGonagall’s heart, which had subsided, rose again. She quickly took a few steps closer to Murphy in case anything unexpected happened.
As for Murphy, he also became nervous when he saw Professor McGonagall approaching. This was the best opportunity to make some money.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was almost ten minutes. At this time, everyone in the Hogwarts Great Hall focused their attention on Murphy.
Seeing that the Sorting Hat still had no intention of speaking, Murphy fortunately released the protection of the Emotion Suit and let the memories of the flying Dementors fill his mind!
“Azkaban! It has to be Azkaban!” The sharp voice of the Sorting Hat resounded throughout the hall.
“No, I will never go back to that damn place!” Murphy’s voice mixed with anger and surprise rang out. He stood up suddenly and threw the hat on his head to the ground!
“Murphy!!!” Professor McGonagall came back to her senses from her shock. She quickly picked up the Sorting Hat from the ground, glared at Murphy fiercely, and then brought the Sorting Hat to the frowning Dumbledore.
At this moment, Murphy stood there firmly like a lone hero, his eyes sad and stubborn.
The students in the audience were already excited. Most of the senior students knew what Azkaban was. They explained to the junior students that this was a wizard prison where only the most vicious criminals could enter.
After a moment, Murphy pinched his thigh desperately with his hands. Now only the pain could make him suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
There were too many, really too many. The notification sounds in the system space almost deafened his ears, and the notifications of emotional value deposits kept falling like snowflakes.
What is a wave of fat? This is called a wave of fat!
Just as Murphy was imagining that he could kick Dumbledore and punch Voldemort, Dumbledore’s voice rang out.
“Murphy, don’t stand there, come here.”
Chapter 12 Slytherin (Old Edition)
After hearing Dumbledore’s call, Murphy limped over.
There’s no way. I pinched it too hard just now, and now I feel a burning pain.
“What were you thinking about just now?” Dumbledore looked at Murphy with an innocent face and couldn’t help but asked with a frown.
“No, I didn’t, he slandered me!”
“It’s just a thinking hat and it won’t lie. And it just told me what it saw!” Dumbledore felt a headache.
“Can you tell me why you have such a hatred for a hat?”
“They always say hats eat people, so I can’t help but think that hats will eat me,” Murphy said a little shyly.
“Then, what about the remaining one, the Dementor? How do you explain this?” Dumbledore asked.
“There are so many ghosts in the audience, and I can’t help but think of what I saw in Azkaban.” Murphy pointed to the ghosts of various colleges floating in the air.
“What? Are you really from Azkaban?” A short professor not far away also heard Murphy’s words and looked at him in surprise.
“Yes, Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall brought me here just a month ago.” Murphy told the truth.
[Emotion value (shock) +50 from Filius Flitwick! ][Emotion value (shock) +10 from Severus Snape! ][Emotion value (shock) +50 from Quirinus Quirrell! ][Emotion value (shock) +50 from Pomona Sprout! ][Emotional value (shock) +105 from Tom Marvolo Riddle! ]…….
Another series of emotional values ​​passing by!
“Murphy, I remember you promised the Ministry of Magic that you would not leak this matter out.” Dumbledore said helplessly.
“Yeah, but the professor asked me, and I can’t lie to the professor,” Murphy said innocently.
“Albus, the students are still waiting.” Professor McGonagall urged, then turned and glared at Murphy again, and then said to the Sorting Hat.
“Sorting Hat, can you test Murphy’s traits again? He will definitely cooperate seriously!”
“No! Absolutely not! I have suffered great trauma and it will take a year to recover! I will not appear on the head of any new students this year!” Dumbledore interrupted the Sorting Hat before it could finish its words.
“Wait a minute, Sorting Hat, based on what you just saw, can you determine which house Murphy is suitable for? If not, can we let him go to Gryffindor first?”
“Slytherin!” The Sorting Hat didn’t pay attention to what Dumbledore said next. It just opened its mouth and shouted the name of the Serpentine House at the loudest voice. After that, it returned to silence.
Unlike the cheers of others when they joined the house, when Murphy came to the Slytherin table, the entire hall, whether Slytherin or other houses, was silent, but everyone’s eyes were on Murphy.
The strange atmosphere was not broken until Dumbledore stood up.
“Although there was a small incident, the Sorting Ceremony was successfully completed. Although I still have some things to say, I think everyone is hungry now, so let’s enjoy the dinner first. Idiot! Crybaby! Scum! Twist! Thank you everyone!”
As Dumbledore finished his words, a large amount of delicious food suddenly appeared on the long tables of each college.
Children are always children. In front of food, they soon forgot what had just happened. Except for a few senior students from Slytherin, no one else looked at Murphy. They were all focused on the food.
As for Murphy, because he was in a good mood, his appetite was also whetted. He pulled the roast chicken not far away, put it on the plate in front of him, and began to devour it.
“Hey, are you really from Azkaban?” A pale boy with light golden hair came up to Murphy and asked curiously.
“I lived there for a few days, what’s wrong? And my name is not Hello, I have a name.” Seeing Malfoy coming over, Murphy was also confused. After all, in the original book, Malfoy was a racist and he showed hostility to all non-pure-blood wizards.
“I know. Your name is Murphy Ecclestone Dis. You are from the Francedis family, right? You speak English well.” Malfoy said arrogantly.
“When did I say I was French?” Murphy was even more puzzled at this time. He asked curiously, “What is the basis for your guess?”
“You are not French? I only know that there is a Dis family in France, but there is no Dis family in Britain. Aren’t you from a wizard family?” At this time, Malfoy had forgotten the purpose of his coming here, or for him, no matter what the purpose was, it was more important than finding out his origin.
“Who knows? I’ve been in an orphanage as far as I can remember.” Murphy said indifferently.
“Orphanage!” Malfoy looked up in shock, and without any concealment, he threw the steak he had just taken from Murphy onto the table.
“Slytherin doesn’t welcome people of unknown origin!”
After saying that, he moved away from Murphy and approached a few little wizards, whispering something.
“What did you say? He is not of a wizarding family?” A Slytherin freshman shouted in surprise.
“This is impossible, Slytherin doesn’t need a wizard without blood!” Another Slytherin freshman was also extremely angry, as if Murphy’s appearance here was the biggest insult to Slytherin.
“So, we must drive him away!” Malfoy said firmly.
“Draco, he’s from Azkaban, maybe he knows dark magic.” A short and fat boy said with some fear, “My father once said that Azkaban is the most dangerous place in the world.”
“It doesn’t matter. I just asked. He just lived there for a few days. It’s impossible for him to learn any dark magic. And even if he knows dark magic, it doesn’t matter. I can find my father and ask him to drive that guy away!” Malfoy said arrogantly.
“I can also look for my mother. She also knows some important people!” said a freshman named Blaise Zabini.
“My uncle is in the Ministry of Magic, he should have a way.” A girl who looked like a poodle was not to be outdone.
Then other freshmen joined in, showing off who their relatives were. With the sophomores joining in, a unique competition began.
Murphy, who was not far away, also heard the increasingly loud noises. What a bunch of little kids!
Murphy shook his head in disdain. He was born in the Wu Orphanage, where Voldemort was born. Was he proud of that?
Chapter 13 I want a single room (old version)
“Ding!” A crisp sound resounded throughout the Hogwarts Great Hall.
“It looks like everyone has finished eating. Now let me say a few words.” As Dumbledore stood up, all the leftovers disappeared.
“First of all, I want to explain to everyone that the last person sorted, Murphy Ecclestone Dees, has only been in Azkaban for a few days, and this was also an accident. I hope that everyone will not read too much into it, and especially not disturb him with this boring question.”
As Dumbledore spoke, he nodded to Murphy, as if to say, look, I’m really nice and explained it all to you.
“The following are some commonplace questions. No student of any grade is allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest. Filch asked me to tell everyone not to cast spells in the corridor. Quidditch…”
After chattering on for a few questions, Dumbledore suddenly looked serious and spoke seriously.
“Everyone, I mean everyone, if you don’t want to encounter misfortune, then don’t go to the right corridor on the fourth floor!”
After the reception, Dumbledore’s expression softened a little.
“Now let’s move on to the last item of the dinner, singing the school song! Everyone can sing to their own tune!”
As he spoke, Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it. In an instant, a colorful ribbon shot out from the tip of the wand and formed lines of intertwined lyrics!
“Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts… until it turns to dust!”
Although the song is hard to describe, Murphy couldn’t help but show envy when he saw Dumbledore holding the hand. If he could do this, how much emotional value could he gain!
After the school song ended, the prefects of each college began to organize the students of their college to go to the college dormitory.
“Slytherins, stand in two rows here!” shouted a dark-skinned senior boy standing at the dining table.
Murphy stood up quietly, bent his waist, and was about to sneak back to the room where he lived, when he suddenly felt a pair of burning eyes staring at him.
He looked over as he felt, and saw Dumbledore looking at him with a smile.
Murphy immediately straightened up and was about to whistle to ease the embarrassment, but Dumbledore’s voice came over.
“Murphy, come here for a moment.”
“Professor Dumbledore, is there anything I can help you with? I still have to go to the dormitory with my classmates!” Murphy walked over reluctantly and spoke before Dumbledore could speak.
“Are you really going to the dormitory?” Dumbledore obviously didn’t believe Murphy’s nonsense.
“I told you at the time that you could only live there for a month. Now that Hogwarts has started, all students must live in the dormitory, and you agreed to this. At your age, you need to communicate more with your peers. This will be good for you.”
“Then can you give me a single room?” Murphy asked as a compromise.
“I’m sorry. Although I am the headmaster of Hogwarts, each college has its own dean. You shouldn’t ask me about this request. Go ask Professor Snape. He is your dean.” As Dumbledore spoke, he called over Severus Snape, the head of Slytherin, who was not far away.
“Okay, your dean is here, you can talk to him.”
Looking at Dean Snape in black, Murphy sighed silently in his heart. Snape is not a man who is easy to talk to.
“You want a single room?” After listening to Dumbledore’s narration, Snape looked at Murphy with a cold face.
“Of course no problem, come on, let’s go to the lounge now.”
Hearing that Snape agreed so easily, Murphy was happy at first, but after seeing Snape’s face still expressionless, he always felt that things were not that simple.
Under Snape’s leadership, Murphy quickly arrived at the Slytherin dormitory. At this time, all the Slytherin students gathered in the common room and did not disperse.
“We have won the House Cup six times in a row, and this year is a crucial year. Seven times represents perfection, and it also represents that Slytherin’s rule over Hogwarts has reached its peak. Therefore, we must win it this year! This is the goal of all of us Slytherins. If anyone violates this goal, both you and your family will be severely punished!” A senior boy with an aristocratic demeanor stood at the front and said, and when he saw Snape come in, he first saluted respectfully to Snape, and then continued.
“Anyone who wants to join the Slytherin Quidditch team in the second year or above should report the names to Flint this weekend. After Flint has been assessed, he will submit the names. I believe Flint will have no problem with the Hogwarts Cup this year.”
“Of course there is no problem, Senior Foley, today’s champion must still be Slytherin!” A tall boy with short hair and buck teeth replied quickly.
“That’s good. This is a crucial link and we must not be careless.” Fuli nodded with satisfaction, then turned to a girl and said.
“Jennifer, have you found someone to count the first-year scores?”
“I’ve found one. It’s Daphne Greengrass.”
“From the Greengrass family? Sure.” Foley nodded, then spoke respectfully to Snape.
“Dean, do you have anything else to add?”
“I don’t care about the process, I only care about the result. You can handle it yourself during the process.” Snape said with a cold face, “By the way, are there any vacant boys’ dormitories in the first year now?”
“There are five male freshmen this year. One is in a double room and one is in a triple room. There are no extra dormitories, but there is an empty room in the sophomore area.” Foley said without thinking.
“Now there is a new student who wants to live in a single room. What do you think we should do?” Snape looked at Murphy and said.
“According to our Slytherin rules, strength is respected. As long as he can get the second-year boys to agree, of course it’s okay.” Foley was stunned for a moment, but still spoke quickly.
“Murphy Ekrizi Dees, you heard what Freely said just now. Go and get what you want. Freely is now in your hands. Get it done before lights out!” After Snape finished speaking, he left.
Chapter 14 Duel (Old Version)
Murphy looked at the scene in front of him in confusion. He never knew that this damn Slytherin would be like this.
Although he knew that Slytherin and Gryffindor were definitely different, he never expected that the difference was so huge!
This is totally different from Gryffindor’s style!
Compared with the free-spirited Gryffindor, Slytherin is like a strictly disciplined army!
“Murphy Ecclestone Diss, right? I just said it, Slytherin respects the strong. If you want a single room, you must duel with several second-year students. After you win, that single room is yours. If you fail, you should just live where you should go. Now tell me your choice!” Although Foley’s words were sharp, he did not look down on Murphy’s background.
“Let them go!” What a joke! Second-grade students, second-grade students who haven’t started classes yet, are not afraid at all, Murphy said directly.
“Very good.” Furley nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the Slytherin students and said, “Make room, second-year students, choose a representative. This is just a competition within the house, and you don’t need all of you to come up.”
As Foley finished his words, the Slytherins soon formed a circle, with a second-year student standing inside the circle.
He glanced at Murphy with disdain. “A fellow who came from nowhere, maybe even a mudblood, actually wants to live in a single room. He really doesn’t know how to live or die!”
“Very good, let’s start now…” Foley didn’t say much. When he saw Murphy coming over and was about to arrange a duel between the two of them, he was interrupted by Murphy.
“No need to go to such trouble. Let’s start quickly. I’m sleepy.” Murphy yawned as he spoke, looking like he really wanted a beating.
“Since you want to die so badly, I won’t be polite! Remember, the one who hit you is from the Selwyn family.” The boy opposite was indeed irritated by Murphy, and he shouted while waving his wand.
“Shattered into pieces!”
A red light quickly shot towards Murphy.
The second-year students could be said to be students who had just graduated from the first year. Their magic power and spellcasting skills were very immature. Murphy almost just shook his body to avoid the light.
“Break into pieces!” “Flames!” Two more magic spells flew over.
Murphy continued his verbal provocations while swaying from side to side.
“Is this your level?”
“Tell me, did you give the Sorting Hat money? I really don’t believe that Slytherin is at this level!”
“Could it be? Could it be that you are actually a Gryffindor?”
Murphy provoked while secretly launching the [Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse].
[Choose one of the opponent’s emotions to trigger. The emotion that has been detected to be suitable for triggering is anger. The current opponent’s anger value is 65. The host’s level is the first level of the shock level. The opponent’s anger value can be increased by 10 points. According to the opponent’s emotional control ability, it can be increased by 8 points. Do you want to increase it? ]Improved, of course it has been improved. Didn’t I just lay all these preparations just to test this ability?
Rage value increased [65→73]After the improvement, Murphy looked at his opponent again, and saw that Selwyn’s face had turned red and purple at this moment, and he was still gasping for breath.
“Are you okay?” Looking at Selwyn’s appearance, Murphy finally couldn’t bear it anymore and asked kindly.
“To pieces…” Selwyn was about to cast a spell, but when he heard Murphy’s words, he ran out of breath and fell to the ground with a bang.
“Damn, you are trying to scam me, I didn’t touch you!” Looking at Selwyn who had completely fainted, Murphy was a little confused at this moment. He wouldn’t be angry to death, would he?
“Hey, Fulley, yes, Senior Fulley, you saw it, I didn’t even cast a single spell and he fell!”
“I understand, Flint, find two people to carry him to the school hospital!” Fry gave the order first, then looked at Murphy deeply. Indeed, judging from the duel just now, Murphy did not take any action.
But who can tell for sure in the world of magic? If they say they didn’t do anything, does that mean they really didn’t do anything?
Just now, Selwyn’s emotions obviously reached an extreme limit in an instant. Although it was Murphy who provoked him, ordinary words could never have caused such an effect. He had a special secret method!
Foley guessed without a doubt that after all, he was a tough guy who had stayed in Azkaban for a few days, so he should just observe and see.
“Okay, even though the duel just now was a bit dramatic, it is true that Junior Diss won, so he can live in the single room!”
After speaking, Foley dismissed everyone. After seeing Flint and his men carrying Selwyn away, he spoke gently to Murphy.
“Come on, Junior Dis, I’ll take you to your room.”
“You’re so polite, senior. You can just call me Murphy. By the way, is Selwyn okay?” Murphy said with concern.
“He’s fine, Murphy, and don’t call me senior. My name is Hall, Holfree, you can just call me Hall!”
As they talked, they came to an empty dormitory. The environment of this dormitory was similar to where Murphy lived a month ago, except that the space was a little smaller.
Murphy nodded in satisfaction, then waved his arms as he spoke.
“The room is nice, but it must have been unoccupied for a long time, so it’s still a bit dusty. The water is as clear as a spring!”
In an instant, a stream of clean water gushed out from the tip of the magic wand in Murphy’s hand, cleaning the already clean room again!
Hall was shocked when his wand appeared. He stared at Murphy’s hand. He had been watching it just now, but he didn’t know when the wand appeared!
“It’s much cleaner now, don’t you think, Senior Hall?” Murphy said as he put the wand back into the bracelet.
Hall frowned at first, then laughed heartily.
“Indeed, it’s much cleaner now. Well, it’s getting late, so I won’t disturb your rest.” Hall said as he walked out the door. When he stepped through the door, he turned and said to Murphy.
“By the way, Junior Murphy, my room is bigger and more comfortable. Do you want to switch with me?”
“No need, senior. I don’t have high requirements. Just a place to stay is enough. As for higher requirements, I don’t have any needs in that regard. As long as someone doesn’t even want to give me this room, I think I can live here until graduation.” Murphy said.
“Since you don’t want to change, forget it.” Hearing Murphy’s words, Hall nodded, and then solemnly assured Murphy, “Junior, as long as I am still here, those senior students will not bother you. As for these junior students, I think you should be able to handle it yourself.”
“You don’t have to worry about those, senior.” Murphy said with a smile.
Obviously, both of them are smart people, and many things don’t need to be made too clear.
Chapter 15 Upgrade (Old Version)
Alas, I finally left. It was really too long-winded.
After Murphy closed the door of the room, he threw himself directly onto the bed. No matter who the person was, they were just like a shooting star to him.
Everything is fleeting, and the only thing that is eternal and unchanging is yourself, the god of emotions who is about to control Hogwarts, no, not just Hogwarts, but the entire magical world!
Thinking of this, Murphy couldn’t help but laugh like a pig.
No, I’m too excited. Although my opponent today is only a sophomore student, my [Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse] is only at the most basic level. If it were upgraded to the advanced level, wouldn’t it be enough to make people feel like they’re in ecstasy or dying just by looking at me?…
Thinking of this, Murphy rolled over on the bed excitedly.
Wait, let me ask the system about something first, Murphy forced himself to suppress his restless heart.
“System, how is the anger value divided?”
[Not just anger, all emotions, in the system design, float between 0-115. ][The value 0-50 is a controllable change in one’s own emotions and will not produce any adverse effects. ][Values ​​of 50-60 indicate the positive effects of emotions, which can stimulate potential, have no effect on the body, and the mind is also controllable. ][Value 60-70. Although it will stimulate potential if it exceeds 60, it will have a greater impact on sanity. The higher the value, the greater the risk of losing control. ][When the value is 70-80, the potential for stimulation begins to decline, the sanity is completely out of control, and there is a risk of coma. The higher the value, the higher the possibility of coma. This is also a manifestation of the self-protection mechanism. ][Value 80-90, this stage is breaking through the protection mechanism, the potential is fully unleashed, it will cause irreversible damage to the soul, and the damage to the soul will also be reflected in the body, the higher the value, the greater the damage. ][The value is 90-115. If the value exceeds 90, there is a risk of sudden death. The higher the value, the higher the mortality rate. Ordinary wizards will die when the value reaches 90. The limit of excellent wizards is 95, and the limit of great wizards is 100. The great wizards who have practiced the brain block technique to the extreme can reach 115. ][The above values ​​are all for wizards. Do we need to calculate the tolerance range for Muggles? ]“No need. Although there are many Muggles who are good at controlling their emotions, they lack the protection of magic, so there is no need to calculate.” Murphy had finally finished reading the wizard’s introduction and he was in no mood to read the Muggles’.
Murphy, lying on the bed, shook his neck, shook his hands, and then started the most important thing of the day.
That is to look at what you have gained. You have to know that all these things are done for the sake of emotional value!
[Emotional value (shock) +35 from Holferly! ]Looking at the latest account record, Murphy curled his lips in disdain. He originally thought it was a small boss, but he didn’t expect it to be a little Kalemi with such a low emotional value.
However, after he quickly browsed through most of the records, he had to say sorry to Hall. He was the only student who could generate an emotion value of 35!
After browsing the entire thing, Murphy roughly divided it into a range. The emotional value that students in the lower grades who were not strong enough and had low fame and status could generate would not exceed ten points.
The stronger students in the senior grades are usually below 20 points, and the top students are around 25.
This also shows that Holferley is unusual.
As for Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as members of the protagonist group, they are only one level lower than Dumbledore.
As for Harry Potter, although he has no strength at all, the emotional value he provides is already on the same level as Dumbledore.
In addition, there are several characters who have more roles in the original book, such as Neville Longbottom, Draco Malfoy and the twin brothers, who can almost be compared with the dean’s level.
“Oh my god, who is this? So awesome! There are more than a hundred!” Murphy sat up suddenly in shock.
This was the first and only time he saw an emotion value record exceeding one hundred.
Tom Marvolo Riddle, isn’t this Voldemort?
And it is impossible for Voldemort to appear alone, so he and his mount, Professor Quirrell, the two together are the treasure boy, this is the treasure boy!
It seems that I need to plan carefully, but let’s not worry about this for now, let’s first see how to spend the emotion points!
[Current emotional points: 10862]It’s already over ten thousand, not bad, not bad, let’s upgrade first and see how many emotion points are needed for the upgrade.
Murphy clicked the upgrade button without hesitation.
[Current emotion points: 9862][Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse, Shocking Stage, Lv2 (Upgradable)]Seeing that it took a thousand points to level up, Murphy suddenly felt a little painful, because these were the emotional points he had worked so hard to earn!
Forget it, forget it. The lambs are still here. At worst, I can just keep pulling them.
Besides, the students don’t suffer any loss, right?
As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind, Murphy fiercely attacked the upgrade button.
While Murphy was still clicking blindly with his eyes closed, a series of prompts kept flying up. He knew that these were prompts for deducting emotional points, so he ignored them at all.
Murphy didn’t look over until it couldn’t click anymore.
Good, it has been upgraded to the second stage, the Terror Stage. Now there is more room for maneuver!
Now let’s take a chance.
When Murphy saw the draw button had dimmed, he realized the seriousness of the problem! He quickly looked at the current emotion value, a lonely 0 hanging there, and immediately roared angrily!
“You dog system, come out here! How dare you steal my experience points? You are so bold! Do you think I can’t figure it out? I can tell you that I used to be the little prince of mathematics!”
[Host, please check the prompts. There is absolutely no corruption in the system! ]Murphy looked doubtfully at the prompt bar that he had just ignored.
[Current emotion points: 8862][Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse, Shocking Stage, Lv3 (Upgradable)]…..
[Current emotion points: 1862][Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse, Shocking Level, Lv10 (Whether to upgrade, success rate of upgrading is 50%)][Consuming 1862 emotion points, upgrading. 】
[Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading! ][Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse, Horror Level, lv1 (cannot be upgraded)]“Why did the upgrade cost 1862, and there are even integers and decimals? Do you think you can fool me? I am…”
[Upgrading the level will deduct all the emotional values ​​carried by the host. Also, please do not mention the Little Prince of Mathematics anymore if you have failed the math exam in the college entrance examination! ]Looking at the last prompt from the system, Murphy knew that his emotional value was thrown away and could never be recovered!
Chapter 16: Conversation at Black Lake (Old Version)
Early the next morning, Murphy woke up from his sleep. There was no other way. This was the only disadvantage of living alone.
And given Murphy’s current popularity in Slytherin, he didn’t believe that anyone would come to call him to class.
So when Murphy woke up, he directly changed his emotional robe into a student robe, washed his face with a cleansing spell, and left the dormitory.
As for why he knew the Cleansing Spell, the reason was very simple. He had lived alone in Hogwarts for a month, and apart from occasionally visiting Hagrid to play with him and see his ‘little cutie’ Fluffy (a three-headed dog that stood almost four meters tall), he put all his energy into the first-year textbook “Standard Spells, Elementary”.
I don’t know if it’s because Murphy’s soul is stronger after traveling through time, or if his original self was a genius, or if Hagrid taught him well (the other professors are not in Hogwarts, so Murphy will ask Hagrid for help if he doesn’t understand something)?
Anyway, now he can cast all the standard spells well.
In addition to these, he certainly did not miss the huge bonus that the emotion wand brings to black magic.
The most easily acquired black magic is the Hierophant spell invented by Snape.
According to his memory, Murphy easily found the book “Advanced Potion-Making” that Snape had placed in the potions classroom.
Then he learned the Sharpness Spell from it. Of course, Murphy also copied down other potion-related content. After all, it was Snape’s hard work.
In order to ensure that the plot was not affected, Murphy put the book back after copying it.
Because it was still early and there was no breakfast in the auditorium, Murphy walked out of the gate and came to the Black Lake.
In fact, this is a habit he has developed in the past month. He comes here in the morning to breathe some fresh air and wake up his spirit.
“You really come here at this time.” Suddenly an old voice sounded from behind Murphy.
“You’re scaring people to death. Professor Dumbledore, could you please stop appearing suddenly?” Hearing the voice, Murphy didn’t turn around and said directly in a bad mood.
“How is that possible? There’s nothing wrong with scaring others, but it’s definitely not good if you get too angry. What do you think?”
What was supposed to come finally came. Murphy became secretly alert in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
“No, you know, the little wizard who duelled with you last night.” Dumbledore came to Murphy and looked at him.
“Oh, so you are talking about him.” Murphy first pretended to be suddenly realized, and then immediately said nervously.
“It has nothing to do with me. I didn’t use any spells at the time. I didn’t even touch him. He just fainted.”
“Then why don’t you use spells? Hagrid told me that although it’s only been a short month, you have mastered all the spells for a first year. Why don’t you use spells to fight back?” Dumbledore asked.
“I was nervous. That’s right. I’ve never fought with anyone before, so I don’t know what magic to use. Besides, we are all classmates. Using spells would only hurt the harmony.” Murphy sighed and said to Dumbledore.
“Professor, do you think I should go see him?”
“Ahem!” Dumbledore couldn’t stop coughing after hearing Murphy’s words. He quickly dissuaded him, “Don’t do it. Madam Pomfrey has already cured him, but he still needs to rest for a while. You will only irritate him now.”
“Alas, I never thought things would develop to this point. However, Professor, I think Hogwarts really needs to provide some psychological counseling for its students.”
After hearing Murphy’s words, Dumbledore actually felt that this suggestion seemed to be a good one.
While Dumbledore was still thinking, Murphy quietly left.
At the same time, Professor Snape, dressed in a black robe, appeared beside Dumbledore.
“Severus, what do you think of his suggestion just now?” Dumbledore asked.
“No psychological counseling can explain Selwyn’s extreme mood changes. He must have used some secret method!” Snape said as he handed a piece of parchment to Dumbledore.
“It’s just as I thought.” Dumbledore quickly glanced through it and said excitedly, “Love, only love is the greatest magic.”
“You see, it was because of this great nun that Murphy was able to release the repression in his heart, so he was able to control himself and not explode at first. But when the nun died, all the sustenance and love in his heart disappeared, and then he exploded silently.”
“But this doesn’t explain why he still has magic, and it certainly doesn’t explain why the Dementors took him to Azkaban instead of just giving him a kiss!” Snape shook his head and did not accept Dumbledore’s explanation.
“I have no way to explain these things to you. After all, magic is magical, and no one can exhaust the mysteries of magic.” Dumbledore smiled and shook his head.
Snape frowned after listening to this. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak out what was in his mind.
“Being able to learn so many spells without anyone teaching him can definitely be said to be a natural talent. Plus, he is from the Wu Orphanage. Don’t you think he is very familiar with them?”
“I know your concerns. Yes, from what we see now, his experience is indeed very similar to Tom’s. But I have said that love is the greatest magic. Tom didn’t have a nun to love him back then.” Dumbledore said calmly.
“Well now that the nun is dead, isn’t it the same?”
“No, of course it’s different. If the nun can enter his heart, then so can others. So Severus, we need to find more ties for him in Hogwarts and give him more love!” Dumbledore said as he shook the parchment in his hand.
The entire piece of parchment spontaneously combusted without any fire, and soon only a pile of ashes was left, which floated away in the wind.
“Okay, let’s stop talking about him. How’s your investigation going, Quirrell?” Dumbledore put away his quick smile and said seriously.
“I have almost finished the investigation. All his changes happened after he came out of the forest in Albania last month. He said that he encountered a vampire and was then attacked by a dark wizard.”
“The forest of Albania…” Dumbledore thought silently for a while, then turned and walked towards the castle. “I see. It seems that our old friend is about to take action. You should continue to pay attention to him.”
Chapter 17: Troubles with Transfiguration (Old Edition)
Soon, all the courses started one after another. Among them, Murphy was most interested in Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration class.
Transforming two completely different things, or even changing the main properties of matter, is just like what Professor McGonagall is doing now.
“Transfiguration is the most profound and dangerous magic. Any slight negligence can cause irreparable damage. Whether it is to others or to yourselves.”
Professor McGonagall said as she transformed the podium beside her into a pig. Only after seeing all the students exclaimed did she change it back with satisfaction.
“Before learning Transfiguration, there is a rule that you need to remember firmly. Does anyone know it? Miss Granger, please answer it.” Professor McGonagall looked at Hermione Granger, who was about to raise her hands to the sky, with satisfaction. It had been a long time since a Gryffindor was so active.
