Chereads / The Third Dark Lord / Chapter 13 - Professor Quirrell

Chapter 13 - Professor Quirrell

After a few days of reflection, Dantalion finally decided to ask Professor Quirrell about the Wishing Spell, he couldn't avoid it forever, and to be honest he had gotten over most of his initial fear, now Voldemort doesn't have much strength it was a "parasite" that slowly devoured Professor Quirrell's life and magic, until he got the Philosopher's Stone, he could only rely on unicorn blood to survive.

This is Hogwarts, Dumbledore's main location, and the Dark Lord can only keep a low profile here, so nonchalantly Dantalion walked towards Quirrell's office.

"Hello Dantalion" greeted a colleague who passed by the corridor, smiling politely Dantalion greeted him, after the incident at dinner the popularity of the Slytherin at school skyrocketed, and then when the subject was calming down, the fact that he was the first student of the first year When receiving an invitation to join the Transfiguration Club spread, further raising his popularity, along with his handsome face and family history, almost no one at school didn't know him.

There was even a group of fans! And Zambine, who was a lover of gossip and very friendly with Medeline Shaq, a Slytherin known for being a gossip and revealing the students' romantic affairs, became the head of the group and Mrs. Shaq your accomplice.

As soon as he arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Dantalion saw Hermione walking towards him "Malfoy heard you joined Professor MacGonagoll's club" he said with a slightly envious tone, "Yes, but now I'm in a hurry, I came to do some questions for Professor Quirrell"

"Professor Quirrell? I think you'd better look in the books, the teacher... well he won't help you much" he said a little embarrassed, not wanting to be rude and trying to respect the teacher.

"Well he offered to help me" the boy said with a shrug, the two were silent, and the atmosphere became a bit strange, Dantalion continued "Well, then I'll go now, see you later" turning around, noticing the cue, little lioness walked away.

Dantalion's hand squeezed the doorknob and his heart revived again, entering the room he saw the teacher sitting at the table, apparently he wasn't the "stupid" teacher ever! Distrustful of the change, Dantalion wanted to turn and leave, but he resisted, however, on the defensive, he decided not to close the door, thus being able to see the students passing by at any moment.

"Hello professor" he greeted him respectfully "I'm here to ask about the principles of the Wishing Spell, I don't know if you have time?"

At this point Quirrell didn't flinch in the slightest, but sat elegantly behind the desk, posture straight and confident, piercing eyes fixed on Dantalion and motioning him to close the door with a fake smile.

"Professor, I'm allergic to garlic, if I close the door I could pass out here" explained the boy calmly, in his mind Dantalion thought of a way to not let Valdemort suspect him.

At this time Professor Quirrell, with a domineering air, waved his hand and the office door closed instantly, looking at Dantalion, who was momentarily alert, laughed and said "Aren't you good at using the Bubble Head spell? I don't mind you wearing it to the office."

Dantalion with the sudden movement, taking a deep breath to calm himself and activating his Clemency to the maximum, looked at the professor with his usual calm face, taking his wand silently in a hidden way. The professor didn't seem to notice his situation and with one more wave of his hand, two cups flew in front of the two and soon a teapot jumped onto the table and spilled water over the cups.

This set of wandless fluid magic made little Malfoy dazzled for a moment, even though he trained tirelessly, he still couldn't do magic without his wand, what little he achieved was crude and uncontrolled magic, and seeing the operation in front of him, saw the world of difference.

Quirrell was very pleased with Dantalion's reaction, he raised his hand and gestured "Please, sit down" then an armchair in the corner came alone to the boy's back, Dantelion sat down and looked at the teacher in front of him calmly but with restraint . "Mr. Malfoy I've heard descriptions of you from other people, some purebloods say you're very intelligent, a genius who was trained by the Malfoy family, but after interacting with you I must say the rumors have a grain of truth."

"Professor, you are praising me too much" Dantalion looked into his eyes and said calmly.

"Excessive modesty is a limitation! Dantalion Malfoy, if you are a genius, you must not confine yourself to modesty, it will wear away your talent!" The professor shook his head in disapproval and looked at him with a smile. "There are different people in this world, a small number of them are talented, born to occupy high positions and are entrusted with heavy responsibilities by fate, and you Dantalion, are one of those people!" the teacher takes a sip of tea and continues " I always felt that good students should always be treated differently, and their classmates, they were born to follow, and what they learn and know is a little dust in the sea ahead of them , but you are different, you cannot waste time, talent is valuable, but if it is not worked on, it deteriorates. The knowledge taught in school only satisfies those who have no future, it cannot make you famous or strong, if you want to go further in magic, you have to be the leader."

