Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"What? Could it be that you also know the 'Memory Isolation Spell'?" Quirrell felt that his throat was a little dry. He seemed to have underestimated the ability of the Mysterious Walker.

"It's just some improvements on the memory spell. It's not that difficult. I think I can master it." Dean's confident answer hit Quirrell deeply. It was a spell that he had worked hard to develop.

Dean looked at the "Memory Isolation Spell" in the magic talent system, which he directly upgraded to the full level with skill points, and was convinced that he must be better used by Quirrell, the original creator.

Those 7 skill points were a bit of a pity, but since this was related to Voldemort, Dean felt that no amount of caution could be too much.

"If you're ready, let's get started," Dean reminded.

"Okay." Quirrell raised his wand to his temple.

Dean pointed the Thunderbird wand at the temple on the other side of Quirrell, and whispered softly at the same time as Quirrell: "Memory isolation!"

Quirrell's eyes became holey, and Dean once again used the hypnosis technique he learned in his previous life, and whispered in Quirrell's ear: "Tonight in the Room of Requirement, I helped you make a prophecy about the Philosopher's Stone, and told The way you contacted me. I didn’t know the existence of your master, and you never mentioned to me that you wanted to get rid of your master..."

After pushing Quirrell away from the door, who was in a temporary state of unconsciousness, Dean used magic spells to clear away all traces of fog, confusion spells and Veritaserum, and then quietly left the Room of Requirement.

The door behind him clicked shut again. After Dean hurriedly returned to the dormitory, Dean let out a sigh of relief - his bed was still the same as when he left. Apparently no one noticed that he hadn't returned all night, and he was worried about himself. Very satisfied with tonight's action.

I don’t know how the system calculated it, maybe it didn’t regard Peeves as a creature, so the task of “Mission: Gryffindors’ nanny” was successfully completed.

While gaining 2 skill points, Dean's favorability with Harry, Hermione, Ron and Neville increased by 20 points respectively.

As an unexpected surprise, as the favorability level increased, Dean activated "Ron's Bond", and he discovered that the favorability level between him and Ron was just stuck at 49 points. No wonder He was the first to activate the bond. Sensitive.

The gain effect given by Ron's bond is very wonderful: "Occasionally, the luck value will be slightly increased, and the increasing effect is related to Ron's favorability."

As for whether this "occasionally" is a metaphysical issue, Dean feels that it is just like the prophetic illusion effect of Prokos's robe. When it is triggered depends entirely on the face.

……

After dinner that day, Dean took the approval note from Professor Quirrell that Mundungus helped him get, and came to the restricted book area of ​​the library.

A week has passed since he pretended to be a Mystic Walker to fool Professor Quirrell. Everything was calm, but for some reason Dean always felt a little uneasy, as if he had forgotten something.

Dean wasn't sure if it was his own nerves or the prophetic power of Procus's robes affecting him.

After waiting patiently for a period of time, Dean finally couldn't help but want to continue his plan: looking for the Invisibility Curse, the Disguise Curse and the records about the Mysterious Walker in the forbidden book area.

"What are you looking for, kid?" As soon as Dean came to the restricted book area, the librarian Mrs. Pince flashed in front of Dean like a ghost.

She waved a feather duster in her hand, and Dean doubted that if he couldn't give her an answer that satisfied her, the feather duster would fall on him mercilessly.

"I'm here to look for some information." Dean answered truthfully.

Mrs. Pince looked Dean up and down suspiciously: "Child, I don't think the forbidden book area has the information you need - this is not a place where a little wizard of your age should come."

"But I have the professor's approval note." Dean was prepared for this and immediately handed over Professor Quirrell's approval note with both hands.

Mrs. Pince took the approval slip and saw it read: "The students holding this approval slip are hereby authorized to borrow books from the restricted book area. Quirinus Quirrell."

The suspicion on Mrs. Pince's face did not diminish at all: "It is indeed Professor Quirrell's handwriting, but I don't understand why he would approve a first-year freshman to enter the restricted book area-couldn't you have picked up this approval note?" ?”

"Mrs. Pingsi, if I picked up the approval note, then where is the owner? If such an important thing is lost, doesn't it need to be reported?" Dean asked calmly.

Mrs. Pince was obviously stunned for a moment. Dean's answer was very reasonable, but she was still a little hesitant about whether to let Dean into the restricted book area. After all, Dean was too young.

The books in the restricted area contain powerful dark arts that are never taught in Hogwarts classrooms and can only be read by senior students when they are studying the advanced "Defense Against the Dark Arts".

"Mrs. Pince, are you in trouble?" While Mrs. Pince was hesitating, Quirrell's voice appeared at the right time.

"Ah~ Professor Quirrell, you came just in time. This student is holding your approval slip and wants to enter the restricted book area. I'm not sure whether this approval slip..." Mrs. Pince said immediately.

"Ah, yes. I know this motivated young man, Dean Thomas, and I did give him this approval note not long ago." Professor Quirrell's face was very pale, as if he was recovering from a serious illness. After taking a look at Dean, he didn't expose him.

"Professor Quirrell, I don't understand the purpose of giving him this approval note. You should know that the books in the restricted area are not suitable for students of his age." Mrs. Pince said angrily.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Pince. I'm very interested in some magical creatures that Professor Quirrell talked about in class, but the descriptions in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" are not very detailed, so I wanted to come to the restricted book area to find some information." An said quickly.

Although he didn't know why Quirrell was covering for him, Dean didn't think Quirrell would even think of a reason for him, so he could only bite the bullet and do it himself.

"'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is the best book about magical creatures. If anything is described briefly, there is only one explanation. That creature is too dangerous to be known to most people!" Mrs. Pince said somewhat. said angrily.

"You are right, Mrs. Pince. But Professor Quirrell talked about trolls in class, and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" happens to have very few descriptions, so..." Dean turned to Quirrell for help. .

Quirrell glanced at Dean with a profound look, and then said with great reluctance: "I did talk about the troll - Mrs. Pince. If you agree, I can help you keep an eye on Dean to ensure that he will not read the giant monster. Other books on blame.”

"It's crazy to teach about trolls to students in the first grade..." Seeing Quirrell's obvious protectiveness towards Dean, Mrs. Pince reluctantly said "yes" and left them chatteringly.
