Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

"Where did he get hurt by the spider?" Madam Pomfrey quickly pushed a classroom away, turning a chair into a single bed.Snape immediately supported Quirrell who was in a semi-comatose state, and let him lie down on his stomach. Madam Pomfrey immediately held a bottle of pale pink potion in her left hand, and the wand in her right hand kept throwing all kinds of detectives at Quirrell. Test the spell.

"The spider didn't hurt him." Snape said with a gloomy face—although gloomyness is almost synonymous with Potions professor at Hogwarts, but at this moment he is definitely extraordinarily gloomy. The birch wand lifted Quirrell's clothes.

Those are two scars with bone deep visible, about [-] centimeters or even longer at the left and right shoulder blades, and from Madam Pomfrey's medical experience, it can be seen that these two wounds are not external injuries, but "internal injuries." ", what is made from the inside out!

When Snape arrived at the center of the fire in the Forbidden Forest, in the scorched blackness, what he saw were densely packed acromantulas, acromander stumps all over the ground, a few centaurs, a few horses The unicorn, and Quirrell, whose robe was slightly torn.

Apparently, when he arrived, the spider, Quirrell, and the centaur and unicorn were in a three-way confrontation.Although logically speaking, Quirrell should be on the side of the centaur, but as the distance from them got closer, Snape clearly felt that the anger of the centaur and the unicorns was more directed at the centaur. Luo?

"What right do you have to set the Forbidden Forest on fire?!" asked a gray centaur—or was he white?It just turned gray after being smoked.

"Professor Hogwarts has given me power." Quirrell stood there, half of the fallen tree behind him was still burning, reflecting his pale face slightly red.

"As far as we know, those two children have been rescued by you, and Hagrid is not life-threatening." The gray centaur continued to shout, and another black centaur who was obviously much older than them beat him. Cut him off, and stood up, "So in this case, you still have to chase after the spiders after they leave the Forbidden Forest, and you shouldn't be so impulsive to hurt the Forbidden Forest."

There was a strange expression on Quirrell's face, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "I didn't expect the centaur to be so proficient in the art of language, so that as a wizard, I almost didn't understand what you wanted to express. But the vulgar Like me, I still have to ask you for advice. Do you mean to say, 'The Forbidden Forest is our territory, you have to get out of here if you want to die'?"

The black horseman hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Quirrell almost twisted his nose in anger. It should be said that he was taking the lead or the servant was bullying the master, or that the dove occupied a little bit of the magpie's nest.He felt that although these centaurs were not an obvious threat to children like spiders, they were not a good thing either.Hogwarts has protected them for so many years and let them recuperate. Even if these guys don't have to take actual actions to repay them, they should at least recognize their identities, right?

But so far, except for the silver centaur named Firenze who pointed the way for Quirrell once, and expressed some kindness to the wizards in his speech, the other centaurs are just a group of irascible donkeys!Of course, donkeys can also help humans pull goods, and these horsemen can only make organic fertilizers except for the "咴咴".Unicorns are a little better, the hair on their tails can subsidize a part of Hogwarts' expenses every year.

"This professor who is 'responsible for Hogwarts', please leave the Forbidden Forest! Professor Snape, I am so glad that you are here, just in time to take your colleagues away from here." The black horse man turned towards Snape nodded in greeting.Perhaps he thought that the dean of the Snake Academy, who always went to the Forbidden Forest to collect herbs, would be able to handle this strange and impulsive "newcomer" professor well.But what he didn't know was that the wizarding world wasn't always organized by seniority.

In fact, Snape had long been impatient with these nervous horsemen who claimed to be the true masters of the Forbidden Forest and always obstructed him from collecting rare medicinal materials.And now that Quirrell is present, it is certainly not when he is in his early years.Snape stood beside Quirrell silently, watching what he was going to do.

Houlier, the current leader of the acromantula, is hidden behind its compatriots. In fact, it is a bit in a dilemma now-to be honest, the power that Quirrell just showed is a little frightening.Although the dead members of the tribe were only a fraction of the entire tribe, he obviously still had the power to spare. If all wizards had such abilities, what would be waiting for the entire tribe of acromantulas?

