Hogwarts Asylum

112. I don’t want to look like a fool



In the Gryffindor third-year boys' dormitory, Harry was holding the Marauder's Map and frowning.

Ever since Harry became a member of the "School Rule Defenders", this map has been placed on Fred and George's bedside table. Anyone who wants to see it can take it for themselves, so Harry found it just now with ease. map.

As usual, Harry took out his wand and pointed at the old parchment and swore he would do no good, and then ink stains appeared on the parchment.

On the map, the ink dot that had been fixed on the representative of the school hospital, O'Loughlin, made Harry curl his lips.

In addition to Madam Pomfrey and Professor Sprout in the school hospital, Professor Flitwick in the auditorium, and Professors Hagrid and Kettleburn at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the others, whether Harry knew them or not, were Unknown professors gathered in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom - Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Sinistra, Snape...

But Harry turned over the Marauder's Map several times, even holding back his nausea, and searched for a long time among the dense ink dots in the auditorium, but could not find Professor Quirrell's name.

Is Professor Quirrell really missing?

"Boom-"

The dormitory door opened, and it was Fred and the others who came back. They didn't find it strange that Harry was here alone.

"Harry, come and see what we have harvested tonight." Fred held up two bags. One bag was bulging, and you could tell it was full of candies. The other bag was more deflated, but Fred shook it. After two clicks, it made a crisp tinkling sound. It was obvious that there were gold coins falling from the sky inside.

"Are you looking for someone?" George guessed, looking at the Marauder's Map in Harry's hand. He was also holding a pocket full of candy.

"I'm looking for Professor Quirrell." Harry nodded and casually took a few candies handed over by Lee Jordan.

"Why are you looking for him?" Li Jordan peeled off a piece of candy and put it in his mouth. "He's missing. Wouldn't it be nice for us to have one less boring class?"

"Listening to Professor Quirrell's lecture is worse than listening to Li sing." Fred continued.

"One less boring homework." George said.

"I'm just a little worried about the restricted area on the fourth floor." Harry said truthfully, "There's also the incident in the Forbidden Forest before. As you know, the same situation didn't happen again after that time, so Hagrid and I never found it. The killer of unicorns.”

"Are you still investigating? I thought you had given up." Fred put down the pocket with the gold coins, poured out more than half of the candy in the other pocket, and then took out a handful of prank candy from the drawer. Throwing it into his pocket and stirring it a few times with his hands, he prepared to find a few unlucky ones to draw the lottery tomorrow.

"If the murderer is not caught, sooner or later some unicorns will suffer." Harry looked at Fred's actions and politely refused the candy offered by George. He didn't want to have to bear a strange head again like he did at the beginning of school. green hair.

"Do you suspect Professor Quirrell did it?" Li came over, his dark face showing no expression at all in the dimly lit dormitory.

Harry scratched his head and said, "No, it's mainly because I'm afraid..."

At this moment, Harry suddenly realized that everyone else was looking at him. Harry subconsciously touched his face. What he picked up was a piece of plush. Looking at his hands, they turned into paws with white hair.

"I..." Harry rolled his eyes, "What the hell, Lee, what did you give me to eat?!"

"Hahahaha——" There was joy in the dormitory.

"I just said that if Harry doesn't accept the candy from us, it will be fine with Lee." Fred laughed.

"It's stuffed candy, Li's favorite." George smiled, turned over the mirror and came out.

"Nonsense, I like black ones, and those with white hair are not suitable for me." Li Le couldn't help but clapped his hands.

Looking at the big white cat with green eyes in the mirror, Harry was speechless. He took all precautions, but he still fell into their trap. Fortunately, he thought Li was the most serious one among them.

"It won't take almost half a month to disappear like last time, right?" Harry asked worriedly. Last time he attended class for two weeks with a green head on his head, so he won't have to do it this time. Are you going to class with a white head?

"No, of course not," Fred said resolutely, "This product has been improved and can be restored to its original state in up to three hours. The three of us have tried it, and I ate canary candies. "

"I'm eating raven candy. I think it will sell well in Ravenclaw." George gestured like he was flapping his wings.

"I ate the Black King Kong candy, which is very powerful." Li Ye gestured with a chest-pounding gesture.

"Then this one I'm eating is a white cat candy?" Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, next we are going to make biscuits, which are cheaper." Fred introduced their next product.

……

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"You mean, he found traces of me on that door?" Orolin was not angry because he was suspected. Instead, he glanced at Snape with interest, but Snape avoided him. eyes.

"The person who is most familiar with you here is Severus." Dumbledore said. "He found traces of your best alchemy from the lock above, so I want to hear your opinion."

"You're not planning to use this incident to kick me out of Hogwarts, are you? Sev-Les-" Orolin smiled.

"There's no need to use such dirty slurs to drive you out," Snape said expressionlessly.

"Okay, I admit it." Olorin said openly. Several professors touched his lower back, as if they were about to take out their wands at any time.

"Can you explain it?" Dumbledore remained unmoved and continued to observe the entire classroom.

"Of course, for some reasons, Dumbledore, you should understand." O'Loughlin said, "I was not worried about Quirrell staying here alone, so before going to the auditorium, I added Protect yourself."

"You mean..." Dumbledore looked up at Orolin. Although his eyes were still covered by sunglasses, it was obvious that he was frowning.

"Yes, you know, I'm very good at Legilimency." Orolin smiled. He believed that Dumbledore had long known that Quirrell had evil intentions.

O'Loughlin also considered exposing Quirrell's previous conspiracy in front of all the professors, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. Anyway, as long as Dumbledore believed that he had no problem, that would be enough. As for what other professors thought, that was not the case. important.

Sure enough, Dumbledore thought for a moment and finally nodded and said nothing.

Although the professors didn't know what riddle was being played between O'Loughlin and Dumbledore, no one raised any doubts out of their trust in Dumbledore, except Snape.

"I cannot accept this explanation." Snape said coldly, "I don't want to be kept in the dark like a fool."

But Oluolin just glanced at him and started walking around the classroom on his own.

It's a pity that Snape didn't intend to make eye contact with Orolin, otherwise he would definitely find out that Orolin was looking at him like a fool.
