Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

The horsemen pointed their finger at the wizard's war against the spiders. They believed that it was because the wizard fought, and especially defeated the spiders.As the permanent residents of the Forbidden Forest and the Hogwarts contract population, the wizards must protect their safety instead of driving the danger to the settlement of the centaur!

From the very beginning, the horse people were aggressive, looking at Chilo from a distance, they even suspected that some of them were not horse people, but "cow" people.Because they kept pawing their hooves on the ground, and while waving their arms to increase their momentum, they also tried their best to open and close their nostrils, spraying hot air on the face of the person facing them.

The Snake King quickly withdrew from the crowd and stood at the end. After all, being swung by his arms or sprayed with hot air was not a wonderful experience.The faces of the other deans and the director of the Auror office, Scrimgeour, were not good. Only Dumbledore remained patient from the beginning to the end. It's not my fault to get entangled in the issue.

"Seven of us died, and three of them were children." Firenze came to Quirrell's side, looked at the wizard and the centaur who were still entangled, and said, "You think it's ridiculous to see all this, don't you? "

"No, of course not. There should be a public opinion on right and wrong." Quirrell shook his head. Firenze's performance was too weird. How could Quirrell tell his sincerity in front of him with just a few words?

Firenze smiled wryly: "We centaurs are about to perish, but what the elders think about is not how to keep our population going, but how to keep our population from dying out in their generation."

After speaking, Firenze walked away.He stepped into the crowd and began to mediate between the wizard and the centaur.

Quirrell raised his eyebrows, he vaguely felt that this was Firenze showing his favor to him, but he didn't dare to feel so good about himself, because despite the behavior of the horse people now, in fact, they are all considered The above is Dumbledore's friend, who hastily took what looked like an olive branch in Firenze's hand, and it is very likely that the seemingly tender note will become a deadly knife in the next moment.Therefore, Quirrell put Firenze's words aside as always-remembered, but did not answer or refute.

After more than 40 minutes of verbal fighting, the wizards were finally able to move on. Although the centaur led the way for the wizards, they all had expressions like "you owe me a lot of money" on their faces.Whether it was the Aurors born in Gryffindor or the nobles born in Slytherin, they were obviously in a bad mood.However, the Aurors showed it directly on their faces. Except for a few people, most of them glared at the horsemen, while the nobles all wore gentle smiles on their faces, but murderous looks in their eyes...

Some nobles even secretly proposed to Quirrell, should they find an excuse to quit this hunt?Let the Aurors and the spiders lose both, and maybe they can teach the centaurs a lesson by the way.

Quirrell shook his head and denied it. Since they joined in this matter from the beginning, and spent so much manpower, material and financial resources before, if they quit in the final battle, they will not be rewarded for their previous efforts, and they are likely to be rejected. It is misunderstood that this incident has something to do with it.Doing this just because of anger with the horse people is really not worth the loss-in fact, there is no gain, only loss.

On the way to the settlement of the former horse people, it can be said that the journey was peaceful.After all, there was a battle between spiders and snakes first, and then there was a battle between spiders and centaurs and unicorns, and all creatures that could run ran away.The weather was fine today, and it didn't take long for the wizards who made the horsemen feel restless to become more cheerful.Of course, the happiest one was the Potions professor. In order not to interfere with the life of the centaur and the unicorn, he couldn't come to this kind of place.Or face Dumbledore's invitation for sweet treats.

Therefore, the Potions Professor ignored the centaur's white eyes and the sideways glances of some wizards, and began to collect medicinal materials.Not long after, Quirrell also joined the ranks with a group of nobles, because these medicinal materials made him jealous.It didn't take long for Professor Sprout to join in. There are many rare plants here!

"It's a pity that some medicinal materials here can only be collected at a specific time, and some of them have already passed the collection time." Quirrell wiped his sweat and said depressedly, Snape beside him thought deeply nodded, and then the two looked at Professor Sprout with blue eyes at the same time...