“Gamp’s Basic Transfiguration Law!” Hermione stood up swiftly and answered loudly.
“Very good, that’s Gamp’s basic law of transfiguration. Two extra points for Gryffindor.” Professor McGonagall nodded in satisfaction and continued her explanation.
“This law stipulates the scope of use of Transfiguration. Now you can copy down the contents on the blackboard and remember them firmly in your mind. This will be the iron rule for you to learn Transfiguration in the future.” Professor McGonagall said as she waved her wand at the blackboard behind her.
Immediately, lines of text appeared on the blackboard.
[First, the food transformation rule, food transformed by transformation is absolutely not to be eaten! ][Second, the transformation between dead and living things is not permanent. The duration of the transformation is determined by the magic power of the caster! ][Third, Transfiguration cannot create magical substances. Any magic item is an alchemical product, not created through Transfiguration! ][Fourth, Transfiguration cannot change the number of transformations. A table can only be transformed into one pig, but it can never be transformed into two mice. Quality and quantity have nothing to do with each other! ][Fifth, Transfiguration cannot be performed out of thin air; it must have an existing object!]“Okay, now that you’ve copied it down, everyone come to me and get a match. This will be what you’ll need for today’s Transfiguration class.”
Seeing that everyone had finished copying, Professor McGonagall gave each person a match and asked them to turn the match into a silver needle.
“Remember, you must completely construct a silver needle in your brain.” Professor McGonagall walked down from the podium and explained the key points while watching each little wizard’s operation.
After getting the match, Murphy immediately began to construct the shape of the silver needle in his mind with great interest. Soon a sharp silver needle formed in his mind. According to the key points of the spell, he carefully controlled the magic power to flow towards the match.
It didn’t take too long for the match in his hand to turn into the shape of a silver needle.
“Very good!” Professor McGonagall’s voice also sounded at the right time, “Two points for Slytherin.”
Professor McGonagall looked at Murphy in surprise. After all, it had not been five minutes since the matches were distributed, and she didn’t expect that someone could actually do it.
The other students all looked over, especially Hermione Granger. She had thought she would be the first one, but she never expected that someone could be so fast.
Professor McGonagall took the silver needle from Murphy’s hand and immediately frowned.
“Mr. Dees, although your Transfiguration is very fast, it only changes the appearance of the matchstick, while Transfiguration requires changing the characteristics. Your silver needle only has the appearance of a silver needle, but its essence is still wood. You still need to give it the texture and function that a silver needle should have. But this is already very good, and the extra points are still valid!”
Murphy was not disappointed after hearing what Professor McGonagall said. In fact, he had secretly tried it during the summer vacation. He could quickly change the appearance of anything, but he had never succeeded in changing the texture.
You know, wood is wood and silver is silver. They are two completely different substances. How can you make them transform into each other?
“Professor, I can’t understand how wood can turn into silver? Their textures are completely different, and the basic structures that make them up are also completely different. Their chemistry…” Murphy originally wanted to say that their chemical structures are very different, but considering that Professor McGonagall probably didn’t know any chemical equations, he changed his statement.
“So do I have to change them from the tiniest particle? Isn’t that too cumbersome?”
The other students might not have understood what Murphy said, but Hermione Granger did.
“Mr. Dees, you should learn some Muggle knowledge, but you have to understand that this is a magical world and magic can create infinite possibilities.” Although Professor McGonagall is a senior professor of Transfiguration, she has never been exposed to Muggle knowledge, so she can only use wizard theories to explain to Murphy.
“You need to firmly believe that you can do it. Magic is magical. It can give you hope when you are in despair.”
Watching Professor McGonagall leave, Murphy began to think.
Magic is magical. It can turn any impossible into possible, but how can wood turn into silver?
The memories of his past life made Murphy more active in thinking, which was a good thing, but it also had a bad side, which was that it was difficult for him to completely believe in something like a child.
The spell is easy to explain, after all, there are various elements in the air, and letting them gather together, the quantitative change will lead to qualitative change. This is understandable, but Transfiguration is too difficult to fully understand!
Soon the bell for the end of get out of class rang, and Professor McGonagall assigned the students to continue the practical exercise of turning matches into silver needles, and then left.
Murphy was about to pack up and leave, but he suddenly thought of something. Didn’t Hermione complete the Transfiguration in the first class in the original book? Why didn’t she do it this time?
Thinking of this, Murphy didn’t care about other people’s eyes. He took the initiative to come to Hermione and asked Hermione curiously.
“Ms. Granger, why didn’t you complete the Transfiguration?”
“Yes, I just didn’t finish it!” Hermione glared at Murphy and left.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Hermione. She had some ideas at first, but she always thought of Murphy’s words at the critical moment. How could two substances change into each other?
As a top student who has been familiar with “100,000 Whys” since childhood, although she does not have the experience of a previous life like Murphy, she also understands the essence of things.
Professor McGonagall’s praise naturally made her pay attention to Murphy and what he said.
Originally, her thinking should have changed quickly to become that of a wizard, but now with Murphy’s interference, her transformation has not yet been completed.
Chapter 18: Teachings from Voldemort (Old Edition)
In the following time, Murphy was always troubled by this problem.
Damn, what’s that smell?
Suddenly Murphy was awakened by a strange smell. When he looked carefully, he found that he was taking a Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
The owner of this smell was Professor Quirrell, who was stammering as he described how he helped a prince get rid of a zombie in Romania.
“Professor, what magic did you use to defeat that resurrected zombie?” asked a young Gryffindor wizard.
“Magic, yes, I did use magic, that kind of very powerful magic that made it dare not bother the prince anymore.” Professor Quirrell stammered.
Looking at Quirrell in front of him, Murphy couldn’t help but feel a lot of emotions. How could a good wizard, who was said to be a top student in Ravenclaw, become like this? He was actually willing to become Voldemort’s mount. No one knew what he was thinking.
Thinking of this, Murphy was suddenly stunned. He suddenly seemed to have thought of something, but he always felt that there was still a little bit missing, just a little bit.
While Murphy was racking his brains, Professor Quirrell had overcome all difficulties and started reading from the textbook, while the young wizards in the audience kept commenting on him.
“Enough!” Suddenly, a powerful aura burst out from Quirrell, and the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom fell silent in an instant.
Even Murphy, who had been thinking, looked towards the podium in surprise. Why did Quirrell explode out of nowhere?
But when he saw Quirrell’s slightly frightened expression, Murphy immediately realized something. He quickly turned around and looked around in the classroom. Sure enough, in a corner of the classroom, he saw Harry Potter covering his head.
Oh no, it seems even Voldemort can’t stand these students anymore.
Murphy looked at Professor Quirrell with interest, but what he never expected was that Quirrell was looking at him with surprise on his face.
[Emotion value (shock) +20 from Quirinus Quirrell! ]What the hell, why did I receive a surprise value from Qi Luo at this time? Could it be?
Murphy immediately felt sweat on his back. He didn’t seem to have done anything, so why did he attract the attention of that noseless guy!
Next, Quirrell returned to normal, and the classroom order was still acceptable throughout the class. Just when those ignorant little wizards were about to cause trouble again, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
Hearing the ringing, Murphy quickly packed up and prepared to leave when Chilo’s stuttering voice rang out.
“Dee, Mr. Dees, please stay for a moment.”
Although Murphy was extremely reluctant, he had no other choice at this time and could only sit in his seat obediently.
Fortunately, this is Hogwarts, and he doesn’t believe Voldemort dares to do anything here.
Soon all the students left the professor, and no Slytherin student cared why Quirrell let Murphy stay here.
Only Harry Potter looked at Murphy with a strange look, hesitated for a moment, and left.
It seems that I need to establish some connection with Harry Potter. After all, Harry Potter is the best target.
“Dis, you look like you’re confused about something.” Just as Murphy was thinking about how to establish contact with the protagonists, Quirrell had already come in front of him, his eyes dull, and spoke in a tone he had never used before.
“Among this year’s freshmen, I think you are the most talented wizard. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can tell me and I will teach you.”
It’s Voldemort! It has to be Voldemort!
At this moment, Murphy’s brain started working rapidly, and at the same time he felt a breeze blowing on his face. This familiar feeling could not be wrong, it was Legilimency!
Facing Voldemort, Murphy instinctively wanted to reject him, but suddenly an idea burst out of his mind, and immediately took root and grew stronger.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Apart from anything else, Voldemort is definitely a wizard with extraordinary talent. Since you are really in trouble, why not ask him?
“Professor, I do have a question. I don’t quite understand Transfiguration.”
“Transfiguration? Transfiguration is indeed a magic that is difficult for Muggle-born wizards to learn. Your inherent thinking prevents you from seeing a broader space.”
Professor Quirrell, or Voldemort, paused for a moment before continuing.
“I know, it’s hard for you to believe that an object can become something completely different. You can’t connect the two sides, right?”
“That’s right, professor. My brain has been reminding me that this kind of thing is contradictory to what I have always known, and I have no way to deny my previous knowledge.” Murphy said bluntly.
“In fact, you don’t need to deny your previous cognition. Magic is to add an extra possibility beyond your cognition. This possibility can make your cognition of things more complete.”
Voldemort’s words were like a bolt from the blue, which immediately made Murphy feel inexplicably clear, and the entire magical world became clearer.
If he was observing the world through a very thin film before, now this film has become transparent, and the whole world appears before his eyes.
Murphy no longer cared about Voldemort at this time. He took out the match directly from his schoolbag. Under the urging of his mind, the silver needle was formed in an instant. It was a real silver needle with the texture of silver.
Maybe other things should be able to do the trick too. Thinking of this, the matches in his hand turned into a dagger and a crystal bottle.
Clap, clap, there was a sound of applause. Professor Quirrell put his hands down stiffly and then spoke.
“You are indeed an outstanding student. I didn’t expect you to master it so quickly. The lower-level Transfiguration is no problem for you. I believe that ordinary spells should be no problem for you. In fact, I have some more powerful magic. Are you interested in learning it?”
“Ah, time is running out. I have to go to Professor Snape’s Potions class next period. I’m leaving first. Thank you, Professor Quirrell!” Murphy said and ran away in a panic.
“Master, why did you casually show up in front of a little wizard?” Professor Quirrell said fearfully after returning to his office, “If he told Dumbledore…”
Before he could finish his words, suddenly an extreme pain arose from the depths of Quirrell’s soul, causing him to collapse to the ground.
“It’s none of your business to tell me what to do. How come you think you can order the great Dark Lord?” A cold and sharp voice sounded from behind Professor Quirrell’s head.
“No, I dare not, master. I, I am just worried about you.” Quirrell begged for mercy quickly.
“I can’t die now, but if you fail to complete the task I assigned to you, I’m afraid your soul will disintegrate before mine does.”
“I, I understand, Master. I will definitely complete your task as soon as possible.”
After Quirrell finished speaking respectfully, seeing that his master was silent, he stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, picked up another textbook and left the office.
Chapter 19 Potions (Old Edition)
When Murphy hurried to the Potions classroom, the door was already tightly closed.
Yes, Murphy really didn’t make excuses just now, his next class was indeed Potions.
Murphy suddenly became nervous when he thought about being late for his dean’s first class.
He carefully pushed open the door of the classroom.
A low creaking sound suddenly sounded, and everyone in the classroom and Professor Snape all looked over, only to see a sneaky little wizard trying to sneak into the classroom.
“Isn’t this Mr. Dis? Do you think your dean is not qualified to teach you, or do you have things far more important than attending classes?” Although Professor Snape’s voice was no louder than a whisper, it was loud enough for anyone to hear clearly and shocked the entire audience.
“Of course not, Professor. It’s Professor Quirrell. It’s all his fault. I told him that I still had to take Potions class, but he insisted on keeping me here. Do you have any grudge against each other?” Murphy’s eyes rolled and he immediately pushed the blame away.
At the same time, Professor Quirrell, who was teaching third-year students, suddenly felt a chill. He tightened the scarf around his neck, and then continued to stammer as he told his adventures in the noisy classroom.
“It’d be better if what you said is true. I will verify it with Quirrell. Come in and sit down!” Professor Snape glanced at Murphy coldly, and then his expression changed immediately. He continued the previous topic with a tone that was nine parts sarcasm and one part mockery.
“It seems that you don’t have the wisdom to match your reputation. Since you don’t know the answer to the previous question, let’s change it to another one. If we need a piece of bezoar, where should we find it?”
“Professor, I don’t know.” Harry Potter answered stutteringly. He thought that Murphy’s sudden appearance could end his embarrassing moment, but he never expected that Snape had no intention of letting him go.
“I don’t know yet. Is my question too difficult? Let’s try again.” Snape was very satisfied with the situation. “What is the difference between Aconitum naviculatum and Aconitum wolfsbane?”
“I don’t know! I don’t know what aconite is, but Hermione obviously knows. Why don’t you ask her?” Harry was a little annoyed at this time, but as a freshman in fear of the professor, he still retorted weakly in a voice almost muttering to himself.
At this time, Hermione was about to stand up excitedly, but Snape didn’t even look at her.
Professor Snape snorted at Harry Potter, then turned and aimed at Murphy, who had just taken out the textbook.
“Dis, you come and tell our savior, Mr.
“Ah?” Murphy was stunned. No way, why did he turn to him for no reason?
“Why, haven’t you flipped through the book either?” Snape’s face instantly turned gloomy.
“I have seen it, of course I have. It’s Aconitum, right? There is no difference, they are all Aconitum.” Murphy replied quickly.
“Well, what about bezoar?”
“Of course, bezoar is found in the cow’s stomach. Isn’t that common sense?” Murphy said.
“Yes, this is simple common sense. What a pity that our savior doesn’t even have common sense.” Snape always managed to connect everything to Harry Potter.
After Murphy finished speaking, he regretted it. Why did he say so much? Isn’t this definitely attracting hatred?
Sure enough, when he secretly looked at Harry Potter, Harry Potter was looking at him with an uncomfortable expression.
“How do you prepare the Hell Potion?” Professor Snape asked again.
“Mix narcissus root powder with wormwood infusion, and then add the juice of sleepy beans…” Murphy said it without thinking. After all, he had just copied it down a few days ago, but when he answered “average”, he quickly shut up.
You have to know that these are not the contents that appear in the first-grade textbooks.
“The juice of sleepy beans?” Sure enough, after hearing Murphy’s answer, Snape immediately heard something he shouldn’t have heard. At this time, he was no longer interested in tinkering with Harry Potter, so he asked with a frown.
“How did you know to add some sleepy bean juice?”
“I saw an old copy of ‘Advanced Potion-Making’ in an empty classroom a few days ago, and it happened to have the recipe for the Living Hell Potion on it. It said to cut the sleepy beans into slices and add them in. I think adding the slices would not be as effective as adding the juice directly. Professor, is this method wrong?” Murphy replied with fake trepidation.
[Emotion value (shock) +50 from Severus Snape! ]“That’s not something you should be exposed to now. You will learn this in the sixth grade potion advanced class!” Snape looked at Murphy deeply, “Slytherin, add ten points because your answer is correct!”
[Emotional value (surprise) +100 from Hermione Granger! ][Emotional value (surprise) +40 from Harry Potter! ][Emotion value (shock) +10 from Draco Malfoy! ]Another series of emotional points were credited, making Murphy feel very happy.
As for why Hermione’s emotional level was so high, it was because only she understood how abnormal it was for a first-year student to know sixth-year content and have her own ideas.
The others simply couldn’t understand the conversation between Murphy and Snape. They were surprised that Snape actually gave Murphy so many points!
As for Harry Potter, he was the most uncomfortable at this moment. He was not uncomfortable because Murphy answered the question, but because Snape actually used the sixth grade questions to embarrass him!
He even suspected that these two people were teaming up to play him!
In fact, this was not Snape’s embarrassment to him at all. Snape’s question to him was “What can be obtained by mixing narcissus root powder with wormwood infusion?”
This is what was mentioned about the materials in the first-year potions textbook.
Snape was no longer in the mood to make things difficult for Harry Potter. He simply asked everyone to form groups of two and start making potions in the first class of the new semester.
This is really perverted. Shouldn’t the first class be about getting to know each other and then ending with a hello, hello, and everyone else atmosphere?
Murphy gathered his textbooks and went to get the potions he was going to use.
“Dis, use the crucible on the podium to refine it. Nott, you go and work with Malfoy and the others.” Snape immediately gave the order when he saw Murphy coming forward.
Forget it, why was Snape targeting him again? At this moment, Murphy extremely regretted the answer that had just entered his brain.
“If you don’t do it well, then come to my office and do it a few more times at night.”
Just when Murphy was about to fool him, Snape spoke sinisterly as if he had predicted the future.
After hearing what Snape said, Murphy gave up the idea of ​​fooling around and started to proceed step by step according to the procedures in the book.
First, weigh the dried nettles, then grind the venomous snake’s teeth, heat the crucible, pour in the dried nettles and tooth powder, stir three times clockwise, then add the steamed slugs and rotate five times counterclockwise.
The crucible was removed from the fire and the porcupine quills were added. Soon the dark green liquid gradually turned blue.
Snape watched Murphy complete everything calmly, keeping a straight face, smiling, and then keeping a straight face again in just one tenth of a second.
He looked at Murphy with pride, then bared his fangs and sprayed the Gryffindor students wantonly.
Chapter 20: Clues Appear (Old Version)
The Potions class ended with the ringing of the bell and Neville’s wailing.
“Dis, come to my office in the evening.” Snape raised his head high, ignored Murphy’s reluctant expression, and left the classroom directly.
Alas, I knew Snape wouldn’t let me go so easily! Murphy packed his things helplessly, and just when he turned around, he saw that Hermione had come behind him without knowing when.
Looking at the furry head, in order to avoid being called a pervert, Murphy suppressed the urge to pinch it and asked curiously.
“Mr. Granger, what’s the matter with you?”
“I won’t give up, let’s compete!” Hermione glared with round eyes, threw down a harsh word and was about to leave.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Granger, look at this.” Murphy said as he waved his hand, and a match appeared in his hand. In Hermione’s surprised eyes, the match turned into a silver needle.
Murphy took the silver needle and flicked it lightly towards the table, and the silver needle pierced into the table.
“How did you do that?” Hermione exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing the emotion value being credited, Murphy nodded with satisfaction and said to Hermione with a smile.
“Do you want to learn? I can teach you.”
Looking at Murphy’s smiling face, Hermione’s heart suddenly started pounding for some reason.
“No need, I can do it myself!” After saying that, she ran away without looking back.
Looking at Hermione’s embarrassed look, Murphy smiled smugly, then ignored the looks of the other Slytherins and left the classroom.
He didn’t know why, but he just wanted to show off in front of Hermione.
After leaving the classroom, Murphy looked at the time and found that there was still some time before dinner. After thinking for a while, he walked directly towards the library.
These days, whenever he has time, he would go to the library. Of course, not to study. He went to the library for only one reason, which was to check his own life experience.
Judging from Ollivander’s reaction that day, at least 80% of this body of his came from a wizarding family.
Although he had no intention of returning to his roots, he was still very curious about why he was taken to Azkaban by the Dementors!
The library is closed during the holidays, so I have to postpone it until school starts.
After arriving at the library, Murphy walked past the tutorial books on various subjects and the banned books area under the vigilant gaze of Madam Pince and came to the special books area.
There are various biographies, places of interest and other books here. Murphy had already browsed through almost all the books in this area in the past two days, but found nothing.
Now all that’s left is the backup of the Ministry of Magic files.
Murphy skipped over the completely impossible files and found some files about Azkaban.
There is no other way. Since we can’t find the person, we can only start looking for him locally.
After looking through a lot of useless files, Murphy suddenly saw a clue in an “Application for Abandoning Azkaban Prison”.
The report first listed the various inhumane acts of using Dementors in Azkaban, and then told the history of Azkaban.
“…..Azkaban was originally an isolated island in the North Sea. In the fifteenth century, a dark wizard named Ecclezis Dis built a fortress on this isolated island to torture the wizards he captured and the sailors passing by, and to use their souls to conduct evil black magic experiments.”
“There are countless magical lines carved on the walls of the fortress. Although their purpose is still unknown, there is reason to believe that they are related to the origin of Dementors…”
“…After an escaped wizard reported to the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic sent a large number of Aurors to the island. However, Ecclestone Dees had disappeared without a trace. Because of the dark magic in the fortress, it was never used. It was not until the 18th century that the wizard prisons on the British mainland were completely insufficient. It was at this time that the evil creatures such as Dementors were discovered here…”
The report ends here. I don’t know if it’s missing or the backup at Hogwarts is incomplete.
But these have given Murphy a huge shock.
You have to know that his original name was Murphy Ekrizi Dis. If you say that he has no relationship with the dark wizard Ekrizi Dis, even he himself probably wouldn’t believe it.
At this point, Murphy no longer knew how to continue his investigation. Although the investigation had made great progress, it seemed like a dead end. Perhaps there was something else there.
Thinking of this, Murphy couldn’t help but raise his head and look at the forbidden book area which was strictly guarded by Madam Pince.
It seems that I have to find a way to go there and have a look. If it is not available there, I can only go to the Ministry of Magic to check the relevant information.
While Murphy was still thinking about how to enter the restricted area, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley had already arrived at Hagrid’s hut. Harry was complaining to Hagrid that Professor Snape seemed to hate him very much.
“Really Hagrid, Snape absolutely hates me, and Ron can attest to that.”
“That’s absolutely impossible. Not to mention that he is a professor at Hogwarts and you are just a student. Just because you are Harry Potter, no normal wizard would hate you. They would be grateful to you.” Hagrid didn’t believe what Harry said at all, even though Ron was nodding his head desperately in agreement.
“What Professor Snape said, he doesn’t like any of his students.” Hagrid comforted.
“How could that be? I think he likes Murphy very much. By the way, Hagrid, what happened to the black cloth bag you gave to Murphy last time?” Harry asked suddenly as if he had thought of something.
“Of course it was given to Professor Dumbledore. Why did you suddenly think of this?” Hagrid asked curiously.
“You should know about the burglary at Gringotts. The safe that was robbed was the one you took me to, so their target is probably that black bag. What exactly is in that black bag?” Harry asked.
“I, I don’t know. Professor Dumbledore asked me to bring it. Well, it’s almost time now. You should go back to the castle quickly.” It seemed that Hagrid was not good at lying. His evasive eyes increased Harry’s curiosity.
With full of doubts and a bag of rock biscuits, Harry and Ron returned to the castle together.
Chapter 21: Snape’s Special Cooking (Old Edition)
After dinner, Murphy came to Snape’s office cursing. He first punched the air a few times to vent his resentment.
Then he knocked on the office door honestly.
“Come in, the door is not locked.” Snape’s voice came from inside.
“Professor, why did you call me here?” Murphy asked carefully as he walked into the office.
“Close the door. Do you see what’s on the table?” At this time, Snape was sitting at his desk, concentrating on writing something.
“See, professor. These are potion materials. Lots and lots of potion materials.” Looking at the potion materials randomly mixed together on the table, Murphy suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
“Separate them and put them in the cabinet. I’ll give you three nights. I’ll check on your completion on the fourth night.”
Murphy became angry when he heard Snape’s voice.
“Professor, have I done something wrong? Are you going to put me in detention?”
Snape suddenly raised his head, glanced at Murphy, and then continued to speak to Murphy in a flat tone.
“This isn’t a detention. If you really don’t want to do it, then leave!”
After saying this, he lowered his head again and continued writing something.
One minute, two minutes, and when five minutes passed, Murphy was still standing there. He didn’t know whether he should go out.
The tasks assigned by Snape are definitely of great benefit to him at this stage. By organizing them into the cabinet, his understanding of the materials will definitely be greatly improved.
But if I just obeyed obediently, it would be too embarrassing.
Shouldn’t I have refused Snape’s invitation, refused again, invited him again, and then ruthlessly refused Snape’s invitation with tears in pain?
“Don’t use any magic. Magic will have adverse effects on some sensitive materials. There are dragon leather gloves in the cabinet. Put on the gloves and you can start.” Snape’s calm voice sounded.
No, I haven’t agreed yet! Although Murphy complained silently in his heart, his hands were not vague at all. He walked directly to the medicine cabinet, opened the cabinet door, put on dragon leather gloves, looked at the label on the cabinet, and then began to rummage through the materials on the table.
“This is white mulberry, um, put it here…”
“This is castor oil, put it in this…”
“This, what is this, professor? Some of the materials in it are unfamiliar to me!” Murphy shouted with a frown.
Snape still had no intention of stopping. He just waved his hand and immediately a thick roll of parchment flew over.
After receiving the parchment, Murphy opened it and took a look. A familiar handwriting appeared in front of him. This handwriting was 70% similar to the one on the worn-out “Advanced Potion Making”, but this handwriting was more mature, while the other one was slightly childish.
With the help of this circle of parchment, Murphy did not rush to put the found materials into the medicine cabinet, but began to divide them into several categories on the table.
In this way, time passed minute by minute. While Murphy was still struggling on the table, Snape came quietly behind him and looked at the materials that had been roughly divided into three categories.
“Okay, that’s all for today. You can go home now.”
“Professor, I’m not sleepy. We can continue for a while.” Murphy became interested at this time.
“I’m going to bed!” After saying that, Snape went straight to the door, opened it and looked at Murphy.
“Why are you sleeping? I just started to feel good and this really spoils the fun.” Murphy muttered as he walked out.
Over the next two days, as soon as dinner was over every day, he came to Snape’s office with great interest and put all those strange materials into the medicine cabinet.
On the third night, when Murphy entered Snape’s office full of fighting spirit, he immediately found something different. There was an extra cabinet next to the medicine cabinet.
What is this for? Is there something else?
“Professor, why do you have an extra cabinet here?” Murphy asked curiously?
“There’s no rush. Clean up the table first.” At this time, Snape was standing next to a crucible and stirring it constantly.
Hearing Snape’s words, an ominous premonition emerged in Murphy’s heart.
Half an hour later, all the materials on the table had been sorted and placed in the medicine cabinet. Looking at the clean table, Snape finally spoke.
“The materials that don’t need to be processed have been put away. Next are some things that need to be processed, but they haven’t arrived today. When they arrive, I’ll let you deal with them. Okay, you can go now.”
This shit is not going to end, right? Murphy roared in his heart, then agreed obediently, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
“Is there anything else?” Seeing that Murphy had no intention of leaving, Snape asked with some confusion.
“Professor, I have completed the task you assigned to me. Should I get any reward?” Murphy asked in a chirping voice.
“Reward? What reward do you want?” Snape asked.
“How about Felicis Felix? I think Felicis Felix should not be a problem for a potion master like you.” Murphy said with a blink of his eyes.
“Felix Felicis!” Snape almost choked on his own saliva. He glared at Murphy fiercely.
“Since you know about Felicis Felix, you should know how rare it is. A small bottle of Felicis Felix sells for at least 2,000 Galleons in Diagon Alley, and there is still a shortage of people to buy it, you know!”
“I know, but aren’t you a master? It shouldn’t be that expensive to make it yourself,” said Murphy.
“Refining! It takes at least half a year to refine a bottle of Felicity Potion, and every step cannot be neglected. Plus, it requires materials. Not to mention other things, three kinds of materials from unicorns alone are needed, especially that drop of unicorn blood. Do you know its requirements?” Snape was already a little exasperated at this time.
“I know. It’s just blood from a unicorn that can’t be older than three months, given voluntarily. This may be difficult for others, but Professor, you are the youngest potion master. You must have a way, right?”
Snape was stunned for a moment when he heard Murphy’s thoughtless words. He didn’t expect that Murphy actually knew the material requirements of the Felixir.
“Okay, you don’t have to say anything. I really don’t have those special materials, but since you mentioned it, I can promise you that if you collect all the materials, I can refine them for you, and…” Snape said this and suddenly thought of a material he had accidentally obtained.
“Forget it, wait until you have collected them all.”
After hearing what Snape said, Murphy left with satisfaction. In fact, he had never thought of asking Snape to give him materials. His purpose was to let Snape help him refine it.
As for the materials, doesn’t he have a good friend in Hogwarts? I believe that a good friend will definitely find a way, otherwise what kind of good friend is that!
Chapter 22: Flying Lesson (Old Version)
At the beginning, Murphy was indeed indifferent to potions. After all, his future path would definitely revolve around the system.
But when he suddenly remembered that there was a very buggy potion in the Harry Potter world, Felicis Felix, everything became interesting.
The Luck Potion is a very unique potion. It has only one effect, which is to increase the luck of the person who takes it, making a person very lucky within twelve hours.
You should know that in other fictional worlds, things that increase luck are unique to the protagonist and are extremely rare, but in this world, although the luck potion is not easy to refine, it can still be made.
What can I say about this? I can only say that the fairy tale world is often so illogical!
Murphy’s need for the Lucky Spirit Potion was also urgent. After all, he could participate in the lottery. If he got a bottle of Lucky Spirit Potion during the lottery, wouldn’t that be like heaven?
As soon as he got up the next day, Murphy planned to go to his good friend, Hagrid, the ranger of Hogwarts, to communicate his feelings and see if their feelings were worth a unicorn horn, a strand of unicorn tail hair and a drop of unicorn baby blood donated voluntarily.
But when he passed by the common room, he saw a group of first-year Slytherins gathered in front of the bulletin board looking at something.
Out of damn curiosity, Murphy ignored the looks of the other little wizards and squeezed to the front of the crowd, looking at the bulletin board.
[The flying class will start at 3:30 this afternoon. Gryffindor and Slytherin will take the class together, while Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff will take the class together. Please attend on time! ]I should explain here that, under normal circumstances, except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class which is taught by four houses together, all other classes are taught by two houses together, and Slytherin is of course taught with Gryffindor. As for flying classes, there are no fixed time points and they are all taught at short notice. After all, flying classes are outdoors and it depends on whether the weather permits.
