Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 180 Hookah

"Lola, I probably won't be in the lab most of the year, so please keep an eye on things here for me."

As Murphy spoke, two lightning ravens emerged from behind him and landed on his arm. He placed them on the bird stand beside him. "This one is called Oogoo, you can call her Miss Pointy Branch, and this one is called Quack-Quack, Mr. Bottle Cap. They can contact me anytime, and if anything happens, they can send me a message. I'll be right back."

Laura stroked the two crows. "Okay."

Then she looked at Murphy, "Your body..."

"It's okay, I can still manage. This time, I'm just going to look for a cure."

Don't be reckless.

"Okay. I'll leave the rest of the time to you."

……

Murphy Apparated to London, then took out a piece of paper, checked Hermione Granger's address on it, and suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning, leaping into the sky.

In Wilsdon, North London, a low-density residential area, a wisp of black smoke rapidly descends from the clouds, transforming into a young man draped in a black robe on the ground.

Murphy glanced at the detached apartment building in front of him and the garage next to it, then checked the house number before stepping forward and ringing the doorbell.

A young woman with long brown hair opened the door, glanced at Murphy, and asked, "How can I help you?"

"Mrs. Granger? I am Professor Murphy Darkholm of Hogwarts. I'm here to meet Miss Hermione Granger. Vice-Headmaster McGonagall should have already delivered the message."

"Oh! Of course!" Mrs. Granger covered her mouth with both hands, letting out a cute sound of surprise. "I'm sorry, you're too young! My goodness! You look like you're only eighteen! Please come in, please come in..."

"No need, we're going to pick up another student later. Is Miss Granger's luggage all packed?"

"Yes, yes, of course. Hermione was so excited last night that she didn't sleep a wink, and she checked her suitcase hundreds of times..."

"Mommy! Is Professor McGonagall here?!" A little girl peeked out from behind Mrs. Granger, saw Murphy, was startled, and then quickly pulled her head back in.

"Hermione, this is Professor Murphy, who's here to pick you up." Madam Granger couldn't help but take a few more glances at Murphy's stunningly handsome face. "My goodness, Hogwarts is truly an amazing school!"

"Hello, Professor." The little girl finally emerged from behind her mother and greeted her somewhat awkwardly.

"Hello, Miss Granger. Now that the luggage is all packed, let's set off. There's still one student we need to pick up."

"Sure, we'll unload your luggage right away. Would you like David to drive you?"

"No need, we'll Apparate there."

"But I have a lot of luggage..." Although she didn't quite understand what Apparition was, Hermione figured it probably didn't have a trunk like a car.

"Let's move out first."

A moment later, Mr. Granger carried Hermione's two large trunks to the door. "I'll take them to you; these two trunks are a bit heavy."

"Need not."

Murphy extended his right hand and aimed a silver ring on his middle finger at the luggage. Suddenly, the luggage floated up and shrank continuously until it became the size of a grain of millet. It approached the ring and then disappeared into a small hole on the ring.

"This is amazing!" The Grangers exclaimed in astonishment. "Is this magic?"

Having experienced two problems with seamless stretch boxes, Murphy was thoroughly fed up with inconvenient storage boxes. To improve this situation, he specially created this seamless stretch ring.

The ring's main body is a cube-shaped hollow titanium alloy block, which has been enchanted with a large number of seamless stretching spells. However, due to its extremely small volume, it can only hold 4 cubic meters of items. Moreover, when taking or taking out items, it is necessary to shrink them using shrinking spells.

However, as a storage ring version 1.0, it basically meets daily needs.

At this moment, giving Muggles a little magical shock is no problem at all.

"Alright, Miss Granger, we should get going," Murphy said, extending a hand. "Grab my arm."

Hermione Granger cautiously reached out a hand and grabbed Murphy's sleeve, then turned to say goodbye to her parents. Immediately afterward, she felt dizzy and, when she reappeared, she was at the entrance of an orphanage.

"vomit……"

The feeling of being thrown into a washing machine was too much for the girl to bear. She immediately ran to the side, leaned against the wall, and began to dry heave.

Murphy had already rang the doorbell.

……

"Dear Mr. Brettson: We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to Hogwarts. In view of your special circumstances, the school will assign Professor Murphy Darkholm to help you with some pre-enrollment preparations. He will arrive at your location before September 1st."

Tom looked at the letter the owl had delivered two days ago, but his heart was heavy.

He felt that he did not doubt the authenticity of the letter.

But why?

Why doesn't he doubt anything about something as outrageous as magic?

Have I seen this before?

In those memories I can't recall?

He opened the diary again and looked at the latest entry.

"September 1st, 9:00 AM. I met the person who changed my destiny."

Based on my Hogwarts admission letter, this person should refer to the professor who came to help me with my pre-admission preparations.

Murphy Darkholm?

Why was he the one who changed my destiny?

What is my destiny?

Suddenly, the diary was updated, with new text appearing.

"I met Murphy Darkholm. I didn't believe he could influence my fate, so I spat at him."

"Professor Murphy was angry. He left me behind, and I went to Diagon Alley alone."

"It was a beautiful, sunny morning. I took a wrong turn and ended up in a dark alley. 'Your hairstyle is nice; it would be perfect for a hookah,' I heard someone say."

"I am dead."

"Before I died, I shed tears of regret. If I hadn't angered Professor Murphy, I wouldn't have gone to Diagon Alley, I wouldn't have taken the wrong turn, and I wouldn't have been turned into a hookah..."

"If only time could turn back, how wonderful that would be..."

Uh……

Tom was dumbfounded.

Why would I spit at someone?

Suddenly, the words in the diary disappeared, and new content appeared.

"September 1st, 9:00 AM. I met the person who changed my destiny."

"I met Murphy Darkholm. I didn't believe he could influence my fate, so I threw my stinky sock at him."

"Professor Murphy is angry... 'Your head shape is nice; it would be perfect as a hookah.'..."

"I'm dead. If only time could turn back..."

Is this the problem?

So you're going to throw your smelly socks at me if I don't spit on them?

Does the guy in this diary have some serious illness?

"September 1st, 9:00 AM. I met the person who changed my destiny."

"I met Murphy Darkholm. I don't believe he can influence my fate; I didn't do anything."

"But Professor Murphy was still angry, and he left me... with my hookah..."

What?

Why are you angry even though I'm not doing anything?

What's going on with Murphy?

That's such a bad temper!

"September 1st, 9:00 AM. I met the person who changed my destiny."

"I saw Murphy Darkholm. He was angry, hookah..."

You fucking...

No preliminary steps are needed, right? Just generate energy directly from nothing, right?

Tom was convinced.

Okay, okay, just don't make him angry, right?

But how do we do it?

As he pondered, his diary was updated again.

"September 1st, 9:00 AM. I met the person who changed my destiny."

"I met Murphy Darkholm. I didn't believe he could influence my fate, but I didn't want to upset him, so I put on a smile and said, 'Thank you for coming all this way, thank you.'"

Professor Murphy was very happy; he thought I was a sensible and good child.

"I made it to Diagon Alley without incident, and my fate of certain death was changed."

"Murphy Darkholm, he truly changed my life!"

Gan!

Tom couldn't hold back any longer. "You've been talking to yourself the whole time! And this is supposed to change my fate?!"

He felt the diary was simply making fun of him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Lucas, Professor Murphy is here to pick you up."
