Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"What did you say to Professor Quirrell? That made him so angry?" Hermione pestered her again after class.

"It's nothing. I explained to him the reason for being late, and he was obviously not satisfied." Dean shrugged and said vaguely.

Hermione did not speak, but looked at Dean suspiciously. In her opinion, the reason for their lateness was very good, and Professor Quirrell should not be angry about it.

Dean was not in the mood to take care of the little girl's mood, and his mind was filled with another thing: he seemed to have messed up, and ruined all the goodwill he had finally gained from Professor Quirrell.

This will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of completing the "Secret of Quirrell" mission.

He had to think carefully about how to please Chilo and regain his trust.

Driven by the system mission, Dean had already forgotten his original plan to stay away from Quirrell. He thought clearly that some things were impossible to escape.

Since he is in the same dormitory as Harry and has inevitably interacted with Quirrell, Voldemort will focus on him sooner or later. Rather than doing that, it is better to take the initiative, and at least he can gain a lot of wool through the system - -It would be even better if you could get Voldemort's wool through Quirrell, but there are not many such opportunities.

"Dean, what did you show Professor Quirrell just now? I noticed that he got angry after reading it..." Hermione wanted to ask more, but was interrupted impatiently by Dean.

"Sorry, Miss Granger, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to see Madam Pomfrey. Goodbye!" Dean made up a random reason and left Hermione decisively.

"Wait, I can accompany you..." Before Hermione could finish her words, she realized that Dean had lost track of her.

After Hermione walked away, Dean emerged from a corner and let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Prokos's robe also had the ability to become invisible, which allowed him to escape from Miss Know-It-All's entanglement.

To be honest, Dean understood Hermione's behavior very well. Generally speaking, children like her who didn't have many friends would appear clingy for a while once they found friends they could talk to.

Dean hoped that soon, when the Iron Triangle was fully formed, Hermione would turn her attention away from him and towards Harry and Ron.

It was already dinner time, and most of the students were eating in the restaurant, but Dean took the opportunity to sneak into the Potions classroom. In addition to wanting to discuss Professor Trelawney's prophecy with Snape, he also wanted to use it from I got the privilege from Snape to prepare something.

That's right, it's the energy potion. After getting the Secret Walker Badge, Dean has been thinking about how to get rid of the problem of mental decline as soon as possible. The energy potion is one of the few methods he can think of - this once again made Dean Ann realizes the shortcomings of her magical knowledge.

He had just fainted in the afternoon, which could be entirely attributed to the overdraft of magic power. The preparation at this time would definitely not make Snape suspicious. In fact, Dean planned to prepare a little spare first, which could be used to please Professor Quirrell if necessary.

Dean remembered that there was a time when Quirrell was very weak due to Voldemort's possession, and that was an opportunity to get close to him again.

The Potions classroom was empty, and even Slytherin students were reluctant to go near it when they were not in class.

Dean didn't know where Snape was at the moment, so he had to take out the equipment and raw materials, and while preparing the energy potion, he patiently waited for Snape to return.

Unfortunately, Dean obviously miscalculated. When it was almost time to go to bed, there was still no sign of Snape. Instead, he had prepared several bottles of energy potion.

With the blessing of "Magic Potion Specialization", the effect of two bottles has even reached an excellent level.

Seeing that Snape didn't show up, Dean had no choice but to put the prepared energy potion in the dragon skin bag and keep it. After packing up the Potions classroom, he reluctantly returned to the Gryffindor lounge.

Before he left, he found a bottle of Veritaserum in a very conspicuous place in the cabinet where Snape stored potions.

Dean hesitated and took the bottle of truth serum away.

He swore that he just wanted to study the properties of Veritaserum to avoid getting himself into trouble.

——Dean didn’t know that Snape stayed away all night, and the lights in an office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts stayed on all night.

Although he had dealt with Filch well and believed that he would not cause trouble again, Dean decided to abide by the school rules and not wander around the castle after bedtime.

Dean was sure that what happened this afternoon had left a bad impression on Professor McGonagall, who was always strict, and he didn't want to get into trouble at this time.

Sure enough, Dean's guess was correct. When he stepped back to the Gryffindor common room, he found Professor McGonagall standing at the door chatting with the Fat Lady.

"Mr. Thomas, why are you back so late?" Professor McGonagall did not hide her suspicion.

"I have some questions and want to ask Professor Snape, but unfortunately I didn't see him after waiting all night." Dean hesitated and chose to tell the truth.

A first-year freshman wanted to deceive a professor at Hogwarts - this was probably a feat that even Voldemort had not accomplished back then, and it was too risky.

"I think you can make an appointment with an owl next time. Besides, it seems that I am the head of Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall expressed some dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Professor. Those are some questions about potions. I don't know where I can ask you for advice." Dean said tactfully.

When Professor McGonagall heard this, her face stiffened and she whispered, "Maybe the Sorting Hat made a mistake and you shouldn't be sorted into Gryffindor."

"Sorry, I never meant any offense." Dean suddenly felt that his future in Gryffindor was bleak. It was definitely not a good thing to offend the dean, Professor McGonagall, as soon as school started.

Now he can only hope that Professor McGonagall is a fair person, so that he will have a chance to regain Professor McGonagall's trust with his outstanding performance in the future.

"Okay, Mr. Thomas, go and have a rest quickly. Don't be so late again." After Professor McGonagall warned, he shouted the entrance command to the Fat Lady: "Dragon Scum!"

After the fat lady gave a slight salute, she made way for the entrance - a bunch of little heads had already gathered around the entrance, and they dispersed as soon as the door opened.

Professor McGonagall was obviously very angry. She had already seen the appearance of several of them clearly: "George, Fred, Seamus, Ron... and Harry Potter! I think you should be in the warm room now." Under the covers, instead of lying here and eavesdropping on our conversation, five points will be deducted from Gryffindor!"

Dean smiled apologetically at Professor McGonagall, quickly climbed into the Gryffindor common room, and then quickly slipped back to his dormitory.

"Hey, young man, I think you have the most potential to take over our class among the freshmen, much better than our useless brother!" As soon as Dean got into the dormitory, he was hugged by one of the Weasley twins. neck.

Ron next to him waved his fist in dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about." Dee said stupidly.

"On the second day of school, you dare to stay up all night and risk violating school rules!" the other twin said sourly.

"I didn't stay up all night, I just came back at the right time." Dean corrected.

"Anyway, I saw your restless heart, you are worthy of being a Gryffindor!" The twins patted Dean's back hard at the same time.

If the system hadn't suddenly thrown out a task to divert his attention, Dean would have almost resisted.