Boring, flying on a broom is really stupid, Murphy curled his lips and prepared to leave.
“Dis, are you scared? I think you have never ridden a broomstick before.” Suddenly a mean voice sounded from beside Murphy.
“Malfoy, if you don’t want to miss out on your sweet time with Harry Potter because of living in the school hospital, then you’d better shut up. Otherwise, I can send you there to stay for a few days!”
Murphy’s words immediately choked Malfoy. He grunted for a long time before he managed to say, “Wait, I want to see you fall off the broom. What else can you say!”
Ignoring Malfoy’s stubborn attitude, Murphy quickly left the common room, walked out the door, and ran towards Hagrid’s hut next to the Forbidden Forest.
“Go away, Fang, you’ve wet my clothes!” Murphy finally broke free from Hagrid’s pet dog Fang and pushed open the door, but there was no one in the cabin.
Looking at Yaya who was chasing his tail, Murphy decisively gave up asking and returned to the castle. It didn’t matter if he waited a little longer.
Before the flying lesson, Murphy went to Hagrid’s hut five times, but found no trace of Hagrid.
What happened? Did something happen to my good friend?
Murphy walked towards the playground, speculating maliciously.
When he arrived at the playground, almost all the little wizards from the two academies were already there, and there were about twenty brooms placed on the ground.
As an alternative Slytherin, who was neither liked by Slytherin nor accepted by Gryffindor, Murphy was very self-aware and stood next to the broom at the side.
“Harry, look there.” Ron said to Harry, pointing in the direction of Murphy.
“Murphy? Why is he standing there alone? Doesn’t he have any friends?” Harry said curiously.
“Didn’t you say he was an orphan? Orphans must be like this in Slytherin. They will only welcome new students from pure-blood families.” Ron said as a matter of course.
After hearing what Ron said, Harry felt fortunate that he insisted on not going to Slytherin, otherwise he would have to stand there alone.
At the same time, a doubt arose in Harry’s mind. That is, the Sorting Hat also asked him to go to Slytherin at that time. Does that mean that the probability of an orphan entering Slytherin is very high?
While Harry and Ron were chatting, Hermione also heard what they were saying.
After listening to this, Hermione’s eyes showed sympathy. Although this person was annoying, he was really pitiful.
Murphy didn’t realize that he was being pitied for no reason while he was standing there thinking about how to ask Hagrid for those things.
“Beep…” A sharp whistle sounded, and Madam Hooch made a brilliant entrance.
“What are you waiting for? Everyone stand next to the brooms, quickly, don’t waste time!”
Following Madam Hooch’s words, all the students chose a broom and stood over. As for the seat next to Murphy, it was actually Draco Malfoy who was standing.
He glanced at Murphy, then pointed at the broom proudly.
“Stretch out your right hand and place it on top of the broom.” Madam Hooch quickly shuttled through the crowd, “and then shout loudly, ‘Get up!'”
“Get up!” the little wizards shouted in unison.
“Ouch!” Suddenly a wailing sound was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
At this time, Murphy stood there innocently, while Malfoy covered the left side of his face, with two broken brooms beside him.
“Professor, Murphy attacked me!” Malfoy shouted as he jumped.
“I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!” Murphy quickly retorted.
It turned out that just now, when Madam Huo Qi asked everyone to shout, Murphy also shouted along with the crowd.
But he didn’t expect that his broom was so obedient and flew up with a bang.
It did fly, but a problem also occurred. Maybe it was because the broom had been in disrepair for a long time and its aim was a little off, but it flew straight into Malfoy’s face.
Seeing the red mark on Malfoy’s face, all the Gryffindors burst into laughter, while Slaterlin laughed quietly to show his respect.
“Okay, it’s just an accident, let’s continue practicing!” After learning the whole story, Madam Hooch ignored Malfoy.
Malfoy glared at Murphy fiercely, then forcefully switched places with Goyle.
Chapter 23: Sword Flying Experiment (Old Version)
In the playground outside Hogwarts Castle, Gryffindor and Slytherin students are taking flying lessons.
Mrs. Hooch, the flying class professor, saw that most of the students were holding brooms, so she moved on to the next step, teaching everyone how to ride on them.
In a corner where no one cared, Murphy was still negotiating with his broom.
“Listen, I don’t care if you have any intelligence or not, I’m going to say this one last time, if you don’t jump into my hands obediently, I will definitely stuff you into the fireplace!”
[Emotion value (fear) +1 from the old broom from flying class! ]Murphy looked at the prompt with satisfaction, then shouted.
With a snap, the broom flew into his hand. You can imagine how painful it was!
“Come down, it hasn’t started flying yet, come down quickly!” Madam Hooch’s voice called Murphy’s attention away from the broom.
Watching Neville flying higher and higher on his broom in panic, Murphy immediately knew that the plot had begun.
As expected, Neville broke his arm. Madam Hooch shouted and rushed over. After checking, she took Neville away from the playground.
But before leaving, she also wanted to warn the students.
“No one is allowed to go up to the sky. If anyone rides a broom to the sky without permission, they will be kicked out of Hogwarts!”
Watching Madam Hooch leave, Malfoy started to act up. He picked up Neville’s memory ball at some point and challenged Harry.
“Potter, I’m going to put this memory ball on top of the castle now. Come up and grab it if you dare!”
After saying this, he picked up the broom and flew quickly upwards.
Harry Potter was not to be outdone and followed without paying attention to Hermione’s warning.
Next, the two of them chased each other.
Murphy found it quite interesting at first, but he soon lost interest. Although he also liked flying in the air, I’m sorry, he really had no interest in riding on a broom.
Murphy sat on the lawn with the broom he had ‘tamed’. While thinking about how to change the broom, he unconsciously stroked the trembling flying broom.
Speaking of coolness, flying with a sword must be better than this thing. So how can you fly with a sword?
The Transfiguration spell is necessary to turn everything into a sword.
The levitation spell should also be necessary to reduce the resistance in the air.
What else?
Oh, and there is also the Iron Armor Spell, which can be used to resist air currents.
What remains is the momentum to move forward, which can be achieved with the Explosion Spell. Use the Explosion Spell backwards to push the airflow and move yourself forward.
Thinking of this, Murphy could no longer hold back and took advantage of the fact that everyone’s attention was drawn away to Harry Potter and Malfoy.
He threw the broom aside, then took out a wooden board used for practicing Transfiguration spells from his bracelet, and used the Transfiguration spell to turn it into a very cool sword.
After putting the sword on the ground, Murphy stood directly on it, first cast an armor spell on himself and the sword, then cast a levitation spell on the sword, and immediately cast an explosion spell behind him.
With a loud bang, Murphy felt a huge force coming from under his feet. Without any surprise, he fell to the ground, and the sword under his feet flew away with a whoosh.
Damn, what’s going on? Why did I leave myself here?
Just as Murphy was thinking about what happened, the attention of other students was attracted by the explosion.
“Dis, did you just explode?” Hermione ran over with an unbelievable expression on her face.
You exploded, your whole family exploded!
“No, how could it be possible? I was standing there fine, and I fell down here.” Murphy patted the dirt off his body and stood up. “You must have heard it wrong. Yes, I heard it wrong. I fell down accidentally, and the sound was just a little loud.”
“Shouldn’t you look at him now?” Seeing that Hermione wanted to ask something, Murphy pointed at the air and said to Hermione.
When Hermione turned to look in the direction of Murphy’s finger, her eyes widened immediately.
“OMG.”
At this time, Harry Potter was riding on his broom and flying towards the wall of Hogwarts Castle. When he was about to hit the wall, he reached out to catch something, then did a 180-degree spin in the air and hovered in the air, raising his right hand high, and all the little wizards of Gryffindor below shouted.
“Potter!” Professor McGonagall’s voice suddenly rang out, and the window next to Harry was opened from the inside, and Professor McGonagall stuck her head out.
“Go down and wait for me on the grass!”
After saying that, she shrank back.
Hearing Professor McGonagall’s voice, Harry landed in disappointment.
“Potter, you’re going to be expelled.” At this time, Malfoy didn’t care that Harry actually caught the memory ball he threw out. He looked at the pale Harry with a smirk on his face.
“If Harry is expelled, you will be expelled too. Don’t forget that it was you who brought Neville’s memory ball into the sky.” Ron shouted angrily.
“My father is the school director. No matter who they fire, they can’t fire me!” Malfoy said proudly.
“How dare you do this here!” Professor McGonagall ran out of the castle angrily and scolded Harry loudly.
“Professor, it’s Malfoy, he…” Harry was about to explain when he was interrupted by Professor McGonagall.
“Do you know what would happen if you hit the wall?”
“Professor, it’s not Harry’s fault.” A Gryffindor girl also wanted to help Harry explain.
“Stop talking, Miss Moon. Okay, Potter, come with me. The rest of you, whether Gryffindor or Slytherin, are not allowed to go to heaven. Just wait here for Madam Hooch to come back!”
After saying this, Professor McGonagall took Harry away from the playground.
“It’s over, Harry will definitely be expelled.” Hermione said worriedly.
“Expel him? How is that possible? Hogwarts would not expel a student so easily, let alone Harry Potter, who is the savior!” Murphy said casually while thinking about the accident just now.
In fact, judging from the fact that the sword flew away, this method is completely feasible. The only problem now is how to fix oneself on the sword!
Sticking spell? It seems a bit difficult. This sticking spell seems to be permanent.
Forget it, I’ll just wait until the Charms class and ask Professor Flitwick.
Chapter 24 Help from Good Friend Hagrid (Old Version)
After class, Murphy did not return to the castle, but still walked towards Hagrid’s hut.
To be honest, he was a little anxious. After all, it would take another half a year to refine the Fuling Potion, and the sooner the materials were gathered, the better.
When he arrived at the cabin, he felt relieved when he saw the light inside.
“Hagrid, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you all day.” Murphy said as he pushed open Hagrid’s door.
“Oh, it’s Murphy. I went to Knockturn Alley to buy some anthelmintic, but unfortunately I waited all day and didn’t get any. What do you want to talk to me about?” Hagrid didn’t seem dissatisfied when he saw Murphy came in directly. He smiled and made a cup of tea for Murphy and handed it to him.
“It’s like this, I want to make a potion and I need some materials, so I came to you to see if you have any.” Murphy said directly.
“No problem, you can take whatever I have here, what do you need?”
“Unicorn tail hair, unicorn horn, Acromantula venom.”
After hearing this, Hagrid picked up the tattered blanket from the chair beside him, grabbed a handful of the edge of the blanket and handed it to Murphy.
“Your blanket is woven entirely from unicorn’s tail hair?” Murphy swallowed. He knew that Hagrid had a lot of good things here, but he never expected it to be so extravagant, a blanket woven from unicorn’s tail hair!
“Yes, as you know, they are always running around in the Forbidden Forest and are often scratched by branches, so a lot of their tail hair falls off.” Hagrid said nonchalantly, “I also have gauze woven with their tail hair here, do you want some?”
Although he wanted it very much, Murphy still suppressed his bleeding heart and shook his head firmly. After all, these were also picked up by Hagrid with great effort.
“A unicorn horn, right?” Hagrid said as he opened the drawer under the cupboard and picked out a larger unicorn horn from the drawer and handed it over.
“The venom of the eight-eyed giant spider. This thing is very dangerous. You have to be careful. I discovered it by accident.” While speaking evasively, Hagrid took out almost a pint of venom from a wooden barrel.
As a good friend, Murphy certainly would not expose the fact that Hagrid was secretly raising the eight-eyed giant spider. He carefully accepted the venom and continued speaking.
“There’s another special one. I don’t know if you have it. It’s a drop of blood given voluntarily by a young unicorn no older than three months old.” Murphy asked nervously. This was definitely very rare, and he didn’t hold out hope that Hagrid would have it. He just hoped that Hagrid could find a way to get it for him.
“What a coincidence! I have this too. Let me think where I put it?” Hagrid said as he searched through the boxes and drawers.
“Just last week when I went to the Forbidden Forest, I saw a little fellow with an injured hind leg. It was no more than two months old and kept neighing. I bandaged it and it took the initiative to give me its blood. I found this!”
As he spoke, Hagrid handed over a glass bottle with four or five drops of silvery-white liquid in it.
At this point Murphy had nothing to say, and what else could he say? He really had no problem with Hagrid as his friend.
“Thank you so much, Hagrid. Don’t worry, I will definitely repay you in the future!” Murphy said with emotion.
“It’s not a good thing, there’s no need to do this.” Hagrid scratched his head with a silly smile, “By the way, do you want some snacks? I have some rock cakes that I just made yesterday.”
“Uh.” Hearing the name of Rock Cake, Murphy immediately became alert, “Forget it, I’ll go back first. I need to make the potion as soon as possible.”
“Well, how about you take a few back with you?”
Looking at Hagrid’s expectant eyes and the things in his hand, Murphy couldn’t refuse and could only fill his pockets with rock cakes.
Even if you don’t eat it, it can be used as a hidden weapon for sneak attacks.
When they returned to the castle, it was already dinner time. Looking at the crowded auditorium, Murphy turned a corner and walked directly to the basement.
“Professor, are you going out?” Murphy quickly stopped Snape as he walked out of the office.
“If you don’t know the time, you can buy a watch.” Snape said expressionlessly.
“Look what this is?” Murphy said as he took out the bottle of unicorn blood and shook it in front of Snape.
“Voluntarily donated unicorn blood!” As a potion master, Snape recognized it instantly.
In fact, it is very simple to distinguish whether the unicorn’s blood is donated voluntarily. Voluntary donations will flash a lively silver-white color, while involuntary donations will be dark.
At this time, Snape didn’t say anything about whether to eat or not. He opened the office door again and walked in.
“Where did you get these?” Snape asked curiously as he looked at the unicorn tail hair, unicorn horn and unicorn blood that Murphy took out.
“Don’t worry about that.” As Hagrid’s good friend, Murphy knew Hagrid’s habits very well. If Snape knew about it, nothing would be left.
“Now we still need belladonna, fire snake eggs, salamander eggs, lemon juice, and amaranth petals.”
“Have you forgotten something? There’s also the venom of the Acromantula. Although the price is not very high, it is definitely not cheap, and it is hard to find, even in Knockturn Alley…” Snape stopped talking abruptly as he looked at the venom that Murphy took out.
“Have you found a nest of eight-eyed giant spiders?” Snape asked in surprise, looking at the pint (one pint equals 568.26 ml) of venom in disbelief.
“It’s not bad now, right? Professor, you said you would refine it for me. You wouldn’t lie to me, right?” Murphy asked.
“Of course not. Not only can I refine it for you, I can also improve it for you.” Snape said as he took out a small box from the drawer of the desk.
“Do you know what this is?” Snape opened the box and pinched out something like a grain of sand.
“It looks like a grain of sand?” Murphy answered unconfidently.
“Yes, this is a grain of sand, but it is not ordinary sand, it is the time sand in the time converter!”
The Time Turner is one of the three major bugs in the Harry Potter world, which allows the user to go back several hours.
The other two bugs are Apparition and the previously mentioned Felicity Potion.
These three things represent time, space and luck. Normally, all worlds involving these three forces are worlds with very high power systems, but it is obvious that the Harry Potter world is not like that, so it can only be said to be a BUG.
“Then how do you use this?” Murphy asked puzzledly.
“Of course it’s best to put it in when adding the tip of the unicorn horn.”
Looking at Snape’s confident expression, Murphy nodded in agreement.
After that, Murphy was kicked out because Snape was going to start the formal refining from tonight, and Murphy was not yet at the stage where he could help, so staying there would only make things worse!
Chapter 25 A new round of harvesting plan begins (old version)
Murphy left Snape’s office with satisfaction. He had done what he needed to do and would not have to wait until half a year later to get the freshly-baked Felixir.
There is only one thing you need to do now, and that is to obtain as many emotional points as possible within half a year, so that you don’t have the emotional points to draw when you have the lucky elixir.
While thinking about how to increase his emotional value, Murphy walked towards the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Malfoy standing at the Gryffindor table with his two henchmen, Goyle and Crabbe, in a domineering manner.
To be precise, he was standing next to Harry Potter.
No one knew what was said to either side. Anyway, Malfoy pointed at Crabbe and then left with the two of them.
It should be a duel. Murphy sat at the dining table eating a sandwich and quickly thought of the next plot.
Malfoy took the initiative to invite Harry Potter to a duel, but he did not go. Instead, he reported Harry Potter to Filch, hoping to trick Harry Potter and have him put in detention.
Thinking of this, Murphy’s eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, isn’t this a ready-made channel?
If you do it well, you can get an endless supply of emotion points!
Thinking of this, Murphy’s appetite suddenly opened up. After eating a sandwich, he ate two grilled ribs, three chicken legs and a bowl of borscht before leaving the auditorium with a bulging belly.
After all, there may be a lot to do at night, otherwise it would be bad to get hungry. You know, you are still growing now!
Murphy wandered around the castle for a while, firstly to familiarize himself with the place, and secondly to digest his food, after all, he had eaten a lot. Of course, these were not the most important things.
What mattered most was what he heard now.
“Mr. Filch, when I was leaving the hall just now, I accidentally overheard a conversation between several Gryffindors. They agreed to go to the trophy room at 11:30 tonight to do something bad. Although I don’t know what they are going to do specifically, I think you’d better know this news. After all, you are the gatekeeper of Hogwarts.” Malfoy’s voice sounded from not far away.
“I understand. I will go there tonight. If someone really goes to cause trouble, I will catch him and hang him up and whip him. But if there is no one, I will tell Mr. Malfoy from Slaterlin to complain to Professor Snape!” A gloomy voice also sounded, and it belonged to Filch.
“Why do you say that, Mr. Filch? I’m just telling you what I heard. I’m not sure whether it’s true or not, but I think it’s not far from here to the trophy room. It shouldn’t be a problem to take a look.”
“Of course, this is just my idea. It’s up to you whether you go or not, Mr. Goalkeeper.”
Listening to Malfoy’s words, Murphy couldn’t help but nodded. The Malfoy in the movie seemed like a brainless second generation, but the Malfoy just now was completely different.
I have to say that when Malfoy was not confronting Harry Potter head on, he was still a qualified heir to the nobility. No matter what happened, he would first get himself out of the situation, and then use some small tricks to stimulate the other party to follow the direction he had planned.
“Hmph, I get it!” Filch snorted coldly, then slammed the door shut.
After hearing what he wanted to hear, Murphy didn’t stay here for long. He slowly walked up the stairs to the fourth floor. After determining the location of the trophy display room, he felt that he had almost digested it, so he returned to his dormitory, set the alarm for eleven o’clock, and went to bed.
Ding-a-ling….
The sound of an alarm clock woke Murphy up from his sleep. He quickly turned off the alarm and prepared to get up and go out. When he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
“Expect God to Guard!”
In an instant, a Dementor made of silver light appeared in the room.
Looking at the glittering Dementors, Murphy didn’t know if it was an illusion or something, but he felt that his patronus didn’t seem to be as active in Azkaban.
Forget it, I’ll study this later when I have the chance. Today, the main purpose is still the emotional value.
Murphy left the Slytherin common room quietly and went straight up the stairs.
Soon he arrived at the trophy display room on the fourth floor. Looking at the trophies and medals that were emitting silver light under the moonlight, Murphy directly summoned out his patronus, and suddenly the silver light in the whole room became brighter.
It would be better if the light was a little dimmer, Murphy thought as he looked at the glittering guardian. After all, the more sudden the attack, the better.
Not sure if it was an illusion, Murphy was surprised to find that the light on the patronus seemed to be a little dimmer.
Darker! Darker!
No, this is not an illusion! The light on the patron saint’s body is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Keep going, don’t stop!
Soon, the light on the Guardian Angel almost disappeared, and he looked like a large black shadow floating in the air.
Not only that, Murphy was also surprised to find that as the light on the patronus decreased, the magic power used to maintain the patronus’ existence was also decreasing.
If Murphy could maintain the patronus for five minutes at the beginning, then according to his current condition, he can at least maintain the patronus for fifty minutes, a full ten times difference!
Just when Murphy wanted to continue his research, a voice suddenly came from outside.
“This is the trophy room, right?”
As the voice rang out, the door of the showroom was opened from the outside, and Murphy quickly hid behind a suit of armor.
At this time, four people crept in. They were Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Neville Longbottom who was bandaged.
After coming in, the four people did not continue to walk inside, but stood there close to the wall.
“Malfoy, Malfoy, come out quickly, we’re here. Don’t worry, only Ron and I will go up, the other two will not participate.” Harry Potter called out softly.
After a moment, there was still no response.
“They shouldn’t be here yet. Harry, you watch the front door and I’ll watch the back door. Be careful of their sneak attacks.” Ron said as he moved to the back door, holding his wand tightly.
Chapter 26: Plan in Progress (Old Version)
Hogwarts Castle, inside the Trophy Room.
“Harry, Harry, ten minutes have passed. Are they coming or not?” Seeing the time passing by, Hermione couldn’t help it and asked in a low voice.
“I don’t know either. Are they scared? Are they giving up on their own initiative?” Harry was getting a little impatient waiting at this point.
“Honey, smell it carefully to see if anyone has been here before.”
Suddenly a voice sounded from outside the door.
“It’s Filch!” said Harry and Ron in unison.
At this moment, the four people’s hearts were pounding, and they hurried to the back door away from Filch’s voice.
Just as Neville walked out of the trophy room, the front door creaked open.
“They should be in here, dear. Go and see if they are hiding.” Felcher said to his wife, Mrs. Norris.
Next, the man and the cat began to search carefully.
Soon Mrs. Loris stopped next to a set of armor, sniffed it carefully twice, and then jumped behind the armor.
A terrible cat cry suddenly rang out.
“What happened, Mrs. Norris? Did you find someone?” Filch threatened as he ran over here.
“No matter who you are, if you attack Madam Loris, I will definitely hang you up and whip you…, ah…!”
At this time, a huge figure wearing a cloak was floating in the air. The face where the facial features should have been was empty, with only a black hole. The whole figure emitted a faint silver light, and looked particularly terrifying under the moonlight!
After hearing the notification tone, Murphy did not go to see it but took the opportunity to slip out.
After going out, Murphy ran towards Harry and others while opening the prompt bar of the system interface and looking over.
[Emotion value (fear) +5 from Madam Loris! ][Emotion value (fear) +3 from Madam Loris! ][Emotion value (fear) +30 from Argus Filch! ][Emotion value (fear) +25 from Argus Filch! ]Wow, that’s great, I can absorb the emotion value of the same person twice!
Looking at the four new tips, Murphy nodded with satisfaction.
Actually, today is just an attempt to see what Hogwarts is like at night. It seems pretty good now.
“Running around! Uncle Peeves loves to watch the little wizard running around, especially at night when the lights are off!” Suddenly a sharp and funny voice came from above Murphy’s head.
Murphy didn’t stop but looked over as he ran.
I saw a blue ghost wearing a colorful suit and tie, but with a short and stocky figure and less than one meter tall, flying above Murphy’s head.
Murphy didn’t say anything. He just made the guardian angel that had been following him burst out a little, and a dazzling silver light suddenly bloomed.
“Ah…” Peeves screamed, then continued with a chuckle, “It’s really scary, but Peeves is not afraid of this faceless guy.”
“Peeves, I’m going to see the Bloody Baron now. If you want to meet him, then just follow me.” Seeing that Peeves was not affected by the patronus at all, Murphy said without thinking.
“The Bloody Baron? Uncle Peeves is not afraid of him!” Peeves slowed down his flying speed. He looked at Murphy carefully, especially the school uniform representing Slytherin, and finally stopped.
“I remember there are still a few annoying students running around. I’m going to go play with them.”
After saying that, Peeves disappeared into the wall.
Damn it, now that Peeves has found me, will they still go there?
Thinking of this, Murphy hesitated for a moment, but based on the principle that he was already here, he quickly ran towards the room that was “strictly” prohibited by Dumbledore.
Soon he came to the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a bandaged hand disappearing into a room.
Right now, Murphy was overwhelmed with surprise. He quickly drove his patronus to the door, and made it take off its hood again, emitting a silver glow.
After all this was done, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and four figures rushed out. Seeing this, Murphy quickly hid in the corner.
Just when he wanted to take a look, suddenly four warning sounds rang out, and then he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Why is the prompt tone gone? Murphy scratched his head in confusion, then carefully stretched his head out and immediately understood.
At this point, Harry and the other three all fell to the ground without making any movement. Only their patronus was still floating there stupidly.
Oh my god, I was so scared that I fainted!
Murphy walked over awkwardly and quickly dispelled his patronus. After thinking for a while, he cast a spell on the four of them.
“Recover quickly!”
A green light enveloped the four people, and soon they gradually woke up.
At this time, because Murphy was facing away from the moonlight, he looked like a dark shadow in their eyes.
Suddenly, four screams rang out at the same time, “Ah!”*4!
Hearing the continuous beeping of prompts, Murphy, who wanted to stop them, stopped immediately. He just looked at them quietly, while carefully watching if anyone came over.
“Wait, you are Murphy?” The first one to react was Hermione. She saw the familiar outline in the moonlight.
“It’s me.” Murphy heard the prompt tone gradually disappear and sighed silently in his heart.
Harry Potter also stopped after hearing Hermione’s words. He looked carefully and found that it was indeed Murphy. He pulled Ron and Neville’s arms, motioning them to stop as well.
“Why are you here? Was that monster just now you?” Hermione looked around first, then asked hurriedly.
“Me? I couldn’t sleep at night and wanted to go out for a walk, but the door to the hallway was closed, so I had to go upstairs. As soon as I reached the third floor, I heard screams from upstairs, so I wanted to go and take a look, but unfortunately I didn’t see anything. I was about to go back when I saw a silver shadow floating past, and when I came over, I saw you guys lying here.” Murphy made up a story.
“What about you guys? Are you guys out for a walk because you can’t sleep?”
“Of course not, it’s all Malfoy’s fault. He asked me to duel in the trophy room, but who knew he didn’t show up!” Harry said a little unhappily.
Chapter 27: Night of Terror (Old Version)
“Is this how you got here?” After listening to Harry’s story, Murphy didn’t know what to say.
It turned out that just now, not long after Harry and the other three slipped out of the trophy room, they heard the screams of Filch and his cat.
This made them even more terrified, and they ran around aimlessly in the corridor.
And for some reason, every time someone suggested stopping, Harry’s sixth sense told him that someone was following him. What they didn’t know was that this person was Murphy!
After rushing here, seeing that there was no way to go, they broke into the room behind them.
What’s in the room is, of course, Fluffy, the three-headed dog that Dumbledore borrowed from Hagrid.
Looking at the grinning Fluffy, the four of them became even more frightened. They retreated without caring about Filch anymore, but it turned out that Murphy’s patronus was outside the door again.
The poor four people were frightened to death.
“Murphy, do you know what’s in that bag?” Harry asked quickly, as if he suddenly thought of something.
“I don’t know what it is exactly, but judging by the feel of it, it feels like a stone, maybe a gem or something like that.” Murphy pretended to recall, “Why are you asking this?”
“Nothing, I just…” Harry was about to tell what he had just discovered, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered that Murphy was a Slaterin, hesitated for a moment, and did not say it.
“It’s okay. I just suddenly remembered what the newspaper said. Gringotts was robbed on the day we went to Diagon Alley.”
Looking at Harry’s incoherent behavior, Murphy could understand it. After all, Slytherin had a bad reputation, and no Gryffindor would trust a Slytherin.
However, understanding is one thing, but unhappiness is real! Since you make me unhappy, you can forget about feeling comfortable.
Murphy’s eyes rolled, then he pointed sharply towards the four people and shouted with a hint of fear.
“Look, what is that?”
Harry and the other three quickly turned their heads and saw that the tall monster had appeared beside them again.
“Ah!”*4
It was still the familiar formula, and still the familiar shouting. The only difference was that this time Harry and the other three did not faint. After shouting, they ran away.
“Run, it’s too scary, it’s opened its mouth, it’s about to bite me…” Murphy walked leisurely behind the four people, looking at their embarrassed posture, and did not forget to encourage them to run faster.
Murphy didn’t stop until the four figures had completely disappeared.
Go back? Of course it’s impossible to go back, the hunt has begun!
Murphy showed an evil smile on his face, and then began to look around.
Oops, red-haired twins and a dark one.
What else is there to say? Come out, my patron saint will purify the heretic before you!
Listening to the pleasant screams and the notification sound of the emotional value being credited, Murphy became even more excited.
His eyes were shining as he kept moving back and forth in the castle. Let’s hunt to our heart’s content!
Cross is a sixth-year boy from Gryffindor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An unexpected encounter led him to meet Grimm, a girl from Hufflepuff.
Cross had always been facing carefree Gryffindor girls, but this gentle and slightly shy Hufflepuff girl instantly captured Cross’s heart.
After unremitting efforts, Cross finally made an appointment with Grimm at midnight.
The two of them carefully walked through the corridor and came to the top floor of the astronomical tower. Bathed in the bright moonlight and gazing at the starry sky, Cross had to do something so as not to waste the romantic night.
His heartbeat gradually began to speed up, and he would occasionally glance at the girl next to him out of the corner of his eye.
The girl’s face looks so gentle and charming in the moonlight.
Klaus carefully wiped the sweat from his palms on his robe. After hesitating for a long time, he quietly reached out in the direction of the girl.
Soon, a cool touch appeared on the back of his hand, and Klaus became stiff in an instant. He didn’t dare to move at all.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Klaus found that the back of the other person’s hand was still on his own, and he was immediately surprised. It seemed that she didn’t hate him!
At this time, Klaus was no longer satisfied with the contact of the back of the hand. Although he was a little anxious, he still slowly moved his right hand until his fingers completely touched the other person’s palm.
Klaus took a deep breath slowly, then suddenly grasped the other’s delicate hand.
