Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

"I think Mr. Yodel did the right thing." Snape said calmly, "After all, that person is the mastermind behind the scenes. None of us know what hidden methods he has..."

"But this kind of behavior is very dangerous!" Professor McGonagall said angrily, "Even if he really has any ideas, he should discuss it with our teacher first!"

"The students in our college are different from those reckless little lions -" Snape glanced at Hermione disdainfully as he spoke, "I believe he must have been fully prepared before he came."

"you--"

"Okay, Minerva, and Severus." Dumbledore said with a smile, "At least now it seems that the result is not bad."

He turned his attention to the dead Quirrell and sighed: "It's just a pity that Professor Quirrell is not actually bad-hearted. He just pursues powerful power too much, which leads him to go astray in the end..."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Jerry said this, he always felt that Dumbledore glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Sometimes I also wonder whether our education focuses too much on the [wizard] side of children and ignores the [human] side."

Snape snorted contemptuously.

Dumbledore stared deeply at Quirrell's body for a while, then suddenly waved his wand, and a flame instantly rose from the body. The temperature of the flame was very high. Almost instantly, Jerry's first Defense Against the Dark Arts skill The professor was reduced to ashes in the flames.

When Dumbledore took them back to the castle, it was already midnight. Dumbledore took Jerry and Hermione up the stairs. Snape and Professor McGonagall separated from them halfway.

After arriving on the eighth floor, in front of a gargoyle stone beast, Dumbledore said: "A pile of cockroaches."

The gargoyle instantly jumped aside, and the wall behind it split in half, revealing a spiral staircase hidden behind that slowly moved upward.

It's just the second time Jerry has come here, Dumbledore's principal's office.

The layout here is almost unchanged from when I first arrived. The walls of the circular office are covered with portraits of the old principals, all snoring gently in their respective frames.Many spindly-legged tables were stocked with an assortment of eccentric silverware.

On a perch behind the door, a large fiery red bird buried its head under its wings and was taking a nap.

In front of the table, Harry was sitting there with an old wizard's hat on his head. Neville and Malfoy were sitting next to him, staring at him curiously.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Harry immediately took the sorting hat off his head and showed an embarrassed smile: "Sorry, Professor, I'm just curious..."

Dumbledore nodded understandingly: "Curiosity is an excellent quality, and it has been lonely here. It wants someone to chat with it..."

"Hey, Dumbledore, are you looking down on me too much? It doesn't matter even if no one talks to me for another 1000 years!" the hat said dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Dumbledore took the hat and hung it on the shelf.

After seeing Jerry and Hermione, Harry, Neville and Malfoy rushed over excitedly: "Great! You did it! You are all fine!"

Jerry had a headache and was touched by their enthusiasm. Hermione even shed tears with excitement. After the nightmare experience just now, she returned to a familiar place and saw familiar people. The girl who looked mature was also a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, kids." Dumbledore sat back at the table and clapped his hands. Only then did people quiet down and watch him.

Dumbledore crossed his hands on his chin and looked at Harry and the others with a smile: "Can you rest assured now? Although I have always been busy with things, I was still shocked to receive three letters from owls in just half an hour. I jumped."

From what he said, it seemed that after sending Ron to the school hospital, Malfoy wrote a letter to his father without stopping, and the letter soon reached Dumbledore's hands.

Neville, who was in the common room, kept staring at his pocket watch. Just after twelve o'clock, he immediately notified Professor McGonagall, and Harry also asked his owl to send a letter to Dumbledore.

After receiving the letter, Dumbledore immediately returned to Hogwarts - the final sentence for his negligence leading to Malfoy's injury was a one-year salary penalty.

This news was originally going to be announced to the public the next day, and Dumbledore and Fudge would have to be interviewed by reporters together. However, now that something happened at Hogwarts, Dumbledore wanted to go back early, and Fudge naturally didn't dare to stop him.

Only then did he return early.

But Jerry had reason to believe that Dumbledore had anticipated and even planned this, but he didn't know what role Lucius played in it.

The rest of the time was dominated by Jerry's narration, supplemented by others. Jerry told what happened tonight exactly as it was.

Some of the things were a bit baffling even to him, such as how Voldemort suddenly killed Quirrell. The monster he had tried so hard to summon disappeared within seconds of its appearance, and he had to run away in embarrassment.Jerry also told it as objectively as possible.

After hearing this, Dumbledore fell into a long silence.

The level he set specifically for Harry worked, but not completely.

As if he had mastered the secrets to clear the level, Jerry led Harry and several others to obtain the Philosopher's Stone in a destructive manner.

Harry, who was supposed to be the protagonist, turned out to be just a sideshow.

As for Jerry, who was targeted by Voldemort, Dumbledore thought that after the last disastrous defeat, he would be more cautious, at least using the Sorcerer's Stone to restore his body before thinking about causing trouble for Jerry.

Unexpectedly, Voldemort was captured by Quirrell and imprisoned in a bottle. This was outrageous.

As for the abyss monster summoned by Voldemort using Quirrell, Dumbledore had asked an old friend about the abyss before, but even that person kept secret about it, only telling him that the power of the abyss was beyond the control of ordinary people. , and never explore it out of curiosity, because from the moment you look at it, it will follow you like a shadow until you die or go crazy.

The ominous aura he had been feeling from Jerry was probably the power of the abyss mentioned by Voldemort.

However, no matter how he looked at Jerry, the latter didn't look like he was going crazy. He was even much more rational than many people.

Then there are only two possibilities. One is that the opponent has been eroded by the power of the abyss for a short time, and the effect is not outstanding.One is that the other party has completely escaped the influence of the power of the abyss.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore thought about it and came up with a way.
