Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

"Stay here, the prefect takes good care of everyone!" When the voice disappeared, Quirrell had already ran out of the classroom. Although some of the five-year students wanted to follow, but due to Quirrell's order before leaving, Looking at the prefects blocking the door, they could only stay in their seats obediently in the end.

The classroom where Lockhart was studying was on the other side of the third floor. Quirrell didn't take a few steps when he heard the screams of the students, which was mixed with another sharp and unpleasant cry.

What exactly did Lockhart bring into the school?

Quirrell quickly answered his question, and more students ran towards him, some of them still had the light of the protective shield on their bodies.And chasing after them was a group of small iron-gray things about eight inches in size.

"Cornwall elves?" The two elves fell to the ground with the red light from Quirrell's wand. Seeing what happened to their companions, the elves did not back down, they still screamed and rushed towards Quirrell. Luo, but in the end it fell to the ground crackling.

Quirrell continued to walk towards the classroom with a group of quiet animals, the children held the fainted elf in their hands.Before Quirrell knocked on the door, the door was already opened, but it was not the students who ran out, but Professor Gilderoy Lockhart.The appearance of Quirrell startled him, but he quickly put a dazzling smile on his face again.

"Hello, Professor Quirrell, what can I do for you?"

Quirrell took a snoring elf from the student beside him: "I have to admire you, Professor Lockhart. This little thing has become a murder weapon in your class."

"What do you mean? I don't understand...I just...give the students a chance to practice, it's good for them."

Looking at Lockhart, Quirrell found that this man also has some advantages - his face is thick enough, I believe that the walls of Hogwarts Castle are thinner than his face, in this state he can still face Neither red nor out of breath, defending himself righteously.But for such a clown-like character, Quirrell doesn't need any scruples.He simply pushed Lockhart away and opened the classroom door.

Harry, Ron, Drake, Neville, Hermione, and a dozen other students were still holding up their wands in the classroom to fight against these elves with magic.

Quirrell walked directly towards the podium where Lockhart placed the cage. His actions obviously angered the elves, because most of the elves put down the enemies at the moment and attacked Quirrell, but all of them were stunned The curse hits, falling to the ground one after another.When Quirrell got the cage, there were only a few elves left who were still stubborn.

Other students have also come in through the door, helping their classmates subdue the elf.In less than 10 minutes, the elves were alive and kicking in the cage again.Quirrell threw the cage to Lockhart and left the classroom before he could speak.

After class, Quirrell walked to his office depressed.

Hogwarts has a permanent employment system. Unless the professor does something that seriously threatens the safety of Hogwarts, misses classes for a long time for some reason, or resigns voluntarily, even the headmaster has no right to fire a professor.It's like Dumbledore first hired a Dark Lord as a professor, and then hired an idiot.This school rule also first preserved Quirrell's professorship at Hogwarts, and then protected Lockhart.Even when the professor faced the spider not long ago, he made a fool of himself.

Thinking of the spider, thinking of Lockhart, Quirrell stopped suddenly!Instead of walking towards his office, he turned his head and walked towards the cellar.

When Quirrell knocked on the door of the administrator's office, Williams apparently didn't expect it to be him.So as soon as she opened the door, she screamed and closed the door again. It was not until half an hour later that she opened the door again.However, he was a little impatient waiting, but Quirrell, who couldn't urge him due to politeness, didn't notice the difference in Williams' appearance when he opened the door twice.

"Miss Williams, I want to ask you, how did you meet Professor Lockhart the day the spiders attacked Hogwarts Castle?"

"Lockhart?" Quirrell's question obviously made Williams very depressed, but she still tried hard to recall the scene of that day, "After I broke up with you that day, I wanted to go upstairs to find Professor McGonagall. But halfway through I suddenly heard someone shouting for help, so I ran back to the first floor. As a result, I saw Professor Lockhart running from the direction of the auditorium with a group of spiders. We had no time to run to the second floor, so we had to run into the cellar passage .Professor Quirrell, do you suspect that Professor Lockhart was the one who opened the door?"

Quirrell was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded.In fact, he was very surprised, Lockhart was so obviously suspicious at the time, why didn't Williams say it?

