Chapter 3 Principal, I am sworn to death with evil

Dumbledore took a sip of tea and continued:

"It's really a good theory, which inspired me a lot. Especially the sentence in "Master of All Professions", knowledge is the most pious belief of a wizard."

Douglas suddenly understood something in his heart, perhaps because these were the reasons why he could pass the interview application.

Suddenly, Dumbledore changed the subject.

"So, I'm curious, Douglas, why did you choose Hogwarts to teach? Or why did you choose Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

When he said this, Douglas once again felt a sharp gaze staring at him.

Douglas shrugged effortlessly.

"Actually, it's because the outside world is full of disturbances, and communication is full of intrigues.

This is very bad for my writing.

In my opinion, Hogwarts is a utopia-like place in the real world, although there are also various disturbances.

But generally speaking, the minds of the people here are relatively simple.

Of course, there is another main reason...that is my writing bottleneck. "

Dumbledore frowned slightly, expressing his incomprehension.

Douglas smiled awkwardly:

"Professor, since you have read the "All-Professional Master", you will find that the book was discontinued eight months ago, whether it is the version of the wizarding world or the version of the Muggle world.

In fact, the information I can look up is too little, and most of them are from the Muggle world.

Now that you know I started writing novels in my first year, it's because of the Hogwarts library that helped me a lot...

Also, because I am bigger, I have caused dissatisfaction among some fans and editors in the wizarding and Muggle world.

I heard that there are already extreme fans who are human fleshing me...I mean, looking for me everywhere..."

After hearing what Douglas said, Dumbledore nodded as if understanding.

Looking at Douglas with a smile on his face, he said playfully:

"I understand, I understand.

I also have fans who send me weird and dangerous stuff.

Simply because they want to verify that I am not too old to move.

But don't worry, I think except for a few friends who know you very well, it should be difficult for others to find out that you are the author of these best-selling books. "

Speaking of this, Dumbledore blinked playfully, expressing that he had the same helplessness.

Then he looked at Douglas again with scrutiny.

This made Douglas very puzzled. Since his answer was no problem, why did Dumbledore still react like this?

Or is it that his appearance disrupted Dumbledore's original rhythm.

Fortunately, soon, Dumbledore gave him the reason.

"Mr. Douglas, I remember that you had a good relationship with Quirinus during school, right?"

Douglas recalled a little, and Dumbledore was talking about Professor Quirinus Quirrell, his professor of Muggle studies at the time.

At first, I suspected that the other party was Harry Potter's first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

But as one of the best Hogwarts graduates, he stayed on as a professor directly after graduation, and was even privately regarded by some good people as Quirinus Quirinus, the next head of Ravenclaw.

Obviously, Professor Quirrell, who was stuttering with the lingering Voldemort, was not alone.

Probably the same last name.

Coupled with the other party's good personality and knowledge, it is also because the other party likes to travel.

Generally speaking, the relationship between the two was pretty good during school.

Even after graduation, there was a relationship. It was not until more than two years ago that the other party said that they would go to Albania for a year's vacation. After that, the contact between the two was gradually broken.

Looking at Dumbledore's expression, Douglas wondered if something happened to him.

"Well, professor, you know that I am Muggle-born, so I still have an advantage in Quirinus's class."

Dumbledore nodded, then said:

"Is that why you applied for Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"???"

Douglas was even more confused. What did his application for the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts have to do with Quirinus Quirrell.

Seeing Douglas' expression, Dumbledore's expression eased slightly.

Explained: "The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor last school year was Quirinus, and he..."

"what!"

Douglas was very surprised. He always thought that Quirrell of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was found by Dumbledore from outside.

He really doesn't know about this point, maybe it was mentioned in the original book, but at least 30 years have passed since he read the original book for the last time.

He is rather vague about many things.

But this is not important anymore.

Now judging from the voice of Dumbledore's words, the other party probably suspected that he was the number two player sent by Voldemort.

"Professor, the last time I had contact with Quirinas was more than two years ago, and he said he was going to Albania on a year off.

We haven't been in touch since then.

I don't even know when he will come back to England and become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

However, I heard from my editor that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the last school year was a person who wore a garlic scarf and stuttered!

This is not the same as the handsome Quirinus... it seems... different.

Professor, if you can, can you tell me about it?

And where is he now?

Could it be that this position is really cursed? "

Douglas was really puzzled, he never dared to think that the two were the same person.

Now he desperately needs to know what happened.

Although he still remembered the general plot, since he came to Hogwarts to study.

He couldn't believe that nothing had changed about his little butterfly.

Dumbledore was silent for a while, then watched Douglas slowly tell the story about Professor Quirrell from the previous school year.

Basically said it all.

"Douglas, you must know that studying black magic is very dangerous. It can change people's minds unconsciously..."

When referring to Voldemort behind Quirrell's head, Dumbledore took a special look at Douglas, and saw that he was not panicked after hearing Voldemort's name like ordinary wizards, and felt a little more relieved.

And Douglas was not idle.

Say the right words at the right time.

"Hey! — that's all right?"

"Hey!—this is nonsense!"

"Hey!—that's his fault!"

Yo! --never heard of that!

"Look what happened!"

"Who said no!"

As for the effect, anyway, Dumbledore felt that his words did not fall on the ground.

After Dumbledore finished speaking, Douglas fell into deep thought.

He was no longer reading the story as a Muggle world reader.

But as a member of the wizarding world.

He noticed some details, details that perhaps Dumbledore hadn't even thought of at the time.

But at this moment Douglas hesitated.

He didn't know whether he should tell Dumbledore this, because once he spoke.

There is suspicion of whitewashing Quirrell, and even more serious, he may be labeled as Voldemort's remnant party.

Dumbledore may have seen Douglas' hesitation, so he said:

"Mr. Douglas, is there any problem here? Or do you have anything to say?"

Douglas glanced at Dumbledore, carefully prepared his words and said:

"Professor, the following statement only represents my speculation based on the professor's narration, and does not represent my personal position."

Dumbledore nodded playfully with a piece of dessert in his mouth.

This action will not make Douglas completely put down his guard.

But he also understood Dumbledore's kindness.

So he raised his doubts.
