Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 16 Voldemort's Teaching Philosophy
"Tell me about the blood curse."

Dumbledore said with concern, "This is a rare curse."

"The trouble came during a hunt. At that time, I was too close to Mount Oregino..."

Quirrell began to tell a story that had already been made up, and Dumbledore listened patiently, nodding in response from time to time, and he didn't speak again until it was over.

"So, can I have a look?" he asked, looking at Quirrell through his crescent glasses.

"Uh...Of course, it would be great if you could directly help me lift the curse." Quirrell said in surprise.

But Voldemort, who was hiding in the blood curse and paid attention to all this from afar, chose to sleep in an instant, and no longer revealed any information that might be noticed.

"I'm not proficient in curses." Dumbledore got up, and the purple floor-length robe trailed behind him as he moved, "but I can help you see, maybe there is a way."

Quirrell kept nodding, but at the same time he had activated Occlumency - this was of course not to prevent Dumbledore from seeing the blood curse, but to prevent him from seeing his real memory.

"Maybe a little dizzy, but it will be soon." Dumbledore said softly, the old wand swung twice in the air, and then stuck to Quirrell's head.

This should be a magic similar to Legilimency, but it has obviously changed. At least he didn't evoke Quirrell's memory, but just let the imprint of the blood curse flash in Quirrell's eyes.

"This vampire is stronger than I expected." Dumbledore bent over, moved closer to Quirrell's eyes, and watched carefully.

With the hand that was not holding the wand, he plucked Quilo's eyelids, so that the texture of the blood curse appeared more - the curse was like a bite mark, the upper and lower canine teeth were particularly prominent, and the evil breath was hidden deep in Qi Deep in Luo's eyes.

"It should be a female vampire, which is good news."

"Shh."

The Elder Wand was swung again, and the Blood Curse was hidden again.

"Based on my understanding of the curse, the blood curse has already been implemented, and there is no way to remove it. If there is someone who can solve this problem... Maybe there is something for the person who cursed the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

Dumbledore's words made Quirrell shudder. It seemed that he was frightened, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"It is said that he is also in the Black Forest, have you not seen him?" Dumbledore asked seemingly casually.

"You mean... the mysterious man?" Quirrell asked with a shiver.

"Voldemort, I like to call him that." Dumbledore stared at Quirrell.

Quirrell shrank back like a frightened rabbit, but in the end he gritted his teeth and didn't cry out - thanks to the teaching of the acting teacher, he did a good job, at least Dumbledore didn't see anything unusual .

"I haven't seen...the principal, please don't say his name again." Quirrell said.

Dumbledore smiled, and instead of entangled in this issue, he changed the subject.

"Maybe you can try to get along with that vampire. Love can affect her and her spell."

Dumbledore said, looked at Quirrell up and down, and said, "It seems that you have already started trying."

Quirrell smiled awkwardly, and twisted his shoulders, as if he had just been relieved from his fear.

"Well, let's not talk about this." Dumbledore ended the topic that made Quirrell uncomfortable, "It's time to talk about the curriculum."

Quirrell immediately straightened his back, looking as if he was fully prepared.

"First of all, I will increase practice." Quirrell said loudly, "The experience in the Black Forest made me know my own shortcomings, and also let me see the shortcomings in the defense class."

Dumbledore nodded and gave Quirrell an encouraging look.

"I'm not proficient in resisting and attacking magic spells, which made me suffer a lot in the early stage. If I didn't prepare a lot of potions, I even thought I would die there."

"It's a dangerous journey, be more careful next time," Dumbledore instructed.

"Yes, I will pay attention." Quirrell responded, and then talked about his thoughts.

"Secondly, I want to have a linkage with the two professors of Charms and Herbology, and of course, Professor Snape."

"Spells are used to resist and attack, and there are many plants in herbalism, which are themselves a source of danger in a dangerous place like the Black Forest. As for potions...that is really a life-saving thing."

Dumbledore nodded in agreement.

"at last……"

Quirrell looked at the sorting hat, with some hesitation in his expression.

"If you have any ideas, just say, we are discussing, aren't we?" Dumbledore said encouragingly.

Quirrell nodded, organized his language, and then spoke again.

"Finally, I don't think all students are suitable for direct combat...Of course, I don't mean timid or anything else, just..."

Quirrell looked a little embarrassed. He was often teased and cowardly before. Although he is much better now, he is not very used to talking about things that make him ashamed.

"I understand, please continue." Dumbledore pointed the old wand on Quirrell's water glass and refilled some drinks for him, which relieved Quirrell's embarrassment very well.

"Thank you." Quirrell took a long breath and said after calming down.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, indicating that he was not in a hurry.

"I think different students should have different fighting styles." Quirrell calmed down and began to explain his thoughts.

"Brave Gryffindors, they are suitable for duels and head-on combat. In their battles, they can even join in melee combat - their founders have a wand in one hand and a long sword in the other."

Dumbledore frowned, as if surprised by the novelty of Quirrell's idea.

"Another example is our Ravenclaw. Most of us memorized a lot of spells when we were students, but we lack actual combat ability. I think we are more suitable to use wisdom to win."

"Such as your trip to the Black Forest?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes." Quirrell nodded affirmatively, and said, "If I hadn't read enough travel books and made sufficient preparations—especially potions—I don't think I might be able to get out of the Black Forest."

Dumbledore nodded, agreeing.

"Slytherin... In my opinion, their magic power is stronger than that of ordinary wizards. Pure blood does have such benefits, so powerful magic is more suitable for them."

Quirrell's words caused Dumbledore to frown slightly. He obviously didn't like such a statement, but he finally nodded.

"The magic fluctuations of most pure-bloods are indeed better than wizards born in the Muggle world, but I hope you don't plant such an idea in the hearts of students." Dumbledore said after thinking.

"Of course I won't do that. What's more, I'm not a pure blood myself, but my magic power is not weaker than most pure blood wizards after continuous practice." Quirrell said proudly.

Dumbledore nodded again, and then asked curiously: "What about Hufflepuff? Some people always think they are not good enough."

"Create a teaching of fixed fighting methods."

Quirrell replied without hesitation, obviously he was prepared.

"Hufflepuff is not as brave as Gryffindor, not as smart as Ravenclaw, and not as magical as Slytherin, but... they are not afraid of hardships, and they are the most persistent among the four houses. student."

Dumbledore nodded slowly, agreeing.

"Let them find their own fixed combat routines, and then it is uninterrupted strengthening. They don't need too many spells, and they don't have to choose powerful spells. As long as they are easy to use and coherent enough, they will be fine."

Quirrell said excitedly, "Coupled with their persistent practice, I even feel that when they keep studying like this until after graduation, most students from other colleges will not be able to defeat them in sudden battles."

"Very clear thinking." Dumbledore praised loudly, "I even think that if it can be implemented well, the combat effectiveness of Hogwarts graduates will be improved as a whole."

Quirrell was quite excited when he heard it. Although this was Voldemort's idea, he also felt quite honored to be recognized by Dumbledore.

"It's just that it's not without trouble..." Dumbledore said slowly, calming down the excited Quirrell.
