The man behind Hogwarts

"Huh? Sorry, we haven't had any contact, right?"

Seeing his puzzled expression, Quirrell laughed twice, "Although we have never been in contact, your feat in the sorting ceremony is still fresh in my memory."

It turned out to be a sorting ceremony.

William was stunned.

This incident also happened on his first day at Hogwarts: the Sorting Ceremony.

He beat three Slytherins during the sorting ceremony (Fran: I am one of the 'three Slytherins', from TNN, and my name doesn't even deserve to appear, right?). When he thought about it, he remembered it. It was strange at that time. Law sat next to Snape.

"Haha, is that a feat in your eyes?" William looked at him, "The teachers were extremely angry at that time. Professor McGonagall's expression almost frightened me."

"Of course it's a feat."

Quirrell praised bluntly: "You had a fight on the first day you entered school. The targets of the fight were three senior Slytherins, and you even won! Tsk tsk, Professor Snape and I were both shocked at that time. "

Snape: Nonsense, I don't.

"By the way, why are you looking for me today?"

"It's like this. I used to live in the world of ordinary people, so I am very interested in the Muggle Studies class. Today I want to ask you some questions about this class."

"I see. No problem, just ask."

So William asked a few questions casually, taking the opportunity to intentionally close the relationship during mutual communication.

It was impossible for him to ask him directly about Crohn. The two of them had never spoken before, so it would be too abrupt to ask him directly.

He estimated the time in his heart, and after ten minutes he felt that the time had almost come.

At this time, the conversation between the two became more familiar, and William noticed that Quirrell's sitting posture became more relaxed, which meant that he was no longer so vigilant.

"By the way." William asked 'accidentally': "Do you know anything about Professor Crohn? My classmates say that he is the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in recent years. I don't know whether it is true or not."

"Professor Crohn?"

Quirrell leaned back on the sofa relaxedly and muttered: "Professor Crohn is indeed very powerful. He has quite a lot of life experience. He is more than qualified to teach the Defense Against Dark Arts class in our school. Even I admire him very much."

"He has worked in the Ministry of Magic for many years and has always been in combat positions. I heard that he has killed countless dark wizards. Do you think he has a lot of combat experience? Can you learn from him? I’m lucky.”

"That's awesome." William agreed, "Then why did he leave the Ministry of Magic?"

"I don't know about this. He has been away from the Ministry of Magic for several years. He has been living alone in the past few years. I don't know how Principal Dumbledore invited him here."

"But there is a rumor, I don't know if it is accurate..."

William immediately looked at him with a curious expression.

"I heard that the reason why he left the Ministry of Magic was that something happened to his family. He might have been retaliated by dark wizards. He has been seeking revenge in the past few years since he left the Ministry of Magic."

Dark wizard? revenge?

William immediately had a guess in his mind.

Perhaps Crohn killed too many dark wizards when he was at the Ministry of Magic, and as a result, his family was killed by dark wizards, but his official status restricted his behavior and prevented him from unscrupulously avenging his family.

So, he left the Ministry of Magic and embarked on the road of revenge alone...

It's a pity that after walking too much at night, he eventually encountered ghosts. Maybe it was in a recent battle that someone cast the Cruciatus Curse on him. Although he managed to escape by chance, he didn't have much time left.

Just when he was desperate and waiting to die,

I happened to receive an invitation from Dumbledore to be a teacher;

So he readily agreed, came to Hogwarts, and became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

But he actually has an ulterior motive. He wants to use Hogwarts' huge library of books to find ways to delay death.

But there’s a problem with this guess?

It has been a few months since school started this year. If he was struck by the Cruciatus Curse before school started, why is he still alive and well...

These are the three unforgivable curses. Are they so worthless?

"Oh, why did I tell you this?"

Quirrell slapped his forehead and smiled narrowly: "You must never tell others this kind of thing, otherwise Professor Crohn will definitely challenge me for a duel."

"It's okay, Professor, if he challenges you for a duel, I will definitely cheer for you."

"Fuck you." Quirrell smiled, "What's the point of cheering me on? Go fight for me if you can."

"I don't dare to do this. Professor Crohn is so cruel."

"It's not that exaggerated. He's just a little serious. When he was chatting with us, he was also a very good person." Quirrell sighed, "If Professor Crohn doesn't teach this class in the future, I would also like to When I go to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, I'm just worried that I won't be able to defeat Professor Snape."

William looked at him doubtfully.

Quirrell, why do you have this idea? You should really take a time machine to see what it was like when you taught Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Professor, I think you are more suitable for the Muggle Studies class..."

"You don't understand, this is the 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' class! Every wizard hopes to teach this class. Principal Dumbledore wanted to teach this class at first, but he failed. How attractive is this class? powerful."

William shook his head and said nothing.

After just a brief encounter with Quirrell, he felt that this person was pretty good, but the Defense Against the Dark Arts course was really not suitable for him.

"Perhaps we can help him in the future; as for Voldemort? Let him continue to eat grass in Albania, and don't go back to Hogwarts to cause trouble."

Thinking about it,

William unconsciously thought about Voldemort's Horcrux.

It is undeniable that Voldemort's method of making Horcruxes can be called a genius move. If the side effects of Horcruxes can be solved, this method is simply a bug-level ability.

Although the prerequisite for making a Horcrux is to commit 'murder', this prerequisite is easy to achieve, and it is not even too simple.

Make Horcruxes, split souls and place them in them;

The Horcrux is immortal and the wizard is immortal.

Isn't this method a bit similar to the prehistoric novel about killing three corpses and becoming a saint? They both use 'objects' to entrust the soul; it's also a bit like the Lich's Lich Box. Anyway, in various extraordinary legends, this ability is very exciting. Fascinated.

The two chatted like this for a while.

"Okay, thank you very much, I learned a lot." William stood up and left.

"It's okay. You can come here often in the future. I found that your knowledge accumulation is very rich, and I also gained something from talking with you." Quirrell couldn't help but marveled that a first-year wizard could have an equal discussion with him on professional abilities. What an enviable talent.

"Thank you." William walked out and smiled: "I will keep today's conversation a secret."
