Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Battle of the Forbidden Forest and the Curse
"Poor boy, he's under the Imperius curse!"
John was about to backstab Quirrell, but when he heard the sound approaching, he immediately pretended to be a soul-robber.
Professor Sprout trotted over to John, and was heartbroken to see him.
Professor McGonagall was like an angry lion, her lips turned white with force, and hurting the students of Hogwarts was something she couldn't bear.
The wand burst into Professor McGonagall's hand as she pressed closer, turning the nearby trees into a lion and lunging at Quirrell.
"You're going to pay for it!"
Don't question an angry professor, especially if this professor is still an Animagus.
Quirrell tried to fight back, but Professor McGonagall turned into a tabby cat and dodged it all nimbly, leaping out of the cat's claws, leaving scars on the cloak.
Turning back into her human form, Professor McGonagall raised her wand and attacked Quirrell.
"Stupefy"
Quirrell was hit and flew away, and McGonagall tried to chase after her, but the movement attracted the patrolling wizards.
"Professor McGonagall?!"
Harry exclaimed, and Professor McGonagall secretly said something terrible.
Nervously shouted, "Hide Potter!" ”
Quirrell, who should have been asleep, floated up and down like a snake, and by the time he got close to Harry, Professor McGonagall had attacked again.
Quirrell reversed course and disappeared into the Forbidden Forest.
"What's going on?"
Hagrid was also here, and the fire was hard to extinguish, and it was only with the cooperation of Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick who arrived that they were able to extinguish the fire.
Rao, this battle is also very dangerous.
Hermione looked nervously at Harry, relieved to see that he wasn't hurt.
But when her eyes shifted, she screamed at the sight of the little wizard who had fallen to the ground.
"Oh my God, John!"
Hermione, ignoring the danger, ran down to Professor Sprout and asked in a trembling voice, "He'll be fine, right?" ”
Professor Sprout is the head of Hufflepuff and a stocky and kind witch.
Hearing Hermione's inquiry, she touched John's head with pity, "He's under the Imperius curse, we're going to have to send him to the school hospital." ”
"The Unforgivable Curse?!"
The name of the Imperius Curse sent Hermione's heart trembling.
Harry and Neville also ran over, and even Malfoy didn't leave at the moment, but couldn't believe it.
Professor McGonagall looked heavy, someone had entered Hogwarts and injured a student with the Imperius Charm.
Professor Flitwick screamed angrily, "Damn the shreds! ”
The centaur was alarmed, the centaur appeared young, with white-blond hair and the body of a silver-maned horse.
"Hagrid, professors."
Ferenze came here and saw what had happened, with some surprise in his eyes.
The centaur was able to get a prophecy by looking at the stars, but what was happening was something more than he had ever expected.
"Hagrid, you take them back and take Mr. Wick to the school hospital, we're going to search this place thoroughly."
Professor McGonagall gave the assignment, and Hagrid picked up John and followed the frightened little wizard.
Ferenze followed them, chatting with Harry about the mystical starry sky.
The group walked towards the outside of the Forbidden Forest, and John gradually relaxed.
"I think three professors are enough for Quirrell to eat a pot, but only if you find it, of course."
John was secretly glad that he didn't need to see Quirrell for a while.
The unicorn also survived, and Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn, who was in charge of the Fantastic Beasts lesson, heard about it and rushed to take care of it.
Relaxed, John's eyelids felt a little heavy.
Also, in order not to let Quirrell see the flaws, he needs to be tense all the time, and now that he is safe and relaxed, he will be sleepy.
John, who was about to get a good night's sleep, heard the sound of squirting and moving, and his relieved heart suddenly lifted.
When he opened his eyes, he saw those resentful eyes.
"AvadaKedavra"
"!"
John didn't expect Quirrell to dare to come forward, and he didn't expect that he would save people.
John, who was in Hagrid's arms, kicked Harry and Malfoy in front of him directly, and with too much force, John fell.
The green light struck John, and the amulet activated in an instant.
The Iron Armor Charm blocked the front and collided with the Reaper Spell, weakening the Reaper Charm.
Originally, Quirrell was weakened because of Voldemort, and was beaten by Professor McGonagall and even more disabled.
Now this life-seeking spell is weak, and the iron armor spell has blocked it.
John flew out when he was hit, but he was sure that it wasn't enough to kill him.
Before closing his eyes, John heard many horses' hooves, and it was the horsemen coming.
Quirrell didn't dare to stop, and after using the Death Seeking Charm, he turned around and ran away without even looking at the results.
His stupidity also paid the price, and he was chased by the centaurs for a night.
...
It's been a long time since John had slept this long since he had the Sleepless.
When he opened his eyes, it was still dark.
He slept for three days, during which time Hogwarts exploded.
An evil creature broke into the Forbidden Forest and kidnapped a Slytherin student with the Imperius Curse.
As Harry and the others involved in this incident, they could have relied on first-hand information to become the center of public opinion, but they did not.
Even Malfoy was not in the mood to play around at this time, his mind was full of only the green light that flew towards him and John's sudden kick.
"He saved me, Wick, why."
Malfoy was confused, knowing that he was so bad with John, and insulted him for being a mudblood, but in the end the other party saved him.
It overwhelmed him.
The same was true for the three little ones, Harry and Hermione couldn't sleep because they were worried.
Harry, in particular, saw the green light as if it were the same as the one in his dream.
He knew exactly what that meant.
His friend John could have died trying to save himself, and Harry couldn't stop shaking.
Three days, like a year.
Dumbledore also appeared in the school hospital several times, and even Snape, who didn't like John, had a gloomy face all day long, staring at Quirrell with murderous eyes, as if he would give the other party a life-seeking charm in the next second.
John woke up in the dark of night, but several professors still received the message.
The first to come was Professor Snape, his face darkened, and in a distinctively greasy tone, he asked, "What the hell are you doing, John Wick!" ”
"Calm down, Severus." Dumbledore appeared and interrupted Professor Snape.
The eyes under the half-moon lenses were full of relief, and Dumbledore smiled and said, "That's good news, isn't it, but we should be glad that the spellcaster is too weak, weak enough to keep John Wick alive." ”
Professor Snape's face was slightly better, but still gloomy.
"John Wick, do you know the man who cast the spell on you?"
In response to Dumbledore's question, John thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, but he seems to be familiar with Hogwarts." ”
Among the professors, the four deans are all in the Forbidden Forest except for Snape, and Snape is a spy and it is impossible to jump back, so it is self-evident who it is.
John almost didn't say Quirrell directly, and Dumbledore smiled and didn't speak.
The next day, Harry and the others came to visit and told him about the unicorn, which survived, and Professor Quirrell had taken a few days of sick leave, which he might not have seen during the exam.
For the rest of his life, John never had to be bothered by Quirrell again.
He just had to wait for exam week to come.
And John hadn't forgotten what Dumbledore had said last time, and the thought of the Philosopher's Stone made John's heart burn.
After constant waiting and anticipation, exam week has arrived.
