Chapter 265

Today is the last practical class before the exam.

Murphy called all the students to the open space.

"Practical class," Murphy said. "After a year, I believe everyone understands the meaning of this course."

"I didn't teach everyone any specific knowledge. All the gains everyone has obtained in this class belong to yourselves."

"For a year, you have learned how to learn, learned how to ask a question, how to plan the direction and steps of researching a question, and finally found the method of how to solve the problem."

"For this, I am very pleased. You are all very excellent students. Compared to the past, I think you already have a broader vision and a sharper mind. I believe that in the future, you will all become excellent wizards."

"A year is very short, but you have already achieved very good results."

"The Dean group has initially completed the design and test flight of the single-person flight armor. Although comfort and safety need to be improved, I believe that an era where one can fly freely without the help of a broom is not far away."

Dean Thomas held up the flight boots they were working on recently, winning a round of applause.

"The Draco group, through carefully designed questionnaire surveys and precise data analysis, proved the fallacy of blood supremacy. The relevant paper has been published in 'Magic Weekly,' causing a very big response. Even Headmaster Dumbledore thinks it is a remarkable academic discovery."

Draco's face turned red when he heard Murphy mention his name.

Although he had submitted the article to Magic Weekly according to Murphy's suggestion before, he only received questions from acquaintances and elders, which made him very conflicted for a time. But at this moment, Murphy's unreserved praise made him feel recognized again, almost moved to tears.

The thing that was pressing on his shoulders seemed to have been unloaded suddenly, and he felt as if he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Professor Murphy is right.

Everything must be spoken with logic. My data is not wrong, my proof is extremely rigorous. Those guys who hadn't even read the paper and came up to spray him for violating the ancestors were the real idiots.

Draco Malfoy felt that from today on, he had finally broken away from low-level interests and found a more solid self-confidence.

The thing that gave him strength was no longer the shallow so-called "bloodline," but had become something truly indestructible—truth.

His back was straighter than before.

"The Qiu Zhang group, as second-year students, after constant exploration and constant experiments on the extremely difficult and complex subject of transformation, actually developed two brand-new transformation potions. Gender-swapping potion and animal transformation potion."

"To be honest, even I am shocked and proud of the achievements they have made. This is really an outstanding achievement I never expected. Very remarkable."

"The paper on the relevant results is also being organized and will be published in 'Today's Transfiguration' in the future. Professor McGonagall praised that this is the most outstanding achievement in the field of transfiguration in recent years, and I think she didn't exaggerate at all."

"This, this is all based on your guidance, Professor... and there is also a component of luck..." Little Qiu Zhang's face was red, and she said a little shyly.

"This is not luck, Miss Qiu Zhang, this is the reward brought by your persistent research spirit," Murphy said, not sparing praise.

This is why Murphy needs more people to invest in magic research. Just like scientific research has no formula for inevitable success, magic research also has luck factors, or rather, probability components.

To fill this probability hole, a large amount of trial and error and persistent research are needed.

Most of the time, so-called scientific research is not an intelligence problem, but a manpower problem.

A smart brain cannot lead humanity to a booming future. Only when countless smart brains work together can they open up the map of human cognition in the unknown darkness little by little.

"Also, the Weasley brothers group, on the basis of 'Goblin Gold Coins,' developed a brand-new communication tool: Communication Notebook."

Murphy said, taking a notebook-style object from the Weasley twins' hands and holding it up. "After connecting some notebooks through a communication ritual, you can write letters on your own notebook and transmit them to any notebook you wish to communicate with at any time."

"Remarkable invention, remarkable creativity!"

"However, what is even more remarkable is the communication ritual."

"The Weasley brothers developed a relatively general 'enchantment' ritual, that is—a way to endow objects with certain magic effects through rituals. Although at present, this ritual is still very cumbersome, and only the communication ritual and the 'Sonorus' spell have completed the combination with the enchantment ritual, but in the future, I believe that more and simpler general enchantment rituals suitable for more spells will definitely be developed."

"From now on, our magic world will be full of all kinds of interesting and convenient magic items."

"This will be a great invention that will change the future of the wizarding world."

The Weasley twins set off two fireworks at the right time. They bowed to everyone while shouting, "Welcome everyone to visit Weasley's Magic Props Shop, Communication Notebook is on sale! Only 10 silver Sickles!"

"In just one year, you have made so many surprising achievements, to be honest, far exceeding my expectations for everyone," Murphy said. "It also makes me fully realize again what precious talents you all are."

"I hope everyone will continue to carry forward the learning methods and research methods we learned in the practical class, and apply them to future learning, research, work, and even life. I look forward to everyone's growth."

"In addition, in this year, besides learning some skills, I believe everyone has also made some friends."

"Through exchanges with classmates of different houses and different personalities, I wonder if everyone has gained anything from it?"

"I hope everyone will cherish each other's friendship, cherish this beautiful time, and put more energy into mutual understanding, mutual cooperation, and common development, rather than wasting each other's lives and having no value in mutual fighting, comparison, discrimination, and holding each other back."

"I sincerely hope that you can have a happier and more fulfilling school career."

After Murphy finished speaking, some students tasted some different flavors. Someone raised their hand and said: "Professor, your words sound like a farewell. Are you not planning to teach us next year?"

Murphy entered the school for the Sorcerer's Stone, and the practical class was also a temporary idea. He didn't plan to stay too long anyway.

However, Hogwarts students are indeed treasures. Perhaps because they don't have too rigid cognition of magic, they seem to be able to exert the power of magic's "omnipotence." Having so many results in a year might be because of this reason.

For such a group of treasures, Murphy is not willing to let them be ruined by rigid magic education. After thinking about it, Murphy said: "Don't worry, I won't abandon you."

The class might not be taught, but maintaining influence on Hogwarts doesn't necessarily mean being a professor.
