Chapter 112 Quirinus Quirrell

Dumbledore nodded and said,

"Of course he discovered something and had to leave Hogwarts to do it, otherwise he wouldn't have told you so vaguely."

Professor McGonagall frowned. It wasn't that she looked down on Quirrell, but that Quirrell, who had been teaching Muggle Studies classes for these years, could really be said to be mediocre.

Dumbledore saw Professor McGonagall frowning and said with a smile,

"Minerva, you won't forget that Quirinus graduated from Ravenclaw back then. He only taught Muggle Studies because he was very interested in it."

"But what did he find that he had to do?"

Professor McGonagall was still very confused.

Dumbledore sighed and said,

"Minerva, it seems you have really forgotten that child, right?"

Mag was stunned and immediately reacted and asked,

"You mean Mary?"

Professor McGonagall is not a fool. The reason why she has always had some doubts about Quirrell is because she has not thought about that matter.

Dumbledore nodded and said,

"Yes, that's Mary. What a gifted child she is. It's a pity, it's a pity that she was caught against Tom."

Professor McGonagall nodded and said,

"Yes, in those days, it was obvious that Mary, a Muggle-born, would be caught by them."

Dumbledore's eyes became confused, and he recalled what happened to the child.

Mary Jones, a little Muggle-born wizard from Ravenclaw, is very talented.

Especially after the third grade, it attracted the attention of almost all professors. At that time, Dumbledore was only the acting principal and a professor of Transfiguration, and Mary was a member of his Transfiguration Club.

At that time, Mary had the opportunity to open Ravenclaw's inheritance secret room, and she even started making rings when she was in fifth grade.

However, it is a pity that she was caught by Death Eaters during a vacation after she publicly expressed her views on Death Eaters and disparaging articles about You-Know-Who, and then was tortured to death.

When Dumbledore and the others got the news and rushed over, all they saw was a body covered in blood and with missing limbs.

At that time, Quirrell and Mary were a couple, and they were a couple seen by many professors.

After Quirrell graduated, he stayed at Hogwarts and became the Muggle Studies professor.

Therefore, over time, most people have forgotten that Quirrell also participated in the Global Absolute Competition and was a wizard who almost won the championship.

Almost everyone has forgotten that Quirrell was very talented in magic, and he was born in Ravenclaw and developed many magic spells,

Dumbledore had always suspected that Quirrell had never given up his hatred of the mysterious man. Even after the Potters defeated the mysterious man, he did not need Dumbledore's reminder to believe that the mysterious man would die like this.

This time he applied for an adventure and travel, which made Dumbledore have to suspect that Quirrell had clues about the mysterious person.

"Minerva, go and teach Quirinus to come over. Forget it, I'll go to his office to find him myself. By the way, remember to tell the house elves to ignore the people in my office. They If you are not afraid of hunger and still stay in my office, then let them stay."

Mag nodded,

"good."

Then he turned around and walked toward the kitchen below the castle.

Dumbledore went to Quirrell's office.

"Quirinas, do you want to travel?"

Dumbledore asked as soon as he saw Quirrell,

Quirrell nodded.

"Yes, I still have too little knowledge now, and if everything goes well, I think I can be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts when I come back. Professor, haven't you always wanted me to teach that class?"

Dumbledore sighed, looked into Quirrell's eyes and asked,

"Quirinas, tell me the truth, did you find any traces of him?"

Quirrell sighed and said,

"Perhaps you are the only one who can still understand me so well. Yes, that's right. I have never given up looking for him over the years. Until not long ago, a friend of mine, a very cunning friend, was near Albania. A clue was found in the forest, and that friend died there because of this clue. He could only inform me of that place before he died. "

"So, you want to go in person?"

Dumbledore stared into Quirrell's eyes,

Quirrell nodded and said,

"Of course, I have to go, Professor, I don't believe you can't see the problem with me with your magic water quality."

When Dumbledore heard this, he was also stunned. His eyes narrowed and he looked at Quirrell's body in the light blue light.

"This? How did you do this, Quirinus?"

Quirrell smiled freely and said,

"The message that friend brought me before he died was actually an object,"

As he spoke, he took out a suitcase from the cabinet on the side.

It was opened to reveal an item wrapped in black cloth. It was a piece of bark with the following words on it:

On the road to immortality, I have gone farther than anyone else!

Dumbledore was immediately attracted to the bark, but not because of the words on it, but because of the bark itself.

"Is it a curse?"

Quirrell nodded,

"I thought it was just an ordinary curse at first. It wasn't until I was actually caught that I was sure that it was a curse about the soul. It would continue to weaken my soul until I died, and it was still a incomplete curse. As a result, it cannot be analyzed."

Dumbledore sighed and asked,

"How much longer?"

"Three years, if I go according to my plan, I still have three years. If I do nothing, I only have five years at most."

"You've decided."

"Of course, the mysterious man's so-called path to immortality should be to split the soul, which is the so-called Horcrux. As long as my plan succeeds, maybe I can know how many Horcruxes he has in total, and even destroy the current main soul. , after that, as long as you, Professor, destroy all the Horcruxes, we will be completely victorious."

Dumbledore sighed and said,

"I know that he has Horcruxes, and more than one. Now, I can vaguely confirm the existence of several Horcruxes. As for how many times he has split his soul, I think I might be able to get the news from Horace."

Quirrell shook his head and said,

"But they are all inaccurate, aren't they? As long as my method is successful, I will get the most accurate information, and it can even solve the problem once and for all."

Dumbledore looked at Quirrell and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only close it and let out a long sigh.