After Klaus held the other person’s hand, the first thing he felt was cold, as cold as touching ice.
Oh, damn, she must be cold now, I should have brought a blanket, Klaus thought with some regret, but he didn’t expect that her hands were so big and hard when pinched.
Is this really a girl’s hand? Why does it look like there are scabs?
No matter how stupid Klaus was, he realized something was wrong and turned to look at the girl in panic.
And what about Grimm? After she came here with Klaus, even though she was innocent, she knew that something embarrassing might happen.
Especially in the moonlight, she saw Klaus still secretly glancing at her out of the corner of his eyes.
Shy, Grimm quickly closed her eyes. A moment later, a cold hand held her hand. She felt the hard skin and the cold touch.
Grimm seemed to have discovered something wrong. Although Klaus was a boy, why were there so many scabs on his hands?
In this way, the two of them turned their heads to each other, one on the left and one on the right.
Ah! Two screams, one big and one small, rang out instantly.
It turned out that someone wearing a tattered cloak appeared among them. His whole body looked like it had been soaked. There was no organ on his big bald head, only a black hole that could swallow any light!
Dementors!!!
Unlike the little wizards in the lower grades, they recognized the sixth graders who were about to enter the graduating class immediately, and their screams echoed throughout the castle.
Then a series of explosions sounded.
Murphy, who had been following them quietly, knew that the professor would be alarmed after seeing this scene, so he quickly ran downstairs, not forgetting to cancel the patronus while running.
Chapter 28 Professors’ Doubts (Old Version)
Ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred!
Two hundred, three hundred, five hundred!
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand!
Looking at the 3,456 emotion points that had finally arrived, Murphy stretched out his right hand and waved it vigorously!
Very NICE!
While feeling excited, he also summarized tonight’s actions!
Compared to surprise, fear seems to be easier to obtain.
Generally speaking, surprise is a one-time experience, while fear can be acquired over time.
But you also have to be careful about the degree. After all, if someone is frightened to death, you can’t continue to give it to him.
Also, we cannot act rashly against the senior students. They now have some ability to protect themselves, and there is a high possibility that they will cause a big noise, just like the last couple today.
Just as Murphy was summarizing today’s actions, Hogwarts’ headmaster Dumbledore and the deans of various colleges all appeared on the top floor of the Astronomy Tower, along with the young couple.
“Now can you tell me why you are still here at such a late hour?” Professor McGonagall asked coldly.
“Minerva, don’t scare them. They are still children and just want a pure relationship…” Professor Sprout smiled at the ill-fated couple, as if to say, “I’m optimistic about you!”
“That’s right, Minerva, I believe they are all good children.” Dumbledore nodded and his expression became serious after he said this.
“Klaus and Grimm, are you sure what you just saw was a Dementor?”
“Of course, Professor, I am very sure that it is definitely a Dementor. Although I have not seen other Dementors, they are specifically discussed in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!” Klaus said firmly.
“Yes, professor. Especially its face with no facial features and only a mouth is so scary!” Grimm said palely, and it was obvious that she was really scared.
“I have no doubt about what you saw. How did you feel at the time?” Dumbledore continued.
“Scared, so scared.” Grimm said directly.
“Besides fear, what else? Despair? Cold? Do you feel these?” Dumbledore asked hurriedly.
After hearing what Dumbledore said, the two looked at each other at the same time. Grimm did not react, but when Klaus saw Grimm, for some reason the scene just now suddenly appeared in his mind again, and he took a step back without leaving a trace.
“Ten points deducted from Gryffindor, Klauslauer is put in detention for six days!” Although his actions were very covert, all those present were old professors. They immediately frowned at Klaus’s behavior, and Professor McGonagall shouted directly with a cold face.
“This is Gryffindor.” Snape sneered, which made Professor McGonagall’s face even uglier.
Grimm was stunned for a moment, then, contrary to her weak performance just now, she snorted at Klaus with disdain, then thought for a moment and took the initiative to speak.
“Professor, I know what you mean. Now think about it, it seems to be different from the Dementors in the book. It does not absorb pleasure. It seems to appear just to scare me and us. Even if this person and I cast a spell on it, it will disappear directly and will not attack us. I, I…”
At the end, Grimm frowned and hesitated.
“Good girl, don’t worry about saying the wrong thing, just feel free to speak your mind.” Professor Sprout pulled the girl from his college to his side and said.
“Okay Professor, I just wonder if it’s not a Dementor, but something else that looks like a Dementor.”
“How is this possible? It’s a Dementor!” Before the professors could say anything, Klaus became anxious and shouted loudly.
“Well, you have been frightened a lot tonight, go back first.” Dumbledore said calmly, “Pomona, send this child back, she is a good girl!”
Professor Sprout nodded, then took the girl away. As for Klaus, although he hoped that a professor could give him a ride, he had to leave in disappointment when he saw Professor McGonagall’s cold eyes.
“Minerva, you and Filius go and notify each college to take an inventory of the students and see if anyone is missing.
“And Minerva, remember to ask those two funny guys to see if they know anything?”
After listening to this, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick nodded and left, but Professor McGonagall’s face became even uglier when she left.
After hearing what Dumbledore said, she had a sudden realization.
It’s not a Dementor, it appears just to scare people!
Who in the whole Hogwarts could do such a thing? It must be the Weasley brothers, the clowns of Hogwarts!
“It must be the two Weasleys from Gryffindor. No one else would do such a thing.” Professor Snape asserted, while looking at Dumbledore with some confusion.
“Since they did it, why did you let me stay?”
“No, it wasn’t them. Although the Weasley brothers like to play pranks, they can’t do it to this extent.” After Dumbledore finished speaking, he took out his wand and kept waving it in the air.
Countless rays of light entangled in the air, and soon a picture appeared in the air.
A silver Dementor was floating there silently.
“Dementors did appear here just now!!!” Snape said in astonishment as he looked at the scene.
“That’s not the case. What we can be sure of now is that something that looks exactly like a Dementor has appeared here just now. However, it does not have the Dementors’ ability to absorb pleasure. You should know that Dementors’ absorption of pleasure is not under their own control, but is an ability that is naturally emitted by the magic in their bodies.” Dumbledore said, looking at the image in the air.
“Disguising the traces of magic requires extremely strong magical power and extremely profound knowledge, especially disguising the traces of magic of Dementors. I doubt whether you can do it.” Snape said.
“I can’t do it. It’s easy for other creatures, but Dementors will dissipate immediately once they die or are trapped. So I don’t believe anyone can do it.” Dumbledore said without any modesty.
Alas, these are troubled times, Dumbledore sighed deeply.
Chapter 29: Aftermath (Old Version)
Murphy didn’t get up early, and the reason was very simple. When he went to bed, the eastern sky was already filled with orange-red morning glow.
When he arrived at the auditorium, it was already filled with noisy students and professors with serious faces.
“Ding!” Suddenly a crisp sound came from the professor’s seat. Dumbledore was looking at the little wizards in the audience with a serious face.
“Everyone, please be quiet. There are some things I need to emphasize to you again.”
After hearing what Dumbledore said, all the students fell silent, looking eagerly at the professor’s seat.
“What I want to say is that all students are absolutely not allowed to wander around the castle after the lights are turned off at night! From today on, there will be two professors on guard in the castle every night. If they catch any wandering little wizards, they will be severely punished!”
Hearing Dumbledore’s words, the students suddenly started to make a lot of noise.
“When will it end?” a Gryffindor student suddenly shouted.
“I will tell you exactly when it will end,” Dumbledore said calmly.
“Is it because Dementors appeared in the school?” Suddenly a voice came from somewhere, and the whole auditorium became silent.
“I can’t tell you the reason, but I can tell you that Hogwarts is still the safest place in Britain, and I will be responsible for the safety of my students!” Dumbledore left immediately after he said this, and several other deans also walked out of the hall one after another.
At this time, the unrestrained students were completely excited and discussed nonstop.
Among them, the students who were frightened by Murphy last night naturally became the focus of discussion, and a circle of people gathered around each of them.
“It’s almost two meters tall and it’s emitting light all over. It’s really scary.” A young Hufflepuff wizard said with horror on his face. Murphy still remembered this man. He had indeed seen him yesterday, but his patronus didn’t glow.
“It has two heads, one that breathes fire, and one that breathes poison gas!”
“It has to be as tall as a building, with two rows of teeth like a saw!”
There were more and more strange things, and were they talking about Dementors?
As for Murphy, after just coming in, he was still excited about his ever-increasing emotional value, but he never expected that Dumbledore would actually cause trouble!
After hearing Dumbledore’s decision, the breakfast in front of him suddenly no longer smelled good. If this continued, wouldn’t he be missing an important source of emotional value?
To be honest, he really didn’t understand why Dumbledore did this. It was really wrong.
After all, doing so would make Hogwarts more orderly, and although this was a good thing, it would not be conducive to Quirrell’s ability to fish in troubled waters.
Murphy scratched his head irritably, tore off a piece of toast blankly and put it in his mouth, then took a big gulp of milk.
He had originally planned to let his patronus visit the dormitories of various colleges one by one over the next few nights, but now he had to put his plan on hold for the time being.
After all, if he did this at this time, Murphy was worried that Dumbledore would take more radical actions, such as asking the students to go home temporarily.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t be able to cry at all.
What should be done? Murphy pulled his hair painfully, wondering what he should do to make Dumbledore understand that this Dementor was actually harmless and just wanted to scare the students.
While Murphy was still pondering, Dumbledore and the four deans gathered again in the Hogwarts headmaster’s office.
In addition to the five people from Hogwarts, two people from the Ministry of Magic also appeared here.
They are Fudge, Minister of Magic, and Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
“Bones, have the guards of Azkaban reported to you?” Minister Fudge asked seriously.
“It has been reported. They are sure that the Dementors in Azkaban have not gone out in the past month.” Bones answered seriously. After that, she probably felt that it was not enough so she quickly added.
“After what happened last time, I specially arranged personnel to be stationed on the nearby islands. They did not interfere with the normal operation of Azkaban, but only detected the movements of the Dementors. They also confirmed this to me. I believe that the Dementors in Hogwarts could not have come from Azkaban.”
Dumbledore nodded silently, and Minister Fudge looked very satisfied. He first nodded to Bones, indicating that she had done a good job, and then turned to Dumbledore and said.
“Albus, why don’t you arrange for some Aurors who are good at the Patronus Charm to come here.”
Hearing Fudge’s words, Bones’ mouth twitched immediately. The Patronus Charm is not an easy task, it is a very advanced white magic. Except for a few old men who could not be commanded at all, all the Aurors who were good at this spell were in Azkaban, and it was impossible to transfer people from there.
“Thank you for your kindness, Cornelius, but it’s not necessary. I believe the professors at Hogwarts are capable of protecting this place.” Dumbledore waved his hand to reject Minister Fudge’s proposal.
“Okay, we have finished discussing everything that needs to be discussed. Thank you both for coming here. The Ministry of Magic should still have a lot of things to do right now, so I won’t delay your work.”
After hearing what Dumbledore said, although Minister Fudge was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not dare to say much at this time. He could only exchange a few polite words with Dumbledore, and then left with Bones.
“Albus, Dementors only breed in Azkaban. If they didn’t come from there, where else could they have come from? Are they…” Professor McGonagall hesitated to speak.
“No, Minerva, there is no need for the Ministry of Magic to hide anything from us. I believe their report is correct. This Dementor did not come from Azkaban.” Dumbledore frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Would that be related to…” Professor McGonagall seemed to have thought of something. She first glanced at Snape, and then was about to say something when she was interrupted by Dumbledore.
“I know what you are going to say. I will verify it over there. Now you guys can make some arrangements and see how to arrange the professors to keep watch at night.” Dumbledore said as he winked at Snape, and Snape nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Chapter 30: Quirrell’s Sudden Appearance (Old Version)
In the next few days, as time passed, the students were no longer interested in Dementors, which resulted in Murphy’s daily income decreasing.
Although the students stopped discussing, the professors did not let down their guard, and two professors kept watch every day.
It was another night, and Murphy looked at today’s earnings, which had dropped to less than 100 sentiment points!
Murphy was becoming more and more impatient about this situation, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t just run up to Dumbledore and tell him that the Dementor was his patronus and that it was harmless.
Thinking of this, Murphy suddenly felt a pain in his head. He knocked his head helplessly and sighed deeply.
Really, I don’t know if overusing my brain will cause hair loss. I’m still young, what if I don’t grow taller?
Murphy stretched out his hand and looked at his delicate fingers with regret.
In less than a moment, he suddenly sat up from the bed.
That’s not right. I am a child now, a child!
How can children solve everything by themselves? Even if they don’t have parents, they still have teachers. Why can’t they go to teachers when they have problems?
At this time, Murphy finally realized that although he had traveled to this world and became a child, his way of thinking was still that of the original world. He always believed that he had to solve all problems by himself.
He actually forgot that besides the system and knowing the direction of the plot, he had another advantage, which was that he was just a student, a first-year student who had just been rescued from Azkaban by Dumbledore!
As a celebrity once said, he’s just a kid!
And Merlin will forgive the child if he makes a mistake!
Thinking of this, Murphy couldn’t bear it any longer. He jumped off the bed and paced back and forth in the dormitory, wondering if there was anything wrong with his logic.
At the same time, he unconsciously summoned his patronus.
Looking at the silver Dementor that looked like the Western god of death, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right.
That’s right, it’s just a child. Look at his height, his hands and feet, and…
Looking at the child in front of him, Murphy was startled, then blinked violently, and the silver Dementor appeared in front of him again.
Is this an illusion? No, it’s definitely not an illusion!
I definitely saw myself just now, from that perspective.
Murphy looked around his room, and soon he locked onto the patronus, the Dementor, floating in the air. Could it be this?
However, in his previous life, he had never seen anything about transferring one’s consciousness into the body of a guardian angel, whether on the Internet or in any other novels.
Murphy stared closely at the patronus in front of him, muttering silently in his heart, asking himself to control the patronus. After a moment, his perspective changed again. The boy who was standing there stupidly but had delicate features and a handsome appearance should be his own body.
Murphy controlled the patronus to float lightly in the air, then looked at the wall hesitantly, and then rushed over resolutely.
There was no obstruction at all, as if what was in front of him was not a wall, but air.
No, I can’t go on. Murphy forced himself to suppress the urge to continue wandering and returned to his dormitory. With a slight movement in his heart, his consciousness returned to his body.
After returning to his body, he moved his hands and feet, and after making sure there was no problem, he pushed the door and walked out.
There is plenty of time to explore the ability to possess a Patronus. The biggest problem now is to get Dumbledore to lift the ban and allow students to continue their night outings!
Although it was still early, there was no one in the common room. All the students had returned to their dormitories, so Murphy walked straight through the common room and left the dormitory.
Looking at the empty corridor, Murphy walked towards Snape’s office and shook his head secretly. A Hogwarts without night walks is not a good Hogwarts!
Boom boom boom!
After arriving outside Snape’s office, Murphy knocked on the door gently and then waited quietly.
No one? Murphy knocked on the door again, but still got no response.
“Mr. Dis, it’s already night. Why are you wandering outside instead of staying in your dormitory?” Suddenly a cold voice sounded behind Murphy.
“Professor Quirrell!” Murphy turned around suddenly and saw Quirrell standing not far away.
In the flickering firelight, Murphy vaguely saw that Professor Quirrell’s eyes were empty and lifeless. Combined with his words without stuttering, he was about to break out in a cold sweat.
“Professor Quirrell, good evening. I’m here to look for Professor Snape, but it looks like he’s not in his office. Maybe I should go back and look for him tomorrow.” Murphy said as he glanced at the empty corridor behind him.
Although he thought that Voldemort would not cause trouble in Hogwarts Castle, as Dumbledore was still there, who could be 100% sure? After all, Voldemort was insane!
“Looking for Professor Snape? Is there something wrong? Tell me and let me answer you. Just like last time, I will definitely give you a suitable answer.” Quirrell sneered twice, then approached Murphy step by step.
Scream, no one will respond even if you scream your throat out. Suddenly, a strange picture appeared in Murphy’s mind. He quickly shook his head to get rid of the picture. At the same time, the magic wand appeared silently in his hand under his robe and quietly pointed at Quirrell opposite him.
“No, no, no, Dis, you shouldn’t point your wand at your professor. It’s a very impolite behavior.” Quirrell looked at Murphy jokingly.
“Magic wand? How is that possible? Professor, are you dazzled? Yes, it’s normal that you can’t see clearly at your age.” Murphy raised his hands, and there was nothing in his palms.
Although there was no expression on Quirrell’s face at this time, Murphy could feel that his emotional level had fluctuated, but it still had not reached the standard to activate the [Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse]. At least the system did not prompt him.
“By the way, Professor Quirrell, why are you still outside so late? Oh, by the way, you are going to follow Professor Dumbledore’s instructions and keep watch, right?”
“Hmph, Dumbledore…” Although Quirrell was still under control, an angry look appeared on his face.
Chapter 31: Ways to Break the Stalemate (Old Version)
[Detecting a change in the other party’s emotional value, whether to activate the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse! ]Murphy looked at the system prompt that suddenly popped up in front of him and relaxed a little.
He also understood that the situation was still urgent. After all, he had provoked the other party’s emotions, and there was not much room for recovery. However, he couldn’t just stupidly confront Voldemort (like Quirrell).
“I think you’d better call him Professor Dumbledore. Why don’t you even want to call him Professor, Quirrell?”
At this critical moment, Snape’s cold voice floated over from the stairs.
The moment he heard Snape’s voice, Quirrell stopped moving forward. He looked at Murphy deeply, then suddenly trembled, and a ray of divine light flashed in his lifeless eyes.
“Ah, you, what did you say?” The familiar Quirrell came back.
At this time, Quirrell was very panicked. Although he could not control his body just now, he knew everything that happened.
So he couldn’t help but panic, and now he’s still a little unhappy. Why did you use my body and then run away? Now you have to solve it yourself!
“It’s nothing, Professor.” Seeing the panic in Quirrell’s eyes, Murphy did not choose to stand idly by, nor did he add insult to injury. Instead, he took the initiative to excuse him.
“I went to your office just now to look for you, but unfortunately you were not there. Professor Quirrell happened to be passing by, and he came over to ask me what I was doing.”
Hearing Murphy’s words, Snape frowned immediately, but he did not respond to Murphy. Instead, he continued to speak to Quirrell.
“Qiluo, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to stay in the hallway?”
“Filch said he was there, so I walked around a little and came downstairs when I heard the noise downstairs.” Quirrell answered timidly.
“If there is nothing, then I will go upstairs first. Mr. Dee, you’d better listen to Professor Dumbledore and don’t walk around at night. Otherwise…”
“Okay, Quirrell, I think I’m the headmaster of Slaterlin, and he’s here to see me, so stop talking nonsense there!” Listening to Quirrell’s stammering words, Snape interrupted him impatiently.
But Quirrell was not angry. He was afraid of Snape like a student. He walked upstairs without saying a word, and took the initiative to avoid Snape when he passed by him.
“Okay, now can you tell me what happened just now?” Snape looked at Murphy and said as Quirrell’s figure disappeared on the stairs.
“What’s the matter? Nothing happened.” Murphy chose to continue playing dumb.
In fact, whether it is Voldemort or Dumbledore, they are almost the same for Murphy. The only difference is that Dumbledore is more lawful, while Voldemort is more chaotic.
And Murphy still feels very good about the current situation. Both sides regard each other as their lifelong enemy, and their fighting point is Harry Potter.
“Since you don’t want to say, I won’t ask. But you’d better understand that Quirrell is not a simple guy. It will not be good for you to have too much contact with him.” Although he came here very early and heard the conversation between the two, he did not ask questions and simply skipped it.
“Then tell me why you came to me for work.” Snape looked at Murphy calmly.
Murphy neither said anything nor responded, but directly summoned out his patronus.
Looking at the Dementor in front of him with silver light, Snape’s calmness was immediately broken. He widened his eyes, and although he opened his mouth slightly, no sound came out.
A moment later, the two of them came to the principal’s office on the eighth floor through the entrance on the third floor.
After seeing Murphy’s presentation, Dumbledore’s eyes suddenly burst into a huge desire for knowledge. After looking at it carefully, he said in an incredible tone.
“T-This is a Patronus? A Patronus that looks like a Dementor?”
“How is this possible? The Patronus Charm is not something a first-year student can master, and Murphy hasn’t even cast the spell, nor used his wand. A first-year student from a Muggle family can cast the Patronus without a wand or spell. This is impossible!” Snape didn’t know how to express himself, and could only firmly deny it.
“No, Severus, this is a patronus!” Dumbledore said firmly. After that, he looked at Murphy, and Snape also looked at him.
“Don’t look at me. I don’t know what the Patronus Charm is. I only know that he was summoned by me, but he doesn’t completely listen to me. He seems to have his own consciousness.” Murphy said.
“Has its own consciousness?” Dumbledore’s expression instantly became serious when he heard Murphy’s words. You know, in the magical world, all things with self-awareness are full of dangers.
Looking at Dumbledore’s expression, Murphy realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he quickly added some explanation.
“In fact, it can’t be said to be self-aware. It seems to be just like Peeves, always liking to scare people.”
“So, the farce that night was all because of you, because of this?”
“You can say it is, but you can’t say it is completely, but it is true after all.” Murphy wanted to deny it, but now that he had said this, it seemed there was nothing to deny.
“Then do you know what other abilities it has?” Snape asked.
“It can grow bigger or smaller, and it can glow. I don’t know anything else.” Murphy revealed a little.
“When did you find out?” Snape continued.
“It was the night before yesterday. I couldn’t sleep so I went out for a walk, and before I knew it I ended up in the trophy room…” Murphy took the initiative to tell the story of that night, including the duel between Harry and Malfoy, but it was slightly edited by Filch.
“I was so nervous at the time that I thought if something suddenly appeared to scare him, I could take the opportunity to escape. This thing suddenly appeared and helped me scare Filch away.”
“Since you have scared Filch away, why don’t you go back to the dormitory?” Dumbledore asked.
“I wanted to go back, but it didn’t agree. Although it couldn’t speak, I could feel that it didn’t want to go back, so I followed it. Who would have thought that it would specifically look for students, and after finding them, it would just suddenly appear and scare them, and then move on to look for the next one.”
After listening to Murphy’s words, Dumbledore and Snape were speechless. What kind of monster is this? He actually likes to scare students. Is he really the same as Peeves?
Chapter 32 Hermione Asks for Advice (Old Version)
“Severus, do you think this has something to do with his experience and bloodline?” Dumbledore looked at Murphy’s departing back, pondered for a moment, and then asked Snape.
“Apart from this, I can’t think of any other reason. An Obscurial who did not die in the Obscurus outbreak, his ancestor was the creator of Azkaban. There are too many mysteries about him.” Snape sighed.
Just now, Dumbledore and Snape had questioned Murphy in great detail, and Murphy only answered briefly about what he could. For those he could not answer or that were difficult to explain, he perfectly blocked everything with the word “I don’t know”.
That’s right, this is Murphy’s solution! From the current point of view, the effect is still relatively good. At least Dumbledore did not cut Murphy in half to study him. As for the origin of the original body, since even Murphy could find out something, let alone Dumbledore.
“Yes, there are so many mysteries surrounding him. By the way, you just said that you heard his conversation with Quirrell?” Dumbledore asked solemnly.
“I heard some things. Quirrell was also very interested in him.” Snape said after recalling.
“We can’t let them have any more contact. Murphy is still a young wizard, and his concepts haven’t been fully formed yet. Plus there’s a mystery surrounding him, so we must not let Quirrell lead him astray!” Dumbledore said in a firm tone.
“Then should we take action against Quirrell?” asked Snape.
“No, now we only know that Quirrell might be a Death Eater, but without any substantial evidence, there is no way to catch him. Also, we don’t know if he has any accomplices. An open enemy is much easier to deal with than a covert enemy.” Dumbledore rejected Snape’s proposal, and for some unknown reason, he did not expose Quirrell’s biggest problem.
“Now you just need to keep a good eye on Quirrell and prevent him from having too much contact with Murphy.”
After leaving Dumbledore’s office, Murphy returned to his dormitory. Seeing that it was still early, he didn’t feel like sleeping, so he began to study his patronus.
Now it is certain that this guardian angel can take on one’s will, and during this period, one’s body will have no consciousness.
Also, when your consciousness is inside the body of the patronus, you can control the patronus to move around. The distance it moves has not been detected yet. You can also control the light on the patronus and make it bigger or smaller. When it is big, it can grow to be almost as tall as Fluffy (the three-headed dog), and when it is small, it is about the size of a magic wand.
In addition, there is the duration of possession. Although he did not conduct an extreme test, judging from the remaining magic power after returning to his original body, it is almost the same as the time he can maintain the Patronus Spell.
In the following days, Murphy did not continue to do anything weird. He attended classes normally during the day and read magic books borrowed from the library in his dormitory at night. Now he was just waiting for Dumbledore to issue new orders.
As for Quirrell, after their last exchange, Murphy never spent time alone with him again, and in every Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he still spoke haltingly and read lamely from the script.
In the Transfiguration class, Murphy shined. Ever since Voldemort’s last explanation, he seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians. No matter what Professor McGonagall asked him to do, he could do it easily without any difficulty.
“Perfect, Mr. Deeds! Five points for Slytherin!” Professor McGonagall said with satisfaction as she picked up the button-turned-coin on the table in front of Murphy.
“Professor, I think the transformation of non-living things is really not difficult. I wonder if you can teach something more difficult.” As soon as Murphy finished speaking, all the students in the classroom looked over.
If it wasn’t for the fact that it was class time, they really, really wanted to beat this show-off to death!
The only exception is Hermione Granger. As a top student, she has not yet completed the transformation from a matchstick to a silver needle. All she can do now is what Murphy did in the first class, which is to have the form but not the substance.
“Mr. Dees, I know the current course may be a little simple for you, but you have to understand that not all students have your talent, and I have to take care of the progress of most people in class. Otherwise, you can try to teach your classmates. I believe that in the process of teaching, you will be able to gain more experience and improve your Transfiguration.”
After saying this, Professor McGonagall was touched when she saw Murphy’s disappointed look. She hesitated for a moment, but still spoke to Murphy.
“Well, Mr. Dees, if you are very interested in Transfiguration, then come to my office after the third class this afternoon.”
“Of course I’m interested, professor. Don’t worry, I will arrive on time!” Murphy replied immediately.
Professor McGonagall nodded in satisfaction, then after sighing for a while, she rushed towards Neville angrily. It turned out that Neville’s buttons were burning for some reason, and thick smoke was coming out.
After the Transfiguration class, Murphy saw that there was still one class left until the third period, so he went straight to the library, intending to return the books he had already read and find some new books to read.
Just when he randomly picked up a few books that looked interesting and was planning to kill time in the library, the arrival of an uninvited guest interrupted his plans.
Madam Pince, who was eyeing him eagerly, also made him give up his plan of chatting in the library.
By the Black Lake, Murphy sat casually on the lawn, looking at the person in front of him and asked curiously.
“Mr. Granger, what do you want to talk to me about?”
Hermione bit her lip and opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say. She had always been an excellent student and had never asked others for help, especially her peers. If she hadn’t been unable to bear the progress of her Transfiguration class, she would not have come to Murphy.
“Are you wondering how I got started in Transfiguration?” Murphy looked at Hermione’s red face and didn’t want to tease her anymore, so he just said it directly.
“Actually, it was only after I consulted a professor that I changed my mind.” In order to prevent Hermione from asking Quirrell questions in the future, Murphy deliberately hid Quirrell’s name.
“Now let me tell you some of my understanding. First of all, you have to understand one thing, that is, magic has no conflict with what you have learned before!”
“How is that possible? All I’ve been exposed to before is science, science and magic…”
“Science and magic are not contradictory. Science is the essence of the Muggle world, and magic is the operating law of the wizarding world. We live in a world where magic and Muggles are intertwined. We cannot have only one point of view and one way of thinking. Magic is a way to expand our thinking.” Murphy interrupted Hermione and stated his own point of view directly, and Hermione fell silent after hearing it.
“Remember, since you have magic in your body, you must accept it and embrace it, then you will discover a more beautiful world!”
After Murphy finished speaking, he took out a match from his bracelet and threw it towards the lake. The match had turned into a paper airplane when it left Murphy’s hand.
Looking at the graceful curve drawn by the paper airplane, Hermione’s eyes lit up.
In the nearby Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore was standing at the window, watching everything that was happening here with a smile on his face. It was this scene in front of him that made him feel that what he wanted to protect was worth it.
Chapter 33: Charms (Old Edition)
After teaching Hermione, Murphy returned to Hogwarts Castle and knocked on Professor McGonagall’s door on time.
“Mr. Dees, I want to confirm now, are you really interested in the Transfiguration class?” Professor McGonagall asked seriously.
“Yes, professor, I can be sure that what I am most interested in here is the Transfiguration class.” Murphy said sincerely. After all, there is no Snape here, so the Potions class will be postponed.
“Very good.” Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction and continued to speak to Murphy.
“It’s like this. You may not know that I have organized a Transfiguration Club in Hogwarts. It recruits students who are interested in Transfiguration. Of course, they are also required to have some talent.”
Having said that, Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“Normally, I invite students who are only in the third year to this club. After all, you will only be exposed to the knowledge related to Animagus in the third year. After all, in addition to exchanging some of the latest research directions of Transfiguration, this club is mainly about learning Animagus. By the way, do you know Animagus?”
“Of course I know, Professor. I’ve seen this in the library. It’s an advanced form of transfiguration that allows wizards to transform into some special animals.” Murphy replied immediately.
“That’s right, it’s good for you to know. I think you will have great talent in Transfiguration and Animagus. Now I ask you seriously, are you willing to join my club?” Professor McGonagall asked seriously.
