Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 338: The Story of Quirinus Quirrell (2)
"Master, I have heard from the goblin that Dumbledore has indeed kept a valuable item in the underground vault 713!"
In the dark room, Quirrell was reporting the latest information to Voldemort, "According to the goblin, the underground vault 713 is a vault for storing valuables. There is no key to the door there, and no one except the goblin can Open the vault door and take the contents."
The snake in front of Quirrell didn't react much. It seemed to be just a snake. He continued, "I've got the goblin under control, but want to break into Gringotts..."
"Quirro, I've spent so much time and energy on you, not to hear your excuses!" On the snake's head, a ferocious human face emerged. It was the face of Voldemort. Once Voldemort spoke to him like this, the life he possessed would be greatly reduced.
"Sorry, Master."
"I need you to get the Philosopher's Stone ASAP, not your apologies, I think you must have a plan, Quirrell!"
"Yes Master, I already have a plan of my own, the goblin controlled by the Imperius will open the door to the underground vault 713 for me." Quirrell whispered, "However, I haven't yet. Think of how to get rid of the Gringotts goblins after grabbing the Philosopher's Stone."
Actually, Quirrell didn't really want to break into Gringotts. Although Voldemort said that getting the Philosopher's Stone and allowing him to completely restore his body would give Quirrell the honor and status he deserved. Quirrell, however, still had little confidence in breaking into Gringotts, because he had never heard of a wizard who could successfully steal in Gringotts.
Those thieves who came up with the idea of Gringotts have all been trapped in the huge underground labyrinth under Gringotts, where there is no Apparition.
Quiell thought he must be crazy, or Voldemort was crazy, to have the idea of robbing Gringotts. However, he also knew that the Dark Lord had taught him the skills of spellcasting and the power of black magic so that he could bring the Philosopher's Stone out of Gringotts.
If you fail, you will suffer a terrible punishment.
Quirrell can't imagine what happens to him if he fails, like those wizards who have been possessed by the Dark Lord.
Not long ago, Quirrell once caught a wizard from the alley and let the Dark Lord possess him to teach himself magic and magical skills. However, he saw with his own eyes how Voldemort made the other party submit. How to die.
All of this horrified Quirrell as he found himself seemingly powerless to resist, even though the Dark Lord looked very weak, he was still strong.
"As long as you steal the Philosopher's Stone, when I'm fully resurrected, those goblins are nothing at all."
"I'll be..." Quirrell whispered when there was a knock on the kitchen window glass, interrupting Quirrell, who opened the window to receive a letter from Owl, which was from Ho Invitation from Gwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He quickly opened the letter and scanned the contents of the stationery:
Headmaster Dumbledore formally invited him to Hogwarts, bringing with him a familiarity with the castle, colleagues and the next teaching session.
Quirrell closed the letter and took a deep breath. The meeting with Dumbledore was undoubtedly an opportunity to betray the Dark Lord. If the Dark Lord is handed over to Dumbledore, he believes that the greatest of all time
A great wizard can definitely...
Quirro admits that he was a bit persuaded by Voldemort, but that doesn't mean he's a fool. On the contrary, Quirrell is smart and has been a Ravenclaw prefect. Quirrell's magic talent is actually pretty good, otherwise it wouldn't have taken only a few months to grow up quickly under the guidance of Voldemort. He has mastered the silent spell that he was not very familiar with, and even some simple magic can be Can be used without a wand.
Now Quirrell can be regarded as an excellent wizard. As long as he betrays the Dark Lord, he will be free!
As soon as this thought surfaced in his mind, Quirrell immediately snuffed out the tumultuous thought.
He didn't dare to have extra thoughts in front of Voldemort, who could easily see through his thoughts.
"Dumbledore's invitation!" Quirrell said respectfully. "The one who invited me to school to familiarize myself with the next teaching career."
"You want to give me to Dumbledore." Voldemort stared at Quirrell's face, and suddenly said, "You learned spellcasting skills and a lot of black magic from me, so you are ready to abandon me ?"
"No, I didn't, Master!" Quirrell said terrified.
"Lying, you're lying to me. That's what you thought just now, you want to give me to Dumbledore!" Voldemort's voice echoed in Quirrell's mind, "You want to use Dumbledore to get rid of I, you approached me just to learn black magic and spellcasting skills from me, right?"
"I don't mind what you do, I don't mind, but do you think you can get rid of me?" Voldemort laughed suddenly, "In my current state, even Dumbledore can't kill me. , he can't do anything about me, and he can't help you."
"No, Master, I have never thought of betraying you, never have." Quirrell bowed his head deeply and said respectfully.
"I don't care! But remember, anyone who betrays me will pay for it!" Voldemort's voice echoed in Quirrell's ear.
The next day, Quirrell went to Hogwarts at the agreed time.
In front of the school gate ~IndoMTL.com~ Quirrell saw Hagrid, the gamekeeper, waiting for him at the gate.
Quirrell stepped forward, greeted Hagrid with a stuttering tone, and shook hands.
Hagrid took him to the Headmaster's Office, where Headmaster Dumbledore chatted with him for a while about work, talked about the benefits of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and personally took Quirrell around Hogwarts A circle, such as his Defence Against the Dark Arts office, the classroom to be used for later classes.
"You should familiarize yourself with your work first. After a while, I may need your help with something." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"I'm so happy to--be able to help, it's my honor--glory!"
"By the way, Professor McGonagall asked me to tell you, and I hope you can draw up the books that will be used in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class as soon as possible so that you can send admission letters to students!"
"No - no problem, I'll - quickly hand in the required list - to Professor McGonagall." Quirrell nodded, wanting to look reliable, however, his behavior But not much convincing.
After watching Dumbledore leave, Quirrell closed the Defence Against the Dark Arts office door and carefully checked every corner of the room to make sure he wasn't being watched.
Honestly, this is unlikely.
Quirrell felt that his disguise was very successful. He kept making himself look a little stuttered and nervous, and told Dumbledore some bad experiences during his travels, cleverly hiding it from Dumbledore.
