Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God - Chapter 118
After waking up, Ye Ting got up from the bed in a daze, still yawning.
Last night, he was dragged by Dumbledore to chat all night, and the content was all-encompassing.
Ye Ting repeatedly hinted that he was sleepy, but the old headmaster pretended not to understand as if his ears were stuffed with cotton.
If he hadn’t known that he was a real man, Ye Ting would have almost thought that Dumbledore wanted to take advantage of him… No, thinking of this, Ye Ting became even more panicked. After finally making it until eleven o’clock in the evening, he went to the school infirmary to visit Hagrid and Twilight Sparkle.
After sending Twilight Sparkle, who didn’t want to stay in the castle, back to the Forbidden Forest, Ye Ting dragged his tired body back to the dormitory.
After finally dragging his heavy steps to the auditorium, he was”besieged” by the little wizards again. A group of little wizards surrounded him, all wanting to dig out the gossip from last night from him.
At this moment, a strange voice came from Slytherin College.
Ye Ting turned his head and saw that it was Malfoy, holding a letter in his hand, showing off to the people around him proudly.
“You know what? I heard that Headmaster Dumbledore won’t be staying in this school for long.”
Malfoy smiled proudly,”I wrote home yesterday. My father almost fainted when he heard that there was a dragon hidden in Hogwarts. He immediately contacted the Minister of Magic. I heard that the investigation officer will arrive tomorrow!”
“Malfoy!”
Ye Ting was not anxious yet, but Harry in Gryffindor was anxious first. He slammed the table and stood up, staring at Malfoy with angry eyes, wishing he could rush forward and punch him.
Malfoy also noticed Harry, and he raised the corner of his mouth with a mocking smile:”Isn’t this our great hero Potter? When Dumbledore leaves, who can still protect you?”
“Tsk tsk, Malfoy, I didn’t know your father was such a coward. He was scared to death just by hearing that there was a dragon in Hogwarts.”Ye Ting laughed contemptuously.
“I F……”
Malfoy’s face instantly turned the color of liver, and he was so angry that he almost blurted out”F”He started with a curse word.
But when he saw that it was Ye Ting who was provoking him, he held back the words.
“My father is just worried about me, he is not as scared as 640!” Malfoy said with a stiff upper lip, then walked away in dismay.
Seeing Malfoy leave, Harry and Ron immediately ran to find Ye Ting
“”Ye Ting, you are amazing. You scared Malfoy away with just a few words!” Ron said with envy,”If I had your ability, I would scare him to death.” Harry seemed anxious and asked anxiously,”What should we do now? The people from the Ministry of Magic will be here soon, what about Mavica?”
He lowered his voice, for fear of attracting unnecessary attention in the hall.
On Ye Ting’s side, Zhang Qiu was also anxious. She blurted out,”Why don’t we hide Mavica secretly.”
Hermione frowned and shook her head,”But Mavica is so big, where can she find a suitable place to hide?”
Ron suddenly had an idea,”We can sink her to the bottom of the lake!”
He became more and more excited as he spoke,”We can put a bamboo tube in her mouth so that she can breathe and won’t drown.”
Ye Ting glanced at Ron with a strange look.
Ron, you are such a clever little ghost!
Not to mention whether Mavica can swim, even if she can, with such a huge body, how can she breathe with just a thin bamboo tube?
In fact, Ye Ting was more curious about the Ministry of Magic.
Those Aurors always come late to clean up the mess after things are over. How come they are so fast this time?
When did the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic become so high?
Ye Ting strongly suspected that Malfoy was just bluffing. After all, something happened in Hogwarts yesterday. The Ministry of Magic probably came to investigate the case in the Forbidden Forest. The fire dragon was just a waste of time.
However, no matter how tense the situation is, the problems of the Ministry of Magic are still like a sword hanging over their heads, waiting to be solved urgently.
So Ye Ting comforted,”Don’t worry, Mavica is fine. Hagrid happened to be in the hospital and no one takes care of her. I asked Twilight Sparkle to take her back to the Forbidden Forest. Twilight Sparkle will take care of her.”
