Chapter Eighty-Six: The Hogwarts Doll
Quirrell, what did he write to Durmstrang for?
He hadn't met the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts Ranko before, but from what he knew, Quirrell had been parasitized before writing this letter......
Is this man still connected to Durmstrang? What does Tom want to do?
Professor Malfoy glanced throughout, but he didn't see any strange words other than the real name of the sender that had emerged under the spell.
It seemed like he was just an ordinary wizard trying to ask Durmstrang about his professorship.
'Quirrell wants to come to Durmstrang to be the Charms professor here?' β
Fingers tapping on the back of his other hand, Ranko felt rather strange about the contents of the letter.
Durmstrang did not create a professor of charms, but generalized the study of charms into the teaching of the dark arts, a rule that had been established a long time ago.
Quirrell, or if the juniors really want to come, they won't know this?
No, no, no, think about it from a different perspective. β
Quirrell sent the letter to Durmstran's Professor of Dark Arts, not Professor Danlin, or Karkaroff.
If Quirrell really wanted to come to Durmstrang, then the two were the actual heads of the school, and the Dark Arts professor was a part-time job at best.
Besides, what did he do when he was a good demon at Hogwarts and came to Durmstran? When the time comes, Dumbledore will come over and ask for the tool man, will they pay it or not?
So here's the problem, if job hunting is not the goal, the recipient is a 'dark magic professor'......
Ranko swept the end of the letter again, and although the sender's name was a pseudonym, this disguise was useless in the face of name magic.
The name itself is something very iconic and unique.
Tom is stupid enough to even have a name...... No, no, no, you shouldn't think so, the thing he possessed with Quirrell hasn't been exposed yet, and it doesn't matter if it's covered up or not.
Even if it spreads, it will only be thought that Professor Quirrell wants to change jobs, who would have thought that he would have a human face on the back of his head?
Sometimes unconscious thinking divergence works very well, and the truth is often hidden in nonsensical conjectures.
He thought of many possibilities, but most of them were self-denial.
"So, the focus is on the Dark Arts Professor......"
Rubbing the paper, Professor Malfoy read the letter again.
There are no hidden words, no black magic, no curses, no divine babbling questions, it just looks like the most ordinary job cover letter.
But he just didn't feel right.
Quirrell, or rather a junior, would do such a normal thing? It's impossible to even think about.
In the dark arts classroom, there was only the sound of paper and quills rubbing, and Professor Malfoy sat quietly behind his desk, thinking for a long time, and could only think of a few of the most realistic possibilities.
As for the question of how to verify it......
"Let's go and see for myself, after all, I haven't seen my senior for a long time, and I don't know if he misses me as a senior." β
Professor Malfoy spread out the letter to cover Ethan Hollen and Rimo's gaze, and he leaned back in his comfortable chair, slowly closing his eyes as if dozing off, his head bowed.
He was feeling the doll in Hogwartsβa pseudo-Horcrux.
Horcruxes are very complex to craft, and they involve knowledge of soul splits and magical rituals, which can be dangerous.
If it weren't for the many sequelae of the Horcrux, he would have died of disgust, and he wouldn't have slept for fifty years with a spell.
And he should be one of the few wizards today who is familiar with Horcrux making and can do practical operations.
Oh, and as for why it says it's a pseudo-horcrux...... The doll hides only a small fragment of his soul, only a very small part, which does not meet the minimum conditions of a Horcrux and does not create another personality.
The advantage of this is that even if the doll is destroyed, the soul fragments inside will return instantly, and it will not cause too much mental damage to the body.
When necessary, he can remotely manipulate a free-moving puppet by controlling his soul fragments.
Although he didn't make the doll into a Horcrux, the cunning Malfoy always left himself with a lot of back roads, attacking and retreating.
Consciousness sank continuously, as if escaping into the void.
Durmstrang and Hogwarts have unrivaled magical protection, and even if they are connected, it can be a challenge to pass through both at the same time without being detected.
Through the subtle connection between the soul fragments that defied distance, his consciousness carefully cut through the ancient spell defenses on both sides, and slowly opened his eyes with a name tag buried in the doll's core.
ββ
At the same time.
Hogwarts, Gryffindor House dormitory.
A blonde-haired doll, dressed in a dress half-dyed red, lay quietly on a bed draped from a crimson flannel curtain.
Her eyebrows are very long, her eyes are shining with a dark blue and almost black color, her clothes are very clean, and her golden hair is soft and smooth on the bed, echoing the long dress that is half white and half red, and she looks a simple but noble strange temperament.
'Here is ......'
The doll had been staring at the plank on the top of the bed with her eyes open, but at one point, her eyes suddenly blinked.
Like an awakened ghost, the doll sat up slowly, not quite comfortably.
It looks like a dorm room. β
This kind of covert invasion must not be exposed, otherwise it will definitely attract the attention of those at Hogwarts.
Ranko manipulated the doll to get up from the bed, looking at the scene around him, and analyzing it in his heart.
Would Dumbledore not know he was doing something to the doll? He may not see it, but in which little wizard's bedroom is the doll?
Big heart?
Definitely not.
So what do you want to do with this kind of 'indulgence'?
Professor Malfoy was instantly vigilant, although he could guess what Dumbledore wanted to do, he could never completely guess everything, and the previous little time contact was enough to see that this person was getting more and more terrifying the older he was.
Sometimes he really can't see through it, even if he uses the meditation basin, which is equivalent to having the original book in hand, he still can't see through this person.
Besides, he was just idle, thinking about the situation of Kangkang's younger brother, and he didn't have the slightest interest in Dumbledore's layout.
As long as he wants, Ranko can pull away at any time.
He steadied himself, but as soon as the doll's feet touched the ground, he heard the door to the dormitory open.
Is it such a coincidence?
Without the slightest hesitation, the doll lay down quietly, as if it had accidentally fallen from the bed to the ground.
At the same time, he heard the voices of two little witches coming in through the door.
'Girls' dormitory? β
Professor Malfoy suddenly felt a little subtle.
Of course, this is not to say that there is anything wrong with the doll in the girls' dormitory, he just feels that this voice, as if, maybe, probably, maybe, is a little bit familiar.
'Harry Potter? β
PROFESSOR MALFOY: ???
Wow Dumbledore, why are you so bad, old man??
