Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

Seeing Dumbledore walking towards Aragog, the knuckles of Quirrell's fingers holding the wand turned white from the force.

In several confrontations with Dumbledore, although on the surface they seemed to win each other, in fact, most of his victories came from Dumbledore's voluntary abandonment.For example, in the first year he stopped Dumbledore from putting the Philosopher's Stone in the school.But in fact, Dumbledore wanted to use the Sorcerer's Stone as a bait to deal with him at the beginning, and his performance at the time clearly expressed the fact that "the Sorcerer's Stone is not attractive to me at all"!Otherwise, if Dumbledore continues to insist, those professors who also expressed their opposition will continue to insist, or will they give in to Dumbledore, and finally let the Philosopher's Stone enter the school. This is definitely a problem.

Quirrell's biggest failure is that the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching for the first to third grades was deprived from his hands. Although he himself did not think well, this so-called punishment was definitely not handled impartially by Dumbledore .After that, although he pulled back a game from outside the campus, Dumbledore's decision could not be changed.

The reason for all this is that there is a fundamental gap between him and Dumbledore - Dumbledore is the principal and the leader, while he is just a professor and a pawn.In particular, Hogwarts is a school with thousands of years of history and tradition. In other words, it is a school with an extremely backward management system. Under the control of Dumbledore, an extremely smart white wizard, his power as the headmaster has been infinitely magnified.When Dumbledore really made up his mind to do something, Quirrell was actually powerless to stop it.

Just like this group of acromantulas, Quirrell can yell at Dumbledore, "It's wrong to sign with them!" and give countless examples of mistakes.But Dumbledore only needs to smile and say "Those mistakes don't matter, everything is not a problem with me.", and then sign the contract.Saying anything is just a waste of words, and now he has only two choices: [-]. Kill all the acromantulas before Dumbledore and Aragog sign the contract; The result is that he can only give up his professorship as the main professor, and turn the Dark Lord's deputy to a regular position...

But just when there was a faint red light in Quirrell's eyes, and when he was about to go berserk because of losing his mind, things turned again.

Professor McGonagall stopped Dumbledore: "Principal Dumbledore, should we talk about this matter again?" Although Professor McGonagall is not proficient in magical biology, she is an adult wizard who is not weak in combat , I still have some understanding of the dangerous magic creature like the acromantula.Although she also had the idea of ​​getting along with these guys in peace at the beginning, as a rare and cautious Gryffindor, especially thinking of the group of lively little guys she managed, McGonagall quickly wavered It dissipated.

"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, you pickled yourself in molasses during your summer vacation so that the molasses replaced your brains and completely deprived you of your normal senses. Do you have the ability to think?" After McGonagall spoke, it was the "Hogwarts Scene" who spoke coldly, Snape's face was stinky, and I don't know if it was because Professor McGonagall took him first, or because someone else of what.

"Principal Dumbledore, several of my classmates are members of the Scottish acromantula breeding base. If they just want to find a quiet place to survive and reproduce, it is more suitable for them than the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts." He Although Fupafu's little badgers are very obedient, they are also very confused. It is uncertain when a few of the most confused ones will run into the Forbidden Forest.Compared with the mischievous Gryffindor, the calm and cunning Slytherin, and the well-informed Ravenclaw, the Forbidden Forest is much more dangerous to dizzy little badgers.

"Principal Dumbledore, the magical creatures Hogwarts protects must be endangered and harmless to wizards. So there are centaurs and unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, and there are mermaids and giant octopuses in the Black Lake, but eight Acromantula's favorite food is wizards..."

At this moment, not only Dumbledore looked at his four deans with astonished eyes, but also Quirrell.Of course, besides surprise, Quirrell is more happy!

Although these deans had also stood on the united front with him before, except for Snape, the others were obviously timid.After all, Dumbledore is not only their current headmaster and superior, but also their professor or headmaster when they were young, a hero in the magic world, and a great leader.And before Quirrell came to Hogwarts, Dumbledore was essentially the only decision maker at Hogwarts.It is not easy for these professors to stand against such a great man.