Although the elders of the centaur protested to Dumbledore afterwards, Dumbledore evaded it with "Oh~hahahaha~ the weather is really nice today, everyone is young and likes to collect flowers and plants".Coupled with Firenze's advice from the sidelines, these old horses finally stopped entangled in this matter.So the remaining Aurors joined in. Many of them had returned potions and herbalism to the professor long ago, but they could still gather a few useful herbs by following the gourd.

As the time approached noon, Dumbledore suddenly stopped, raised his hand and pointed his wand at the top of a birch tree.Before anyone else could figure out what happened, a red beam shot out from the tip of Dumbledore's staff, and then a huge spider fell from the bushes!

"Everyone be vigilant! It seems that we have entered the territory of the acromantula!" Dumbledore said loudly.

Seeing the smashed spider, everyone immediately drew out their wands and became vigilant.

"Principal Dumbledore, it's already noon, shall we step back temporarily and attack after lunch." Quirrell looked at the time and said suddenly.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, his face flashed solemnly for a moment, but soon, he smiled and nodded: "Why not? It is not good for us to go to war hungry." This made Quirrell a little inexplicable, but it was A question about eating, why is Dumbledore acting so awkward?

"Principal Dumbledore! I think you should launch an attack as soon as possible!" The centaur elder spoke.Unless there are some special circumstances, the habit of the acromantula is to wrap its prey with silk, and then inject venom into it, and the flesh and internal organs of the prey will slowly melt into a liquid state. At this time, the spider can eat happily up.That is to say, at this stage, if they attack the giant arachnid as soon as possible, those clansmen who were captured may still be rescued.

"I understand why you are in a hurry, Elder Krian. But fighting the acromantula in a tired and hungry state will greatly reduce our chances of winning, and even cause unnecessary casualties. I don't think you will." Hope the wizards die."

Kerian's mouth was wriggling, and most of them were sure that what he was thinking in his head must be "I have nothing to do with the wizard's life or death, as long as we rescue our people and take our territory back." However, he If you really said that, then all the horsemen would really have to die.Fortunately, he wasn't too irrational, and it didn't take long to eat lunch anyway.Kerian nodded, and the wizards turned back and found a fairly empty place to sit down and eat.

Nibbling on the sandwich in his mouth, Quirrell finally understood why Dumbledore had a serious expression just now.

It was he who first discovered the acromantula, and killed the spider with a thunderous blow.It can be said that it shocked everyone. In contrast, the other leader in the dark—his Quirrell pales in comparison—didn’t you see that even the nobles also raised their vigilance at that time.Although they are essentially thinking about their own lives, that doesn't change the fact that they respond to Dumbledore's command.If things continue to develop, Dumbledore is likely to use this power to command everyone from the beginning to the end.At that time, Quirrell's prestige among the nobles was hit hard.

But once they stop eating, everyone will readjust their state, and they will want to know who should lead them.

He shook his head with a wry smile in his heart. He didn't intend to fight for power in this matter. He already felt guilty for accepting Dumbledore's deal for his own life. He suppressed Dumbledore's prestige in the news only because of this matter. If you don't hit him, you are really sorry for those children who are living in danger.

He smiled wryly and shook his head in his heart. Although it was unintentional, the fact has already happened, and it is impossible for him to run to apologize to Dumbledore, so let everything take its course.

After the meal, we continued to set off. Sure enough, the "unity" before did not happen again. The wizards were divided into two echelons just like when they set off at the beginning.As a Hogwarts professor, Quirrell didn't stay with Dumbledore, but stood among a group of nobles, which didn't feel awkward, because Snape was also here, and the wizards' Snake House and Lion House It's no secret that it's no longer a secret, and even the horsemen didn't show any curiosity.

To everyone's surprise, when they came to the place where Dumbledore killed the first spider, in addition to the stump of the unlucky spider, they could also see a huge scarred spider and five spiders beside it. Big callus.

