Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 67 Quirrell and Fear

"Monster, don't bite me, stay away from me, get out!"

Quirrell suddenly woke up from his dream, and there seemed to be a terrifying vampire face in front of him.

“Fortunately it was just a dream”

He got up and sat up, and put the scarf on after washing, even he himself didn't notice when he had such a habit.

At this time, Quirrell's thoughts are all on the giant monster in the forest - he has decided to defeat the giant monster in front of the students, which will definitely make him more recognized and noticed.

Outside the castle was a cloudy and rainy day after the heavy snow, and the air became humid.

When going downstairs, Quirrell met the players of the Gryffindor Quidditch team who were rushing to practice, and Harry Potter smiled at him encouragingly, which really flattered Quirrell. The desire to hunt trolls is also stronger.

When the two separated, Harry stared at Professor Quirrell's back suspiciously: "Why did the professor react so strongly?"

This reminds Harry of the first time he met Quirrell at the Leaky Cauldron.

Fred and George forcefully drive Harry away.

"Hasn't he always been the same?"

"Don't try to be lazy, we don't have a backup Seeker."

"Wood will kill you if you are found missing."

"Empty your guts out again."

Captain Wood turned his head and stared at the two Weasley brothers sternly.

"I know we can win!" He began to cliché again: "The premise is to hurry up and train!"

The team members were all aware of Wood's determination, but they all became mournful.

On the other side, Quirrell has entered the Forbidden Forest, and the land has become muddy, making it difficult to move forward, so he can only walk with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

When he was passing through a needle forest, he suddenly heard a loud noise - a horse man with black hair and black body rushed out suddenly, the bow and arrow in his hand pointed at Quirrell dexterously, ready to go.

"Oh--"

Quirrell was so frightened that he quickly stepped back a few steps. He raised his wand nervously, and heard the centaur on the opposite side ask, "Professor Quirrell?"

"It's-it's me," Quirrell stammered, "I remember you as a-was-"

"Bane." The centaur introduced himself, finally willing to put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and Quirrell also slowly put away his wand.

It appears to be a misunderstanding.

Quirrell had seen each other before when he entered the Forbidden Forest to capture the giant monster.

"You-you-what's the matter?" Quirrell asked curiously.

Bane left without answering, and Quirrell was not surprised by this at all. The centaurs in the Forbidden Forest were all secretive and refused to reveal anything to the wizard.

If it is better at night, the centaur will stare at the night sky and say something about whether a certain star is bright or dim.But other than that, there is nothing more to say.

But on the way that followed, Quirrell found the bodies of many small animals—including foxes, rabbits, and pheasants.

There were no scars on these animals, but they all looked dry and emaciated.

Quirrell suddenly remembered that he had had such a period, just before the Christmas holidays, but now he was cured.

Could this be related to the reason for Baine's vigilance?Is it some kind of spreading disease?
Quirrell held back the weird thoughts in his heart, he didn't want to give up again.

In his vague memory, he had been to the Forbidden Forest many times, but almost every time he returned without success, failing to capture a giant monster.

And for some reason, he felt a little thankful that he didn't meet Professor Haimo again. It seemed that several of his failures were related to Professor Haimo.

Little by little, Quirrell found the place where the trolls lived in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, which was not difficult for him. At least, he had successfully captured the troll once, and now he is guarding the Sorcerer's Stone, but some time ago Was knocked out by himself.

Just when Quirrell was about to start quietly, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from his feet - he immediately turned his head, and saw a snake staring straight at him, and there was a slanting line on the snake's face. scars.

Quirrell was stunned, not only because the scene seemed familiar, but also because he seemed to have seen the scar.

In Quirrell's brief stupor, a dark shadow suddenly sprang out from the snake, like a thick black fog, and rushed into Quirrell's body in the blink of an eye.

"Shut up"

"If you don't want to die, don't shout."

Quirrell heard a sharp voice in horror, and the fear in his heart was aroused a little bit, so scared that he dared not move.

He remembered the tone—it was Romania's mysterious vampire!The other party still found himself!
Voldemort continued to bewitch: "Your life is in my hands. Don't try to ask for help. I will take your life before that."

"You-what are you going to do?" Quirrell asked frightened.

"Serve me." Quirrell heard a shrill voice say, "This is your only destiny."

Aware of Toby Highmore's reappearance, Voldemort had been prepared.

He asked Quirrell to brew some special ancient potions before school started, and let Quirrell take these potions-this not only hid the face and scars behind Quirrell's head, but also allowed Voldemort to temporarily control Quirrell The body consumes only the vitality of Quirrell itself, which is why Quirrell became thinner some time ago.

For this reason, Voldemort cast the Forgetting Curse on Quirrell twice to modify his memory.

The first time was when I got a Christmas present.

At that time, Voldemort had realized that Quirrell was showing signs of giving up on himself, and he tried to gain the respect of students and professors through those stupid and pretentious means.

As a result, Quirrell's memory was modified to make him temporarily forget all this, and he secretly went to Hogsmeade Village according to Toby's movements, taking the opportunity to defeat Mundungus who happened to meet.

But after that, Quirrell was not allowed to cast the Imperius Curse on Mundungus because he didn't know the spell, and Voldemort also needed the ability to retain the remaining potions.

So the person who actually appeared in the Pig's Head Bar was actually Quirrell, and Mundungus was placed in the alley after being defeated, and at the same time took another deadly poison.After Quirrell left the bar, he quickly changed the clothes of the two of them, inadvertently avoided the tracking of Bone Age, and then returned to the Forbidden Forest - Voldemort also cast the second Oblivion Curse on Quirrell at this time, This is also the most thorough one.

Voldemort kept the seed of vampire fear in Quirrell's mind, so that he could use Quirrell again, and also kept Quirrell's desire to gain attention by defeating the troll, so that he could have a chance to return to the Forbidden Forest.

But Voldemort himself chose to escape and possessed himself on the small animals in the Forbidden Forest, causing the corpses that Quirrell saw on his way.

This time, instead of coercion and temptation, Voldemort imposed pure fear on Quirrell.

That's what he's good at - spreading fear, exploiting fear, and being fear.

The whole plan is inseparable from Voldemort's understanding of Toby-of course he knows Toby, understands Toby's ideas about ancient magic, understands what kind of person Toby is, and even personally tried to catch him, let Toby than work for yourself.

But Toby escaped Voldemort's pursuit.

But this time. This time!
Quirrell stood up tremblingly, he had been completely bewitched by Voldemort's lies after modifying his memory, and he couldn't bear the thought of resistance.

He couldn't see it either, there was another layer of scarred face vaguely appearing on his face, hideous and terrifying, like a poisonous snake.

He walked back to Hogwarts with difficulty.

With false fears.

and the real Voldemort.
