Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

Spiders are not a rare species, and most people cannot distinguish the types of spiders. This is true in the Muggle world, as well as in the wizarding world.

And obviously, Hagrid knew in his heart that Aragog's existence violated wizarding laws. When he knew that a professor had entered the Forbidden Forest, he would warn Aragog's descendants in advance to avoid it.And in normal times, he would also restrict Aragog's descendants from hiding deep in the north of the Forbidden Forest—from this point of view, Hagrid still has a little cautious concept, but he probably never thought that one day Aragog When he died, or he himself had to leave Hogwarts for some reason, what kind of harm these spiders would cause to the children living and studying at Hogwarts.

But it was also because of Hagrid's caution that when McGonagall replaced Dumbledore to perform the duties of the headmaster and called all the professors in the school to the staff lounge to ask about the situation of the acromant in the Forbidden Forest.Those professors who don't often enter the Forbidden Forest naturally don't know anything about the Acromantula, and the professors who enter the Forbidden Forest from time to time because of their profession or hobby are not very clear about the existence of the Acromantula.

Although Professor Sprout had seen huge spiders before, he didn't see the species clearly.Only Snape had caught one three years ago, and disassembled it to make his own potion ingredients.

"This is really interesting~" When Snape finished talking about his experience of hunting acromantula, Lockhart suddenly pointed at Snape and said, "If Professor Snape really saw eight-eyed spiders three years ago Acromantus, then why didn't you inform Principal Dumbledore at that time, so that these eight-legged bugs could be dealt with as soon as possible, and you didn't reveal the existence of this thing until today? Or maybe Professor Snape just wanted to testify for Professor Quirrell, to Prove that acromantia does exist in the Forbidden Forest? Are you two... have a good relationship?"

No matter what impression Lockhart gave to the other professors before, his words now are indeed powerful enough.In an instant, all the professors looked at Quirrell and Lockhart with weird eyes.

"The guy who is complacent because of his ignorance and delusion!" Snape snorted lightly. "The four eyes of that acromantula were in the collection cabinet of our great headmaster at that time."

Although Snape didn't say it clearly, everyone knows the meaning of what he said: he had already notified Dumbledore at that time, and at that time Dumbledore probably told Snape that he would deal with it, since Dumbledore didn't say anything later What, Snape, who didn't have the "good habit" of meddling in other people's business, and didn't meet Acromantus again, of course he wouldn't meddle in his own business again.

At this time, everyone's eyes moved away from Snape and Quirrell, and turned to McGonagall, and Professor McGonagall's face had turned blue-gray.

The reason why Professor McGonagall changed his face was precisely because she had already thought of a deeper reason, that is, why Dumbledore not only did not deal with it after learning that there were dangerous magical creatures appearing in the Forbidden Forest, but he did not even report to the professor and students. They sounded the warning—Hagrid!

Hagrid likes magical creatures that are aggressive, strong, huge, ugly, dangerous, and so on.Adult acromantids obviously possessed all five characteristics at the same time, and it was likely that these spiders were Hagrid's pets.

"I think, let's wait until Principal Dumbledore comes back to deal with this matter." Professor McGonagall is fair enough, but Dumbledore has too much influence on her, which makes her face big things, especially When it comes to Dumbledore's major events, he often lacks his own opinions...

As expected, this meeting ended hastily after a decision was made that "all professors are forbidden to enter the Forbidden Forest alone".

When returning to his office, Quirrell saw McGonagall hurrying towards the hut next to the Forbidden Forest through the window.Quirrell watched her enter the cabin before taking another step.

When he first entered Hogwarts, he just wanted to be a professor under Dumbledore honestly for the rest of his life.However, some of Dumbledore's actions made it impossible for him to continue to maintain his original intention. In order to save his life, he had to shoulder the identity of the Dark Lord. At this moment, no matter in public or private, he must firmly stand by Dumbledore. the opposite of.

And Hogwarts has almost become Dumbledore's private property since decades ago, and everyone thinks that Dumbledore's position in Hogwarts is indestructible.But now it seems that this is not the case.

