Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Murphy doesn't believe that "Tom was born as a result of a love drug, so he can't feel love".

Are all the births of children in this world the product of love? Isn't it?

Moreover, are all unions between men and women due to love? Isn't it?

There are also women doing in vitro fertilization alone, so how does that count?

According to Murphy, there is only one reason why Tom Riddle became Voldemort and did not understand "love". He has never really felt love and no one has really loved him.

Love is not a natural endowment, but a skill, a technology, just like eating, drinking and walking, it is an ability that needs to be acquired.

Growing up in an environment lacking love, it is normal for Tom not to understand the skills of love.

On the contrary, Harry in the original book is incredibly stronger. In such a growing environment, he still maintained the spark in his heart. To a certain extent, he is indeed stronger than Tom.

Murphy has a plan for Tom. In addition to achieving some goals, it also has certain experimental purposes. He also wants to know what kind of power Dumbledore calls "the most powerful magic".

…

Diagon Alley.

Hermione vomited so hard that she felt like she was going to die.

For an eleven-year-old kid, Apparition was still too exciting.

This time Murphy gave her a bottle of uplifting potion and asked her to drink it.

This thing is similar to a refreshing drug, which can restore some abnormal conditions of the body.

Tom, on the other hand, seemed unresponsive.

His body is actually dead, but Murphy nailed it to Tom's soul through the soul seed, and used some black magic to activate the body's heartbeat, breathing and other systems. His brain only has the same electrical response as in a coma, and he is just a vegetative person driven by Tom's soul.

After a while, Hermione finally regained her energy, and Murphy took the two children to Gringotts first to apply for a student loan for Tom.

Then he took them to buy Tom a crucible, dragon skin gloves, books and other items, of course most of them were second-hand.

Seeing Tom carefully counting the coins in his hand and calculating carefully, Murphy couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He was also very poor when he was in school, and that's how he got here.

So when he saw the owner of the second-hand crucible shop preparing to sell an old crucible to Tom for one galleon, he couldn't help it.

"Boss, this crucible of yours is broken, and it can't be folded. It's also black and gray. It looks like it's been used for at least three years. How dare you charge it so much? Three Sickles, it doesn't get any more expensive. .”

In a protective equipment store, "The cotton inside the gloves is almost exposed, and there is a hole burned here, with up to four Sickles."

Bookstore, "A set of textbooks costs one Galleons? Why don't you go grab it? This isn't a new book! It's in good condition, right? Let's pick it out ourselves."

"Look, this book has no cover. The corners of this book have been chewed. This book is yellowed. With the parchment and pen, there are a total of 9 Sickles. Can I sell it?"

After coming out of the second-hand bookstore, Murphy found a place to sit down, asked for the worn-out books, and began to deal with them.

While handling it, he taught Tom, "This kind of yellowed and old books are not damaged, but just dirty. Most of the mold spots can be removed by cleaning them, and then drying them. For some stubborn stains, you can use alcohol or Try using bright detergent and you can basically restore it to 70% to 80%.”

"The best thing to do without the cover is to make it yourself."

As he spoke, he used his wand to cut the parchment paper to a suitable size and wrapped it around the textbook without a cover. Then he used the wand to create a beautiful cover pattern and stuck it on the book.

"This kind of book with missing book corners is not too damaged and does not affect its use."

As he spoke, he used his wand to cut the damaged corner of the book into an arc, making it look rounded and neat, and not obtrusive.

After everything is processed, the old books no longer look so old, but have a different kind of exquisiteness.

Then he processed the gloves and the crucible again, restoring their functions and making them look much more comfortable.

Hermione was amazed, "It's amazing, these things look as good as new, and they only cost one galleung! I spent thirteen galleons!"

"There is no way, the children of the poor have already become rich." Murphy smiled, "If you don't learn to budget carefully, you won't be able to survive."

"It turns out you are also very...poor?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, very poor. I am an orphan like Tom. My parents are both dark wizards. They died in prison and left little money. At that time, my personality was also quite awkward and not very flexible, so I have always been poor. , it’s been a pretty tight life.”

Tom took a look at Murphy's valuable outfit, and then thinking about the respectful attitude of the goblins in Gringotts towards Murphy, it was hard to imagine that he was once a poor boy.

"Okay, let's go buy school uniforms and wands." Murphy didn't say much and took the two of them to the second-hand robe store.

They bought two robes that fit well, but there was one set of robes left but no one that fit. Tom wanted to buy the remaining set, which was much larger in size, but Murphy stopped him, "What are you left with?" You should have enough money, so let’s go to Madam Malkin to customize a set.”

"But it will cost a lot of money."

"Books and crucibles are for use, so it doesn't matter if they are shabby. But in addition to being comfortable to wear, clothes are also for people to look at. If you dress sloppily, people will always look down on you. This is not because of vanity, but it can save yourself money. Spend more energy focusing on more important things.”

"And finally the wand."

Murphy was about to take them to Ollivander, but he saw the two people and heard their conversation through a crow he placed at a high point in Diagon Alley.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong, Professor?"

"Oh, it's okay, let's go."

But at this moment, Tom suddenly felt something in his heart.

He excused himself that he had forgotten something in the fitting room, so he went back and opened the diary he had brought with him.

I saw that the text above has been updated.

"On my trip to Diagon Alley, I learned a lot from Mr. Murphy."

"But what makes me even happier is that at Ollivander's Wand Shop, I met a lifelong friend."

"We have amazing similarities. Our souls resonate and attract each other. He will become my most loyal friend and most reliable partner."

Tom frowned. He was said to be a person who changed his destiny before, but today he is a lifelong friend.

Why do I feel like this diary smells like a big scam?

But as soon as he thought this, the diary was updated again.

"But I didn't believe in fate, so I deliberately delayed my time and waited for a long time before going to the wand shop. I bought the wand as I wished."

"It was a sunny morning. I was practicing the Splinter spell. Suddenly the wand broke and the spell backfired and hit me."

"I am dead."

"Before I died, I shed tears of regret. If..."

Okay, okay, I'll go. Isn't it okay if I go?

Tom also became curious, who was the lifelong best friend mentioned in the diary?

After a while, Murphy took the two children to Ollivander's Wand Shop.

As soon as he walked into the store, someone walked in behind him. Murphy looked at him and said, "Sirius? Why are you here?"

"Oh, I took Harry on a trip to Egypt before. I just came back yesterday. I sent him to school today, and then I remembered that I hadn't bought him a wand yet."

"Hello, Mr. Darkholm." Harry Potter, who was following Sirius, also saw Murphy and greeted him.

But at this moment, his forehead suddenly felt itchy. He touched the scar on his forehead, and then looked at a boy next to Murphy.

And the other party also saw him.

In an instant, Tom was sure that this was the boy the diary was talking about.

The same thought appeared in the minds of both of them.

"who is he?"

"How come it seems like I've seen it somewhere?"
