Chapter 83 Professor Quirrell's Wealthy Family
At night, Meka Anders came to an office smoothly. Looking at the door with black background and gold letters, which read "Professor Quirinus Quirrell", his wand flashed, and the door opened with a click.
Meka pushed the door open, walked in quietly, and closed it.
In the dark room, only a little light from the window shone in, illuminating a corner of the black desk and a small piece of the floor.
Next to the desk was a hanger with a dark robe hanging on it. To the right, there was a brown wooden cabinet near the wall.
Meka put on a pair of gloves very carefully, turned over the brown wooden cabinet and the black desk, and even the pockets of the robe on the hanger were not spared. Finally, he smiled happily.
Because he did find that Professor Quirrell left some things behind.
First of all, there were some coins in the suitcase hidden in the wooden cabinet, which contained mostly gold galleons, a small part of silver Sickles, and a very small number of copper nars.
Meka counted carefully, and there were 730 gold Galleons alone, almost filling up the suitcase. It was so heavy that he almost dragged it from the cabinet to the ground, and almost dropped the suitcase on the ground with a noise.
He didn't count the rest of the silver Sickles and copper nars, but a quick glance showed that there were at least more than 100 in total.
"It seems that Professor Quirrell has a rich family background. No wonder he has been able to travel and study for many years." Meka sighed.
He took out most of the gold Galleons, leaving only about 20. He didn't take the silver Sickles and copper nars, mixed them all and put them back in the suitcase, and stuffed the suitcase back.
This can confuse people, otherwise if there is only an empty box in Professor Quirrell's cabinet, wouldn't it tell others that there has been a "thief" here?
After that, there was a locked cabinet on the desk, which contained several books on defense against the dark arts. Of course, this was not the point. The point was that under the books on defense against the dark arts, there were several yellowed papers, which actually recorded some very dangerous magic, including dark magic.
"Crucio, Oblivion, Thunderbolt." Meka was surprised.
He took a quick look and found that the contents of these three spells were complete. There was also an incomplete spell written on a separate piece of paper, which was torn in half. This was part of the Killing Curse.
"What a pity." Meka felt a little regretful.
He felt that magic was not black or white, the key was to see who used it, so he was not shy about these dark magics.
In his opinion, after learning dark magic, he would have a deeper understanding of it, and he would be better prepared when he encountered a dark wizard using it, so to be honest, he also wanted to learn the Killing Curse.
Seeing that the Killing Curse was mostly incomplete and could not be learned, he naturally felt regretful.
Meka collected all the yellowed papers, without missing a single one, and put them into the gold-rimmed pocket, slightly staggered with the gold galleons.
Finally, Meka went to check the dark robe, carefully opened the lining, and accidentally touched a dark layer with a light-colored opening inside.
He took out some useless sundries from the light-colored pocket that was also engraved with the space extension spell, including a change of headscarf, robes, some golden sulfur powder, and a white potion with a strong garlic smell.
Meka guessed that this potion was the source of Professor Quirrell's strange smell.
In addition to these things, there was also a silver pocket watch that looked very valuable and had a strange pattern. Meka opened the cover and found that it was stained with blood, and a corner was broken and cracked, adding a sense of story and age.
When he picked up the silver pocket watch, Meka's eyes lit up, because he noticed that the pocket watch triggered the space in his mind, which must have hidden a wizard's last wish.
"Good stuff!" Meka carefully put it away and put the pocket watch in his arms.
He felt that this might be the biggest gain tonight.
Meka did some checks again to prevent any places from being missed. After confirming that everything that should be taken was taken, he quickly put everything in the house back to its original place, opened the door, and carefully put it away.
Then, the purple-eyed bat quietly went away and disappeared into the night.
...
In the next few days, Meka still nurtured two silver-white souls in his body, waiting for the warm current formed by the soul splitting potion to completely dissipate and let the silver-white souls completely take shape.
In the last few days of this semester, the students of Hogwarts also ushered in the final exams. Many people complained because the final exam questions were not simple. Many people fell here and got an unqualified score.
