Chapter 61: Sequelae

"Who are you? How did you know?!"

Quirrell suddenly showed a hint of ruthlessness, no longer the good guy he was before, staring at Hope.

"Me? Of course it's Quirrell."

Hope said casually. In fact, in Snape's eyes, both of them were suspects, but Quirrell seemed to be more dangerous now.

"Don't try to hold the wand, they won't allow it."

Hope saw Quirrell's little action, smiled slightly, and said loudly, which was naturally a reminder to Snape and McGonagall.

He didn't believe that Quirrell could cast the Unforgivable Curse without a wand at his level, so he was afraid of nothing!

Looking at Quirrell's aggrieved look, Hope couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart. It was estimated that Voldemort behind Quirrell's head was also aggrieved now.

He was naturally very proud that he could make Voldemort, who once frightened countless wizards, so aggrieved.

As for the consequences of offending Voldemort? Not to mention that Voldemort didn't know who he was, even if he really knew, what would happen? Now he was like a drowned dog, but he relied on the Horcrux to be immortal.

Believe it or not, he would find the Horcrux in a minute and destroy it in front of Voldemort.

Of course, he had no solution to Harry's problem, that is to say, as long as Harry was there, Voldemort would really be immortal forever.

"Professor Quirrell, can you give me your wand for safekeeping? Of course, I'll take it. Please don't make any moves for now to avoid misunderstandings.

Professor McGonagall stared at Quirrell. In fact, she had already figured out who was the real Quirrell and who was the impostor.

But now it seemed that both she and Dumbledore had overlooked one point. The purple turban that Quirrell had been wearing had a big problem. It was so big that they didn't dare to take it off, even if they couldn't prove their identity.

This problem was even bigger than pretending to be someone else in secret, so she chose to deal with this matter first.

""Okay, you can take it."

Quirrell suddenly accepted his fate, spread his hands, and said to Mag

"But this person is fake, aren't you afraid? Will he suddenly cast a curse on you?" Quirrell turned his attention to Hope.

But what Quirrell said was not without reason.

The students at this moment looked a little confused. What did it mean?

The Professor Quirrell on the left was a fake? But Professor McGonagall wanted to confiscate the wand of the real Professor Quirrell, and even Snape's wand was pointed at the real Quirrell. It was all so psychedelic!

"I don't think you will hand over your wand, you know! If you hand over your wand, you will definitely be sent to Azkaban and you will never get out."

Hope smiled and said sarcastically, directly exposing what Quirrell wanted to hide, but did not say it clearly, which made Quirrell even more uncomfortable.

Quirrell's eyes widened immediately. He was sure that the person pretending to be him really knew something!

From Hope's words, McGonagall and Snape's hearts sank, thinking about what kind of crime would be imprisoned in Azkaban for life, which would be a more painful torture than death.

With Hoxie's reminder, Quirrell had fallen into an irreversible situation. He didn't even have the chance to pick up his wand. Snape would not give him this opportunity.

Now Quirrell could do nothing. He dared not move, and he couldn't Apparate away because of Hogwarts. It was as if he was forced into a dead end, but he couldn't die together.

This aggrieved feeling made Quirrell blush, his eyes full of tears. Staring at Hope with hatred, he could only see a face that looked exactly like his, except that face kept a smile that asked for a beating.

At this moment, Snape no longer hesitated, and gently waved his wand, and a spell suddenly shot towards Quirrell.

However, Quirrell was not really defenseless. At the moment the spell was shot, he rolled to the side, dodged the spell, and pulled out his wand at the same time.

But Professor McGonagall was not an idler, and at this moment she also cast a spell at Quirrell.

Hoshi naturally did not just watch, and ran away when the battle broke out, running quickly towards the door of the auditorium.

What they were fighting for was a time difference. At this moment, Snape had no time to keep him. He needed to face Quirrell and could not allow him to be distracted.

Professor McGonagall's spell successfully hit Quirrell, and the wand in Quirrell's hand flew uncontrollably. Out, fell into the hands of Professor McGonagall.

Snape's cooperation was very timely. At this time, he also cast a spell on Quirrell, knocking him out directly.

Looking at Hope again, he had taken advantage of this time to run to the door of the auditorium and was turning his head to look at them.

Snape snorted coldly and shot a spell at Hope casually.

Hope was well prepared. When Snape's wand turned towards him, he dodged to the side. After dodging, he ran away without waiting for Snape to cast the second spell.

He didn't expose his Apparition if he could, but fortunately he really escaped.

At the moment of turning to avoid sight, he directly cast Apparition and returned to the dormitory.

