Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"What are you talking about, Professor Darkholm?"

Professor McGonagall took the letter in confusion and frowned after reading it.

"Oh, okay." She understood. "There's some misunderstanding."

She glanced at the students who were leaving the classroom one after another, "I happen to have something to ask your opinion about the corridor on the fourth floor. But this is not the place to talk about it. Let's go to my office to talk. "

The two professors left, and Hermione emerged from under the stairs with a confused look on her face.

Is Hagrid involved in the Gringotts robbery?

What's going on in the fourth floor corridor?

But flying lessons were about to start, so she had to pack up and prepare to go downstairs to take lessons.

…

On the other side, Professor McGonagall's office.

This is a study-like room on the second floor. There is a glass window that can see the Quidditch pitch outside. At this moment, dozens of new students are standing noisily outside, and they are preparing to take their first flying lesson.

"Professor McGonagall, can you explain now?"

"Of course, Murphy." McGonagall nodded and returned the letter to Murphy, "Actually, Principal Dumbledore has already explained it to the Aurors before, but this matter is very confidential, and the person handling the case The Aurors may not know the inside story yet."

"oh?"

"Actually, it's all about the Philosopher's Stone..."

McGonagall explained the whole thing: Nicolas Flamel discovered that someone was trying to get his Philosopher's Stone, so he discussed it with his friend Dumbledore and gave the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore for safekeeping.

Dumbledore sent Hagrid to Gringotts Vault 713 during the summer vacation to take away the Sorcerer's Stone and bring it back to Hogwarts. Subsequently, a robbery occurred at Gringotts, but the other party did not steal anything.

"The Philosopher's Stone..." Murphy pretended to ponder for a while, "So, Hagrid was ordered to get something. It has nothing to do with the robbery. So what is the so-called extremely bad file?"

"Ah, that happened a long time ago, about... fifty years ago." Professor McGonagall said, "At that time, Hagrid was reported to have opened the secret room of Hogwarts, which led to the death of a student. die……"

"Of course Dumbledore has guaranteed that Hagrid is innocent in this matter. If you have come into contact with Hagrid, you will know that although he looks very rough... he is a very gentle person."

Murphy looked relieved, "That's it. You're right. I've been chatting with Hagrid a lot recently. I like him very much, and I don't really believe that he can do anything terrible."

"The corridor on the fourth floor you mentioned before...?"

"In order to protect the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore asked several professors to set up a trap behind the trap door in the corridor on the fourth floor. If you have time, you can also set up a puzzle."

"So, is this why the corridor on the fourth floor is classified as a restricted area?" Murphy frowned, "To protect the Sorcerer's Stone?"

"Yes."

"Those traps should be dangerous, right?" Murphy said, "Especially for students?"

"Yes, that's why students are prohibited from going there."

"Why do you do this?"

"What?" Professor McGonagall didn't understand what he meant.

"Hogwarts is not a bank or a vault, but a school. Why would a school protect the Philosopher's Stone?" Murphy questioned, "Even risking the students being harmed?"

"Although I admire Principal Dumbledore very much, I don't agree with his approach."

"I don't think it's appropriate for children to be put at risk for the principal's personal commitment."

"This..." Professor McGonagall was stunned.

Why is it that every time what my former student says seems so reasonable that I can't refute it...

But after thinking about it, she felt that Murphy's words were a bit too exaggerated.

"Professor Dumbledore asked the professors for help on a personal basis, and did not order everyone to protect the Philosopher's Stone as the principal." McGonagall said, "Besides, that corridor has long been abandoned."

"Oh, okay, of course," Murphy did not continue to press, "Sorry, Professor. I am not questioning you and Professor Dumbledore. It's just that as a school director, it is my responsibility, and I must think more about the students."

Murphy was curious about what Dumbledore would do if these words reached him.

If he really had students' interests at the forefront, he would probably remove the hallway layout, or at least change it.

But if he didn't do this, it would be enough to prove that he had other arrangements and considerations for the students - or for Harry.

This must be confirmed.

Because it directly represents Dumbledore's two different purposes, whether it is simply to protect the Sorcerer's Stone, or to test Harry.

If it were the latter, the script for Harry's part of the story wouldn't have changed much.

The person who goes to get the Philosopher's Stone must be Harry Potter.

If this changed, he would have to face Dumbledore.

…

On the other side, as soon as the little wizards started class, Neville flew into the sky and broke his arm. Mrs. Hooch had to take him to the infirmary first.

"Oh my God, poor Neville." Hermione was even more afraid to touch the broom.

"Maybe we should study the kind of flying that Dean mentioned." Tom frowned and looked at the broom on the ground. He felt that he didn't like this thing very much.

Today was Gryffindor and Slytherin class, so Tom and Harry were next to Hermione.

Harry was eager to try, but Mrs. Hooch had just warned them sternly not to touch the broom, so he could only sigh and stand there honestly.

"You guys said, what's in the corridor on the fourth floor?" Hermione suddenly asked.

"Isn't that a restricted area?" Harry asked.

"Why do you want to know this?" Tom asked.

Because I'm curious!

Judging from the mysterious looks of the two professors, there must be some secret in the corridor on the fourth floor.

"Hey, look what this is?!"

Suddenly, a voice attracted everyone's attention, and Malfoy raised a memory ball.

…

In the office.

Murphy has left, saying before leaving that he would consider adding traps.

Professor McGonagall mused.

She never questioned Dumbledore's decision, and she never thought there was anything wrong with placing the Philosopher's Stone in the school.

But now that I think about it, have we ignored the interests of students too much?

This Murphy is really a peculiar child. He can always ask questions from unexpected angles and always see things that others cannot.

Perhaps, we should ask Dumbledore why he would want to put the Philosopher's Stone in the school?

Professor McGonagall thought for so long that she almost missed the good show outside the window.

It wasn't until Harry Potter made a beautiful sudden stop when he almost hit her window and grabbed the memory ball in his hand that she suddenly came back from her thoughts.

"Harry Potter?"

She looked at the ball in the opponent's hand, and an idea came to her mind: This child should be a seeker!

As for first years not being able to play Quidditch?

Oh, there are always exceptions.

Suddenly, she understood what Dumbledore was doing.

Teaching is work, but professors also have their own lives. By always putting the interests of students first, professors may lose their own lives.

Hogwarts is school to the students. But for many professors, this is their home.

As the principal, Dumbledore was not only responsible for the students, he was also responsible for the professors.

This may be difficult for Murphy to understand.

…

Just when Harry and Malfoy were arguing, Tom suddenly felt something.

When he saw the crowd looking at Harry, he turned around and took out his notes from his arms.

"Main mission: Exploring the secrets of the corridor on the fourth floor."

"Mission goal: Find out what is hidden in the corridor on the fourth floor."

"Mission reward: Increased magic power. Flying spell."
