Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

Quirrell looked so lost that one couldn't help but feel pitiful.

He returned the Sorting Hat to Jody. Looking at his appearance, Jody comforted him, "Don't worry, this guy just doesn't want to speak. He's a bad hat with bad intentions."

"I heard it!" the Sorting Hat muttered dissatisfied, "and you can't blame me, his condition is indeed dangerous."

"What did he say?" Jody pointed to his head and asked Quirrell, ignoring the Sorting Hat.

"I don't blame Mr. Sorting Hat, it's because I'm not good at my skills. Even though I'm a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I couldn't catch the signs that I was entangled by the curse. Mr. Sorting Hat taught me right."

"Curse?" Jodi was stunned for a moment and then realized, "Voldemort's curse?"

Quirrell sighed and nodded, "After I took over, I didn't feel the signs that the previous professor said. I thought the curse had disappeared... Now it seems that the bad luck may still exist."

After saying that, he smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps I have some reasons for encountering so many difficulties during the restoration process."

Jodi didn't know how to comfort him, "It's okay, at least the curse has weakened. There is still a long time until the next semester. Maybe we can find a way to solve the curse."

Quirrell nodded.

At this time, the Sorting Hat also explained to Jody, "A cursed soul, although he has a good heart and is worthy of trust. But I really can't trust him..."

Jody didn't say anything else. He couldn't trust Quirrell, nor could he trust him. What's next? Going to visit Snape?

It’s not trustworthy even if he has a dark history! Jody even thought up an excuse for the Sorting Hat.

He thought for a moment and put down the soup bowl in his hand and found the letter paper and quill.

"Do you need me to help you find an owl?" Hagrid asked tentatively.

Jodi shook his head, "You go on and reminisce. As for the owl~ Quirrell, I hope you can cheer up and go for a walk outside to relax."

Quirrell nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the owl loft... I really need to be alone for a while."

For Quirrell, the Seven Gates may be really important. He is a mixed-race and wants to remain neutral. If he is not willing to flatter pure-bloods, he must prove himself in other ways to ensure that he can stand upright.

Able to live with style.

This society had never been gentle to him before he came to Hogwarts, so despite his talent, he was never complacent and worked diligently on his research.

Watching him leave the shack with some concern, Jody looked at Hagrid expectantly.

He may need some help remembering something.

"Maybe you can think about it, has Mr. Scamanda ever talked to you about his school life? Did anything special happen to him while he was in school?"

"Well, Mr. Scamander's private life can only be heard when Ms. Tina and I chat... If we want to talk about special things, we have to talk about it after he graduated. After he graduated, Mr. Dumbledore went with him.

We worked together to deal with Gaylord Grindelwald, the most dangerous dark wizard at the time. Even now, many people still think that Grindelwald is more dangerous than You-Know-Who."

Jody nodded in agreement, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong with the timeline, so he shook his head again, "It shouldn't be after graduation... Forget it, keep going! Is there anything else you can think of?"

"Wow~ Let's talk about when he was in school. He liked to study some magical animals when he was studying. When talking about this, Ms. Tina often wondered how he raised so many kinds of magical creatures in school.

...I seem to have thought of something."

"What?" Jody immediately sat up straight and put aside the half-written letter in his hand.

"After I returned to Hogwarts, Mr. Scamanda specifically asked me to find Professor Sprout and asked me to help her take care of the 'underground palace' of Hogwarts."

"Underground palace?" Jodi couldn't help but get excited whenever he heard a term he had never heard of in the book of prophecies. "What kind of underground palace? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Hagrid recalled it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became, "That is the underground palace left by Hufflepuff, and it is one of the secrets of Hogwarts like Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

Secret room? Jodi was even more surprised, "So do the four founders have their own secret rooms?"

Hagrid shook his head, "Then I don't know. Hufflepuff's underground palace was originally Helga Hufflepuff's workshop, which was her personal laboratory used to study magic. Wow...it doesn't seem to have happened in that era.

It’s called the workshop, more commonly it’s called the Master’s Tower.”

Jodi had indeed heard about it in class about the history of magic in the Wizard's Tower.

Hagrid continued, "When Hogwarts was being built later, Helga Hufflepuff donated her workshop so it could stay here."

"Isn't the underground palace open to students?" Jodi was very confused.

"Actually, quite a few teachers know about the existence of the underground palace, but it's just that the various subjects don't use that place very much. The instability of the elements makes it a little more dangerous, so only Professor Sprout and I sometimes

I'll go there...but I learned a lot there, and although it's dangerous, it's a good place."

Jodi stood up excitedly, "Can I understand that I can come into contact with the Hufflepuff heritage in the underground palace?"

Hagrid shook his head, "No, no, no, Hufflepuff is not like Slytherin. She will not leave a specific inheritance. The underground palace is just one of the facilities used to provide magic for Hogwarts...I am today

I don’t even understand how Mr. Scamanda maintains the underground palace. The underground palace now is much more unstable than when it was in Mr. Scamanda’s hands.”

'No two friends are more in tune with each other than Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin, and no other pair of friends are as good as Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hutch.

As close as Patch?'

As the main architect of the Seven Gates, it's not too much to leave an important position for a friend, right?

Jody kept churning these words in his mind, so much so that the Sorting Hat heard him muttering to himself.

'Hmm~ This sentence is quite interesting, I have to write it down and put it into the lyrics.'

Jody's mind was confused for a moment. Hagrid's statement confirmed his thoughts. Senior Newt's superb skills indeed had something to do with it.

Although the underground palace is not considered a heritage, there are so many things that explorers can learn through the self-study process of interpreting the underground palace.

"Is it the underground palace discovered by Mr. Scamanda?" Jody asked the most critical question.

Hagrid thought about it carefully and finally confirmed, "It seems so, at least no one knew about the existence of the underground palace before he returned it."

Jodi walked around the room to vent his excitement. He didn't even bother to eat anymore. He quickly sat down to write the letter and wrapped it in an envelope. "Dinner may be interrupted, Hagrid..."

At this time, Quirrell, who had been delayed for some time, also returned to the hut.

Jody grabbed the owl and walked towards the door without stopping. At the same time, he explained to Quirrell, who had no idea why and quickly followed him, "You have heard of the underground palace? Hagrid said that Mr. Scamander discovered it."

Underground palace.

If there is a test, I think it should be related to the underground palace... Can you find the location of the underground palace on the seven doors?"

Quirrell's mind was spinning rapidly, "Professor Sprout agreed that I would participate in maintaining the elemental rings in the underground palace. I know the underground palace.

But the Marauder's Map was created by interpreting a small part of the functions of the Seven Doors, and it is part of the knowledge school that it can detect.

There are many deeper secrets in areas it cannot reveal.

However, I can confirm that there are two magic circle structures that are very similar to the structure of the underground palace! I can confirm that the seven-layer door is connected to the underground palace!"

Jodi nodded and let go of the owl in his hand as he walked out of the door, "So I have to disturb Professor Sprout next!"