When Snape chased out, Hope's figure had long disappeared. He had no choice but to let it go temporarily, snorted coldly, and returned to McGonagall.

He took the initiative to reach out to Quirrell's turban, while McGonagall was on guard.

Just before he touched the purple turban, a green figure suddenly jumped out of Quirrell's body and fled quickly. Professor McGonagall instinctively cast a spell at the green figure, which hit and missed.

The figure was very fast and chose to go through the wall directly, not taking the usual route. It was obviously not a living being.

People who were far away could not see clearly and could only see a green shadow, but McGonagall and Snape who were close could see it clearly and were stunned. They looked at each other in disbelief, confirming that what the other saw was the same as what he saw.

They could confirm this just from the other's eyes, and they were extremely sure.

How could they not recognize that figure?

McGonagall's face was extremely serious at this moment. She never thought that things would be so outrageous and out of control. They actually let Voldemort stay under their noses, in Hogwarts full of students. If it weren't for today's incident, Voldemort didn't know how long he would hide, and they would even be kept in the dark.

Snape was also very shocked at this moment. He didn't expect to find someone hiding in Hogwarts directly. He thought it was one of Voldemort's men before, but he didn't expect that Voldemort came in person. It was really unexpected.

Suddenly Snape remembered something and reached out to touch Quirrell, but didn't find what he wanted to find.

His brows were furrowed. Was the Philosopher's Stone hidden, or was it really not Voldemort who stole the Philosopher's Stone?!

Otherwise, Voldemort, who got the Philosopher's Stone, should have restored his physical body as soon as possible instead of continuing to hide in Hogwarts.

As for the green shadow, neither Snape nor McGonagall chose to chase it.

First, there were students here, and what they needed to do more was to protect the students.

The second reason was that they were all well-informed wizards, and they could tell that the green shadow was just a soul. How could they catch up if it could pass through the wall?

McGonagall suddenly sighed, and felt that a lot of things had happened in Hogwarts after Dumbledore left. But if she remembered correctly, Dumbledore had only been away for one day, and she already felt that he couldn't live without him.

Trolls, impostors, Voldemort, Professor Quirrell, all these things came to light in this night.

Snape temporarily imprisoned Quirrell, and then McGonagall continued to look for the troll in the castle.

As for Hope, he had returned to the dormitory and fell asleep peacefully.

Of course, he washed off the garlic smell on his body before that.

He was really tired after performing all night, and he had thought of the reasons for the future response. He fell asleep in the dormitory, so he didn't know anything.

It was reasonable. A normal person would never doubt a first-year student, unless he was a troll!

So Hope slept very peacefully. Of course, after sleeping for an hour or two, he felt a violent shaking, accompanied by the shouting of others.

"Hoshi! Hoshi!"

Hoshi opened his eyes and yawned. It was Harry and the others. Hermione was also there. It seemed that they were freed from the Great Hall.

"What's wrong?"

Hope stretched and asked in confusion.

"When did you come back?"

Harry asked excitedly.

"During dinner, when I came back, I saw you were not there. I felt a little sleepy, so I went to bed directly. What time is it now?"

Hope said it flawlessly. In fact, what Hope said was impeccable.

Because before dinner, Hope went to his hometown and watched TV out of boredom. This world is different from Hope's original world. He knew this a long time ago. The context and history are roughly the same, but the people are different, so it seems interesting to watch it again.

When they returned to the dormitory, Harry and the others had already gone to dinner in advance, and they had been forcibly controlled in the auditorium since then. It was impossible for them to come back, and it was impossible for them to find out that Hope was lying.

"We were worried about you all night, and you were sleeping in the dormitory!"

Harry and Ron said in disbelief

""What happened?"

Hope asked in a fake tone. After a night of practice, his acting skills really improved. At least Harry and the others didn't notice any problems.

"The Great Hall tonight is so scary, I can't tell who is real and who is fake!"

Ron said with some fear, feeling that he would dream about Snape tonight.

"And Professor Quirrell was captured by Snape and his men. That was the real Quirrell, oh my god!"

Hermione said in shock.

"Finally, a green shadow ran out of Professor Quirrell's body. It looked like a ghost... Did anyone see what the ghost looked like?"

Harry asked with a slightly pale face. When the ghost came out, the lightning scar on his head suddenly hurt a lot.

"No, it ran too fast."

Several people shook their heads and said, and the distance was too far, and it was estimated that only a few professors could see it.

"But the impostor ran away! That means he might show up again, this time dressed as a professor. Will he sneak in among us next time and remain undetected?"

Hermione asked worriedly.

