Dumbledore took a sip of his tea and continued:

"Whether it's a Muggle version or a wizarding version, the theory in the book is very good.

You can see that you are not talking nonsense, and there are some of the spells that I have tried a little and that are actually feasible.

Your mention in the Witcher version

'More important than magic is imagination! ’

'The essence of the spell is to change the world from within! ’

I couldn't agree more, it's hard for me to imagine that you could comprehend these ...... when you were a child."

Douglas suddenly had a clear idea in his mind, perhaps because these were the reasons why he was able to pass the interview.

Suddenly, Dumbledore changed his mind.

"So, I'm curious, Douglas, why did you choose Hogwarts to teach?

Or why did you choose Defence Against the Dark Arts?

From the time I was in school to the time I read your book, I felt that the Charms class was more suitable for you.

Of course, Filius has no plans to retire at the moment.

I still remember when I was in school,

Philius complimented you on changing the Fluorescent Flicker Charm into a spell that could counter the Dark Arts......

So I'm still curious why you ........"

As he said this, Douglas felt a sharp gaze on him.

He pretended to shrug his shoulders lightly and said casually:

In fact, the outside world is full of disturbances, and people's interactions are full of deceit.

This is true of both Muggles and the wizarding world.

Even the wizarding world is more dangerous, and it's very bad for my writing.

It reminds me of my time studying at Hogwarts.

Hogwarts is like an ivory tower.

Oh, and it seems that your knowledge of Muggles is not that comprehensive.

The ivory tower here has a new interpretation in the Muggle world, and it is not the same as what it means in the Bible. ”

Seeing that Dumbledore was puzzled by his use of the word ivory tower, Douglas had to change to an older word to explain it.

"To me, Hogwarts is a utopia in the real world, although there are all kinds of distractions,

But on the whole, the minds of the people here are still relatively simple.

Of course, there is one more main reason......

That's when my writing got stuck ......"

Dumbledore frowned slightly, showing incomprehension.

Douglas smiled awkwardly:

"Professor, if you've read the All Career Master, you'll notice that it was interrupted eight months ago, whether it's a wizarding or Muggle version.

Actually, I have so little information to look up that most of it is in the Muggle world.

If you know that I started writing novels when I was in first grade, it's because the Hogwarts library helped me a lot......

Also, because the interruption has been too long, it has caused some readers and fans in the Muggle and wizarding worlds to be dissatisfied with me......

I've heard that there are already extreme fans who are doxxing me...... I mean, look for me everywhere......"

Hearing Douglas's words, Dumbledore nodded as if he were surprised.

He looked at Douglas with a smile and said playfully:

"I understand, I understand.

I also have some fans who will send me something weird and dangerous.

It's just because they want to verify that I'm too old to move.

But don't worry, I think it should be difficult for anyone else, except for a few friends who know you well, to find out that the author of these bestsellers is you. ”

Dumbledore winked playfully at this, indicating that he had the same helplessness.

Then he looked at Douglas again with a scrutinizing eye.

This made Douglas very puzzled, since his answer was fine, why did Dumbledore still react like this?

Or did his appearance disrupt Dumbledore's original plan?

Dumbledore was quick to explain why.

"Mr. Douglas, I remember that during your time at school, you had a good relationship with Quirinus, right?"

Douglas briefly recalled that Dumbledore was referring to Professor Quirinus Quirrell, his then professor of Muggle studies.

At first, I suspected that the other party was Harry Potter's first-year Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

But as one of the best graduates of Hogwarts, staying on as a professor directly after graduation,

Even Quirinus Quirrell, who was privately considered by some do-gooders to be the next Dean of Ravenclaw.

Obviously, he wasn't alone with the stammering Quirrell who was following Voldemort for a long time.

It's probably just the same surname.

Coupled with the other party's good personality and knowledge, it is also because the other party likes to travel.

Overall, the relationship between the two was not bad during their time at school.

There was even a relationship after graduation, until more than two years ago, when the other party said that he would go to Albania for a year of leave, and then the contact between the two was broken.

