Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 214 Quirrell's Next Move

I don’t know if it was Moon’s illusion.

When Qi Luo turned his back to him, Moon clearly felt a chill, as if he was locked by a wild beast.

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, he looked at the words Quirrell had written on the blackboard.

"Curses are different from ordinary black magic. They possess more powerful dark energy and have lasting and irreversible effects."

I don’t know if it’s because Moon’s question is too complicated, but Quirrell’s explanation about the curse is more detailed than his answers to other people’s questions.

According to Quirrell's explanation, curses and spells are very different, and there is no unified definition of their form.

Spells and wand-wielding techniques are also created by dark wizards according to their own needs.

It is precisely because of this that each curse has its own characteristics and is very difficult to break without understanding the curse.

"Professor, if you say so, then there is no way to deal with the curse?"

After listening to Quirrell's explanation of the definition of the curse, Moon immediately found some doubts in it.

Moon, who had many battle experiences, knew very well that if the curse was really that powerful, then the wizards who were born for fighting in another world would definitely spare no effort to study this kind of magic.

But the reality is that apart from the curse about Elpers, Moon has not heard of any other magic related to curses.

"Of course there are. Dark wizards who can cast curses must be extremely powerful. The curses they cast also have different levels."

As Quirrell spoke, he took out a piece of chalk and wrote two groups of words on the blackboard: "Common Curses" and "Dangerous Curses".

"For common curses, you can use the [Patronus Charm] to defend yourself before being cast. If you're actually cursed, you can use a high-level [Stop Curse] or the curse's counter-spell to break it."

After Quirrell wrote down these solutions on the blackboard, he took out a piece of chalk and scratched "Dangerous Curse" hard.

“But there is no solution to this problem yet.”

When Quirrell said this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

But he had his back to all the little wizards, so no one noticed.

"Professor, according to what you said, the curse of your position is a dangerous curse that cannot be broken."

Ron became interested after listening to Quirrell's explanation and stood up to ask.

"That's very well said, Mr. Weasley."

As soon as Quirrell's words of encouragement fell, Hermione stood up immediately.

"Professor, isn't this something to be afraid of? Why aren't you sad or frightened at all?"

All the young wizards in the classroom stared at Quirrell curiously.

Although they were all first-year students, they had heard a little about the tragic experiences of the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors.

Every professor has encountered various accidents during his tenure or after leaving Hogwarts.

Some of the more serious cases were even admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

It can be said that wizards throughout Britain are wary of the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

And Quirrell's expression now was too relaxed, not at all like someone who knew about the deep curse he was under.

Moon also noticed this and stared at the other person, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

"Well, that's because I've decided to leave Hogwarts early so that the effects of the curse will be minimized."

Quirrell stammered his answer and immediately opened the textbook again.

"That's all for today's questions. I hope everyone understands from the questions just now that you should try not to provoke dark wizards."

Noticing that the little wizards' excitement had not yet died down, Quirrell immediately added another sentence.

"The evil spells and curses controlled by dark wizards may affect your life safety."

This sentence had a deterrent effect to some extent, and the discussion of the little wizards in the classroom gradually subsided.

Then Quirrell began to read haltingly from the textbook again.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Quirrell assigned an assignment.

"Please use your imagination to come up with a plan for how to use magic to defend against theft by Dark wizards. Please fill 15 inches of parchment."

"Oh, no, Professor, I thought you had changed for the better, but I didn't expect you to be even more cruel than Snape."

Ron whined immediately after hearing the homework requirements.

However, Quirrell ignored him and walked straight towards Moon. "Mr. Scarlett, is there anything else you'd like to know about the curse? If possible, perhaps we could come to my office for a detailed discussion."

As soon as Qi Luo finished speaking, Moon immediately shook his head.

"Not for now, Professor."

Although he had just learned some basic knowledge about curses from Quirrell, Moon's suspicion of the professor had not diminished at all.

"Okay, the homework has to be turned in after Christmas."

Quirrell said this with a slight, regretful look as he turned his head. When he was about to leave, he immediately turned back to look at Moon.

"By the way, are you leaving school for Christmas?"

Moon was about to shake his head when Ron next to him came over impatiently.

"Moon is going home, Professor. Can't you have a little less homework?"

"Really, Mr. Weasley? If you really can't finish it, it won't hurt to write less."

"Okay, Professor."

Watching Quirrell leave, Ron cheered happily.

"He's actually a pretty nice guy, isn't he?"

Ron said as he looked back at his friends, hoping to get a response from them.

But the opposite happened, Moon and Hermione looked at him as if he was a fool.

"Come on, I didn't know you were already suspicious of Quirrell."

"Ron, don't you notice that he's very abnormal today?"

Hermione and Moon walked side by side in front, and the little witch now had a very cold expression.

In fact, Hermione didn't doubt Quirrell at first, but later the homework with obvious direction made her suspicious.

"I didn't notice anything abnormal about him. Are you too suspicious?"

Ron's voice trailed off, and Harry nodded in agreement.

"It's unlikely that Quirrell would do that. He's too timid."

Harry still remembered the scene last week when Quirrell was teased by the twins. The twins used magic to create a snowball and chased each other all over the castle.

"But his performance today is completely different from before."

Hermione added.

Looking at his three good friends next to him who were about to continue arguing, Moon quickly spoke out to stop them.

"Right now, Quirrell is indeed more suspicious than the other professors, but these are just our guesses. We can observe further."

Just when Moon and the others were suspicious of Quirrell, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had already returned to his office.

"Master, if you are sure that the little wizard knows the way to pass the level, I can capture him right now and use Legilimency on him."

Before Quirrell could finish his words, a stern voice rang out from nowhere.

"Idiot! This is Hogwarts. Do you think Dumbledore won't be on guard? Or that you can beat Snape who is watching you every day?"

Snape should be more suspicious of Quirrell than Moon and the others.

However, he didn't have any evidence against Quirrell yet, so he could only spend a lot of time staring at him.

"Master, has he betrayed me? Ah~, Master, spare my life."

Quirrell was about to talk about Snape's problem when his head started to hurt.

He quickly covered his head with his hands, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Don't try your tricks. I will personally handle Severus's problem. Now you just need to keep a close eye on that little wizard and see where he will be during Christmas. This will make it easier for us to take action."

　I have been busy these two days, so the update is late.

　　Tomorrow will also be late.

　　I'm going to take a day off the day after tomorrow and drive back to work like a beast of burden.

　　Then it will be updated stably. I hope everyone understands.
　　Then after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I plan to resume the 10,000-word update.
