Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 378: Difficulty
"I thought Defence Against the Dark Arts was going to be a mess," Fred whispered to the many students in the classroom.
Professor Quirrell's teaching level is far inferior to the previous two Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, but he can barely let everyone learn something useful.
The third-year curriculum at Hogwarts is still taught in accordance with The Dark Forces: Self-Defense Guide, a Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook that would not be expected until fifth-grade, O. w. The main content of the Ls exam is also derived from this book.
Of course, some professors will also selectively add some new teaching materials according to their needs, such as a senior liar Lockhart.
On the podium, Professor Quirrell is talking to the students about the revived zombies and a series of countermeasures after the encounter. He once told everyone that his scarf was a gift from an African prince to thank himself. Help him get rid of the entanglement of revived zombies.
However, no one really believed Professor Quirrell's story.
After everyone recorded some relevant knowledge, Qi Qi looked in Albert's direction, as if waiting for something to happen.
"Do you have any doubts... Do you have any doubts, Mr. Ann... Anderson?" Quirrell stammered as he looked at Albert who raised his hand to ask.
"Professor, I would like to know what is the difference between zombies and the legendary Inferi." Albert asked his own question, "How are we going to differentiate them."
He paused, as if to let Quirrell take a breather and hear what he was saying before continuing, "What should I do if I encounter an Inferi."
"Different... difference?" Quirrell didn't really like Albert's question, but the genius always asked some reasonable questions. He was a little dizzy now with the barrage of questions.
Everyone sympathized with Professor Quirrell a little, but they all liked watching Albert "embarrass" Professor Quirrell.
Because they could learn a lot from Albert's questions, and Professor Quirrell's answers, maybe even more than Professor Quirrell taught in class.
"The Inferi is a 'cursed and resurrected corpse' turned into a 'terrible puppet' servant that can be manipulated by a dark wizard." Professor Quirrell stammered, reluctantly answering Albert's question doubt.
The most talented student at Hogwarts, who asks questions in every class, has become a staple of Defense Against the Dark Arts at some point.
Professor Quirrell regretted why he had to answer the question in the first place, but it was too late. If he didn't answer the question, everyone would stare at him expectantly, a level of concentration that had never been seen in class.
"...It is said that the black magic created by the devil who can't even mention his name."
Everyone could feel that Professor Quirrell's body seemed to be shaking uncontrollably, and his voice was shaking when he said the devil who couldn't even mention his name.
"At that time, that fiend who couldn't even name it killed a lot of Muggles and made a lot of Inferi out of their corpses," Quirrell said dryly, "To be honest, it's not a pleasant topic. "
"As for the difference, the Infernal Corpse is a corpse, a puppet, and can only execute the orders of the Dark Wizard, while the Resurrection Zombie has part of the consciousness in front of it, and its essence is more similar to a ghost. Of course, in the UK, you basically don't have to worry about it. You will encounter zombies.”
"Sir, what should we do if we encounter the Inferi?" Albert asked patiently after Quirrell had finished speaking.
"It's been a long time since the Inferi appeared," Quirrell said uneasily. "Since the last time the demon who couldn't even mention his name lost power, the Inferi has disappeared."
"However, this does not mean that the Inferi has completely disappeared." Albert continued, "As long as there are still people who master the magic of creating Inferi, they may still encounter them. I have checked the relevant information and recorded Few: The Inferi has "many usefulness" as "a warrior or guard who does not care about his own safety."
"Yes... yes, the Inferi has many uses as a 'warrior or guard who doesn't care about his own safety,'" Quirrell repeated, stammering. It would be dangerous."
"However, the Inferi are afraid of fire and light," Quirrell said. "The fire can burn them, and the light can make them retreat into the shadows, making them chaotic and uncontrollable."
"Sir, can you use a spell to blast their heads to stop or destroy the Inferi! I mean clean them up." In Albert's eyes, Inferi are puppets, similar to some extent For the zombies in Resident Evil, then, can the method of destroying the zombies kill the Inferi?
When Albert said these words, many students couldn't help touching their heads.
"This... I haven't encountered an Inferi before, so I'm not sure... whether what you said has any effect." Quirrell stammered, "If it does happen one day, I advise Mr. Anderson not to. Random attempts, the Inferi, as "fighters or guards who don't care about their own safety", should use the correct, safest and most reliable method to solve them, or it will be a disaster if they are entangled by the Inferi."
Albert nodded, indicating that he understood.
There are actually a lot of wizards who can really wield a wand and use flames, but not everyone can shoot flames to drive away the Inferi.
Albert even doubts that the light of a common glowing spell can terrify the Infernal.
If you encounter a single Infernal corpse, as long as it is properly controlled, it will not be dangerous, but if you encounter a group, you may have to run away.
At the time, Harry Potter didn't seem to be able to handle it.
In Albert's limited memory, where Harry and Dumbledore went to find the Slytherin locket, there was a large pile of Inferi, and finally Dumbledore blew up the fire and drove all the Inferi out .
Sure enough, if you really encounter a bunch of Infernal corpses in the future, you should throw a light ball and run away quickly. After all, things that are not afraid of death are really hard to deal with.
"By the way, why do you like to ask Professor Quirrell a question every time."
At the end of get out of class, Fred finally couldn't help but ask.
"I don't think Professor Quirrell is playing at the level he should have~IndoMTL.com~" Albert said seriously, "He's also a very good professor. "
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Anderson." Quirrell forced a smile as he passed by.
"The flatterer."
Katrina muttered softly as she watched Professor Quirrell leave.
"Don't forget, Professor Quirrell has answered all the questions I asked." Albert reminded, "What we see on the surface is not necessarily true."
This judgment is based on Quirrell's deeds. Since he can escape from the pursuit of the Gringotts goblins, and make them mistakenly believe that a dark wizard did it, he is naturally a bit capable, otherwise the goblins would have been killed by the goblins. killed.
Also, the most important point is Fiery Fire, the so-called Devil's Flame, which is very difficult to control. Since Quirrell can control the Devil's Flame to burn through the door of the vault, how could he be weak?
In a way, a wizard who dares to play with fiery fire and has not been burned to death is considered quite powerful.
The other party must have high attainments in black magic, at least a lot stronger than Albert.
Of course, there is another reason.
Albert found a new mission on Quirrell's body:
Good student.
Your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seems to be hiding a big secret. You find that he is not as incompetent as he looks on the surface. He uses the student's way to test and unearth the hidden strength of the other party, and strive to ask the other party a hundred questions.
5100
Rewards 10,000 experience, 1 skill point, and obtains a specified skill on the target.
Well, that's right, that's the main reason why Albert tried so hard to ask, he needed to finish his question reasonably before Quirrell was defeated by Harry.