Looking at Dumbledore's expression, Douglas wondered if something had happened to the other party.

"Well, Professor, you know that I'm from a Muggle background, so I still have an advantage in Quirinus's class."

Dumbledore nodded, then said:

"Is that why you applied for the Defence Against the Dark Arts class?"

“？？？”

Douglas was even more confused, what did his application for the position of professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts have to do with Quirinus.

Looking at Douglas's puzzled expression, Dumbledore's stern application eased slightly.

Explained: "The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor last school year was Quirinus, and he ......"

"What!"

Douglas was surprised, he had always thought that Quirrell from Defence Against the Dark Arts had been retrieved by Dumbledore from the outside.

Merlin's torn pants, which he really doesn't know, maybe mentioned in the original book. But the last time he read the original book, more than 30 years had passed.

He has long been vague about the details in the original book.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Listening to what Dumbledore meant, it was obvious that he doubted whether he was the second player sent by Voldemort.

According to Dumbledore's custom, as long as there is a little suspicion,

He certainly doesn't mind thinking of himself as a little boss on Harry's waythrough.

What to do! What to do! Ask for help online!

If it weren't for this damn system, it wouldn't be useful at all.

I'm here to find a job to unlock the system.,Not to be a boss for elementary school students.。

Soon Douglas calmed down, collected his thoughts and said:

"Professor, the last time I had contact with Quirinas was more than two years ago, when he said that he was going to Albania on a sabbatical year.

We haven't been in touch since.

I don't even know when he will return to England and become a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts.

But I heard from my editor that last year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was a man with a garlic-scented scarf and a stammering mouth!

This and the personable Quirinas...... It seems like...... It's not quite the same.

Professor, if you can, can you tell me about it?

And where is he now?

Could it be that there is really a curse on this position? ”

Although Douglas made a move against the guest,

But he was really puzzled, he didn't dare to think that the two Quirrells were actually the same person.

Now he needed to know what was going on.

Although he still remembers the general plot, he has been attending Hogwarts since he came to school.

He didn't believe that his little butterfly would not change anything after flapping its wings.

Dumbledore really didn't expect Douglas to be so direct and ask directly about the curse.

He also had a headache, worried that he had really guessed wrong, but the other party gave up the job because of the rumors of the curse.

I have to look for a new professor, so I'm tired.

Dumbledore watched as Douglas slowly recounted what had happened to Professor Quirrell from the previous year.

"Douglas, you must know that the study of black magic is very dangerous, it can change people's minds without realizing it......"

When mentioning Voldemort behind Quirrell's head, Dumbledore took a peculiar look at Douglas and saw that he was not like ordinary wizards, panicking after hearing Voldemort's name, and his heart was a little more relieved.

And Douglas was not idle.

Say the right words at the right time.

"Wow! - Is that okay? ”

"Whew! - Isn't this nonsense? ”

"Hey! - That's what's wrong with him! ”

Yo! - Haven't heard of it!

"Look at what this is all about!"

"Who's to say it isn't!"

As for the effect, Dumbledore didn't feel like his words had fallen to the ground anyway.

After Dumbledore finished speaking, Douglas fell into deep thought.

He didn't know the story as a Muggle reader anymore.

Rather, as a member of the wizarding world.

So he noticed some details, maybe even those that Dumbledore hadn't even thought of at the time.

But at this moment Douglas hesitated.

He didn't know if he should tell Dumbledore this, because once he spoke.

is suspected of whitewashing Quirrell, and even more seriously, he may be beaten into the remnants of Voldemort.

Be targeted for the Order of the Phoenix purge.

Dumbledore may have seen Douglas's hesitation, and spoke:

"Mr. Holmes, is there anything wrong with this? Or is there anything you would like to say? ”

Douglas glanced at Dumbledore and said with careful preparation:

"Professor, the following statement only represents my speculation based on the professor's statement, and does not represent my personal position."

Dumbledore took a piece of snack in his mouth and nodded playfully.

This action did not let Douglas's guard down.

But he also understood Dumbledore's good intentions.

So he raised his doubts.
