Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"What?"

Even though he thought Murphy was a little crazy just now, this sentence still shocked Snape.

"What?" Murphy looked at him, "Do you like Hogwarts very much?"

"Are you serious?" Snape was so drunk that he almost woke up with fear. Quirrell just wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. This guy wanted to blow up the school?

Is this guy the most dangerous dark wizard?

"To be honest, is Hogwarts still necessary to exist?" Murphy said.

"After being away for a few years, I almost forgot what Hogwarts was like, but now I remember it again."

"This school..." Murphy's voice deepened, "It is a lifeless cage, a testing ground, a puppet theater stage..."

"All the professors have a straight face and hope that the students will become fools who can only recite a few spells. No questions, no doubts. The spells must have a perfect tone, and the potions must have the same steps."

"Curiosity? That's poison."

"Exploration? That's the road to death."

"Invention, that's a prank."

"Innovation? Oh, that's a fucking joke!"

"If you ask, why is this so? Why should this spell be recited this way? Why does this potion require these steps?" Murphy sneered, "You will only get one answer: because it has always been like this."

"But, it has always been like this, right?"

"If it is right, why is it right?"

"Professors would say: This is magic."

"But, what the fuck, is magic?"

"I was told that belief is the essence of magic."

"But what the fuck do you mean by believing?"

"You can trust a person, you can trust an emotion, you can trust a belief, but how the hell can you trust an objective reality? Who do you think you are?"

"Belief should come after doubting."

"You must first question, question magic, question science, question all truths, and question yourself. Analyze, analyze again, purify, purify again. Only when you find the only true thing can you completely believe in it."

“Isn’t the so-called belief before this deceiving oneself and others?”

"However...guess what, the person who said he wanted to believe it was the one who doubted humanity the most."

"You mean, Headmaster?" Snape was still conscious.

Murphy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly exhaled, "Yes, I'm talking about Dumbledore."

He is completely different from Dumbledore. Dumbledore believed in magic but doubted people's hearts. He questioned magic but believed in the power of people's hearts more than Dumbledore.

Before entering Hogwarts, he felt that apart from the Sorcerer's Stone, there might be no inevitable conflict between himself and Dumbledore, so he had always had the idea of ​​coexistence and cooperation.

But now that I think about it, maybe the idea of ​​coexisting with Dumbledore was impossible to achieve in the first place.

As long as Dumbledore is around, Hogwarts cannot become what he wants.

The future he wants for the wizarding world is one of reform, progress, and development, while Dumbledore wants to just maintain the status quo and maintain tradition. Their two ideas are so different.

He was like a dark cloud that kept weighing on Murphy's heart, making him feel dull and suffocated.

"Snape, do you want to be the principal?" Murphy asked suddenly.

"What?"

"I am a school director, and I have some friends on the school board. If you want to be the principal, I can help you." Murphy said.

"..." Snape was shocked, "Why me?"

Murphy thought for a while, then raised a finger and pointed at the empty wine bottle on the table, "Shen Feng Wu Ying!"

With a soft hiss, the neck of the wine bottle suddenly slipped down.

"When I was in school, I was relatively poor, so I often needed to use old textbooks. Fortunately, I got a few old books from a senior and learned a lot of useful things from them." Murphy said, "I once worked for I was shocked by that senior’s talent. To be honest, I was far from his level when I was in school.”

"If anyone among the students at Hogwarts has both a smart mind and a spirit of exploration, I think that senior should be among the best."

Wanting Snape to be the headmaster was not just a lie to trick him into drinking.

Compared to Dumbledore, who was completely uncontrollable, Snape was much easier to control, and he was indeed a talent to some extent.

"You..." Snape was a little surprised, "Have you ever gotten my textbook?"

Then he shook his head and said slightly drunkenly, "No, I am not the best. You have never met her. Lily, she is the one with the most ideas."

"Lily Evans?" Murphy said, "Before I came, I did background checks on all the professors. I asked some of your acquaintances."

"I have heard a little bit about Lily Evans. However, that was nearly ten or twenty years ago. Lily had already married and had children. In fact, she had been dead for more than ten years. …”

"You, you don't understand..." Snape said.

"OK." Murphy raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. He picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Snape, and then the two took a few sips again.

"Duang!" When he put the quilt on the table again, Snape was already in a trance.

Drinking like this will make you drunk even with ordinary wine, not to mention that Murphy added some spices.

As for Murphy himself, since he dared to bring Snape, he was naturally prepared. When his fingers touched the cup, he turned everything inside into water.

He is not as upright as Snape.

"So, you haven't forgotten it, have you?" Murphy deliberately continued the topic, "You love her? Do you love Lily Evans?"

There was a "bang", and something heavy seemed to fall outside the compartment door. Murphy's keen hearing heard the sound of several people whispering.

You should use a silencing charm on yourselves, Harry.

However, Snape didn't notice the sound outside at all.

His eyes were a little distracted, and he was silent for a long time after hearing Murphy's words, without denying them.

Under the double attack of alcohol and veritaserum, it was beyond Murphy's expectation that he didn't burst into tears on the spot.

"Even if she has been married a long time ago? Even if she has a child? Even if she has died?"

"Death...can't," Snape said in a somewhat unclear voice, "cannot make people forget, but...makes people miss..."

"Death is... a pause," said the biggest love interest in Hogwarts. "It is an anchor, a stop of time. After she... left, my time stopped moving..."

"My body is wandering in this world..."

"But my... heart, my soul, has always stayed in that time..."

"All I have is the past..."

Snape said, suddenly picking up the wine glass again and pouring all the remaining wine into his stomach.

If you look at it from another angle, Snape is a super licker, the kind that is hopeless.

But at this moment, listening to such a heavy confession from a middle-aged man, it was difficult for Murphy to feel any sarcastic thoughts. Call it love-minded or stupid, but this man has such deep feelings, which is really touching.

However, clinging to the past is not a good thing, not only for him, but also for himself.

What good can a zombie trapped in the past do?

"But time will still move forward, Professor Snape, and no one can really stay in the past."

"If I ask you to let go, you can't do it." Murphy looked at him, "Then have you ever thought about creating a future in which Lily exists?"
