Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 51 51 Honor
The appearance of the school newspaper gave the students a new impression of some professors, not only Professor Higher, but also Quirrell.

Muggle-borns will be interested in the Muggle studies courses that Quirrell tells, and more people will sympathize with his past experiences.The most obvious change is that there are fewer and fewer students laughing at him in class, and Quirrell just happened to talk about a more useful spell - the repelling spell, which can be used to knock back enemies - which made him look Looks more like a serious professor.

Professor McGonagall also specifically chatted with Quirrell, because Quirrell mentioned in the interview that Dean McGonagall's concern was the main reason why he became a professor.The two talked for a long time, and finally ended the conversation in Quirrell's complicated psychology.

This is completely different from what Quirrell thought.

Harry, who was chosen for the interview, was actively won by him. On the surface, he used the name of worshiping the Boy Who Lived, but in fact it was because he wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Harry and help the master understand his weaknesses.

And Hermione is because she is Harry's friend, and maybe Harry can relax more with her presence.

But Quirrell didn't expect to get the sympathy of Harry and Hermione in the end, and the two promised to vote for Quirrell after the school newspaper came out.

Not only the two of them, but some other students also said that they would vote for Quirrell after class.

Unknowingly, the vision in Quirrell's heart seemed to be achieved in this way - to gain the respect of the students and the approval of others.

Although this is still far from what Quirrell desires in his heart, what if... plus defeating the troll in front of the students?

Then he will get more respect.

Quirrell couldn't help but recall Toby's suggestion at the beginning, and his belief in his heart was shaken again.

Dealing with trolls is his forte, and it's much easier than stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

Quirrell was sitting alone in the office, and the scarf was still emitting a weird smell.

He later sneaked a peek behind his head and found that the master's face was indeed not there, and the master's voice had indeed not appeared since Halloween. Quirrell couldn't help but wonder if Voldemort had really ended his possession , and the one at the Halloween dinner was Voldemort's word delivered through other forms of magic.

Originally, Quirrell had another plan, which was to interfere with Harry Potter's broomstick at the upcoming Quidditch match so that he would fall to his death in full view, which would also solve the master's worst enemy-at least Quirrell. Lo thinks so.

But this time, Quirrell couldn't help but get tangled up.

Not only because the risk of this plan is too great, after all, there are other professors watching the game, especially that Toby Highmore, who has repeatedly blocked his plan, what if the same result happens this time manage?
On the other hand, it is because Quirrell can't help but want to get the title of "Most Popular Professor". Even if this hope is slim, Quirrell still wants to wait a little longer, at least until Christmas , and wait until the final result is announced.

He desires fame more than anything else.

It was precisely because of this desire that he tried to find Voldemort in the first place.

Now, because of the same desire, Quirrell boldly came up with a plan to escape Voldemort's control.

There is no need to escape for long, just waiting until Christmas is enough.

"Owner."

Quirrell tentatively asked, "Master, are you still there?"

He waited for a long time in fear, but he didn't get an answer.

The interviews in the school newspaper were great, but not everyone's satisfaction.

Ever since the interview with Professor Highmore, Percy had done all the work of sorting out the articles, lest the fast-talking Ron accidentally write something he shouldn't have written.

Naturally, Ron was happy to see this scene. He was most annoyed with writing papers, and reporting was fine.

But after that he kept avoiding Hermione on purpose, Harry didn't understand why he did it, and Ron hesitated to say why.

Until the day when the school newspaper was officially printed, the furious Hermione finally found Ron who was eating chicken legs in the auditorium.

"not even one"

Hermione was so angry that she couldn't speak: "I know you can't remember so many questions, so I deleted many of them in advance, but you didn't ask any of them! Not a single one!"

Ron quickly hid behind Harry, and he pleaded in a low voice: "Do you know how scary the scene was? Seeing the injury on Professor Higher's calf, Percy and I were too scared to speak Here you go. You should really see for yourself, do you think it's a good time to ask the questions you ask? This is too cruel."

"Nice counterattack," Harry couldn't help saying.

Hermione froze for a moment, she quickly turned to the page of the school newspaper interviewed by Professor Higher, and read it again carefully.

Then she sat beside the two of them without saying a word, picked up a slice of pie and ate in small bites.

Harry guessed that Ron's words might have played a role, and Hermione began to feel guilty—she only wanted to satisfy her curiosity, but never thought that those questions would probably involve Professor Highmore injured experience.

Harry quickly gave Ron a look, telling him not to talk nonsense at such a time, and then he asked Hermione with concern, "Are you okay?"

"It's not good at all." Hermione said sadly: "I promised to vote for Professor Quirrell, what if Professor Highmore finds out."

Students can't cheat on their votes, because if they do, the collection boxes will bite their hands until the professor frees them.

Neville made this kind of mistake. He wanted to vote for Professor Highmore, plus his own and his parents' two votes. As a result, he was bitten by the wrist by the collection box and died in public rest. The room yelled for a long time.Not enough, but he didn't explain why he had to vote three times in total, and the others just thought he had accidentally misremembered.

Harry racked his brains to comfort him: "Don't worry anymore, Professor Highmore likes outstanding students like you the most, and he doesn't care about trivial things like voting."

"Really?" Ron asked, "Since when did you know Professor Highmore so well?"

Harry ignored Ron, and he continued: "And we have a lot of other important things, think about it Hermione, we haven't figured out who Nick Flamel is, and the Quidditch season It's about to start, this is us—well, it's one of the few opportunities for me to stand up, and the points deducted before can be won back by the game."

As soon as he said this, Harry became extremely nervous.

Ron bit the chicken leg and said, "You are really good at comforting people. Not only are you doing a disservice to the other person, but you can also trap yourself in it."

Harry glared at him angrily, and Ron smiled and handed him an untouched chicken leg: "I'm just kidding, you must be able to perform well in the competition, everyone knows that."

It's a pity that Ron's ability to comfort people is not very strong. Under this heavy expectation, Harry suddenly became more nervous.

"You two, alas."

Hermione sighed deeply. She wiped her hands clean, stood up and said, "Today is the day when the new draft will be published. I went to find Professor Highmore. I hope he really doesn't mind that much."

"If he asks, I don't know how to answer."