On the contrary, Ron always seemed to cram at the last minute, but this time he actually got an "A" and passed the passing line. On the day he learned the results, he shouted that he would buy four liquorice sticks as a celebration, and give one to each of Maka and the others.
Maka got four "O"s (outstanding) in this test, and the rest were "E"s (exceeded expectations), and ended his first year at the magic school with the best results in the whole grade.
After learning the results, the students had to leave and go home the next day. Hogwarts held a "year-end banquet" for all students that night, which was also a farewell for them.
The year-end banquet was brightly lit and lively.
Professor Dumbledore announced the scores of each college in this school year to award the "College Cup" representing honor. As a result, Slytherin won the first place, while Gryffindor ranked last among the four colleges.
"I knew it." Harry sighed when he learned that the college's score was at the bottom.
The score hole they created this year was too big to make up for, so finishing last was normal.
"Look." Ron was also sighing, but suddenly he saw Malfoy's sneer look, and he became very angry:
"This guy is so disgusting, I hope every Bibi Bean he eats tastes like booger!"
"Shh!" Meka told him to be quiet, because Professor McGonagall glared over, and Professor Dumbledore obviously had something to say.
"Originally, this was the final score of the house, but some things have happened recently. I think we should also take these things into consideration." Professor Dumbledore said.
"What happened recently?" Hermione was startled after hearing this.
She thought about what happened to them under the secret passage recently. Professor McGonagall once said that the punishment for this matter was determined by Professor Dumbledore. Now it would not be about announcing the punishment results and deducting Gryffindor's points. ?
If Gryffindor's points are deducted again, it will embarrass the entire academy, right? she thought uneasily.
But what Professor Dumbledore said next made her smile with relief.
"Everyone has heard about what happened in the underground classroom. Mr. Potter stopped a conspiracy with courage and courage."
Professor Dumbledore paused and smiled: "Therefore, Mr. Potter deserves a 100-point reward."
The students below heard this and looked at each other. Counting these 100 points, Gryffindor House overtook Hufflepuff, who was in third place.
On the Slytherin side, Malfoy also stopped smiling and frowned, feeling uncomfortable with the news.
Professor Dumbledore continued:
"In addition, Miss Granger used her calmness and intelligence to relieve her companions of their difficulties. She should also receive a 50-point reward."
"Mr. Ron Weasley, for showing us the most exciting game on the wizarding chessboard, 50 points will be awarded."
"Finally, it's Mr. Meka Anders." Professor Dumbledore said with narrowed eyes:
"Mr. Meka Anders' composure and alertness helped his companions avoid a disaster. At the same time, he allowed his companions to leave the danger first and stay alone at the end. His kindness and sense of responsibility, It’s worth learning from everyone.”
"So I give him 100 points as well."
Many people in Gryffindor reacted and started cheering, because at this point, Gryffindor's score had surpassed the score and became the first among the four major colleges.
On the Slytherin side, the original laughter and excitement gradually stopped, and on a certain seat, Malfoy's face was as gloomy as water.
When Professor Dumbledore said the last words, his blue eyes looked into Meka's.
Meka was quickly defeated. He always felt that the other party's gaze was searching, as if he wanted to see through his heart and understand what he was hiding in his heart.
…
"It turns out that this pocket watch belongs to a certain dark wizard."
After the banquet, Meka returned to her dormitory and learned about the last wish in her pocket watch from her dream.
In his dream, he saw a dispute and a fight. The owner of the pocket watch, the dark wizard named Paz Uriel, fought with others and died in an alley in Knockturn Alley.
His wish during his lifetime was simple, to kill another dark wizard with whom he had an enemy and complete his revenge.
"What a cruel last wish." Meka sighed.
But he has no burden because the target of revenge is not a good person. He once worked for some alchemists who conducted illegal experiments and sent living people to the experimental platform one by one.
"That's good. When we get to Knockturn Alley, we can just go shopping and choose a suitable 'Horcrux'." Meka thought to herself.
The silver pocket watch seems to have been a product of alchemy. Even if it is damaged now, it is still strong and can be used as a Horcrux after the last wish is completed.
But he felt that since one corner of the pocket watch was broken, it meant it was not strong enough, and he wanted to find a better one.