Moreover, Professor McGonagall had already contacted Hagrid before, whether she was to inform or ask.Quirrell thinks that she already knows about the existence of the Acantara. She has been delaying waiting for Dumbledore to come back, which is actually a kind of maintenance for her own person—Hagrid.The choice of Professor McGonagall indirectly affects Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick. The three of them are friends in private, and the latter two mostly use McGonagall as the standard in many decisions.As for Snape, Quirrell didn't think he would stand out when the other three deans didn't speak, and he was stronger than the other three in terms of control over the academy.As long as the Snake King gives an order, the little snakes will never step into the Forbidden Forest.

Therefore, Quirrell never thought that the four deans would stand by him this time!

Since Quirrell didn't even think of it, Dumbledore certainly couldn't think of it.He can ignore Quirrell's words, but the deans, especially Professor McGonagall, can't.Because for Dumbledore, McGonagall is his real subordinate.The Order of the Phoenix has been able to operate to this day under the condition of severe shortage of funds, thanks to this strict and capable lady, Dumbledore did not want to have a rift with his capable assistant.

"..." Under Hagrid's expectant eyes, Dumbledore stopped and turned to the Hogwarts professors, "Well, we really need to continue to study this matter. I think everyone I'm tired too, let's go back to Hogwarts first. But I hope that no one will disclose the information about the acromantula before the final decision on this matter." When he said the last sentence, Dumbledore His eyes looked straight at Quirrell.

Quirrell also knows that if he doesn't agree, then it is very likely that Dumbledore will turn around and sign a contract with the big spider, and in that case he can only start fighting.Sighing helplessly, Quirrell nodded along with the others.As the principal, Dumbledore has an innate advantage in Hogwarts, and the children are innocent. What they should do at this age is to learn and grow up, instead of getting entangled in the open and secret struggles of the adults.So Quirrell has been trying to find a way to bring the focus of the battle to the outside world, but now it seems that the school has to fight even if it can't fight!Otherwise, what Dumbledore wants to keep in the Forbidden Forest today is an acromantula, and what he wants to move in tomorrow is a group of dragons!

King's Cross Station, platform nine and a quarter

Sirius held Harry's arm, his black eyes staring like brass bells - because standing opposite him were the Malfoy father and son.For Sirius Black, all Slytherins except Harry Potter are his enemies!

Harry was a little helpless, but at least his godfather didn't yell at him directly this time. Fortunately, Sirius had become much calmer since returning from the last banquet at Malfoy's house.Harry waved helplessly at Draco, and Draco raised his left eyebrow very Malfoy, then pulled his father away.Immediately, Sirius, who was covered in fried hair just now, returned to normal.

"Godfather, I'm leaving." Harry said goodbye to Black.

"..." Sirius looked at Harry with complicated eyes. He knew that he should say goodbye and wish Harry a good time at Hogwarts, but when he thought that Harry's house was Slytherin, all his blessings I can't even say it.

Harry pushed the cart and turned to leave, but after only taking two steps, he turned back again: "Godfather, you said, you said that my mother gave everything for me, she loves me very much, of course, I Love her too. Then, godfather, do you love your mother?"

"Harry?" Sirius was very happy that Harry turned his head, but what Harry said made him unhappy. He frowned and said with some disgust, "What did that crazy woman say to you?"

"Mrs. Black didn't say anything to me." Harry bit his lip, "I just wanted to ask."

Sirius looked helpless, he scratched his black hair irritably, and then said to Harry: "I used to love her very much, but now, I...she is a woman who has nothing but blood, black magic, money and power. A crazy woman who doesn't care about anything! She doesn't love me at all, why should I love her? She never paid anything for me!"

Harry looked at his godfather, and honestly he didn't feel sorry for him when he entered Azkaba, it was his own fault.But now, Harry felt sorry for him: "Godfather, do you know why Mrs. Black stuck herself to the wall of the hall on the first floor?"

"Because she wants to stay in her noble Black Manor forever~haha..." Sirius said in an aria, the tone was not as noble as Malfoy's, it just made people feel ridiculous.

But Harry didn't laugh: "You can see the gate directly from there, and Mrs. Black can see anyone who comes in-if the curtain doesn't cover her, godfather, grandma does want to guard that house, but it's important What's more, she is waiting for someone to come back..."

Harry turned and left, this time without hesitation, behind him, his godfather stood there with a blank expression on his face.
