Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

"You look good, Albus."

"You don't look very well, Gellert."

Objectively speaking, the two Dark Lords in modern times both have good looks—not counting the looks after Voldemort's self-harm.When he was young, Grindelwald was a tall, standard Germanic handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes. He would make any witch who saw him scream and the wizard be ashamed.But Gellert Grindelwald standing in front of him now was an old, haggard and weak old man.

If there's anything in this world that Dumbledore fears, it's going to see him in Nurmengard after his duel with Grindelwald.He didn't want to discover his relationship with Grindelwald, but he was afraid of seeing Grindelwald as a prisoner, just like him now.

"Sit down, here is an authentic German Black Forest cake, filled with the best cherry jam, and your favorite honey tea, we can talk while eating." Grindelwald snapped his fingers, a domesticated The elf jumped out and prepared the tables, chairs and dining table. The tablecloth was a strange white flower on a pink background. There were eye-catching red strawberries on the plate for the cake and the tea set, and two lavender candles were lit in the center of the table.

Although this is Dumbledore's home, he and Grindelwald should also be enemies, but Dumbledore did not object, he sat down happily and took his share of the cake.The cake was delicious, and the honey tea was to his liking, but Dumbledore didn't even have a smile on his face...

Since the savior entered Hogwarts, people in the wizarding world have found that the newspapers in the morning are becoming more and more "colorful". Contributed by the former Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald, a large number of Death Eaters and Dementors escaped?

When I first saw this news, except for those insiders, everyone thought it was an appalling false report made by the tabloids in order to gain fame.But when they saw several other newspapers, people's thinking was shaken.

Although the headline of the "Daily Prophet" had nothing to do with Azkaban, it published news from Germany, and the blood-red characters looked creepy "Gellert Grindelwald's Prison Break".Most other newspapers and periodicals also reported similar reports on Grindelwald, which means that Grindelwald's escape from prison is true.So although no one has reported the news of Azkaban, who can say that this news really does not exist?

Soon, someone spread the inside information. It turned out that the editor-in-chief of "Wizard Daily" was Henry Polis, who had just cleared his grievances a few days ago. He accidentally discovered the truth when he went to Azkaban to visit his inmates— ——Actually, this so-called internal news is quite false. After all, how could Grindelwald's actions allow a reporter who is not proficient in magic combat to discover his actions, and then leave intact?However, for ordinary wizards, such rumors increased the credibility of the news.

For a while, the Ministry of Magic was almost flooded with letters from all over the country, mixed with a lot of shouting letters and hoax letters.Countless wizards even came directly to the Ministry of Magic, demanding to know the truth of the matter.That afternoon, Fudge publicly refuted the rumors, but when reporters and the public requested to visit Azkaban, he forbade the visit on the grounds that Azkaban was an important place for the government.Therefore, Fudge's necessity did not reassure people, but aggravated people's uneasiness.

A more disastrous blow occurred that night when a dementor appeared in a wizarding settlement and attacked the people.Luckily a vacationing Auror was present at the time, and the dementors were repelled, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Fudge, who had always been standing behind Dumbledore, when he thought he was strong enough and stepped onto the stage, what he received was not honor and applause, but a miserable failure.

On the same afternoon, Gellert Grindelwald returned to Nurmengard alone, and the German wizarding community was arguing over whether to continue to detain Grindelwald in Nurmengard or to directly sentence him to death endlessly.But in England, no one cares about it anymore.

After the press conference, the British wizarding world fell into a great panic.Shouting "Fuji step down", people frantically rushed into various stores to buy goods, then opened the defensive circles of their houses, locked themselves in a safe home, and never went out unless necessary.After a short period of abnormal bustle, the street became as dead as a ghost.

If there is any part of the British wizarding world that still remains normal, it is Hogwarts Castle, except for some noble manors.Of course, most of the children also received letters from their families, their parents warning them not to leave the castle, and I don’t know how many parents above the third grade wrote directly to Dumbledore and the deans of the houses, proposing to cancel Hogsmeade. week.Because Hogsmeade, full of joy, must be the most delicious piece of cake to attract dementors.

