Harry Potter Returns from Baldur's Gate

"Add some honey, Quirrell, do you want to listen to what you are saying? This is the first time I have heard this from someone other than Dumbledore."

"Yes, despise Dumbledore, become Dumbledore, surpass Dumbledore~"

Quirrell spoke in an operatic tone as the sound of chairs creaked again in Snape's office.

"I owe you one, Snape, if there's anything you want me to do..."

"I want you to disappear from my sight right now."

Snape's tone was filled with impatience.

"As you wish~"

Seeing that Quirrell was about to come out of Snape's office, Harry quickly exchanged glances with Draco.

'Are you crazy?'

'That's all we have to do now, brother.'

"I really don't know who you learned this trick from."

After quickly convincing Draco with his eyes, Harry pretended nothing had happened and knocked on the door of Snape's office.

"Who?!"

Snape's alert voice immediately rang out in the room.

"It's me, Professor Snape."

Harry glanced at Draco and spoke loudly to Snape.

"I have a question I want to ask you."

At the same time, Draco pinched his throat and raised his wand to point at Harry.

"Possessed by an evil spirit!"

"There are many obstacles!"

Draco's voice-falseting technique is pretty good. I'll have to learn from him when I have time in the evening.

Harry thought as he was hit by Draco's spell.

The next second, Harry broke open the door of Snape's office and fell into Snape's office.

Outside the office, Draco was still casting spells loudly, with the momentum of an entire platoon.

"Stop it all!"

Hearing the noise outside the office, Snape stood up from behind his desk and walked out.

Harry, who was lying on the ground, saw Professor Quirrell, who was sitting opposite him in the office, hurriedly putting on the hood of his cloak.

Just before Quirrell put on his hood, Harry saw that the strange runes that used to be on Quirrell's chest had now spread to Quirrell's neck.

"Mr. Potter, what is the point of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

Before Harry could wait, he looked around Snape's office for the bottle of potion that Quirrell had just drunk.

Quirrell, who had put on his hood, asked Harry.

"Never study the Dark Arts, Professor."

"anything else?"

“Always be vigilant.”

"Yes, always be vigilant."

Quirrell stood up from his chair.

"And you, the renowned basilisk killer, Mr. Harry Potter, were attacked at the door of the Potions Professor's office. I am very disappointed."

Quirrell said as he walked out of Snape's office.

"So I'm going to deduct ten Quirrell points from you. Is that okay with you, Mr. Potter?"

"Actually, I have a problem with that, Professor."

Harry said as he looked at Quirrell's back as he got up from the ground.

"I think ten points are too much, Professor. It's not fair that other students who are attacked don't get deducted Quirrell points."

"But you're the Boy-Who-Lived and the Basilisk Slayer aren't you?"

Quirrell looked back at Harry from the doorway of Snape's office.

"You are special, so I should judge you by a higher standard. Ten Quirrell points, Mr. Potter. See you in class tomorrow."

After saying this, Quirrell pulled his hood up again and walked out of Snape's office.

As soon as Quirrell left Snape's office, Snape and Draco walked in.

Snape's eyes had never been so cold when he looked at Harry.

"Potter, what do you want from me?"

Obviously now was not a good time to discuss shampoo, so Harry could only use some questions from Potions class to get away with it.

But Snape was obviously in a bad mood now. After simply answering Harry's question, he kicked Harry out of his office.

Harry and Draco left the basement of Hogwarts. It was not until they reached the fourth floor that Harry began to talk to Draco in a low voice.

"What do you think is going on?"

"It's clear that Quirrell is doing something behind Dumbledore's back, and Snape is his unwilling helper."

"Combined with what I heard last time, it's clear that Quirrell has crossed some line, which is why Snape warned him like this."

Harry and Draco looked at each other and immediately came to a conclusion.

"Quirrel is studying the Dark Arts, very powerful Dark Arts, otherwise Snape would not have warned him like this."

After coming to this conclusion, Harry and Draco soon had another question.

That is the various kinds of dark magic. What kind of dark magic is Quirrell studying that would make Snape warn Quirrell like this?

Harry, who had a deep understanding of what spellcasters were capable of, was completely confused.

After all, there are almost infinite possibilities for what the wizard wants to do.

There were too many examples in history that Harry knew of, and most of them were legitimate magical research.

Although the classification of dark magic has been made, in Harry's opinion, this kind of question is completely unpredictable.

From summoning an army of undead to directly "extinguishing" the sun, there is nothing that cannot be done in the world of mages.

Just as Harry was scratching his head, Draco made a guess.

In the wizarding world, the most advanced technologies in magic are nothing more than the two related to soul and life and death.

Knowing that the Philosopher's Stone was hidden in the castle, he was still unwilling to inform Dumbledore and acted in private.

There is no need to think about it, he must want to use the Philosopher's Stone to study something.

Behind Dumbledore's back, he used the Philosopher's Stone to study the dark arts...

After Draco proposed this theory, both Draco and Harry were stunned.

If this is true, doesn't it mean that Hermione's previous guess was correct?

As for the possibility that Quirrell might use the Philosopher's Stone for good...

If Quirrell was doing good things, did he need to conduct his research behind Dumbledore's back?

After Harry and Draco exchanged glances, he hesitated again.

If this kind of thing happened normally, Harry would go straight to the headmaster's office and ask Dumbledore for help.

Look at whether Qi Luo is going to work hard quietly and then surprise everyone.

Or should I prepare to give everyone a surprise silently?

If it was the former, then Harry was willing to pay compensation to Quirrell and apologize.

If it was the latter, Harry would not hesitate to ask Dumbledore to mobilize all the strength he could to give Quirrell a surprise.

But there is a problem here.

That was Draco's godfather, and Snape was also implicated.

Adventure is never just about fighting and killing, it is more about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

After all, if an adventurer does not understand human nature, then he'd better hope that he is strong enough to be a team by himself and be able to handle everything.

Or simply make changes or retire after realizing your own shortcomings.

Otherwise, there are always many adventurers who go missing during their adventures every year.

Draco was obviously troubled by this problem as well.

Finally, when the two of them reached the eighth floor of the castle, Draco was ready to use the old adventurer's method to solve the problem.

That is to observe Quirrell's condition first and then make a decision after obtaining evidence.

However, if they want to observe Quirrell, Harry and Draco alone are obviously not enough.

Even if Qiu Zhang or Ron were added, it wouldn't be enough.

Fortunately, Harry already had a mature solution to this problem.

Last semester, there was talk of serving yourself.

Now is the time for him to serve himself.

Harry planned to call Neville out for a chat during lunch today.

Let Neville bring his Longbottom family to help me pay attention to what Professor Quirrell does besides teaching.

A surveillance mission like this would surely be discovered quickly if only one or two people were involved.

But if the person in charge of surveillance is a whole academy of young wizards, this matter becomes easy.

After all, with Quirrell's homework as a cover, it is reasonable for these little wizards to appear anywhere.

Harry, who had already decided to let Neville do the job, just gave the password to the portrait of the Fat Lady guarding the door of the Gryffindor common room and was about to enter the common room.

Then he was bumped into by someone.
