Chapter 32: Quirinus Quirrell is to blame
This Traceless Stretching Charm packet was also a gift from Lord Voldemort.
Once, Gretel had a big problem, and in order to make it easier for the professor to interpret it, he brought almost all the relevant literature and notes.
Even with the levitation charm, he moved it back and forth twice.
Afterwards, Voldemort gave him such a light gray bag to facilitate his daily life.
The space for the Traceless Stretching Mantra is not large, only the size of a cube, which is completely sufficient for daily life.
Since receiving this gift, Gretel's important belongings have basically been carried with him.
However, every time Quirrell saw him pull something out of his bag, he didn't know why. The corners of my mouth twitch when I can't help it.
Don't look at the trolls of this tribe crushing the little wizards, in the case of the two deans joining forces against the enemy, even if they have rough skin and thick flesh, they don't last more than ten minutes.
After dealing with the trolls with Snape, McGonagall walked up the stairs with a serious face, and the atmosphere on the stairs almost dropped to freezing point.
Quirrell was left to clean up the battlefield and deal with the filthy trolls.
"You don't have to explain, the headmaster told everyone to go back to the common room with the prefects.
But you're here, and if we hadn't arrived just in time, you'd all be food for the trolls. ”
The three little ones, who had just calmed down and had a little more blood on their faces, instantly stiffened again when they heard Professor McGonagall's words.
"Everyone present deducted 10 points."
Professor McGonagall's tone was stern, and she suppressed everyone, including Gretel.
Seeing that Snape didn't seem to be enjoying it, he jumped to the sidelines.
Harry, who had been with him for a long time, was keenly aware of the danger and directly confessed his mistake.
"Yes, Professor, we admit our mistakes, we shouldn't be so reckless, not next time."
Ron on the side also admitted his mistake.
Hermione tried to come forward and say it was because of herself, but Harry and Ron were holding her behind her back, preventing her from looking for death in front of Snape.
Gretel hugged his arms all the time, anyway, the crisis was resolved, and he was not frightened now.
Deducting points or something, it's not a problem for him, just the points he has earned back since the beginning of school are enough for him to waste dozens of times.
I don't know if it was because of Harry's confession that Snape didn't have Yaxing who spat venom at him.
Snape actually pointed the finger at Gretel: "Mr. Gretel, you are really in the limelight today."
Carrying the attacks of a dozen trolls, he retreated as he walked, making a good spell in one hand.
In my opinion, you don't need to continue studying at Hogwarts, just graduate early.
The Auror Office admires a valiant wizard like you the most, or you'll pack up tomorrow and report on it.
I can write you a letter of recommendation in my capacity as Head of Slytherin. ”
Gretel has long figured out Snape's temperament, and once he starts to be angry with you, don't make a sound, or you will drown in the venom.
Snape was babbling about Gretel, and McGonagall's tone finally softened and asked about the situation.
After understanding the situation, Professor McGonagall made a final decision.
Although the demerit points cannot be erased, they can be added for other reasons.
However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, although the points do not need to be deducted, but other punishments still have to be there.
As a warning to the other young wizards, the four of them were to help Hagrid clean the Quidditch pitch in November until the end of the Quidditch match.
——
A few days before a Quidditch match.
Gretel huddles in a room of need to escape the cold November of Great Britain.
Penelope used magic to sketch out the magic configuration that had been basically made on the side, and carried out the final investigation.
"Gretel, why haven't you been running to Professor Quirrell's office lately?"
Gretel said angrily, "The professor is not here, there is only a story to listen to." ”
After saying that, he shrunk himself into the warm blanket, the winter in Great Britain is the kind of clammy cold that penetrates into the bone marrow.
He just couldn't take it anymore.
Penelope listened to it for a moment, and wondered a little, didn't Professor Quirrell nest in his office every day? When is it gone?
Calculate the time, after Halloween, I haven't seen Voldemort appear for more than ten days.
Now the professor of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class that Ravenclaw and Slytherin take together has also become the story king Quirrell.
It's not that the students didn't ask questions, it's just that the person who asked the question was deducted 10 points.
No one will dare to mess with this Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who seems to be submissive, but has mastered the whole list of deductions.
Even a little wizard who has something to do can't imagine that this one body, two souls.
Sometimes, Glitter even wondered if Dumbledore couldn't hold back and killed his esteemed Professor Voldemort on Halloween night.
It wasn't until Dumbledore met with him to find out about Voldemort that he realized that Voldemort hadn't appeared at all that day.
According to Dumbledore's explanation, Voldemort's remnant soul was already very weak because it had not been replenished by life force for a long time.
Weak enough that Quirrell had already acted according to plan, he was in a deep sleep, unable to steal the Philosopher's Stone.
However, according to Dumbledore's observations, at most around Christmas, Voldemort's soul will reawaken.
Quirrell has been in a lot of emotions lately, because another soul in his body is about to wake up.
Thinking of this, Gretel couldn't help urging: "Senior sister, we have to speed up, I want to make a sample around Christmas." ”
If nothing else, just to give Professor Voldemort the sample before he drops his vest.
To say more, to say less, this project has been able to develop to this extent, and Professor Fu should account for at least fifty percent of the credit.
It can be said that without the help of Professor Fu, this project would not have known how many years it would take for him to bear fruit.
If Penelope's graduation is not completed, the Krivat family will automatically receive a ticket to the New Era after the vow is automatically lifted.
This is also the reason why Penelope's father agrees to Penelo's unbreakable vow.
Even though Penelope is now degraded and largely out of research, Gretel still doesn't want to lose a partner he can fully trust.
Although she has no creative research talents, she has extraordinary communication and organizational skills.
Professor Flitwick told her more than once that she should learn to build up her majesty so that she could better manage the young wizard in the future.
There are still three years to graduate, and when she graduates, she can be the executor of Gretel Communications Company and even the future Gretel business empire.
Therefore, even from the point of view of retaining Penelope, the credit for success must be properly distributed to Professor Fu to be worthy of conscience.
But on the other hand, even if there are results, it is impossible to give Professor Fu a little bit of profit.
It would not be a good thing if he had an untold amount of wealth that belonged entirely to him.
Therefore, Glitter thought about using samples to share the joy of the success of the project with Professor Fu.
At least, it made him feel that this year the professor was not in vain.
——
On a sunny and cold day, the Quidditch match came as scheduled.
On a big day like this, even if he doesn't like to watch a football game, Glitter still came to the court with his roommates.
Who knows what Quirrell chanted the spell in the arena for, perhaps to help his master get rid of his troubles?
Didn't he think that with so many wizards present, couldn't he find a person who was good at levitation?
Glitter felt that his master was asleep, otherwise he would not have been allowed to do such a thing, and maybe he would have punished him for his stupidity.
Not to mention whether you can fall to death or die, it is not cost-effective to say that it may anger Dumbledore because of it.
In addition, because of the punishment of Halloween, they have been together for so long, and they are more or less friends.
As Harry staggered through the air, Gretel found Quirrell.
"Hey, Professor, I'm too crowded over there, if you don't mind, I can sit next to you."
Before Quirrell could agree or refuse, Glitter sat down next to Quirrell.
"Harry, if you have a conscience, don't drag me to go to war with you in the future, I'm really too dedicated."
After sitting down, Glitter realized why Quirrell had such a large open space around him.
Because he smells so bad.
Glitter swears trolls smell better than Quirrell.
Professor Tom Riddle, bear with the humiliation, you have really worked hard.
It's not your fault that you don't have a nose, it's all to blame on the damn Quirinus Quirrell.
