The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 140 Quirrell and Harry

In fact, Quirrell didn't have to hide from others. Seeing him like this, the remaining two or three guests in the bar were walking around him.Those who knew he was a professor at Hogwarts, but those who didn't know thought he escaped from some mental hospital.

Looking at Quirrell who seemed to be persecuted and delusional, Ada asked again patiently. She asked, "Professor, I am a student of Hogwarts. What's wrong with you? Have you encountered any danger?" ?”

Quirinus Quirrell seemed to have finally regained his sanity. He stumbled and said, "I... I'm fine, I just... I just remembered something scary."

His voice was a little slurred, and his gaze was avoiding others. He kept trembling while speaking, and made the sound of teeth colliding with each other.Ada was afraid that if he continued to shake like this, he would bite her own tongue.

Ada walked back to the bar, poured a large glass of brandy, and put it on the table before Quirrell.As for why it is brandy instead of whiskey or other alcohol, it is because the price of brandy is low.

Quirrell stepped forward cautiously, staring at the wine glass for a long time before he dared to take a sip.Seeing that nothing happened after he finished drinking, Quirrell raised his glass and poured it into his mouth, almost like drinking a donkey.

After drinking a large glass of brandy, Quirrell's pale face turned a blush, the wine was strong and timid, and he was not as scared as before.But he still keeps an eye on everyone in the room, as if to prevent them from suddenly turning into vampires or werewolves.

Other people's little stutter is so beautiful and has a good figure, but Hogwarts' little stutter is nothing like others except for stuttering. He is a cowardly, cowardly ugly man.

Old Tom came over and asked Ada softly: "What's the matter, his appearance is affecting our business!"

Ada shrugged helplessly, and she said: "I can't help it, he saw me as if he saw a scourge. Probably because I was so good-looking, he felt very inferior after seeing it, so he avoided me. "

Old Tom didn't believe Ida's nonsense. He took two steps towards Quirrell. When Quirrell retreated, Old Tom stopped and kept a safe distance from Quirrell.Old Tom said: "Professor Quirrell, do you need me to contact Professor Dumbledore or Minister Fudge? You look terrible."

"No, no need, I have the ability to solve any problem myself! I don't need anyone's help!" Old Tom's words seemed to touch Quirrell's sore feet, and he rejected the proposal sharply, and he said this sentence At the time, there was no stuttering at all.

"Then let me help you upstairs to rest, you look very tired." Old Tom said.

"Okay...okay. I...I do...I do need a break."

Old Tom raised his hands and slowly approached Quirrell, helping him to walk towards the stairs. Old Tom said to Ida: "Little Ada, it's getting late, you should go home first."

Although Ada was a little suspicious of Quirrell's performance, she didn't stay to find out. One more thing is worse than one less thing. There is no Professor McGonagall to support her here, and it won't be too late to talk about it when she returns to school.

It's just that when I went to work the next day, Ida didn't see Quirrell at the Leaky Cauldron. Old Tom said that Quirrell left before dawn, and he seemed to be back to normal, at least not as bad as before.

A very talented adult wizard who is also a professor at Hogwarts, such a person should be excellent, but Quirrell's appearance is far from excellent.

Quirrell is so strange, he is full of fear of everything, and everything around him seems to kill him.Ada wondered if he could teach at Hogwarts through Dumbledore's back door, otherwise why would he be a professor?
The thing that makes Ada angry the most is that he, Quirrell, can remember to settle the money for his own accommodation, so why can't he also settle the money for the brandy?
Especially when Ada got her pay slip on July 31, Ada became even more angry.She was supposed to get forty-two Galleons, but got only forty-one, plus a few poor Sickles, because old Tom counted the brandy money in Ida's wages!
Rotten, diabolical capitalism!Nasty soup skinless and inhuman!
On the 31st, the Leaky Cauldron Bar ushered in the most important guest, but Ada is not in the mood to care about it now, she is still feeling sorry for her "dead" unknown little money.

Quirinus Quirrell reappeared at the Leaky Cauldron as the bar's guests gradually increased.Although only ten days had passed since the last time, Quirrell seemed to be a different person. The fear of everything did not appear on him again, and he was able to say a few words to the people around him.

If it wasn't for his stuttering and timidity when he spoke, Ada would hardly have recognized him.Before Ada could settle accounts with Quirrell, the door of the bar was opened again, and a huge figure appeared in the bar.

Seeing this figure, Ada took out a small bucket from under the bar, and she asked, "Is it still the old rule, Hagrid?" This small bucket was specially prepared for Hagrid, and others used it. The grid is just a big cup.

The broad figure belonged to Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper and key keeper at Hogwarts, and there was no other figure exactly like him in the whole of England.Hagrid said, "No, Ida, I don't need it today, I'm doing work for Hogwarts."

There was a boy hidden in Hagrid's tall figure. Hagrid turned sideways, and Ida saw the boy's appearance clearly. He had messy hair and a pair of emerald green eyes.

"I said we'd meet again," Ada said to the boy, smiling. "Welcome, welcome back, Harry Potter!"

Harry looked at the girl standing at the bar. It was the girl he had seen in the amusement park back then. She was still so beautiful, with long blond hair pulled back, revealing her fair and slender neck.Harry said, "Long time no see..."

"Ada, you actually know Harry?" Hagrid asked, "I've never heard you mention it!"

"It was just a chance encounter." Ada took out a pen and paper and handed it to Harry, "Harry, help me, sign it, just write: Happy birthday to Ginnifera Weasley. Then sign your name Enough."

"Oh, good." Harry nodded blankly, and then began to write blessings and signatures on the parchment under Ada's guidance.At this time, the guests in the bar also became noisy, and they recognized the boy who was writing with his head down!

Chairs crackled, bar patrons stood up and lined up to shake Harry's hand, each expressing their excitement to Harry, especially when Harry remembered Dedalus When Dige was playing, the little old man was so excited that he almost rushed to the roof.

The timid Quirrell also grabbed Harry's hand and stammered with him.From Quirrell's words, Ada also knew that Quirrell would serve as the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the next semester, but the timid person unexpectedly did a courageous thing.

The people in the bar were still talking about Harry Potter, even though he and Hagrid had left.Ada put Quirrell's affairs aside for the time being, because there was a more important thing waiting for her to do.

Sure enough, the very good old Tom had appeared beside Ida, holding a bottle of butter beer in his hand.Ada knocked on the bar, drawing the attention of the guests to herself, and she said loudly: "Welcome back Harry Potter, harry Potter!"

"To Harry Potter!"

There was another crackling sound in the bar, as well as the sound of wine glasses clinking.Harry Potter's name is easy to use, and Ada has already taken wool from him twice.

After all this was done, Ada began to look for Quirrell in the bar, but she couldn't find him, and she didn't know when the professor left, so she had to let go of the bill again.

However, Ada was still thinking about Quirrell. The contrast between the two meetings before and after, and his extreme performance, made Ada have a strong interest in him. What happened to him?
