Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Quirrell watched Mrs. Pince turn the corner with a smile, then put away his smile and dragged Dean to a corner deep in the forbidden book area.

"Ever since someone asked me to give me an approval note for the restricted book area, I have been wondering which curious student wants to go to the restricted book area. What is his purpose?" Quirrell stared at Dean closely. eyes asked.

The system was frantically prompting someone to use Legilimency on him, but Dean didn't panic at all.

"So you've been staying here, right? No wonder you happened to show up as soon as I took out the batch slip." Dean tried his best to synchronize his words and thoughts so that Quirrell wouldn't find out that he was under Occlumency. protection of.

"Answer me, Dean, what are you doing in the forbidden book area?" Quirrell growled nervously.

"As I said just now, I want to find out knowledge about trolls." Dean blinked pretending to be innocent.

"Don't try to get away with it. I don't remember telling the first-year students about trolls." Quirrell frowned.

Legilimency revealed that Dean wasn't lying, which was very strange.

"But you taught it to the third-grade students as soon as school started. I guess you will teach it to us sooner or later, maybe at the end of the semester? When we are older. So I want to do my homework in advance so that I can wait for you to give it. When we talk about trolls, I can be 'Mr. Know-It-All' for once~" Dean showed his resentment towards Hermione for answering everything just right, trying to make Quirrell think that this was a competition between him and Hermione. .

Dean got the news about the trolls from the Weasley twins. Once he and the twins played a trick on Peeves. When he got the news, he also completed the "Naughty Bag's Favor" mission and gained 2 skill points. At the same time, he easily gained 50 points of favorability from each of the twins, activating the bond with the twins.

The bonus effect of the twin bond is to increase the success rate of pranks, which really made Dean depressed for a long time.

If it weren't for the shortage of skill points, he shouldn't take the initiative to complete that task.

"Aha~ Mr. Know-It-All! It seems that you are also disgusted with some of Miss Granger's behaviors, right?" Quirrell smiled tolerantly.

There was nothing unusual about Legilimency, so it seemed like Dean wasn't lying.

"I hope Hermione can notice this earlier, otherwise it will be difficult for her to make real friends." Dean shrugged helplessly.

"I think as a friend, you can give her this advice." Quirrell said expressionlessly.

It's a pity that she and I are not friends yet.

Dean was thinking this in his mind, but changed the subject and said, "Professor Quirrell, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used the Unforgivable Curse to make things difficult for you in that Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"It's all in the past, I can barely remember it anymore." Quirrell replied dryly.

"In the last few Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, I noticed that your face was not very good, so I bought this specially. I hope I have the opportunity to give it to you to express my apology." Dean took out a bottle of energy potion and said, Hand it to Quirrell sincerely.

A touch of emotion flashed in Quirrell's eyes. After a moment of silence, he said in surprise: "Energy potion? This is a hot commodity."

Dean said with a heartbroken face: "I spent a lot of effort to get it. I hope it can be helpful to you."

Dean is definitely not afraid that Quirrell will investigate the source of this bottle of energy potion. In the magical world, he has only exchanged letters with Mundungus recently. If he is found, he will definitely give Dean a call because of the existence of the Unbreakable Vow. cover.

"Sorry, I can't accept it." Quirrell did not touch the bottle of energy potion.

"Professor Quirrell, your condition looks really bad. I don't want to lose the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor before Christmas - I'm still waiting for you to kill the troll!" Dean said mischievously. Winked at Quirrell.

Through some exchanges with Quirrell in the Room of Requirement, Dean discovered that although Quirrell had gone astray, he was not hopeless. He wanted to give it a try - after all, the "rescue" mission was still unclear. The first school year was all about saving Quirrell. If Dean gave up on Quirrell, wouldn't he have failed the mission from the beginning?

How could he save Sirius and the others he really wanted to save in the future?

I don't know what Dean's words said touched Quirrell. He hesitated for a long time, then reached out and took the energy potion: "Dean, I owe you a favor."

"No, Professor Quirrell, I owe you this." After Dean said sincerely, a prompt popped up in the system.

“The host’s sincerity won the favor of Professor Quirrell (favorability +50), unlocking Quirrell’s bond.

Quirrell's bond: magic link. The host can designate an item to share the magic power to achieve the effect of simultaneous spell casting. Gain effect: the higher Quirrell's favorability, the smaller the attenuation caused by the magic link. "

This bond is interesting, and it seems that it can be used in many ways. Dean's first idea was to create a "magic link" with the Thunderbird wand, so that he could ignore the "mental power attenuation" effect and no longer be troubled by the delay of the spell. ——Of course it’s not as good as using the Thunderbird wand to cast spells directly.

I didn't expect that the buff effect of "Qi Luo's Bond" is so powerful.

"Since you want to go to the forbidden book area, why don't you go to me directly to get the approval slip, instead of going around in such a big circle and asking Caractacus to come to me for it?" After accepting the energy potion, Quirrell said to Dean His attitude has improved significantly, he asked with some confusion.

Dean could only laugh at this. Quirrell would never give him a note before the bond was established.

However, Dean's attention was completely attracted by the name Quirrell mentioned, which seemed to be Bock's full name. Unexpectedly, Mundungus ended up asking for Bock's head. What does this mean?It shows that Mundungus' Big Bok and Quirrell have a good relationship!

While thinking about the meaning of the relationship between Quirrell and Burke, Dean said quickly, "I didn't know that this approval slip was difficult to get, so I mentioned it by the way when I wrote to my friend. Unexpectedly, he helped me. It’s done—Professor, does he owe you a big favor? If possible, I hope to repay it for him.”

"I don't think so. It's hard to calculate the gains and losses." Quirrell replied slowly, "But if it's convenient for you, can you help me check some information while checking the troll information?"

"You can give me your orders - but I'm afraid of Mrs. Pince's side..." Dean said with some embarrassment.

"I will explain it to Mrs. Pince." Quirrell did not pay attention, but lowered his voice and said: "I would like to ask you to help check the information about the Mysterious Walker."

"Secret Walker? It sounds a bit spooky." Dean pretended to shrink his neck uncontrollably, and at the same time his heart sank. It seemed that Voldemort was still suspicious.
