Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 127 The Blackmailed Professor Quirrell!!

Toby and Jamie followed Professor Quirrell to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on the third floor of the castle.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is known to be one of the most dangerous professions in the wizarding world.

It is said that after graduation, Voldemort applied to Dumbledore for the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, but Dumbledore rejected him.

Unwillingly, Lord Voldemort placed a curse on the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts, and any wizard who served as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for more than a year would have an unfortunate accident.

Because of this curse, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts change every year, either voluntarily resign, or die tragically in an accident.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor before Professor Quirrell broke into the Forbidden Forest because he was drunk, and then he was killed by the poisonous horned beast.

When Hogwarts found the wizard, he was hanging from a tree, a big hole was opened in his chest, and his internal organs fell to the ground, which was simply miserable.

“Please come in, gentlemen.”

Professor Quirrell opened the door to his office and invited Toby and Jamie inside.

This office on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle has always been the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but because the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is different every year, the decoration of the office will change once a year.

“Professor Quirrell, did you call us here?” We were planning to go to the auditorium for lunch. ”

Toby said with a slight frown.

“Oh yes, lunch, it’s important, but I won’t bother you guys for long.”

“Actually, I called you here this time to ask a question.”

Professor Quirrell smiled, but his smile seemed rather unnatural, as if it were a nervous twitch.

“What’s the problem, Professor Quirrell?”

Jamie asked.

“Oh, yes, I heard your conversation just now, you and Hagrid are very familiar, right, in fact, I have a good relationship with Hagrid.”

“Hagrid used to give me some gifts, and I wanted to give him some gifts, but I don’t know what Hagrid likes, I think you should know, right?”

Professor Quirrell asked, the excuse he had made was exactly the same as Jamie had said before, probably because he couldn’t find any other good excuse but to give gifts.

“Oh, so that’s it, Professor Quirrell, Hagrid and I are good friends, and I know his preferences very well, but…”

Toby paused deliberately.

“What’s the problem?”

Although Professor Quirrell was anxious, he asked patiently.

“Professor Quirrell, in fact, Jamie and I are both orphans, and we are both poor and unable to eat recently, I wonder if Professor Quirrell can you sponsor us with some money?”

Toby put on a pitiful look, and Jamie on the side also cooperated to make a pitiful look, isn’t it acting, who wouldn’t.

Professor Quirrell secretly hated these two imps for being treacherous, and after talking for a long time, he actually blackmailed him, but now he couldn’t help but agree, and the other party pinched his weakness.

“Oh, that’s pitiful, as a professor, I think I should fund you, so how much do you need?”

Professor Quirrell also showed an expression of being moved.

“Professor, if you can give us 500 gold gallons each, I think we will be very grateful to you.”

Jamie said.

“500 gold gallons!”

Professor Quirrell was taken aback, 500 gold gallons per person, that is 1000 gold gallons, which is not a small amount, and the net worth he has accumulated over the years is only a few thousand gold gallons.

1000 gold gallons is already his small half.

“Damn little ghost, it’s so greedy!”

Professor Quirrell gritted his teeth in his heart, and these two imps actually opened their mouths, and one mouth cost 1000 gold gallons.

“Fool, promise them quickly, it’s just some gold gallons, and when I am resurrected, I will give you more gold gallons.”

Voldemort’s voice rang in Professor Quirrell’s heart.

“But, master…”

Professor Quirrell has some flesh pain, that is 1000 gold galleons, Professor Hogwarts has a year’s salary of less than 2000 gold gallons, 1000 gold gallons is his salary for half a year.

“Stupid fellow, 1000 gold gallons is nothing, as long as you help your master to resurrect, I will give you 10,000 gold gallons, 100,000 gold gallons, or even 1 million gold gallons.”

Of course, Voldemort said, he had this confidence because behind him stood the wealthy pureblood families, which were nothing more than cash machines for him.

“Also, since these two little wizards like Jin Garon, then this is their weakness, you can use Jin Garon to seduce them and draw them to our side.”

Voldemort went on to say that what can be done with money is nothing.

“But, master, I don’t have so many gold gallons.”

Professor Quirrell said that his entire net worth is only a few thousand gold gallons, and now he has to take out 1,000 gold gallons, and even needs to continue to pay in order to win over the two imps.

“Don’t you still have a few thousand gold gallons, don’t make excuses for me, get the Philosopher’s Stone as soon as possible, help me resurrect, and win over those two little wizards and let them become our internal response.”

“If you can’t, you’ll know the consequences.”

Voldemort said impatiently.

“Yes, yes, master.”

Professor Quirrell could only agree, he really regretted it now, but regret was useless, there was only one way to go to the dark.

“Professor Quirrell, don’t you agree? Since that’s the case, then we won’t bother you. ”

Toby said coldly, pulling Jamie and wanting to leave, but as soon as the two took a step, Professor Quirrell’s voice immediately came.

“Oh, wait a minute…”

Toby and Jamie turned around again.

“Professor Quirrell, it seems that you agreed.”

“It’s just 1,000 gold gallons, which shouldn’t be nothing to a wealthy professor, right?”

Toby and Jamie said separately.

The professors at Hogwarts are basically invisible rich, such as Professor Snape is a potions master, Professor McGonagall is an expert in Transfiguration, Professor Flitwick is an expert in charms, and Professor Sprout is an expert in herbalists.

These professors are basically not poor in money, let alone Dumbledore, and the accumulation of more than a hundred years is afraid that some pure-blood families cannot compare with him.

Professor Quirrell was about to vomit blood in anger, what is called 1000 gold gallons is nothing, it is equivalent to half a year’s salary.

“As a professor, I admire you very much, two gentlemen, so I am willing to sponsor you, please wait a moment, I will go and withdraw the money.”

Professor Quirrell walked into the bedroom, and at Hogwarts, the Professor’s bedroom and office were basically connected.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Professor Quirrell came out, two money bags in his hands.

“This is 1,000 gold galleons, and I funded you.”

Professor Quirrell handed the two money bags to Toby and Jamie, with a reluctant smile on his face, and his heart ached to death.

“Thank you so much for your funding, Professor Quirrell.”

Toby and Jamie thanked him and said that in order to get the Philosopher’s Stone, Professor Quirrell really endured the burden of humiliation and could be called the strongest ‘ninja’, but if he learned that the Philosopher’s Stone was fake at all, I don’t know what kind of expression he would have.

“Then Hagrid…”

Professor Quirrell asked a little anxiously, he paid such a big price to gain Hagrid’s favor.

“Professor Quirrell, don’t you know that Hagrid actually likes fire dragons the most, he has always looked forward to having a fire dragon egg, but unfortunately fire dragon eggs are too rare, and Hogwarts is not suitable for raising fire dragons.”

Toby opened the money bag and said nonchalantly while counting the gold gallons inside.

Professor Quirrell looked at Toby’s behavior, his temples jumping with anger, these two damn little wizards, these are his hard money…
