Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

Quirrell determined that these silver thread grasses had been activated. Although there was still a certain gap compared to the freshly picked grasses, they were indeed more vigorous than the dried grasses.Quirrell put down the grass and asked seriously, "Neville, are you good at growing magic plants?"

"Yes, Professor, is there a problem?" Neville nodded tremblingly, which was one of the few things he was proud of.

Quirrell patted Neville's shoulder and smiled: "No, don't be nervous, you are very talented, Neville." While saying this, Quirrell released his silver patron saint, for this beautiful beast Well, the little animals are already very familiar with it. I heard that this spell was taught in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the fourth grade, which really made them look forward to it.

The silver beast ran out nimbly, and then... the black potions professor walked in aggressively.The small animals who looked at the door expectantly were terrified, and a few even destroyed the amulets they were about to complete because of this.

"Professor Snape, can you help me look after the children for half an hour? I'm going to take Neville out for a while."

Snape looked at Quirrell, then at Neville who was hiding behind Quirrell in fear, snorted disdainfully, but at the same time nodded slightly.

"Great, thank you very much."

Afterwards, Quirrell dropped the terrified animals and led Neville towards his office on the third floor.

"Professor, what's the matter with me? Am I suffering from a serious illness?" Nawei asked hesitantly when he went upstairs.

Quirrell was stunned for a moment, and then secretly thought that he was sloppy, he rushed out with that excitedly, one can imagine how disturbed the little guy was.Quirrell immediately slowed down, and the expression on his face was no longer so urgent: "No, you are not sick, Neville. As I said, you are very talented."

"?" Neville's round face was full of puzzlement.

"You know my condition," Quirrell pointed to the two small horns on his head. For some reason, this thing and the wings on his back remained in this miniature state. Fortunately, the wings could cover them. Jiao can also simply cover it with his hair when necessary, "This is the awakening of the bloodline. After that, not only will my magic power increase, but I will also gain certain abilities from the ancestors of ancient magical creatures."

"You mean that I have something to do with the awakening of the bloodline?"

"In some ways, it's similar. I suspect that the state that happened to you is called 'inheritance of talent', which is something you are born with, and you don't need to be awakened the day after tomorrow. And this situation is more serious than the awakening of bloodlines. It's much more practical. At least you don't have to worry about growing something that doesn't belong to a wizard." Quirrell rolled his eyes and pointed to the horns on his head again.In fact, in this situation of talent inheritance, although there will be no superfluous things, and they are born with it, each person can only obtain one magical ancestor's ability, and this ability is extremely random, no matter whether it is good, bad, or tasteless. Will follow the wizard for life.

Seeing Quirrell's funny expression, Neville, who was extremely nervous, couldn't help laughing, his chubby and round face was very cute.

"Neville, although I don't know what kind of abilities you have acquired, you can ask your grandma if the ancestors of the Longbottom family have the blood of magical creatures such as elves. Once we know what magical creatures are, we can It can more accurately calculate the abilities you possess, and then allow you to control your talents freely."

"That way, I won't blow up the cauldron?" Neville didn't quite understand what kind of achievement he would have in today's thin-blooded wizarding world if he could control his own abilities.What he is most concerned about at this stage is his reputation as a crucible killer...

"On this point, I think I can help you today." Quirrell replied with a smile.

Neville's eyes lit up instantly, and he jumped for joy: "That's great, thank you! Professor Quirrell!"

Ministry of Magic

After nearly a year of action, the status of pure-blood nobles in the Ministry of Magic has risen a lot, and the rise in political status has also made the living space of the nobles much looser.But there are many advantages, but the disadvantages are equally troublesome - the conflict between them and the Order of the Phoenix has become more and more acute.

And Fudge, Dumbledore's former puppet, began to work hard to consolidate his position because he had tasted the deliciousness of power and money.In the Ministry of Magic, the three parties got into a mess, making the already muddy water even more filthy.

