Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

Chapter 43 What to think when talking

By the end of October, Hagrid came to the castle more often, mysteriously, and still wouldn't say anything even after asking. DeWitt guessed that there must be a common secret behind this.

But no matter how strange Hagrid is, he is always limited by his honest and honest image, so that people will not be wary of him.In any case, there are many weirdos in this magic school, and Hagrid is just an ordinary one among the weirdos. He is not as gloomy as Professor Snape in the Potions class, while Professor Quirrell, who is in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, looks like a A comedian between Snape and Hagrid, but in addition to being ugly, he also has two contradictory qualities - this man's silence seems to be shrouded in a bloody haze, and when someone talks to him, he He became a low-profile version of Hagrid again, unable to even understand the person he was speaking to.

The most ridiculous thing is the scarf that Professor Quirrell has wrapped around his whole head.It has been nearly two months since school started, and I may have never changed it, but now I can no longer see the original color.The classes he attended were also extremely boring. After stammering through each chapter, he would arrive at the end of class, and then he would sigh with joy and melancholy, as if he had been freed from a heavy burden. Announce "get out of class is over".

"Wait...wait!" Another long and boring Defense Against the Dark Arts class was over. This time, after announcing the end of the class, Professor Quirrell suddenly shouted like he was waking up from a nightmare, attracting the attention of the whole class. , he was embarrassed by the eyes focused on him, and he stammered for a long time before saying: "Mr. Wald... please... please stay for a moment."

In the eyes of other students, DeWitt was an insignificant role. Others continued to do what they should do. At most, Hermione at the same table asked: "When did you communicate with Professor Quirrell? Did you make a mistake again?" Caught? Points deducted?"

He himself was surprised: "We have never spoken. You know I don't like him - even if I meet him, I have never said hello to him."

"Do you want me to wait for you?"

"You go to the auditorium first." DeWitt glanced at Professor Quirrell and found that the other person was stretching his neck forward, hooking his chin and rolling his eyes forward to look at himself. When his eyes met, he smiled in a flattering way. Is this really what a professor should be like?DeWitt didn't want to waste Hermione's time any longer, he said, "I don't know how long it will take this person to find me."

After packing up his textbooks, he crossed three rows of tables and came to Professor Quirrell. DeWitt refused to get any closer, because at this distance, as long as he got closer, Professor Quirrell's whole body would be exuded by the rotten garlic smell. He rushed towards me with hot breath, which was unbearable.

"Professor," DeWitt said with a polite smile, "do you have anything to do with me?"

Because Professor Quirrell was standing on the podium, no students wanted to sit in the front row, and no students wanted to walk through the front door after class. Now there was no one else within a five-meter radius of Professor Quirrell—except DeWitt.

"Your..." Professor Quirrell swallowed and almost choked on his own saliva as he said, "How is your... course... studying? I mean... can you understand... everything?" "

"Very good." DeWitt looked up at Professor Quirrell with pure eyes. He said immediately without hesitation: "Professor, your lecture is very good. I think it is precisely because you speak so vividly, otherwise How could I not have any questions? I understood them all."

Professor Quirrell was quite embarrassed. There were spots of unhealthy flushing spots on his pale face. He replied in panic: "Really...ah, yes, that's great. Then, you are willing to learn from me." Something deeper?”

"You mean..." DeWitt looked Professor Quirrell up and down, and he felt that it was unreliable. However, after all, Professor Quirrell was a talent selected by Hogwarts. He must have some merits worth learning - —What secret magic is it?Or a rare formula?DeWitt admitted that he was a little moved, but he never lost his guard - when faced with special treatment, everyone has to think about it, why themselves?Do you have any obvious advantages over others?

"It's...magic." Professor Quirrell opened his arms, raised his palms upwards, lowered his upper body, and mumbled, smiling strangely and widening his eyes, trying to infect DeWitt with his fanatical emotions: "Look everywhere Magic that can’t even be found in the Hogwarts library..."

DeWitt leaned back and said with a smile: "Professor, my abilities are limited and my grades are not very good..."

"No!" Professor Quirrell said firmly: "You are different! I knew it the first time I saw you..."

What is different?Are you from another world?What do you mean you can tell at a glance?Were they the things he did in Knockturn Alley to protect himself?DeWitt prepared for the worst, thinking about what angle to penetrate Professor Quirrell's heart and throat, how to escape from Hogwarts, and how to avoid being hunted by the wizarding world in the future... ...This will be a long and trusting journey. DeWitt became uneasy and he was unwilling to accept this result.

In fact, Professor Quirrell only heard about DeWitt's confinement in the Forbidden Forest and took a fancy to the close relationship between DeWitt and Hagrid. And DeWitt is an inconspicuous child. If used properly, he can control DeWitt. Witt can bring some information convenience and the know-how of finding certain levels.

"You have talent!" Professor Quirrell deliberately protracted his tone to leave suspense, but gave a word that left DeWitt confused: "Mr. Wald, I can tell from the fact that you don't have the same surname as your parents. You have a different view of your origins, and then think about your situation - from the beginning to now, how have your classmates treated you?"

He actually thought he had been seen through?How dare he think that his idea must be right?DeWitt found it ridiculous, and then found it irritating. All kinds of cats and dogs dared to make random assumptions with shallow and inertial thinking.Although DeWitt can recognize and accept his own ordinaryness, he retains his arrogance. Deep down in his heart, he is arrogant. He believes that personal dignity, temperament, and principles are what distinguishes him from others. The only thing, if even these things are understood by others, then this person will be completely controlled by others. People who are controlled are extremely pathetic - Professor Quirrell just wants to control DeWitt, and DeWitt clearly understands I can see it, but what's the purpose?DeWitt didn't know it, but he wanted to take advantage of Professor Quirrell.

"I don't care!" So DeWitt said every word, with a disguised, resentful and suppressed tone that no one could understand.In Professor Quirrell's opinion, this repression was a harsh words that contained resentment, which contradicted Professor Quirrell's guess, causing Professor Quirrell to mistakenly believe that he had resonated with his words and could immediately tame DeWitt.

"Smart people will inevitably encounter isolation," Professor Quirrell said more and more smoothly. He stopped stuttering and began to speak generously: "This was the case when I was studying at Hogwarts - they flattered me, But I know they are all idiots who want to take advantage of me. Maybe you will say that this is different from your situation, but I want to tell you - the same! You also regard them as idiots in your heart - we are the same in this regard... "

If DeWitt had believed Professor Quirrell at first, not only would he not notice Professor Quirrell's abnormality now, but he would have followed the other person's train of thought and found common ground between them. Under the resonance of the same traits, DeWitt He would inevitably do some irrational things, but he noticed something was wrong from the beginning - if he wanted to find an outstanding student to learn Professor Quirrell's own magic, then why didn't he find Hermione?He does not deny other parts, but while he insists on his uniqueness, he also understands most of his conformity traits. DeWitt does not feel aloof because of his specialness. He understands and accepts his ordinaryness.

It is said without shame that DeWitt is indeed good enough, but his excellence pales in comparison to Hermione.Of course, he also noticed that Professor Quirrell looked completely different from usual, as if he was a different person - perhaps he could make a bold guess...

In short, DeWitt was very sure that Professor Quirrell had other purposes for him, and his idea was very simple, that is, to obey first and then profit from it.