“Of course, professor. It’s my honor to receive your invitation!” Murphy said without hesitation.
“That’s great. Next Saturday afternoon, I will organize the first party of this school year in the Transfiguration classroom. You should prepare in advance and share your insights and experiences on Transfiguration with everyone at the party. Of course, you can ask me if you have any questions.” Professor McGonagall added.
“Don’t be nervous. Although you have a high talent in Transfiguration, it’s still early for you to get started with Transfiguration. So just express your feelings.”
“Don’t worry, professor, I will never embarrass you!” Murphy vowed.
Looking at Murphy’s sincere expression, Professor McGonagall had the illusion for the first time that it would be nice if Murphy was in Gryffindor.
As time passed, Murphy continued his study at Hogwarts step by step.
Going to classes, library, eating, sleeping, and so on, although it is a bit busy, he feels particularly fulfilled and even thinks that it would be a good choice if he could continue like this.
However, every Defense Against the Dark Arts class reminded him that if he could not improve himself as soon as possible, he would be nothing more than cannon fodder in the future.
As for the curfew, it is still being strictly enforced, but the dissatisfaction is now growing louder and louder, and it seems that it can no longer be suppressed.
The reason was very simple. The Quidditch game was about to begin. All four colleges were recruiting new players, and there was no time to train them during the day.
So not only the students, but even Quidditch enthusiasts like Professor McGonagall began to suggest to Dumbledore that the evening curfew be cancelled.
Soon it was Halloween Eve, and the smell of roasted pumpkin filled the entire Hogwarts Castle.
Murphy felt really baffled by this so-called festival. If it was just a group of believers, it would be fine, but as wizards who had been persecuted by religion, how could they celebrate the enemy’s festival? Is this cultural invasion?
Except for Murphy, all other students were immersed in the festive atmosphere, and even the professor began to let himself go.
In the last Charms class before the dinner, Professor Flitwick, faced with the extremely lively classroom environment, had no plans to restrain himself at all. He even took the initiative to discuss with Murphy, who was the first to complete the levitation spell, what to wear in the evening.
“By the way, professor, what spell should I use if I want to fix myself to an object?” Murphy suddenly thought of the previous sword flying experiment, interrupted Professor Flitwick’s fantasy of dressing himself up as a giant, and asked quickly.
“Fixed on one thing? What a strange idea. If you don’t mind, you can use the permanent sticking spell. This is definitely the most reliable, but it is a little difficult to separate.” Professor Flitwick saw Murphy’s expression and immediately understood that he minded. Without any pause, he continued.
“In fact, most of the spells nowadays are composite. For example, this permanent sticking spell is actually composed of two parts. One is the sticking spell, and the spell before it is to strengthen the sticking spell. If you don’t want it to be so powerful, you can just use the sticking spell.”
Professor Flitwick said as he waved his wand at the feathers on the table and gave Murphy a look.
After receiving it, Murphy stretched out his hand and plucked a feather, but it did not move at all. He raised both hands, still motionless.
Professor Flitwick tapped the feather with his wand again, and before Murphy could pick it up, the feather was blown by the current of air.
It has to be said that Professor Flitwick’s small body contains enormous wisdom. Murphy quickly asked him about the magic questions he had accumulated during this period of time.
Soon the class was over, and when the bell rang, Murphy was still asking Professor Flitwick questions tirelessly.
“Professor, if we want to reduce the impact of gravity acceleration, what kind of magic should we use?”
“Child, the world of magic is full of wisdom. Often a small spell can solve many problems. You should not just ask me questions, but use your own brain and think carefully.” Professor Flitwick felt some pain in his head at this time.
Merlin, who knows what that gravitational acceleration is!
“Okay, now the time is almost up. Think about it first, and then come to me to ask questions when you have time. But it is also necessary to combine work and rest. Today is Halloween Eve. You should feel the festive atmosphere and relax. This will be more conducive to your thinking.”
After saying this, Professor Flitwick disappeared in a flash, leaving behind Murphy, whose thirst for knowledge was about to explode.
Chapter 34: Halloween Dinner (Old Version)
Murphy, who had not felt anything before, couldn’t help but feel a hint of the festive atmosphere after entering the auditorium.
Not to mention the colorful Halloween decorations, the candles deliberately covered with pumpkin lampshades, and even less the fancy costumes of the professors and students.
Just by looking at the dark cloud-like swarm of bats in the auditorium, Murphy felt the festive atmosphere of Halloween more and more deeply.
While carefully watching the hundreds of bats above his head, he dodged left and right and came to the Slytherin table. After sitting down, he suddenly realized that it seemed that he had to eat this meal!
Just as he was considering whether to leave the hall, Dumbledore stood up from the professor’s seat.
“After the school’s investigation, there are no safety issues at Hogwarts, and the professors have a heavy workload every day, so the professors’ night watch is cancelled.”
“Of course, students are not allowed to wander around the castle after the lights are turned off at night. Our Mr. Filch will continue with his work. If you are caught by him, you will be on your own.”
Listening to Dumbledore’s words, Murphy silently counted YEAR in his heart!
Finally, what he had been waiting for came to pass, and a feeling of refreshment instantly swept over his whole body.
Murphy glanced around the hall, pausing in particular to notice the excited figures of the Gryffindors.
Smile, I hope your smile can last longer!
Hmm, that’s not right, it seems like someone is missing!
By the way, it seems like something good is going to happen today.
After thinking it over again and again, Murphy decided not to leave for the time being. After all, although it was a bit disgusting, it was still necessary to eat the melon.
In fact, Murphy knew in his heart that those bats flying aimlessly above his head were not real creatures. If they were real bats, they would have rained poop long ago.
These are all magical effects, just like the projector, but they are not disgusting.
So Murphy, contrary to his usual behavior, did not take the meat on the table, but just took a glass of pumpkin juice and drank it slowly.
One cup, two cups, three cups.
After finishing the third cup, Murphy couldn’t help but burp. There was nothing he could do as he was already full from the pumpkin juice. Then, seeing that the dinner was already halfway through, he looked at the door of the auditorium countless times but there was still no sign of it opening.
What’s going on? Did something go wrong?
That’s not right. Even if there are some changes from the original work, shouldn’t it have the ability to correct the world?
You have to know that what is going to happen tonight is a major event that will officially confirm the three protagonists. The ability to correct such a thing should be terrifyingly strong.
As Murphy was daydreaming, he couldn’t help but reach out to the table and pick up the only remaining glass of pumpkin juice.
“You, what are you doing? I saw this pie first.” A rough but cautious voice sounded.
“It’s Gore, don’t worry, I won’t compete with you.” Murphy said speechlessly as he looked at the short and clumsy Gore in front of him.
After hearing what Murphy said, Gore relaxed a little, but to be on the safe side, he ignored the pork chops in his mouth and took a big bite of the pie.
As soon as you take a bite, the black granular beef inside is revealed.
“Gore, as a classmate, I think I need to remind you that there is a bat droppings on that pie. You’d better not eat it.” Murphy’s eyes rolled, and then he said sincerely.
“Don’t think I’m stupid. I tell you, I’m smart. These bats are just illusions. How could there be feces?” Gore protected the pie with his hands, swallowed the food in his mouth, and retorted loudly.
“Yeah, most of these are illusions, but how do you know if there is a real bat mixed in? Besides, look at the pie, does it look like bat droppings? Don’t worry, I won’t take it even if you give it to me.” After Murphy finished speaking, he continued to look towards the gate, and this time he still looked at Goyle out of the corner of his eye.
After listening to Murphy’s words, Gore couldn’t help but look at the pie. For some reason, those lovely beef cubes suddenly seemed to have a different taste.
But Gore is Gore after all, how could he be bewitched by irrelevant people? Fortunately, he closed his eyes, made up his mind, and stuffed the whole pie into his mouth.
After stuffing it in, he didn’t even dare to chew it and just swallowed it raw.
Murphy, who had been paying attention to Gore’s arrival, was stunned by this scene. After he reacted, a sudden feeling of nausea surged up from his stomach. He used all his strength to barely suppress it.
This is a true warrior. With such brave subordinates like these, Malfoy will surely accomplish great things.
Just as Murphy was still sighing, the door of the auditorium was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Professor Quirrell of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class stumbled in from the door, and the entire auditorium fell silent in an instant, with everyone’s eyes fixed on this professor who looked even shabbier than ever.
Quirrell ignored the gazes of others. His eyes were firm as if he saw his own faith, and he walked towards Dumbledore without hesitation.
“The troll is in the basement. I, I thought you should know, Professor Dumbledore.”
As soon as he finished saying this, Quirrell fell asleep on the ground like a warrior who had completed some historical mission.
Because of the silence in the hall, his words were heard by every young wizard to the greatest extent possible. No matter if they were terrified, excited, or even some students just followed the trend, everyone screamed. George Weasley was even scared and jumped onto the table, screaming and beating his chest with his hands.
Just when Murphy was considering whether to join in the fun and shout a few times, Dumbledore finally spoke.
“Quiet!”
The huge sound echoed back and forth in the hall. All the students stopped and looked at Dumbledore, who had a calm face.
Chapter 35 Lost on the Road of Life (Old Version)
On Halloween Eve, the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle was decorated in gorgeous colors, but the atmosphere was unusually quiet.
Quirrell, professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, was lying alone on the cold floor. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but no one, whether students or professors, paid any attention to him.
“Now, the prefects of each academy, organize the students of the academy to return to the dormitory! Remember, no one can be left behind!”
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the male and female prefects of each college all took action quickly.
Slytherin was the fastest, and within a few minutes all the students had gathered together.
After confirming the number of people was correct, the two prefects asked Holferley for instructions, and then led everyone to the Slytherin common room.
Murphy was walking at the back, bored, when he saw Dumbledore, who seemed to have just discovered Quirrell, and was calling on the professor to help him.
Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were there, arm in arm, talking furtively about something.
The lobby, an important place connecting the auditorium to the main door, the basement and the stairs, was now blocked by the students pouring in, and Murphy could only move through the crowded crowd.
After experiencing a series of incidents such as having his feet stepped on and stepping on other people’s feet severely, he finally squeezed to the stairs leading to the basement.
Suddenly, a huge force attacked from behind him. Although there were a large number of students in front of him and he didn’t have to worry about rolling down, Murphy was still very unhappy. Without thinking, he directly hit back with a powerful elbow.
“Ouch…” A familiar scream sounded, but stopped halfway.
Hearing the shout, Murphy quickly jumped to the side a few steps so that he could see the man and avoid being discovered.
“Keep your voice down, Harry. If people know that we haven’t returned to the dormitory, we will definitely be deducted points.” Ron’s voice rang out as expected.
“Someone hit me just now and it hurts so much.” Harry explained quickly.
“Did you see who it was?” Ron asked in a low voice.
“I didn’t see him. He left, but the clothes he was wearing were Slytherin’s.” Harry said as he looked around.
“Slytherin? That must be Malfoy!” Ron said affirmatively.
“Malfoy? That shouldn’t be the case. I remember seeing him just now. He should be very far ahead.” Harry said after thinking for a while.
“Is Malfoy a Slytherin? Yes, right? Is the one who is bullying you a Slytherin? Yes, right? Then Malfoy can be considered the one who is bullying you.”
Listening to Ron’s words, Harry fell into an even more confused state, but he quickly adjusted himself.
“Well, even if it was Malfoy who did this to me, he’s really bad, I must get even with him!”
“That’s right.” Ron said in a teachable tone, “Forget it now, let’s get down to business. We’ll wait for the opportunity later.”
After listening to the conversation between the two, Murphy was completely speechless. He had originally planned not to continue participating, but after seeing the state of these two people, he was really worried.
Murphy walked downstairs hesitantly. When he reached the basement, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder.
“Dis, what happened?”
“It’s you, professor.” Murphy quietly put away the wand that had appeared in his hand, and then told Snape about the above situation.
“Quirrel? What does he want to do? Could it be…” Snape’s eyes lit up, then he let go of Murphy’s shoulders and prepared to go upstream, but before leaving, he specifically instructed Murphy.
“Dis, you better go back to the dormitory and don’t wander around.”
Looking at Snape’s leaving back, Murphy shrugged and walked resolutely towards the girls’ bathroom in the basement.
That’s right, it was Snape’s advice that helped him make up his mind. What a joke, does Murphy need other people’s advice?
After leaving the Slytherin group, Murphy followed the Hufflepuff group directly. The further he walked, the more he felt as if something was wrong. It was not until he saw the people in front had stopped that Murphy finally realized what was wrong.
He actually walked by! Murphy suddenly felt a stomachache.
He quickly turned around and ran back, and all the students he passed by looked at him in confusion.
“He’s from Slytherin, the one the Sorting Hat sent to Azkaban. Looks like he came to the wrong common room.” A student of an unknown grade suddenly spoke up, and all the Hufflepuffs immediately laughed.
Murphy felt his face burning from laughing, but he didn’t explain anything. The key point was that he couldn’t explain it!
After hurriedly leaving Hufflepuff, Murphy walked quickly along the corridor and soon came to a fork in the road.
At this time, there was no one in the underground corridor. Looking at the fork in the road, Murphy thought for a moment, and although he was not sure, he still turned around.
After walking just two steps, another intersection appeared.
Strange, why is there a fork in the road? Murphy looked at the fork in the road, his heart beating wildly.
Forget it, now that we are here, what else is there to say? Just keep working!
Murphy resolutely embarked on a new path.
After taking only two steps, Murphy collapsed when he saw the new intersection.
It’s so embarrassing, really so embarrassing. I am not worthy of being a time traveler. I actually achieved the achievement of getting lost in Hogwarts Castle!
Destroy it, let everything be destroyed. Perhaps letting Professor McGonagall turn herself into a map would also be a good choice.
Just when Murphy didn’t know what to do, a familiar voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
“Murphy? Why are you here?”
Murphy turned his head excitedly and saw Harry Potter and Ron Weasley looking at him.
“Me? I just lost my way in life. What about you? Why are you here? The Gryffindor common room is not in the basement.” Murphy said trying to save his dignity.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and knew that they could not hide the secret from Murphy at this time, so they simply told him that they were out looking for Hermione.
“So that’s how it is. I have to say you guys are really… Forget it, since we met each other it’s fate, I’ll go with you.” Murphy said without hesitation.
Chapter 36: The First Iron Law of Transfiguration (Old Edition)
In the basement of Hogwarts Castle, Murphy and the other two walked along the corridor for less than two minutes when suddenly a stale stench emanated from somewhere.
“It stinks, Ron, did you fart?” Harry covered his nose and jumped away from Ron.
“Hehehe!” Ron blushed and laughed awkwardly for a few times, then said embarrassedly, “I’m so sorry, I ate too many onions at the dinner party just now, and I accidentally released it just now.”
“But this taste is really good. If I get a chance, I’ll sit on Malfoy’s face and give him a taste of it!”
“Stop playing tricks, how can this smell be human…” Ron interrupted Murphy before he could finish his words.
“Why wasn’t it released by a human?”
Looking at Ron’s conflicted eyes, for some reason Murphy’s mind suddenly popped up the scene at the dinner just now when Goyle thought he was going to grab the pie.
You know what, the two people’s faces really are a bit similar!
“Listen, is there any movement?” At this moment, Harry spoke.
Just as Harry finished speaking, there was a sound of something being smashed and a girl’s scream.
“It’s Hermione!” the three shouted in unison.
After shouting, Murphy took the lead and ran towards the direction of the sound, followed closely by Harry and Ron.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the door of the women’s bathroom. If there was still a door, it would be convenient, at least they wouldn’t have to open it.
Murphy walked into the women’s bathroom through the smashed door frame, and before he had time to take a look, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
At this time, Hermione was hiding in a compartment, but the wooden board of the compartment had been smashed by the troll. She curled up on the ground and looked at the huge monster in front of her in horror.
At this moment, the giant monster looked at the little man on the ground, thinking of his life in captivity, and an invisible hostility rose from his heart.
The giant monster raised the wooden stick in his hand high and smashed it down with the momentum of destroying everything.
Am I going to die here today?
But, but I haven’t surpassed that hateful guy yet!
For some reason, when she was on the verge of death, Hermione’s mind emerged with the villain who looked good but had a smirk on his face.
I don’t know what that bad guy is doing now. Does he know that he is going to die soon? And what will he do if he knows? Will he be sad or not care at all?
It would be nice if that bad guy was here, right next to me, huh? Is this an illusion?
Hermione rubbed her eyes and clearly saw that the bad guy she had been thinking about appeared in front of her without her knowing when!
Just now, when Murphy saw Hermione was about to be crushed, he quickly took out his wand and cast a levitation spell on the wooden stick in the troll’s hand according to the situation in the original book.
“Wingardium Leviosa!”
The levitation spell immediately took effect, causing the heavily fallen wooden stick to float in the air.
After doing this, Murphy jumped directly onto a piece of broken wood beside him, and then chanted a series of spells, including the sticking spell, the armor spell, the levitation spell, and finally an explosion spell.
With a bang, he flew rapidly in front of Hermione, while Harry and Ron behind him were directly bounced away due to the reaction force.
When Murphy came in front of Hermione, before he could pretend to be angry, the troll had already broken free from the restraint of the levitation spell on the wooden stick and forced down again.
Seeing that the wooden stick was right in front of him, for some reason, or maybe he didn’t think about it at all, Murphy just pointed the wand at the wooden stick. When he pointed it, the image of the feather automatically appeared in his mind.
The wooden stick that was about to hit them instantly turned into a huge feather, lightly brushing past Murphy and Hermione.
However, due to inertia, after the wooden stick turned into feathers, the giant monster’s body as big as a mountain also smashed towards the two of them.
Murphy hugged Hermione and cast an explosive spell at the wall again. Under the impact of the reaction force, the two of them flew towards the door at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, Harry and Ron stood up again. As soon as they reached the door, they were knocked down by two figures.
There was no way. Murphy couldn’t master how to stop perfectly at this moment. He was lucky to be able to stop in front of Hermione.
“I say, can you two get down? I’m going to be crushed to death.” Harry said to Murphy on his body.
At this time, Murphy was holding Hermione on top, while Harry and Ron were lying under Murphy.
“I was wondering why it felt soft down there. Turns out it’s you, Harry. Oh, and Ron. You two are so brave. You actually took the initiative to sit under us. Are you afraid that we might get hurt?” After helping Hermione stand up, Murphy said to Harry and Ron with a grateful look on his face.
“I…, yes, we are here just to pick you up!” Ron covered his aching waist and said stubbornly with a pale face.
“Are you okay?” Harry asked hurriedly as he saw Ron covering his chest and abdomen with cold sweat dripping down his face.
“It’s nothing, probably just a broken rib.” Murphy saw what Ron’s problem was at a glance and pointed it out directly.
“Ah! My ribs are broken? Really? It hurts so much!” Ron shed tears at this moment.
“I don’t think now is the time to chat, look.” Hermione suddenly interrupted their conversation and shouted at the troll who shook his head and tried to stand up.
“Flying sand and rocks!” Murphy shouted at the wooden boards scattered on the ground around him while holding his wand.
Immediately, all the surrounding wooden boards floated up, and then rushed towards the giant monster with lightning speed.
A large amount of debris continued to hit the giant’s body.
However, this was of no use. The giant’s skin was extremely hard, and the fragments did not even leave any marks.
“This doesn’t seem to have any effect. Let’s run.” Harry gave his own pertinent advice after seeing the situation.
However, faced with this seemingly correct advice, Murphy ignored it and picked up the huge feather he had just pulled over.
With a pull and a shake, the feather turns into a baseball.
Although the giant monster did not receive any damage at this time, it was hit by endless fragments, which made it extremely irritated. It is said that it is not harmful, but extremely insulting!
The giant monster roared as it faced the wood chips.
At this moment, Murphy suddenly threw the baseball in his hand over, and it happened to go into the troll’s mouth. Feeling the object in his mouth, the troll swallowed it directly.
“Remember what Professor McGonagall said in the first class? What is the first iron rule of Transfiguration?” Murphy asked the three people with a smile.
“Transfiguration can’t transform food!” Hermione answered quickly.
“That’s right, it’s a pity that I can’t give Gryffindor extra points.” Murphy said, and regardless of Hermione’s struggle, he covered her eyes and snapped his fingers.
Chapter 37: The Rational Use of Transfiguration (Old Edition)
“Dis, is this how Transfiguration is used?” Professor McGonagall couldn’t hold back her excitement when she saw the scene in front of her. She forced herself not to vomit and turned to Murphy beside her and asked with gritted teeth.
“Professor, I have no choice. The troll’s magic resistance is too high. My spells don’t work at all. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Harry and the others. I’ve tried it too.” Murphy said helplessly.
“Yes, Professor, uh…” Harry was about to make a proof, but was made to vomit again by the scene in front of him.
At this time, the troll was lying quietly on the ground, and the small head that should have been on its neck had disappeared, replaced by a thick wooden stick. At the same time, a large amount of blood sprayed on the ground, and there were pieces of head fragments in the pool of blood.
Professor Snape stood there calmly, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
“It is indeed a very practical tactic, but Dis, have you never thought of using potions? The giant monster’s resistance is indeed very high, but many potions can knock it down.”
“Professor, I’ve thought about it, but I can’t make potions while fighting. Besides, even if I do, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a crucible on site.” Murphy said helplessly.
Hearing Murphy’s words, Snape showed a strange smile on his face, and he said to Murphy with a smile.
“It’s really my fault.”
When Murphy heard Snape’s words, he felt wet on his back. Snape must be planning something fishy if he said that.
“I should have asked you to make more potions. Don’t worry, starting from tomorrow, if not tonight, you have to make a potion every day.”
“Ah?” Murphy was also dumbfounded when he heard this. You know, most of the potions are extremely time-consuming to make. Wouldn’t it be… to make one every day?
“No, Professor, I…”
“Needless to say, according to Professor Dumbledore’s request, you should be in the dormitory now, but the fact is that you are here, so you will definitely be detained.”
“Professor Snape, it’s all because of me. He came to find me because of me.” Hermione, who had been stopped by Murphy behind her, could no longer stay there and shouted loudly.
“I thought I could deal with the troll. I’ve read about trolls in books, but I didn’t expect that I was no match for the troll. Murphy appeared here just to save me.”
Then Hermione told him everything that had just happened.
Snape couldn’t help but feel dazed as he watched Hermione anxiously recounting what happened. At that time, a Gryffindor girl also took the initiative to help him, but he…
Thinking of this, Snape couldn’t help but look at Harry beside him, or more precisely, at Harry’s green eyes. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The pain spread from the depths of my heart to every inch of my skin, as if being burned by a raging fire.
“Lily…” Snape murmured, but soon he came to his senses and looked at Hermione with pride.
“Make at least one advanced potion every week!”
After hearing Snape’s words, even Professor McGonagall couldn’t help but look at him a few times. When did Snape become so easy to talk to?
Professor McGonagall coughed and then spoke. After all, the matter was over, and as the deputy headmistress of Hogwarts, she had to give a summary of the matter.
“What a silly girl! How can a troll be a freshman? Well, Mr. Dees is just taking advantage of it. You must remember that if you encounter any situation at Hogwarts, you should come to the professor. The professor will ensure your safety!”
“Since what happened tonight has already happened, there must be some explanation, Hermione Granger. Because of your recklessness, I will deduct five points from Gryffindor! If you are not injured, you can go back now, so that you can catch up with the Halloween dinner held in the college!”
Professor McGonagall has always admired Hermione, the student version of herself. She is studious and has a strong sense of collective honor. She has added so many points to Gryffindor. In the past two days, she has made up for her only shortcoming and finally mastered Transfiguration. Although there is still some gap compared to Murphy, she is still much better than other students.
After hearing Professor McGonagall’s lecture, Hermione shook her head to indicate that she was not hurt at all, then glanced at Murphy and left.
But before leaving, she finally saw the tragic state of the giant monster among the people.
“vomit…..”
Hermione spat it out as soon as she left.
“She’s so disobedient. I just wanted her to stop watching.” Murphy shrugged helplessly.
“Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, although you have good intentions to help your classmates, you should also be careful about the methods. If Mr. Deeds had not come with you, I believe you three would be lying here now!” Professor McGonagall looked at the two elementary school scumbags with a cold face, but she finally gave in.
“In view of your brave performance, each of you will receive 3 points! You can go now!”
After hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Harry and Ron breathed a sigh of relief and ran away in a hurry.
“Finally, you, Mr. Dees, I know you are as good as your peers or even students in the second and third grades, but…”
Seeing that Professor McGonagall was about to educate him, Murphy hurriedly explained.
“Professor McGonagall, I didn’t mean to do that. I just accidentally got lost. Many Hufflepuff students can attest to that. I met Harry and the others on the way back.”
“Are you lost?” It would have been better if Murphy hadn’t said it, but as soon as he said it, Snape’s face turned strange.
“Professor McGonagall, Deeds is a Slytherin student. As the Head of Slytherin, I can do it!”
“Of course there is no problem, but Slytherin still gets five extra points,” said Professor McGonagall.
“As a Slytherin, you can’t even find your own house, Dis. Within a week, I want you to walk from the Slytherin common room to the Hufflepuff common room five times a day! I will let Malfoy watch you!” Professor Snape said coldly.
After saying that, the two professors and Murphy walked out together. As for the remaining mess, of course, it was left to Filch to deal with.
Chapter 38 Dumbledore’s On-site Investigation (Old Edition)
“Merlin, how could it be like this!” Filch, who had just come out of the school hospital, was stunned when he saw the appearance of the women’s bathroom in the basement.
He even suspected that the hallucinations were caused by the fact that he had not yet recovered from the shock he suffered in the school hospital a few days ago!
But reality is reality, no matter how much he rubs his eyes, this place will never become the same as before.
Feeling helpless and distressed, Filch hurriedly fetched a mop and a bucket from his workshop and began to clean, cursing as he did so.
“It must be some damn bastard who did this. I must find that person. No matter who he is, I must make him fall from the ceiling and give him an unforgettable memory!”
“Argus, thank you for your hard work.” Suddenly a kind voice sounded behind Filch.
“Mr. Headmaster, you are here. Look, this damn little bastard has messed this place up like this. This is Hogwarts Castle, the greatest school in Europe. You should expel him immediately!” Filch had gotten over his anger at this time. If it were usual times, he would never dare to talk to Dumbledore. After all, Dumbledore’s favoritism towards students was obvious to all.
“I know Argus, but as you can see, this was not caused by the students, it was the troll’s fault.” Dumbledore felt a little sorry for Filch, who was hunched over and cleaning on the ground, so he just said to him.
“You don’t have to clean here for now. Go call Hagrid over.”
After hearing what Dumbledore said, Filch was not glad that he had escaped from this hard job. Instead, he looked reluctant. But after all, this was the headmaster’s order, so he could only accept it helplessly.
Here we have to talk about Filch, that is, the identity of Argus Filch.
Filch is the gatekeeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His job is to be in charge of the gate of Hogwarts, closing it at night and opening it during the day.
In addition, he was also responsible for night watch and daily maintenance in the castle.
He has been working diligently all along, not daring to slack off for the slightest, simply because he really has nowhere else to go except Hogwarts.
As for the reason, it is very simple. He is a Squib. He was born in a wizard family, can see magical miracles, and is not affected by Muggle-Repelling Spells, but he just can’t learn any magic.
The status of a Squib in the wizarding world is definitely the lowest, and they are honored as Muggles among wizards.
Therefore, Filch cherished this hard-earned job very much, and he loved Hogwarts Castle very much, which made him very angry about any behavior that destroyed or even violated the Hogwarts system.
When the little wizards release their nature, they will inevitably do some extraordinary things, which puts him on the opposite side of the little wizards.
After seeing Filch leave, Dumbledore closed his eyes and began to walk around the ladies’ room.
Although he had his eyes closed, the places he moved in were very regular. If Murphy were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that Dumbledore’s actions were all in accordance with his trajectory.
“Interesting, it can move so fast, interesting, let me see what kind of magic it is.” Dumbledore said as he took out his wand and waved it in the air.
Immediately, a red light began to dance in the air.
“A levitation spell, then a half-permanent sticking spell? An armor spell, another levitation spell, an explosion spell, here, here should be a Transfiguration spell, another explosion spell…”
Although Dumbledore was not present at the scene at the time, he was able to reproduce all the spells used by Murphy without any error.
“The last one was a Transfiguration Spell. Even though it looked unsightly, it had to be said that the results were remarkable. He really is a natural born wizard,” said Dumbledore with emotion.
The spells used by Murphy were all very basic spells, but when combined, they produced very good results, especially the method of quick movement. Until now, Dumbledore still hasn’t figured out how he did it.
“Professor, did you call me?” Hagrid suddenly poked his head out and asked Dumbledore.
“Hagrid, please take the body of this troll away. I think the Forbidden Forest is its final resting place,” said Dumbledore.
“Troll? Oh, it really is a troll.” Looking at the huge headless corpse, Hagrid immediately recognized it. Without asking or refusing, he directly carried the corpse on his shoulders and left.
Hagrid is really a rare subordinate. Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, then waved his wand twice at the dilapidated room. Immediately, the decorations in the room floated up from the ground and were pieced back to their original appearance bit by bit. Even the blood on the ground flowed away through the underground pipes.
The whole room was exactly the same as before, as if nothing had happened.
Here I would like to explain why Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape did not restore this place?
Although Dumbledore’s magic power is indeed stronger than theirs, this level of restoration is not difficult for them. If they were in the outside world, they could easily repair even a room that was twice as big.
But this is Hogwarts, and in the entire Hogwarts Castle, the only person who can use magic on a large scale to repair rooms is the headmaster.
If anyone else wants to do this, they can only work with their bare hands. This is the rule of Hogwarts Castle.
After repairing the room, Dumbledore did not stay here for long, but walked out of the room and strolled casually in the corridor.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he soon strolled outside Snape’s office.