"Wizard..." The spider is Hollier, its voice is still so unpleasant, and it is more dry than the previous few times, "We agree to move to Scotland's acromant base—that's what you call it there, right? ?This is the food we caught and Hagrid. Give them back to you to express my determination. But you better hurry up, because I am dying, I don't know if the next leader can do something similar Decide."

After finishing speaking, Houlier fell to the ground, and the wizards could see that it was still moving, which meant that it was not dead, but it also meant that its condition was just like what it said, that it was dying...

Houlier's words made all the wizards stunned for a moment. No one expected that the matter would end like this, but it made them feel relieved. After all, a wizard has died. Who can be sure that he will not be the next one?

Suddenly, behind Hollier, a large number of other spiders appeared.That scene startled everyone, but soon they found that these spiders didn't let their claws make a clicking sound, they just walked forward silently, and then stopped at the position slightly behind Houlier, just like that. Big to small stood quietly, with eight eyes half looking at their dying leader, while looking at the wizards.

"Take away your kind, and send us away." Hollier said weakly, and now he regrets his original decision very much. Wizards are indeed much more powerful than he imagined, and they are not all like Hagrid. easy to deceive.And there are still terrible monsters living here, which make all spiders frightened!What Houlier didn't expect was that when it was in a coma, its brothers attacked the centaur's territory with hungry spiders. They won, but sacrificed more.They are no longer able to fight, so they can only leave here and live in another place.Maybe one day, the descendants of its descendants... can lead stronger and more of its kind to wash away the current humiliation with the blood of wizards, but all it can do is to preserve the seeds for its own group.

The cocoon was removed by the wizards, and there were four wounded centaurs there, and they were all injected with venom.One of them died soon, and the other three couldn't hold on anymore.As for Hagrid, although he lost a lot of weight, he was still alive and well, but his mood was a little depressed.He didn't notice at all, not to mention the nobles, even the Aurors including Black looked at him with strange eyes with a little hatred.You know, although Dumbledore and Quirrell didn't let this matter come to light, it's actually not a secret.Only some people are still kept in the dark, they already know what they should know and what they want to know.

The Gryffindors once thought Hagrid's hobby was "cool" because he violated not only the school rules, but also the law.And ignoring the rules is Gryffindor's favorite hobby—if those who disregard the rules are engaged in the work of guarding the rules, what will happen?Others can't break the rules, but I can only break the rules?Gryffindors have indeed had this tendency since they were young.

But fortunately, the Gryffindors are not crazy, they also have family members, when the lives of their relatives are threatened, when their friends are lying in the coffin coldly, Hagrid, who used to be a good buddy, was once cool.It's no longer their own...

Quirrell suddenly felt that Hagrid was a bit pitiful. After all, when he left Hogwarts, Dumbledore couldn't save him from the near fire.At that time, facing the dual exclusion and bullying of the Snake Academy and the Lion Academy, his life will definitely become quite difficult.But this is only for a moment. After all, a poor person must have something to hate. If you don't want to cause more children and families to become poor people, then you can only make him pitiful.

Next, it was determined that the spiders were indeed surrendering.Dumbledore ordered them to leave the centaur territory, and the spiders did.But what next?From the words, deeds and performance of the spider trio during this period, we can know how crude the eight-eyed spider base in Scotland is, and there is no ability to accept so many spiders there.And sending so many spiders from England to Scotland is not an easy task.

Dumbledore, who was thinking about it, had to look at Quirrell. To solve this matter, the Ministry of Magic must come forward, but considering Fudge's inaction and stinginess, it is obviously impossible to count on the Ministry of Magic.In this case, only the nobles have this ability... But Dumbledore just looked at Quirrell, but didn't speak, because he couldn't allow himself to ask "such a person" for help.

He thought of it, and of course Quirrell thought of it, he nodded to a few nobles, and then, it was not his business.

"Severus, how about we go back and deal with today's harvest together?" Quirrell took a last look at the stubborn old man standing stiffly, and turned to ask Snape with a smile.
