Lu Mingfei: Hogwarts repeater

Chapter 116 Yes, Professor Quirrell is my junior student

The Leaky Cauldron looks so unassuming, so dirty and cramped that if you don't look closely, you might even miss it.

However, Lu Mingfei has been here many times and is already familiar with it.

He led Harry straight inside and observed the reaction of the entire bar.

After discovering that Harry's reputation among wizards was higher than imagined, Lu Mingfei already had a complete plan to make money.

No one would mind having too much money, not to mention that he still needs a lot of money to provide precious materials for Professor Snape to make and research potions.

Research and development has always been a bottomless pit.

Even if Professor Snape is a master of potions, there has been no further progress in the past few years after making Dragon Blood Potion No. 3.

Because Snape had already thought of the existing and known properties of the potion materials, and Potion No. 3 was already the best choice.

The rest can only be tried with new potion materials whose properties are completely unknown.

To be honest, when Lu Mingfei mentioned Tom, he always felt a strange sense of violation.

If a new, stronger dragon blood potion is developed, it can directly increase one's own combat power.

The atmosphere of the scene felt a bit like a horror movie for a while.

Even if Professor Snape was the master of potions, it would be impossible for him to master all of this. In that case he wouldn't be the Potions Master, he should be the Potions God!
Therefore, it can only be piled up with money.

"No, thank you, Mr. Tom." Lu Mingfei waved his hand and replied.

Why should the opportunity to make money be given for free? Wouldn’t that be a big loss!
But just as he was pulling Harry and preparing to run away, a voice stopped him, "Lu... Lu, senior Mingfei..."

The name "Tom" is just like "Zhang Wei". If you shout it on the street, more than a dozen people will answer. A person who wants to do big things should really change his name, otherwise he will appear to have no character...

"Professor Kino?" Lu Mingfei recognized the person, "Why are you here?"

Lu Mingfei noticed that Harry subconsciously leaned towards him.

Lu Mingfei thinks it makes sense for Tom Riddle to change his name to Voldemort.

This is just like materials science, which basically depends on luck. It is jokingly called not science but metaphysics!

The voice was stammering, but it sounded very familiar. Lu Mingfei was very sure that this was someone he knew, so he had to stop and look in that direction.

Changing the pronunciation of a spell may cause the spell to have a completely different effect, and this is especially true for potions. The replacement of a material, the cooking time and the temperature change... may cause completely unknown mutations.

It was a pale young man.

"Yes, but sorry, we have a mission." Finding that some customers were already getting up, Lu Mingfei decided to drag Harry away.

No amount of money is too much to spend on life-saving things. Otherwise, what else would you do with so much money, but use it as a coffin?
"Hey, Mr. Lu Mingfei," the bar owner greeted Lu Mingfei, "Would you like some drinks?"

This is why Lu Mingfei seizes the opportunity to make money so much... That's really a shortage!

This name seemed to have magic power, making the entire Leaky Cauldron Bar, which was originally noisy, dark and chaotic, suddenly quiet. All the customers stopped what they were doing and looked here.

Logically speaking, these customers can't do anything, they just ask to shake Harry's hand and hug him, but... these are all money!

Thinking about it carefully, maybe it was because Professor Dumbledore always called him "Tom" every time he mentioned Voldemort, so that he had some PTSD symptoms?

"Oh my god, is this..." Boss Tom noticed Harry next to Lu Mingfei, "Harry Potter?"

"Ma, school is about to start, come on, take a rest." Professor Quirrell stuttered in reply, "Senior Lu Mingfei, is this, is this Harry?"

"Yeah..." Lu Mingfei looked at the customers who had stood up from their seats because he was delayed, and sighed helplessly, "Honestly, Quirrell, the timing for you to stop me was not very good. .”

"Hug, I'm sorry, Senior Lu Mingfei." Professor Quirrell twisted his hands, looking very nervous, "Can I shake hands with Harry..."

"If you ask me, you will have to teach courses in the future anyway, so there are plenty of opportunities."

Lu Mingfei said, introducing Harry, "Harry, this is the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts, Professor Quirrell. I think you won't mind having one more ' O' right?"

As a child who grew up in the Muggle world, Harry took Muggle studies courses as an elective, which was a dimensionality reduction attack, just like Chinese students who choose Chinese elective courses abroad.

