Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

The morning after Halloween.

Compared with the series of soft-shell crab dishes that suddenly appeared on the dining table, the students' attention was more focused on Professor Quirrell who did not appear at the faculty table. After all, crab meat is very important to the British little wizard. , not uncommon.

For a whole weekend, everyone was talking about what happened on Halloween.

Although the bloodstains in the auditorium have been cleaned up, people still can't forget that horrific scene. Everyone is curious about what happened to Professor Quirinazilo in the Forbidden Forest, so that this person who specializes in black The official Defense Against Magic teacher almost died.

However, people's attention was soon attracted by another thing.

Professor Dumbledore announced at breakfast on Monday that since Professor Quirrell needs to be hospitalized for treatment, during this period, Mr. Otto Apocalypse, who once taught History of Magic, will temporarily serve as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Although strictly speaking, age cannot completely equate to strength and experience.

But in the magical world, especially in a place like Hogwarts, except for staff members like Filch, in most cases, the older the wizards are, the more respected and feared they are.

Of course, the premise is that he is alive, has clear speech, and does not suffer from diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

Especially after the past few weeks of substitute teaching on the History of Magic, the students at Hogwarts no longer had any doubts about the old wizard's erudition. After all, not every wizard can be familiar with the history of modern magic and tell it well. Even more exciting and detailed than most novels.

Even after Professor Binns returned to teaching, many students even secretly asked their deans if they could let Professor Binns rest for a while, but of course they were flatly rejected.

You know, time is like a butcher's knife.

Decades have passed, and the former Dark Lord has long become an old potato who just wants to live in peace, similar to teaching. If it were not for Elena's aftermath and Dumbledore's request, he would definitely Wouldn't agree.

"Today's classes are pretty good. In the morning it's Professor Snape's Potions class."

Hannah glanced at the class schedule and poked the back of Elena's hand with her finger, "In the afternoon, you will have your best herbal class, and you will be able to take it with Hermione and Luna. In the evening, Professor Binns' History of Magic."

"Well, it's not bad, right?"

Elena lowered her head, cutting the fried pork chop absentmindedly, and answered casually.

"Elena, are you still angry?"

Looking at the white-haired dumpling who was obviously distracted, Hannah said cautiously.

"But, when you have solitary confinement on weekends, the professors won't let me enter the classroom, and there's nothing I can do about it. Don't be angry, okay? I swear, next time on Friday, I will never turn off the alarm clock on my bedside. "

"Eh"

Elena came back to her senses slightly, looked at Little Tie Niu, and shook her head.

"Well, I don't blame you for the weekend confinement. I was just thinking about something else."

Compared to the students who were looking forward to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Elena didn't feel any joy after hearing Dumbledore's announcement. Instead, the first thing that flashed through her was a trace of inexplicable worry.

There is no doubt that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a cursed position in the Harry Potter series.

First-year Quirinathiro died in the last level of the Philosopher's Stone.

In his second year, Gilderoy Lockhart lost his memory and could only live in the hospital for the rest of his life.

Remus Lupine, who was in the third grade, was first exposed as a werewolf, experienced social death, finally found his partner, and finally both died in the final battle at Hogwarts.

The fourth grade Mad-Eye Moody, or Barty Crouch Jr., neither of them survived in the end.Barty Crouch Jr., who was mainly responsible for teaching, didn't even have the dregs of his soul left.

In fifth grade, Umbridge was first thrown to Grawp and the Centaur tribe, causing her to become half insane. At the end, she was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban.

Professor Severus Snape in his sixth year, alas.

Strictly speaking, this position seems to be on a list set up by the goddess of misfortune. However, every professor who has served on this course seems to encounter something unfortunate in the end, and it is lucky to be able to save his life.

If it is true that this position was cursed by Voldemort, as in the legend, then Elena would be a little relieved. After all, with Grindelwald's strength, it is impossible for the young Tom Riddle to curse the old man. Demon King.

But based on what Elena knows so far, neither Dumbledore nor Grindelwald believes that there is any weird magical curse in this position, so it is very likely that this involves the so-called will of the world.

After so many months of getting along, although Old Carrot and Old Potato would occasionally trick her, overall Elena could feel that these two old people cared about her, especially since Grindelwald had experienced Nurmengard Castle. After the accident, he almost regarded Elena as his biological granddaughter.

Under such circumstances, Elena naturally had to find a way to prevent Grindelwald from encountering an accident.

Elena raised her head and glanced at Grindelwald. The old man's face was also full of melancholy, and there was no joy at all in becoming a professor.

Obviously, for Grindelwald, this job is not so willing.

"We must find a way to make Professor Dumbledore realize that Old Potato is not suitable to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

The considerate little cotton-padded jacket silently made up his mind. Whether it was metaphysics or the will of the world, Grindelwald could not be allowed to completely teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for a whole school year. This was not causing trouble, but saving people.

After all, based on future experience, all professors who teach a full academic year will eventually die.The few wizards who survived in the end were all those who had not filled up the progress bar of their teaching career.

"Hannah, please tell me what day of the week Defense Against the Dark Arts is."

"It won't be available until Wednesday. Elena, you are also looking forward to Mr. Otto's class, right?"

"Of course Wednesday, I'm looking forward to it."

Elena nodded thoughtfully and met Grindelwald's gaze.

Don't worry, Old Potato, I will save you this time.

The cute little mixed-race Veela looked at the melancholy old man not far away and smiled sweetly.

The tacit understanding between the devils does not need to be communicated in words. Even if Dumbledore forcefully locked up the man and forced Grindelwald to take over the mess of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Elena could still find a way to help the old man get out of it.

Just think of it as a return gift for the healing magic text and the three-headed dog braised food.

I wonder why that little girl looks at me and smiles from time to time

If you think about it carefully, I haven't stopped since this morning.

""

Grindelwald glanced at the white-haired dumpling sitting far away from the long table, and subconsciously trembled all over.

And looking at that smile, it's probably up to something bad.

Alas, it was obviously Albus's fault, so why should I help with the aftermath?

The key is

Gellert Grindelwald sighed silently and looked at the plate in front of him with melancholy.

Boiled meat, boiled potatoes, plain baked potatoes, boiled cabbage, and a small dish of coarse salt as dipping sauce

It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, he will only be able to eat this kind of healthy old-age meal.

Why were you so cruel before?

It would be nice to be scared a little bit

eo｀Alas

Quirinus Voldemort Quirrell missed him on the first day he left.

The third day of the double-opening of Gu and Acridine