But thinking about Hagrid who was captured, and the other two female wizards he met two days ago, Houllier felt that there might not be so many such powerful wizards.In that case, killing him now while he was alone would cause a certain loss to the group of eight-eyed spiders, but it would definitely be much less risky than letting him return to the group of wizards and then killing him.Moreover, if such a powerful creature can eat his corpse, then even if he can't get all his power, at least he can get [-]-[-]% of it, right?

Compared to other brothers, Houllier is definitely the smartest among Aragog's descendants, so now he can become the leader of the entire ethnic group.And I have to say that standing in the position of the eight-eyed spider at this time, it is indeed a wise decision to kill Quirrell while he is alone.And under the influence of the group of self-righteous horsemen, it is very likely that the two wizards will leave the Forbidden Forest. Without the barriers of trees, and without a large number of fire starters, on the flat lawn, the number of spiders can be more powerful. Take it to the extreme...

So, what Houllier has to do now is to try to get the two wizards out of the woods.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." The giant spider leader came out of the woods, "There was a misunderstanding just now, and two young wizards attacked my children and grandchildren. And those children are too young to Know what restraint is. They fought back, and the result was that the feelings became more and more violent, and it developed to the current situation. I solemnly apologize to all the residents of the Forbidden Forest and the residents of Hogwarts."

The appearance of the big spider straightened Quirrell's crooked nose just now!For the first time, he knew that spiders could be so shameless!

"You... Woo!" Qi Luo, who opened his mouth to refute, swallowed the words abruptly because of the severe pain from his back!The sudden distortion on his face made all the creatures present realize that it was abnormal.

Hollier's eight long legs that were pulsating toward this side stopped immediately, and its four pairs of eyes were fixed on Quirrell, carefully observing his every move.The horse people also stopped their chattering and accusations, and turned their heads to look over.Snape held his wand and stood in front of Quirrell in an instant. Although his performance was protection, the thought that flashed in his mind was not as loyal as his actions—the Dark Lord was testing , or is it really uncomfortable, if it is uncomfortable, how much strength can he show?Is he looking for a chance to die in the spider's mouth?Or give him a hand?

The unicorns following the centaur felt something was wrong, they hissed twice, and slowly started to back away.

And the pain on Quirrell's face became more and more obvious, he couldn't even stand still, he could only slowly bend down and kneel down on one knee on the ground, as if something heavy bent his back.Snape, who was closest to him, also felt something was wrong. It was a dangerous and weird feeling, and the originally docile magic power in the Forbidden Forest also went berserk in an instant.

Snape immediately gave up the idea of ​​helping or taking advantage of the fire, and he started to back away without hesitation.Then there are the centaurs, these creatures who like to predict are still relatively sensitive, and they also began to retreat under the leadership of the black lead horse.

Only Houlier, who was observing, only expressed surprise at the retreat of the other creatures.From where it stands, Quirrell is just a wizard who appears to be suddenly seriously ill...

"Attack! Eat his flesh and blood!" Hollier shouted, this opportunity is better than leading them outside the Forbidden Forest.

With the sound of "Click! Click!", the army of spiders emerged from the woods like a tide!

"Professor Quirrell, Professor Snape, how are you?! Oh! Merlin!"

"boom--!"

Crimson flames soaring into the sky spewed out, as if a small-scale volcanic eruption had occurred here.It's just that there is no volcanic ash and lava ejected here, only pure magical flames.The spider running at the front was turned into ashes in an instant, and Houllier, who was standing far away and giving orders, also had his two long legs burned off, and ran into the bushes wailing in an instant.

The horsemen were lucky to run out of the range of the flames at the last second, and only the slow ones were set ablaze.Although the master of potions was alert enough, he didn't run far enough. He was very depressed and got "a little" hair set on fire. The most unfortunate thing was Professor Flitwick who suddenly rushed out on a broom, and his broom was set on fire. , and set fire to his robes.Although he descended to a safe height in time to jump off the broom and extinguish the flames of the robe, the lower half of the robe was also consumed.

The flames came fiercely, but they also went away quickly. Almost at the same time that Flitwick extinguished the flames on his body, the crimson flames disappeared completely.Only a comatose Quirrell and a scorched black pit remained on the spot...

