Quirrell was very happy about Magos's arrival, but was interrupted just as he was about to speak.
Just as Voldemort didn't believe that McGoth wouldn't tell him about a contract, he also wondered if Voldemort had really given up the fake Quirrell. With his abilities, he wouldn't have been able to see if it was a fake Quirrell, but luckily he and Quirrell had a way of communicating that they didn't know.
"Professor, let's talk in a different way." That's what he said as soon as he entered the office before Quirrell could speak. If Quirrell was an imposter now, he wouldn't understand what he meant.
But Quirrell only froze for a moment, and then his gaze changed when he looked at him, he didn't expect a 12-year-old to think of this. He was simply glad that he had fully recovered and was able to come and see him, but now, with McGoss's careful mind and cautious attitude, he was somewhat convinced that he might be able to let them all survive, although he felt that the chances were still so slim. He is actually very aggrieved, a wizard who can be a professor at Hogwarts can only rely on a little wizard who has not finished the first year to help, but he can't help it, Voldemort is in his body, every move is under his supervision, and he can't do any small movements.
Then a piece of paper and a pen floated in front of McGoth, much to McGoth's relief, and it seemed that it should really be Professor Quirrell.
"Professor, I wonder how they found me." In fact, he really wanted to communicate with Quirrell behind Voldemort's back, but he knew that it was impossible, he used to have naps, but now it is estimated that he will be on guard 24 hours a day.
The pen wrote two words on the paper without anyone's control, "Duel." That bucket was slightly curvature, looking like a careless shake, McGoth's heart moved, knowing that this was Professor Quirrell's signature, and put an expression at the end, that bucket now looked a bit like a smiling face.
Quirrell also knew that he was under Voldemort's surveillance, and McGoth's words made him think that Voldemort might not have eliminated the fake Quirrell, maybe just like he had done before, arrange the fake Quirrell in a place he didn't know, let him observe slowly, until he could completely imitate him, and then replace him. So instead of using obvious expressions, he incorporated them into some of the text, so that even if they could imitate the exact same, they would only think that he had accidentally written it like this, or that it was his habit of writing. In this way, if it really turns into a fake Quirrell at that time, McGoth can also see it at a glance.
The fight made McGoss fully believe that this was the real Professor Quirrell, and the two words he wrote reminded him of the decision he had made that night with Malfoy.
"But ......" McGoth stopped suddenly, he suddenly thought that this was a magic school, he could use the cloak of invisibility to avoid Filch, couldn't others use the vanishing charm to make himself invisible? It's just that the protagonists are almost always invisible and unexpected, and he never thought that other people would also be invisible.
"Vanishing Charm? Stealth? Magos smiled wryly.
Quirrell sighed as well, writing on the paper.
Harry and Ron's sudden friendship made him a little suspicious, and Severus stared at him so badly that he felt like he had been spotted and panicked, for fear that the Headmaster would hide it back and do something to him, so he would use the Vanishing Charm to go to the restricted area almost every night to see what was going on, and he could only sleep when he heard the roar of the three-headed dog, and he slept so badly that I didn't have a chance to show up. Then he suddenly saw you sneak out of the lounge that day, followed you out of curiosity, and then saw your wand, he was a little suspicious of you, and after seeing the wand, he decided that you already knew his identity, and he told the mystery man about his discovery and speculation, and the mystery man was curious about how you found out, and second, he felt that you were an unstable factor, and found an opportunity to get rid of you. โ
"So they waited until I went to the Forbidden Forest. Scold. McGoth smiled self-deprecatingly, he had always been proud of being a crosser, but he didn't expect the sudden slap to slap him in a daze. If it weren't for the good relationship with Professor Zhen Quirrell before, maybe he wouldn't have shown up to save him, this is a real world, and it can't be looked at with the eyes of the inside.
Knowing the reason, there was no need for him to stay here any longer, although he was curious about how Quirrell was deceived by Voldemort, but this kind of thing should wait for the person concerned to take the initiative to tell him.
There were still a few groups of students behind them who were supposed to go to the Forbidden Forest, but when this happened, and the dark wizard was not caught, the school didn't dare to let those children go again.
This matter can't be hidden, the news of the appearance of dark wizards around Hogwarts spread all over the British wizarding world within a day, and the wizarding world was a sensation, they didn't expect that there were still dark wizards who dared to come out at this time, and it was around Hogwarts, the safest place, and the children at home at Hogwarts inquired about the events of that day, and soon the ins and outs of the matter were clear. For this reason, the Minister of Magic, Fudge, also held a press conference, and said very bravely that damn dark wizards, you have the ability to deal with me, don't hurt the children. At the same time, several Aurors came to Hogwarts to assist the professors in thoroughly clearing the outer perimeter of the Forbidden Forest.
McGoth and Ron's performance in the Forbidden Forest spread throughout Hogwarts before they were discharged from the hospital, and the words "impatience" and "self-sacrifice" became almost exclusive to him and Ron. McGoth didn't feel much of it, after all, he had been praised to heaven before he entered Hogwarts. Not so much for Ron, who had been smiling from ear to ear since the first day Harry had told him what he was called at school, and had been able to get him on his toes once again when the twins came over in the afternoon. However, the twins ignored him, and just kept asking about what happened to McGoss, making him pretend to be a little depressed than if he didn't succeed.
But it doesn't matter, after being discharged from the hospital, he is no less popular than Harry, who has just arrived at the school, and there are often people whispering behind him, and looking at him with obvious admiration, making him walk a little fluttery.
Hermione was still very hard at the events of that night, and she blamed herself for the injuries suffered by McGoth and Ron, even if they tried to comfort her, she was now desperately studying all kinds of spells and looking up all kinds of materials against dark creatures in addition to classes.
In addition, the obscure spell of Occlumency has also begun to become popular at Hogwarts, since McGoth said that he relied on Occlumency to keep calm and command, almost everyone has begun to learn this spell feverishly, who doesn't want to be a hero?
The days that followed were no different for McGoth except that he was constantly being pointed at, and his relationship with Harry was much better, but since McGoth was still rejecting their theory that Snape was a bad guy, they had already decided that he had been brainwashed or controlled by Snape. He didn't bother to argue with them, and now that Quirrell was back to normal, he couldn't tell Snape because of the contract, and he didn't know if Snape was still staring at him like a thief.
After a few days, what happened in the Forbidden Forest began to slowly subside, and no one except Ron felt any difference, and everyone's enthusiasm for brain occlusion began to subside, except for a few who still persisted, most of the students chose to give up in the face of this difficult spell to learn.
And Harry and Ron, after a series of discussions, came to a new conclusion. That is, the dark wizard who attacked them was Snape. McGoth rolled his eyes when they told him seriously, but Harry didn't expect him to trust him, just to keep him away from Snape in the future.
"Since you think I've been brainwashed by Snape, you're still telling me this, aren't you afraid I'll tell Snape?" McGoss's words left Harry and Ron dumbfounded, they really hadn't thought that way. Scattered left. They never told him their conjectures.
At lunch, they received a letter from Hagrid, inviting them to come to him after the afternoon class.