The professors all have their own moral standards. In fact, the reason why they were closely united around Dumbledore is actually the little savior Harry who should be most grateful! Eleven years ago, Voldemort died suddenly at the peak of his career, and the Death Eaters who lost their leader disappeared overnight.And the only surviving anti-Voldemort force at that time, the Order of the Phoenix, also rose accordingly.

However, if you look at the real history, such as the memory of Voldemort in Quirrell's head, you can know that in fact, most of the people who really confronted the Death Eaters at that time died.Although Dumbledore has always said nice things, but he has always stayed at Hogwarts and commanded remotely. It is true that Voldemort is afraid of him, but it is true that Dumbledore did not directly initiate a duel against Voldemort like he did to Grindelwald. .

When Voldemort died, it happened to be the time when the rest of the resistance was dead and the Order of the Phoenix had to confront it directly.Two years after Voldemort's death, there is absolutely no Order of the Phoenix.But he died at that time, and the savior Harry Potter was hidden again. The wizards who escaped from the dead could not know the whereabouts of the real benefactor, so they put all their gratitude and glory on Phoenix The head of Dumbledore, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, and the Order of the Phoenix.

After going through the so-called war years that seemed dangerous but actually safe, these years of peace and harmony, on the surface, these professors have long been unwavering in their loyalty to Dumbledore.But in fact, those fluctuations are just hidden under the ice.Quirrell either heats up slowly, or beats it piecemeal, then the ice surface will melt and crack one day...

Although McGonagall said that the Octopus would be resolved after Dumbledore returned, Dumbledore never came back.And the professors' concerns about these dangerous magical creatures may not have weakened over time, on the contrary, they have become more worried.Because the school is about to start, every college has a few regular visitors to the Forbidden Forest. The professors knew about it in the past, but they just didn't mention it. After all, they also had their youth.

But now that they know the existence of those spiders, what if they don't pay attention this year and let some little guy become the spider's dinner?

And it was Professor McGonagall who had the hardest time during this period. Not only did he have to worry about the naughty guys in Gryffindor, after all, Gryffindor had the most frequent visitors to the Forbidden Forest, but he also had to worry about Dumbledore's attitude when he returned. Hagrid's attitude speculated that Hagrid was indeed the keeper of those spiders, but he obviously didn't think he had done anything wrong, and since Dumbledore concealed Snape's discovery three years ago, he protected him and his family. spider, then it is very likely that he will still make the same choice three years later.

McGonagall can be sure that if Dumbledore does that, Professor Quirrell will definitely confront Dumbledore again-he has done a lot of similar things since the day he came to this school, which makes McGonagall even more What is at a loss is that the things that Quirrell and Dumbledore are against are often right.

Seeing that school will start in two days, and Dumbledore has not come back yet.All the professors couldn't sit still.They can't wait any longer!

Professor McGonagall gathered most of the professors, divided them into several groups with combat effectiveness, searched the Forbidden Forest, and planned to find out the location of the acromantula nest first. If there were not many of them, they would be wiped out on the spot. If there were more of them , retreated after finding out, and then notified the Ministry of Magic.

"Professor McGonagall, should we reconsider? After all, whether those acromantulas exist is still a question. Even if they exist, we don't need so many excellent professors to dispatch together?" Lockhart was wearing a very fancy dress. Purple robe, pale face leaning against the door of Hogwarts.If his legs hadn't been trembling, his words might have had a bit of persuasion.

"Professor Lockhart, we..." McGonagall had a gloomy face, dragging this guy into the Forbidden Forest by his collar and keeping him in the castle so as not to drag him down, but before he could make a choice, Lockhart's face turned from white to red in an instant, and he happily greeted her behind.

"Principal Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore was wearing an emerald green robe. Although his eyes were still piercing as usual, his thin cheeks could not conceal his fatigue. He looked dusty and dusty, and he must have traveled for a long time.

"Everyone here? Are you here to welcome me?" Dumbledore smiled and opened his arms.
