Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 75 Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes

Jerry had been waiting for this opportunity.

Quirrell was able to sneak away from everyone and release the giant on the first basement level, which means he must have a spatial item on him that can hide the giant.

More subtly, Quirrell's avoidance of everyone gave Jerry an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The only difficulty is that Quirrell's strength is definitely at the professor level. With his current magical power, even if he were to launch a sneak attack, it would be impossible to defeat Quirrell silently and obtain that spatial equipment from him.

What's more, Quirrell has Voldemort's soul on the back of his head.

Although Voldemort was in a remnant state at this time and couldn't do much, he was still Voldemort, and who knew what other terrifying methods he might have up his sleeve.

He wanted the space equipment, which was nice, but he didn't want to die for it.

Just as he was about to give up, he saw the tranquilizer sniper rifle when he used magic to heal the soldier, which rekindled his hope.

Quirrell and Voldemort are extremely wary of magic and certainly very experienced in dealing with magical attacks, but they probably have little experience dealing with modern weapons, and may not even know what they are.

Crucially, this specially made military tranquilizer sniper rifle has a range of up to a kilometer, allowing him to launch a sneak attack from a place where the enemy cannot see him. Even if something goes wrong and he fails to take down Quirrell, he will still have time to escape.

Besides, this is Hogwarts, a Hogwarts with Dumbledore in charge. Even if Quirrell, a Death Eater, sensed something, he wouldn't dare to do anything.

If successful, they might not only acquire a spatial device, but also some of Kiro's personal property within it, making it a win-win situation.

Seeing Quirrell disappear into Classroom 5, Jerry rushed out of the classroom at the stairwell and quickly retreated in the opposite direction, then laid in ambush at a very suitable sniping spot that he had found over the past few days.

This sniping spot is a corner about 600 meters away from the stairwell, which is also a blind spot.

If someone goes downstairs, they will be able to see Jerry's position, and Jerry will also be able to see the other person. However, if someone goes upstairs, that person will have their back completely to Jerry, and Jerry can use his sniper rifle to aim at the other person's back.

When Professor Quirrell releases the troll, he will definitely return to the Great Hall on the first floor via the stairs to report the news, and then he can secretly give it a good whack.

After setting up his sniper rifle, Jerry focused intently on the direction of the stairwell through the scope.

With the help of Superman mode, plus the fact that he practiced a few times at the Requirement Room these past few days, his accuracy shouldn't be a big problem.

After about ten minutes, Professor Quirrell's silhouette finally appeared in the scope.

"Biu!"

Jerry decisively pulled the trigger.

A tranquilizer sniper bullet shot out from the muzzle and, in less than two seconds, traversed a distance of 600 meters, hitting Professor Quirrell in the buttocks before he could react at all.

Professor Quirrell, who had just released the troll under the Stunning Curse in Classroom 5, was preparing to walk back down the stairs to the Great Hall on the first floor to proceed with his next plan.

Suddenly he felt a numbness in his buttocks, and then an overwhelming drowsiness surged into his heart. Before he could take another step, his body swayed and he collapsed to the ground.

With a single, decisive shot, Jerry didn't hesitate. He immediately holstered his weapon and retreated, then hid in a nearby abandoned classroom, concealing the sniper rifle among a pile of clutter.

He didn't immediately go forward to search Quirrell's body, because although Quirrell was unconscious, Voldemort was not, and Voldemort shouldn't have much attack power right now, but it was always better to be cautious.

Hiding in the abandoned classroom, Jerry listened quietly to the sounds outside.

Sure enough, about five minutes later, the roars of a giant and the sound of a large club smashing a wooden door could be heard in the distance.

Jerry's plan was simple: aside from knocking Quirrell unconscious with a tranquilizer sniper rifle, he wouldn't directly confront Quirrell, but instead planned to use someone else to do the dirty work.

Quirrell is skilled at dealing with trolls, but that doesn't mean he can tame them. What would happen if the awakened troll encountered Professor Quirrell lying unconscious on the ground?

I imagine the troll would be more than happy to give a wizard who uses magic to knock himself unconscious a few big slaps or a few big clubs!

If Quirrell is killed by the troll, then Voldemort's remnant soul will surely escape Hogwarts, and he could then appear at the last minute to secretly take Professor Quirrell's box.

An excellent Slytherin, engrossed in reading and missing the dinner party, discovers a troll and Professor Quirrell, who has been killed by the troll, on his way to the first floor.

See, this is such a normal thing.

At this moment, Dumbledore was still in the Great Hall, and he wasn't afraid of being discovered.

While wizards possess investigative spells that can trace back the magic cast by a wand before it was cast, they lack spells that can trace the entire course of events.

Moreover, Jerry didn't use magic at all for this sneak attack; instead, he used a sniper rifle in a very unethical manner.

As for whether Quirrell's death will affect the subsequent plot development, Jerry thinks, what does that have to do with him?

Dumbledore wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone incident to train Harry, but that was Dumbledore's business. He just needed to become stronger on his own and then get some spatial equipment first.

However, even the most perfect plan can never keep up with changes.

Just as Jerry was quietly waiting in the abandoned classroom for the unconscious Professor Quirrell to be killed by the troll, a familiar scream suddenly forced Jerry to change his plans.

"What's Hermione doing here?"

Jerry was stunned when he heard the scream.

Yes, there is indeed a scene in the movie where Hermione is so upset by Ron's mockery of her for having no friends that she hides in the women's restroom on the basement floor and cries.

They were later discovered by the troll and nearly killed, but Harry and Ron arrived in time and managed to subdue the troll together.

However, he clearly went to Hermione to confirm this when he was having lunch in the Great Hall today.

During the morning Charms class, Ron did feel embarrassed because Hermione corrected him on the Levitation Charm, and he said a couple of hurtful things. However, because Hermione had Jerry as a good friend, she wasn't as upset as she was in the original story, although she was still a little annoyed.

Moreover, to prevent any accidents, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Hermione at noon and gave her some good advice.

But why is Hermione back on the first basement level? What's going on?

Because of Hermione's appearance, Jerry had to temporarily change his plans.

But thinking about it, it's not bad at all. At least it seems more realistic. And this time, he saved both Hermione and Professor Quirrell, which will definitely boost his reputation even more.
