Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 139 Christmas Gift!!

“Have you heard? Just take off the big scarf on Professor Quirrell’s head and get 500 gold gallons. ”

“Who released this news, it can’t be fake, 500 gold gallons, that’s not a small amount?”

“The news should be true, but it is not clear who the big money owner is, but the Weasley twins say that as long as they take off the scarf on Professor Quirrell’s head, they can go to them and get a reward of 500 gold gallons.”

“God, is that person crazy, just for the scarf on Professor Quirrell’s head, he is willing to pay 500 gold galleons!”

“Who knows, we don’t understand the world of local tyrants, but the reward is really rich, I heard that many people have tried it, I will also try it, if I can take off the scarf on Professor Quirrell’s head, I can get 500 gold gallons.”

This kind of gossip spread very quickly in Hogwarts Castle, and most of the students from the first to the seventh year knew about it.

Under the temptation of Jin Garon, many students couldn’t help but feel moved, anyway, it was not a big deal, but they needed to take off the scarf on Professor Quirrell’s head, and they were not asked to duel with the professor.

Approaching the Christmas holiday, the mood of the little wizards was already very impetuous, and now this incident has appeared, which makes the little wizards restless.

And just like that, Professor Quirrell’s miserable life began, and whenever he appeared in public, some little wizards would sneak up on him and try to remove the scarf from his head.

For example, a few small wizards threw dung eggs at him, and Professor Quirrell used the Iron Armor Charm to protect himself, and as a result, the little wizards were taken away by Filch.

For example, a young wizard would casually approach Professor Quirrell and take the opportunity to remove the scarf on his head.

In order to protect himself, Professor Quirrell had to keep himself away from the crowd while watching and listening in all directions.

The successive sneak attacks made Professor Quirrell miserable, and he had now become a frightened bird.

Whenever a little wizard approached, he would put an iron armor spell on himself beforehand, and then look around vigilantly, almost suspicious.

The little wizards also had a lot of tricks, and although they failed to take off the big scarf on Professor Quirrell’s head, they also caused him quite a lot of trouble.

There were even a few times when Professor Quirrell was not paying attention, and the scarf on his head was almost half ripped off by the little wizard, frightening him to run away immediately.

Professor Quirrell was no longer afraid to appear in public, his three meals a day were solved in the office, and he did not leave the office except for the necessary classes.

Every time after the class, he would leave in a hurry, not daring to delay anything, otherwise there would definitely be a little wizard to deal with him.

When it was more serious, Professor Quirrell also put an iron armor spell on himself during his class, afraid that a little wizard would attack him.

This situation did not change until the beginning of the Christmas holidays.

There are two weeks of Christmas holidays, and students can choose to stay on campus or go home, and most students choose to go home for Christmas, which is the most important holiday of the year.

Gryffindor common room.

The fire in the fireplace was very hot, Harry, Ron, and Toby gathered in front of the fireplace to bake the fire, and now there were very few people here, and everyone else was going home for Christmas, such as Hermione and Neville.

Very few students choose to stay in school for Christmas, preferring to spend time with their families on an important day like Christmas.

“Harry, Ron, we should go, the dinner in the Great Hall is about to begin, today is Christmas Eve.”

Toby said.

“Oh, I think today’s dinner will be very rich, I don’t know what to eat, I can’t wait.”

Ron said cheerfully.

“It’s a pity Hermione and they all went home, otherwise it would be very lively.”

Harry said with some regret that he did not want to go back to his aunt and uncle’s house, and he preferred to stay at Hogwarts Castle, which was his home.

The three of them left the Gryffindor common room and walked towards the Great Hall on the first floor of the castle, all the way empty, except for the portraits, the characters inside, they seemed to be celebrating Christmas.

Coming to the auditorium, it has been renovated, and twelve tall fir trees have been decorated as Christmas trees, which are particularly beautiful under the effect of magic.

The walls of the auditorium are covered with weeping ribbons of holly and mistletoe, Christmas trees are hung with shiny Xiaoice pillars, and some trees have hundreds of candles twinkling

At this time, the four long tables in the Great Hall had become a long table, and since there were very few students who remained on campus, the Christmas Eve party was held by Hogwarts staff and students.

The total number of students who stayed on the school was only a dozen, and there were four of the Weasleys alone, Percy, Fred, George and Ron.

Harry, it was the first time they had eaten at the same table with the professors, but they seemed a little nervous and restrained.

Toby glanced at the people present, and all the Hogwarts staff seemed to be here at the moment, including Hagrid and Filch, of course, Professor Quirrell was still absent.

However, Toby also discovered an interesting thing, the Hogwarts faculty and staff all seemed to be single.

Needless to say, his old lover was still in Newmongard prison, Professor McGonagall had been married once before, but had been single since her husband died.

Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout were also single, both of them were leaders in their field, and perhaps they had focused their energy on spells and herbalism, and could not distinguish any other energy.

As for Professor Snape, he still missed his white moonlight.

The other professors, Professor Trelawney in the divination class, Professor Sinista in the astronomy class, and Madame Hooch in the flying class also seem to be alone.

“It’s no wonder that the population of the wizarding world is so small, and many wizards have chosen to be single.”

Toby shook his head secretly, the population of the wizarding world of the Eagle Country is only nearly 10,000, it is simply the population of a village in the Muggle world, and the witches in the wizarding world do not seem to be very childbearing, not every witch is Mrs. Weasley.

“Professor Quirrell didn’t come.”

Harry whispered.

“Professor Quirrell has been having a miserable time lately, he has stopped appearing in public, and he has been wrapping himself in an iron armor spell all day for fear of being attacked by other students.”

“However, as long as I remove the scarf on Professor Quirrell’s head, I can get 500 gold gallons, which is really enviable, if only I could remove the scarf on Professor Quirrell’s head.”

Ron’s face was full of expectation, 500 gold gallons, he had never seen such a large amount of money since he was born.

“Haha, little Ronnie, don’t dream, even we can’t succeed, let alone you, Professor Quirrell values his scarf as important as his life, I really don’t know what is under his scarf?”

The Fred and George twins also came together.

“However, we will not give up, we will definitely take off the scarf on Professor Quirrell’s head.”

The twins said, and winked at Toby and Jamie.

Before the dinner began, Dumbledore spoke briefly before announcing the start, and in an instant, a lot of delicious food appeared on the table.

Although the number of people is not very large, the atmosphere at the table is quite lively, and the professors talk and laugh while drinking.

As for the students, they also talked and laughed while eating food.

The Christmas Eve dinner party ended late, and after the dinner, Toby and they went back to their respective dormitories to sleep.

On that rare Christmas Eve, Toby and Jamie did not go to the Room of Requirement at midnight to practice magic, but planned to take a good rest.

The next day was Christmas, and when Toby woke up in the morning, he found a pile of packages piled up at the foot of his bed, all of which were Christmas gifts from others.

Compared to Toby’s, both Harry and Ron had much fewer packages, especially Harry, who only had a few.

“Merry Christmas! Toby, Ron! ”

Harry got up from the bed sleepily and said something to Toby and Ron.

“Merry Christmas! Oh my goodness, Toby you received so many Christmas presents! ”

Ron couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the pile of Christmas presents piled up at the foot of Toby’s bed…
