Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Quirrell's office was just behind the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. When Andre ran here, Ron and Percy had just arrived.

Before they could go in, they started arguing at the door. Andre could hear Percy scolding Ron about what bad things he had done to cause their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to call him into the office at the weekend. .

Seeing Ron's face flushed with anger, Andre breathed a sigh of relief. Things hadn't gotten to the worst yet.

"Ron!" He hurried forward, ready to take Ron back to the Gryffindor common room no matter what.

"Andre?" Percy turned around first when he heard the voice. He looked at the uninvited first-year student and frowned with dissatisfaction: "What are you doing here?"

"Professor McGonagall had something to do with Ron, so she asked me to come here specially." Andre lied without hesitation.

But this sentence clearly offended Percy again. He glared at Ron fiercely and said angrily: "First Professor Quirrell, and then Professor McGonagall, what on earth did you do? Have you ever thought about what would happen if If you are like George and the others, will your mother be more angry?"

Ron immediately shouted loudly: "I didn't do anything, I don't know why the professors are looking for me! If you want to shake your prefect's dignity, just get angry at George and the others, just because of me He is the youngest brother, so you only dare to teach me a lesson, right?"

Andre had no idea that his words would cause the two brothers to start a big argument regardless of the presence of outsiders.

But before he could stop him, Quirrell's voice came from the office: "Are they... Mr. Weasleys?"

Percy, who has always been a top student, woke up and realized that this was the door to the teacher's office. He immediately gave up scolding his brother and responded respectfully: "It's us, Professor Quirrell."

Having lost his opponent, Ron could only look at his brother angrily.

Andre sighed and pulled Ron away before Quirrell noticed them. The next step was a bit difficult.

"Come in...come in, children...children." It's hard for this guy to deliberately pretend to be stammering now.

But just walking into Quirrell's office was obviously not what Andre wanted. He grabbed Ron's arm and shouted to the door: "Professor Quirrell, Professor McGonagall just wanted to see Ron for something urgent." , we have to go to her place first and come back to you later."

"Oh, that's it." Quirrell walked out of the office door at the right time, with a half-smile expression on his face, which was completely different from his usual image.

Andre said calmly: "Of course, I don't know what Professor Quirrell has to do with Ron? But I think the matter of the Vice Principal of Hogwarts is more important after all."

"Haha." Quirrell was not angry at Andre's disrespect. He just turned his head and looked at Ron, or the mouse that was in Ron's jacket pocket.

This made Andre even more uneasy. He organized his words before continuing: "I heard that Professor Quirrell specifically asked Ron to bring his mouse. Is there any deeper meaning?"

"This has nothing to do with Mr. Ivanov, does it?" Quirrell stopped stuttering when he spoke now. I don't know if he felt there was no need to pretend anymore or for some reason.

"In fact, Professor McGonagall was looking for Ron because of this mouse." Anyway, Quirrell and Voldemort in front of them already knew for sure that Scabbers was Peter Pettigrew, and Andre was not prepared to hide it anymore. Simply focus on this mouse.

This sentence made Quirrell narrow his eyes, and he suddenly approached Ron, but Andre reacted faster and pulled Ron behind him.

"This is Hogwarts, Professor Quirrell. You don't understand the meaning of this word, do you?" After saying this with a threatening tone, Andre's right hand had already reached into his robe and held it. magic wand.

"How could you talk to the professor like that! Ivanov!" No one expected that it was not Quirrell who scolded Andrei first, but Percy, who was supposed to be on their side.

"This is my freedom, Mr. Prefect. If you think my behavior violates school rules, then you can deduct points." Andre did not get used to the interest of the Gryffindor prefect. He said coldly He responded coldly, and continued to stare at Quirrell, who was watching their joke, so as to guard against the other party's sudden attack.

"You!" Percy was obviously irritated. Ever since he became a prefect, he has had a very high opinion of himself. Except for other prefects and the presidents of the male and female student unions, he didn't look down on anyone, but the first-year student in front of him actually dared to contradict him. His words made Percy furious.

But before he could continue to vent his anger, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind.

"Andre!" The little witch's cry made Andre relax a little. He looked sideways and sure enough, Professor McGonagall was walking quickly with a serious face.

Everyone stopped arguing and watched the deputy principal of Hogwarts and the head of Gryffindor step forward.

She first nodded to Andre, indicating that she already knew the cause of the matter, and then said to Quirrell: "I already know something about Mr. Weasley's rat. I don't know if Professor Quirrell is looking for him." Is it also because of this?"

Quirrell returned to his previous image at this moment, and he stammered: "Yes... yes, I... I accidentally learned that Peter Pettigrew... to protect Wes The Rai family became mice. Although his... intentions are indeed worthy of praise, but... I think it is... not what it used to be. There is no need to sacrifice a wizard's own life. To do this, so I specifically asked Mr. Weasley to bring... Peter and prepare to talk to... him."

Andre couldn't believe what he said. He dared to confuse right and wrong like this.

Ron and Percy were all speechless at this moment. They never thought that everything that happened today was for Scabbers. According to Quirrell, Scabbers turned out to be a wizard.

"Really?" Professor McGonagall said doubtfully: "But I never knew what kind of protection the Weasley family needed. The mysterious man failed 11 years ago, and all the Death Eaters were imprisoned in Azkaban. .”

Quirrell immediately shook his head and said with difficulty: "No... no, little... Sirius Black, he... his brother Ray... Regulus... too... A Death Eater who hasn't been...caught yet."
