Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

But Sirius didn't look convinced.

"If you mean that he used potions to earn some Muggle gold coins..." Sirius shook his head, "I think my ancestors did similar things. Of course, this kind of thing is illegal, and It would cause some trouble, but I don’t think it would be very dangerous.”

"Murphy is not a fool. If he wants to continue to make Muggle money in this way, he cannot expose our existence. This will give him countless competitors."

Dumbledore nodded, "So at the beginning, I didn't think Murphy Darkholm was an enemy. I just thought he wanted to make some money in this way."

"But what if his goal isn't money at all?"

"Not money?" Sirius didn't quite understand. "Is there anything else that Muggles can provide but wizards can't give him?"

"Unfortunately, there is," Dumbledore sighed, "that is reason."

"I have only recently figured out Murphy's thoughts. Although I still don't know the source of his thoughts, he is longing for a kind of power...more powerful than immortality and more powerful than Voldemort's desire. He seems to want Complete control of magic, more profound and complete control of magic than any wizard ever had."

"To this end, he chose the power of reason. This is what Muggles call 'science'. Muggles are better at rational thinking than wizards, and Murphy seems to want to borrow the minds of Muggles to achieve his own goals. Purpose."

"And in doing so, he will have to expose his magic to Muggles."

Sirius blinked, and it took him a while to understand the logic.

He found it a bit unbelievable, and even couldn't understand the idea at all.

In order to better control magic, you seek help from Muggles?

Not to learn more spells, not to consult a leading wizard like Dumbledore, but from a Muggle who knows nothing about magic? !

What kind of brain circuit is this?

However, since Dumbledore said it, that should be the case.

He began to think that Murphy was a little crazy, but if he was just a lunatic, Dumbledore would not take him so seriously.

But there was still one thing he didn't understand, "Professor, why is violating the confidentiality law so dangerous?"

"Of course, I know about the witch hunts."

"But, wizards are stronger than Muggles who don't know magic, right? Even if our existence is exposed, the ones in danger should be Muggles, not wizards, right?"

"Besides, it wasn't more than three hundred years ago now. Will Muggles still kill us just because we are wizards?"

This is also a common view among wizards today.

It is precisely because of this that in most countries, wizards are careless about complying with the Wizarding Secrecy Law and do not feel that it is terrible to expose their existence.

"Things are not as we imagined..." Dumbledore sighed, "Muggles are much more powerful than we thought. Moreover, once the law of secrecy is broken, the enemies we have to face are not just Muggles. There are many things that are more troublesome than Muggles."

Sirius heard something different, "What do you mean? What kind of situation will we face?"

Dumbledore was silent for a while, and finally shook his head, "I can't say. However, you just need to know that I am not alarmist. The law of secrecy is related to the life and death of all wizards."

"To stop Darkholm, my own strength has proven to be insufficient. I need you, Sirius, can you help me?"

Sirius was silent for a long time, but finally shook his head, "Sorry, Professor. I still have a child to protect, and I may not be able to fight for you as much as I did in the past. And, Darkholm... If our enemy is Voldemort, I know, unless he is defeated we will all live in his shadow. But...Murphy..."

Although Dumbledore's words just now seemed quite reasonable, Sirius believed in his own intuition more. He really didn't think Murphy was a bad person.

If it was just because he and Dumbledore had different ideas, it would be difficult for Sirius to see the other party as an enemy. Under such circumstances, putting himself and Harry in a dangerous situation would be putting the cart before the horse.

Dumbledore left, leaving behind a feather and asking Sirius to think again and to contact him at any time if he changed his mind.

Before leaving, he also asked about Lupine's whereabouts. After learning that Lupine might be doing things for Murphy, Dumbledore looked a little hurt.

When he walked out of the hut, Harry watched from the second floor. He felt inexplicably that the headmaster, who seemed to him to be omnipotent in the past, looked even older, like an ordinary old man who was stumbling.

…

September.

School starts at Hogwarts.

But this time, although the freshmen after admission will still be divided into four specific colleges according to tradition, the four colleges no longer have the same tense relationship as in the past. The lounges of the four colleges are connected by a fireplace. You can mix and sit at the dining table, classes are basically together, and cross-college collaboration groups are mandatory.

In addition to these changes, Professor Dumbledore, the savior of Hogwarts and the headmaster for nearly fifty years, left the school and was replaced by Professor Severus Snape.

In fact, Murphy originally planned to let Professor Flitwick directly succeed him as the principal, while poaching Snape to his own research institute to contribute to the research on the Philosopher's Stone.

But Snape took this opportunity to threaten him, saying that if he was not allowed to be the principal, he would not help Murphy.

In order to satisfy the obsession of this official fan, Murphy had no choice but to agree to him.

But Snape just wanted to be a headmaster. In fact, apart from attending some important occasions and delivering some unimportant speeches, he didn't really need to do much as a headmaster. Most of the time, he was still Do research on the Philosopher's Stone.

Now that Snape has become the headmaster, the position of Potions Professor has become vacant. Murphy sent someone to find Slughorn and promised him a large salary, finally impressing him.

The school also hired Remus Lupin as a professor of "Protective Magic". As for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Murphy canceled it directly.

Voldemort put a curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship, right?

Then can I just cancel this position?

Even the classroom is no longer in use and has been converted into a torture practice room for the gatekeeper Filch. Anyway, he curses the little wizard every day. He is a master of curses, which just happens to counteract the evil in this room, fighting fire with fire.

At the same time, several courses such as "Muggle Studies", "Astronomy", "Number Divination", and "Divination" were changed to electives.

Murphy also hired four Muggle scientists transformed into werewolves. They will teach the four basic science general courses of "Physics", "Chemistry", "Biology" and "Mathematics" respectively to improve Hogwarts. Scientific literacy for little wizards.

In addition, the school's examination system will be changed from one examination a year to four major examinations a year and one small examination every month. At the same time, evening self-study, evening classes and other courses will be added to ensure learning results. In the future, Murphy will also Consider launching running exercises, military training, swearing-in meetings and other events online as appropriate.

With the blessing of my Huanggang model, why worry about students not being able to cast even an armor spell after graduation?

While Hogwarts was undergoing major changes at the hands of Murphy, the Muggle society was not idle either.

The Soviet Union's "National Laboratory Plan" has entered the planning stage, and the construction of major laboratories in the UK is also in full swing.

Just when everything was looking good, news suddenly came from Gringotts.

"Gold exchange is banned?"
