Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

In August, Murphy Darkholm donated 50,000 gold galleons to Hogwarts to improve the salary, food and accommodation conditions of the school teachers.

And donated another 100,000 gold galleons as the Hogwarts Express repair fund.

In the same month, as Albert Runcorn had been missing for nearly two months and was rumored to have been killed by Pettigrew, Lucius Malfoy, the director of the Hogwarts School Board, asked the board to re-elect a director. Replaces Albert Runcorn who is likely to be unable to continue in his duties.

The proposal was quickly approved, and Murphy Darkholm, who had recently made outstanding contributions to the cause of Hogwarts, naturally became a key candidate.

The school board held a general meeting and spoke to all candidates in turn.

Although several other candidates showed full enthusiasm for education and proposed many insightful school education reform plans, Murphy easily defeated them.

When asked what methods Murphy would use to improve the quality of school teaching, Murphy said: "I will increase investment in schools."

When asked what he would do to improve teachers' enthusiasm for teaching, Murphy said: "I would double their salary."

Asked how school boards could be given a better role in school governance, Murphy said: "Every school board should be rewarded for their hard work."

True to his word, Murphy immediately donated 10% of the share income of the Supreme Potion Store as a management fund to maintain various expenses of the school board.

In mid-August, Murphy was elected as Hogwarts school director with a high vote.

But Murphy ran into trouble just after he took office.

First, the Daily Prophet published an article titled "The Employment Rate Continues to Decline, What's Happening to Our Education?" "Commentary article.

The article pointed out through rigorous data investigation that the employment rate of Hogwarts graduates has dropped from 30% in 1945 to less than 15% this year.

A large number of students face the dilemma of being unemployed upon graduation. This employment rate is not only far lower than the 27% of the American wizarding school Ilvermorny, but is even inferior to Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, the three major wizarding schools in Europe. .

"Is this a problem with our society or with school education?"

Although "The Quibbler" is quick to point out that the size of American wizarding society far exceeds that of the British wizarding community, Ilvermorny's high employment rate cannot be used as a comparison standard. Durmstrang and Beauxbatons are both closer to international schools. Compared with Hogwarts, which mainly recruits and exports students to the UK, employment issues are easier to solve.

But Rita Skeeter's article still sparked a lot of discussion.

Soon, in response to this matter, the Ministry of Magic decided to hold a hearing at an optional date and asked the Hogwarts School Board to make a report and explanation.

At Murphy's suggestion, the school board launched a comprehensive investigation and evaluation of the performance of duties by all Hogwarts faculty and staff.

On August 19, after four years, Murphy returned to Hogwarts again.

The Hogwarts Astronomy Tower was arranged as a venue. Twelve school directors formed a jury, sitting in a ring, listening to the work reports of the Hogwarts faculty and staff sitting in the center.

The first person to be judged was Argus Filch, the Caretaker of Hogwarts.

"Mr. Filch, your main job is to guard the gate of Hogwarts and be responsible for cleaning and patrolling the school, right?"

Filch worked hard to dress up today, wearing a hat that looked more than a century old, "Yes, yes, distinguished director."

"What do you think about students' compliance with discipline?" one director asked.

"Oh, those little things are so arrogant! They don't take the school rules seriously at all. They hang out in the school in the middle of the night, have shameless trysts with male and female students, and use a lot of items that violate the rules, especially the Weasley family. of……"

"Are you saying that the school's performance in student discipline is not ideal?"

"Ah...that's not what I meant sir, I meant...they are not obedient enough..."

"Do you have any suggestions on how to keep students disciplined?"

"My opinion, I think, must be severely punished! Sir, we must not let them go. We must hang up the students who have made mistakes and give them a few whips, so that they will realize their mistakes..."

"You mean, corporal punishment? Abuse of students?"

"This, I, I think..."

"What's up with the handcuffs and torture devices in your office? Have you ever used them on students?"

"No, no, although I want to teach them some lessons, Dumbledore..."

Several directors looked at each other, some shook their heads, and someone else asked: "You are a squib, right?"

"I, I...I'm not, I..."

"Okay, gentlemen." Murphy in the school boardroom suddenly said, "He is just an old and poor janitor. I don't think he can hurt the students, so let him go."

The second person to be judged was Professor Sybill Trelawney.

"Professor Trelawney, I heard that your ancestor is the famous prophet Cassandra?"

"Yes, yes," Trelawney said, visibly nervous, "she's my great-great-grandmother."

"So, you do have the blood of a prophet." A female director said, "I'm sorry, because we haven't really seen prophecies like this for many years. Can you show it to us?"

"Of course... of course..." Trelawney nervously picked up the crystal ball and murmured to herself. After a while, she showed a scary expression, raised her face and looked at the people around her, "Thirteen people , gather together, the first person to stand up will die."

The female director frowned, "Are you threatening us?"

"No, no," Trelawney became even more nervous, "I also have a prophecy. A man with two faces appears, and he will definitely bring disaster and death..."

She spoke with a high-pitched voice. The directors were almost shocked. Even Murphy frowned, thinking that a real prophecy had appeared. However, at this time, due to Trelawney's excessive movements, The crystal ball fell from her hand and hit the ground, shattering into pieces with a snap.

"Oh! A bad omen! This is a bad omen! All of us are under the evil gaze!"

"That's enough!" The female director caressed her chest, "I don't want to hear this crazy woman continue to talk nonsense."

The third person questioned was Professor Binns.

"A ghost?"

The fourth is Professor Flitwick.

"A goblin?"

And then there's Hagrid.

"giant!"

Finally there is Quirrell.

"Merlin's stinky socks! He can't even say a word clearly!"

By the time the review was completed, the faces of the school directors were as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"I think the reason why Hogwarts' teaching quality has declined year after year has been found."

"Gentlemen, I think you have misunderstood the true level of professors..." Dumbledore wanted to explain a few more words.

This kind of questioning is very unfair to the professors under him. Most of them are lonely guys, and they simply cannot respond to this kind of situation in their best condition.

However, the opinions of the school directors are very unified. An elderly school director said:

"Albus, we trust your ability, but we cannot agree with the teaching level of your professors! The reputation of Hogwarts is being ruined! And all of this is because of these unqualified professors!"

"We ask you to expel these guys immediately. Hogwarts is a school! It is not a place for you to adopt homeless people with mercy! We must be responsible for our students!"

"My professors are not tramps, Phillips, they are just a little lonely..." Dumbledore tried hard to defend.

"Is this a suitable character for a professor to be lonely?" a school director asked.

"And that Snape," a school director also said, "he looks like a dark wizard! If such a professor is allowed to teach children, what will the British wizarding world look like in the future?"

"Everyone!" Just when Dumbledore was tired of dealing with it, Murphy suddenly said.

"Everyone! We just came to the school today, and our contact with the professors was limited to these short ten or twenty minutes. Based on our performance in these ten minutes, we deny their teaching results. I I think it's probably very unfair to them."
