Chapter 452 Quirrell’s Little Trouble
"No, Madam Pomfrey. I'm really fine. You said I'm pale? No, I'm just a little sleep deprived."
After Quirrell drank the antidiarrheal potion that Madam Pomfrey handed him, he casually found a reason to postpone the other party's proposal to give him a full body examination.
Quirrell is still possessed by Voldemort, how could he dare to let the head nurse in front of him perform a full body examination on him?
“You should listen to your therapist, I can tell you’re not feeling well.”
Madam Pomfrey looked Quirrell up and down, observing his condition. At the same time, she was very dissatisfied with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Anyone who was not blind could tell that Quirrell was sick from his pale face. What's more, Madam Pomfrey, who is a healer herself, can naturally tell at a glance that Quirrell is in poor health.
"That's really not necessary." When Professor Quirrell turned to leave, he noticed the stern look from Madam Pomfrey and realized that the head nurse was about to stop him for a full body check. Quirrell could only pretend to compromise, "Okay, but I still insist that I just haven't had enough sleep recently."
"Sit there and wait for a moment." When Madam Pomfrey went to get something, Quirrell's lips trembled slightly. Then, he said: "Madam Pomfrey, the antidiarrheal potion is very effective. I'm leaving first."
"Oh, okay." Madam Pomfrey said confusedly, "If you find yourself feeling unwell, remember to come to me in time."
The head nurse was ultimately unable to give Quirrell a full-body examination as she wished, because Quirrell secretly cast a confusion spell on her, which prevented the head nurse from forcefully leaving the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the school hospital for a full-body check-up.
Quirrell swore that he would never set foot in the school hospital again. He found that Madam Pomfrey was even more difficult than Snape in some matters.
If I hadn’t acted quickly, I don’t know what would have happened.
Quirrell fled away from the school hospital and planned to go back to his office before the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to write and mail the letter to the smuggler.
After obtaining the dragon egg, the next step is to obtain the method of subduing the three-headed dog from Hagrid through the dragon egg.
Quirrell had even made a plan: pretending to be a dragon egg smuggler, getting Hagrid drunk, pretending that he had a dragon egg that he needed to get rid of, and then asking Hagrid before deliberately losing the egg to Hagrid. Did the other party have experience in raising magical creatures? He believed that after drinking, Hagrid would never mind bragging to others about his secret of subduing the three-headed dog. Even if Hagrid didn't tell others, Quirrell still had other ways to lure the other party. come out.
Drunk guys are easily fooled.
On the way back to the office, Quirrell passed three Slytherin first-year students.
"This must be a conspiracy against Slytherin House. Otherwise, except for Slytherin students, how could no one from other houses have symptoms of diarrhea." The voices of Malfoy and his companions involuntarily penetrated Quirrell's ears. in the ears.
“Professor Snape has already started investigating this matter. Everyone suspects that someone from Gryffindor did it. Remember the Kenneth from last time...”
Aimed at Slytherin House?
Quirrell looked at the three people leaving and shook his head. He was not a Slytherin student.
Could it be that someone is really targeting me specifically?
Quirrell actually didn't know that he had guessed it right. Someone was indeed targeting him specifically.
This mission most likely originated from a double-mirror communication between Albert and Nico Flamel the day before yesterday.
Albert still remembers that he complained about Principal Dumbledore not hiding the Sorcerer's Stone properly, but instead placed it in an obvious place in the so-called "restricted area" in the school, which led to the panel task?
Hmm, yes, the content of the task is to protect the magic stone from being stolen by others.
Although Albert felt that this task came a bit out of nowhere, he finally thought about it. According to the development of the plot, Quirrell will be blocked by Harry and unable to grab the Sorcerer's Stone. Then this task must be able to be completed. It just depends on the progress of the efforts. The amount of reward received.
The reward is not bad, but unfortunately the final reward is not the magic stone formula, which makes Albert a little disappointed.
Although the experience and skill points are very good, Albert does not intend to face Voldemort for this purpose. He thinks that he does not have the aura of a protagonist like Harry, so when he saw the task, he had already decided to complete this difficult task. Please give it to Harry.
After all, he has money, friends and a girlfriend, and a happy life. He really has no interest in stealing Harry's role and confronting Voldemort.
Life has just begun, and living is good. There is really no need to take risks. Without the aura of the protagonist, and not strong enough, it is easy to be taken away by Avada Kedavra if you want to grab the scene. Digory in Goblet of Fire That's the best evidence.
However, Albert is not a person who gives up easily. If he is not able to do it clearly, he can do it in secret. There are many ways to protect the magic stone from being stolen.
So, when Albert gave Peeves the basil powder, he asked Peeves to add some to Professor Quirrell's food.
Peeves readily agreed, who made Quirrell look easy to bully?
Then, it directly led to Professor Quirrell's diarrhea incident.
It turns out that weakening the enemy can also effectively protect the magic stone.
Although the task progress has only increased by 2%, it is better than nothing.
Quirrell had no idea that the person responsible for his diarrhea was still trying to figure out how to cause him trouble elsewhere.
Since Quirrell's stomach upset, other people at school have also had diarrhea.
The diarrhea incident really effectively distracted Snape's energy, leaving him with little time to focus on Quirrell.
The blame fell on Peeves in the end. Except for the administrator Mr. Filch who was clamoring to drive Peeves out of Hogwarts Castle, the professors in the school really had nothing to do with Peeves.
It is said that the ghost-blooded Balor has already talked to Peeves and asked Peeves not to add basil powder to his food. But these are just rumors, and no one knows whether they are true or not.
Although there have been no other cases of diarrhea in the school since it was reported that Bloody Barrow went to negotiate with Peeves, everyone is still very careful when eating, for fear that Peeves will mix something strange into the food again. s things.
No one wants to be the next Flint and Montague. The two guys were lying in hospital beds due to diarrhea and have now become an after-dinner joke among the students at Hogwarts.
Fortunately, they had been lying on the hospital bed in the school hospital, so they didn't hear other people laughing and laughing at their misfortune, otherwise they would have vomited blood out of anger.
