Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

"Oh~" The Potions Professor made a strange sound like admiration, "You did it?"

Except for the unidentified dead man who had turned into a human skin bag filled with broken bones and rotten flesh, the other dead were all notorious Death Eaters who had been on the loose for a long time.Coincidentally, the heroes who killed the Death Eaters were also their marked companions.

"Obviously, not." Lucius sighed tiredly, reaching out and pressing his forehead.

"Then, is that the grown-up?"

"Obviously, yes."

"It's not worth your fuss. That adult has always assigned tasks to several people at the same time, and everyone's tasks are kept secret from each other."

"No, it's different, Carterside..."

"Carterside? The former subordinate has become an equal colleague, or even a competitor, so it makes you feel dangerous?"

"Malfoy has never been afraid of competition, because we will always be the best." Lucius shrugged, a proud Malfoy smile on his face, but it was quickly replaced by chagrin , "Do you remember when the Lord asked me for something when I first started school?"

"The thing that the best Malfoy accidentally lost?" Snape laughed mockingly, and then the mockery turned into disbelief and shock, "Merlin! Bloody bastard! I guess you wanted to tell me Could it be that you swallowed something from the Dark Lord?!"

"On the surface, that's what it means." Lucius gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Then what do you want to do now? I hope I can take care of the little dragon after you die?" Head Slytherin, who was addicted to potions and malnourished, became even more ugly.

"Besides, I hid that thing in Carterside's house, and now he..."

"Now he's being reused by the Dark Lord! You've been sold, Lucius!" Snape shrugged, his tone somewhat gloating, but his expression was rarely serious, "Okay, now I don't have to take care of the little dragon, Mal The Fu family is extinct!"

"No, he didn't summon me right away to kill me." Lucius shook his head, "Either, it was just a coincidence that he activated Carterside, and he didn't know who had it. Or, he was waiting for me to take the initiative to beg for mercy." , and then get more benefits from me, after all, if the Malfoy family is really extinct, then Malfoy's property will only be cheaper to the Ministry of Magic, and the Dark Lord wouldn't like to see that happen."

"So, you came to me to ask me to make an appointment with that adult?"

"Yes, thank you for your help, Severus, my best friend." Lucius smiled, charmingly, even in his pajamas.

"Oh! What a bastard you are, Lucius Malfoy!"

"Thousands of years ago, during the heyday of Christianity, wizards and other magical creatures became aliens and demons that Muggle society rejected. Forgive me for using such a bloody, repeated countless times, and it seems that it has nothing to do with elves , but this is really important for what I'm going to say later."

Hermione nodded, showing that she was listening carefully.

"Wizards resisted and fled in order to survive, and then Hogwarts was established to protect young wizards. Hermione, do you know who founded Hogwarts?"

"Godric Gryffindor..."

"Oh, wait, I know who you are talking about, the four founders of the academy, right?"

Hermione was obviously confused. Quirrell himself mentioned the "Four Founders", so do we still need to ask her this question?The little witch nodded in bewilderment.

"Hermione, this castle is magical to little Muggle-born wizards. But in fact, it is equally magical to the wizarding world, and even to little wizards from great aristocrats. But the former It is because they have never been exposed to magic before, but for the latter, it is because they know the greatness of this castle. Hogwarts was established thousands of years ago, with only four wizards and four families, it is Can I have everything I have today?"

"You mean... the four founders are not the founders?"

"No, they are the founders, or they are the leaders, initiators, and commanders, but this does not mean that everything was done by the four of them, and it does not mean that only the four of them paid. Large-scale and permanent The solidified Muggle expulsion spell, the huge and solid Hogwarts castle filled with magical atmosphere, all kinds of magic items piled up in the castle, and an astonishing number of elves, this is not something that just four wizards or four families can do. Arrived."

"You mean to say that many wizard families were involved?"

"Yes, 'Hogwarts is the safest place to protect all young wizards', every wizard in 1000 years knows this sentence, because it has become a proverb that has been passed down for 1000 years, But 1000 years ago, in that era full of killings, when Hogwarts was first established, could all British wizards send their children here with confidence just by relying on the reputation of four wizards?"

"That is to say, at that time wizards sent children to Hogwarts because they had already decided that it was a safe place. And the best explanation for why they could decide that was that many of them were Participated in the establishment of Hogwarts!"

"Nobles in the wizarding world pay attention to blood. In order to protect their offspring, they must be willing to give everything..." Quirrell smiled, "And through magic contracts, elves can be lent out. The origin of the elves - they still belong to a family, but they cannot return to the family to serve. However, in order to ensure that the children here will not use the elves of the family to do some excessive things, so Hogwarts Elves are forbidden to tell their true family."