As soon as this sentence came out, several people immediately imagined the scene. If they were not discovered, it would be fine. If they were discovered, they would be scared to death. They couldn't help but shudder.……

"How about we set a password? Just like entering the Gryffindor common room, if in doubt, ask for the password."

Harry remembered what Professor McGonagall and the others did in the Great Hall. They could really tell who was real and who was fake, provided that the person who heard the password was not fake.

""Yes!"

Ron and Hermione agreed directly.

In fact, this scene not only happened in this dormitory, but also in other dormitories. They were frightened and used various means to ensure that the imposter did not sneak into their group. Most people also used passwords.

"How about a magic pen? We all five have one.

Hermione suddenly suggested, glancing at Hope. These magic pens all came from Hope.

"Sure."

This suggestion was agreed by others.

At this moment, Hope glanced at the four people and asked instinctively:"But how can you be sure that I am real?"

The next moment, the four of them turned their heads abruptly, looking at Hope with horror on their faces, their bodies suddenly jumped apart, huddled together, and leaned against the wall to look at Hope. This was indeed the case. The four of them had always been together and had never separated, so it was certain that it was true.

But... Hope had never shown up. He had been in the dormitory after they came back. Who knew if the person lying on the bed was a fake? A chill suddenly came over the few of them. The feeling that the people around them were being impersonated was even more terrifying than those professors being impersonated. At this time, they even had the idea of dropping out. Hogwarts was too scary.

Hope smiled awkwardly and scratched his head with his fingers. He assured them that what he had just done was just instinct. It was probably the sequelae of scaring people too much tonight. He didn't expect that several people would react so strongly.

And the matter did not end there. The next day, the cat was visible. Everyone was in danger. There was no trust at all when they met. They all tried to spy on each other's true identity, even the professor. It seemed... McGonagall was in a lot of trouble and could only hope that Dumbledore would come back to clean up the mess as soon as possible.

After catching Quirrell last night, Snape used truth serum to interrogate Quirrell all night. As expected, he explained everything about Voldemort clearly, including when he was possessed and what he did.

But he still got some good news, which made Snape's gloomy face a little relieved. Voldemort did not get the Philosopher's Stone, and his condition was very bad. Although no one knew who stole the Philosopher's Stone, as long as it was not taken away by Voldemort, it was a good thing.

Snape, who got the real news, sent an owl to send a letter to Dumbledore overnight, asking him to come back to deal with Quirrell first. In order to be on the safe side, he needed to keep Quirrell under guard first and never leave.

The auditorium was very lively in the morning, one asked questions and the other answered them.

At this moment, Malfoy, with blond hair and slicked back, came in with two followers. Harry and Ron noticed it first. The two looked at each other and smiled evilly. The next moment, they looked at Malfoy and shouted loudly.

"Mr. Malfoy, you are so smart!"

The voice was so loud that everyone in the hall heard it.

The next moment, the hall erupted in a wave of sound, and everyone laughed. All those who had experienced it knew what this sentence meant, and it was personally certified by the imposter.

Although everyone was deceived last night, Malfoy was undoubtedly the clown who jumped out to be!

Malfoy's face flushed instantly, and he felt like he was about to explode. He looked at Harry and Ron viciously, and left without even eating.

Harry and Ron laughed happily when they saw this. Finally, Malfoy, who usually held his head high like a rooster, was defeated. And it can be expected that this sentence will accompany Malfoy for seven years!

However, the joyful mood will be wiped out by the class. Several people who have taken a class on the history of magic have already had a clear feeling.

Huo Xi listened to the toneless voice of Professor Binns, and was in a daze thinking about his own things.

After a night of hard work last night, the Boggart was finally completely fused. Now there are two positions that can be fused.

One of them will naturally be left for the S-level life. Hope decided to leave this position temporarily to the real dragon. Even if it is not, it will not suffer. After all, it is a myth The real dragon that only exists in the world is still a real dragon that has never been born.

The other position needs to be carefully considered. In fact, after what happened last night, he even wanted to merge with the giant monster, perhaps he could get the characteristics of power.

But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea and planned to find time to sneak to the library of the United Academy to check what magical animals can be merged in his hometown.

Of course, it is not necessary to merge the magical creatures in his hometown. There are still many magical creatures here that can be merged.

For example, Hope considered including elves in his alternatives. Of course, they are not house elves, but Cornish elves, small iron-blue creatures that like to play pranks.

The reason why Hope included them in the alternatives is that they can fly. Unlike other creatures, they can fly without wings, which is very powerful.

The reason why other magical creatures can fly is mostly relying on wings, not other things, but they can fly without wings, which is their peculiarity.

But with Hope's current understanding of the system, he is a little worried that the exclusive task will still be a prank.