Dumbledore smiled and knocked on Snape’s office door.
“Dis, do you know it’s very late now?” Snape opened the door angrily. When he saw that it was Dumbledore standing outside, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face returned to an expressionless state.
“Albus, why are you here?”
“Why don’t you invite me in to sit down?” After seeing Snape make room for him, Dumbledore walked in without any hesitation.
“Is this Felicis?” Looking at the contents of the crucible on the table, Dumbledore immediately recognized it and asked Snape in confusion.
“Don’t you hate this kind of opportunistic things? Why did you refine this?”
“It’s just a potion! Are you here to ask about Quirrell?” Snape said calmly.
“He just happened to pass by. But since you mentioned him, tell me what you discovered tonight.” Dumbledore also restrained his expression and said seriously.
“I stopped him at the entrance of the school hospital. He said that he got a giant monster to decorate the room for you. He had imprisoned the giant monster in the Forbidden Forest. He wanted to release the giant monster tonight while all the students were celebrating Halloween in the auditorium, but he didn’t expect the giant monster to suddenly go crazy and lose control.”
“Help me decorate the room? What a good reason.” Although Dumbledore was smiling, a cold look flashed behind his half-moon glasses!
Chapter 39 Murphy’s Summary (Old Version)
When Murphy returned to the Slytherin common room, he found that although the students had been sent back to the common room, the dinner had not yet ended, and the house-elves had brought over the prepared food.
At this time, the Slytherins spontaneously formed small circles according to their social circles. Of course, the core ones must be the Holferlys sitting in the middle of the sofa.
“Murphy, you’re back. Would you like to come and sit for a while?” Holferly invited Murphy warmly when he saw him coming in from outside.
It was precisely because of his initiative to speak that everyone in the audience turned their attention to Murphy.
“You guys have fun. I’m a little tired now, so I’ll go back first.” Murphy was a little tired, but the most important thing was that he really didn’t want to hang out with these people, although his experience as an adult told him that integrating into the circle was really a very important thing.
But since I have traveled through time, why should I continue to do the same as before and force myself to do things that make me unhappy in order to improve myself?
And with the support of the system, Murphy will surely reach the top of wizards, so Murphy’s choices in this life are all his own, and he will never compromise himself.
Watching Murphy leave, Holferly smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Fley, he doesn’t give you any face at all.” A girl with silver hair and a pretty face said with a smile.
“I really don’t understand, Fry, why you want to lower your posture? Do you want to recruit that person to work for you? I believe that as long as you wave your hand, you can find a bunch of wizards.” Another boy with yellow hair, who looked a little arrogant, asked in confusion.
“Forget it, let’s not worry about him. Let’s continue with today’s dinner.” Fry smiled mysteriously and didn’t say much. He just raised the wine glass in his hand to several people.
After Murphy returned to his dormitory, he threw his body directly onto the bed and recalled the battle tonight.
The plan of flying with a sword is feasible. Although it is still inferior to Apparition, there is still a lot of room for operation in a place like Hogwarts where there are counter-spells. The next step is to train turning and stopping.
That’s right. In fact, Murphy didn’t take the troll seriously. He believed that if he had used the Shadowless Spell just now, the battle would have been resolved faster. However, that was a spell developed by Snape himself. As long as he used it, Snape would definitely be able to stop him. He didn’t want to reveal too much now.
As for the [Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse], Murphy was prompted to activate it as soon as he entered the system, but Murphy ultimately chose not to use it. Although it would definitely be very effective against this giant monster that had no self-control at all, Murphy still wanted to give it a try to see if he could develop more tactics of his own.
After summing up, Murphy was still very satisfied with his performance tonight, but he also agreed with Professor Snape’s remarks that it was time to make more potions. Anyway, he had a storage bracelet, which was very safe and reliable for both placement and use. This would also add a powerful and feasible plan to his combat system.
By the way, there are also some magic potions that can stimulate people’s emotions. If I use these magic potions, then my [Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse] will be invincible, right?
Thinking of this, Murphy waved his wand at several books about potions on the bookshelf, and immediately the books flew over.
Then he began to search for it. After searching for a while, he threw the potion book on the table in disappointment. Forget it, he decided to wait until tomorrow to ask Professor Snape.
But do you want to let your guardian angel go out for a walk tonight?
Murphy listened to the cheering sounds outside and finally gave up the plan. He was afraid that few students would go out for a night out tonight. After all, the Halloween dinner was moved to the lounge, so who would go out?
What if the patron saint appears in the lounge?
As soon as this thought appeared, Murphy suppressed it with all his might. Inside the castle, as long as the students were not harmed, Dumbledore could turn a blind eye.
If Murphy made the Patronus appear in the common room of any college, I believe Dumbledore would appear in his dormitory within a few minutes.
So I’ll let you go today, there will be plenty of time later!
Thinking of this, Murphy laughed out loud.
At the same time, in the Gryffindor common room, everyone was happily walking around with their plates in their hands, chatting with people they knew, and playing around happily.
After coming back, Hermione Granger declined the request of her roommate and went to a corner alone. Thinking about what had just happened and the feeling of suffocation when the wooden stick pressed on her, her heart was still pounding.
Of course, we can’t forget that damn guy, Murphy. I never thought that he has become so powerful now.
But when she thought of the way he held her and walked away from the troll, Hermione couldn’t help but be stunned.
Harry and Ron also returned to the dormitory at this time. After searching for a long time, they finally saw Hermione who was in a daze in the corner.
“Ron, go and apologize. Look, she’s still scared.” Harry said to Ron seriously.
Ron nodded, then took a deep breath and walked towards Hermione.
“Hermione, I, I know it’s all my fault tonight, I, I…” Ron came to Hermione, stuttering and unable to say anything.
Ron Weasley? What was he doing here? Hermione was a little confused. He was stuttering and trying to say something. Boys, they can’t even speak properly.
“Hermione, he just wants to apologize to you, right Ron!” Harry saw Hermione frowned and thought she was unhappy, so he quickly pulled Ron’s arm and said.
“Yes, yes, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said bad things about you. If I hadn’t said bad things about you, you wouldn’t have run to the bathroom crying…” Ron was interrupted by Hermione with a blushing face before he could finish his words.
“Who said I cried! How could I cry!” Hermione, who has been strong all her life, would never admit to such a shameful thing.
“I, I’m going to find the troll!”
“Forget it. I can’t explain it to you. And you don’t have to apologize. Even though you misunderstood me crying, since you came to find me, let it go.”
After saying that, Hermione and the other two looked at each other and laughed.
Chapter 40: Quidditch Pitch in the Morning (Old Edition)
Murphy crawled out of the dormitory early the next morning. There were basically no people on campus at that time.
After all, last night’s dinner had exhausted the little wizards’ energy, and today was Halloween and there were no classes, so the little wizards naturally chose to sleep a little longer.
After Murphy walked out of the castle through the gate, he thought for a while and did not choose to go to the Black Lake. Instead, he came to the Quidditch field alone.
The terrain here is open and there are no obstacles, so it naturally becomes the best place to practice sword flying.
In fact, it’s not just swords, anything can be done, but flying with a sword can be said to be the dream of any time travel enthusiast.
This time, Murphy did not change casually. After thinking hard, he made a decision.
Murphy took out a large wooden board from his bracelet and held it with both hands devoutly. A blue light flashed, and suddenly a huge two-handed sword appeared in his hands.
The blade of this giant sword is about as wide as an adult’s palm. The blade is deep black and even longer than Murphy’s current height. There are many complex runes and patterns carved on the hilt. The tip of the sword is glittering with ice crystal patterns.
Murphy looked at the giant sword in his hand with satisfaction. Although he had forgotten a few details, overall, anyone who had seen it would be able to recognize it at a glance. Yes, this was the famous ‘Filial Son Sword’ Frostmourne!
Murphy took out his magic wand, first cast a levitation spell on the giant sword, and then let go. Under the effect of the levitation spell, the giant sword stopped steadily beside him.
Murphy first lowered the height of the giant sword, then jumped directly on it. While shaking, he cast a sticking spell on his shoes and the giant sword, and then controlled the giant sword to float upwards.
After flying into the air, he cast the Armor Spell to block the airflow. When everything was ready, there was a loud bang, and Murphy flew forward rapidly.
It’s so interesting, it’s so interesting, Murphy shouted while flying in the air.
In the next half hour, Murphy kept trying to turn, stop suddenly, and other maneuvers.
While Murphy was still enjoying the joy of flying in the air, a group of people walked into the stadium with brooms.
“People from other colleges must have played late last night, so there would be no one here so early. We can take this opportunity to secretly practice tactics. During the holidays, I studied the flight routes of several professional teams…” Oliver Wood, captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, said excitedly.
“Yes, we can also let Harry practice with his new broom some more,” said Beater George Weasley.
“Yes, this is the Nimbus 2000, the latest model of broom. The England team uses this broom. As long as Harry can master it, the seekers from other colleges won’t be able to see its tail hair at all!” Beater Fred Weasley said excitedly, putting his arm around Harry’s shoulders.
“It’s mainly about coordination. We have to practice more. The training time this year is too short.” Chaser Angelina Johnson said.
“I will do my best…” Harry was about to express his determination to everyone, but he was immediately shocked by the situation in the air. He saw a figure flying freely in the air. What shocked Harry even more than his speed was that the man was actually standing!
“Look, which college is that guy from? Is he standing on the broom? Isn’t he afraid of falling down? Or do you all fly like this?” Harry’s confidence was disappearing little by little at this moment, and he didn’t dare to stand up on the broom!
“Merlin! Which school is this from? Isn’t it a bit too amazing!” Oliver Wood said in surprise, “Look, this is a deformed Wronsky fake move. I didn’t expect someone in Hogwarts could do that!”
In fact, just now Murphy felt that he was having too much fun and did not notice that his magic power was almost running out. He hurriedly flew down, and when he was halfway through the flight, a warning sound suddenly rang.
[Emotional value (surprise) +120 from Harry Potter! ][Emotion value (shock) +45 from George Weasley! ][Emotion value (shock) +45 from Fred Weasley! ][Emotion value (shock) +25 from Oliver Wood! ]Murphy’s highly concentrated mind was disturbed by the sudden prompt sound. He couldn’t help but check and found the Gryffindor people entering.
This moment made him fail to notice that he was almost stabbed into the ground. In a panic, he suddenly lifted the sword up a little. Although he was already flying upwards, he no longer had the magic power to maintain it.
In order to avoid falling directly to the ground, Murphy had no choice but to roll forward and land on his back. He endured the severe pain in his back and stood up. Then he picked up the wooden board that had returned to its original shape without the support of magic.
“Wow!!!” everyone shouted and ran over.
After running closer, Harry realized it was Murphy!
“Murphy, Murphy, how did you do that just now? You didn’t use a broom, you just flew with a piece of wood!” Harry’s eyes widened at this time.
[Emotional value (surprise) +200 from Harry Potter! ]Another wave of emotion points arrived! Harry Potter is worthy of being Harry Potter. Although Murphy is still in pain, the arrival of emotion points allows him to resist it completely.
“Harry? What are you doing? Oh, you are here to practice Quidditch, right? I’ll leave first and won’t disturb you anymore.” Murphy said and left quickly. He had to leave because he was afraid that he would scream out in pain.
“How could this happen?” Oliver Wood said somewhat frustratedly, “I didn’t expect Slytherin to have such a genius. If he also participated in Quidditch…”
After hearing his words, the other team members were also a little frustrated. After all, Murphy’s behavior just now was really appalling. He was so strong without using a broom. If he rode a broom again, they really didn’t know how to play.
“Murphy? Quidditch?” Harry looked at everyone’s expressions with some confusion. Oh, by the way, they didn’t know what Murphy thought of Quidditch.
“Don’t worry, Murphy won’t play Quidditch.” Harry said bluntly, “When I went to Diagon Alley with him to buy things for the start of school, he told me that he would never ride a broom. He also said that he was too big and was afraid of being hit by the broom.”
After that, Harry asked everyone curiously, “Do you know what he meant? He is not older than me, why did he get hurt when riding a broom?”
Chapter 41: Out of Control Murphy (Old Version)
Murphy returned to the auditorium and felt his brain was very dizzy. He had never tried to use up all of his magic power before, and he didn’t expect it to be so uncomfortable.
Murphy resisted the urge to vomit, picked up a cup of hot milk on the table, and drank it down in gulps.
However, the expected comfort did not come at all, and he still felt dizzy.
“Hey, the professor asked me to follow you from the Slytherin common room to the Hufflepuff common room!” Suddenly Malfoy’s voice came from the side.
“Shut up! Stay away from me!” Murphy felt that his condition seemed to be getting worse. From the dizziness just now, it had progressed to the point where he had a splitting headache. He reached out and knocked on his head.
“What did you say?” Malfoy asked in disbelief. No one in Slytherin had ever spoken to him like this. And if it wasn’t for Professor Snape’s request, why would he come to talk to Murphy, a person without identity!
Thinking of this, Malfoy even felt a little aggrieved.
“Do you think I want to talk to you? If it wasn’t for the godfather, oh, Professor Snape’s request, I wouldn’t be here!” Malfoy pretended to reveal something casually. After all, he knew something about Murphy’s strength. At least he was no match for that second-year student.
“Shut up! Shut up! I told you to shut up!” Murphy could no longer control himself at this point. He turned around and glared at Malfoy fiercely.
Malfoy wanted to say something, but when he saw Murphy’s bloodshot eyes, he was immediately frightened. He stared at Murphy in a daze, not knowing what to do.
When Murphy saw Malfoy still standing there, a surge of anger suddenly surged from his heart, and he activated the [Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse] without thinking.
[The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse is activated. Please select one of the opponent’s emotions to activate it. The emotion that has been detected to be activated is fear. The current opponent’s fear value is 35. The host’s level is level 1 of fear. The opponent’s fear value can be increased by 10 points. According to the opponent’s emotional value range below 40, it can be directly increased in full. Do you want to increase it! ]Murphy chose to upgrade without thinking. You know, if he had no magic power now, he would have pulled out his wand long ago!
Fear value increased [35→45]I have to explain here that it’s not that Malfoy’s emotion control ability is worse than Selwyn in the second grade, it’s simply because it’s still below the critical point of 50 after activation.
At this moment, in Malfoy’s vision, an inexplicable black smoke suddenly emanated from Murphy’s body and slowly surrounded him. At the same time, he inexplicably had a feeling that Murphy would kill him!
“Ah…!” A sharp scream suddenly rang out in Hogwarts Castle, and everyone immediately looked in the direction of the scream.
At the Slytherin dining table, Draco Malfoy, who was always so arrogant, fell to the ground for some reason. He was backing away in fear and screaming.
Soon the noise here alarmed the professors in the professorial seats. Snape stood up with a cold face and quickly came to Malfoy.
“Dis, you want to…”
“Wait, Severus, his condition is not right. Do you have a potion that can restore his magic power?” Dumbledore appeared beside Snape at some point. He saw Murphy’s condition at a glance and asked Snape hurriedly.
Snape was stunned, then he immediately realized the problem and quickly took out a bottle of potion from his body.
“You two, stop arguing! Get out of here!” Murphy’s irritation was growing stronger and stronger. Although he knew that the two people in front of him were people he couldn’t afford to offend right now, for some reason he felt that he couldn’t help himself any longer.
At this time, there was no other color in Murphy’s eye sockets. His two blood-red eyes stared fiercely at Dumbledore and Snape.
“It’s too late. I’ll take him to the office first. Come here quickly.” Dumbledore said only one sentence, then took a step forward and grabbed Murphy’s arm, and then the two of them disappeared into the air.
Snape rushed out of the hall directly.
The auditorium, which had been extremely silent, suddenly exploded and everyone started talking. One can only say that it is fortunate that there are less than one-third of the students here, otherwise they would definitely be able to blow up the ceiling of the auditorium.
“Be quiet and enjoy your breakfast.” Professor McGonagall couldn’t stand the noise any more. She yelled and left, taking Madam Pomfrey from the school hospital with her.
“Old man, you are looking for death!” After a twist, Murphy and Dumbledore appeared in the principal’s office.
Murphy, who had been feeling very uncomfortable, could no longer bear the feeling brought by the Apparition, so he raised his hand and waved at Dumbledore.
Duang!
Murphy’s fist stopped about two centimeters away from Dumbledore. At this time, an invisible shield protected Dumbledore.
“Little Murphy, you’re almost there now.” Dumbledore said with a smile, “Does your hand hurt? Don’t waste your energy.”
After hearing what Dumbledore said, Murphy became even more irritated, and the color of his eyes was no longer red, but turned into indigo.
Another punch came.
Dumbledore’s expression changed immediately. He looked at his Shield Charm in surprise and found that cracks had appeared on it. Although he did not use his full strength to cast the Shield Charm, it would be impossible for a little wizard, let alone a well-trained adult Muggle, to break it!
At this time, Murphy threw another straight punch. Dumbledore put another layer of Shield Charm on himself while carefully observing Murphy’s fist. Sure enough, he saw something strange on his fist.
Murphy’s fist was actually covered with an indigo halo similar to that of his eyes.
No, it can’t be stopped! Dumbledore’s intuition told him the moment before Murphy’s fist came into contact with Dumbledore’s Shield Charm.
As expected, the two layers of Iron Armor Spell were shattered by Murphy.
And just as he was about to hit Dumbledore, Dumbledore disappeared from the spot with a snap and appeared a few meters away from Murphy.
“Imprison him quickly!” A light rope as thick as a wrist shot out from Dumbledore’s wand and tied up Murphy in an instant.
Murphy, who was tied up, struggled desperately. At the same time, he felt as if something was coming out of his body, like a breath of air, which was getting more and more in his body, and his body seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
And then, then he really exploded!
With a loud bang, an indigo light burst out from his body and rushed directly to the sky above Hogwarts Castle, even making a hole in the clouds in the sky.
Chapter 42 The Godfather Still Loves Me (Old Version)
There are a total of eleven magic schools in the wizarding world, distributed all over the world.
The three most famous ones are in Europe, namely, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Britain, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Germany, and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France.
Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located in the Pyrenees Mountains in the south of France. The campus is famous for its beauty, and the entire school is surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers.
On the second floor of this beautiful campus, there is an office made of ancient oak. In the room, a female teacher with long flowing hair, an elegant figure and wearing a refined crimson purple robe is reading quietly.
The warm sunshine shines on her, and a painting of peaceful times and beautiful women is created.
At this moment, the female teacher seemed to sense something. She suddenly stood up, walked to the window, closed her eyes and felt it carefully.
After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, and a purple light flashed by.
“That seems to be the direction of Britain. Britain, could it be Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?” A delicate, soft and ethereal voice sounded like a flowing spring.
“It seems there is no need to waste time here. Hogwarts, I didn’t expect to be in Hogwarts!”
Thousands of miles away from here, in the principal’s office of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Dumbledore looked at the indigo light emitted by Murphy in surprise. Although he did not come into contact with it, Dumbledore could clearly sense how powerful this force was.
So he did not act rashly, but watched vigilantly from the side, waiting until the explosion ended, the light disappeared, and Murphy fainted on the ground.
“What’s going on?” Snape rushed in and looked at Murphy lying on the floor and the ceiling that was quickly recovering on its own.
“I don’t know either, but this child may have some deeper secrets, and he himself may not even know it.” Dumbledore said with emotion.
“Okay, feed him the potion first.”
Upon hearing this, Snape came directly to Murphy, squatted down, held up his head, and poured a bottle of blue liquid into Murphy’s mouth.
It was at this time that Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey also walked in from outside.
“Albus, what happened?” The same words came out of Professor McGonagall’s mouth again.
Dumbledore gave the same answer.
As for Madam Pomfrey, she knew very well the purpose of her visit and immediately came to Murphy to check on him.
After a long moment, Madam Pomfrey looked up at Dumbledore and shook her head.
“No hope?” Dumbledore couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
“What?” Madam Pomfrey was stunned, and then her face immediately turned ugly. “What do you mean there’s no hope? I mean he doesn’t have any problems. Not only that, he’s in too good a condition. Also, his magic seems to be a little off.”
Hearing what Madam Pomfrey said, Dumbledore hurried over, and a white light shot out from the tip of his wand, circled around Murphy’s body, and then returned to the wand.
“His magic power is now almost the same as that of an excellent fifth-grade student.”
Hearing Dumbledore’s words, Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall both looked surprised.
As for Dumbledore, he was a little disappointed. He was disappointed that he failed to detect the mysterious power that had just erupted. Could it be that it disappeared after the eruption?
The office fell silent after that, and after a moment, it was Madam Pomfrey who broke the silence.
“Although he is in good physical condition now, we can’t just let him lie on the ground forever. Let’s go to the ward first. He is still unconscious and I can take care of him.”
Dumbledore nodded, and then Snape took the initiative to go over and pick up Murphy.
There’s no way, after all he’s the head of Slytherin, who else can I hug if he doesn’t?
Soon Snape carried Murphy to the school hospital ward and placed him on the innermost bed.
Dumbledore and his companions followed behind.
After arriving at the ward, Madam Pomfrey checked again and left the ward after confirming that Murphy was indeed fine.
“Albus, what happened just now? What happened between Dis and Malfoy?” Although Professor McGonagall was asking Dumbledore, her eyes were on Snape.
“I don’t know either. When I got to them just now, I saw Malfoy was very, very frightened. He kept saying that Dis wanted to kill him.” Snape told what he had just seen.
“Severus, go and ask Mr. Malfoy what exactly happened.” Dumbledore said directly.
After hearing this, Snape left the ward without saying a word.
Soon he arrived at the Slytherin common room and brought Malfoy, who was still frightened, to his office.
“Draco, what exactly happened just now?” Snape asked.
“Godfather, it was that Dis just now. He wanted to attack me!” Malfoy immediately began to complain, “I went to find him as you requested, but who knew he would dare to scold me? I haven’t done anything yet, but he wants to kill me.”
“Did he mean to kill you? Tell the truth, Draco!” Snape demanded.
“Yes, well, it seems not. I just felt that he was very scary at that time and wanted to kill me!” Malfoy couldn’t help shivering as he spoke, and then asked with anticipation.
“By the way, Godfather, can you tell me how you helped me deal with him?”
“I dealt with him?” Snape was a little confused. How come he didn’t know that he had dealt with Dis?
“Just now, Crabbe told me that you had dealt with Dis, knocked him unconscious, and sent him to the school hospital.” Malfoy said excitedly. His godfather still loved him. He took the initiative to help him get revenge before he even said anything.
“Okay, you can go out. And don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t punish Dis.” After Snape drove Malfoy out, he came to the crucible where the Felixir was brewed, stirred it clockwise seven times, and then counterclockwise twice. After doing this, he left the office, returned to the ward, and told Dumbledore what Malfoy had said.
Chapter 43 Ekrizi Dis (Old Version)
When Murphy opened his eyes again, he found the same scene as last time.
The white ceiling and Dumbledore’s old face.
“Professor Dumbledore, please stop staring at me. I feel very uncomfortable!” Murphy said with disgust on his face as he shrank back.
“Ha, little Murphy, don’t you want to punch me in the face?” Dumbledore said with narrowed eyes.
“There’s no point. I was so exhausted just now, but you still played me around.” Murphy said with a little melancholy.
“Then what do you want? Do you still want to hit me now?” Then Dumbledore said in a comforting tone, “Compared to your classmates, you are already very good. You broke my Shield Charm with your bare hands. I’m afraid no one would believe it if they told others. Besides, this is Hogwarts. The headmaster’s authority here is probably much greater than you think.”
Dumbledore looked into Murphy’s eyes carefully, then spoke seriously.
“Now that you have recovered, can you tell me about your situation at that time?”
“At that time, I didn’t know what happened. I felt uncomfortable after I came back from the Quidditch field, and it seemed that there was a rage in my heart that I wanted to vent. Malfoy came to me at this time and talked to me. I don’t know why, I was very annoyed. By the way, is he okay?” Murphy said a little embarrassedly. Malfoy did nothing wrong. He just came to fulfill the professor’s commission, but he was frightened by himself innocently.
“There’s nothing wrong with Mr. Malfoy, but since you think so, wait until you go back and have a good talk with him. Mr. Malfoy is essentially a good boy, it’s just that his father Lucius Malfoy’s teaching of him is a little biased. If possible, I still hope you can help him.” Dumbledore said sincerely.
“Professor, actually…” Murphy hesitated for a moment, then saw himself lying on the hospital bed, and he also hoped to get some answers from Dumbledore, so he decided to remind him.
“Actually, after I saw Malfoy, a picture automatically appeared in my mind. In the picture, he was pointing his wand at you, and you seemed to be in a very bad condition, half kneeling on the ground.”
“Malfoy and me?” Dumbledore was surprised when he heard Murphy’s words, but he soon returned to normal. “If this really happened, I believe there must be something deeper. Our eyes often deceive ourselves. I still say that Malfoy is a good boy. I hope you can help him.”
After hearing what Dumbledore said, Murphy neither agreed nor refused. He told Dumbledore about this matter only to report back that Dumbledore did not take advantage of the situation. As for what Dumbledore thought and did, that was his business and had nothing to do with him.
“Professor, do you know what happened to me just now? Does it have anything to do with the Silent One?” Since the reward had already been paid, Murphy didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
“This…” Dumbledore frowned and thought carefully. After a moment, he shook his head. “I’m sorry, Murphy, I’m afraid I really don’t know why you are like this. I have some understanding of the Silent Ones, but I have never seen one like you. And I just checked your body, and I really don’t understand why such a powerful energy would burst out of your body. And this energy seems to have special properties, but I can’t figure it out now. Can you release some of it?”
Hearing this, Murphy closed his eyes, experienced it carefully, and then shook his head in disappointment. Could this energy be related to the system?
[This energy has nothing to do with the system. It is the energy that the host has in his body. ]A prompt box that only Murphy could see suddenly appeared in front of him. Looking at the system prompt, Murphy became even more confused.
“Murphy, what I’m going to say next may violate your privacy. I hope you can understand.” Dumbledore suddenly said.
“Of course I don’t mind, Professor. If you can find out about my background, I would like to thank you!” Murphy said quickly. He really didn’t want to be out of control anymore.
“Since you understand, that’s the best. In fact, I asked Severus to investigate your background. Before school started, he went to the Wu Orphanage and asked the staff at that time, but he found nothing.”
Murphy was immediately disappointed when he heard what Dumbledore said, but he didn’t expect Dumbledore to suddenly make a turn.
“However, among the residents around here, there is a discovery that can’t really be called a discovery. Do you want to…”
“Of course I want to know. Tell me quickly. If you don’t tell me the truth, I won’t be able to get a house!” Murphy asked urgently.
“There was a worker on the night shift who happened to be walking on the road in front of the orphanage at that time. The entrance of the orphanage was originally clean, but suddenly a strange flash of lightning flashed. When he opened his eyes, he found that there was a baby at the door of the orphanage, and you were the only child accepted by the orphanage at that time.” Dumbledore stopped here.
“What’s next? Is this all? Is there any other information?” Murphy asked.
“That’s all the worker knew, but he attributed it to his dazzled eyes. To ensure the accuracy of the information, I went to verify it and confirmed that it was not his dazzled eyes, but that you really did suddenly appear at the door of the orphanage. So I have reason to believe that you are a child from a wizard family. As for which family it is, you should have checked it yourself.”
“Ekriz Dees, the creator of Azkaban,” Murphy replied.
“Yes, as you can tell from your name, you should be from the Dis family.”
“The Dis family, is there really a Dis family? What happened to that Ekriz Dis? Where are his descendants? Have you investigated these?” Murphy continued to ask.
“No.” Dumbledore shook his head. “What I meant is that I have not found any other information. In fact, the document you saw in the library is the only document that confirms the existence of Ekrizi Dees. The only thing left is a rumor.”
“What rumor?” Murphy asked quickly.
“I can tell you, but I hope you won’t be impulsive. Promise me that you won’t investigate alone before graduation, okay?”
Murphy looked at Dumbledore’s determined eyes and knew that if he didn’t agree, he might not tell him, so he nodded and agreed.
“There is a rumor in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic that at the bottom of Azkaban, where I took you, there lies the secret of the birth of Dementors and the message left by Ecclestone Dees.”
Hearing Dumbledore’s words, Murphy nodded thoughtfully. Could this be the reason why the Dementors brought the original body to Azkaban?
Chapter 44: The Miserable Malfoy (Old Version)
Murphy left the school hospital that afternoon. After all, his current physical condition did not allow him to continue occupying a bed, even if no one was hospitalized.
Besides, he was already hungry. After all, he hadn’t finished his breakfast and he missed lunch while he was unconscious. He definitely couldn’t miss dinner.
After Dumbledore finished talking to Murphy, he left. He knew that Murphy must have many secrets that he had not told.
But as a wizard, who doesn’t have a few secrets? The fewer secrets a wizard has, the more mediocre he is!
As Murphy walked in the corridor, he was surprised to find that his emotional level was increasing spontaneously.
[Emotion value (shock) +5 from Michael Carter! ][Emotion value (shock) +3 from Theresa Maitre! ][Emotion value (shock) +2 from Frieza Kenut! ][Emotion value (shock) +6 from Theresa Carr! ]Looking at these deposit notifications, Murphy slowly began to understand. The only thing he had done recently that was talked about by the whole school was killing the giant monster last night.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. Murphy walked towards the auditorium happily.
The moment his figure appeared at the door of the auditorium, everyone looked over.
You know what, I’m really a little shy.
Murphy pretended not to see it and walked quickly towards the Slytherin table.
The Slytherins first looked at him, then looked in the direction of Malfoy.
Malfoy? Murphy also saw him at this time, thinking of what Dumbledore said to him and what he had done in the morning, he walked directly to Malfoy and sat down.
“Why, are you here to apologize?” Malfoy said arrogantly.