Dumbledore convened a meeting of all the professors for this matter: "If we let Hogsmeade Week continue normally, then the Ministry of Magic will send Aurors to Hogsmeade to protect all children. If we stop Hogsmeade Zhou, then only one notice is needed."

It was Fudge who took the initiative to discuss with Dumbledore about the matter of stationing Aurors.He hopes that if the public sees children having fun, they can rest assured and resume normal study and work.

At the same time, this is also Fudge's favor to Dumbledore. Obviously, he finally understands that without Dumbledore, he is just an incompetent politician.If it was a peaceful time, such as in the past ten years, he could have sat on the throne of a minister and searched for money and beauties.But now it was no longer peaceful. Although Fudge didn't know why, there had indeed been more and more unlucky things about the Ministry of Magic and about her in recent years.This requires a strong person standing in front of him.

If Fudge had courted Dumbledore earlier, the White Wizard would have happily accepted.But since Fudge's press conference ended and Grindelwald returned to Nurmengard, the old urchin headmaster who was originally sunny and out of tune suddenly became gloomy.It gives everyone the feeling that Dumbledore is indeed old... Although a long, long time ago, everyone knew that this old man was nearly a century and a half old...

All the professors whispered for a while, and then, either explicitly or secretly, the professors focused their eyes on Quirrell—he was not the dean, but a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he had just arrived at Hogwarts Less than three years of teaching!

Dumbledore was also taken aback for a moment, but soon he smiled, a smile of relief, but also a loving smile from the elder to the younger: "Professor Quirrell, what do you think?"

"I was thinking, why not turn Hogsmeade Week into Hogwarts Day?"

"Hogwarts Day? Can you explain in detail?"

"of course."

The so-called Hogwarts Day is a combination of the Muggle school's open day, parent visit day and school anniversary day. On this day, parents outside the school can visit with invitations sent by the students, and the students each Every class can have a classroom, and arrange the classrooms into different shops to entertain the parents who come. Of course, there will be a party in the auditorium, and the class is still the unit, and the students can perform on stage.In the end, after the parents have left, there is only a bonfire party for the students.

When Quirrell was in China, he had never seen any school do this, so he was very envious when he saw foreign schools holding such activities in those TV animations.Because this kind of activity can enhance the relationship between the students, it can also exercise the children's hands-on brain and coping ability, and it can also let them know that the work is difficult. It can be said to be a very good activity.But after arriving at Hogwarts, this authentic British school with a long history did not have a similar event. Quirrell had been looking for this opportunity for a long time.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for the school to let a large number of outsiders enter Hogwarts at this special time?"

It was Dumbledore who asked the question, and Quirrell felt a little awkward. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he always asked Dumbledore the question, but this time it was the other way around.

"Some small things can be added to the invitation card to verify the true identity of the cardholder. I believe that the relevant spells are easy for Professor Flitwick. Professors can also strictly distinguish the people who enter the venue. I believe Professor Snape will Prepare us some potions to break Polyjuice Potion. Compared to Hogsmeade Week where students go out and have nothing to do with outsiders, Hogwarts Day comes in with concern for children, And parents and siblings who haven't seen their children for a long time. Clearly, Hogwarts Day is safer."

"It seems that Hogwarts is about to have the second-largest event with bonus points after the Qui-Edge ball game." Dumbledore smiled, obviously he had agreed to Quirrell's proposal, "Announce the good news to the students Bar!"

For first-year freshmen, Hogwarts is indeed a place full of interesting novelties.But Hogwarts is a boarding school, students live here 24 hours a day, and spend much more time here than at home every year.Those with a bad memory may even blur the faces of their family members.How can the students still find this place still novel?So energetic kids can be forgiven in some respects for playing hide-and-seek with their professors at night, or exploring the Forbidden Forest.After all, they were children, not prisoners.

The same is true for Hogsmeade Week. Except for the children who can participate in Hogsmeade Week in the first year, they are full of expectations, and the other seniors actually just regard going to Hogsmeade as a rare release.

When the news of the cancellation of Hogsmeade Week was posted on the notice boards of various colleges, the students immediately became depressed. Although they knew it was only for their safety, were they still studying besides Quidditch in the days to come?

But then there was another notice, asking the students to be silent for a few seconds, and then cheered!For them, Hogwarts Day is more exciting than Hogsmeade Week!