"Actually, I doubted that too, and I told Principal Dumbledore about it after the incident that day. But then the principal said that he already knew the person who opened the door." Williams obviously hesitated, but finally She still told what she knew, "I later heard from Professor McGonagall that the headmaster suspected Filch. Although Filch is dead, the headmaster is still looking for evidence."

"Thank you very much, Miss Williams." Quirrell's face turned livid, Dumbledore suspected Filch, and Filch died, and he was the last person to contact Filch and hear his last words.By analogy, the person who was labeled as a suspect became him, Quirinus Quirrell!Otherwise, Dumbledore hardly did anything other than let his own people cooperate with Lucius to rescue the Azkaban personnel during this period, so he was waiting here!

Quirrell, who turned to leave, was suddenly pulled by Williams' robe: "I wanted to say, 'Date me, and I'll tell you more news', but obviously this is too mean, I can't Do this kind of thing. So..." Williams pursed her lips, and she waved her hands at a loss, "We are still friends, right?"

"Yes."

"goodbye?"

"Goodbye."

Quirrell returned to his office and went directly from the fireplace to the Malfoy house. He needed Lucius to track down Lockhart—whether he opened the door to Hogwarts, Quirrell had no evidence, so he could only learn from Lockhart. Start with special past "deeds".He made people think that the whole of Hogwarts could do such a thing!Anyway, Quirrell doesn't believe that Lockhart can do the things written in his book, as long as he is found to be cheating, then everything will be easy to handle!Of course, the more important thing is to find out all this and report the truth, before Dumbledore does anything!

Arriving at Malfoy Manor, Quirrell went straight to Lucius' study, but what he didn't expect was that there was no one in Lucius' study, and the still life painting behind his desk had now become a painting. Magic figure!

And Quirrell looked at that person, stunned there: "...Abu?"

The person in the painting was obviously also taken aback. His first reaction was to hide, but since he had already been seen, hiding was unnecessary.

"Hello, Tom, or Lord?"

Abraxas Malfoy, this person should be just a stranger to Quirrell. Even in the memory of Voldemort he had seen, there are too few scenes where Abraxas appears.However, the moment he saw this man, Quirrell had an urge to cry or howl. He wanted to rush to tear the painting, pull the man out of the painting, kiss him, hug him, and possess him !But no, because that person is just a painting. If the canvas is torn, he will never appear again—but that is not from his inner impulse, but the desire hidden in the depths of another part of his soul...

His feelings for this man are the only remaining human parts after he split his soul and became crazy, right?

"The Malfoy family has always said that they don't keep any portraits of their ancestors, and now it seems that is not the case. In the past, where have you been hiding?"

"..."

"Don't talk? It's the secret of the Malfoy family again?" Quirrell sat on the chair. He was feeling very uncomfortable now. Voldemort's violent and angry emotions were pounding his brain, but his own reason told him that the person in front of him Man is but a portrait of his father-in-law.He rubbed his forehead, didn't want to continue talking, just sat here and waited for Lucius to come out from some corner of Malfoy Manor.

But he wanted to be silent, but the man in the portrait didn't want to be silent: "I'm sorry, Tom, I said I'd wait for you to come back, I missed the appointment. But please don't hurt Lucius..."

"Boom!" The current male master of Malfoy Manor fell out from the back of the bookshelf with a pale face, because the knuckles of his fingers had turned white from holding the snake staff too tightly, he looked at the portrait of his father and his father with complicated eyes. the master.

Quirrell thought with his toes and knew that he had misunderstood. He probably thought that he was being treated as a substitute, and he was also a substitute for his father!

"The Dark Lord never waits for someone in place!" Quirrell stood up and stretched out his hand to Lucius, "Abraxas, as you said, you missed the appointment!"

The man in the painting was stunned for a moment, stood up with a wry smile, and saluted: "It was my self-righteous offense, mylord." Abraxas disappeared into the canvas, and in the next second it became a still life again , and Lucius also held the hand extended by the Demon King.

However, Lucius, who originally thought that Quirrell was not Voldemort, now has to doubt his own cognition. What made him change so drastically?
