HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 99 Voldemort in Action

Harry's trip to find Hagrid wasn't entirely fruitless.

First, he learned the reason why Snape was always targeting him: his father.

Secondly, he learned that the treasure hidden in the fourth-floor corridor was related to a man named Nicolas Flamel.

He couldn't find anyone suitable to ask about the grudges of the previous generation.

After all, even Hagrid, who was closest to him, didn't mention it at all, so there was no hope of finding out anything from other people.

Therefore, Harry could only focus all his energy on finding Nicolas Flamel.

Unfortunately, he and Ron searched the library for over a month without finding anything.

Meanwhile, Elaine was also in his dormitory, methodically conducting his research on a new type of potion.

Researching new potions is an extremely time-consuming and laborious task, not to mention that Elaine is researching highly difficult potions such as life potions and soul potions.

Since mid-September, after inheriting the medical knowledge of [Poliusika], Elaine has begun his own research, but so far, the results have been limited. He has wasted a lot of medicinal materials and caused several major setbacks.

Fortunately, he lives alone, so he doesn't have to worry about being affected by other people during the cooking process.

That day, after the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Quirrell called Elaine into his office alone.

"E--Eleven--you--want to learn a more--more-advanced--defense-against-dark-magic spell?"

Quirrell stammered in a seductive tone.

Elaine felt a surge of excitement.

Finally, unable to restrain himself any longer, is he going to make a move against me?

I've been waiting so long, Teacher Fu!

Ever since arriving at Hogwarts, Elaine had been thinking about when Quirrell, or rather Voldemort, would come knocking on his door.

To give Voldemort a jolt, he constantly made his presence known at Hogwarts—by drawing the Gryffindor sword during the Sorting Ceremony to promote the idea of ​​"eliminating prejudice."

They established a study group and used "instant freeze" to subdue the Slytherin troublemakers;

On Halloween Eve, the invasion of the trolls disrupted their plan to steal the magic stone.

However, Voldemort remained unmoved.

Elaine did not believe that Voldemort could tolerate a wizard from Muggle society with anti-bloodline beliefs constantly increasing his influence at Hogwarts.

But the fact is, Voldemort has not made a move until now; he has simply watched from the sidelines.

There's only one reason!

Voldemort is consuming Quirrell's life to strengthen himself!

Before this, he dared not make any rash moves against any junior wizard.

Because Dumbledore is still at Hogwarts.

But now, Voldemort is about to make a move.

Why did he start taking action?

It's certainly not because his vitality and soul have almost recovered, nor because Dumbledore left Hogwarts.

There is only one reason why Voldemort began to act!

Quirrell's life is about to enter its final countdown!

He needs a new piece to help him seize the Philosopher's Stone, or a new host to provide him with life force.

Voldemort was always arrogant and overbearing.

Why would someone like that choose an ordinary wizard as their pawn and host?

Looking across the entire Hogwarts, he only had one choice: Elaine!

With his youthful body, handsome appearance, immense influence, vigorous vitality, and magical talent that is rare even in a century, Elaine is Voldemort's best pawn and the best host in the entire Hogwarts!

Elaine knew that as long as he became a prominent figure at Hogwarts, Voldemort would eventually come after him.

The fact that he came to him proved that he had no other choice.

"A more advanced defense against dark magic?"

Elaine feigned surprise, then a hint of excitement, "Professor Quirrell, you—you're going to teach me?"

"Yes."

Quirrell nodded and said with difficulty, "I know your talent far surpasses that of others. You've already taught yourself a lot about Black Magic and Defense. I've heard that even seventh-year students are no match for you. So, I want to teach you advanced Black Magic and Defense, but I don't know if you'd be willing."

"I want to!"

"I really want to learn!"

Without the slightest lag, Elaine instantly transformed into Elaine Huhai Cao Pi Yakut, his face displaying an expression brimming with madness, greed, ferocity, excitement, and urgency.

"I—I dream about this all the time!"

"Professor Quirrell, if you teach me Advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts, I—I'll do whatever you say!"

Quirrell was startled.

Voldemort was stunned for a long time.

No, is this really the same Eleven Yakut who, no matter what happens, is always so elegant, upright, kind, and composed?!

That expression doesn't look fake at all!

Could it be that his behavior in school was all an act?

There was a moment of silence in the office.

Quirrell sighed inwardly.

I never imagined Elaine would be this kind of student —

Originally, he still held a sliver of hope.

Perhaps Elaine's temperament and wisdom so far have enabled him to resist temptation, discover his own abnormality, and inform Dumbledore so that Dumbledore can deal with Voldemort.

But now it seems there's no hope!

Is fate truly against me, Quirrell?!

Is it truly fate that Voldemort is to be resurrected?!

Voldemort was unaware of Quirrell's thoughts.

His heart was gradually shifting from astonishment to ecstasy.

Ha ha ha ha! ! !

I originally thought it would take a lot of talking, but things went so smoothly.

So all of this little wizard's previous composure, calmness, gentlemanly manners, fairness, and kindness were just an act. On the surface, he looked like a good student, but in reality, he was just a greedy person who was crazy about pursuing power!

Yes, yes —

His acting was so superb that he fooled everyone at Hogwarts, including Dumbledore, and even me, a veteran actor.

It has seven-tenths of my former glory!

However—

snort!

I figured it out after trying it out!

It doesn't matter; as long as he has something to ask for, he will have a weakness.

With my abilities, all I need to do is use some dark magic, and this kid will be completely at my mercy!

With that in mind, Voldemort began communicating with Quirrell via a private channel.

"Give him that black magic journal!"

"Yes—yes—Master!"

Quirrell dared not disobey Voldemort's orders, so he turned around, took out a notebook he had prepared beforehand, and handed it to Elaine.

"This—this place—contains records three of the highest-level spells. I hope—I hope you—can use them well!"