"So, what I'm doing is actually killing them?" Hermione tugged on her "SPEW" sign, clearly disappointed. "Hermione, you really want to do something for someone, don't you?"

"Yes." With her head down, Hermione finally took the logo off and put it in the box, then tightened the box, and Quirrell could see a tear fall on the lid.

Quirrell feels a little tricky. Hermione is very strong, confident, and proud. She studies hard and expresses herself because she likes it, and because she wants to prove herself and win everyone's love.But now her thinking is too naive, her thinking is not comprehensive, and she is still in Gryffindor House - although most Gryffindors care about college points, they hate serious study, and they despise the rules and don't like restraint .

What's more, now is the intensified period of conflict between Gryffindor and other colleges, and Hermione's situation will definitely not be "very good", and may even be very bad.

"Hermione, in fact, the things I told you today are just my personal inferences based on some information. There is no real written information in the wizarding world about how Hogwarts was established thousands of years ago. Therefore, I What I told you may not be correct, this is just my personal opinion."

"Professor, I don't understand what you mean?" Hermione had never felt that her brain was not enough.

"What I mean is, I have my own opinion on the elf matter - that's what I told you just now. So I refuse to join 'SPEW', and your friends, should have their position too, it's just that they The eloquence is not as good as mine, and I can’t convince you of their views. This means that things have multiple sides, everyone has their own position, right and wrong, who can know the real correct answer? ?If you really want to do something for the elves, then get to know them first, don't tell them what is right and what is wrong from the human standpoint, but start from the elf's standpoint and feel the elves' right Wrong, and then, you decide what you want to do. And, I don’t know if it’s about elves, but it can be the same for other things—don’t say “I think” first, but think about “the other party’s why.”

"I think... I kind of understand what you mean, professor. I should put myself in other people's shoes and put myself in other people's shoes, shouldn't I?"

"You're smart, Hermione." Quirrell smiled. "Then I thought I could ask you a favor and let one of Ron or Harry come in later."

"Okay, I'd love to help!"

It was Ron who came in next. Obviously, while Quirrell and Hermione were talking, the two boys had already discussed the order.

"Professor Quirrell, I don't think you should be referred to this matter, but I have consulted many professors, and I can only..." Ron's face was flushed, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Would you like some hot cocoa, Ron?" Quirrell patted Ron on the shoulder. Most children liked physical contact, especially Ron, who lacked confidence and felt insecure.

"Thank you Professor."

"It's not very sweet, but it will make you very comfortable. So, is there anything I can do for you?" Seeing Ron take a big sip of hot cocoa and let out a sigh of satisfaction, Quirrell began to ask.

"Yes, my mouse is lost, it's called Scabbers..." Ron began to tell all the clues about the mouse, including of course it lost a finger, it lived in the Weasley family for more than ten years, etc. "Can you get it back, Professor?"

Quirrell originally thought that Peter had been hiding in the gutters of Hogwarts all these years, but he never thought that he was hiding in the home of a die-hard member of the Order of the Phoenix.Should it be said that Peter pretends to be a mouse too much?Or should I say that Arthur Weasley is too useless?There is a clear difference between an Animagus and a real animal, or magical creature!What's more... As long as you are a normal wizard, you won't just bring pets of unknown origin to your home, right?

"Sorry, Ron, I can't help you find your Scabbers."

"Oh! I...I mean I know, I understand...I..."

"Ron, would you be interested in doing me a little favor every Monday afternoon?"

"Yes."

"Oh, you're nervous again. It's not labor service, but I hope you, in fact, your team can do me a favor." Quirrell thought about it, if only Ron was called, it would be too conspicuous , is not good for this child, and their group includes four types of hemp seed, generational pure blood, non-pure blood of one parent, and unstable magic power, which can just help him research—of course, it will not harm these at all Under the premise of the child’s physical condition, “Because it’s not labor service, but I want you to help me conduct a private research, so before Christmas, no matter what the results of the research are, I will give each of you a small gift, maybe a A new pet?"

"Professor! It's, it's not worth it, I..." Ron jumped up from the sofa, obviously thinking that Quirrell was sitting on it all for him.

"Don't get so excited Ron, and I do need your help, you'll know when you help on Monday. And don't say you don't deserve it, you'll do your best to help me, won't you? That's you value!" Quirrell felt a little despicable, because it was obvious that the kid was really worried about the pet.But what he cares about is not the pet itself, but his possession.And in fact, it was he who killed the child's pet, so if he exchanged his labor for a small gift, he still earned it.

"Thank you, Professor Quirrell..."

Then, the last one to come in is of course Harry Potter, the blue-eyed kitten.

"Professor Quirrell, I used the method you taught me to interpret Dean Snape's words, but I think the dean really hates me, or...he hates me!?"