“Yes, I am here to apologize. I am really sorry for what happened this morning. I was a little emotional at the time.” Murphy said simply.
“Huh, now you know how powerful I am? Let me tell you, no one in Slytherin dares to treat me like that!” Malfoy became even more proud after hearing Murphy’s words. He first looked around and then spoke to Murphy in a loud voice.
“Since you have taken the initiative to come and apologize, I can also be merciful and let you go. You should be careful in the future and be more respectful to me!”
Huh? Murphy also realized that Malfoy seemed a little bit arrogant. Never mind. He was wrong this morning. He would just let him be arrogant for once.
Seeing Murphy’s silence, Malfoy became even more proud. He thought that this was Murphy’s submission to him after seeing his power. Although he didn’t care at all, it also showed that no one could shake his position in Slytherin or even Hogwarts!
“Look at Malfoy!” Hermione, who had been secretly paying attention to Murphy since he entered the door, naturally saw Malfoy’s arrogance. She angrily slammed the table and said.
“Hermione, they are all Slytherins, don’t bother with them.” Ron said indifferently. “I originally thought that Deeds was different from other Slytherins, but I didn’t expect him to get mixed up with Malfoy.”
“No.” Harry said with a tangled look, “Didn’t you hear that it was because Murphy did something to Malfoy this morning that Snape punished Murphy and even knocked him unconscious.”
“Oh my God, I’m going to complain to Professor Dumbledore. How can a professor treat students like this?” Hermione was extremely angry at this time. She stood up and was about to find Dumbledore, but was stopped by Harry and Ron.
“Don’t go, Hermione. You weren’t here in the morning so you don’t know what happened. It was Professor Dumbledore who took him away.” Ron said hurriedly.
“What? Are you telling the truth?” Hermione said in surprise.
“Of course it’s true. Everyone in the hall saw it. Don’t forget that Snape was the head of Slytherin at the time. If he wanted to punish Slytherin students, even Dumbledore couldn’t stop him.” Ron explained.
“How can this be possible?” Hermione walked back disappointedly after hearing Ron’s words, staring at Murphy with a complicated look, “I can’t imagine what kind of life he is living in Slytherin.”
As she spoke, Hermione’s eyes became red.
Murphy ignored Malfoy and ate his dinner with relish while looking at the system prompts.
But he soon found something wrong. Why was there no notification of deposit? Could it be that all the students had already been harvested?
Thinking of this, Murphy quickly paddled forward twice. Something was not right. Although the number was not small, there were obviously many that had not been harvested. What happened?
Murphy raised his head blankly and looked around. The arrogant Malfoy, the gloating Goyle…, the disappointed Holfoley?
Could it be? Suddenly Murphy had an idea, and he quickly looked towards Gryffindor, Harry Potter with a tangled face, Ron Weasley who showed that it was as expected, and finally Hermione with a slightly red face and a look of pity.
Murphy immediately understood after seeing this. Although he didn’t know what went wrong, his apology to Malfoy seemed to send a bad signal to all parties.
In fact, Murphy could ignore all of this, but he couldn’t accept it if his emotional level was affected by it.
Looking at that little bastard Malfoy, who was still eating and drinking there, Murphy’s anger rose suddenly. He could not care about anything else. If he did not solve this matter properly, it would probably affect his mood value for harvesting later.
Thinking of this, Murphy slammed the Cornish pasty in his hand heavily onto the table.
Then he gave Malfoy a big fight, and with a bang, Malfoy’s face was covered with meat sauce.
“Still eating? I’m here to stop you…, you said it wrong, start over, can’t you be more civilized when eating? Didn’t your mother teach you not to talk while eating? Your saliva is flying all over me!”
The sudden fight made Malfoy confused. Didn’t everyone say anything? And didn’t everyone surrender? How dare you hit me!
At this time, the eyes of the entire hall were focused here, and Dumbledore looked at Snape, who was eating his dinner calmly. He actually knew the truth of the matter best, so he didn’t care. Anyway, Murphy would not do anything too excessive to Malfoy.
Malfoy’s whole face turned red at this time. He tried to take out his wand from his clothes tremblingly, but was slapped on the head by Murphy again.
After Murphy finished slapping Malfoy, he whispered in Malfoy’s ear, “Do you want to try the feeling you had this morning again? If you dare to take out your wand, I will definitely make you feel ten times more fearful than this morning!”
Hearing Murphy’s words, Malfoy recalled the fear he had felt in the morning, and immediately dropped his hand.
“Very good, you can eat now, just remember to eat in a civilized manner.”
Murphy ignored Malfoy after he finished speaking. He picked up the pie again and watched with satisfaction as the system’s payment notification started again.
Chapter 45: Professor Perry’s Interview (Old Version)
In the headmaster’s office of Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore was reading two pieces of parchment carefully.
Opposite him sat a witch with a swaying figure and a beautiful face.
The witch elegantly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and immediately frowned slightly. Then she calmly put the teacup down and placed it a little further away from herself.
“Professor Perry, is Nick okay now?” After reading the contents of the parchment, Dumbledore put the parchment on the table and said with a smile.
“Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Flamel told me that you met during the holidays and he gave you something. How come it’s only been a few months? Have you forgotten?” Perry replied with a smile.
“Oh, I’m so ashamed. I’m also old and confused. Please forgive me. After all, my memory seems to be problematic as I get older. I always feel that many things that happened just now have been a long time ago.” Dumbledore said without any shame.
“No, no, no, Professor Dumbledore, as the greatest white wizard of this century, how can you be old? Moreover, you are only 110 years old now. As a close friend of Mr. Flamel, if you want, you can still be called a young man.” Perry’s speech and posture can be said to be flawless.
“You’re too kind, Professor Perry. By the way, as far as I know, although you only taught at Beauxbatons for two years, the students there loved you very much. How could Madam Maxime be willing to let you leave? Why did you come to Hogwarts?” Dumbledore asked curiously.
“Beauxbatons is a great school of magic. Although it is not as old as Hogwarts, it also has its own unique features. I didn’t want to leave there, but my family has always told me that I am still a British, so I also want to return to my hometown to take a look. If possible, I hope to settle down here. This is also the reason why Madam Maxime is willing to let me leave.” Perry answered Dumbledore’s question without any mistakes.
“Oh, you see I am old. I didn’t notice it just now. Elizabeth Paley, a typical British. May I ask, do you have any relatives in Britain?” Dumbledore continued to inquire.
“No, our family moved to Enoria a long time ago.” Perry shook her head and said. Seeing that Dumbledore was about to speak again, she no longer cared about social etiquette and directly took the initiative and asked.
“Professor Dumbledore, I wonder what you think of my coming to work at Hogwarts?”
“In principle, I have no problem with you coming to teach at Hogwarts, and I welcome you very much. After all, Nick and Madame Maxime have never written letters of introduction to anyone at the same time over the years.” Dumbledore paused here, then continued with regret.
“It’s a pity that the professors at Hogwarts are now full, and there are really no idle subjects. But after all, you have letters of introduction from Nick and Madam Maxime. How about this, I call Professor McGonagall and we can have a chat together, what do you think?”
“Of course there is no problem with what Professor McGonagall said. She is a professor I admire very much.” Perry said nonchalantly.
After a while, Professor McGonagall knocked on the door and came in.
“Albus, you wanted to see me?”
“Minerva, let me introduce you first.” Dumbledore introduced the two to each other.
“Of course I welcome Professor Perry to Hogwarts, but what Professor Dumbledore said just now is right. We really don’t lack professors right now.” McGonagall said with difficulty.
“Since Professor Dumbledore knows that I have worked at Beauxbatons for two years, you should know my position. So I wonder if Hogwarts is willing?”
“Art professor?” Dumbledore glanced at McGonagall, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Perry.
“I’m not talking about art professors. I know that. Except for Beauxbatons, other magic schools don’t pay much attention to art. I’m talking about psychological counseling.”
“As for psychological counseling…” McGonagall was about to refuse, but Dumbledore seemed to have different ideas.
“That’s fine. Someone once suggested to me that Hogwarts does need a psychological counselor.” Dumbledore nodded in agreement.
“Oh, I wonder which professor proposed this.” Perry asked curiously.
“He’s not a professor, he’s a student, Murphy Acridis Dees.” Dumbledore stared straight into Perry’s eyes after he said that. As he expected, Perry, who had always behaved calmly, now had a gleam of light in his eyes.
“Minerva, what do you think?” Dumbledore turned to Professor McGonagall and asked.
“To be honest, I don’t really understand what psychological counseling is about.” Professor McGonagall said bluntly.
“Professor Perry, please explain it to me.” Dumbledore said to Perry with a smile.
“It’s my duty,” Paley nodded and said to Professor McGonagall.
“Professor McGonagall, psychological counseling is a subject of knowledge among Muggles. It mainly treats psychological illnesses through conversation. Its main responsibility is to help students solve some psychological problems in the process of growing up, so that they can correctly understand themselves, affirm themselves, give full play to their potential, and become a better self.”
“Can this be accomplished just by talking?” Professor McGonagall asked in disbelief.
“Muggles can only rely on talking, but I’m a wizard, so I also added some spells into it, of course they are harmless,” said Perry.
“I have discussed this with many students in Beauxbatons, and they all agree with it. And it has had very good results, but in order to protect their privacy, please forgive me for not being able to give you examples.”
“Of course.” Professor McGonagall nodded, and then asked, “Although I don’t know much about the psychological counseling you mentioned, I think the most important thing is to make the students trust you. How do you do this?”
“As expected of Professor McGonagall, you have found the key point right away. Trust is the most important part of psychological counseling. I can only tell you that I have my own method.” Perry said confidently.
“I also think this should not be a big problem for you.” Dumbledore looked at Perry’s beautiful face with admiration.
I have to say that in many cases, the more beautiful a person is, the more trust they can get from others. Perry is already the best in this field. At least Dumbledore has never seen anyone who can match her appearance.
Chapter 46: New Professor Joins the Staff Smoothly (Old Version)
In the corridor on the left of the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, Professor McGonagall was taking the newly hired Professor Paley to her office.
“By the way, Professor Paley, do you have any property in Britain?” asked Professor McGonagall.
“Mr. Flamel has sold me a property in Hogsmeade, but I haven’t been there yet. I will go over and take a look after I get settled here. By the way, Professor McGonagall, if possible, I hope you can give me a bedroom. I will move there after it is ready.” Professor Perry said.
“Every professor has a lounge in his office, and all professors live in the lounge during the school term. This is more convenient. Under normal circumstances, all professors live in the school.” Professor McGonagall said immediately, perhaps because she was afraid that the new professor would misunderstand.
“Of course, as long as it does not affect normal teaching work, there are no restrictions on professors wanting to go out. However, since you are a psychological counselor, you should be almost the same as Madam Pomfrey, who is the school’s doctor. It may be troublesome for you to go out. After all, no one can guarantee when students will come to you for help. Therefore, I suggest that you live in the school.”
“Is that so? I have no problem with that. As long as I have a place to live, I can live anywhere. Besides, it is more convenient to live in school.”
Hearing Professor Perry’s answer without any dissatisfaction, McGonagall nodded with satisfaction.
After turning a corner, the two stopped in front of an empty office.
“Professor Perry, this is your office. The classroom next to it is also empty. You can decorate it according to your needs.” Professor McGonagall said, pointing to the room.
“Oh, by the way, here comes a house-elf.” Professor McGonagall shouted into the air.
As soon as she finished her words, there was a snap and a house-elf appeared out of thin air.
“Professor, Grey is at your service.” The house-elf bowed respectfully to Mag.
“Professor Perry, just let Grey do whatever you want. I won’t bother you here.” Professor McGonagall said.
“Thank you so much, Professor McGonagall. By the way, you can just call me by my name, Elizabeth. If there’s anything I do wrong in the future, please give me your advice.” Perry said gracefully.
“Of course there is no problem. If you don’t understand anything, just ask me directly. And you don’t have to call me Professor McGonagall. Just call me Minerva.” Professor McGonagall was also very free and easy. After she finished speaking, she nodded to Perry and left.
“This is Gree, right? I’ll trouble you next.” Perry said gently to the house-elf Gree.
At this moment, a few little wizards happened to pass by here, chatting as they walked.
“Have you heard that the Weasley brothers encountered the monster again during their night outing last night?” a student said mysteriously.
“I know, I know. Cynthia from Hufflepuff also encountered this and she was terrified.” Another student quickly continued the conversation.
“What does that monster look like? I really want to see it!” said another little wizard with longing.
“Oh, right, have you heard that someone said that if you haven’t seen the monster, you haven’t really been to Hogwarts for a night. Others say that if you haven’t been baptized by the monster, you’re not a true Gryffindor!”
“Stop talking, look who that person is?” The first student was the first to notice Professor Perry standing at the door, and he said to his companions.
“Who is it?” Everyone else looked over when they heard that, and Professor Perry also looked over at them.
One glance is a lifetime. The four students were dumbfounded the moment they saw Professor Perry. They stared at Perry so blankly that they could hardly walk.
“Hello.” Professor Perry greeted them with a smile.
“Hello, hello, who are you?” a student asked bravely.
Gryffindor, who was always famous for his daring, also began to stutter in front of the stunningly beautiful Professor Paley.
“I am your new professor. You can call me Professor Paley. Are you Gryffindor students?” Paley said with a smile.
After confirming the other party’s identity, the students immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation and left in a hurry.
Looking at the fleeing little wizards, Professor Perry couldn’t help but smile. Then he began to direct Gree to decorate the room while thinking.
Interesting, there are monsters in Hogwarts Castle, so why didn’t Dumbledore care?
If left alone, it means the monster is controllable and will not harm students.
So the question is, what kind of monster is controllable? Of course, it is summoned by the students, and of course we cannot rule out the new professor this year, Quirinus Quirrell.
Now a new question arises: what is the point of summoning a monster that will not harm others?
After several students left Professor Perry, one of them said with a sense of loss.
“That professor is really beautiful, but I don’t know what subject she teaches. I remember that we don’t seem to be short of professors.”
“Don’t worry about her, let’s discuss how to meet that monster.” It has to be said that boys before a certain age have incredibly strong willpower!
As for that monster, it is naturally Murphy’s patron saint.
After dinner yesterday, Murphy gathered his strength until about eleven o’clock, then released his patronus and transferred his consciousness into it, and then began to stir up trouble in Hogwarts Castle.
Whether it was Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, whether it was a boy or a girl, one person or a group of people, as long as they were students of the right age, Murphy did not let any of them go.
After he threatened a Gryffindor student, he heard the student crying and saying that he would never go out at night again.
Murphy was shocked when he heard him say that. He had worked so hard to find such a method, how could he let you escape?
After thinking hard, Murphy finally came up with a good idea.
Chapter 47 Murphy Attacks (Old Version)
Time goes back to the morning of the second day after Murphy sent out the Dementors. Not long after the sun appeared above the horizon, Murphy ran out of the lounge.
After a night of thinking and perfecting it in the morning, he had put together a plan to attack each college.
Murphy walked up the stairs to the outside of the Gryffindor common room. He first used the emotion robe’s ability to change at will to put on the Gryffindor robe, and then waited quietly aside until a group of Gryffindors crawled out of the lounge, and then he quickly mixed in.
After walking a few steps, as expected, the Gryffindors began to discuss the monster they encountered last night.
After just a few words, several people began to back off. Murphy quickly joined the group chat and spoke a lot of words.
For example, Gryffindor is not afraid of any challenge, no matter what kind of monster it is, he will not be afraid, and he must find a monster to prove that he is a qualified Gryffindor.
Only after seeing the Gryffindors’ eyes become enthusiastic did Murphy quietly leave them.
This was repeated twice, and all three Gryffindor groups became very excited.
Even if Gryffindor has been successfully breached now, these three groups will definitely infect the entire Gryffindor.
After breakfast, Murphy changed his clothes and went to the library. He picked up a few books from the bookshelf and came to where the Ravenclaws gathered. After taking a few glances, he sat next to a student who was reading a book about magical creatures.
After a moment, Murphy pretended to accidentally see the contents of the book of the person next to him, and then began to actively find a conversation.
“Classmate, are you looking for the monster that haunts the castle at night?”
“Ah?” Obviously, this Ravenclaw was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge. He did not hear what Murphy said, so Murphy had to repeat it again.
“Well, I am indeed looking for it. If their description is correct, based on its appearance it should be a Dementor.” All I can say is that it is worthy of being a Ravenclaw.
“Is it really a Dementor? I don’t think so. I heard from the people in Gryffindor that although it looks the same as a Dementor, the most important characteristic of a Dementor is that it absorbs happy memories around it, while that monster doesn’t. Although it is scary, it won’t remind people of painful memories.” Murphy argued.
“Really? About that.”
Hearing that person’s words, Murphy was secretly delighted that his wish had finally come. He took a deep breath and stood up suddenly, then spoke loudly to the Ravenclaws before Madam Pince rushed over.
“Almost? How can we Ravenclaws say this word? Can you use almost when casting spells? Can you also use almost when making potions? Or can you use almost on the road to wisdom? I know you must be scared. Yes, I am scared too, but I am scared of almost. This time it will be almost, next time it will be almost, and everything will be almost in the future!”
“A true Ravenclaw will never allow something to appear in his mind, even if it is dangerous. But as long as it appears on the path of pursuing wisdom, I will definitely step on it.”
“From tonight on, I will go looking for that monster until I fully understand what it is!”
In fact, there were still some words that Murphy didn’t finish, but Madam Pince was already close at hand, so he had to leave here quickly, leaving behind the confused Ravenclaws and the furious Madam Pince.
Seeing that the perpetrator had left, Madam Pince, who had nowhere to vent her anger, drove out all the Ravenclaws around her. After all, the perpetrator was wearing Ravenclaw robes.
“Rommel, who was that person just now? What were you discussing?” A Ravenclaw who was innocently implicated asked the little wizard who had just been chatting with Murphy with a frown.
“I don’t know who he is either. We were just talking about the monster that haunts the castle at night.”
Hearing the little wizard’s words, the other students all gathered around. Ravenclaw advocates wisdom, and curiosity is the source of wisdom.
Looking at the people who gathered around him, the young wizard repeated in detail the conversation he had just had with Murphy.
“Although being kicked out is very embarrassing, Rommel, that classmate is right. We really shouldn’t have similar ideas. Since he wants to find the true face of the monster, then I will not be timid. I have decided that starting from tonight, I will also go find that monster and see what it is!”
Murphy, who was hiding in the corner, immediately smiled when he heard the words of the Ravenclaw.
The rest depends on how big it can ferment. For Ravenclaw, it is absolutely impossible to blossom as much as Gryffindor. Gryffindors are thick-skinned and they don’t care what the starting point of things is. Ravenclaw is different. They are smart and sensitive. The more they do, the greater the chance of mistakes.
After completing the Ravenclaw Raiders, Murphy simply changed his robes back to their original color and returned to the Slytherin common room.
He didn’t do much, he just came to Malfoy very naturally and spoke calmly to the uneasy Malfoy.
“I heard from a Gryffindor student that they plan to find that monster at night to prove that Gryffindor is the most powerful house in Hogwarts. Those so-called pure-blood nobles are just cowards who have no guts and can only sue the teacher!”
Malfoy’s originally pale face suddenly turned red with anger, and he cursed harshly.
“They are just a bunch of mudbloods, how dare they…”
Having said that, Malfoy immediately stopped talking. He looked towards Murphy cautiously, and when he saw Murphy’s still calm eyes, he immediately relaxed, but suddenly an idea came to his mind.
“By the way, Professor Snape is your godfather, right? You say his house is so looked down upon. To be honest, no matter how you look at it, I can’t stand it.”
Murphy left as soon as he finished speaking, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat in a corner where Malfoy could not see him and observed Malfoy quietly.
Malfoy did not disappoint him. He quickly found several other pure-blood aristocratic students and then told them in a very moving voice how Gryffindor despised Slytherins.
After hearing this, the students were filled with righteous indignation, and said that Slytherin would never fall behind, and it was even more impossible for them to lose to Gryffindor!
How they planned to find the monster next was not something Murphy wanted to know. He quietly left the common room and returned to his dormitory.
As for Hufflepuff, the house with the largest number of people, Murphy expressed his apology and helplessness. He really didn’t know how to provoke them to participate in this game. Now he could only hope that things would work out naturally.
Just after Murphy left, Malfoy also left the common room. He returned to the dormitory and immediately found a pen and paper and wrote something on it before sending his owl away.
Chapter 48: We finally met (old version)
Things then developed as Murphy had expected. Influenced by those groups of people, students from the three colleges were discussing how to find the monster that only appeared at night.
The Hufflepuffs felt abandoned, but they soon heard about it from Gryffindor and immediately joined in with great interest.
It was in this environment that Professor Paley met the Gryffindors who were discussing.
Murphy also accidentally heard that a new professor had joined the job. After hearing the news, he immediately became alert. It was not that he thought the new professor would be bad for him or anything, but he did not suffer from paranoia.
It was because he never knew there would be any new professors coming to Hogwarts besides Quirrell during Harry Potter’s first year.
So Murphy came to the auditorium early for dinner in the afternoon. He wanted to see who the new professor was.
As time went by, more and more people came into the auditorium. Although Murphy was very satisfied with what they were discussing, his attention was inevitably focused on the professor’s seat. In order to see the new professor more clearly, he even came to the front of the dining table.
Soon, the professors began to take their seats. Seeing that most of the seats were already full and the new professor still hadn’t appeared, Murphy’s curiosity was slowly aroused.
At this moment, Murphy’s heart suddenly began to beat for some reason, and his eyes involuntarily looked towards the door of the auditorium.
A figure in dark blue wizard robes appeared there.
Along with the sound of footsteps, Professor Perry appeared in the auditorium. At this time, the originally messy auditorium gradually became quiet, and everyone’s eyes were on Professor Perry.
Click, click, Professor Perry walked step by step to the professor’s seat and sat down. Her swaying figure and beautiful face shocked everyone present.
Even Murphy, who had been baptized by Internet big data, had to admit that he had never seen such a face.
But why does it feel so familiar? Of course, the familiarity here does not mean that Murphy has seen Professor Perry, but that he feels inexplicably familiar with the energy aura emitted by Professor Perry.
After a moment, Murphy realized that when the explosion occurred in Dumbledore’s office, this new professor had similar energy to what he had exploded at that time!
“Dear students, let me introduce myself to you now.” Dumbledore tapped the wine glass in front of him gently. The crisp sound attracted the students’ attention to himself.
“This is Professor Perry. She is not responsible for any specific subjects, but for protecting everyone’s mental health. So any student with psychological problems can go to her for consultation. By the way, Professor Perry used to work at Beauxbatons School of Magic. She has rich experience in the psychological problems that students may encounter during their growth and how to solve them. Now let us welcome Professor Perry.”
Dumbledore was the first to applaud after he finished speaking, and a moment later, the entire hall was filled with warm applause. No matter whether they were the mischievous Gryffindor or the self-righteous Slytherin, they were all impressed by the professor’s demeanor.
Professor Perry stood up and bowed slightly to the people in the audience. Her perfect chest curve made the boys blush and the girls envy her.
As he sat down, Professor Paley smiled in the direction of Slytherin.
All the Slytherin boys were immediately in an uproar, and only Murphy frowned, because he knew that the mysterious smile just now was for him.
Who is she, what does she want to do, why did she suddenly appear in Hogwarts, and what is her relationship with herself, or her original self?
Murphy ate absent-mindedly throughout the dinner. He was originally excited about the success of his plan, but now he was no longer excited. In addition, Professor Perry’s casual glance when he left made Murphy even more confused.
After finishing his dinner with no appetite, Murphy thought it over again and again and made up his mind.
But before that, some arrangements had to be made. Murphy looked around and sadly discovered that there seemed to be no one he could completely trust.
Just at this time, Murphy saw Professor Snape had finished his dinner and was walking towards the door, so he hurriedly took a few quick steps to catch up with him.
“Professor Snape, may I trouble you with something?” Murphy whispered to Snape who had stopped walking. Seeing that Snape had no intention of speaking, he continued quickly.
“I need to consult Professor Perry about something. I wonder if you can…”
Before Murphy could finish his words, Snape interrupted him.
“I’ll meet you in her office in a quarter of an hour.”
Murphy looked at Snape in surprise. When did Professor Snape become so warm-hearted? He knew it even before he said it.
In fact, before dinner, Dumbledore had found Snape and told him that the new professor was probably coming for Murphy.
Snape was also very confused at the time. He didn’t understand why Dumbledore would agree to let such a person with obviously ulterior motives join Hogwarts at this time.
“There is no way. You know Murphy’s situation. Neither he nor we know the secrets about him. We can’t even start the investigation. The arrival of this person may bring us more information.” Dumbledore said helplessly.
For some reason, as Murphy entered school, he felt that more and more things were beyond his control. However, according to his personality, it was impossible for him to kick Murphy out of Hogwarts, so he could only take one step at a time.
And the sooner he solves the doubts about Murphy, the better he can focus on Harry Potter. After all, in his opinion, Harry Potter is the focus of the next few years, and Murphy may become an important helper to Harry Potter, just like the Weasley family and the Muggle-born girl.
As for Quirrell, Dumbledore said that he was just a tool he chose to train the savior!
Chapter 49 Peverell (Old Version)
“Murphy Ekrizi Dees, why are you here!”
When Murphy arrived at Professor Perry’s office, she asked directly without any nonsense.
“I?”
Murphy was very puzzled at this time. You are stealing my words. Why am I here?
At this moment, Murphy suddenly thought of a very bloody possibility, and he quickly asked in proper Mandarin.
“Odd changes but even doesn’t?”
“Ah?” Professor Perry was stunned for a moment, then stared at Murphy with a frown, “What are you talking about?”
How about trying a different one? Maybe I’m not a science major?
“My name is Hanmeimei. What’s your name?” Murphy continued to test.
“What Hanmeimei, aren’t you Murphy Ecclestone Dees? What on earth are you talking about?” Professor Perry was even more confused at this time.
Looking at Professor Perry’s reaction, Murphy was completely relieved. Fortunately, it was not a double penetration. If it was, it would be the end of him.
“That’s not important anymore, Professor Perry. I don’t know what you mean. Why am I here?”
Hearing that Murphy started to speak seriously, Professor Perry stopped worrying about his previous incoherent sentences and snorted coldly.
“When did the Dis family become like this? Although I don’t know what channel you used to send you out, judging from your current appearance, I’m afraid you must have paid a great price. In this case, why don’t you cooperate with our Peverell family?”
Although Murphy knew the meaning of every word Professor Perry said, he couldn’t understand them when they were put together. However, he still knew a very important last name, which was ‘Peverell’!
This surname is very famous in the Harry Potter world, the most famous of which are the Peverell brothers and the Deathly Hallows!
Professor Perry is from the Peverell family, right? Isn’t Perry derived from Peverell? And what did she just say?
What do you mean by giving it away? What do you mean by cooperation? Could it be…
At this time, Murphy was thinking quickly, hoping to extract more important content from Peverell, or Professor Perry, from Professor Perry’s words. Unfortunately, there was still too little content, and Murphy really didn’t gain much, so he could only take the risk.
“Miss Peverell, how did you get out?” Murphy asked calmly.
However, Professor Perry ignored him. The momentary confusion that Murphy had just shown had already made her alert.
She was not a newbie who knew nothing. After ignoring Murphy’s question, Professor Perry looked at Murphy carefully, and then suddenly froze.
“Could it be?”
After she finished speaking, she waved her arms, and before Murphy could react, an invisible magical force enveloped him.
Just as Murphy tried to struggle, the magic disappeared.
“It’s really like this. They are worthy of being the Dis family. They are so crazy!” Professor Perry muttered to himself.
What madness, what Dis family, Murphy’s curiosity was overflowing at this time, but he also knew that his adventure had failed. It was obvious that Professor Perry already knew that he knew nothing.
So Murphy decided to tell the truth.
“Professor Perry, although I don’t know what you mean, I think you should know my background, so can you tell me what the Dis family you just mentioned means?”
“I can tell you about the Dis family, but you have to tell me your life story first,” Professor Perry said seriously.
“That’s no problem.” Murphy agreed immediately.
It wasn’t because of Professor Perry’s stunning appearance that made Murphy believe her, but because there was nothing to hide about his life story, and he had no other choice but to hope that Professor Perry would keep his word.
“Actually, my life story is very simple. When I had no memory, I was sent to an orphanage…” Murphy quickly recounted his pitifully simple life story.
However, Murphy also noticed that when he talked about being captured by Dementors in Azkaban, Professor Paley did not have any doubts at all, as if it was supposed to be so.
“Professor, I…” Murphy was about to speak when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
After Professor Paley answered, Snape appeared at the door.
“Professor Perry, I heard from the students that Dis is here with you, right? Is your consultation over? The lights will be turned off soon, and students are not allowed to run around in the castle!”
Facing such a stunning beauty as Professor Perry, Snape still had an expression of being unloved by either his grandmother or his uncle, which made Murphy admire him very much. But now it was time for him to get the reward, couldn’t you do it a little later?
“Professor, there’s still some time before the lights go out. Why don’t you go first? I will be back before the lights go out.” Murphy desperately winked at Professor Snape.
“Are the lights about to be turned off? It’s really getting late. Mr. Diss, you really should go back.” Professor Perry said righteously, and then spoke to Murphy in a teasing tone.
“The little wizard should rest more, otherwise he won’t grow up.”
“Professor Snape, please take him back, otherwise I think he will wander around the castle.”
Listening to Professor Perry’s words, Snape stared at Murphy, making him leave the office reluctantly.
Before leaving, he saw Professor Perry actually making a praying gesture towards him!
“Any news?” Snape took Murphy into the office and asked directly.
“No news!” Murphy was full of resentment at this time. He completely forgot that it was he who asked Snape to pick him up.
