Chapter 284: Hogwarts History of Magic (35)
Cutting out the heart again and again, Phyllis didn't seem to care about the consequences of casting such a curse on a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was completely intending to damage his soul by cutting out the heart and bones.
After more than ten minutes, Quirrell finally passed out completely.
After a few minutes, Quirrell, who had passed out, opened his eyes and said in a magnetic voice, "Good evening, Miss Kate." โ
"Good evening, Tom." Phyllis smiled and put her wand away.
At this time, Quirrell's own soul was damaged, and Tom's soul took possession of this body, he looked at "his own" hand, looked at the environment of the office, and finally looked at Phyllis, and said, "You seem to be ...... Want to see me? โ
Phyllis said, "Yes, there are some things I don't think I need to let Quirrell know, that guy ......" and she shook her head.
Phyllis doesn't have a good impression of Quirrell, he is not a stupid person, but he always likes to play tricks, and thinks he is particularly intelligent.
Tom helped his loyalists and said, "He's actually okay to do things." โ
"Okay?" Phyllis chuckled and said, "Are you satisfied?" Tom, you should know, it's at Hogwarts Castle now, right? If you're not careful, you'll be here forever. โ
The smile on Tom's face froze for a moment, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his smile and said, "Of course I do. โ
Tom knew, of course, that Quirrell wasn't one to make a big deal. But how can a truly strong person give his loyalty so easily? What's more, Tom used illusions and deception to exchange for this "loyalty". Under this premise, it is really not a high probability that you can find any outstanding talents.
"So I've always been weird." Phyllis said, "Why don't you destroy Quirrell's soul and take possession of this body by yourself, and take yourself as the master, even if something happens, you can solve it on your own." โ
Tom shook his head and said, "No, I can't do this, Quirrell has been teaching at Hogwarts for several years, and many professors are familiar with him, and it is easy to see from some details of life that this body has changed souls, which is too risky." โ
Phyllis turned her head to look at the orange flame in the fireplace, and whispered, "Perhaps, someone has seen it." โ
"What?" Phyllis's voice was soft, and Tom didn't hear it, just saw her open mouth.
"Nothing." Phyllis smiled and said, "I admire your guts, you haven't thought about it, what should you do if you fail?" โ
"No, I'm not going to fail." Tom said confidently.
"Very domineering answer." "But I need a more convincing reason." โ
"You need?" Tom asked rhetorically, with a sneer in his tone.
"Yes, I need to consider and weigh based on the information you provided, combined with the information I know, whether I should help you or betray you."
Tom didn't expect Phyllis to say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then mocked: "What a despicable thing! โ
Phyllis smiled and said, "Whether you are despicable or not does not affect success or failure, and if you really want to say it, there are many times when a moderate amount of meanness increases the odds of success." โ
Tom despises Phyllis even more in his heart, and while he despises it, he will also be more jealous - no one knows what she will do if she has no bottom line.
"Okay, think about it for a few minutes and give me an answer." Phyllis said, "Give me a reason not to send you to the Headmaster's Office now." โ
"I can give you anything you want, and I can grant all your wishes."
"Sounds a lot like a liar." Phyllis made up her mind.
"Don't believe me?" Tom smiled and said, "I have quite a few ancient notes on rune magic, and you need these, don't you?" โ
Although it is a question sentence, looking at Tom's expression, his judgment is full of information.
"The notes of early wizards from ancient times are indeed a very valuable thing." "But for me, it's just a reference. You know, the runes built by each rune wizard are different, and there is no way to compare and learn them stiffly. โ

When Quirrell woke up from his coma and found himself lying in a hospital bed, he tried to sit up, but was so sore that he had to give up after a little attempt.
At this moment, Madam Pomfrey lifted the white curtain, walked in, and said in a gentle voice, "Professor Quirrell, how are you feeling now?" โ
"It's ...... Suffering. Quirrell said, "I'm ...... What's wrong? โ
"You don't remember?" Madam Pomfrey took a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, holding Quirrell's arm, trying to move, "You passed out in the Great Hall last night, by the way, just say it if you don't feel well." โ
"That's right......" Quirrell was about to think back to what had happened last night when he felt a twisting pain in his arm, especially near his shoulder.
As Madam Pomfrey raised her arms higher and higher, the soreness in her muscles grew more intense, and when she was halfway there, Quirrell couldn't help but say, "It hurts, it hurts...... I mean, I'm in pain. โ
"I hear you." Madam Pomfrey spoke.
"So what are you doing?" Quirrell inhaled a cool breath and asked, "What are you doing here?" โ
Holding Quirrell's arm and lifting it about ninety degrees, Pomfrรจve slowly lowered her arm and said, "What are you yelling about, I heard you." โ
"Then why are you doing this?" Quirrell asked.
Madam Pomfrey said justifiably, "Did I say I'd stop if I wasn't feeling well?" โ
"Isn't it?" Quirrell blinked.
"Of course not." Madam Pomfrey said.
I didn't even know how horrible it was for the students to enter the infirmary, Quirrell muttered to himself. By the time Madam Pomfrey had helped him move all his limbs, he was finally able to lie peacefully in bed. Quirrell took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know who sent me here last night?" โ
"Professor Kate." Madam Pomfrey said, "Professor Kate, didn't a horrible troll appear in the castle yesterday?" How's it going? โ
"I just woke up." Quirrell reminded him that while he was also a professor, he had no idea what had happened yesterday.
"Oh, okay." Madam Pomfrey looked regretful.
