Chapter 33: Traps and Vampires

In the afternoon, Anthony had been looking forward to the Defence Against the Dark Arts class for a long time.

In fact, he was quite curious about how Dumbledore would react when he knew that Voldemort was attached to the back of Quirrell's head.

Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, located on the second floor.

As long as you get to the second floor, you won't have to worry about finding a place.

Because just follow the smell of garlic in the air, and you can easily find the classroom.

Quirrell says the garlic was there to protect him from vampires because he offended them in Romania during his summer vacation.

Putting aside the prejudice against him.

If it weren't for the fact that Voldemort possessed his head later.

This professor who graduated from Ravenclaw should be very productive.

Quirinas Quirrell, a top student who has earned 12 certificates in the O.W.L. exam.

After graduating from Hogwarts, he spent the rest of his time as a professor at the school, except for the years he spent outside.

Previously, he was a professor of Muggle studies.

In 1991, after the old Deng Tou couldn't fool the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, he took over the course with Quirrell's consent.

For Quirrell, this was undoubtedly a huge promotion, from being taught as a marginal elective to being taught as a compulsory course.

So he made the worst decision of his life.

Quirrell wanted to gain some first-hand hands-on experience. Alone in the forests of Romania, he wants to study or capture some dark creatures.

As a result, he was eager to prove himself, and unfortunately met Voldemort, who was still breathing at the time.

Immediately after that, we all know what happened next.

Dumbledore was also well aware that he was primarily responsible for Quirrell's misfortune, as he asked Quirrell to take over as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and it was he who approved Quirrell's trip to Romania.

...

Anthony sighed at the tragic fate of the professor, and walked in with Harry.

The steel chandelier in the classroom was very conspicuous, and as expected, the air smelled of garlic.

"Professor?"

Anthony had just walked out of the classroom on his front foot, and as he sat down, a gentle palm landed on his shoulder.

It's Dumbledore!

"There's a letter from you." The old headmaster smiled and handed a letter to Anthony, then lowered his head and winked at him.

Forehead?

Anthony looked at the old headmaster with a deep expression in shock.

Under the gaze of him and many other young wizards, Dumbledore slowly walked out of the professor and disappeared into the hallway.

?

What happened?

Anthony, who was full of confusion, took out the letter.

It's not so much a letter as a sticky note.

Because it doesn't have an envelope at all.

Anthony frowned and opened the sticky notes, the font was very beautiful, and there were countless circles behind each word, if nothing else, this was definitely Dumbledore's own handwriting.

However, Anthony was shocked by its contents, and it only took a few words for him to understand Dumbledore's intentions.

Anthony then threw the letter into the air, and then the parchment suddenly spontaneously combusted, spitting tongues of fire in the air, leaving no ashes behind.

"The headmaster has something to do with you?" Harry asked curiously.

"Well, I heard that Gringotts has been invaded," Anthony said in a smug voice.

Because in the letter, Dumbledore frantically hinted to him that the Philosopher's Stone was in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, which he knew at first glance was a trap.

This...

Anthony smashed his mouth, dissatisfaction spread in his heart, Dumbledore, what's wrong? Did he mistake him for Snape?

He's not a spy!

...

Although he was already a spy for Mr. Huck, he didn't want to meddle in anything about Voldemort.

"Gringotts? How is this possible! He's the safest place in the world outside of Hogwarts! Ron said in surprise, and then explained the origin of the oldest 'wizarding bank' to Harry and Hermione, Muggle wizards who didn't know Gringotts.

As he spoke, Hermione and Harry gradually got to know Gringotts.

While many little wizards were chattering.

The bell rings for class.

Quirrell, dressed in a brown suit with a wizard's robe wrapped around his coat and a ridiculous purple scarf on his head, walked in.

"Oh! - You guys - good. ”

"I'm - your-your-dark magic-defense class-professor. Quirinus Quirrell. ”

Quirrell said expectantly.

And then it was very successful to encounter the cold field.

People have a very bad opinion of this professor. As a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, he was a little too cowardly.

The older wizards were also surprised by Quirrell's appearance this year.

Although there weren't many wizards who had taken his Muggle studies class before, there were forty or fifty of them. (The exam is easy to pass.) οΌ‰

But since he took over as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, it's like a different person.

It's really hard to see if he's trying to disguise himself, or if he's deliberately showing his differences, praying for his identity to be revealed.

Pray for your identity to be revealed?

Suddenly, Anthony's mind flashed with inspiration, and it was not impossible to do so.

Maybe Quirrell had been silently emitting a 'distress' signal from the start? It's just that everyone chose to ignore it?

Seeing that the young wizards were probably not interested in his self-introduction, Quirrell smiled a little sheepishly, and then began his opening ceremony for almost all grades of the year.

- Explain why you use so much garlic in your classroom.

By the way, turn the subject to vampires. The story begins with the dark creature of the vampire.

Although Quirrell didn't teach any spells in the whole class other than telling his own story. But it still made Anthony feel new.

It was the first time he had learned about the vampire race.

Unlike werewolves, vampires have a close relationship with wizards.

During the Dark Ages, they did not join Voldemort's side and remained neutral.

Of course, this is not to say that all vampires are good, but compared to the werewolves' frenzied dogs (with the exception of Professor Lupin), vampires have a great look and feel in the wizarding world.

Even if they needed to eat blood, they wouldn't be able to cause hostility. There is a lot of blood on the market, and they don't need to attack wizards for this.

"Professor! Do vampires attack Muggles? After Quirrell stammered about his tragic experience, Anthony finally couldn't help but raise the doubts in his heart.

"Uh..."Quirrell's reaction was a little shocked, after all, he had repeatedly explained his experience of being chased by vampires for a long time, and as a result, the little wizard's attention was actually here!

"Thisβ€”" At this time, he still had some professionalism, and after being stunned for a second, he replied solemnly: "Under normal circumstances, vampires don't attack Muggles. ”

"There is no magic in Muggles' blood, and for vampires, this blood does not make them feel full. It's the same as when we drink water. He explained slowly.

PS: Quirrell stammers when he speaks, usually I will spread out, but when the dialogue is dense, there will be no "-", which will affect the perception.