“What? She doesn’t know your identity either?” Snape asked calmly, ignoring Murphy’s dissatisfaction.
“She should know something, but she didn’t say it.” Murphy said regretfully. In fact, he also understood that it might not be so easy to get Professor Perry to speak. After all, just a surname was so earth-shattering.
Hearing Murphy’s words, Snape showed a look of understanding. Then he didn’t say anything. Instead, he lowered his head and rummaged in the drawer of the desk for a while. Soon he handed a bottle of transparent liquid to Murphy.
“What is this?” Murphy asked curiously.
“Veritaserum!” Snape’s words hit Murphy like a bolt from the blue.
No, are you really a professor? You let your students drug another professor?
Murphy looked at Snape with disdain, then put the medicine bottle into his pocket as if it were a treasure.
Chapter 50 The Professor Who Came to Visit (Old Version)
[Remaining emotion value: 18360]Looking at the emotional value that had returned to five digits and was about to reach 20,000, Murphy couldn’t help but shed tears of excitement. It was worth it, everything he had done was worth it!
After three hours of fierce fighting, after making sure that no one had escaped, Murphy controlled his patronus and returned to the dormitory. After transferring his consciousness back to his body, he immediately checked his gains.
How about a ten-game stretch first?
Suddenly, an evil thought appeared in Murphy’s mind and quickly occupied most of the area, which made Murphy involuntarily shift his consciousness to the lottery.
The remaining small area was desperately holding on, making him give up the idea.
After a fierce struggle, Murphy finally gave up the idea of ​​lottery. After all, he only had to wait for a few months to get the fresh and hot enhanced version of the Felicityl. In the meantime, there shouldn’t be any problem as long as he wasn’t too erratic!
So do you want to upgrade first?
Murphy didn’t hesitate and clicked on the [Upgradeable] button behind [Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse].
[Current emotion points: 15360][Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse, Fear Level, Lv2 (Upgradable)]No, how could it be two thousand less? Doesn’t the upgrade only cost one thousand?
“System, get out here. If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, I, I…” Murphy really didn’t know how to threaten the system, so he had to change direction.
“Do you know how much I paid for this little bit of emotion?”
[Because the host has now upgraded to the second level of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse, the Fear Level, he can absorb the emotional value brought by the two emotions, and can also regulate the two emotions, so the emotional value consumed by the upgrade will naturally increase. Please treat it rationally. ][Also, the host’s actions, according to the system, did not cost much at all. ]“Okay, okay, you’re right!” Murphy changed the subject and said flatteringly, “System, let’s discuss it. See if you can give me a discount or something. Don’t worry, I won’t use my emotion points indiscriminately. I’ll use them all in a few months!”
[I’m sorry, the system doesn’t have a discount function right now. I also need to remind the host that the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Curse is the foundation of the host’s strength, and the lottery is just the icing on the cake. Please don’t make mistakes. ]“What do you mean by self-deception? The lottery is the fundamental way to change your fate. Don’t try to shake the morale of the troops. You don’t even give a discount. You are really stingy. Okay, you can leave now.”
After finishing speaking, Murphy directly closed the system interface. As for the skill upgrade, he decided to wait a little longer. Anyway, it couldn’t be upgraded to the third level now. Moreover, according to the upgrade order, the next level was sadness. This might be useful in battle, but it didn’t have much effect on collecting emotional values. After all, his main target of harvesting now was students, especially young wizards in the lower and middle grades.
He is just a little wizard from some academy. Forget about wanting to reap their sorrow. What’s the use of such heartless sorrow?
After making sure everything was ready, Murphy fell into a deep sleep. In fact, he was already a little exhausted when he just came back. After all, the consumption in one night was really too much.
The early morning sunlight, refracted by the water of the Black Lake, drifted into Murphy’s dormitory like a gentle breeze. Although he had only a few hours of sleep, Murphy still opened his eyes sleepily under the green light.
At this time, his consciousness was still in chaos and he had not yet woken up. When he opened his eyes slightly, Murphy found a swaying lady sitting next to his desk.
The lady had her back to him, her figure looming in the green light. Although it was not very clear, her perfect back was clearly revealed. Her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, was the best in the Peach Class and was fascinating.
At this moment, the woman seemed to have sensed something as well. She slowly turned her head and looked at Murphy. The facial outline that looked like a carefully carved work of art appeared in front of Murphy.
Seeing the person in front of him with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Murphy couldn’t help but rubbed his eyes.
It seemed that I was really dreaming, but this dream was so real, especially the woman in front of me, who looked exactly like Professor Perry.
Thinking of this, Murphy closed his eyes again, and at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes again.
“You, why are you in my dormitory!” Murphy said as he pulled back the blanket and looked at his complete attire before he felt relieved.
“How rude! Shouldn’t you call me professor?” Professor Perry smiled and spoke in a gentle voice.
“I’m not polite. Is it polite to suddenly show up in someone else’s dormitory without their permission?” Murphy retorted.
“Would you like me to apologize to you?” Professor Perry’s voice actually made Murphy feel as if he had done something wrong.
“Okay, stop talking about useless things. What are you doing here?” Murphy pinched his thigh quietly to avoid being tempted. After all, he was not a real child and his mind was that of an adult.
“Last night, I discovered something very interesting.” Professor Perry’s voice was like a clear spring, flowing slowly, making people unable to help but listen attentively.
“Some students don’t even sleep at night and wander around the corridors.”
“This is normal. Students’ night outings are a traditional virtue of Hogwarts!” Murphy said directly.
“Really? Then is it a tradition of Hogwarts to wander around at night in the form of Dementors?” Although Professor Paley’s voice was soft, it made Murphy’s hair stand on end.
“What do you mean? What about collecting fear? What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Hearing Murphy’s stubborn answer, Professor Perry did not refute but continued.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. Let me tell you. Just last night, I found a special Dementor in the castle. Although I just started working, I still took the initiative to follow it out of my responsibility as a professor to protect my students. I found that this Dementor actually had a very bad taste in scaring students.”
When Murphy heard what Professor Perry said, his heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t even noticed it!
Could it be that I have been living too leisurely recently and have lost even the slightest bit of vigilance?
And as a new employee, do you need to be so responsible?
Chapter 51: Has the System Been Discovered? (Old Version)
Slytherin Common Room in Hogwarts Castle, inside Murphy’s dormitory.
Professor Paley was sitting elegantly in a chair next to the desk, telling Murphy something that made his hair stand on end.
“After I found out that the Dementor had no intention of harming the students, I quietly followed him. But after watching it completely, do you know what I found?”
“Just say what you want to say.” Murphy said unhappily. Now he just wanted Professor Perry to leave his dormitory.
Professor Paley didn’t care about Murphy’s tone; she continued speaking softly.
“I discovered that this Dementor is actually collecting fear!”
When Murphy heard Professor Perry’s words, he looked sharply at her face, which was so exquisite that it seemed unreal. At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to feel like a thorn in the back, a fishbone stuck in the throat, and to be sitting on pins and needles.
She actually knew that I was collecting fear. How could she know that? That was obviously his own system. Murphy was really panicked at this moment. You know, the system was his biggest trump card besides time travel. Now someone actually told it bluntly. Suddenly, a feeling of nakedness and insecurity emerged.
“After collecting the fear, the Dementor floated back here like a shadow! Now, Mr. Dis, are you still saying that you know nothing?”
“Just because it floated in doesn’t mean I know it. What’s the point of collecting fear?” Murphy tried to defend himself, but he probably wouldn’t even believe what he said.
“Your words may deceive other people, but to me, it’s probably meaningless.” Professor Perry chuckled, then winked playfully.
“Oh, I almost forgot, you don’t know anything. But…”
Then she changed the subject and spoke seriously.
“Since you know nothing, how did you learn to collect fear!”
Learned? What do you mean learned? Isn’t this collected by the system itself? Murphy was stunned, and then her mood changed 180 degrees. It turned out that she didn’t know she had a system at all. She was almost scared to death.
However, Professor Perry’s question made him realize that this seemed to be a great opportunity, and he could take this opportunity to get some information from her.
Thinking of this, Murphy immediately began to disguise himself. He pretended to be horrified after his secret was revealed, and then he pretended to be calm and spoke stutteringly.
“I, I don’t know either. Anyway, I learned it when I was in Azkaban.”
“I knew that the backup plan of your Dis family might be in Azkaban, otherwise…” Professor Perry said thoughtfully.
Otherwise, what is it? Please tell me clearly, Murphy looked at Professor Perry with an itchy look on his face.
“Don’t look at me like that. I told you that this is your Dis family’s backup plan. I’m not sure about the specific situation.” Professor Perry couldn’t help but shudder when he saw Murphy’s eager eyes.
“Then professor, can you tell me about the situation of the Dis family?” Murphy asked quickly.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible. We all swore not to tell the situation there to… outsiders. No, you are a descendant of the Dis family, so you are not an outsider.” Professor Perry was already a little shaken at this time.
She first glanced at Murphy, then began to think. According to the prophecy, she had completed the first part, and the remaining part would require the other party’s help to succeed.
However, the other party is just an apprentice who has just embarked on the road of magic. Is he really capable of helping me?
“Professor, since I am not an outsider, then we are one of us. Since we are one of us, just tell me.” Seeing Professor Perry who was somewhat interested, Murphy quickly continued.
“I really hope to get information about my family. You may not know that the Obscurus had already broken out when I was in Azkaban. I don’t know how many years I can live. I just want to see my biological parents before I die and ask them why they abandoned me.”
Murphy did not lie about not knowing how many years he could live. After all, he was a wizard now, so he didn’t know whether he could live to be two hundred or three hundred years old.
As for wanting to see his biological parents, that was a complete lie. He wanted to know his own life experience just to solve the mystery of why he was out of control. This is crucial!
“What did you say? You had an outbreak of Obscurus? Where did you find the rhizome of the Soul Grass?” Professor Perry asked in surprise, but she immediately denied her guess.
“No, there is no harmonic agent here. Even if you find the rhizome of the Soul Grass, you can’t neutralize the Obscurus. But your body has completely neutralized the Obscurus. How did you do it?!”
“The rhizome of the spirit grass? The blender? Neutralize the silent? Professor, what are you talking about?” Murphy was a little dumbfounded. Even though he had the memory of his past life and knew the direction of the plot, why couldn’t he understand what Professor Perry said? Was it because she was not a character in the play?
“I can swear to Peverell’s ancestors that as long as you tell me how to neutralize the Obscurus, I can tell you everything you want to know.” Professor Peverell said seriously.
Although Professor Perry’s words were very tempting, Murphy really couldn’t answer. He couldn’t tell her that he had traveled through time.
“Professor, I just had an outburst, and then was unconscious for a while and then I’m fine. Are you saying that I neutralized Moss and I don’t have to die?” Murphy said in pretended surprise.
“Will it be okay after being unconscious for a while?” Professor Perry frowned and didn’t wave at Murphy. Murphy suppressed the urge to dodge and took it.
“I was not mistaken. It has been neutralized without any flaws. This is not right. Even the best blending agent cannot neutralize it so completely.” Professor Perry was completely confused at this time.
At this time, Murphy’s weight in Professor Perry’s heart has been greatly increased. No matter what method he used to neutralize Moss, it was neutralized after all, and even perfectly neutralized. You know, this is a unique existence on that isolated island.
But asking her to tell Murphy everything and cooperate with Murphy is still a little bit short. After all, talent is just talent. All the wizards on the island are extremely talented compared to wizards in the outside world, but how many of them can really grow up?
Of course, it’s okay to tell a little bit, but you need to be safe.
Thinking of this, Professor Perry stretched out her arm, and a purple ball of light suddenly appeared from her palm. Then the purple ball of light floated into the air and expanded rapidly until it enveloped the entire room.
Chapter 52 The Surprise Came Too Suddenly (Old Version)
Looking at the shrouded room, Murphy’s vigilance immediately increased.
“Professor, what are you doing…?”
“I can tell you something. Although it’s not much, it’s definitely not something that outsiders can know. So necessary security measures must be taken. After all, there are too many intricate magic circles in this castle, and I don’t have the patience to shield them one by one. I can only use this tricky method. Now no one can hear our conversation.” Professor Perry said lightly.
“By the way, it’s not just the environment, it’s also you. If you are really determined to listen, then I will also cast some restrictions on you. Tell me your answer, Dis!”
Forget it! Murphy wanted to give up, but seeing Professor Perry’s determined eyes and the room that was wrapped up after all, he chose to follow his heart.
“Of course there is no problem. Professor, please perform it.”
Hearing Murphy’s words, Professor Perry nodded with satisfaction, and then a purple light suddenly shot out from her eyes and instantly hit Murphy’s forehead.
Just when Murphy was still feeling uneasy, the system interface suddenly popped up.
[It is detected that the system can absorb energy, testing in progress…. 】
[This energy is detected as emotional energy (shock), the host has activated the shock stage and can absorb it directly, absorbing… 】
[Emotion value (shock) +10 is directly injected! ]Watching his emotion level slowly rising, Murphy’s mood at this moment could no longer be described in words. He never expected that there would be such an unexpected surprise. However, now is not the time to be excited. He should get some information from Professor Perry first.
Soon, Murphy watched reluctantly as the system prompts stopped, the emotion value stopped changing, and the purple light in Professor Perry’s eyes slowly went out.
“Is this the end?” Murphy asked reluctantly. How could it be the end? I can still hold on. Let’s have some more!
“It’s over. I want to warn you. If you tell anyone everything I told you today, as well as my real last name, the emotional magic I left in your body will disrupt your thinking as soon as you open your mouth. If you still force yourself to speak, I’m sorry, you will fall into a coma due to emotional disorder, and this coma will be permanent, unless someone uses emotional magic to regulate you, and it must be my kind.”
“Professor Dumbledore isn’t capable of this either?” Murphy said casually. He wanted to know who else besides Professor Perry could use this kind of emotional magic. This was definitely a power bank!
“Neither can Dumbledore.” Professor Perry thought for a moment and added, “I admit that Dumbledore is a rare wizard in the outside world. If he only uses ordinary spells, his strength can be on par with several clan leaders or even slightly higher. After all, no matter what, human energy is limited. In addition to practicing ordinary spells, we also have to practice the family’s innate magic, which is emotional magic. So if we add in innate magic, I’m afraid Dumbledore can’t beat any clan leader.”
“Emotional magic, is this unique to your family?” Murphy asked quickly.
“Of course not. Doesn’t your family do that? Aren’t you collecting fear magic at night?” Professor Perry rolled his eyes at Murphy.
“That was not actually my own decision. I don’t know whether you believe it or not, but I really don’t have control over the Dementor. I can only put my consciousness into it, and whatever it does is autonomous and I can’t control it.” Murphy said helplessly.
“Did Dumbledore know?”
“This is Hogwarts, how could Dumbledore not know? I told him a long time ago.” Murphy said bluntly.
“Does he know about you, the Dementor who absorbs fear?” Professor Paley asked immediately.
“He probably doesn’t know. I only told him that the Dementor moves autonomously and I can’t interfere with what it does,” said Murphy.
“That’s good.” Professor Perry breathed a sigh of relief, then organized his thoughts and selected some common sense to tell Murphy.
“I’m going to start talking now. Just listen carefully. Don’t ask questions or refute. Just don’t say anything.”
“First of all, you and I actually come from the same place, the Rainbow of Seven Emotions. There are seven families there, and each family has a kind of innate magic that corresponds to one of the seven emotions. Also, the Rainbow of Seven Emotions is a closed space that is sealed by emotional magic.”
“Secondly, the Dis family you have always wanted to know about is one of the seven families in the Rainbow of Seven Emotions. You should be able to guess by now what kind of innate magic power it possesses. That’s right, it is terror.”
“Finally, I can tell you that Ekrizi Dis in your family was sent out by your Dis family at a great cost. Everything he did was agreed by the Dis family. After he was done, he returned to the Rainbow of Seven Emotions. I think Azkaban must be your Dis family’s backup. If you want to find something, then go to Azkaban. I don’t know anything else. After all, the internal affairs of your family are not something I can know.”
“By the way, the reason I was able to come here to find you is because of the emotional magic that erupted in you a few days ago.”
After Professor Perry finished speaking, he looked at Murphy, and Murphy also spoke very sensibly.
“Can I speak now?”
Murphy looked at Professor Perry and nodded, so he continued to ask.
“You are telling me these things, it is definitely not because you have a change of heart. Now tell me what I need to do.”
“I want you to help me get the Three Deathly Hallows!” Professor Perry said seriously.
“Why me? You are definitely stronger than me. Can’t you go find it yourself? I still have to go to school!” It would be insincere to ask what the Three Hallows of Death were at this time, so Murphy asked directly.
“I can’t tell you too much about why I’m looking for you. I can only tell you that you are destined to meet the Three Hallows. As for why I don’t go looking for them myself, it’s because of my last name, Peverell. The Three Hallows will block my perception, and if I obtain any one of the Hallows alone, I will attract the pursuit of the God of Death. Only the Trinity can allow me to obtain it safely.” Professor Perry said bluntly.
“Peverell?” Murphy suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, “Do you know Harry Potter? Isn’t it said that the Potter family is also the descendant of Peverell?”
“What kind of descendants are they? They are just descendants of servants.” Professor Perry said disdainfully, “The three real Peverell brothers only have one descendant. The others, whether Potter or Gaunt, are all descendants of servants.”
After listening, Murphy had more questions in his mind, such as how to use emotion magic, what is the meaning of silent neutralization, how did Professor Perry come out, what did she do with the three holy relics, and so on.
“Don’t ask me anymore. I won’t tell you even if you ask me. Of course, you can exchange the three sacred vessels with me, and I will tell you more.”
After Professor Perry finished speaking, he took back the purple ball of light, then turned into a purple light and left Murphy’s dormitory.
Chapter 53: Concern from Hermione (Old Version)
A week had passed since the conversation with Professor Perry, and Murphy had been replaying the conversation in his mind.
He hoped to get more information from it, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
Why was the original body sent out, what was inside Azkaban, how to use emotional magic, why were the seven families sealed up, and why didn’t they let the outside world know?
A series of problems caused Murphy’s sleep to be much worse. Coupled with the need to continue to harvest the emotions of the little wizards, he now needs to use recovery spells every day to eliminate his dark circles.
In addition, there is an undesirable reaction, which is that his performance in class has also changed drastically. Before, he could actively answer questions, but now he lies on the table to catch up on his sleep after completing the professor’s class requirements.
Murphy has always been a loner. After all, he is not welcome in Slytherin. And because he is a Slytherin, he is not welcome by students from other colleges. So, except for the professor, few students noticed his transformation.
After seeing Murphy’s situation, the professors all told Professor Snape. Professor Snape’s personality meant that he would never care for his students like an old mother, and he was not a procrastinating professor.
So Snape called Murphy directly to his office, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with Murphy, he just let it go.
However, there were still some students who paid attention to him, such as Hermione Granger from Gryffindor.
“Do you think Murphy is sick? Why is he lying on the table?” Hermione asked Harry Potter with some concern.
“Lying on the table?” Harry raised his head and glanced around. Sure enough, he saw Murphy lying on the table. The Potions professor Snape ignored him and didn’t even check the potion he made. He was immediately envious.
“Do you think Snape would let me go if I pretended to be sick and lay on the table?”
“Don’t try it. I think if you pretend to be sick he will definitely use you to test the medicine.” Hermione quickly stopped him.
Harry Potter thought it made sense and continued to stir the liquid in the crucible helplessly.
“Harry, isn’t he the first classmate you know? Why don’t you go ask him?” Hermione continued to ask in a low voice.
“No.” Harry refused without hesitation. “Yes, Murphy is the first wizard of the same age that I know, but he is a Slytherin and I am a Gryffindor. If I take the initiative to look for him, not to mention competing with others, Ron will scold me!”
“Hmph, it’s useless. I’ll go ask myself later.” Although Hermione said it simply, she understood that she was also a Gryffindor, and a Gryffindor with poor interpersonal relationships. If she took the initiative to find Murphy again, others would not know what to say about her.
But she was really worried about leaving Murphy alone like this.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Hermione ignored Harry’s gaze and deliberately slowed down her movements. She waited until almost everyone had left before she quickly packed up her things and came to Murphy’s side.
At this time, Murphy was still lying on the table with his eyes closed.
Knock, knock, knock! Hermione knocked on the table.
“Is get out of class over?” Murphy was dazed and didn’t even open his eyes before he started stuffing books into his bag.
“The get out of class ended a long time ago. You probably don’t have any classes later. Do you want to go to the library?” Hermione said quickly.
“Hermione?” Murphy finally opened his eyes completely. He looked at Hermione in front of him and asked curiously, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
“If I leave, someone might sleep until tomorrow.” Hermione hesitated for a moment, then said, “Murphy, has something happened to you? Why do you sleep in every class?”
“What could possibly happen to me? I’m just sleepy. You should know that the content I’m learning now is too simple for me, so I get very bored every time I attend class. I tend to get sleepy when I’m bored.”
Although Murphy’s words sounded somewhat perverse, Hermione didn’t believe them at all. She was sure that something was wrong with Murphy, so she just looked at Murphy quietly and listened to him pretending.
Murphy pretended for a long time, but when he saw Hermione’s eyes, he knew that she didn’t believe it at all, so he could only say it helplessly.
“Okay, let’s go for a walk by the Black Lake.”
Soon the two left the Potions classroom and came to the shore of the Black Lake.
At this time, there were a few Gryffindor students by the lake, who happened to be first-year students. When they saw Hermione walking over with a Slytherin student, they were immediately surprised, then whispered something to the two of them with disdain and left.
“They are really annoying, but don’t worry, they are talking about me. You may not know that my nickname in Gryffindor is Miss Know-It-All.” Hermione said quickly to take care of Murphy’s feelings.
“Even if you are Miss Know-It-All, they will definitely hate me even more. After all, I am a Slytherin, an evil Slytherin who knows dark magic!” Murphy said nonchalantly as he sat on the floor.
“Well, that’s just a rumor. I don’t know about other Slytherins, but you must be a good person!” Hermione said without thinking, and then she sat next to Murphy.
“How can it be a rumor? I do know black magic.” Murphy said bluntly.
“Ah?” Hermione stared at Murphy with wide eyes. Looking at Murphy’s serious look, she knew that Murphy was not lying.
“Murphy, I know I can’t help you with my strength, but if you have any problems, you can tell me and I may be able to give you some advice. Dark magic can’t solve the problem. If you hurt your classmates, you will be expelled!”
Seeing Hermione becoming more and more anxious, Murphy couldn’t help but smile.
“Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Why would I hurt my classmates? I only know black magic, I’m not a psychopath. Why would I hurt people for no reason?”
“It’s better not to give a reason. You can tell the professor. I heard about your background from Harry, and you are isolated in Slytherin, so…” Hermione blurted out.
“So I have to use black magic to kill those who isolate me?” Murphy said speechlessly.
“Difficult, isn’t it? Otherwise, why would you learn the dark arts? And you’ve been in such a low state recently. Did someone do something to you?” Hermione said as a matter of course.
“Alas, invisible imagination is the most deadly!” Murphy shook his head with a wry smile, then said to Hermione seriously.
“You were also at the scene of the giant monster. If I really wanted to harm someone, wouldn’t it be more convenient for me to just deform the table and stuff it into that person’s mouth?”
Listening to Murphy’s words, Hermione immediately thought of the scene that night. She also felt that what Murphy said was right, but it was a bit disgusting.
“Then why did you learn the dark arts?”
“There are many things you can do without, but you cannot not know them. Only when you know them, you will know how to prevent them.” Murphy said vaguely. Of course, he only said this to Hermione. After all, she might not be able to accept the use of black magic now, but Murphy certainly would not have any psychological burden. He would use it without hesitation as long as he had the chance.
“Okay, don’t talk about me anymore. I just had insomnia at night and couldn’t sleep. I’ve already told Professor Snape about this. Thank you for your concern.”
Hearing Murphy’s words, Hermione blushed immediately, “Who cares about you? I just want to beat you fair and square!”
After Hermione finished speaking, she probably felt that her words had too many loopholes, so she got up and ran away in a hurry.
Chapter 54: Transfiguration Club (Old Version)
Time passed, and soon it was November. During this period, Murphy also visited the Transfiguration Club organized by Professor McGonagall and gave a well-organized speech.
At the end of his speech, Murphy took out the match from the first class from his pocket.
“This is the beginning of my transfiguration. I saw many things in this match. In my opinion, the essence of transfiguration is to see the deep connection between all things.”
As he spoke, the match in Murphy’s hand changed. It first swelled up and turned into a wooden cork. Before the others showed disappointed looks, the wooden cork changed again. The top began to sink, and the surrounding wood began to become transparent. An exquisite goblet appeared in Murphy’s hand.
Looking at the goblet in his hand, Murphy tapped the wall of the goblet with his magic wand, and countless cracks appeared on the goblet. Just when he was about to leave, Murphy suddenly swung it, and then, amid the exclamations of his classmates, he turned into a rose with its head held high and in full bloom.
“Finally, I would like to quote a sentence from the title page of Elementary Transfiguration Theory as my conclusion: The greatest transfiguration is not to distort matter, but to conform to the desires of all things. Let us all become wizards who can understand the desires of all things.”
As soon as Murphy finished speaking, he won the applause of the whole room. Not only the students, but even Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore, who used the excuse of being the former Transfiguration professor, all applauded enthusiastically.
After the Transfiguration Club ended, Murphy returned to his idle state. He was the same now, and there was no need to worry about things that had not yet come.
In order to relieve boredom, he took time to practice sword flying several times, but now the temperature has dropped sharply and the grass has been frozen hard by frost, so after falling a few times, Murphy stopped improving his sword flying. After all, it is still very painful to fall to the ground.
Murphy, who had nothing to do, turned his attention to scaring the little wizard at night.
But a new problem has also arisen. The emotional value has been getting lower and lower recently, and has even been below 100 for several consecutive nights.
In fact, Murphy was mentally prepared for this situation. After all, foreigners like to commit suicide and have big hearts. This will not change no matter which world they are in.
And they live in a magical world, where supernatural creatures like ghosts are commonplace.
So after making sure that the Dementors had no intention of harming the students, they had become almost immune to this monster that always liked to suddenly appear at night. Now the Dementors were even ranked lower than Peeves, after all, Peeves could still speak and call Filch.
Just as Murphy was thinking about how to add new emotional income points, the Hogwarts Cup arrived quietly.
The first game was between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and Ravenclaw defeated Hufflepuff unexpectedly. Although the students of Hufflepuff were mediocre, their Quidditch Seeker, Cedric Diggory, had always been a star of Hogwarts. He was the best in his grade both academically and in Quidditch.
This is not the case with Ravenclaws. Although their brains are better, their motor nerves are very lacking.
Ravenclaw’s victory in this game was also a team victory. They used very complex and varied tactics. Although Cedric caught the Golden Snitch in the end, the huge score difference allowed Ravenclaw to get off to a good start.
Although Murphy did not go to watch the game, Quidditch had such a large audience at Hogwarts that everyone was discussing the game, so he had to hear about it.
Murphy had never been interested in Quidditch, and now Quidditch had stolen his limelight, causing the young wizards to lose interest in Dementors, which made Murphy hate Quidditch even more. So when Hermione asked him if he was going to watch the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin this Saturday, he decisively said he would not go.
As for why Hermione was with Murphy, it was because after the last conversation at the Black Lake, Hermione also relaxed. After all, compared to those classmates who didn’t understand her at all, a study partner like Murphy was a better choice at this time.
So she often dragged Murphy to the library to do homework, and Murphy had nothing to do, so he agreed.
Anyway, he also had to study the new topic proposed by Professor McGonagall in the Transfiguration Club.
“Is this the topic for the Transfiguration Club?” Hermione looked at Murphy’s parchment curiously.
“This is mine. The others are all senior students. Their topics are different from mine. Theirs are more in-depth.” Murphy answered truthfully.
“I really envy you for being able to join Professor McGonagall’s club. You will surely learn a lot of knowledge that is not available in books.” Hermione said enviously.
“Don’t envy me. I believe that in a few years, you will be able to join the club.” Although Murphy was comforting Hermione, the words that came out of his mouth made Hermione feel inexplicably annoyed.
“If you really want to learn, I can talk to you about it after each session,” Murphy said.
“We have an agreement. You must take good notes every time you attend the club!” Hermione immediately smiled happily.
Murphy was a little distressed. Why did this thing find such a job for him for no reason?
“Oh, by the way, I’m going to look for some books about Quidditch. You don’t know how panicked Harry is right now.”
Although Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, had never let Harry play Quidditch in public, wanting to make him Gryffindor’s secret weapon, the news that Harry was the youngest seeker in history had already spread throughout the school. Under tremendous pressure, Harry had been feeling uneasy this week.
Watching Hermione go to the bookshelf to pick books, Murphy began to recall the contents of the original book.
He has been busy with his own things during this period and has not paid attention to Harry Potter. Now it is time to sort out the timeline.
He remembered that in the original book, Harry Potter determined the name Nicolas Flamel after the Quidditch match. This was not important. What was important was that he would receive the gift from Dumbledore at Christmas, the Invisibility Cloak, one of the Three Deathly Hallows.
Should I find a chance to steal it?
Although there is no moral pressure on Murphy to steal the Invisibility Cloak, Harry Potter losing the Invisibility Cloak would probably cause a series of chain reactions.
I won’t talk about other things, but it’s hard to describe Dumbledore’s reaction. He just gave it away and it was lost.
No, no, the impact is a bit too big. After all, the invisibility cloak also needs to promote the development of the plot.
However, she could use this news to make something of herself. After all, Professor Perry had also said that she wouldn’t dare touch even a single Deathly Hallow!
“How about this one? What do you think?” Just when Murphy was still considering how to bargain with Professor Perry, Hermione came back with a copy of “The Origins of Quidditch”.