Professor Quirrell spoke in a natural tone, spoke softly and stared at Dantalion with a seductive meaning, Dantalion regretted coming here, listening and paying attention to his words, one could guess the true meaning!

Dantalion pretended to be stupid and changed the subject, pretending to be confused and asked "Professor, why did you stop stuttering?"

Quirrell looked at Dantalion with a deep look and a smile "You are very smart, in fact, you found out that something was wrong with me from the first class, so you didn't come to my office that day, but after careful consideration… "

"Professor, what are you talking about?" How could I not understand this hint? Dantalion continued to feign stupidity.

"Did not understand? Crafty little fellow, if you could just drop your wand, I might even believe you," Quirrell said with a smile and a teasing look in his eyes, pointing to his hidden hand. "Don't you know why I'm disguised like this?" The teacher asked, as if he expected the young man to take the initiative to ask.

"None of my business, professor, I'm not curious," said Dantalion coldly. what else could it be? Of course the Philosopher's Stone! Of course you are not Professor Quirrell but Voldemort! Dantalion whispered softly.

" HAHA, worthy of a Slytherin, cold and cunning" The teacher was satisfied with the boy's answers, applauded gently and agreed " Only a very disciplined person can succeed without distraction, otherwise he will be affected by confusing things and become weak..."

Dantalion disagreed with this statement, magic needed emotions to become powerful, and the strongest of them was love, it was almost unbeatable if you learned how to use it, Harry Potter was proof of that, his mother sacrificed herself to launch a protection of love on his son, which resulted in the Dark Lord's downfall.

"Say, what magic do you want to seize?" Quirrell's voice changed and his eyes twinkled "I have a lot of spells here that can't be learned in school, even black magic spells"

"You can learn anything" Dantalion's face was full of surprise, calming down and thinking objectively, he understood something and asked "Magic knowledge is too precious to be given away, what do you want me to do?" A smile appeared on the teacher's face.

"You really are smart" said the professor appreciatively, then shook his head "but I still don't need you, so, in good faith, you can come to me every weekend to learn something and depending on your performance I will teach more advanced knowledge

Analyzing the pros and cons, Dantalion looked at the professor, who had a confident look on his face at this point, he didn't care if it was right or wrong, it was better to prostitute himself and then manage the situation, then he said offhandedly "I I want to seize the wish spell you talked about in the last class."

"Wish Spell? What's so great about it?" Quirrell was a little disappointed "Although this spell is interesting, it can only last for three seconds and doesn't have much effect"

"You should probably learn a powerful spell, how about Bombarda Maxima, if you have enough magic power you can blow up an entire street!"

"Professor, I'm very curious about the principle of the Wishing Spell's Void Creation Skill, so I want to study it," insisted the boy.

"OK, since you want to learn it, I'll teach you" Quirrell nodded.

He drew a symbol in the air of his wand, golden sand spilled out from the tip of the wand, floating like fine water, much like the sand inside a time turner, except it wasn't silver "The Wishing Spell is actually magic created accidentally. by the old wizard, based on the lamp genies of muggle fairy tales, requires an extremely strong will from the caster to release what the old wizard called "magic dust".

The dust can transform into anything, even a living human being, at a mage's will, but it only lasts for three seconds! Quirrell continued."When I first saw this magic, I was also very surprised, because it can transform into anything in this world, which makes it more wonderful than transfiguration."

With a wave of the professor's wand, the sand condensed into a living snake of three heads, but in the blink of an eye the snake disappeared. "But after studying for a while, giving up completely, because finding out that this magic dust, to be blunt, is the materialization of magic, and these things are simulating everything with magic." Looking closely at Dantalion said "Although Void Creation has been achieved, to some extent, it is the mage's magic that is sacrificed! No one would choose such magic, not even Nicholas Flamel, who had accumulated magic for hundreds of years, thus making it impossible to turn the Wishing Spell into something permanent! Unless you have infinite magic!"
