Chapter 61： Quirrell's prank

The three quickly rushed back to the castle and came to Dumbledore's office.

"Chocolate frog." Hagrid gave the password and led the two into the principal's office.

Although it was nearly midnight, Dumbledore had not rested, so after Hagrid came in, he saw Dumbledore directly. Seeing that Hagrid was here so late, Dumbledore knew that he must have something very urgent, so he didn't talk nonsense and asked Hagrid directly what happened.

Hagrid recounted his encounter in the Forbidden Forest to Dumbledore. Dumbledore's expression didn't change after listening to it. He peacefully let Tom and Hermione stay in the office later, and then went straight to the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid.

Tom and Hermione were resting in Dumbledore's office. It was not until she entered Dumbledore's office that the fear and tension in Hermione's heart gradually eased. Hermione had never seen the big scene just now. First, a mysterious monster attacked, then her friend actually took out a gun and shot him. Finally, she also witnessed the death of an innocent, fresh life. .

This is too heavy for a twelve-year-old witch.

But Dumbledore's office was like magic, calming her restless heart easily. And when she calmed down, she began to forgive the most sacred office in the magic world.

The first thing that caught her attention was the portrait on the wall. She was very interested in the name and tenure of the principal below the portrait. She looked at each one one by one, trying to put her impression of each principal and their appearance.

"Little girl, in front of you is one of the greatest headmasters of Hogwarts -- Phineas Nigellus Black!" Hermione walked over to a sly-faced, goatee-looking old wizard A while ago, he suddenly opened his mouth to speak. He originally wanted to say that he was "the greatest principal", but he was afraid that the portraits around him would beat him up, so he added one of them.

Hermione was taken aback. This was the first time that a principal had taken the initiative to greet her. She glanced at this "spontaneous familiar" principal, and felt that his name sounded familiar. She recalled for a moment: This principal seems to be...

"One of the greatest principals? Obviously the most unpopular principal!" Principal Dalys Dewant mercilessly revealed his old story.

Phineas Black's face was slightly red, and he looked angry, but he didn't dare to say anything, just muttered in a low voice: "That's because I'm strict..."

"Okay, little girl, it's your honor for this principal to talk to you in person." Phineas began to brag about his life experience, and Hermione recalled it carefully. The principal in front of him seemed to be nothing. An outstanding achievement.

However, Tom next to her was also very interested in the portrait of Principal Phineas. He wanted to lie down and look at it. Phineas felt a little uncomfortable, so he cleared his throat and asked, "This Classmates, I can understand your excitement to see this principal, but please keep your social distance and be more respectful of your portrait."

Tom took two steps back a little bit. He looked at the portrait of Phineas and finally asked, "Headmaster Black, I heard that there is a treasure hidden behind your portrait. Is this true?"

Phineas Black: ? ? ?

I do not know how? !

Other portraits in the office also cast curious eyes, and a fat principal with a red nose shouted directly: "Boy, then quickly remove the portrait of Phineas, and let us open our eyes! "

Phineas was taken aback and hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Why didn't I know there was a treasure under my portrait? Besides, if there was something, my portrait would not hang evenly, so boy, what is hidden behind my portrait? what is it?"

He was really scared. He was afraid that the kid in front of him really took him off the wall. Then he would become the first headmaster ever to be removed from the wall at Hogwarts. Been laughed at for hundreds of years.

"It is said that the title deed of Hogwarts is hidden behind your portrait. I want to see if it is true."

Phineas:  …

Other principals:  …

Soon, there was a burst of laughter in the office, and the principals all burst into laughter.

Phineas shouted loudly: "There is no title deed at all! Or the castle itself is the title deed! Only those who are approved by the castle can become the headmaster of Hogwarts and own this piece of land during their term of office!"

……

Dumbledore rushed to the Forbidden Forest and came to the place where the unicorn's body was. He looked at the tooth marks on the unicorn's wound and frowned. Hagrid, who was following behind, saw this scene and couldn't help but shuddered: Hagrid also heard the curse of the unicorn.

Dumbledore took out his wand: "Appear in human form!" He tried to find the person who drank blood here before, but it was obvious that the person was also an expert, and he directly eliminated his traces.

Dumbledore shook his head, and after burying the unicorn with Hagrid, he returned to the castle.

While Hermione and Tom were bickering with the portrait in the officeDumbledore and Hagrid were collecting the corpse, Quirrell was in the owl shed. He watched the wounds on his body gradually heal, and also felt that the vitality brought by the unicorn blood was nourishing his body and his master.

Of course, the tiredness in my heart could not be erased.

"Master, what should we do next? We may be exposed now, and we may be caught in the net again when we go back to school..."

A hoarse voice sounded on the back of his head: "What happened to that three-headed dog? Isn't it supposed to be in the corridor on the fourth floor?"

"Master, I don't know..." Quirrell shivered.

"Forget it, we have to act fast, you need to find a way to get the Philosopher's Stone right away—"

"Master—" Quirrell wailed, the Master's request was simply impossible for him. If he could steal it directly, wouldn't he steal it earlier? Quirrell felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to complete his master's task: he couldn't deal with the three-headed dog alone, and the master's power was limited...

Wait a minute, three-headed dog...

Quirrell felt as if he had some ideas.

He stood blankly for a while, then suddenly slapped: "I know what to do!"

He immediately picked up the free pen and paper in the owl shed, and wrote a letter. He fixed the envelope, wrote the Ministry of Magic's address on it, and sent the letter.

Quirrell showed a subtle smile: I'm such a clever little devil! This time, the three-headed dog will no longer be a hindrance! So, people are forced to be in a hurry, what can't they do?

Voldemort who possessed Quirrell didn't care what his servant was doing at all. As long as he could get the Philosopher's Stone, Quirrell would have no problem selling his ass.
