Chapter 16
After looking at the dog food he brought, he felt that he could wait, but Greedy Gui Yaya probably couldn't wait.
He could already hear the sound of teeth drooling.
I don’t know how this big dog recognized Tom as the boss just for food.
After knocking on the door and opening it, he saw an angry and annoyed Hagrid who was sulking at him.
The three little ones are also inside.
Well, there's also rock pie on the table.
Hopefully Hermione's dentist dad can fix their teeth.
Chapter 18 Guess and Quirrell
"I swear, Hagrid definitely knows something."
After coming out of Hagrid's hut, Harry swore.
After John put down the dog food, he left with the three little ones. Hermione and Ron also felt that Hagrid was hiding something.
Their only clue now is Nico Flamel.
Harry, who wanted to reveal Snape's true identity, said, "I seem to have an impression of this name, but I can't remember it."
He always felt that he had seen this name before, but he could not remember it.
The small bag that Hagrid took from Gringotts was obviously Snape's target, and that thing was related to Nico Flamel.
"Have you heard of this name John?" Harry placed his hope on John, who was smarter than Hermione.
John recalled it, shook his head and said apologetically: "Sorry, I don't remember either. You can go to the library and have a look. If it's not there, then this person doesn't exist."
It was a good idea, and it made Harry's eyes light up.
Hermione originally wanted to go to the library, but now she agreed and urged: "Then let's go there quickly. It's best to find it before Christmas."
She and Ron were going home for Christmas, and there were still more than twenty days left, hoping to find the answer.
Harry's eyes dimmed a little when he heard about Christmas.
He didn't want to go back to the Dursleys, where he would only live in a small stair cupboard cubicle and where Dudley always wanted to bully him.
Seeing that Hermione and the others were already discussing Christmas plans, Harry said enviously: "I don't want to go back, it's too bad there."
Ron and Hermione expressed sympathy for him, finding it hard to imagine such a bad relative.
"John, are you going home for Christmas too?" Hermione knew that John was also from a Muggle family.
John had no intention of going back, and shook his head: "No, I plan to consolidate my knowledge during Christmas. I won't be able to use magic when I go home."
This kind of attitude made Harry and Ron shiver. Hermione felt that she couldn't admit defeat, but if she didn't go home, her father would wonder what happened to his good daughter at school.
The four of them separated on the fifth floor, and John had no intention of heading to the library.
Although he was somewhat familiar with the name Nico Flamel, his top priority now was to apply Occlumency.
After reaching the eighth floor, he found the Room of Requirement.
After finishing a day of training inside, it was already dark when I came out again.
He was going to head to the kitchen to see if he could get a supper.
On the way, he met someone he didn't want to meet.
"John Wick, good night, good evening."
Professor Quirrell, who stuttered in his speech, seemed to have met John by chance.
John had quietly touched the wand with his left hand and activated the Occlumency. He smiled and responded politely: "Good evening, Professor Quirrell."
After seeing John's power to kill trolls, Voldemort had the idea of recruiting John as a Death Eater.
Pureblood?
Voldemort didn't care.
He seemed like a crazy purist during his reign, but he was a half-blood himself.
Although he doesn't want to mention it, Voldemort doesn't value half-bloods so much as pure-bloods, but more about whether the power can be used for himself.
The pureblood philosophy was nothing more than a means for him to rule.
The first grade of the little wizard is the easiest time to control.
Voldemort planned to train John into a small Death Eater and become an agent at Hogwarts, just like Snape.
He arranged for Quirrell to make contact with John.
Professor Quirrell knew that John was a studious person, so he pretended to say: "Are you, are you studying? You are really... diligent."
John had already thought of the excuse. John didn't have to use it in vain. He nodded and said: "I'm a little sleepless and forget to eat and eat. If there's nothing else, I'm going to eat."
He didn't want to stay with Quirrell, who knew if Voldemort would pop out of nowhere.
John wanted to leave quickly, but Quirrell didn't.
Quirrell smiled and said: "I'm really studious. Maybe you will be interested in the knowledge in the forbidden book area."
Restricted book area?
John suddenly left in no hurry, with an expression of longing for the restricted area on his face.
This scene was taken in by Quirrell, with a look of contempt in his eyes.
Sure enough, wizards who pursue knowledge are interested in taboos.
The quickest way to turn a good boy into a Death Eater is to let him know the importance of strength.
This is how Quirrell became Voldemort's subordinate.