Lucius is currently serving as the deputy director of the Finance Department of the Ministry of Magic. Although he is a deputy, everyone knows that the current director is just providing for the elderly. Since Lucius took this position half a year ago, the major affairs of the Finance Department have been done by He decides.He has been looking at the budget application forms of the Auror Office and the Department of Illegal Use of Muggle Supplies in front of him for half an hour. These two departments have almost concentrated all the power of the Order of the Phoenix. These two application forms were typed back and asked them to do it again, but he suddenly had an idea that could make these guys fall into a big fall.And after half an hour of thinking, his idea has been perfected...

Lucius gave Malfoy his sly, dangerous yet alluring smile as he signed the two forms in rich cursive.

After work, Lucius left the office in a happy mood, and was about to go home for a beauty treatment~ But just as he walked out of the office door, a thin man with a hunchback came over: "Mr. Malfoy, I'm Calvin... Brown, I have been entrusted to you with something." The man spoke very quickly, without any chance to interrupt Lucius, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned sideways and took out a small thing.His movements just blocked the sight of others, and no one except Lucius and himself could see what he was holding in his hand.

Lucius, who was a little impatient, stopped immediately, and waved away the other staff who saw the man entangled and wanted to come up to help.Lucius reached out to take the thing, and grasped it tightly in his palm, but no one could see it: "This is indeed a token from my old friend, thank you for bringing it to me."

"So, if you have time, I don't know if I can invite you to dinner?" Brown smiled, and even straightened his stooped waist.

Lucius's blue-gray eyes darkened a bit as he stuffed the thing into his pocket and said to Brown, "In that case, you'll have to wait a bit, because I need to pack a few things in case I need .”

"I'll wait for you here." Brown smiled even more happily, and Lucius could even clearly see his yellow teeth.

Back at the office, Lucius summoned his special messenger, a snow-white peregrine falcon, he quickly carried the things the man gave him into a small package, and tied it to the peregrine's feet.Then he took out two money bags full of Galleons that he had locked in his desk. Although it is not clear what the guy suddenly jumped out for, but for a guy who always has no money, money is always his most needed.

Since the end of Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the second year, news about the alchemical amulet has spread all over the school.Looking at the amulets worn by the second graders—although they looked strange, they were indeed alchemy products made by them, and they obviously worked well.The other grades who didn't take Defense Against the Dark Arts looked forward to attending class and making their own amulets.Even the grades who have taken the talisman making class are trying their best to make more beautiful talismans.At the end of that class, Quirrell told them some tips for changing the color of the amulet, changing the material of the surface, and making the amulet smell.

Moreover, except for a few materials used in the talismans, most of them are very cheap. For example, the aristocratic students of Slytherin can use their own pocket money to buy large packages, and can make their own unique accessories. It's a great gift to give to family and friends.And some sponsored students from poor families even thought of making talismans and selling them. A few or even a dozen students saved money together, and those with the best skills made beautiful and generous talismans, and they also made a lot of money. Extra money.

No matter boys or girls, high grades or low grades, making amulets has become their favorite way of leisure after completing their homework.

But when the students were happily spending their campus life, some sensitive students discovered something abnormal: the potion class, no matter what grade, the potion made in the first week was an antidote , not in the books, but the antidote improved by Professor Snape, which can remove the toxins of most magical creatures, and is even more effective against the toxins of acromantia; herbalism, all grades learn some insect repellent For the identification of medicinal herbs, Professor Sprout even spent most of the quarter teaching them how to use several herbs to make bracelets, telling them that they just need to light this thing and throw it out when they encounter bugs; Professor Ge is keen on teaching them how to turn grass leaves into fireworks, and he advises them with a serious face that if they encounter danger in the wild, they should immediately light fireworks for help; The acceleration spell in the textbook, after casting the spell, even a snail can run past a cheetah, but only if you don't hit a tree.

"It's so weird, it feels like Hogwarts has acromantulas and the professors are teaching us how to run for our lives in the face of them!" Some of them gathered at the long desk in the library to do their homework, Hermione suddenly looked at her textbook and said.

"..." Everyone remained silent. In fact, they had the same feeling as Hermione, but they didn't say it out loud.
