Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

When he quietly approached Quirrell several times in the past, Dean poured out a little of the Veritaserum he received from Snape and mixed it into the mist around Quirrell. He believed that Quirrell who had inhaled the Veritaserum would never Will lie.

"When will he wake up? I think he really wants to know the prophecy about the Sorcerer's Stone, right?" Dean asked worriedly.

"My master is very weak. According to usual experience, he needs to rest for at least three to five days." Quirrell answered frankly, "And for some reason, he rarely appears in Hogwarts."

"Have there been any exceptions?" Dean speculated that this was because Voldemort was afraid of Dumbledore, but he still felt uneasy.

"Never. And the principal's office is nearby, and the master never shows up here." Quirrell completely reassured Dean.

"So Quirrell, besides wanting to know the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone, what do you want to know?" Dean asked seductively, trying to trigger a task related to Quirrell.

"Powerful, I want to know how to become more powerful." After Quirrell couldn't wait to finish speaking, he covered his mouth in horror. How could he accidentally say what was in his heart?

"There are many kinds of power, which one do you want?" Dean quietly used a hypnotic tone again.

"No longer despised by others, powerful enough...to escape the master's control..." Under the dual effects of hypnosis and truth serum, except for the slightest difference just now, Quirrell spoke out the deepest feelings in his heart without any resistance. desire.

interesting.

Dean touched his chin. It seemed that Quirrell was not determined to serve Voldemort. Perhaps the reason why he was reduced to this situation was because he wanted to be strong enough not to be despised.

Dean suddenly remembered using Legilimency on Quirrell that night and read a memory about Quirrell's boyhood.

That memory is unbearable for anyone to look back on. Quirrell also lives in a reorganized family.

He had been extremely thin since he was a child. He was treated as a burden in the family that was not wealthy and suffered humiliation and abuse.

When he received the admission notice to Hogwarts one day, he was ecstatic, thinking that he finally had a chance to escape from his bad family.

However, the reality is very cruel. When he was in school, it was when Voldemort was at his peak. As a poor boy with a mixed-race background, you can easily imagine his life at Hogwarts.

Although all students at Hogwarts were protected by Dumbledore, this did not prevent Slytherin House from becoming the most powerful of the four houses at that time.

Most of the Slytherins at that time were ardent admirers of Voldemort. Even if they did not join the Death Eaters, they still harbored great malice towards Muggles and mixed-blood students.

Although he joined Ravenclaw, the timid and withdrawn character he developed since childhood made it difficult for him to make friends, and he inevitably became the target of bullying by the Slytherins.

His cowardly character prevented him from reporting what happened to him to the professor in order to seek asylum, because he was afraid of more severe retaliation.

Such an unfortunate growth experience has gradually distorted Quirrell's character. He is eager to prove himself. He hopes that the whole world will look at him with admiration, so he gradually embarks on the path of pursuing power and pursuing black magic.

Dean seemed to see his shadow in Quirrell's memory. If he hadn't been a time traveler and had a mature psychology; if his stepfather hadn't treated him as his own; if it hadn't been for Thomas's family being relatively wealthy - Dean I feel that I am very likely to follow the same path as Quirrell.

People with extremely low self-esteem often use strong power, abundant wealth, and prominent reputation to cover up, and there is no doubt that Quirrell is no exception.

But Quirrell now actually wants to get rid of Voldemort, and Dean thinks this is an exploit.

At this time, Dean discovered that there was a slight change in the system's task interface. Although no new tasks were released, the "First Year: Quirrell's Secret" task of the previous "Academy Task: The Curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts" had a slight change.

Among the four achievements with question marks in this mission, the first question mark has become "Achievement: Quirrell's Trust": Earn Quirrell's trust.Achievement reward: Extract a skill from Quirrell and award 5 skill points.

Dean suddenly became energetic. This large-scale task was indeed not easy.

Dean felt that with Quirrell's current state and the information obtained from Legilimency before, it shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish this achievement.

Thinking of this, Dean cleared his throat and said, "I sympathize with your experience..."

"Sympathy? You don't know anything, how can you talk about sympathy?" Quirrell laughed uncontrollably.

"Don't forget that I am proficient in prophecy. I have seen everything that has happened to you." Dean's tone at this time was very much like Professor Trelawney's magic stick.

"This is impossible, I don't believe it!" Quirrell shook his head and took two steps back.

"The family you grew up in was not happy. They never regarded you as a real member. Instead, they thought you were a burden..." Dean felt like a devil at the moment, which made Quirrell recall the most unfortunate side of his heart.

"Don't mention it again!" Quirrell shouted rudely.

"But you are very smart. After entering Ravenclaw, you learned many spells that ordinary wizards cannot master." Dean's tone softened.

Perhaps excellent results were one of Quirrell's few brightest moments, and Quirrell's mood gradually calmed down.

"But this is not enough to change your situation. The Slytherins are always looking for trouble for you. Instead of being your cover, your excellent grades have brought you a lot of worries and troubles." At this point Dean sighed inwardly. When he was young, Quirrell must not have understood the principle of "beautiful in the woods". He was eager to prove himself, but instead brought himself huge trouble.

"Please, don't say any more..." An unbearable expression appeared on Quirrell's face, and it was obvious that he had already realized the mistake he made at that time.

"In fact, you are definitely capable of defeating those provocative Slytherins, but you are afraid of the power they represent, so you shrink back, and you don't even dare to resist or seek shelter from the professor - your cowardice is shown to you without reservation. The 'enemy', and then suffered a more severe blow." Dean said that he felt a little resentful that iron cannot become steel, but Fanqiluo showed some strength consistent with his results at the time, so he would not have fallen to this point.

It's a pity that Quirrell's retreat only solidified his reputation as "all theory but no strength".

"Please..." Quirrell curled up on the ground, deeply shocked.

"When you graduated, the mysterious man fell. You began to deliberately look for traces of the mysterious man, partly out of curiosity, and partly out of a desire for the importance that you had never been noticed." Dean's tone. Gradually he became more severe, and it was from here that Quirrell officially went astray.