Voldemort knew these wizards very well. He was a frequent visitor to the Forbidden Book Zone when he was young, and there were many dark magics recorded in it.
Dark magic is powerful and can confuse people. Once John learns it, they can easily harvest a small Death Eater with just a little guidance.
His thoughts only lasted for a moment. Quirrell showed a smile on his face and stammered: "You are a good boy. I...I can give you a pass to the restricted book area."
"Really? I've wanted to go and see it for a long time!"
John behaves like a child seeking knowledge, which is exactly what Quirrell wants to see.
Quirrell asked John to go to his office next Monday to get the pass, which eliminated the problem that John could only go to the restricted book area at night.
As for what Quirrell had in mind, John could guess some.
But these are not important. I am not a child. As long as I get the signature, I can just ignore it.
Anyway, Quirrell can only jump up and down during his first year, and he will be replaced automatically in his second year.
As we all know, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a consumable item that is thrown away every year.
…
on Monday.
John got a note signed by the professor from Quirrell. When giving the note, Quirrell also vaguely gave the names of several books to induce him to read them.
Something like "Dark Magic of the Sixteenth Century", "The Curse of Magic", "Outstanding Curse of the Nineteenth Century" and so on.
He also said that the most basic thing to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts is to understand the composition of black magic. John just laughed at this.
If I believe you, I'm sick.
He showed strong interest on his face, but he changed back immediately after arriving at the library.
In the library, he met a trio who came to check out Nico Flamel, and John did not disturb them.
After showing the professor's note to Ms. Pince, John went to the restricted book area without any hindrance.
Most of the books in the restricted book area are very abstruse, and even if you turn on the academic mode, it will be a bit difficult.
"There is still insufficient accumulation, and the foundation is too weak."
After sighing with emotion, John saw a book called "Fairy Casting Science".
With a thought in his heart, he thought of the Sword of Gryffindor. That sword was commissioned by the goblins to be made by the founder Gryffindor.
His current combat mode is similar to that of Gryffindor, but his weapons are still dwarfed by them.
It was a bit difficult to use medieval armor weapons against trolls last time. The defense of these magical creatures is amazing.
Similar to the fire dragon, the fire dragon's scales have extremely high magic resistance properties.
If you want to deal with the fire dragon, you can't use ordinary weapons.
"Maybe I can forge one myself."
John's eyes were fiery, and it would be best to have a weapon of his own.
Borrowing "The Science of Fairy Forging", John began to study the book without sleep or food.
This book is a translation, and the original owner was an Egyptian wizard.
John had some difficulty reading, but it didn't matter, he still had time to grind.
In the next few days, he borrowed another "Basic Magic Text Guide" from the library.
While enriching his own knowledge, John was gradually able to master the contents of "Fairy Casting Science".
At night, he put his books away and prepared to head to the Forbidden Forest.
The punishment on his body has not yet been wiped off, and John needs to go to the Forbidden Forest every night to patrol with Hagrid.
After arriving at Hagrid's hut, Fang ran over enthusiastically and sniffed John's body with his nose.
Hagrid laughed and said, "Ya likes you very much."
like?
John watched Fang sniff his sandwich pocket.
"Are you sure it's not hungry?"
Chapter 19 Night Demon and Big Spider
It's been a few days since the unicorn death.
During this period, Hagrid had a lot of conversations with the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. From the centaurs, he learned that there was an evil being wandering outside the Forbidden Forest.
So the two of them will patrol the perimeter tonight.
John was gradually able to keep up with Hagrid, with Fang running ahead.
This big dog is huge but very timid.
Not even as bold as Tom.
During the patrol, a spider as big as a human head appeared in front of John.
He was so frightened that he clenched his wand and was about to use Shatter.
"What a big spider."
"Wait, these are the descendants of Aragog."
Hagrid shouted and stopped John. Under John's numb gaze, Hagrid and the spider seemed to be communicating.
"It's Aragog who's looking for me."
Aragog is Hagrid's friend. He was adopted by Hagrid when he was a child. After Hagrid's accident, he escaped into the Forbidden Forest and became an old spider.
John nodded numbly. Hagrid was really heartless. If Ron touched this spider, he would probably die on the spot.
Following the spider, they headed to a cave.
John had already seen many spiders before entering. After entering, he had goosebumps all over his body.
There are countless spiders at a glance, and even the spiders with big human heads become tiny here.
There are dozens of spiders as tall as a human being.