Hearing Ye Ting say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After breakfast, Ye Ting and everyone went together to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Although Professor Quirrell, who was teaching the class, suddenly disappeared, the course was not cancelled because of this. Obviously, other professors were ready to take over temporarily.
In this class, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor took it together.
As soon as they sat down in the classroom, the door of the classroom opened again, and a figure in a black robe, with oily hair and a hooked nose walked in.
When Snape walked into the classroom, the hearts of many young wizards sank, thinking that this class might be dangerous.
Especially those little lions, each of them had a bitter face, as if they had foreseen the suffering that was about to come.
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, Snape still strode up to the podium.
He put down the textbook in his hand, and his sharp eyes swept around the classroom, and finally stopped briefly on Ye Ting.
Then, he suddenly spoke, his voice cold and serious:
“Your Professor Quirrell is now considered by the Ministry of Magic as the prime suspect for attempting to kill unicorns and attacking gamekeepers, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. Therefore, from now on until the holiday, I will temporarily take over the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes for grades one to three!”
This news was like a heavy bomb, instantly setting off a heated discussion in the classroom.
“What? The murderer is Professor Quirrell? How is this possible!”
“He has always been a cowardly good guy, how could he be a dark wizard!”
“Yes, he is so timid that he fainted at the Halloween party. How could he do such a thing!”
The children could not accept this sudden change. In their minds, Professor Quirrell has always been that timid guy who was bullied.
And he is a dark wizard?
To put it bluntly, is he worthy?
Snape looked at them coldly and said mercilessly:”So, the lesson I want to teach you is, don’t be fooled by the appearance of things. Many evil dark wizards are good at weaving lies. You’d better be more careful… You know, Quirrell may still be hiding in Hogwarts.” His words frightened the children, and many of them turned pale.
Because they used to think that Quirrell was easy to bully, and in order to get the bounty for taking off Quirrell’s turban, they played a lot of pranks on him.
Now, they are very worried that Quirrell will come back to retaliate against them.
Seamus is a typical example.
“If this is true, I will never leave the castle again.” He announced to his companions in a low voice,”As long as we are in the castle, Headmaster Dumbledore will protect us, right?”
“Who knows?”
Ye Ting was sitting in the front, and after hearing his words, he said with a malicious tone,”Before, Dumbledore went to the Forbidden Forest in person, but he failed to catch him. Now who can guarantee that he won’t sneak into the castle without Dumbledore’s knowledge?”
“This… this shouldn’t be possible.” Seamus was frightened by Ye Ting’s words.
He looked around nervously, as if he was afraid that Professor Quirrell would suddenly jump out from a corner.
“……No, I was wrong, Professor Quirrell…please don’t come over here!” Seamus’ voice was filled with tears.
Seeing that Seamus was frightened like a chick by him, Ye Ting didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He was a”genius in explosions”, so why couldn’t he be frightened?
He couldn’t help but comfort him,”Don’t worry (biad), Seamus, Professor Quirrell wouldn’t dare to come in in public.”
But Seamus didn’t believe him at all,”But…but, Professor Quirrell is here……”
Finally, the string of fear in his heart completely broke, and he couldn’t help but scream:”Don’t come over here!”
The scream was so harsh that it attracted everyone’s attention at once.
Everyone turned their heads to look over, wanting to see what happened.
Then, everyone was stunned. There was a transparent figure in the classroom.
For a moment, the whole classroom was silent, and even Ye Ting widened his eyes and looked at the ghost in shock.
Professor Snape on the podium had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Because what they saw was Quirrell’s ghost. (To read the violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
In his previous life, Ye Ting had seen a recruitment advertisement:
Russia recruits summer workers, part-time is also OK, monthly salary of 20,000, signing fee of 23,000, and immediate settlement upon signing!
