Aphasia at Hogwarts

"Please ask Guan Qiong to answer this question."

With the sound of stuttering, there was a brief silence in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and even the dust stagnated in the air.

Half of the students turned their eyes to Guan Qiong, while the other half turned their eyes to Qi Luo on the podium.

Quirrell's body was trembling constantly, his face was pale and his expression was tense, as if he was going to faint in the next second.

Behind him is a magically enlarged picture, which describes a magical oriental creature called 'Human Face Sore'.

This is an impromptu addition by him, which is not in "The Dark Arts: A Guide to Self-Defense".

He just explained the strange habits of this magical creature, which grows from a human body, has a human face, can talk, and some can even eat.

In the end, without exception, people with 'face sores' all died in the end.

Quirrell's question just now is, what should I do if I encounter this situation?

Guan Qiong stood up, frowning slightly.

There is nothing wrong with the teacher asking the student to answer the question, not to mention that he has oriental blood.

There's only one problem, and that's that he's an aphasic, unable to speak.

So the teachers of any class never asked him to answer questions, including Professor Snape, who likes to trouble Gryffindor the most, and Professor Binns, who likes him the most.

What's the difference between that and asking a cripple to run a 100-meter race.

Guan Qiong looked at Qi Luo who was shaking non-stop, and wondered if the others didn't give Christmas presents, so he gave it alone, so he missed it.

But anyway, Quirrell is still a professor, and he has to answer questions.

Qi Luo looked at Guan Qiong with expectation and a trace of fear in his eyes, cold sweat kept breaking out, and he had to cover his head with a handkerchief.

Guan Qiong thought about it, it was nothing more than burning with a knife, taking medicine and giving injections, if these didn't work, then he could only...

While he was thinking, Quirrell's face suddenly changed, and he swung his wand violently, and the "Dark Magic: A Guide to Self-Defense" in front of everyone was turned to the same page, right next to the place where he lectured last time.

On the picture behind him, the writing on it quickly disappeared, and other content appeared, which exactly corresponded to the content that should have been in today's class.

\u003cHow to deal with Cuckoo\u003e

"Guan Qiong. You. You. You sit down first, I. Let's continue today's class." Quirrell stammered.

Guan Qiong sat down with a confused look, and the other students also looked confused, not understanding what Quirrell was doing.

However, there are too many strange things about Quirrell, and this incident is not surprising. In contrast, his turban that is always around his head and the lingering garlic smell on his body are more impressive.

"Cuckoo. Cuckoo. Cuckoo. Cuckoo is a creature that is often encountered in the family." Quirrell's classic stuttering teaching appeared, but the students below have become accustomed to it.

The wandering mind, the dazed ones, the ones who catch up with homework in other classes, the ones who read books, but none of them listened carefully to the class.

Guan Qiong also covered her ears with her hands to block Quirrell's voice, and read the contents of this "Black Magic: Self-Defense Guide" for self-study.

Cuckoo mouse is a kind of magical creature that is very common in the family. Its body is not much different from that of ordinary mice, except that there are feathers like pigeons on the sides of the two hands.

And the sound it makes is not 'squeak', but 'cuckoo', so it is called Cuckoo Mouse.

Cuckoo's teeth carry a toxin, which used to be one of the ingredients in the Potion of Forgetting, but was later abolished.

It is not very harmful, but sometimes it can cause serious consequences. People who are bitten by it will have holes in their memory, causing them to constantly forget things, which will cause other consequences.

One of the most dangerous types is forgetting that you have been bitten, not taking medicine in time, and finally the memory is completely shattered, and the person becomes a vegetative state.

But this time is generally very long. The longest example is that a person ventured into the deep mountains after being bitten, but he forgot the way to leave, and it took five years to come out.

The man forgot almost everything when he came out, except for one name. Fortunately, after taking the antidote, his memory was restored.

When Guan Qiong finished reading all the introductions about Cuckoo Rat and wrote down the herbal medicine that emits a scent to expel it, Quirrell on the podium was still saying 'cuckoo.cuckoo', and the content only reached three points one of the positions.

Guan Qiong scratched his head helplessly.

In other classes, when he was bored, he could use the magic perspective to look at other places, and sometimes he could see some interesting or extremely beautiful magic circuits.

But not in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Behind Quirrell's head is Voldemort's soul. He doesn't want to be spotted and looked over by Voldemort when he looks over.

As for Qi Luo's strange behavior just now, Guan Qiong can understand a little bit, it is nothing more than using the "human face sore" to imply that there is a similar thing on his body.

But Guan Qiong is not a good person, and Quirrell is not a good person. He even shot Harry before, trying to kill him. Guan Qiong didn't tell Dumbledore directly, but he still wanted to keep a low profile and not attract Voldemort's attention. principle.

Of course, he couldn't think of helping Quirrell separate Voldemort, save him or something.

So Quirrell's behavior just now can only be winking at the blind man, which is useless.

A class ended quickly, and Quirrell left in a hurry, while the students were in groups of twos and threes, discussing what to do next.

The things on Hermione's table were put away one by one, quills, textbooks, wands, and a stretched wooden kitten pen holder, which was specially used to put quills.

When picking up the kitten pen holder, Hermione glanced in Guan Qiong's direction, and it happened that Guan Qiong was also looking in this direction.

Hermione snorted softly, showing a little disgusted expression, and then put the kitten pen holder into her schoolbag.

When Guan Qiong packed her things and came to Hermione's side, the two walked out of the classroom together.

"Professor Quirrell was just curious. He actually clicked on you to answer the question, and suddenly stopped talking about the 'face sore' thing. What was he trying to say?" The two walked side by side to the classroom for the next class , Hermione wrinkled her small nose and spoke suspiciously.

"Who knows, he's always been weird." The wand in Guan Qiong's hand flew out with light spots and floated in front of Hermione.

Hermione felt the same way, and really didn't understand why the college hired him as a professor. If it was in a Muggle school, such a person would not be able to get a teacher qualification certificate at all.

"Does the 'face sore' that Professor Quirrell just mentioned really exist? On a person's body, another person's face grows." Hermione asked.

"Probably yes, I'm not sure. You know, I grew up in England, but I happen to be of oriental descent." Guan Qiong replied.

Thinking about that scene, Hermione shuddered, and stopped asking.
