At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly felt that Voldemort might not be a very big threat. He was too simple, simple and easy to predict.

But Murphy...

"Professor," Murphy looked at him with worry on his face, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell us. We will all understand you. We always believe in you."

"Do you believe...?" Dumbledore even felt a hint of fear.

Murphy Darkholm, what do you believe?

Finally, he sighed, "Because my mistake caused the death of a student, I should bear this responsibility. I will resign as the principal and leave Hogwarts."

After saying that, he was ready to leave. He had too many things to investigate.

"Wait, Principal," Murphy stopped him, "The Philosopher's Stone... was given to me by the teacher, are you..."

"Oh, sorry, Murphy." Dumbledore looked at him, "I can't do it for the time being. I need to investigate these things for the time being. I'm not sure yet about the authenticity of that will..."

"Professor Dumbledore," Winston Robinson said very dissatisfied, "We have confirmed it. Please return the Philosopher's Stone to Mr. Murphy."

"I'm afraid I can't, everyone," Dumbledore said.

He still didn't know why Murphy needed the magic stone, but he now regarded Murphy as an enemy. What the enemy wanted could not be given to him easily.

"Professor," Murphy's expression also turned cold, "You can go investigate, but at least the Philosopher's Stone as evidence should be kept by the Auror or the Watcher, and you cannot take it away!"

Following his words, several Watchers blocked Dumbledore's path.

"I'm afraid I won't be captured without mercy." Dumbledore said.

"Are you going to disobey the law, Professor?"

Dumbledore looked at him, "You're not the law yet, Murphy."

Murphy frowned, took out his wand and pointed at the ground, "Anchor of Space!"

However, the next moment, a high-pitched bird song appeared above everyone's heads out of thin air, followed by a boom.

In a blinding flash of light, Dumbledore disappeared.

It was also expected by Murphy that Dumbledore would not surrender.

And it's not realistic to kill him in front of so many professors - not to mention that it's impossible to do it 80% of the time.

Just let him go, it's not a bad thing if he doesn't get in the way.

It was a pity for the Philosopher's Stone, but fortunately he had already obtained Nicoléme's notes, so he could go back and study it and make it himself.

However, Dumbledore's sudden disappearance still surprised many wizards. This could be regarded as Dumbledore's interference with law enforcement. Although it was not enough to issue him a wanted order because of this, it also allowed the school board to remove him from his position. There was no hesitation at all.

As a result, Albus Dumbledore officially became the "former principal" of Hogwarts. As for the candidate of the new principal, the school board has not yet reached a conclusion, but with the support of Murphy, Professor Flitwick was temporarily appointed. Acting principal.

As for Tom's death, since the facts were clear and the main culprit Quirrell was dead, the Aurors and Watchers unanimously agreed to close the case and no longer pursue the other professors and students involved in the incident.

A few days later, the Daily Prophet published a report on "Voldemort's conspiracy to resurrect", revealing to the public the fact that Voldemort was not dead yet and was still hiding in the dark and preparing to make moves.

The Ministry of Magic also issued a statement. In order to deal with this situation, it decided to expand the law enforcement force of the Ministry of Magic, expand the recruitment of Aurors and Wardens, absorb a large number of recent and past graduates into the Ministry of Magic, and train them.

At the same time, the Ministry of Magic will also conduct an internal inspection, draw a team of wizards from the Watchers, and set up a "picket force" to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Ministry of Magic's internal employees to avoid the infiltration of Death Eaters.

That being said, in fact, this is the method used by Murphy to purge the Ministry of Magic and completely turn it into his own puppet government.

He will reshuffle all the real power departments in the Ministry of Magic, support the obedient ones to important positions, and throw all dissidents, including Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix members, into something similar to Centaur Liaison Go somewhere like that.

After this year, Barty Crouch and Murphy's two major violent forces - the Auror Command and the Watcher Force - have established a firm foothold, enough to carry out such a purge operation.

On Murphy's side, after taking the elixir, his physical symptoms were greatly relieved again. According to the doctors, one bottle of the elixir should be able to extend his life by about a year, and he still has four bottles of the elixir in his hand. , at least in the past few years, he doesn't have to worry too much about sudden death.

Although the problem of genetic disorders still exists, with time to breathe, these can be slowly solved.

Therefore, Murphy ended his mission as "Hogwarts Teaching Investigator" and left the school.

One day in July, a funeral was being held in a cemetery.

Murphy watched the coffin being buried and placed the last bouquet of flowers at the grave.

After the crowd dispersed, Murphy looked at a tree behind him and said, "Since you are all here, why don't you come and say goodbye?"

A figure gradually emerged from the shade of the tree. The white-haired wizard slowly walked out, "I don't want to disturb Flamel's funeral."

"You won't," Murphy said. "Now everyone has dispersed, and I haven't prepared any traps here. I'm not sure I can kill you yet."

"Really?" Dumbledore smiled, "That's really an honor."

He came forward and placed a bouquet of flowers in his hand in front of the tomb. "I thought it would be a little later. I knew he had left enough elixir for himself. Maybe he had already prepared it, but For those who are still alive, they can’t help but still feel a little bit of regret.”

"Yeah, that's why I don't want to die." Murphy said, "I don't know if the so-called world after death really exists, so I will hold on to my life and do whatever it takes to do this. Seriously, you I would be very grateful if you could return the Philosopher's Stone to me."

"Sorry, Murphy, although I know that the will is true, I am not sure under what circumstances Flamel made that decision. I would rather be a robber who robs other people's inheritance than dare to take it away." Put it in your hands. Maybe you can tell me what you want to use it for?"

"Do some experiments, like I did before, discover the purpose of the magic stone, and then use it to become stronger, something like that."

"Power, is it power you want?" Dumbledore asked.

"That's right," Murphy said, "but power is only part of it. I want to live a more comfortable life, and I also want to find more like-minded people to explore some interesting things with me."

"Even if doing so would expose the wizarding world? Even if it might bring huge trouble to the wizards?"

"Utopia is a fairy tale, Professor. Are we going to live in a fairy tale forever?"
