Chapter 121: Oh No! Professor Quirrell was captured by a dark wizard
Just after the weekend, the little wizards learned a shocking news.
Professor Quirrell has resigned...
The news spread quickly to every corner of Hogwarts like a whirlwind.
All kinds of speculations and rumors have been circulating on campus, some of which are ridiculously exaggerated, while others seem to have some truth to them.
However, the fifth and seventh graders were in no mood to discuss this.
With only one and a half months left before the wizarding level examination, Professor Quirrell actually quit at this critical juncture.
This is so anxiety-provoking.
The little wizards murmured to each other:
"With such a tight schedule, can the school find a new teacher to substitute for the class?"
“Even if we have a new teacher, how can we have the time to adapt to the new teaching method?”
A boy who usually has excellent grades also seemed a little flustered at this time.
"Although Professor Quirrell stutters, he is an outstanding student of Ravenclaw after all. We had hoped that he could give us some important hints before the exam..."
This is just great.
Not only are the exam secrets gone, but even the teacher who can review with me is gone.
I'm afraid the exam will be a failure...
Just when everyone was frowning, a reassuring news came - Professor Snape will take over the teaching of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
This news was like a shot in the arm, and everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Professor Snape taught the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for two months last year, and the results were obvious to all.
After learning about the students' learning progress, Snape curled his lips slightly.
"It seems that your Professor Garlic has not fulfilled his teaching obligations very well."
"If you want to get high scores in the wizard level exam, you have to work harder."
"What are you waiting for? Turn to page 494. Today we will review how to resist evil curses."
Snape stood on the podium, looking expressionlessly at the fifth-year students below. However, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, showing that he was in a good mood.
After confirming that Snape would be the substitute teacher, the young wizards were completely relieved and their attention turned back to the rumors of Quirrell's resignation.
The corridors, halls, and even corners of the library at Hogwarts were filled with speculation about Quirrell's resignation.
"I think he was expelled from school. Haven't you noticed that he's been acting more and more strange lately?"
"No! I heard that he met a dark wizard who could transform into a troll, and the two of them fought in the Forbidden Forest for three days and three nights. Finally, Professor Quirrell managed to escape!"
"No, no, no, this is pure fake news. My uncle is an Auror. He said that Professor Quirrell offended too many people when he caught dark wizards some time ago, and someone had him attacked."
"That makes some sense, but not much. In fact, there are deep reasons why Professor Quirrell resigned..."
A seventh-grade little witch sighed with emotion.
Huh?
This girl seems to be Professor Quirrell's teaching assistant.
Could it be...
Does she really have any inside information?
Seeing this senior sister's expression as if to say, "I have something to tell you, come and ask me," the little wizards could no longer sit still and surrounded her.
"Senior, please tell me quickly, what is the underlying reason?"
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, the little witch did not hide her feelings and spoke mysteriously in a low voice.
"For a while, I often heard Professor Quirrell talking to himself, talking about what love is."
"According to my research, Professor Quirrell met a beautiful witch when he was traveling last year."
"They fell in love at first sight, and they were very close. But Professor Quirrell was a wanderer, and he would never stop for a flower."
"It's just that Professor Quirrell didn't expect that the witch was a dark wizard."
"Seeing that she couldn't keep Professor Quirrell, the witch cursed him. Haven't you noticed that Professor Quirrell's face has been getting paler and paler since he started teaching?"
"Professor Quirrell resigned and definitely went to that witch to ask for forgiveness."
oh......
So that’s it!
The young wizards recalled and found that all the details matched, and immediately they started asking questions with shining eyes.
"Senior, how did they live together and stay close to each other? Can you tell me in detail?"
"Yes, Senior Sister, if you have any inside information, please tell me in detail."
"This..." the seventh-grade little witch said mysteriously, "The next one is the VIP version."
Who are you looking down on?
It’s just the VIP version, we’re sure you’ll get it.
Hearing this, the little wizards could no longer sit still and started shouting.
"Come on, come on, everyone, come together and let the senior sister give a Galleon, and I will give two Copper Knuts."
"I'll give you two copper knuts too!"
"I'm still a student, can you add me for free..."
The crowd was noisy and clamorous for a crowdfunding campaign.
Harry, Ron and Hermione stood outside the crowd, looking at each other for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Is it so outrageous?
This is the nth version I have listened to today...
This senior student is so smart that she even invented a VIP version.
Ron's face was full of indignation. If Hermione hadn't kept pulling him back, he would have wanted to find a stage and loudly announce his heroic performance to everyone.
"Ron, don't get excited," Hermione lowered her voice, "We promised the professor not to tell anyone."
"It's obviously a made-up story, can't these guys tell that?" Ron's face was full of disbelief.
If he had known that money was so easy to make, he would never have agreed to the professor's request.
"Give it up, Ron." Harry patted Ron's shoulder and whispered to comfort him.
"Compared to this senior's story, our experience seems more fake."
"After all, who would believe that a few first-year students could pass the levels left by the professors?"
"Everyone, come and see!" Just as the little ones urged the little witch to continue, a shout coming from far away drowned out everyone else's voice.
"There's a notice posted outside the duel hall, saying that a duel competition will be held in the school this weekend."
"The competition is held by grade, and the top five in each grade will receive generous rewards."
"If you want to participate, you need to go to the Duel Hall and sign up now."
Duel Contest?!
Generous rewards?!
Ron's eyes lit up and he pulled Hermione and Harry towards the dueling hall.
"Let's go sign up!"
"I was just wondering how to show my bravery to everyone."
"I have been practicing magic spells for so long just to show my power in front of others."
"If the three of us go out together, we will definitely be able to take down the top three first-year students."
