Chapter 61 Prelude
Chapter 61 Prelude
This is very bad news, and Joshua's expression was unusually serious.
Among the five people present, only Hermione and Neville didn't know what was going on. They were still happy that a professor had returned, and at the same time, they were glad that they would finally not have to see Snape's old face in classrooms other than Potions class. up.
Quirrell is not dead, and Joshua probably guessed it when Auror and the professor didn't find human corpses in the Forbidden Forest, but he still dared to come back. Could it be that he wasn't worried that he and Harry would inform him.
Or is he still unwilling to give up on the magician, even if he is holding the risk of being exposed, he wants to get it?
"Hermione, go to the library first, I have something to do here." Joshua looked embarrassed, after all, he had agreed to study in the library together.
Hermione rolled her eyes and said with such an attitude as expected, "Sister is right, it is very difficult to control a boy's heart."
Then Hermione walked up the stairs sullenly, shaking her little head.
The few remaining people went to the auditorium on the first floor, and Neville followed out of curiosity.
A few people went down the stairs, and they could see Quirrell talking with Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall at the door of the auditorium.
The familiar big purple turban wrapped around the head and the smell of garlic that can be smelled from far away are enough to prove that Voldemort is back.
He actually came back!
But what Quirrell was talking to Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, Joshua and the others were far away and couldn't hear clearly.
"Is there any way we can eavesdrop on their conversations without being detected?"
To be honest, the first thing Joshua thought of at the moment was the retractable ears invented by the twins, but the current twins have not invented it.
"I have a way!" Ron took out his wand, poked the end of his wand in his ear and whispered, "Make your ears bigger."
In the next second, Ron's ears changed dramatically. His ears were two or three times bigger than before.
"My brother Charlie taught me the spell." Seeing the stunned looks of the others, Ron also knew that his current appearance might not be very strange.
"Actually, there are better spells, but unfortunately I didn't learn them." Ron pouted and said strongly that it was not that he was stupid, but that the spells were really difficult to learn.
"Quickly listen to what they are talking about?" Joshua urged.
"Well, let me listen." Ron tried his best to bring his enlarged ear closer to the entrance of the auditorium.
"Professor Dumbledore is asking why Quirrell hasn't shown up for more than a month," Ron said, "and Quirrell replied that in order to ensure the substance of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, he went elsewhere to get materials."
"A reason to leave your feet!" Harry cursed.
He clearly saw Quirrell in the form of a man in a black robe, hunting and killing unicorns with an unforgivable spell in the Forbidden Forest.
Originally Harry and Joshua had the same idea, Quirrell escaped Hogwarts, but now it seems that he is back.
"Is he the one who really wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry cast a questioning look at Joshua.
And Joshua didn't speak, just nodded.
"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand at all?" Neville stood behind the three of them, coiling the toad in his hand, and at the same time he spoke loudly, which was enough to attract those who were still talking at the entrance of the auditorium. people.
Quirrell obviously heard the movement and saw several people at the same time.
But compared to the submissive Quirrell before, the Quirrell at this time has become more generous and active.
"Oh, Mr. Potter, you can ask me any questions, there is no need to hide and eavesdrop!"
When he said this, Harry, Ron and the others were embarrassed to hide, and they walked out from the corner. Harry's vigilant eyes never let up, even if Professor Dumbledore was present.
Joshua didn't go out, he was still hiding behind the corner. After all, he was confronting Quirrell head-on. Although the Forbidden Forest was dark and deep that night, and he had been following behind his ass, the cautious Qiao Shu Ya himself had better not meet Quirrell.
But it was hard to avoid, after all, he still had to attend classes, especially Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"Harry, it seems that you are also very worried about your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor," Dumbledore laughed as he pinched his gray beard. "Don't worry, Professor Quirrell will return to his post next week."
"Yes, that's right!" Quirrell smiled. Although it was ugly, he seemed to be grinning his mouth very hard.
Although it seemed nothing, but accompanied by the pain of the scar on his forehead, Harry knew that what Joshua said was right, that Quirrell definitely had something to do with the "mysterious man"!
Enduring the pain, Harry bid farewell to Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall, and returned to the Gryffindor common room with several others.
Neville, who didn't understand why, felt that he and Joshua and the others had nothing in common, so he returned to the dormitory.
Joshua, Harry and Ron sat on the sofa in the lounge, discussing things about Quirrell in a low voice.
"Why does he dare to come back, isn't he afraid that we will inform Professor Dumbledore?"
Harry's body was trembling slightly, and he didn't know whether it was anger or fear.
"Is he really a dark wizard?" Ron, who hadn't seen it with his own eyes, expressed his belief in Harry and Joshua, but he was still skeptical.
"Yes Ron, I saw it with my own eyes!" Harry turned to Joshua and said, "We have to tell Professor Dumbledore about this, a dark wizard who may be a Death Eater, and even wants to The thief who stole the Philosopher's Stone, we can't just let him stay in Hogwarts!"
"It's hard for Harry." Joshua stretched out his hands to hold Harry's impulsive body and said, "Since he came back in a hurry, he shouldn't be afraid, and besides, I don't think Dumbledore will go because of the unrealistic remarks of the three students." fired a professor."
Joshua has always been curious about whether Dumbledore knew all of this. In the original book, he always showed omniscience, and he even sacrificed himself to create the growth of Harry, the savior.
But from Tom's notebook to what happened in the Goblet of Fire, it seems that Dumbledore is not omnipotent, and he is more like an old man who can magic.
Joshua believed in the opportunity planned by the old fox Dumbledore, but is it possible that he really didn't know?
Joshua didn't dare to think about it, but hoped that things would not be like this.
"Harry, now we can only investigate by ourselves," Joshua rubbed the sore bridge of his nose, excessive thinking exhausted his energy a lot.
"Joshua, I think no matter what, we are all trying to stop this from happening before the Philosopher's Stone is stolen. Maybe we can get it to Professor Dumbledore, so that we can expose Quirrell's true colors."
Harry was too impulsive, and Joshua was still persuading him, "We shouldn't act rashly until we don't know."
"Are we just going to watch everything happen like this!" Harry yelled, shaking his head out of the lounge angrily, and Ron followed after him.
