Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 156: Professor Quirrell’s Funeral!!

Inside a classroom in the basement of Hogwarts Castle.

The windows on both sides were closed, and the entire classroom was empty, except for a bed in the middle, on which lay Professor Quirrell’s body and covered with a white cloth.

On both sides of the bed, a few candles were lit, but the light was very dim, and it looked quite eerie.

“Ah……… Albus, this……… This is Professor Quirrell? ”

Fudge’s voice was trembling, not that he was too timid, but that Professor Quirrell’s body looked too terrifying now.

Professor Quirrell’s face seemed to be burned by something, not only full of wounds, but even melted, his facial features became quite distorted, and his eyes bulged out, as if he was glaring at Fudge.

Fudge couldn’t help but shiver, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped it on his forehead.

Professor Quirrell’s chest had a large hole open, and through the big hole, you could see a broken heart inside, as well as some fragments of internal organs, which looked quite disgusting.

More importantly, Professor Quirrell’s skin was covered with terrifying dark spots, as if he had been hit by some terrible curse.

“Phew!”

At this moment, a dark wind blew through, blowing out the few candles, and the classroom was suddenly dark.

“Fluorescent flashing!”

The Aurors picked up their wands and cast the Lighting Charm.

“Oh! It startled me, Albus, this classroom is really scary enough, I think I have already seen Professor Quirrell’s body, there is no need to stay here, let’s get out. ”

Fudge said he really didn’t want to stay here for a moment, especially with a horrible corpse.

“Oh, of course.”

Dumbledore said with a smile.

Out of the basement, Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, and he wiped his forehead again.

“Albus, the location of the accident is in the Forbidden Forest?”

Fudge asked again.

“Yes, that dark wizard used powerful fire and almost burned the entire Forbidden Forest, although we extinguished it, but the Forbidden Forest still destroyed a small half.”

“Oh, are you going to check it out?”

Dumbledore asked.

“No thanks, Albus, I absolutely believe you, those damn dark wizards are really getting more and more lawless, I think the Fire Curse should also be included in the ranks of the Unforgivable Curse.”

Fudge shook his head and said he didn’t want to go to a place like the Forbidden Forest.

“Maybe you can apply to Wizengamot.”

Dumbledore said that as a kind of dark magic, the Fire Charm is not difficult to learn, but it is extremely difficult to control and often causes terrible consequences.

“Oh, I think I’ll give it a try.”

“Albus, now that things have been settled, then we should also go, you know, I still have a lot of things to be busy.”

Fudge said that he was just going through the motions this time to show that the Ministry of Magic took this matter seriously, but in fact he didn’t care, just the death of a poor professor.

“Connelly, I’m tired of you going this way, if you have something to do, you can go back first.”

Dumbledore said.

“Albus, is there really no need to let the Aurors in Hogwarts, what if that dark wizard comes again?”

Fudge asked again before leaving.

“No thanks, Connelly, I think Hogwarts has enough power to protect the students and not let them get hurt.”

Dumbledore once again refused.

“Okay, then we’ll go first.”

Fudge had some regrets, but left with the Aurors anyway.

“Poor Professor Quirrell has fallen victim to the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.”

“Terrible curse, I heard that several professors have died.”

“Defense Against the Dark Arts class is definitely cursed, I have already checked, in the past ten years, Hogwarts has changed a professor every year, and several professors have died tragically.”

“It’s really terrible, with so many professors dead, is it necessary for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to exist?”

Inside Hogwarts Castle, many young wizards are spreading rumors that they have developed a fear of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

Fortunately, the curse in Defense Against the Dark Arts class was only fighting for the professor, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

At noon, Dumbledore announced in the Great Hall that Professor Quirrell’s funeral would take place in the afternoon.

After lunch, Toby and Jamie came to the school hospital to visit Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville, who were so tired last night that they didn’t even go back to their dormitories, and just lay down in the school hospital.

“Are you awake? I thought you would sleep until the night, so you wouldn’t be able to make it to Professor Quirrell’s funeral.” ”

Toby said.

“Professor Quirrell’s funeral? What’s going on? ”

Harry they were shocked, how could they wake up and Professor Quirrell was dead, even the funeral was ready, did they sleep for a long time.

“Something big happened in the Forbidden Forest last night, you should know, right? Oh, I forgot that you are first-hand witnesses, so I don’t need to go into details. ”

“Simply put, the big battle that took place in the Forbidden Forest last night was between Professor Quirrell and a dark wizard, and Professor Quirrell was not the opponent of that dark wizard and was killed.”

“Professor Dumbledore has announced that Professor Quirrell’s funeral will be in the afternoon.”

Toby said.

“Oh my God, it was Professor Quirrell who fought in the Forbidden Forest!”

“Poor Professor Quirrell, he actually died.”

“Who killed him, and who was that dark wizard?”

Harry, Ron, Hermione were quite shocked, they didn’t expect things to be like this.

“How could I possibly know that? If you are well, eat something as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be able to make it to Professor Quirrell’s funeral. ”

Toby said.

“Oh, okay, Professor Quirrell’s funeral, we must go to it.”

Harry said that he had good senses for Professor Quirrell, after all, Professor Quirrell usually treated him well, and now that Professor Quirrell was dead, he should always go and see him off for the last ride.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, all the teachers and students of Hogwarts gathered in a cemetery behind the castle, which belonged to Hogwarts, and buried more than a dozen former headmasters of Hogwarts, as well as dozens of professors.

Those people, who have dedicated their lives to the school of Hogwarts, are all worthy of respect.

The funeral was presided over by Professor Flitwick, and it was his eulogy, probably because Professor Quirrell was a Ravenclaw graduate, and it was fitting that Professor Flitwick, the Dean of Ravenclaw, presided.

Professor Quirrell’s body had long been placed in a coffin and had already been buried, but it had not yet been covered with ten.

After Professor Flitwick finished reading the eulogy, all the teachers and students stepped forward to lay flowers in turn, and the somewhat sentimental little wizard even cried.

“Rest in peace, Professor Quirrell, you did not receive attention during your lifetime, but after you died, you were respected by everyone.”

Toby threw the flowers in his hand on Professor Quirrell’s coffin and pretended to pray.

The funeral lasted until four o’clock in the afternoon, and after all the Hogwarts students had stepped forward to lay flowers, Hagrid and Filch each took a large shovel and covered Professor Quirrell’s coffin.

At this point, Professor Quirrell’s funeral ended.

On the way back to Hogwarts Castle, Hermione, the little girl, seemed to be infected by the sadness of other little wizards, and tears were shed sadly.

“Hermione, Professor Quirrell is heroic, he died to protect Hogwarts, to protect us, his soul will surely ascend to heaven.”

Toby casually comforted a few words.

Professor Quirrell is really lucky, although he was not good in life, but after death, who can know, in fact, he is just Voldemort’s lackey.

Hermione gave Toby a teary and hazy look before throwing herself into his arms.