It was said lightly, as if we usually play FPS chicken games, and also provide various guns and rocket launchers! They all drive luxury off-road trucks, and they are all equipped with bulletproof equipment, and food and accommodation are all included.
Regardless of whether this advertisement is true or not, it at least illustrates one truth: if you want high returns, you have to take high risks.
Just like the crematorium bearers, the salary is also shockingly high.
Why?
Because working in such a place, you might encounter some supernatural events at any time, and you might even become a colleague of the ghost messenger…
Then again, what about the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in Gotz?
Not much money, a lot of things to do, a lot of pressure, and an unreliable boss to deal with.……
……Wait, these adjectives seem to apply to most jobs.
Then add one more sentence: This position has a high mortality rate!
In the past few decades, no professor has been able to work for a full year. There are several who died in accidents, and some have been imprisoned in Azkaban…
Now there seems to be another death case.
Once this matter spread, rumors that the Defense Against the Dark Arts course is cursed began to fly again.[]
At the same time, the idea that Quirrell was the murderer who invaded the Forbidden Forest was quickly thrown out of everyone’s mind.
After all, Dumbledore himself said yesterday that he didn’t catch the intruder at all, let alone kill him.
So, how did Quirrell die?
There are many different opinions, but most people think that the heavy teaching pressure at Hogwarts was the last straw that broke his back.
Think about it, there is only Quirrell, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, in seven grades.
He gets up earlier than Hagrid every day and goes to bed later than Filch. His daytime classes are packed with classes, and he doesn’t even have time to breathe.
In addition, he has to deal with all kinds of pranks from little wizards.
Even if it is an iron body, it will fall apart under such tossing!
Think about Professor Binns, wasn’t he crushed by pressure?
But even in death, he can’t rest in peace, and he has to work hard for Hogwarts.
Not long after, in front of the potion gate in the restricted area on the fourth floor of Hogwarts.
Professor Dumbledore was standing in front of a shocking pool of blood, silent.
He had just confirmed that the blood was left by Quirrell.
Professor Snape’s face was extremely ugly. He stared at the bottle of poison on the table that had been drunk up, and his heart was like a pot of mixed feelings.
He was not sad about Quirrell’s death, but worried about his own fate.
No matter how many injuries Quirrell suffered, the fatal blow must have been the bottle of poison, there is no doubt about that.
“”Am I going to be imprisoned in Azkaban again?” Snape thought to himself. What made him most frustrated was that he had deliberately diluted the poison, so it should not be fatal!
“Could it be that Quirrell’s injuries were too severe and his constitution was too weak that he couldn’t even withstand this little bit of poison?”
He felt a little regretful,”I shouldn’t have listened to Dumbledore earlier. Why use real poison? Wouldn’t it be better to just put some Sichuan loquat juice to pretend to be poison?”
“Don’t worry, Severus.” Dumbledore pointed to the ground calmly,”Look at this blood stain.” Snape frowned slightly and walked forward curiously to search carefully. Sure enough, he found the secret hidden in the bloodstain – it seemed to be part of a special pattern.
“This pattern…it seems that some parts have been accidentally erased, no wonder I didn’t see it just now.” Snape muttered to himself,”What is this pattern?……”
“This is a sophisticated and evil black magic ritual pattern.”
Dumbledore slowly revealed the truth,” Its function is to take over the body of another wizard with the wizard’s willingness. Of course, this kind of forcibly taken body is not a perfect fit and will seriously weaken the wizard’s ability to cast spells.”
Hearing Dumbledore’s knowledge of black magic that he had never heard of, Snape secretly curled his lips.
This Dumbledore, who was so great in front of the little wizard, seemed to have never touched black magic, but was actually more proficient than himself.
Who is the master of black magic! Just as Snape was daydreaming, suddenly, he realized the hidden meaning of what Dumbledore had just said.
“what do you mean……”Snape couldn’t help but shudder slightly.”Someone took Quirrell’s body? Who was that person?”
“You know what’s going on, don’t you, Severus?” Dumbledore’s eyes were still fixed on the pool of blood.