The professors had to keep an eye on him when he was giving lectures, because whenever he made any movement, the professors would wonder if he had made a mistake. "Hello, Professor Quirrell." Harry obviously understood what Lu Mingfei meant and took the initiative to extend his hand to Professor Quirrell.

"Oh, I'm no longer the Muggle Studies professor. Last year, the Dark Arts...Defense professor resigned, and I replaced him." Professor Quirrell shook hands with Lu Mingfei and suddenly chuckled nervously.

"What?" Lu Mingfei frowned and looked at Professor Quirrell, "Why?"

Harry looked up at Lu Mingfei in confusion, not understanding why his tone suddenly became serious.

"I think, Harry, there is no need to... take this course, right?" Professor Quirrell did not answer Lu Mingfei's question.

After saying this, he muttered "I'm going to... buy a new book about vampires" with obvious fear in his tone, and then left in an extremely strange way.

Customers in the tavern gathered around Lu Mingfei, who was lost in thought and ignored Harry for a moment. It wasn't until Harry shook Lu Mingfei's arm pitifully that he came back to his senses and took Harry with him. Lee leaves.

Across the bar was a small patio with four walls. Lu Mingfei took out his wand and tapped one of the walls three times.

The brick walls spread out, revealing the endless cobblestone streets behind. The streets are lined with shops one after another, and as far as the eye can see, wizards wearing wizard robes are coming and going.

"This is Diagon Alley." Lu Mingfei introduced Harry. Seeing the obvious hesitation on Harry's face, he said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Harry couldn't wait to speak, with a slightly weird expression on his face: "Senior Lu Mingfei, why does Professor Quirrell also call you senior?"

"Because I am indeed his senior...but for some special reasons, I have been repeating the grade." Lu Mingfei sighed.

My juniors have all become professors, and I am still a fifth-year student...

"Quilinus Quirrell, he graduated from Ravenclaw Academy last year, his grades are pretty good, and he is ranked high in Ravenclaw.

I also thought about asking him to keep his study notes. Although it is not as powerful as Bill with 12 'O's, it should be okay to sell it for half the price.

He had only been a Muggle Studies professor for a month when he chose to take a break from teaching classes. It was said that he went to the dark forest for 'practical experience', where he met several witches and vampires, and this was what happened after he came back.

But what I didn't expect was that he would now become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. It would have been acceptable for him to teach Muggle Studies in this state, but Defense Against the Dark Arts..."

"What happened to Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Harry asked, "I noticed that your tone changed after Professor Quirrell mentioned that he was teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts course."

"Of course, because this is a very special course, it is said to be cursed. Every wizard who teaches this course will eventually resign for various reasons." Lu Mingfei explained.

"Some of them may even suffer life-threatening injuries."

Harry's eyes widened in surprise: "Who would curse a course like this?"

"Voldemort, the guy who left you with a scar."

Lu Mingfei took Harry forward, "He graduated from Slytherin House at Hogwarts. When he was 18 years old, he wanted to be a professor of this course at Hogwarts, but was rejected by the then principal Armand. Doe Dippet refused.

It is said that he held a grudge and cursed every professor who took the course. "

"Is there no solution?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

"That's the problem. I think this is probably not Voldemort's ability, otherwise there is no way to explain why he doesn't curse other courses." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"Maybe this is not a curse at all. After all, it is not impossible to do the same thing with his ability. The source of most horror legends is basically human beings..."

Lu Mingfei said as he led Harry forward.

"Let's go to Gringotts first. Gringotts is the wizard's bank, founded by goblins. Your family property, which is also your personal property, is stored there."

Gringotts is a snow-white building that stands high above the surrounding shops. In front of the bronze door stands an elf wearing a new red and gold uniform. His hands and feet look particularly long in proportion.

Lu Mingfei led Harry through, the goblin bowed, and then there was a second silver door, with the words used by the goblin to warn outsiders written on it.

Lu Mingfei really hoped that the goblin would have this strength... He was looking forward to the outcome of the encounter between Voldemort and Gringotts.

Passing through this door is the goblin's service hall. The marble hall is extremely spacious and has a space that is much taller than it looks from the outside. It has obviously been blessed by the traceless expansion spell.

The decoration was magnificent, with thick gold plating on load-bearing columns, lamps, and even various decorations, which made Lu Mingfei jealous.

"Even if we scrape off all the gold in the most wasteful way, we can probably make a lot of money, right?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think to himself.
