Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Hermione immediately stammered an apology.

"So it's best to keep this matter a secret." Dean warned.

No matter how smart Hermione is, she is just an 11-year-old girl, and it is impossible to consider the matter so comprehensively. Dean did not blame her, he just wanted to take the opportunity to block her mouth and prevent her from telling the matter.

Dean knew that Malfoy, who had been convinced by him, would never dare to do anything in front of him even if he knew about it, but it was hard to talk about it behind his back.

"Of course, I swear." Hermione quickly promised.

"Okay, now you can go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom first." Dean stopped and said.

"What about you? Why not come together?" Hermione asked confused.

"Two people being late at the same time is too conspicuous. Do you want to hear some bad rumors?" Dean sighed.

"Then why didn't you go to the classroom first?" Hermione suspected that Dean was going to do something behind her back again.

"Of course I don't care, but do you want to leave a bad impression on Professor Quirrell in the first class?" Dean knew Hermione's character very well.

"That's right!" Hermione was reminded and immediately understood. It was just a short period of time since class started. Even if she was late, she could use the excuse of getting lost. If she was late, there would really only be half a class left.

"You go first, I'll be there in 5 minutes." Dean reassured Hermione.

What can you do in 5 minutes?

"See you soon!" Hermione said this and hurried towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Dean slowed down and swayed slowly in the same direction.

In Hermione's eyes, 5 minutes might not accomplish much, but it was different for Dean. He could use this time to sort out the gains from this unexpected incident.

That’s right, gain.

After Dean woke up, he found that he had received two tasks from the system inexplicably.

"Mission: The True Prophecy

Sybill Trelawney is the great-great-granddaughter of Cassandra Trelawney, a true prophet who sometimes makes true prophecies.She made a real prophecy about you, find a way to discover the truth.

Reward: Draw one of Trelawney's skills, 3 skill points. "

"Mission: Trelawney's Favor"

Win the favor of Sybill Trelawney.

Reward: 10 points of Trelawney's favorability, activate Trelawney's bond, 2 skill points. "

Dean didn't have a clue about the first task yet, but the second task seemed very simple to complete. After Dean helped Professor Trelawney and said a few good words, the task was completed.

Successfully activated Trelawney's bond - although the progress is only a pitiful 1% of level 10, the 2 skill points are real.

Seeing that he had finally accumulated 10 skill points, Dean felt a lot more at ease. Although he didn't plan to use it now, in a critical moment, these skill points could save lives.

I just don’t know what Trelawney’s bond buffing effect is, but Dean is not worried. According to past experience, when the progress reaches 1% of level 50, that is, when Trelawney’s favorability reaches 50 points, it will appear. Gain effect.

Dean felt that this condition should not be difficult to achieve. As long as he showed his presence in front of Trelawney from time to time and showed off his "prophecy" ability, his favorability should rise very quickly.

Dean has decided not to hide his prophecy talent anymore. After Seamus, a big mouth, spread it everywhere, even Professor Trelawney, who has always been unsociable, knew about his prophecy ability. It must have spread throughout the school. Dean Even if An wants to keep a low profile, he probably won't be able to.

……

When Dean wandered to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Professor Quirrell had just finished telling the story of a vampire he met in Romania.

As soon as Dean entered the classroom, he almost fainted from the strong smell of garlic in the classroom.

It seems that the vampire that may not exist has caused an extremely serious psychological shadow to Professor Quirrell, so much so that he made the smell of garlic everywhere.

Seeing Dean come in, Professor Quirrell nodded specifically to him, causing the whole class to look back at him. This made Dean a little uncomfortable and quickly changed the subject and asked: "Professor Quirrell, why are you in class?" Are you wearing a headscarf?"

Professor Quirrell stared at Dean and replied: "This is a gift given to me by an African prince to thank me for helping him get rid of the entanglement of the resurrected zombies."

The students all made a "bang" noise in unison, and obviously not many believed Professor Quirrell's words.

"Professor Quirrell, how did you defeat the resurrected zombie?" Seamus immediately asked about this topic that the whole class was interested in.

Professor Quirrell immediately blushed and said vaguely: "I don't think this is something that first-year students should know. Maybe in two years, I will tell you in detail-Okay, Sunset Yes, it looks like the weather should be good for some time to come. As far as I know your long-awaited flying lesson is coming soon, and now you at least don’t have to worry about the weather affecting the lesson."

Although Professor Quirrell kept the matter of the resurrected zombie vague, he at least succeeded in diverting everyone's attention. No little wizard was not interested in the upcoming flying lesson - perhaps with the exception of Hermione, who looked a little nervous.

The remaining time of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was terrible. Probably because he was afraid that the students would ask some unanswerable questions, Professor Quirrell simply let everyone have self-study and let them discuss flying lessons and broomsticks loudly. .

Dean shook his head secretly. If this continues, he is destined to be unable to learn anything useful from Professor Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. This is not okay. It is a shameful waste of time!

Dean decided to make some constructive suggestions to Professor Quirrell. Even consolidating the content in the "Dark Powers: Self-Defense Guide" textbook would be of great benefit to Dean.

Thinking of this, Dean took advantage of the heated discussion and quietly approached Professor Quirrell.

"Mr. Thomas, what's the matter with you?" Quirrell immediately noticed Dean who was not taking the usual route.

"Professor, I have previewed some content in "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" and I want to ask you some questions." Dean said unabashedly.

"What a studious boy." Professor Quirrell forced a smile at Dean, showing a little uneasiness about Dean approaching him.

Dean quickly opened the textbook, turned to a random page and asked, "Professor Quirrell, what do you think about this spell?"

Dean found that he couldn't go on because the page he opened happened to be about the Cruciatus Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses.

"Mr. Thomas, I don't think this is a spell you should be exposed to at this stage." Quirrell's face immediately turned cold and he said with a straight face.

"But we are always likely to encounter this kind of black magic, right? What if someone happens to cast the Cruciatus Curse on us?" Dean said plausibly, trying to save something.

"Principal Dumbledore will not let his students get into such trouble!" Quirrell pushed Dean angrily and announced loudly: "get out of class is over!"

Then he left the classroom without looking back.