"So, we don't know what happened. It's just that when we pulled him out of the pit, the clothes on his back were completely torn, and there were these two huge wounds." Snape Speak to Madam Pomfrey.

"We used many restoration spells, but none of them worked." Flitwick added in a low voice. "Fortunately, although the wound looked horrible, the bleeding stopped quickly."

"I've discovered this too, and what's worse, the potions don't seem to work either...but maybe we don't need these?" Madam Pomfrey was melancholy at first, but soon turned to surprise.Because the wound on Quirrell's back was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after just a few seconds, the two terrifying wounds disappeared, replaced by two rows of red scales.

Curious as a doctor, Madam Pomfrey stretched out her fingers and gently stroked the scales: "They are indeed growing on Professor Quirrell's flesh, this is really... Severus, put down your tweezers and the bottle , what do you want to do? You potion material collector."

"Madame Pomfrey, don't you want to know why Professor Quirrell can recover so quickly? And why scales appear on the wizard's body?" Snape didn't take the things back, but his black eyes It emits a faint blue light—like a hungry wolf.

"you know?"

"Exchange." Snape reached for the scales on Quirrell's back with his tweezers.

"..." Madam Pomfrey turned her head to one side, clearly expressing "I was distracted, I didn't see it" with her actions.

Snape was holding a red scale and was about to pull it down. This kind of thing was very familiar to him. He had even pulled off the scale of a dragon.But before he could use any force, a crack suddenly appeared on the tightly closed scales. Snape, who had a bad feeling, immediately let go and jumped back—a pair of huge crimson bat wings appeared on Quirrell's back. On, they are officially stretched out from the scales!

"Severus Snape!" Quirrell climbed up from the single bed with a bad expression. Fortunately, he woke up in time, otherwise Quirrell would dare to guarantee it.His subordinate of the potion madman will not only pull out the scale on his back, but also dissect him directly!

Snape immediately hid the glass bottle and the small silver tweezers, but he looked at Quirrell with even more hunger and thirst, so hungry that Quirrell felt a little nervous...

Just when Snape and Quirrell "looked affectionately", Professor McGonagall was in a state of desperation, and the children in the auditorium were in extreme confusion and panic.

Lucius came back, and he brought a group of nobles whose family children were studying at Hogwarts.It was a matter of the comfort of the family and the interests of the family, and the Slytherin nobles responded much faster than the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic.They demanded to know the truth of the matter and bring back their children if necessary.The nobles' unabashed dialogue in the auditorium made the students understand the truth.Before that, although the Slytherins also reported that a large group of eight-eyed spiders appeared in the Forbidden Forest, this news was more incredible to many children than Voldemort leading the Death Eaters to attack the city.

But now, the news has been confirmed...

"The classification level of the Ministry of Magic: XXXXX Acromantula is a huge, ferocious spider. It has eight eyes and can speak human language..." The Ravenclaws began to discuss about the acromantula in the illustrated book. However, the topic they discussed soon became where Hogwarts is easier to hide in. The more they studied this dangerous and cruel creature, the more they felt that their chances of survival were slim.

"Woo~ Will we be eaten? Mom! Dad!" Hufflepuff's little animals were straightforward, and immediately started hugging each other and crying after understanding what happened.

"We will fight to protect Hogwarts!" Instead of feeling panicked, some Gryffindors shouted excitedly with their wands raised.Maybe they thought they could protect Hogwarts in the turmoil and become the warriors and saviors to save the world?

Facing the chaotic auditorium, Lucius tapped his throat with his wand, and added a loud spell to himself: "Children, please be quiet! As minor wizards, you should not appear on any battlefield, Sacrifice and bloodshed are the duty of adults, and I am willing to provide Malfoy Manor as a refuge for children. Of course, I am not only referring to Slytherin, but also Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and...George Raffindor."

Other nobles also expressed their willingness to accept the children. Of course, when these nobles were talking, they were looking at Professor McGonagall. Most of the children, especially those in the senior grades, turned their heads to look at him at the same time after hearing his words. McGonagall.Obviously, their eyes were full of hope, even some Gryffindors who shouted to protect Hogwarts.

"Is everyone having a carnival party?" A familiar voice suddenly remembered, and a tall old man walked out from the faculty and staff passage in the hall...
