Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"Hagrid?"

Hermione told everyone about the conversation she heard between Murphy and Professor McGonagall, "Maybe we should ask him."

"But we're not familiar with Hagrid," Harry said.

Different from the original work, Harry did not have much contact with Hagrid because he lived with Sirius, and they had not become friends yet. Although he felt that Hagrid should be easier to deal with than the professors, suddenly If you go to ask someone about this, you will definitely be rejected, right?

The foursome were silent for a while, and Hermione suddenly said: "Ron, don't you want a new wand?"

Ron was confused, "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly remembered that Professor Murphy seems to be researching wands recently. He is recruiting wand-making assistants. Maybe he is willing to make a new wand for you."

"But what does this have to do with Hagrid?" Ron couldn't follow the girl's train of thought.

"The place where Professor Murphy makes his wand is right next to Hagrid's hut."

…

Second practical session.

Murphy made some comments and guidance on the proposal reports submitted by each group.

"Team Malfoy, your topic is 'Analysis of the Excellence of Pure Bloods'..."

"Although the format of this question is still too general and too subjective, I have to say that this is indeed a good topic."

Looking at Malfoy's proud expression, Murphy continued:

"However, I suggest changing the name of the topic to: Analysis of the influence of wizard blood on magical abilities."

"In the column on how to implement the research methods and plans, you didn't write anything of value. They were just some fragments of words advocating the lineage theory that you found from nowhere. This is not okay."

"My suggestion is to do a statistical analysis and first define what is pure blood and what is mixed blood. For example, does pure blood mean that there is no Muggle blood going back ten generations, or does it mean that there is no Muggle blood going back five generations? Mixed blood can also be divided into pure blood Blood ratio, such as the proportion of Muggle blood among the above five generations, etc..."

"Then, do a survey and set some items that can reflect the differences in magical abilities, such as academic performance at school, etc., or if conditions permit, you can also set more specific items, such as the results of certain specific subjects, or certain Magic-like abilities, etc.”

"Finally, use these survey data to make a statistical analysis to confirm or falsify the relationship between pure blood and magical abilities."

"As for statistical methods, if you don't know much about them, I can recommend some books to you. "Basics of Statistics", "Statistical Survey", "Regression Analysis", etc... For your topic, you should start by reading these books. I will check your learning progress in the next class."

How can you do research without scanning the papers first? As a tutor, the first step is of course to make a book list.

Malfoy looked shocked.

What?

I just want to take the opportunity to pretend. You want me to study?

Goyle and Crabbe were even more confused. What are the statistics? What is analysis?

The other two Ravenclaw girls and a Hufflepuff boy, who were almost forced here, stared at these three idiots with a look of hatred, "It's all you! You have to write this topic!" "

However, in fact, the experiences of other groups were not much different.

"Team Dean, regarding the research on flying, I suggest you start with the flying principles of broomsticks. My recommended books for you are: "Basic Technology of Flying Broomsticks", "History of the Development of Flying Broomsticks", and other related books about flying. knowledge, such as "The Flight of Birds", "Basic Principles of Several Aircrafts", etc."

"Team Akizhang, are you interested in transformation? This area happens to be my key research area. I suggest you start with "Basic Principles of Animagus". I also have some research books here that I can recommend to you. I believe they will be useful to you. Research will be of some help."

"Hero Team, oh, this is a good name." Murphy looked at the proposal report handed in by Hermione, "About the study of soul and personality. Well... this topic is huge, but the research goals are clearly stated. One is to communicate with the deceased through the study of souls, and the other is to retrieve memories, which is very specific."

Murphy glanced at Harry and Tom sitting below and understood.

"In this case, I suggest you approach it from two aspects. As for talking to the deceased, I suggest you start with ghosts and portraits. Reference books in this area include "Ghost Research" and "How Ghosts Are Created" , "The Kingdom of the Dead", "The Technique of Portraits", "Advanced Production of Portraits", etc."

"About the retrieval of memory, the most worthy of study is of course Legilimency. The spell itself is very complex. Related books include: "Invading the Brain", "Mind Reading", "Legilimency Application Cases", "Walking" "Memory Garden" and so on."

"There are some dangerous books here. I hope you can start with the simple ones first. If you really need to study the banned books, you can come to me for an autograph."

Dozens of groups in the class commented one by one, and Murphy's throat almost started to smoke. The whole afternoon basically passed like this.

Finally, Murphy said: "I will give you a list of the books I mentioned just now. They are available in the library and can be borrowed by yourself. Banned books require my signature, so you can apply in advance. In addition, there are also books in my recommended books. Some of them are Muggle books, I will prepare these for you."

Just as he was about to leave get out of class, Harry stopped him.

"Professor, I heard that you are recruiting wand-making assistants?"

Murphy's recent wand-making career has been rather unsuccessful.

The craft book I got from Ollivander did write down all the steps correctly, but it was vague about the specific details.

For example, when making the wand body, it is not specified how much space should be left in the core of the wand, what are the requirements for the shape and proportion of the wand body, what are the key points in mixing the fusion potion, etc. The most commonly used words are "appropriate amount" and "moderate amount". ", mainly based on feeling.

Moreover, the principle of the wand and the standards for its quality were not mentioned in the book, so Murphy could not find the trick at all. The wand he made based on his feelings was not much different from an ordinary wooden stick.

At first, he thought it was a problem with the wand core, so he used his own hair to make the core. Later, he thought it was a problem with the wood, so Hagrid got a lot of wand wood, but the final product was still unsatisfactory.

Only then did Murphy understand why Ollivander wasn't afraid of being compared to his own craftsmanship. I'm afraid there was indeed some skill in it.

There was no point in trying blindly, and Murphy realized that he needed to find a set of criteria for judging.

To this end, he designed several experiments and prepared to recruit several young wizards to help test them. A few days ago, he posted a recruitment notice on the bulletin board, and the reward was one gold coin per week. Hermione and the others were the first to ask him about this.

Murphy looked at Harry, "Yes, what, you want to try?"

Several young wizards nodded.

"Okay, come with me."

…

Murphy brought several young wizards to Hagrid's hut.

In order to get materials nearby, he built a wooden shed nearby as his wand making studio.

There are only a few simple workbenches inside. One table is filled with various knives, saws, planes and other tools as well as wood waste, and the other table is filled with bottles and jars, which seem to contain some animals. Organization, there is even a potion workbench in the shed, with an automatic stirring cauldron bubbling.

Hagrid was chopping wood outside the hut when he saw Murphy saying hello.

Harry and Ron also greeted Hagrid, and then the two boys winked at Hermione and Tom, and then said to Murphy: "Professor, can we go and chat with Hagrid?"

"certainly."

Harry and Ron went to find Hagrid for information. Murphy glanced at the remaining Hermione and Tom, "How are you two doing in math?"
