Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 301: The Story of Quirinus Quirrell

Severe winter is moving away from Devon in March, the temperature is getting warmer, the snow is beginning to melt, sprouts are growing on the muddy ground, and the earth is rejuvenated.

A young man in a windbreaker appeared without warning, and stepped back into the ground with one foot. He walked slowly towards the house not far away.

With a creaking sound, the door of the house was pushed open.

"Looks like it's time to fix it," the young man muttered. He walked straight to the kitchen, hung the damp trench coat on the hanger by the fireplace, took out the wand in his pocket, and rekindled the fire.

A small black snake emerged from the pocket of the young man's trench coat and came to the fire to bake.

Now, it's not yet time for the snake to wake up from hibernation, but the young man can't help it, because he prefers to be possessed by snakes rather than mice.

The young man is Quirinus Quirrell. Not long ago, I just returned to the United Kingdom after traveling around the world, and I am currently preparing to go to Hogwarts to apply for a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

This time, Quirrell didn't come back alone, with him by his side.

Or rather, a snake.

He who is possessed by Little Snake has had many names: the man who can't even be named, the Dark Lord, or... Voldemort.

Yes, the famous Voldemort.

Of course, to show his deference, Quirrell kept calling him Master, which is what Death Eaters call the Dark Lord.

While Quirrell never liked the title, he needed to look respectful, at least on the surface.

Right now, Quirrell is trying to learn more magic tricks from Voldemort to make sure he's never the **** of a laugh again.

He sits in the armchair, looks at the fire in the fireplace, takes a sip of black tea, the flames dance in his eyes, just like his current mood.

Everything is different.

Once, Quirrell, a Hogwarts student, was very weak and was always ridiculed and teased by other classmates. He was tired of being like that and vowed to change all that.

Shortly after graduating, Quirrell hoped to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, a profession he knew was intimidated by the rumored curse, but Quirrell felt it was nonsense and thought he could Overcome the so-called curse and make everyone look at him with admiration.

However, instead of agreeing to Quirrell's job search right away, Dumbledore suggested that he travel the world, gain more knowledge, and come back to him when he returns.

During the years of traveling the world, Quirrell developed an interest in dark magic. Only in theory, of course, but he soon realized that theoretical black magic was as ridiculous as he had fantasized about being a formidable dark wizard.

Eventually, Quirrell begins to fantasize that he can track down Voldemort and even learn more magic tricks from him.

He changed his travel goals to the Albanian forest, where legend has it that Voldemort hid, but no one knows if this is true.

However, to Quirrell's surprise, he did meet the legendary Voldemort, who is currently forced to live in small rodents and is rather weak.

To Quirrell, this is ridiculous. He also realized that his fantasies might come true. After Voldemort persuaded him to become a member of the dark forces, Quirrell expressed the hope that he could learn more magic skills from Voldemort, and in exchange, he could help him recover his body .

As expected, Voldemort agreed to the deal.

This makes Quirrell feel complacent, thinking that the legendary Dark Lord is nothing more than that, thinking that he has the ability to control Voldemort.

As long as you can learn the other party's superb magic skills, you can definitely become a powerful wizard, and no longer be as small as many people. He is tired of being ordinary, tired of being despised and ridiculed by others, and he wants to become a being that everyone looks up to, like Dumbledore and Voldemort.

As for Voldemort, the abysmal Dark Lord, at that time, he was just a bargaining chip that could be discarded at will, and he could even give it to Dumbledore himself.

Voldemort did teach him quite a few magic tricks during his travels, but Quirrell sadly found himself only able to master a fraction of them, but it was enough to make him a great wizard.

Voldemort stayed with him for the rest of his trip around the world.

Occasionally, the two sides would gossip about something, and while Quirrell dismissed most of what Voldemort said, he had to admit that some of what the other said was true.

There is no right or wrong in the world. He is called the Dark Lord by the world, and he only uses violence in the process of fighting for power.

Voldemort never thought that he had done anything wrong, that powerless people are nothing but incompetence, and incompetence is a sin.

Quirrell felt the same way.

When Voldemort promised to take control of the Ministry of Magic, he would leave Quirrell's place as a reward for helping him recover.

At that moment, Quirrell was tempted, and if Voldemort was his backer, everything would be different.

From then on, Quirrell began to accept Voldemort's guidance and execute his orders. It is undeniable that the dark wizard's behavior has benefited Quirrell a lot.

Voldemort also told Quirrell a number of secret things, including that the legendary alchemist Nicole LeMay was still alive, and the existence of the Philosopher's Stone, which gives immortality.

He tells Quirrell that he needs the stone to guarantee immortality, and Quirrell will be rewarded with a lot of gold.

With Voldemort's help, Quirrell spent a lot of time finally finding Nicole LeMay's place in Paris, France, but the other party seemed to sense their prying and kept hiding in the safe house, failing them succeed.

Soon, Dumbledore arrived, and Quirrell never dared to show his face, but kept himself hidden behind his back by controlling Muggles to monitor Nico's residence.

However, something that upset Quirrell happened again, Nicole LeMay disappeared without warning with the help of Dumbledore.

Quirrell and Voldemort struggled to find the clue again, Nicole Lemay lives in Devon, where he lives is protected by the Faithful Charm, they can't find him at all, and the Keeper is Dumbledore.

Quirrell had been watching Nicole LeMay's house for a long time, occasionally seeing Dumbledore who came to visit him.

The other party has also discovered his existence~IndoMTL.com~ but not sure who it is.

While Quirrell and Voldemort were considering how to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, the situation took a turn for the worse, and it was said that the Philosopher's Stone might be hidden in Gringotts.

This is the result of his torture of a goblin.

Stealing the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts is no easy task, and Quirrell still needs to determine if the news is true, because Dumbledore already knows that someone is eyeing the Philosopher's Stone and is likely to set a trap Put him together.

Furthermore, Gringotts is so heavily guarded that few wizards can steal from Gringotts and get away.

Quirrell is sad to find that he does not have that ability, and Voldemort seems to think so too, and is trying to train him to be a qualified helper.
